Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 148 Xu Xiaoyan, Level Up!
"Not two words."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue was stunned.

What do you mean?
Su Qiu said seriously, "I plan to go all out and create a set of three-word battle armor."

Gu Yue: "?"

She wondered if she had misheard, and couldn't help but ask again, "Say it again?"

Su Qiu repeated solemnly, "Three-word battle armor. Get it right the first time, saves trouble later."

The carriage fell silent instantly, and even Xie Xie forgot to interrupt.

Tang Wulin opened his mouth, but after a long while, he managed to utter, "You're only a Soul King now."

Su Qiu shrugged: "So what if I'm a Soul King? A three-word battle armor isn't based on soul power level."

Gu Yue's head was already starting to ache.

She took a deep breath, trying to stay calm: "Let's not even talk about whether I can design it or not, can you even do Soul Forging?"

"No. But I have a feeling that my forging skills will break through soon."

Gu Yue: "..."

She stared at Su Qiu for a few seconds, and suddenly had an urge to throw him out of the car window.

“Hey, don’t doubt it,” Su Qiu said confidently. “I’ve always relied on my intuition when it comes to forging.”

"Based on intuition?" Gu Yue's voice suddenly rose.

Na'er, standing to the side, blinked, looking on with a mixture of confusion and awe.

"Even so, I still cannot design a three-word battle armor. You should find someone else more capable."

Gu Yue glared at Su Qiu with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

"No, I want the one you designed. I love the battle armor you designed."

Su Qiu hit a straight shot!
Silver Dragon King! Let me see the limits of your astonishing wisdom!

The two stared at each other for a long time, and Gu Yue turned her head away with a slight blush on her cheeks.

“If you don’t mind, I can design it for you according to the standard of a two-word battle armor. Then, in terms of materials and structure, I can leave room for you to upgrade to a three-word battle armor.”

"I'll help you refine it once I can design a three-word battle armor."

"That would be perfect, it's a deal."

Na'er, unable to join the conversation, was furious.

By the way, is it too late for her to study mecha design now?
Tian Ding City finally drew near amidst the roar of the train.

Su Qiu instructed the group, "Don't move around here. I'm taking Xu Xiaoyan to level up."

Xu Xiaoyan followed behind Su Qiu with some curiosity: "Brother Su Qiu, can that observatory you mentioned really help me?"

"It's covered."

After a friendly "exchange," the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy warmly opened the Star Gazing Platform for Xu Xiaoyan.

Xu Xiaoyan stood in the center of the observatory.

"Are you ready?" the old Soul Master in charge of activating the observatory asked softly.

Xu Xiaoyan took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "Mmm!"

The teacher raised his hand, channeling his soul power into the soul guidance array.

In an instant, the night sky above the observatory seemed to be ignited, and countless starlight poured down from the dome, like an inverted galaxy, slowly flowing into Xu Xiaoyan's body.

"Is this the power of stars?" Xu Xiaoyan felt a gentle yet powerful force surging from her limbs into her spiritual world.

Her martial spirit—the Star Wheel Ice Staff—slowly emerged behind her under the stimulation of star power, with tiny star rings appearing around the staff.

"Concentrate your mind, guide the star power, and do not resist." Su Qiu's voice came from the side.

He did not stand in the star array, but guarded the edge, his spiritual power quietly spreading out, guiding the power descending from the stars and merging it into Xu Xiaoyan's body.

Xu Xiaoyan closed her eyes and tried her best to "embrace" the star power, following Su Qiu's guidance.

The power of the stars flowed through her spiritual world, gradually washing over her spiritual sea.

The originally somewhat immature spiritual power became more solid and pure under the polishing of the star power.

The Star Wheel Ice Staff, a martial soul, is also undergoing a transformation.

It transformed into a true star staff.

Her martial spirit has been perfected and will no longer be limited.

"This child's affinity with the stars is even greater than I expected," the teacher couldn't help but exclaim.

Su Qiu smiled slightly: "She is already very outstanding." With his current strength, among all his partners, only Xu Xiaoyan's absolute certainty can help him.

Thinking of this, Su Qiu took out a piece of external soul bone.

Dark Gold Terror Claw.

It was originally intended to be used to recruit geniuses, but it's no longer needed.

All the first-graders are focused on their studies.

Yuan Enhui, a second-year student, was also destined to stand on his side. Yue Zhengyu was his nephew.

Qian Wu, who is in third grade, has even less need for it. Giving him the Dark Gold Terrorclaw would be a complete waste; it's not as good as his own Behemoth's claws.

Gu Yue Na'er has no use for soul bones.

Let's use it to enhance Xu Xiaoyan's ability to survive.

A dark golden light flowed in Su Qiu's hand. He took a deep breath and gently placed the soul bone into Xu Xiaoyan's hand with a flick of his wrist.

"What is this?" Xu Xiaoyan remembered this bone; it was the dark gold dinosaur claw that had fallen from the Spirit Ascension Platform.

"Merge." Su Qiu's voice rang in her ear.

Xu Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously tried to push the soul bone back: "This is too precious, I can't accept it."

Su Qiu pressed her hand down, stopping her from moving.

His voice was not loud: "This is not something I gave you as charity; it is something I asked you to accept."

Xu Xiaoyan stared at him blankly.

“You’re the one in our team who’s most easily overlooked,” Su Qiu said slowly. “In every battle, you always hide in the back, in the safest corner.”

"I always treat myself as the least important one."

Su Qiu's voice was calm, yet it struck Xu Xiaoyan's heart like a heavy hammer.

She instinctively retorted, "I'm just a support player; I'm supposed to be in the back."

“You’ve misunderstood.” Su Qiu shook her head. “I’m not complaining about you.”

Xu Xiaoyan was stunned.

"Actually, I'm happy if you keep doing this. You can safely hide behind me."

"But what happens when I'm not around?"

Su Qiu's voice was soft, yet it was like a warm current, slowly seeping into Xu Xiaoyan's heart: "Therefore, I need you to become stronger."

"So strong that you can protect yourself even without me around."

"This dark gold dinosaur claw is my 'confidence' for you."

Xu Xiaoyan felt a lump in her throat, her eyes gradually reddening, and she whispered, "This is too unfair. How can I refuse?"

She looked down at the dark gold dinosaur claw in her hand, then looked up at Su Qiu, her gaze gradually shifting from hesitation to determination.

Nourished by the star power, she began to fuse with the soul bone.

The star power flowed slowly within her body, gradually enveloping and cleansing the dark gold claw.

Then, little by little, it fits into her bones, meridians, and flesh.

Time passed little by little.

The Milky Way above the observatory gradually stabilized.

Finally, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Soul Bone completely fused with Xu Xiaoyan.

Dark gold lines appeared on the back of her hand.

Xu Xiaoyan slowly opened her eyes, her expression filled with an unprecedented determination.

She raised her hand, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes!
Dark gold claws instantly extended out, their tips gleaming with a chilling light.

Su Qiu stepped forward and curiously poked the paw: "How does it feel?"

"feels good."

Xu Xiaoyan clenched her fist, and the dark gold claw slowly retracted.

She looked at Su Qiu firmly: "I will try my best."

Xu Xiaoyan, level up!
Soft support becomes hard support!
　My buddy's diary: My good friend encountered a situation similar to mine. It's hilarious; his bank card limit is even higher than mine. Only 6,000 yuan per year.

　　He's been working for six months since graduation, and his entire salary has been deposited into this account. He can't withdraw it due to the limit, and it won't be lifted until next year. This is partly due to being forced to save money.
