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

Chapter 55 Assessment Content

The senior student was taken aback.

May I?

Seeing that Xu Yuan was small and young, but quite handsome, she subconsciously made a teasing remark.

I haven't really thought about this issue in depth.

If you don't go into depth, then it's definitely not possible.

But as they went deeper, the senior student began to frown.

Using mecha design concepts to bypass the Heavenly Forging process to create the four-character battle armor.

The subconscious reaction was to simplify the core magic array so that the magic array with the effect of the four-word battle armor could be engraved on the soul-forged metal.

This is obviously impossible.

The current development system of Battle Armor has been streamlined to the extreme. Battle Armor itself is a simplified version of mecha. In order to facilitate the exertion of individual Soul Master strength, many unnecessary functions of mecha have been discarded while streamlining. However, there is one thing that cannot be streamlined at all, and that is the amplification effect in battle.

The pursuit of battle armor is for power, not for fame.

If the magic array inscribed on the Soul Forging can achieve the effect of the current four-word battle armor, then what about the more complex magic arrays inscribed with the Heaven Forging metal?

Will there be a new version of the four-word battle armor?

Therefore, there is an equal relationship that cannot be broken: those made of Soul-Forged Metal are three-word battle armors, while those made of Heaven-Forged Metal are four-word battle armors.

People generally categorize the Star Luo National Preceptor's situation as his battle armor upgrade being achieved through an unconventional method of Heavenly Forging.

This is a subconscious reaction without deep thought.

It's worth considering further: what if this little brother meant using mecha design techniques to upgrade metal?

"It's not just blacksmiths who deal with spirituality; other secondary professions do too. Why can't those in other secondary professions complete the Heavenly Forging? Even if it's not something that can be achieved overnight, can't they do it through gradual guidance?" Xu Yuan offered his opinion.

The senior who asked the question smiled, but it wasn't a mocking smile; it was just a helpless one.

"Hey junior? Do you know what long-term induction means?" Before Xu Yuan could react, the senior gave the answer: "It means you have to constantly adjust your induction methods based on the changes in your battle armor. This will continue for several years, even more than ten years, or even decades. Ideally, you should achieve the Limit Douluo level. The four-word battle armor you eventually cultivate will have a much weaker amplification effect than a four-word battle armor forged through normal means."

Because you have become powerful, you can nurture him to this level.

Moreover, it is virtually impossible to cultivate to the same rank as you.

Xu Yuan realized that what his senior said made sense.

Take the current Limit Douluo in the mainland as an example. Perhaps the simple enhancement of a four-word battle armor can give an ordinary Title Douluo the combat power of a Limit Douluo. However, Limit Douluo are also divided into levels. The power exerted by such a four-word battle armor master is at most the lowest level of quasi-demigod among Limit Douluo.

Compared to demigods or even quasi-gods who are not four-word battle armor masters, their strength is far inferior.

For demigods and even quasi-gods, what they need is a four-word battle armor that can amplify their abilities.

If one spends decades cultivating a set of four-word battle armor that is only suitable for quasi-demigods, and the enhancement to demigods or even quasi-gods is negligible, then what is the point?

All of this is based on the premise that success can be nurtured.

I must say, I gained a lot from communicating with the senior students.

This pre-conference hype was all about ideas for battle armor, fulfilling Xu Yuan's plans and visions for battle armor, but there was no real exchange that would help him improve his secondary profession.

"Junior Xu, if you want to improve your secondary profession skills, you should wait until the tournament starts. Although what you're doing now is helpful, it's just riding the wave and doesn't really help improve your secondary profession," Yu Yang said helplessly.

With a sigh, Xu Yuan left the Mech Pilots Association.

As a transmigrator, he was never short of ideas and imagination, but he could not underestimate others. This was a real world. Soul Masters might lack innovative ideas, but even if a Soul Master only had one special idea, dozens or hundreds of people would come together to discuss it, and the number of ideas would increase.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Xu Yuan spent the next three days immersed in his wildly imaginative ideas.

Inner courtyard.

Xu Yuan and the other two gathered together, and Shen Yi looked at their mental state with some helplessness.

Her advance warning that the assessment would be difficult was meant to put pressure on Xu Yuan.

As a result, Xu Yuan went to the Mech Pilots Association every day to join in the fun as if nothing had happened, while Xu Lizhi and the other two trained like crazy and were almost exhausted.

Of course, because of the assessment today, Xu Lizhi and his companion had a good night's rest last night.

"Your assessment today is very simple: fight against yourself from six months ago," Shen Yi said.

The assessment method is simple, but the assessment itself is not simple.

Can I surpass my self from six months ago?

Xu Yuan was amused when he heard this.

This is no problem at all.

Xu Yuan six months ago?

Trash ears~~~

"Don't be careless. Since this is an assessment, it certainly won't be that simple. After all, you've only been cultivating for a year before, and now, half a year has passed, so your strength has increased significantly. It shouldn't be difficult for you to defeat yourselves from six months ago," Shen Yi reminded them, looking at their expressions.

Seeing Xu Lizhi's tense yet relaxed state followed by renewed anxiety, Shen Yi felt great.

Ye Xinglan was alright, her expression remained rather indifferent, but Xu Lizhi's feelings were completely written on his face.

"This time, your assessment will take place in the Soul Arena." Shen Yi explained the content of the assessment: "Remember the Soul Arena? Your opponents are completely simulated. Although the data is collected from real Soul Masters, the projection during the battle is generated by the system."

Man-machine.

As we all know, AI can be very weak and unreliable, or it can be incredibly powerful and unsolvable.

Xu Yuan quickly grasped this point.

Sure enough, that's what Shen Yi said too.

"Although it's you guys from six months ago, the projection team will be very strong in combat skills."

Xu Lizhi's chubby face was already swollen with worry, but he clearly hadn't realized where the real difficulty lay.

"Teacher, what aspects are included in combat skills?" Xu Yuan asked.

Shen Yi's eyes curved into a sly smile.

"Apart from the basic physical and spiritual qualities, all other abilities are included in techniques."

Ye Xinglan's expression finally changed noticeably; she felt immense pressure.

Do techniques and sword intent count?

Do purely self-created soul skills or ultimate techniques count?

Xu Yuan thought about it more deeply.

He could now imagine fighting a creature disguised as him, a creature that could control cranes and capture dragons with one hand, whose feet moved like ghosts, and whose eyes were purple.

It's absolutely an eyesore.

what--

Wait a minute!

Xu Yuan was suddenly taken aback.

How realistic is the simulation of the Soul Arena?

Will it simulate the entire meridian structure of a Soul Master?
