Douluo Continent: My plan to slay the gods has been exposed!

Chapter 90 The New Soul Armor

Have you talked to your teacher about this?

Ning Rongrong put away her notebook and stared at Hu Liena with serious eyes as she spoke, word by word.

"without"

Hu Liena's eyes darted around, avoiding his unusually serious gaze: "You know, the teacher has been in a deep sleep for a while, and I thought he might just have hit a bottleneck, and that he would be fine as long as he practiced hard."

"So, this important matter has been delayed for so long?"

Ning Rongrong looked at her speechlessly, shook her head, and said helplessly, "There are already good examples around us. Xie Yue and Yan haven't encountered any bottlenecks. Why is it that you, with even better talent than them, are facing this kind of situation?"

"What's even more infuriating is that you've been keeping it a secret."

"Stupid, foolish, utterly idiotic!"

This problem, at its worst, might just be a problem with the cultivation method; at its worst, it could be a precursor to demonic possession, and it cannot be taken lightly!

If the absorption of soul power is blocked, it is most likely due to a problem with the adaptability of the meditation method. In a small part, it may be caused by the martial soul. However, if you continue to force cultivation, the most likely result will be damage to the meridians, and your soul power will not be able to advance any further, and you will become a cripple.

Ning Rongrong frowned and pondered: "I need to prepare some things tonight. We're leaving tomorrow, so I don't have much time to check on your health. Don't cultivate today. Take advantage of the time your teacher has now and go ask her."

Seeing Hu Liena's timid expression, Ning Rongrong's pretty face turned cold, and she immediately raised her voice: "It's not a big problem now, but if you really go astray and ruin yourself, it will still make the teacher sad. You can decide for yourself which is more important."

"Okay, fine."

Hu Liena stuck out her tongue, looked at the anger on Ning Rongrong's face, and could only get out of bed dejectedly and run out of the laboratory.

"Rongrong, I'll come play with you again when I'm better!"

What kind of nonsense is this? They're all so unreliable.

Ning Rongrong habitually rubbed her temples, the worry in her eyes slowly fading away. Unconsciously, she flipped through her notebook again, thought for a moment, and added another research direction after the Soul Armor Prosthetics.

[The operating rules of the soul power meridians, the symptoms of incorrect cultivation, and their hidden dangers].

"Mastering the flow of soul power within the meridians might provide constructive insights for future research on soul armor."

"The nervous system aspect is still a blank slate, but that doesn't matter. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once the Mercenary Association is established and tasks are assigned to study the bodies of some special soul beasts, progress might be rapid."

"But perhaps I should find some more people to join us; if it's just about soul tools, the direction is too one-dimensional."

The girl touched her scalp, then opened her palms, looking at the few slightly dry strands of hair that fluttered down in the sunlight. Her pretty face carried a sorrow and worry that did not belong to her age.

"This is really impressive. Is this what they call Soul Armor?"

"My God, this thing is amazing!"

"Wow! I feel like I'm about to fly!"

"The armor on my back can absorb and store soul power! With just a little effort, my body feels like it's flying. This speed is in no way inferior to the acceleration skills of a typical second or third ring!"

The morning sun shone on the square, illuminating those clad in heavy armor, eliciting a burst of cheers and shouts.

However, compared to the two or three new recruits who hurriedly put on the armor and couldn't wait to experience the legendary "Soul Armor" effect, the veteran standing to the side watched silently, familiarizing himself with the Soul Armor inside and out, and finally tentatively and slowly injecting his soul power into the armor.

"Compared to before, the size has decreased considerably."

The woman, with her wheat-brown skin and light purple, slightly wavy hair, smiled as she spoke. Her tight-fitting combat uniform perfectly outlined her beautiful curves, and her face was three-dimensional and delicate. Unfortunately, a scar running from bottom to top above her right eye completely ruined the gentle temperament on her face, but it also showed a bit of determination and might.

Compared to the previous initial version, the newly produced Soul Armor is not only much smaller in size, but also much lighter, at least it does not hinder normal movement much.

Even the soul armor in front of him didn't need the help of attendants to put it on. He only needed to lift it up and put it on his body, and the various parts of the armor would automatically adhere to his body and lock together tightly like interlocking rings. Without special techniques, even he himself would find it difficult to remove, so there was no need to worry about it falling off during battle.

"Click—click—click—"

With each click of the buttons, the arm guards, helmet, breastplate, skirt, and all the other parts were attached to her body. Soul power seeped out from her body, and with just a slight clench of her fist, surging power continuously emerged in her hand. She turned around and unleashed a series of offensive moves, which looked fierce and concise, yet agile.

"interesting."

Although the power increase is slightly less than that of the original, the flexibility of the joints and even the entire body has more than doubled. It can be said that the current Soul Armor is truly suitable for combat.

The purple-haired woman's lips curled slightly, revealing a hint of barely perceptible pleasure on her face.

"As expected of Katoga-senpai, she adapted in the blink of an eye."

Having watched the woman's actions from beginning to end, the smiling young man imitated her in a very convincing manner, putting on the much smaller soul armor. His soul power surged from his dantian and slowly transmitted to the area behind him.

"So the soul power storage that the young lady mentioned is located on her back? How convenient!"

"This kind of work looks exhausting, doesn't it? The young lady has looked quite haggard lately, and that damn sausage boy too."

With a squinting smile, Ning Xing carefully slipped the new version of the Soul Armor onto his body. Only after most of the Soul Power in his dantian had disappeared did Ning Xing realize that the place on his back where Soul Power was stored had been filled.

The Soul Armor itself is much lighter, and one can travel normally without relying on soul power with one's own physical strength. With a little soul power consumption, the body becomes as light as a swallow, and one can jump more than ten meters in a single step. One punch is enough to release the destructive power of a second-ring Battle Soul Master.

"Great, even as a support-type character, I can kill those trash with one punch."

Ning Xing subconsciously raised his hand forward, only to be locked onto by a cold gaze.

"I'm sorry, Kato-senpai."

The young man smiled and lowered his hands, clasped his palms together, pushed the long, narrow, dark tube under his palms back into his wrist armor, and then raised his hands to indicate surrender.

"I did not do it on purpose."

Once that cold gaze shifted away, he looked to the side and whispered to his taciturn companion, "Old Cai, I think I'm being targeted. What do you think we should do?"

"Don't cause trouble. Nobody's targeting you."

The companion standing to the side, clad in soul armor and holding a large shield, remained silent for a moment before slowly uttering a sentence.
