Chapter 478 The New Association (Please Subscribe!!!)
The mirror reflects the silent world.

Su Ming's question was far too far-fetched.

He opened his mouth, about to explain to Su Ming how difficult it was to make battle armor, when suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind. His eyes flickered, but before he could speak, he asked instead, "You created the battle armor system, and you are aware of the prerequisites for its production. Have you now developed some technology that is suitable for dissemination?"

Battle armor was originally created by Su Ming. Its essence is to draw upon the spirituality within the metal, activate its spiritual properties, and thus directly amplify the Soul Master's Martial Soul, achieving an improvement in its very nature.

Su Ming was a practitioner of three secondary professions, so he naturally understood these principles.

He knew what Jing Hongchen was wondering about, so he waved his hand and said, "The technology of battle armor is just like this. There's nothing I can improve. What I mean is to transform the spiritual array into a fixed array. Even if it can't unleash its full power, it can still become a true battle armor after being transformed into a spiritual array."

Seeing that Jing Hongchen was still somewhat puzzled, Su Ming said directly: "You design the magic arrays, and let ordinary soul masters make them. Just use the traditional soul tool making methods. Directly cancel the anti-peeping technology so that the fused battle armor master can perceive all the magic arrays. After the other party fuses the entire battle armor, he can communicate with the metal and slowly guide the spirituality within it to be engraved into the corresponding magic arrays."

Su Ming explained the whole process, and Jing Hongchen was overjoyed, but then frowned.

He looked at Su Ming, his eyes flickering.

What does it mean?
Open source?
Mingdetang has spent so much time and effort researching, and Su Ming actually has an attitude of wanting to make all these achievements public.

Absolutely! Removing the anti-peeping technology exposes all the core magic arrays, making them visible to everyone. Isn't that just making things public?
Jing Hongchen instinctively refused, but considering that the source of these technologies was in Su Ming's hands, and especially since the most important spiritual metal was provided by the Blacksmith Association, she began to seriously consider it.

Of course, there are disciples of Mingde Hall within the Blacksmith Association who have mastered the Thousand Forging with Spirit, but most of them have only reached the Thousand Forging with Spirit. Although later techniques such as Spirit Forging and Soul Forging are open, very few blacksmiths can truly master them.

So far, the number of Spirit Forging Masters has indeed increased, reaching double digits.

But this is the total number across the entire continent. When broken down by faction, even if Mingde Hall has a high percentage, there are only two Spirit Forging Masters.

To ensure a high success rate, the two master forging experts received a supply of rare and precious materials from Mingde Hall after each forging session. They had an ample supply of rare metals, and getting a piece of forging metal every three days was considered good luck.

At a rate of one piece of spirit-forged metal every five days, that's only six pieces a month.

The success rates of other Spirit Forging Masters are roughly the same so far.

The fact that Mingde Hall was able to make such progress in the research of two-word battle armor and even the subsequent three-word battle armor is of course inseparable from the various levels of spirit metals provided by the Su family, and the Su family is represented by Su Ming.

Therefore, the fact that Mingdetang was able to develop these technologies so quickly is all thanks to Su Ming. If it were really necessary to hand over the technology, Jing Hongchen would still be able to accept it.

Fully open
Jing Hongchen frowned and relaxed repeatedly, struggling with his thoughts, before finally letting out a slow breath.

What's there to be conflicted about!
With this R&D capability, even if all the technology is handed over, Mingdetang will not have to worry about falling behind the times in the future.

Moreover, the experience gained during this research and development process is the key.

The refinement of the design concept for the subsequent three-word battle armor, and even the design concept for the core magic array of the four-word battle armor, will inevitably be achieved first by Mingdetang.

"Since you want to open up the technology of the battle armor, my Mingde Hall will certainly support you. After all, you created these technologies in the first place."

Su Ming looked puzzled.

Is this what the old guy has been thinking about for so long?

"It's good that you can do it. Of course, the technology is not open to the public, but I need to train a group of Battle Armor Masters in a short period of time, so I need to use this expedient measure."

Jing Hongchen was stunned upon hearing this.

Then, he let out a sigh of relief.

He certainly wouldn't want to hand over this technology if he could avoid it.

"As for who this batch of battle armor is designed and made for, I haven't decided yet. You just need to train the regular soul masters in Mingde Hall and let them learn the system of the core magic array of the battle armor." "Okay."

"By the way, although the technology is not passed on to outsiders, battle armor is bound to be the future development direction of the Soul Master world. I hope that the strength of the Soul Master world can make a leap forward in the future, so there still needs to be a gap in the technology of battle armor."

Su Ming looked at Jing Hongchen and spoke earnestly.

Since this old guy has already figured it out, why not just tell him some of your thoughts now?

Jing Hongchen listened attentively.

Su Ming said, “Mingde Hall is an institution that researches soul tools, but in the future, battle armor will obviously be the most important. Ordinary soul tools will no longer have an advantage over soul tools made of spirit metal. Therefore, Mingde Hall may wish to focus on the latter. In my opinion, the most outstanding form of the latter is battle armor, followed by mecha.”

Mecha?

Jing Hongchen had some doubts, and Su Ming helped him resolve them.

According to Su Ming, mechs are defined as more versatile battle armor, sacrificing flexibility for greater power and reducing the consumption of spirit metals.

The massive mechs actually consume less spirit metal than battle armor of the same level.

Jing Hongchen nodded slowly.

"The Forging Masters Association is an association for the forging industry. I would like Mingdetang to support a mecha association and a battle armor association."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen fell silent.

Is this a move to split up Mingdetang?
Perhaps because he had been in that position for so long, he subconsciously started thinking about issues of power.

"it is good."

He complied.

"If we want to establish these two associations, we can do so on the outskirts of the Mingdou Mountains. Once the location is chosen, we can negotiate with the Body Sect."

After Su Ming finished speaking, he left Mingde Hall.

After leaving Mingde Hall, he went to the Imperial City and entered the royal palace.

Xu Tianran was shocked to learn that Su Ming was coming, and immediately brought Kong Deming to greet him.

In the current mainland, in terms of strength, Su Ming and Du Busi are absolutely top-tier.

The two were still master and apprentice.

This has led to an extreme imbalance in military strength on the mainland!

However, the Body Sect is currently maintaining a completely neutral stance, and no force dares to slight them.

Although Kong Deming researched spirit metals, upgraded his natal soul tool to level ten, and broke through the limits of soul power to reach the level of Super Douluo, claiming to have ultimate combat power, he never said that he had the strength to contend with Su Ming and Du Busi.

Mu En was one thing, he died from his own serious injuries, but Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui were genuine Limit Douluo, with extraordinary strength, yet they were still killed by the master and disciple duo.

After carefully considering his words, Xu Tianran, still in his wheelchair, cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask what brings Sect Leader Su here?"
