Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 113 The Duel

Although Yuan Changqing was capable of crafting two-word battle armor, he had no intention of immediately attempting it. He would wait until he had finished crafting the sample one-word battle armor.

Battle armor is a new thing after all. If too much is revealed, Yuan Changqing wouldn't know how to explain it if his family asked.

So Yuan Changqing simply decided not to tell everyone yet, but to wait until after some time and then say that he had figured it out, so that it wouldn't seem too abrupt.

Furthermore, since the design blueprints for everyone's battle armor haven't been completed yet, it gives Yuan Changqing some time to work on it. Once everyone has finished designing their battle armor, Yuan Changqing can then say that they are ready to forge higher-level battle armor.

Battle armor is still a novelty in Douluo Continent, and there are no levels yet. When the time comes, Yuan Changqing can directly assign levels to battle armor.

Furthermore, Yuan Changqing also wanted to study soul forging and fusion forging.

Soul forging greatly enhances the spirituality of metals, which requires communication through profound spiritual power. Simple fusion forging involves fusing and forging six or more metals, while complex fusion forging endows metals with their own inherent talents, making them more vibrant.

There is an even more powerful Heavenly Forging technique, which requires comprehending the laws of heaven and earth. During Heavenly Forging, the laws of heaven and earth are introduced into the metal to make the metal's vitality stronger, thus completing the Heavenly Forging. As for the more specifics of Heavenly Forging, Yuan Changqing was not too clear, he only knew that blacksmiths had such a forging method.

...

In the following days, Yuan Changqing began to work on the remaining parts, hoping to complete the battle armor as soon as possible.

Therefore, the sound of forging hammers striking each day can be heard in the forging room.

Half a month later, when everyone returned to the forge, they saw a complete battle armor presented before them.

Yuan Changqing said, "Now that the battle armor is complete, can we go out and test its power?"

Afterwards, Yuan Changqing put on his battle armor and led everyone to a training ground that had been specially built before.

Yuan Changqing handed the battle armor to Yuan Zilong and said, "Zilong, you are now a Soul King level Soul Master, so this battle armor is perfect for you. Let's test its combat power first."

"Okay, brother." Yuan Zilong said after taking the battle armor.

As he put on the battle armor piece by piece, the eleven battle armor components were like decorations on Yuan Zilong's body.

Yuan Changqing then said, "Zilong, now I'll accompany you to try it out. You should first activate your battle armor to its full state."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zilong began to communicate with his battle armor, connecting his soul skills and mental power to the soul guidance array within the armor.

The first thing everyone saw was the waist guard and battle skirt unfolding, covering the chest, back, arms, and legs. The headband battle armor also began to unfold and merge with the waist guard and battle skirt. The forearm armor and gauntlets on the hands and the calf armor and battle boots on the feet simultaneously extended, connecting to the battle armor on the arms and thighs, finally forming a complete battle armor that was worn on the body.

When the aunt saw the complete battle armor, and its majestic and cool appearance when fully unfolded, she was quite surprised.

Although I had seen the design drawings by Yuan Changqing, they were not as visually striking as what I see now.

My aunt's eyes seemed to sparkle with excitement. She even went up and touched it before exclaiming, "Wow! What cool armor! Catherine, Yu Yan, you should come and see too!"

Afterwards, the adults and children in the family all wanted to go up, looked around, and even touched it with their hands, all showing an envious expression.

After everyone had finished watching, Yuan Changqing asked, "Zilong, how did it feel when the battle armor extended and combined?"

Yuan Zilong said, "Brother, I feel a kind of stiffness and sluggishness when these battle armor parts are combined. It will take a while before all the battle armor parts are fully combined."

Yuan Changqing had been observing Yuan Zilong closely since he extended his battle armor and merged with his body. He was able to spot the flaw, but there was nothing he could do. After all, it was just a one-word battle armor, and he couldn't fix such a problem unless it was made of spirit metal.

This is also a drawback of battle armor made from thousand-refined metal; unlike battle armor made from spirit-forged metal, it cannot completely integrate with the user.

Yuan Changqing said, "Alright, these battle armors are forged with a thousand refinements, so naturally they cannot complete the fusion smoothly."

Then he added, "Zilong, now that you've put on your battle armor, let's have a match. I'll keep my strength at the Soul Saint stage and won't use my eighth soul skill."

Battle armor is like putting on a suit of armor for your martial soul. Through the soul guidance array, it can enhance the strength of your martial soul by about 30%.

Therefore, with the enhancement of his battle armor, Yuan Zilong is now able to reach the Soul Saint level of a Soul Master.

Yuan Zilong replied, "Come on, big brother, I'm also eager to try out the combat power after this battle armor is applied to my body."

Both of them possessed Blue Silver Grass as their martial soul, but their quality levels differed. However, they followed the same path.

Yuan Changqing said, "Zilong, I'll let you attack first."

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blade Storm."

Seeing Yuan Zilong's attacking soul skill, the leaves on the Blue Silver Grass martial soul were like shattered sword blades, and a large number of sword blades shot towards Yuan Changqing continuously.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Vajra Shield"

After Yuan Zilong's soul skill attacked, Yuan Changqing quickly set up a defense, wanting to test the power of the soul skill after being enhanced by the battle armor.

After the sword blades collided with the shield, Yuan Changqing could clearly feel that it was greatly improved compared to the normal fourth soul skill. The shield in front of him was also knocked to the ground, as if it would break at any moment.

Seeing Yuan Changqing's defensive soul skill, Yuan Zilong did not stop.

"Big brother, try my fifth soul skill again, Frost Sword."

Then, the vines of the Blue Silver Grass transformed into a sword emanating a chilling aura, piercing directly at Yuan Changqing's defenses.

At this moment, the Blue Silver Vajra Shield could no longer defend and was broken. However, Yuan Changqing would not passively defend and would also begin to defend and counterattack.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Vajra Shield"

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body".

"Fifth Soul Skill, Frost Sword".

Yuan Changqing's soul skill also attacked. Yuan Zilong currently doesn't have a defensive soul skill, so he can only rely on his own speed to dodge.

At this moment, in the center of the battlefield, Blue Silver Grass was everywhere, and the soul skills released by the Blue Silver Grass martial souls of both sides were attacking each other.

After all the soul skills were destroyed, both sides released another soul skill.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blade Storm."

The two unleashed the same soul skill simultaneously, and those outside the arena could clearly see that the effects of their soul skills collided directly in the center of the battlefield, like two giant sword-bladed dragons.

Yuan Changqing maintained his soul skill by relying on his true soul saint power, while Yuan Zilong enhanced the power of his soul skill with his battle armor, resulting in a stalemate.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Vajra Shield"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blade Storm."

In the end, Yuan Changqing's soul skill was broken, but because his soul power was greater than Yuan Zilong's, he was able to defend against the attack again and intercept it once more. After a while, Yuan Zilong collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

After Yuan Zilong exhausted his soul power and mental strength, he could no longer maintain his battle armor and thus lost the match.
