Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 278 The Conditions for the Battle Armor; The Unexpected Host

"Is there really no side effect to a leap of twenty levels?" an inner court disciple couldn't help but ask.

“No, really…” Xiao Hongchen shrugged: “Actually, I don’t believe in superstition either. I’ve personally worn a half-finished one, but it’s more like a soul power ‘amplifier.’ Any soul skill can be amplified several times, or even dozens of times, through the battle armor, without causing any harm to myself.”

"Incredible!" Beibei exclaimed.

Su Wen remained silent.

Is the current battle armor technology already comparable to that of ten thousand years from now? No, it isn't.

After all, the technology of battle armor has become so mature and widespread ten thousand years later that it can be said to be commonplace, and the cost of manufacturing it has been driven down to an extremely low level.

But not now.

Each battle armor is made up for by extremely high production costs. If the technology is not good enough, then the materials are used. What Su Wen has the least shortage of now is the metal mines on the continent. All kinds of rare resources are available, even comparable to the metal reserves of mankind ten thousand years later.

Therefore, it can barely be rolled up...

There's no other way but to burn money. If the goal is to create the most elite Shrek Supervisory Group members, it's already quite an achievement to be able to do so by burning money.

"Of course, you also need to learn some forging techniques. This is essential. Although I don't expect you to be able to participate in the entire forging process, you must at least have some of the skills to build a bond with your own battle armor... well, a bond." Xiao Hongchen answered every question. Compared to his aloofness in the Sun Moon Empire, he lowered his guard in Shrek Academy. After all, the three of them, grandfather, grandfather, and grandson, were all rebel generals, and they still needed to build trust step by step.

"The forging department is really going to soar to new heights..." a male student exclaimed.

"More than that..."

"One of the most popular majors in the future. At this rate, even the Martial Soul Department may not be able to compete. I should consider studying the Forging Department for a while."

Then the wind direction began to change.

A series of eager calls of "Young Master!" rang out from the Dean beside Su Wen. Looking at the group of burly men who had suddenly surrounded him, Su Wen chuckled, "Each member of the inspection team will be equipped with a battle armor. Once the technology is mature, we will gradually equip you with them, but there are conditions..."

"Wow!!!" Everyone cheered.

"But don't get too excited yet," Su Wen said with a smile. "The graduation requirement for the inspection team will change from completing thirty missions to serving ten years."

"Ten years from now, you can choose to stay or leave, but you cannot take the battle armor with you, not even if you buy it."

Su Wen said with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Some disciples looked hesitant, while others beamed with joy.

Those disciples who chose to stay at Shrek Academy were naturally overjoyed, while those like Dai Yueheng, who chose to leave the academy after graduation, hesitated, secretly calculating their options.

"Ding~~~"

A light, cheerful sound of silver bells rang out throughout the inner courtyard.

"Time's up!" Beibei straightened her clothes and smiled.

Xu Sanshi also revealed his longing for love. Although he was a simp, he had given up harassing Jiang Nannan in recent years and instead focused on cultivating diligently. Now he had finally advanced to the level 54 Soul King. He no longer dared to ask for his former goddess Jiang Nannan, but he hoped to at least have a beautiful woman.

"Everyone, I'll be going now." Beibei grinned.

"Sigh, who's hosting tonight?" Su Wen asked in surprise. He realized that the hosts in the original story were Bei Bei and Zhang Lexuan. So who will they be in this life?

"Hehe..." Beibei chuckled and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

"What the heck is 'hehe'?" Su Wen's lips twitched.

A crowd gradually gathered around Poseidon Island, mostly arriving in twos and threes. They were all wearing red and white school uniforms, and many of them were momentarily stunned when they saw Su Wen. It wasn't until someone next to them reminded them that they realized this young Grand Secretary was even younger than them...

There was no way around it; the rigorous training they received daily, and the sheer authority of the names Su and Wen, made them unconsciously associate them with figures like Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi, even though the latter held a higher position in the inner academy than either of them.

But back to reality, he never expected that he would also have to participate in the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event. However, when Su Wen squinted and scanned the crowd, the disciples hummed little tunes and inadvertently shifted their gazes. Playing around is fine, but they couldn't joke about the young Grand Secretary.

However, some disciples looked worried and distressed.

With Su Wen as a trump card, he's bound to attract all the girls' attention. This guy is practically every boy's biggest enemy...

Night falls.

The lake was pitch black, and it was difficult to see anything with the naked eye.

Su Wen used his spiritual power to detect a large ship approaching from afar, slowly cutting through the water. A group of elders stood at the bow, all wearing gloating expressions, especially Xuanzi, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, clutching a gourd, and smacking his lips as he searched for Su Wen's location...

The large ship slowly came to a stop.

And the next moment.

Thirty-seven pillars of light illuminated the sea, representing the number of girls. At the same time, women dressed in long white dresses stood gracefully on the water lilies.

"Wow……"

On the shore, many boys stared wide-eyed and started to jeer.

Bathed in the golden light, the girls looked like celestial fairies. Although they wore white hats that obscured their faces, as disciples of the inner academy, they all had excellent figures, with very few being overweight or bloated.

The same applies to boys, of course...

Su Wen glanced at Xie Huanyue beside him, who was humming and swallowing another bun. There were still a few exceptions.

at the same time.

Two other beams of light illuminated.

On the left is Yan Shaozhe, dressed in a white robe, while on the right is Cai Meier, wearing a pale yellow dress.

The appearance of the two caused a gasp of surprise.

“I shouldn’t have been here…” Yan Shaozhe said with a gentle smile, his voice carrying easily across the entire lake even without a megaphone.

"But unfortunately, you are all too eager for love. Even the two original hosts joined this Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event because of love. So I had no choice but to step in and relive the path of the past." Yan Shaozhe sighed and took Cai Meier's hand beside him.

"Back then, I also got engaged to Mr. Cai at the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event."

"Wow~"

The scene erupted in cheers.

Clearly, everyone was quite excited to get inside information about their teachers and even the dean.

A blush and shyness flashed across Cai Meier's beautiful face. Although she was over a hundred years old, the ability of a titled Douluo to preserve her youth was terrifying. She looked no different from a beautiful woman in her forties.

"In that case, the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event shall officially begin!"

Yan Shaozhe grinned.

Seeing that he had successfully ignited the atmosphere, he was quite proud.

Letting him host this matchmaking event is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but who can blame him when this year's event has some truly exceptional individuals? The Silver Dragon King, a mythical beast, the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department…

If a fight breaks out, the inner courtyard will be turned upside down.

Therefore, after much deliberation, the Sea God Pavilion concluded that Yan Shaozhe was most likely the only one who could control the situation...
