Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 237 Beginning

"The gains are significant, and it can even be described as a significant improvement."

"However, after this explosive improvement, there will be another period of accumulation."

"If you want to quickly improve your combat power, you can only start from other aspects."

Thinking of this, Lin Xingyu looked down at his arm.

With a little time to repair it, the battle armor can be directly upgraded to the level of a three-word battle armor.

He initially chose only the most perfect divine alloys, which he could later refine with his blood and qi, further improving their quality.

It achieved a perfect 100% fusion.

In the original novel, Tang Wulin also relied on the top-grade metal, Jinshui Xianghan, to achieve a 100% alloy fusion rate in the forging of his battle armor. He had already completed this step ahead of time.

The special metal that is associated with water and metal is a kind of spiritual medium that can become close to any metal and become a part of any metal.

Even a small amount can be worth almost as much as a god-level mech.

Aside from the fact that it cannot be forged by heaven, it has virtually no flaws.

Lin Xingyu stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

"We can try to get that piece of metal from the teacher. I don't need it, but we can leave it for Chen Xi."

I've finished watching Battle Armor.

In addition, there are the several soul bones on his body. You should know that the two worst soul bones on Lin Xingyu's body are his leg soul bones, even though his leg soul bones have reached the level of 100,000 years.

"The best way to use these soul bones is to fuse them into the battle armor, but it would be a waste to fuse them directly into the battle armor now."

"From three-word battle armor to four-word battle armor, the metal will undergo a transformation."

"We can take this opportunity to fuse it in when upgrading our battle armor!"

After his refinement, if these soul bones were forged into armor, Lin Xingyu couldn't estimate the strength of the finished product, but even with simple polishing, it would definitely be no worse than any three-word battle armor.

It's important to know that three-word battle armor can be used up to level 98. Some relatively poor Limit Douluos even use three-word battle armor.

There's even a considerable possibility that, with careful modification, a few soul bones could be transformed into a complete set of four-word battle armor.

Lin Xingyu couldn't help but feel a little smug.

"When the two sets of equipment are fused together, even if they don't reach the level of a divine artifact, their strength will be significantly enhanced."

……

Before even reaching the living room, the sounds of clinking glasses and lively conversation could be heard from inside the room.

A deep, resonant old man's voice rang out.

"You must taste it carefully. This is dragon bone wine that I've been storing for ten years. If you hadn't mentioned it repeatedly before, I really wouldn't have been willing to take it out."

Then Zhenhua laughed heartily twice and exclaimed in loud admiration:
"Ten-thousand-year-old dragon bone wine is truly rare. If it weren't for Brother Han being the deputy tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, it would be impossible to obtain such a thing."

"This time... wait? Xingyu is here?"

Zhenhua waved to Lin Xingyu, then turned to the old man beside him and introduced him:

"Let me introduce you. This is Han Tianyi, the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda in Tiandou City. If you want to obtain high-level soul spirits in the future, you will probably need his help."

The old man simply sat there, exuding an air of authority, clearly the type who had long held a high position. He spoke:
"You flatter me. You can call me Senior Master or Deputy Tower Master if you prefer."

Lin Xingyu bowed and greeted him respectfully.

Zhenhua picked up a cup and, under Han Tianyi's distressed gaze, poured a full cup of dragon bone wine.

The wine is crystal clear, shimmering with a jade-like luster.

A rich aroma spreads out, blending with the vital energy of heaven and earth, and an intoxicating fragrance flows into the nasal cavity and penetrates the lungs.

"Try it, I think this is pretty good!"

Lin Xingyu took a sip, and the moment it entered his mouth, a fiery sensation came over him. After entering his stomach, it quickly transformed into abundant energy, flowing continuously to his limbs and bones.

Seeing Lin Xingyu drink the entire cup of Lu Longgu wine without changing his expression.

The old man exclaimed in admiration, "You do have a fine disciple; he has such cultivation at such a young age."

Zhenhua laughed twice, his face beaming with undisguised satisfaction.

"It's just a fluke!"

……

Watching the two chatting happily, Lin Xingyu was filled with many thoughts.

Han Tianyi is the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda. Her martial soul is the Brain, and her mental strength is probably at the peak of the Spirit Domain Realm. She is a level 99 Limit Douluo.

Even though the main power of the Spirit Pagoda is basically monopolized by the ancient families, his cultivation level is already enough to grant him considerable power within the Spirit Pagoda.

At least on issues that don't involve the main route, no one will oppose him.

Judging from their situation, Zhenhua probably made some kind of deal with Han Tianyi beforehand.
As for the acquaintance between Zhenhua and Hantianyi, depending on the situation, they still maintain a certain level of communication, which surprised Lin Xingyu in the slightest.

As the only master craftsman on the mainland, Zhenhua's connections are truly impressive.

As the two chatted about various topics, enjoying the delicious food that Mu Ye had carefully prepared, two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Han Tianyi also took her leave.

Lin Xingyu asked with some curiosity, "What brings him to see the teacher?"

Zhenhua chuckled, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "It's not that he came looking for me, but that I need his help with something."

After a moment's thought, Zhenhua explained, "Although various forces have the habit of trying their best to preserve their soul spirits, and some forces even have inherited soul spirits, most of the truly powerful soul spirits are in the Spirit Transmission Tower."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xingyu suddenly understood.

"I asked him to help me keep an eye out for suitable spirits in the Spirit Pagoda. You've just broken through to the Soul Saint level, and you still have some time before you become a Soul Douluo. Since you want to obtain a spirit for your next spirit ring, there are some things you should prepare for as soon as possible."

"Forget about those ferocious beasts for your eighth spirit ring, you absolutely must get a spirit beast with a sufficiently powerful bloodline!"

"This way, it won't be too difficult to upgrade the age of your spirit rings in the future."

Upon hearing Zhenhua's words, Lin Xingyu paused, not expecting that Zhenhua was already preparing for the future so early.

As for the cost incurred, Zhenhua didn't even mention it.

"Practice forging more next time. I'll give you some pointers when I have time."

……

For the next period of time, Lin Xingyu lived a very comfortable life.

During the day, I would learn forging from Zhenhua and deepen my understanding of soul forging under his guidance.

At night, he continued his unwavering cultivation practice.

His soul power broke through to level 73. With the boost from his previous achievement of the Golden Body, this breakthrough in soul power was not difficult and was quite fast, taking less than a week.

“Aruheng will cry.”

Looking at Lin Xingyu in front of him, Mu Ye hesitated for a long time before finally managing to utter this sentence.

Since Lin Xingyu came out of seclusion a few days ago and told me that he had gained some insights into the innate secret techniques of the Body Sect, he might be able to try cultivating them.

Makino just smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned.

What a joke! How could I, as the sect leader of the Body Sect, not know how difficult the innate secret techniques of the Body Sect are?

How could the successive sect leaders of the Body Sect not know?
I don't know how much effort was put into just this one technique.

It is unknown how many resources were consumed, and in the past thousand years, only Aruheng has been able to barely succeed in cultivating it.

Now you're telling me you've gained some insights, do you think I'll believe you?

To Mu Ye's utter surprise, he completed the first step of the Innate Secret Technique in just a few days.

And it was quite easy.

This made Mu Ye fall into deep thought. Could it be that he and all the ancestors of the Body Sect were useless?
No! How can you recognize that!
It must be because this kid is more suited to this innate secret technique than Aruheng, due to his personal constitution.

Lin Xingyu carefully studied the innate secret technique of the Body Sect, tried it out, and found that it was really not difficult for him.

In essence, the innate secret techniques are nothing more than using the power of heaven and earth to reshape one's body, allowing oneself to be in harmony with the power of heaven and earth.

The final stage is the innate, naturally nourished, flawless golden body, which can truly be called a celestial body. All variations ultimately stem from the same principle: the refinement of the physical body.

Lin Xingyu's previous pursuit in cultivating Qi and Blood Martial Arts was to continuously evolve his body and transform it into a more perfect state.

Upon reaching the Golden Body Realm, his body underwent a significant transformation. While experimenting with innate secret techniques, Lin Xingyu made some unexpected discoveries.

His martial arts of qi and blood seem to have achieved a certain degree of compatibility with innate secret techniques.

Both methods involve using the power of heaven and earth to reshape the body, and although the methods seem different, the final results are extremely similar.

Therefore, under this compatibility, Lin Xingyu mastered the innate secret techniques at a remarkably fast pace.

"Beep beep, beep beep."

He picked up the communication device hanging on his waist, saw a familiar number on the surface, and tapped it to confirm.

"Uncle Chen? Why are you contacting me all of a sudden? What happened?"

On the other end of the communication device, the old butler's somewhat hoarse voice rang out.

"Young Master, something happened to the Master yesterday."

Lin Xingyu suddenly stood up.

"what happened?"

"Yesterday, a typhoon passed through Donghai City, and some evil spirit masters took the opportunity to launch a terrorist attack. The master was injured in the attack."

"How's the injury?"

"With the help of several healing-type Soul Masters, his injuries have been somewhat stabilized, but the master is still unconscious. We don't know when he will wake up..."

Lin Xingyu took a few deep breaths and said, "I will take a few high-level healing-type Soul Masters back with me to stabilize his condition over there first."

After hanging up the communication device, Lin Xingyu went directly to Mu Ye and told him the truth about the current situation.

As for treatment, relying on his supernatural powers, when treating a small group of individuals, he is second to none.

If he can't cure it, then it's probably because he's been corrupted by an extremely high-level power. By the time he gets back, he'll probably be too old to be treated anymore.

It would be more practical to find a way to preserve people's souls.

After listening to Lin Xingyu's description, Mu Ye pondered for a moment and then said, "There's no need to take the Soul Guidance Train. I'll take you directly back to Donghai City to save time. If something really happens, it will be too late to regret it."

Lin Xingyu readily agreed, as it was indeed faster than Mu Ye carrying him.

The two packed their things quickly, leaving Chen Xi in Zhenhua's care for the time being.

Mu Ye took Lin Xingyu and flew directly into the sky from Tian Dou City towards the east.

He has flight privileges in Tiandou City.

The journey from Tiandou City to Donghai City by Soul Guidance Train takes more than a day. Mu Ye and Lin Xingyu only flew for an hour before they could see the tallest building in Donghai City, the Spirit Transmission Tower, in the distance.

Just then, Lin Xingyu felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of crisis between his brows, and his heart began to race instantly.

In an instant, Lin Xingyu realized what was going on.

On a whim.

The stronger a person is, the more acutely they sense and perceive crises that lie in the shadows.

In fact, the stronger a person is, the more confident they are in their own perception.

If you don't even trust your own feelings, what are you cultivating?
This was the first time Lin Xingyu had intuitively felt a sense of danger, and also the first time he had such a sudden urge to act.

However, considering that one of the most important abilities of the supernatural power he had just mastered, "Netherworld Heart," was to enhance his ability to sense danger.

And there's the example in the original work where Yun Ming clearly had a strong sense of crisis before being hit by two god-slaying fixed-position soul-guided cannons in Shrek City, but he didn't believe it.

Lin Xingyu felt that he should believe in this feeling.

"Teacher, I feel something is wrong." Lin Xingyu's voice rang in Mu Ye's ears. At the same time, he spread his mental energy around and carefully observed everything around him.

On the other hand, as mental energy is depleted, the supernatural power "Netherworld Heart" is activated.

A dark, luminous light appeared in his eyes as he carefully observed everything around him.

"Hmm?" Mu Ye's figure stopped in mid-air. After Lin Xingyu's reminder, a sense of crisis gradually arose in his heart.

As golden light swirled around him, a magnificent battle armor covered his entire body.

Now that we've sensed an impending crisis, we must prepare accordingly, or we won't even know how we died.

Lin Xingyu was also surrounded by streaks of crimson-gold light as a magnificent set of battle armor appeared on his body.

Its wings spread high to the sides.

"Watch out! They're here!" Makino whispered.

A gray streak appeared in the distant sky at some unknown time, and then it spread toward the two of them at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, they were already not far in front of the two.

A gray figure walked step by step towards the two in the air. Each step it took seemed slow, but in the blink of an eye, it covered a long distance and arrived not far in front of the two.

Looking at the handsome man in front of her, dressed in gray armor and a gray cloak, and feeling the deathly silence around her.

Makino slowly exhaled, "Hades Douluo Harosa! You're still alive."

As he spoke, his body suddenly expanded to over a hundred meters tall, and the huge mecha transformed into a long sword which he held in his hand.

Nine spirit rings—five black and four red—pulsed rhythmically around him. The seventh spirit ring lit up, and Mu Ye instantly entered his Martial Soul True Body form.

Golden light shone in all directions, colliding and annihilating with the gray light time and time again.

In the blink of an eye, the golden light released by Makino was compressed back.

"Who else? Come out now." Sensing a lingering sense of danger in the shadows, Makino continued.

"You're quite cautious!" came a cold voice.

A ripple appeared in the space not far away, and a figure with a rather slender figure could be seen even though she was wearing black armor all over.

A black crown adorned her head, upon which a lifelike black phoenix draped, its magnificent wings spreading out to either side.

He always held a spindle-shaped crystal in his hand.

Upon seeing the newly appeared people, Makino's heart sank. "Anyone else? Come out, all of you."

Harosa said calmly, "Only the two of us came, junior. That's enough."

Upon hearing Harosa's words, Makino finally breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

Fortunately, only two people came; if there had been more, he might not have been able to handle it.

"You go first, I'll hold them off for a moment."

Upon hearing Mu Ye's words, Lin Xingyu did not hesitate at all and immediately abandoned Donghai City, which was not far away, and flew in another direction.

His fifth spirit ring lit up, and he instantly entered a semi-elemental state.

Finally, he dashed away into the distance like lightning, the astonishing speed he unleashed in that instant leaving everyone present stunned.

Harosa didn't give chase, but instead looked at Leng Yulai beside him and said quite calmly, "Go and take care of him!"

Leng Yulai nodded, spread her wings, and chased after Lin Xingyu in the direction he had left.

Makino did not stop him either, as he could clearly sense the aura emanating from the Dark Phoenix.

A level 97 Super Douluo is very strong, but the distance between here and Tianhai City is not far. At Lin Xingyu's speed, it won't be long before he arrives at Tianhai City.

In addition to the equipment Zhenhua had prepared for Lin Xingyu and his own strength, as long as he could hold off Halosa for a moment, no one would threaten his life.

Tianhai City is not only a very important port city, but also home to one of the Federation Navy Legions!

The most important thing right now is the guy in front of me.

With this in mind, Mu Ye held nothing back, his aura soaring into the heavens and earth.

"Level ninety-nine? That's quite impressive for your age," Harosa said with some admiration.
