Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 133 Short-Term Planning (Please Subscribe!!!)

Mecha transformation technology is the core technology by which Makino combines mecha and battle armor.

Xiao Hong, Mu Ye's red-level mecha, is a red-level mecha that has fused with one of his key soul spirits. It is a red-level mecha with extremely high intelligence and can be said to be the mecha in the world with the closest amplification level to a four-word battle armor.

During battle, Xiao Hong can provide a boost to Mu Ye, who is wearing the Four-Word Battle Armor. The most violent form of this battle is when Xiao Hong transforms into a long sword, which merges with Mu Ye's Four-Word Battle Armor, unleashing extremely powerful force.

It can be said that, due to the fusion of soul spirits, Xiao Hong, after transforming into a longsword, is no less powerful than Mu Ye's martial soul. They are in sync, and Mu Ye's soul skills can even be directly used on the longsword that Xiao Hong has transformed into. With the amplification of blood and qi, Xiao Hong can also enjoy the same benefits.

Although Xiao Hong is not as good as the four-word battle armor, it has an extra component and a higher enhancement level.

The mecha transformation technology that Xu Yuan mentioned is the technology of changing the form of mecha.

However, most mechs are not suitable for this technology.

"Xiao Yuan, this transformation technology requires at least spirit-forged metal. Even your mecha should be at least purple-grade to be fully forged from spirit-forged metal, right?"

"Teacher, isn't this what I was planning ahead for? My mecha is almost finished. After I've familiarized myself with it for a while and my forging skills have improved, I should upgrade the mecha. I want to finish designing my purple-level mecha as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Makino also felt that it made sense.

"Alright, by the way, haven't you started making your battle armor yet?"

Xu Yuan shook his head.

His battle armor is currently not progressing at all.

That's right, Xu Yuan's battle armor hasn't even started production yet.

"Are you planning to wait until you can forge a divine alloy with a 99% fusion rate before you start making battle armor?" Makino frowned.

At other times, he could understand Xu Yuan's ambition, but was such a high pursuit of this one-word battle armor too much?

Crafting a One-Word Battle Armor early on, experiencing its amplification, and nurturing its spirituality are all beneficial.

Battle armor, like the soul spirit, grows along with the soul master.

Excellent battle armor masters use only the finest metals, refined a thousand times, when crafting their one-word battle armor.

A true battle armor master must also meet these conditions.

Only metals refined to the highest grade through a thousand forgings begin to possess spirituality, and their life is initially awakened by the blacksmith.

Even though it cannot yet be integrated into a Soul Master's body like a forged spirit alloy, it has already begun to possess true spirituality and has preliminary intelligence. In each mutual amplification with the Soul Master and in joint battles, the spirits of both sides interact.

This is the process of spiritual growth and development, and also the process of nurturing and shaping.

In the future, the two-word battle armor may need to replace all the metal materials, but the spirit within it will need to be transferred, integrating the spirit of the original one-word battle armor into the two-word battle armor made entirely of new metal.

If the three-word battle armor needs to be made of a different metal instead of being forged a second or third time on the basis of the original alloy, then a spiritual transition is also required.

From weak to strong, the metal used to make the battle armor may have undergone batch changes, or even multiple changes, but the spirit within it has accompanied the battle armor master from the weakest to the strongest.

Therefore, it's a good thing to start making the One-Word Battle Armor early.

Even if the battle armor is replaced with a metal one afterward, there are techniques for spiritual transition that can help the battle armor master complete this step.

"Teacher, I know, so I will complete the improvement of my forging skills as soon as possible, and I am also about to design the core array of the One-Word Battle Armor." Xu Yuan paused for a moment, and then continued to explain the real reason: "Teacher, you should also know that the situation after my martial soul splits is still unclear. If I design it now, it will be incompatible later, so I need to wait until my martial soul is completely split before I can do so."

Makino let out a deep sigh of relief.

Indeed, Xu Yuan's martial spirit has a problem.

With both martial souls unstable, no one can predict what will happen after they split. Designing battle armor at this time will only make it less and less suitable.

"Well, that's fine, your situation is indeed different."

Despite being so far ahead in cultivation, he, like most ordinary students, will have to wait another year or two before he can even begin to try making battle armor.

Makino finally discovered that Xu Yuan's progress was on par with that of ordinary geniuses.

"For the next two years, just use the mecha for amplification. Anyway, once you create your mecha, the amplification level won't be lower than that of the battle armor." Makino thought for a moment and then took out another document.

"These are my insights from when I was learning yellow and purple level mechs. See if they are helpful. I've tested your mech, and its basic stats surpass most purple level mechs. You can start learning many maneuvers that only purple level mechs can attempt now."

After leaving Tiandou City, Xu Yuan piloted his mecha back to Shrek City.

He was on guard along the way, but the chances of encountering an evil spirit master in this era were still extremely low.

Even though the Holy Spirit Cult is preparing to make a comeback recently, they dare not act recklessly as long as Shrek Academy has not been destroyed.

Along the way, Xu Yuan also realized that so much time had passed without him noticing.

"When in the original story did the Holy Spirit Cult and the Eternal East Wind jointly launch the God-Slaying Missile?"

Xu Yuan recalled the details, remembering that it happened at least after Devil Island.

Devil Island was built after Tang Wulin's return.

Before Tang Wulin returned, he went to the Star Dou Continent, where the Thousand Days of Dragon Burial lasted at least three years.

Before this, Xu Yuan remembered there was also an end-of-year assessment.

Roughly speaking, there are at least four more years to go.

However, four years is actually a very short time.

Xu Yuan has been cultivating for a full seven years!

"We should also think of a way to remind Teacher Yunming."

Xu Yuan did not go directly to Poseidon Island.

He needed to think about how to subtly remind Yun Ming.

In fact, the destruction of Shrek Academy was of great significance to Xu Yuan, as it was a crucial prerequisite for him to rebuild Shrek Academy entirely of his own.

However, he did end up cultivating here for six years.

Xu Yuan was conflicted.

Another very important point is that the God-Slaying Missile destroyed not only Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect headquarters, but also most of Shrek City!

This is Shrek City, the most prosperous city on the entire continent, with a population of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Back in his dormitory, Xu Yuan calmed down and continued his cultivation.

the next day.

Poseidon Island.

"Junior brother, you seem a bit listless today," Na'er said with a smile, waking Xu Yuan from his reverie.

Xu Yuan was dazed, then came to his senses and gave a wry smile.

"Na'er, what do you think is the purpose of cultivation?"

"Get stronger."

"Then what about becoming stronger? And what's the purpose of becoming stronger?"
