Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 135 Seven-Ring Soul Saint Dream of the Mortal World (Equipped with One-Word Battle Armor)

"Purple Princess, do you see any problems with the combat boots I designed?"

The Silver Dragon King slowly sat down on the silver futon, his arm propped against the waterbed, his posture slightly languid, his slender fingers lightly tracing a curtain of water.

Zi Ji looked at her own purplish-black armor and thought carefully for a few seconds.

It was confirmed that the object drawn by the lord was not the same type as the armor she was wearing.

She raised her eyes and looked at the pattern on the water curtain that the master called war boots, then secretly glanced at the white, jade-like bare feet of the woman in the silver skirt.

Although Zi Ji knew it had nothing to do with the armor she was wearing, she still followed up with a tentative inquiry.

"My lord, do you intend to, like your subordinate, specifically transform a portion of your dragon scales into armor when in human form?"

The purplish-black armor worn by Murasaki is actually a set of scales that she voluntarily transformed into when she was in human form, using some of the dragon scales of her original form, the Hell Demon Dragon King, to increase the dragon's resistance.

However, she didn't make any specific plans for this, such as which parts of her body's dragon scales should transform into which type of scale armor. She simply relied on her intuition and made sure they fit her human form.

The Silver Dragon King pondered for a moment, then gently shook his head: "It's not as you understand it, using its own dragon scales to transform at will... You should know that the auspicious beasts have transformed and gone to play in the human world, right?"

Zi Ji nodded: "Yes, I've heard Di Tian mention it."

Immediately, the Silver Dragon King casually came up with an explanation and briefly told Zi Ji about it.

Through the perspective of the auspicious beast in the human world, a wisp of her divine soul discovered that some of humanity's technologies were highly advanced, and what she outlined was a process within a technology called Battle Armor.

"My lord, are you saying that if Rachel were to cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo in the human world and don a full set of battle armor, her combat power would be no less than that of Di Tian?"

After listening to the Silver Dragon King's explanation, Zi Ji's eyes widened slightly. She was stunned for a long time before a few expressions appeared in her eyes—shock, disbelief, and doubt.

The Silver Dragon King glanced at her and casually added, "The ultimate attributes of auspicious beasts are equally formidable."

She told Zi Ji about Di Ruiqiu's ultimate fire and how it absorbed some of the Fire Dragon King's dragon soul energy.

It is said to be Di Ruiqiu's bloodline, and it is possible that as her cultivation level in the human world increases, the dragon bloodline within the auspicious beast will be enhanced.

"My lord, regarding the auspicious beast's influence on the fate of the soul beast race, I am naturally happy that she has become stronger, but what about human technology?"

An incredulous expression appeared on Murasaki's face.

"My lord, while the human race certainly has great potential, they do not yet possess such exaggerated technology... Di Tian has also witnessed the world-renowned Holy Dragon of Light, Mu En, from Shrek Academy."

"They said if he and Moon both went all out, Moon wouldn't be as good as him."

Zi Ji said that if such technology really existed, Mu En had no reason not to wear it. Moreover, given Shrek Academy's reckless nature, with such a terrifying increase in strength, he would at least show off his power in front of Di Tian.

"Oh..." The Silver Dragon King stared at Zi Ji for a few seconds, his eyes calm and unfazed. "I learned this from the auspicious beast. This technological research is still in the preliminary conceptual stage."

Feeling the gaze from her lord, Zi Ji naturally wouldn't be so tactless as to continue arguing about the matter. She continued to look at the pattern of the war boots in the water curtain, her gaze moving to the area below the knees of the woman in the silver dress.

She said earnestly, "My lord, it's fine if you're used to going barefoot. For us dragons, our bodies are the most perfect weapons. No shoes can withstand your powerful strength that can tear space apart."

The Silver Dragon King tucked her bare white feet under her skirt, her gaze drifting slightly. This action added a rare touch of girlish shyness to her otherwise noble and aloof demeanor.

She waved her hand dismissively. "Alright, I know how to improve. Zi Ji, you may leave."

She can indeed shatter space with a single kick now, but she's not that powerful after transforming into human form. As her cultivation level increases, she wears battle armor with more characters.

The Silver Dragon King couldn't very well tell Zi Ji that it was prepared for her after she transformed into human form.

……

In Mingde Hall, Huo Yuhao spent his days forging battle armor with Meng Hongchen and his evenings listening to Di Ruiqiu report on the progress of the Silver Dragon King's battle armor design... And so, his fulfilling holiday came to an end.

During the two-month vacation, Sun and Moon spent the first month visiting the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and the second month, apart from running a barbecue restaurant and meeting Wang Dongxiaoxiao who was on vacation in Sun and Moon, and the few days spent absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame, the remaining twenty-odd days were spent forging battle armor.

The complete set of One-Word Battle Armor consists of eleven parts. Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen finally completed the production of the complete set of One-Word Battle Armor the day before the start of the school term.

In Huo Yuhao's living room, Di Rachel sipped an iced drink she'd found in Meng Hongchen's pocket and asked with interest, "Gu Yi, you've been managing the barbecue restaurant for almost a month now. Have you found out anything useful about the evil soul masters?"

Meng Hongchen leaned forward, a straw dangling from her lips, clearly interested in the topic as well.

Ye Guyi tossed her light golden hair, as if she had really found out some big news: "Just yesterday, I heard a man in black robes in the shop say that he has recently recruited a lot of underlings and has also gained a few powerful corpse slaves."

"I'm preparing to buy a large batch of soul-guided cannonballs on the black market. Taking advantage of the Soul Master Competition being held in Star Luo City, I'll go to the other side of the Mingdu Mountains and pull off a big heist. I'm even muttering something about how my great fortune is about to arrive..."

Meng Hongchen thought for a moment: "It seems that Grandpa said that we will be passing through the Mingdu Mountains on our way to participate in the competition."

Ye Guyi's eyes brightened slightly: "That's good. Although the Hall Master said before that it was best for me not to participate in the competition, the Hall Master will take me with him to watch the battle."

She clenched her small fists, seemingly already thinking about how to eliminate the Grim Reaper.

Di Rachel knew about the Grim Reaper from the light sphere, but Ye Guyi in the light sphere had no connection with the other party. She thought for a moment: "Guyi, that so-called Grim Reaper is someone who can make even Shrek's inspection team suffer a great loss."

Ye Guyi patted her chest. "It's alright. When it comes to eliminating evil spirit masters, Shrek Academy's inspection team isn't as professional as me!"

At that moment, the metal door to the laboratory opened.

Huo Yuhao and Jing Hongchen walked out from inside, with Jing Hongchen carrying a rather large forging hammer in his hand.

Neither Meng Hongchen nor Huo Yuhao told Jing Hongchen about forging the battle armor. Jing Hongchen only knew that Huo Yuhao had mastered the Thousand Refined Metal, so she was eager to learn how to refine it.

Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly: "Hall Master, have you really mastered the Thousand Forging Technique?"

He has been teaching Jing Hongchen the Thousand Refinements and Purification Techniques for almost half a month, but the other party does not seem to have the amazing talent for forging as he does for soul tools. He often smashes the metal flat with a single hammer blow.

However, things have improved in the last two days, and I can now complete several hundred-fold refining processes. With Huo Yuhao's slight assistance, I can also successfully complete the thousand-fold refining of metal.

Jing Hongchen took out an irregular piece of thousand-refined metal and chuckled, "Yuhao, I'm quite satisfied with the current situation. At this rate, I'll be able to master thousand-refined metal after this competition ends."

Huo Yuhao readily replied, "That's true. With the Hall Master's vast technical expertise in the field of soul tools, as long as the forging force is well controlled, it's not particularly difficult to master."

Jing Hongchen smiled proudly, seemingly full of confidence in his talent. "Don't worry, Yuhao. Whenever I have free time, I will study forging. With my talent in the field of soul tools, I believe forging will be a piece of cake."

"Yes, it's good that the sect leader has this kind of confidence."

Jing Hongchen felt incredibly relieved. He strode into the living room and said kindly to Meng Hongchen:

"Meng, come here for a second, Grandpa is taking you and Yuhao somewhere."

"Yes, I'm here." Meng Hongchen responded and, under the curious gazes of Di Ruiqiu and Ye Guyi, jogged over to Jing Hongchen's side.

With a bright smile on his face, Jing Hongchen prepared to take Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen to receive the Soul Guide Full Body Armor that he had specially made for his granddaughter and grandson-in-law.

……

Mingde Hall, a laboratory deep within the underground base.

The circular laboratory is over a hundred meters in diameter, with an extremely spacious and grand atmosphere, and the metal dome radiates a strange luster.

Jing Hongchen and the others descended via the soul-guided elevator.

He looked at Lin Jiayi beside him, his tone noticeably serious: "Jiayi, has the shielding system of Experiment Subject One Research Base been activated?"

Lin Jiayi said solemnly, "Don't worry, Hall Master, the shielding system here is on all day long, and no trace of soul power will be detected by the outside world."

Every time Jing Hongchen entered, she would have Lin Jiayi check her over, because the soul guidance technology of Experiment Subject No. 1 was the highest scientific research achievement in soul guidance device research to date.

He led Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen into the laboratory.

Inside the enormous circular laboratory, a metal wall was constructed, running straight from the ground to the dome, dividing the laboratory space into two semi-circular areas. Jing Hongchen and his companions were in the front half of the area.

"Yuhao, Meng, here is a research project on soul guidance technology that can be described as the most advanced in the entire continent. Every small part of it symbolizes the wisdom of all the ninth-level soul masters in the empire."

Jing Hongchen opened his arms wide, took a deep breath with a sense of rapture, and felt incredibly proud.

Huo Yuhao naturally knew that he was referring to Experiment Subject One, which should be located in the rear semi-circular area of ​​the laboratory. He did not attempt to use mental detection to check, as there was no need.

Jing Hongchen arrived in front of two high-quality metal cabinets, and with a smile on his face, he laughed heartily.

"Haha, Yuhao, Meng, the Soul Guide Full Armor in these two cabinets is a gift that Grandpa gave you before the Soul Master Competition. I believe you will like it."

After saying that, he took out a remote control and pressed it twice.

The two metal cabinets in front of them were suddenly opened, scattering a dazzling, incomparably brilliant light, as if they were opening some priceless treasures.

A moment later, the beam of light dissipated.

In each of the two metal cabinets, there was a set of exquisite armor pieces in a beautiful interplay of red and blue.

Because both Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen possess ice and fire attributes, the soul guide full-body armor that Jing Hongchen made for them has a certain degree of compatibility.

Jing Hongchen tugged at his collar with one hand, his face beaming with pride: "Yuhao, Meng, these two sets of equipment are level five and level six Soul Guidance Full Armor, respectively. Wearing them will allow you to fight even if you are one level higher."

Lin Jiayi echoed with a smile, "These two sets of soul-guided full-body armor are definitely the best soul-guided devices among those of the same level."

"Yuhao, Meng, you two should give it a try." Jing Hongchen's smile remained bright.

Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao exchanged a glance, blinked their sky-blue eyes, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, actually Yuhao and I also got a set of soul-guided armor together, and the enhancement effect is quite good."

"Um?"

Jing Hongchen was taken aback, then blew his beard and glared: "You two, don't mess around. This kind of soul guide armor that needs to be adapted to the body and martial soul might cause some harm to the body."

"It's really Grandpa! Yuhao and I have been making this for a long time. How about I wear it for you to see?" Meng Hongchen's eyes crinkled with undisguised joy.

Seeing that Sun Goddess's expression was serious and didn't seem to be faking it, Jing Hongchen nodded hesitantly.

With a wave of her hand, Meng Hongchen channeled her soul power, and eleven orbs of light flew out of her storage ring: a headband, a breastplate, a waist-cinching battle skirt, thigh armor...

Jing Hongchen and Lin Jiayi's eyes widened upon seeing the appearance of these battle armor parts. Putting aside the enhancement effect after wearing them, the appearance was too perfect; they dared not say that it was made so exquisitely.

Lin Jiayi's voice trembled slightly: "Master, you didn't teach the technology of Experiment Subject One to your granddaughter and Yuhao beforehand, did you?"

Jing Hongchen shook his head: "Before this, Yuhao and Meng had absolutely no idea of ​​the existence of Experiment Subject No. 1."

With a thought, Meng Hongchen summoned eleven orbs of light that swirled around her body.

Immediately afterwards, the battle armor on her forehead, shoulders, chest, arms, waist, and other parts flew over automatically under the guidance of Meng Hongchen's soul power.

Soon, magnificent patterns extended from Meng Hongchen's forehead, from her headband to her combat boots, and all the armor components enveloped her entire body.

Meng Hongchen wore a streamlined armor that intertwined silver-white and ice-blue colors, and held a silver-blue longsword in each hand.

With her silvery-white hair flowing freely, Meng Hongchen, who was already fair-skinned and beautiful with a graceful figure, looked even more dashing in this battle armor.

Meng Hongchen's momentum steadily increased, eventually reaching the level of a seventh-ring Soul Saint.

Lin Jiayi's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with disbelief, his lips trembling, "Master, if I'm not mistaken, Meng's cultivation has reached the seventh-ring Soul Saint level!?"

"Furthermore, if you sense it carefully, Master, the aura contained in each piece of the armor made by Yuhao is much stronger than that in our full-body armor."

huh-huh-

Jing Hongchen suddenly felt short of breath, with a strange sense of suffocation. Had the things he had studied his whole life been surpassed by these two juniors?

Jing Hongchen and Lin Jiayi fell into an eerie silence.

After donning the One-Word Battle Armor, Meng Hongchen's joyful and clear voice rang out: "Grandpa, after putting on this armor, it seems my cultivation has reached the Seventh Ring Soul Saint level..."

Jing Hongchen shook his head rapidly, his emotions somewhat unstable. "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Yuhao, is this the effect of your simulated soul skill?"
