I am getting stronger and stronger in the world of demons and monsters

"Next,

Xiao Liu, go into the testing room and attack Zhao Yi!
Remember to give it your all, just like your senior brother Han Bao!
This test requires seriousness. If we're not serious now, problems might arise when we use this silver armor in battle later!

Lin Xuankong looked at Han Liu with a serious expression.

Although he had full confidence in the silver-white armor he had forged himself,
Lin Xuankong, who has always been cautious, likes to take every step seriously. Even with this kind of test, he still wants to be meticulous in every aspect!

Han Liu had already gained some understanding of the silver-white armor worn by Zhao Yi, a ninth-tier early-stage Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior, after seeing his senior brother Han Bao's appearance and recalling Han Bao's attack on Zhao Yi. When Lin Xuankong called him, he immediately stepped forward and entered the alloy testing room.

Looking at Zhao Yi, who was still completely bewildered, Han Liu chuckled:
"Xiao Yi, don't blame your sixth brother for beating you up too hard. It was just for a proper test!"

Although Zhao Yi, a ninth-tier early-stage Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior, was still in a daze, he nodded seriously when he heard Han Liu say this, "Commander Han, just attack Xiao Yi with all your might, there's no need to hold back!"

Although Han Liu understood that Zhao Yi's words meant he was going to cooperate seriously in testing the armor's defensive capabilities, it still sounded like Zhao Yi was looking down on his own materialized Void Devouring Insect.

Han Liu grinned, revealing his teeth. Behind him, the enormous, super-fat Void-Eating Worm suddenly appeared.
Ten days later,

Inside Lin Xuankong's office on the top floor of Building 1 in Shelter 36.

You Rui handed some documents to Lin Xuankong. Her pretty face was furrowed, and her eyes held a hint of worry.
"This is the situation of the offensive and defensive operations between the various countries under our Fire Seed Organization and the Yunqin Alliance over the past half month. Overall, our Fire Seed Organization is at a significant disadvantage. Nearly half of the land and population of the eight countries that originally belonged to the Fire Seed Organization have changed hands and have been occupied by the various armies of the Yunqin Alliance!"
During this period, Mr. Wang Ze, the president of our Fire Seed Organization, and Mr. Huang Yuan, the vice president, faced this pressure. Although they led the elite members of the Fire Seed Organization to put out fires everywhere, they could only achieve some victories in certain areas. The overall situation was still in a state of continuous collapse!
Xuan Kong, for the past half month, you've devoted all your energy and time to forging the armor. Fortunately, in the Tang Kingdom, because the two heads of the Zhennan Wang family and the Lin family are both extremely powerful, the number of lands invaded and people plundered is not too large. There have only been some setbacks in the southeast. Dingzhou, where our No. 36 Shelter is located, has not yet been affected. The situation in this area can still be kept relatively stable for now!
Unfortunately, this period of stability probably won't last much longer!
Once the Wu family in the Kingdom of Yundong can no longer hold out and retreats to the Kingdom of Yunsong, the countries under the greatest pressure will immediately become the Kingdom of Tang and the Kingdom of Yunsong. At that time, a considerable number of fourth-tier super-strong individuals will lead a large number of fifth-tier and sixth-tier gene-powered individuals to invade everywhere, and the situation in Dingzhou will be in turmoil.

Lin Xuankong took the documents, glanced at them, and frowned, saying:
"As for our top-tier combat power, our Shelter No. 36 is currently unable to resist the Yunqin Alliance. However, barren lands like Dingzhou may not even catch the eye of the elite experts of the Yunqin Alliance! However, if the situation of our Fire Seed Organization continues like this, it is not a solution. Sooner or later, we will face a complete collapse. And this is still before the Gate of Descent has been opened and before the demons of the Central Star have descended!"
It seems the forging of the silver armor needs to be accelerated. Only when enough silver armor is forged, and most of them are handed over to Master Wang Ze to form several elite teams, can we severely damage the main forces of the Yunqin Alliance and slightly slow down their offensive, thus dampening their morale and sharpening their momentum over the past half-month!

Upon hearing this, Captain You Rui pondered for a moment, then shook her head slightly and said, "Within the Tang Kingdom, all the resources that could be found have been collected with the support of the Wang and Lin families, and have all been refined into silver armor by you, Xuan Kong! As for the resources of the other countries under the Fire Seed Organization, due to the recent war, a large number of resource depots have fallen into the hands of those super strong individuals in the Yunqin Alliance, so it is estimated that not many resources can be mobilized!"
"I wonder if the current number of these silver-white armors is enough to turn the tide."

Lin Xuankong remained silent for a moment, a confident glint in his eyes. "The key to an army is quality, not quantity. Even if I can't find any alternative resources due to resource constraints, the silver armor I recently crafted is enough to equip 120 people! That's enough to arm a 30-person elite team in our Shelter No. 36, and the remaining 90 sets are enough to arm three or four top-tier elite teams!"
With these elite teams, and by recapturing some more resource depots, we can enter a virtuous cycle!

Regarding this, I will discuss it in detail with Master Wang Ze when he returns. Xiao Rui, you don't need to worry about the selection of members for the three or four teams! You've been by my side day and night for the past two weeks, you must be exhausted. Today we're not forging armor, so you should go and rest. I'll arrange some things later and then go take a break too!

Upon hearing this, Captain You Rui shook her head. "I'll go to the perimeter of Shelter No. 36 first to check on the situation of the sentries and to keep everyone on their toes in case of a surprise attack. As for rest, it will probably be a very, very long time before I can get a proper rest!"

After saying that, she sighed slightly at Lin Xuankong, turned around and left the office.

Seeing You Rui's reaction, Lin Xuankong frowned again, stood up, walked to the French windows, and looked outside. At this moment, in the various large plazas of Shelter 36, many people were strolling around with their families, surrounded by bustling shops. Under the management of Captain You Rui and Commander Han Bao, Shelter 36 now had a large population. Having absorbed a large number of people from Shelter 1 and gathered refugees from other shelters, the total population of Shelter 36 had reached over 400,000.

This population size is equivalent to that of some large county towns in Dingzhou, Tang Kingdom, before the Source Beast Disaster. This population is enough to support Shelter No. 36 and turn it into a rather impressive city! In addition, with the proper management of You Rui, Han Bao, Han Liu and others, this shelter is thriving, the people's lives are quite good, the number of gene warriors is also increasing, and the overall strength of the shelter is also increasing.

However, Lin Xuankong was very clear that the current prosperity and bustle of Shelter No. 36 was only temporary. Once the top super strongmen of the Yunqin Alliance led their army of gene warriors to the heart of Tang Kingdom and Dingzhou, Shelter No. 36 in Shicheng, as a stronghold with a large number of gene warriors, would definitely become an important target for the Yunqin Alliance army!
Moreover, even if Shelter Thirty-Six weren't as lively as it is now, with Lin Xuankong here, this shelter has already caught the eye of some top experts in the Yunqin Alliance. Who knows, at any time, a massive disaster that could wipe out the entire Shelter Thirty-Six might just strike!

'At present, 120 sets of silver armor have been forged. Even if only 30 sets are left, it will be enough to give Han Bao, Han Liu and others a defensive effect that will prevent them from being seriously injured for a long time under the attack of super strong people in the early and middle stages of the fourth rank. Moreover, they can remain absolutely invincible in front of any fifth-rank gene powerhouse!'
The defensive effect of this silver-white armor far exceeds one-twentieth of that of the pseudo-purple aura armor, and is only about 20-30% less than that of the real purple aura armor!
The next thing to consider is not defense!

Lin Xuankong withdrew his gaze and looked at his right hand. In his right palm, the Universe Treasure Jade, which he had obtained from Yi Xue, the second strongest fifth-level expert of the Yunqin Alliance, was shimmering with the luster of the jade, looking radiant and quite mystical.

'The only pity is that I don't have any information about how to refine the Universal Jade!'

To replicate the powerful attack range enhancement effect of the Cosmic Jade, and to reverse engineer the refining method of this treasure, which is clearly more exquisite than the Purple Qi Armor, without damaging its structure, it would take at least half a year!

However, even if it takes more than half a year, it must begin immediately. Once the powerful effects of this Universal Treasure can be replicated, it will definitely enhance the overall strength of the Fire Seed Organization. At the very least, it will allow the attack power of the Fire Seed Organization's many fourth-tier super strongmen and fifth-tier and sixth-tier strongmen to be increased several times!
It seems Xiaorui hasn't had a chance to rest lately, and neither have I!

Lin Xuankong sighed softly, put away the Universe Treasure Jade, and walked towards the office door.

He planned to return to the underground weapon-refining room immediately to study the Universal Jade in seclusion for a period of time. Before the super strongmen and assassins sent by the Yunqin Alliance caused chaos in Shelter No. 36, and before the super army of the Yunqin Alliance attacked Dingzhou, he had to seize the time to master the refining method of replicating the Universal Jade!
Having a Universal Jade in hand could greatly increase the strength of Lin Xuankong himself or someone close to him, such as Wang Ze, making them as powerful as two or three people. However, the problem is that, facing the Yunqin Alliance, which is full of powerful individuals and has an ever-growing influence and also possesses many Origin Artifacts, one Universal Jade and one super-strong individual whose strength has doubled are far from enough. More are needed!
Just as I reached the office door,
Lin Xuankong paused, as if sensing something, and looked at his chest with a strange expression.

At this moment, a peculiar black and white pattern resembling a hanging puppet suddenly appeared on the chest of his invisible silver-white armor. This puppet appeared abruptly on his chest, without any prior warning or abnormal energy fluctuations; it was clearly an effect of an extremely special genetic ability. The puppet looked incredibly lifelike, seemingly tilting its head. The puppet's head even had hair, and its face was exactly like a miniature version of Lin Xuankong, as if someone had printed out Lin Xuankong's face, made a tiny portrait, and pasted it onto the head of that tiny puppet image!
Lin Xuankong was looking down at the puppet pattern on his chest.
The office door suddenly opened, and a man in a white suit walked in.

Lin Xuankong withdrew his gaze from the puppet pattern hanging from the chest, looked up at the man in the white suit, and then raised his eyebrows, saying, "A fifth-tier gene powerhouse from the Yunqin Alliance? You have quite the audacity to come all alone to our Tang Kingdom's Stone City, to my 36th Shelter. Haven't you heard of the annihilation of the Yunquan Kingdom's 100,000-strong army, or the defeat of Yi Xue, the second strongest fifth-tier expert in your Yunqin Alliance? Who gave you the courage to come all alone to my 36th Shelter, to stand before me, Lin Xuankong?"

Lin Xuankong was clearly not in a good mood at the moment. The bleak situation of the eight countries under the Fire Seed Organization and the difficulty in comprehending the method of replicating the Universal Treasure Jade made him feel somewhat depressed. Even though he had already refined one hundred and twenty sets of silver-white armor comparable to the real Purple Qi Armor, he was still slightly downcast.

If it weren't for his curiosity about the white-suited man's special genetic abilities, and how he managed to silently draw a strange pattern of a hanging puppet on his chest, Lin Xuankong probably would have already killed this arrogant, tall man in the white suit!

"hehe!
Lin Xuankong, the founder of Shelter No. 36
You are also a strange super genius with a compatibility of only 43. Despite having a genetic compatibility of only 40, you have cultivated from an ordinary person to a top-level fifth-order genetic powerhouse in just a few years!
Countless renowned gene powerhouses have fallen at your hands. Even the combined efforts of several top fifth-tier powerhouses from the Cloud Dog Kingdom were unable to resist your Water-Drawing Technique and Ice Technique. Even Yi Xue, the second strongest fifth-tier powerhouse in our Cloud Qin Alliance, was defeated by you in a direct confrontation!
"Your reputation is so great that it has even alarmed the Supreme Divine Envoy of our Yunqin Alliance, Yi Feifeng. How could I not know? How could I not be nervous? Facing you, how could I not be afraid that such a powerful fifth-tier top-level super expert would turn on me!"

The tall man in the white suit looked at Lin Xuankong, whose face was icy cold, and chuckled. He spoke words of tension, fear, and worry, but his expression remained relaxed and natural, showing no sign of nervousness whatsoever. (End of Chapter)
