Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 251 Battle Armor Prototype
"Combat armor belonging to a soul master?"

Chewing on this word, Xuan Ziwen looked at the design drawing in hand again.

"So this is your design? Soul power converted into mental power... You have too much soul power and nowhere to use it, right? But including the milk bottle, it is a way for you to quickly restore your combat power."

"A spiritual soul shield... can be considered a way to increase defense, but it consumes spiritual energy... What? You said you are a spiritual soul master? That's fine."

"It's the pattern that burns your vitality. Do you really not take your life seriously?!"

After saying this, Xuan Ziwen turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao, hoping that Huo Yuhao would give an explanation.

"In a life-and-death duel, who cares about this little bit of vitality? The only goal is to kill the opponent by any means necessary."

Huo Yuhao said confidently,

“Besides, as long as he survives, there is a Soul Sage with the Ancient Tree of Life spirit in Shrek Academy… He might even be a Soul Douluo now. It won’t be difficult for him to replenish his vitality, as long as he doesn’t lose his essence.”

What's more, for Huo Yuhao, after absorbing the gold of life, vitality is no longer a problem.

Hearing this, Xuan Ziwen couldn't help but reveal an envious look.

"As expected of Shrek, it has all kinds of rare martial spirits."

Xuan Ziwen sighed, and then pointed to the core array that he himself did not understand:

"Where did you get these blood-related patterns? They can't be about burning potential, right?"

Considering that Huo Yuhao has already considered burning his vitality as a backup option, it might not be impossible to achieve some more extreme effects.

"That's not the case. This is just a reference to the method of soul bone fusion. It is modified to allow rare metals to be attached to the outer surface of the bones. At the same time, it enhances the resistance of the bones and nourishes the metal with blood."

"As for the specific effect, it allows the metal to be nourished by the soul master's blood and become stronger, and at the same time it can be integrated into the soul master's body, achieving the effect of being able to use it at will."

"hiss--!"

To be honest, Xuan Ziwen was indeed surprised by this idea, but he looked at Huo Yuhao suspiciously:
"Did you design this core magic array?"

"certainly--"

Huo Yuhao's tone changed and he said, "No."

"I'll just say it."

Xuan Ziwen said calmly: "I don't know your soul guidance skills. You can't design a core array of this level."

"However, the person who designed this core formation has a deep understanding of the human body. Mingde Hall has conducted research on artificial spirit rings and spirit bones, but no results have been produced."

"Not to mention integrating rare metals into the body, even the core magic array made with soul beast bones as the core cannot be integrated into the body."

"By the way, why did you design the helmet? The armor... should be full body armor, right?"

Huo Yuhao lowered his head in deep thought and said slowly, “It hasn’t been finalized yet. For example, whether to set up offensive core arrays for other parts has not been determined yet. Let’s give priority to making the head where my martial spirit is located.”

"Besides, I am only at the fourth ring now. I am worried that I cannot bear the complete armor with my current cultivation level."

"Yes, according to your design, it must be at least a level 5 soul guide. If the other components are also at this level, you can still drive one piece, but you have to wait until you reach Soul King to drive the whole set."

Xuan Ziwen nodded, agreeing with Huo Yuhao's idea. He also raised a question: "Since the core design is to increase combat power, why didn't you design a chapter to increase mental power? Instead, you designed a chapter to increase soul power?"

Huo Yuhao asked in bewilderment: "Mingde Hall, has it already developed a core formation that can increase spiritual power?"

"I see,"

Xuan Ziwen nodded, knowing where the problem lay. It turned out that Shrek didn't have many core magic arrays with spiritual attributes accumulated.

Apart from anything else, in order to control the humanoid soul guide, Mingdetang's experimenters have already played around with various amplification core arrays, just to make the requirements for the driver lower.

Despite this, the minimum requirement for using a humanoid soul guide is to be a Titled Douluo, but it has been lowered from the original level 91 to around level .

Based on Huo Yuhao's drawings, Xuan Ziwen added a core magic array to amplify mental power, and optimized and deleted some redundant patterns, thus improving energy utilization efficiency while retaining basic functions.

"Take a look, does it meet your requirements?"

As he spoke, Xuan Ziwen handed the improved blueprint in his hand to Huo Yuhao.

"As expected of Teacher Xuan."

Huo Yuhao could tell at a glance how big the gap was between the blueprint in hand and his own design. He had to say that Xuan Ziwen was worthy of being an experienced eighth-level soul engineer, and his level was much better than Huo Yuhao's.

According to Huo Yuhao's estimation, the energy utilization efficiency of the soul guide built according to the new version of the blueprint has increased by at least 10% compared to Huo Yuhao's original version.

You should know that Huo Yuhao himself is a level six soul engineer who is preparing to be promoted to level seven. The soul guide device that he spent nearly a year designing is already at a top level among its peers.

After Xuan Ziwen's modifications, as far as the current work is concerned, a soul guide device that can provide a spiritual attribute soul guide shield, amplify mental power and soul power, and directly burn vitality to increase the amplification multiplier when needed is already considered the top soul guide device of the same level.

"Oh, Teacher Xuan, according to my original idea, I actually wanted to use the linked soul guide array to concentrate the amplification of each component, so as to maximize the upper limit of the amplification. It's a pity that I can't access any information in this area..."

To be honest, it would be a lie for Huo Yuhao to say that he was not tempted by the linked soul guide formation.

It’s a pity that after two years in Mingde Hall, Huo Yuhao has never seen a single prototype. It is estimated that they are all in deeper areas.

After all, those things were for the military and it was impossible for them to be made in a small workshop, which resulted in Huo Yuhao having no chance to come into contact with them.

Xuan Ziwen pushed his glasses and said with understanding: "It seems that this is why you came to see me tonight."

"Based on the linkage soul guide array, integrate multiple amplification arrays to strengthen yourself..."

After calculating the increase value in his mind, even Xuan Ziwen couldn't help but be amazed for a moment.

"Head, left and right hands, left and right legs, torso. Even if we only count these six parts, the overall increase in value of a single level 5 amplification array is about 10%. The total of six is ​​60%, which is enough to allow a Soul King to have the combat power of a Soul Emperor in a short period of time. If it is further subdivided and matched with a full body armor, the increase can be further increased, allowing the Soul King to have... combat power close to the Soul Saint level?!"

When this theoretical data appeared, even Xuan Ziwen was shocked. He quickly checked it again in his mind and finally got the same result.

Soul King vs. Soul Saint...

madman!

Looking at Huo Yuhao's calm expression, Xuan Ziwen seemed to have seen his crazy heart. He was a madman who was desperate to improve his instantaneous explosive power and believed in the ultimate personal force.

If we follow this design idea, all of them can be converted into ninth-level soul guide arrays, plus the cultivation level of a Titled Douluo... no, a ninety-nine-level Ultimate Douluo.

Imagine that scene.

What kind of scene would it be like if a level nine amplification array numbering in the tens of digits were used on a level ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo?
If the legend that has been passed down for thousands of years on Douluo Continent is true.

One step further to the end of human power...

That is……

A living god for a moment!
Thinking of this, even Xuan Ziwen, who was knowledgeable and had witnessed the birth of countless crazy ideas, couldn't help but tremble.

"call……"

After taking a deep breath, Xuan Ziwen looked at Huo Yuhao seriously and said, "Have you ever thought about whether your body can withstand such an increase? The gap between Soul King and Soul Saint is even greater than that between mortal and Soul King. Even if you succeed and are not knocked down by the huge soul power, how much can you control? In less than ten seconds at most, your body will most likely be on the verge of collapse. Once you completely lose control of your power, your meridians will be shattered by the huge energy and difficult to piece together."

"I understand. I have already considered these issues when I first conceived them. Relying solely on the soul master's physical body to withstand this impact, even the original martial soul that is good at physical body may not be able to withstand it."

Hearing this, Xuan Ziwen looked more relaxed: "In that case, what is the solution?"

Huo Yuhao said: “That’s why I used metal entering the body as the most basic design concept. I want the rare metal to bear the greatest impact or even most of the impact for me like a soul bone, so that I can fully release the amplified power before my soul power is exhausted.”

"Soul bone? Metal entering the body?"

Chewing on these words, Xuan Ziwen paced back and forth in the small dormitory.

Although Xuan Ziwen did not like this kind of soul guide device that was created for combat, the one who designed this soul guide device was his own student, so Xuan Ziwen was willing to contribute his own strength to this design.

"As far as I know, there are not many rare metals that can perfectly adapt to the flesh. Even Xiao Hongchen, whose martial soul is the three-legged golden toad, can devour rare metals to improve himself, but he cannot accommodate metals into his body."

"Even if your pattern can allow metal to be integrated into the body like soul bones, the specific effect is still a question mark."

"Teacher Xuan, you will understand after I finish."

Huo Yuhao didn’t know much about spirit forging and soul forging, which had never appeared before, but as long as the settings of Douluo Dalu were applicable, there would definitely be a chance to solve the problem of energy overload.

"So, could you please trouble Teacher Xuan to add a linked soul guide array to my design? It would be very troublesome to rework this kind of complex soul guide device later."

"You brat." Xuan Ziwen scolded with a smile.

"Forget it, I'll add it to you. The technique of combining the linked soul guide array and the amplification array is not known by many eighth-level soul guides. It is considered the core secret of Mingde Hall. Don't expose it."

Huo Yuhao assured: "At least it won't be completed in a short time. By the time I use it, it will be at least in the Spirit Master Competition. By then, Xuan Ziwen will naturally not have to worry about being exposed."

After getting Huo Yuhao's assurance, Xuan Ziwen picked up the blueprint again and added the patterns of the linked soul guide formation on it.

"The linked soul guide array needs to be fine-tuned according to the specific situation. Now that you haven't given me the rest, I can only reserve the necessary parts in advance. When your complete design comes out, come back to me and I will personally fill in the remaining structure for you."

After saying that, Xuan Ziwen handed the revised drawing to Huo Yuhao.

"This soul guide is only at level six. In that case, you can just complete the last step with me tonight. It's been a while since we last met, so I can take this opportunity to check if your soul guide making skills have declined."

Huo Yuhao nodded, took out the spiritual alloy that he had prepared long ago and began to engrave it.

What metal is this?
The bright white color is a very rare color. In addition, it can be used as a material for armor, so its hardness and toughness have certain requirements.

In addition, in order to create a soul guide with spiritual attributes, it must also have a certain affinity for spiritual attributes.

From the visual observation of these data, Xuan Ziwen was unable to equate them with any rare metals in his memory.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao once again took out rare metals that he had never seen before, Xuan Ziwen finally confirmed that Huo Yuhao definitely had some skills that he had not yet demonstrated.

Perhaps, Huo Yuhao’s crazy idea really has a chance to become a reality?

Under the carving of the Blade of the Living Guardian, a silver-white helmet gradually took shape in Huo Yuhao's hands.

As the details are carved, not only does the silver-white helmet reveal exquisite patterns, but the core magic circle patterns inside are also gradually revealed.

"Your skills are good. You can still engrave such a complicated combination of core arrays with ease. If it weren't for your lack of soul power, you might have been able to complete the engraving of a seventh-level core array."

In other words, even when Xuan Ziwen was a sixth-level soul engineer, he might not be at the same level as Huo Yuhao.

What’s more, Xuan Ziwen’s soul power was over sixty levels back then, while Huo Yuhao is only a soul master now.

The quality of this soul power is worthy of Shrek Academy.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, two and a half hours had passed, and Huo Yuhao finally completed the production of this soul guide.

Looking at the exquisite silver-white helmet in his hand, Huo Yuhao could not help but be satisfied.

Which man can refuse to wear armor and fight on the battlefield?

Huo Yuhao couldn't wait to summon his martial spirit and put the helmet on his head with excitement and nervousness.

As the soul power and mental power connected, the helmet seemed to melt into liquid and slowly merged into Huo Yuhao's brain.

Feeling this strange touch, Huo Yuhao's heart beat violently.

If the magic array that merged into his body had not been provided by Alex, if it had been someone else, Huo Yuhao would have definitely found someone else to conduct an experiment instead of being the first guinea pig himself.

Xuan Ziwen was not so exaggerated. In his opinion, Huo Yuhao must have conducted some experiments before he dared to use the soul guide array provided by others.

Who could have thought that Huo Yuhao, this reckless man, would use himself as an experiment?

Even so, Xuan Ziwen was excited to see the rare metal slowly blending into Huo Yuhao's head as if it were a living thing. This scene was enough to be recorded as a milestone in the development of the soul guide.

"It must succeed."

Huo Yuhao and Xuan Ziwen shouted at the same time.
