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

Chapter 257 Invitation Again

"Could it be that...hiss!"

Thinking of the function of the Nine-Transformation Soul Ritual, Xuan Ziwen quickly realized what Huo Yuhao wanted to do?

"You want to use the battle armor parts as nodes of the Nine-Transformation Soul Instrument to increase your own power?!"

Compared to the linked amplification soul guide matrix that Mingdetang had conceived but failed because the user could not withstand the tremendous pressure, the idea proposed by Huo Yuhao this time was unprecedented.

Because the Nine-Transformation Soul Ritual was created from the very beginning by imitating the Seven-in-One Combination Skill, although it was unable to release the pseudo-martial spirit's true form like the Seven-in-One Combination Skill, the effect it ultimately achieved was not much different from the Seven-in-One Combination Skill.

In everyone's opinion, this soul guide is a soul guide for team use.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, regarded each piece of battle armor as a node in the Nine-Transformation Soul Ceremony, which progressed layer by layer and ultimately provided a huge boost to the wearer of the battle armor.

The strength of this increase is enough to allow seven to nine soul kings to unleash the true form of their pseudo-martial spirits.

The linked amplification soul guide matrix allows Huo Yuhao to possess the soul power quality and overall quality comparable to that of a Soul Sage. The Nine-Transformation Soul Ceremony allows Huo Yuhao to unleash attack capabilities comparable to those of a Soul Sage using his martial soul's true form.

I would like to ask, by that time, what is the difference between Huo Yuhao and a Soul Sage?

"Teacher Xuan, now all we need is you to complete the missing linkage soul guide matrix. I have already prepared the required rare metals and other things."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao took out a large pile of metal, which was the melt-forged spiritual alloy that Huo Yuhao had specially prepared for himself. It was a three-in-one melt-forged metal composed mainly of Silver Moonstone and Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, with Chaos Silver as the auxiliary.

“These metals…”

Xuan Ziwen touched his chin.

Huo Yuhao seemed to have some strange developments, such as the novel use of electricity. Now it seemed that there were also new rare metals? No one knew where they came from.

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Xuan Ziwen is interested in these metals?"

Xuan Ziwen said frankly: "Soul mentors are always interested in new things. The unknown means new directions."

"I didn't bring too much of this metal, I just brought some for making battle armor. However, the remaining part after making the battle armor will be given to Teacher Xuan."

Xuan Ziwen said politely: "How can I feel comfortable doing that?"

After some pleasantries, the two quickly turned their attention to the making of the battle armor.

The master and disciple worked overtime and it took them three hours to complete the production of the battle armor.

You should know that this battle armor is only equivalent to a fifth-level soul guide, but the various internal functions have to overlap, causing the difficulty of production to soar exponentially. Among them, there are fusion arrays and metal functional arrays that both master and apprentice are not very proficient in.

Xuan Ziwen handed the torso and limbs he had made to Huo Yuhao and said, "First, take off the head armor that you fused with before and replace it with this new one."

"Ok."

Huo Yuhao nodded, silently controlled the head armor to float out of his body, took it off, and replaced it with the latest battle armor for fusion.

After integrating the battle armor from top to bottom, Huo Yuhao summoned the battle armor as soon as possible.

Starting from the head, then to the shoulders, torso, wrists, and calves, a total of eight parts of the battle armor slowly emerged, fitting tightly to Huo Yuhao's body.

"Uh……"

Huo Yuhao felt the condition of his body and his expression changed slightly.

At this moment, it was no problem for Huo Yuhao to directly summon the battle armor, but there was a problem when adding clothes.

The school uniform of the Sun-Moon Empire was put on top of the battle armor, which made it look a little bloated. Huo Yuhao quickly ran to the bathroom to change into a set of close-fitting training clothes.

Xuan Ziwen looked at Huo Yuhao's embarrassed expression and said with a smile, "It seems that there is still room for improvement in the use of battle armor."

"For example, adding a close-fitting inner armor or something like that?"

"Teacher Xuan." Huo Yuhao walked out with a dark face.

At the same time, he took out a full-length mirror and placed it in front of him, looking at the battle armor.

The battle armor is mainly white with ice blue as embellishments. In the gaps that the battle armor cannot cover, there are black underwear.

As for the texture, there is nothing worth saying. After all, it is still the first generation version. It is mainly used to realize various functions. In order to save trouble, it was polished and it is smooth without any texture.

Even when making the clothes, the two laymen did not consider the comfort of wearing, let alone adapting the clothes to their desired fit.

Although Huo Yuhao had some understanding of ancient armor in his previous life, he still faced many problems when designing battle armor.

For example, ancient armor was mostly made of woven armor plates, woven one section at a time like fish scales.

Obviously, a soul master's battle armor cannot be made like this.

Because the internal soul guide array must be continuously engraved on rare metals, and because the soul guide array is extremely complex, there are also restrictions on the size of the armor.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao could only choose to engrave the soul guide array on eight parts of his body: head, shoulders, wristbands, torso, and calves.

In other words, the battle armor made by Huo Yuhao can only cover these ranges.

However, these parts are the main collision areas during combat, so using battle armor to increase defense is the right choice.

As for the thighs and upper arms, they are partially protected by the battle skirt derived from the torso and the derived parts of the shoulder armor.

No matter how many there are, it is better to just use the soul guide shield. Anyway, it is not the main part that collides with the enemy.

Perhaps it could evolve towards full body armor in the future, but for now it was necessary to sacrifice some of the effects in order to engrave the soul guide array.

"When you have time in the future, can you consider carving some cooler patterns on the battle armor? In addition, can the appearance of the battle armor be closer to ordinary clothes?"

After looking around, Huo Yuhao felt that the current battle armor was not good-looking at all and was far inferior to the comics he read back then.

Both are ice-type battle armors, but the two-character battle armor Tianbing that Wu Changkong wears in the comics is far superior to this one. Moreover, the battle armor in the comics does not conflict with the clothes, but instead sets off and complements each other.

Xuan Ziwen said anxiously: "Don't think about whether it looks good or not, just try to see if the battle armor works well."

"understood."

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and activated the soul guidance array inside the battle armor.

The amplification magic array was activated first. Under the combined effect of eight level five amplification magic arrays, all kinds of energy in Huo Yuhao's body were highly condensed. The originally overflowing energy suddenly lost a large part and turned into soul power with a condensation level close to that of a Soul Saint.

Then, the metal-powered soul guide formation, driven by soul power, burned metal to provide a large amount of golden soul power, which then flowed to the Nine-Transformation Soul Ceremony and turned into pure chaotic soul power.

Part of the chaotic soul power continued to flow along the Nine-Transformation Soul Instrument, gradually moving closer to the torso, allowing Huo Yuhao to use it, allowing Huo Yuhao to wield a huge amount of soul power with every attack.

The other part merged into Huo Yuhao's body, providing him with energy continuously.

The strong soul power that was integrated into Huo Yuhao's body caused a huge load on his body because of his physical fitness. It could not be mobilized at will, but it could be injected into the soul ring to release soul skills. The soul skills released by this were truly close to the soul skills released by the Soul Saint.

"Try this invincible shield!"

Xuan Ziwen quickly threw a level seven invincible shield to Huo Yuhao.

Compared to other ways of testing Huo Yuhao's abilities, letting Huo Yuhao activate the seventh-level soul guide shield is safer and more stable than any other method.

Although the Invincible Golden Body can only last for three seconds, the soul power requirements for triggering the Invincible Golden Body are extremely harsh. To activate the seventh-level Invincible Golden Body, one must have the soul power of a Soul Saint.

Huo Yuhao took the invincible protective shield and mobilized the soul power provided by the Nine-Transformation Soul Instrument to input it into the invincible golden body. The next moment, the golden body released light and a golden protective shield suddenly appeared.

Xuan Ziwen's eyes lit up, he took a step forward and gently stroked the golden body's shield, and the Soul Douluo-level soul power in his body suddenly pressed towards Huo Yuhao.

"Not bad, not bad. Being able to support the seventh-level invincible shield, it is indeed possible to fight against the Soul Saint."

Huo Yuhao’s weak voice rang out: “Teacher Xuan, stop pressing me. I can’t take it anymore.”

Xuan Ziwen then noticed that Huo Yuhao's skin was beginning to turn red, which were the bloodstains caused by the capillaries bursting because they could no longer withstand such tremendous pressure.

Xuan Ziwen retracted his right hand, took out a box of healing medicine and threw it to Huo Yuhao.

"Sure enough, is it a bit difficult for a Soul Sect to bear such pressure? However, the design of the battle armor is obviously not a big problem. Without the battle armor to share the pressure, how could a Soul Sect bear the impact of the Soul Saint's soul power?"

"But after you become a Soul King, you should be able to withstand this pressure more easily. Then you will be able to truly use your battle armor to fight against opponents of higher levels."

Huo Yuhao took the medicine from Xuan Ziwen, felt the vitality contained in it, took out a tablet and swallowed it.

For Huo Yuhao, who possessed the gold of life, the vitality provided by this pill was really not enough, but it was a token of his teacher's kindness after all, so he took one pill symbolically.

Look, after just a few minutes, the bloodstains on the skin had almost disappeared.

"The appearance of this battle armor will give future soul master competitions something to watch."

Xuan Ziwen picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, then said leisurely: "Soul Saint-level combat power is also extremely rare in the Soul Master Competition of all generations. It usually appears in the form of a seven-in-one combination skill or a martial soul fusion skill."

"In another year, I'm afraid you Shrek will win the championship again."

"Hard to say."

Huo Yuhao said calmly: "According to the information I have learned, the Sun Moon Empire will take action in the next Soul Master Competition and kick off the war."

Xuan Ziwen's pupils shrank.

"The Soul Master Competition is such a great opportunity. The young elites of the entire continent will gather here."

Clang.

The cup fell to the ground, and Xuan Ziwen looked at Huo Yuhao in disbelief. "Are you saying that the Sun-Moon Empire wants to take this opportunity to capture all the participants of the Soul Master Competition?"

Huo Yuhao said in a cold voice: “If I were Xu Tianran, this would indeed be a unique opportunity. Even in the worst case scenario, if the frontal battlefield fell into a stalemate and lasted for a few decades, the number of Titled Douluo on Douluo Continent would be almost gone.”

"In a better situation, using these people as bait to capture all the strong men who come to rescue us is an excellent strategy. With the fixed-type soul guide shells, we can take away countless Douluo strong men in one go."

"How could this be so..."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's speculation, Xuan Ziwen's face was filled with disappointment.

Xuan Ziwen has always believed that soul guides are meant to change lives for the better, not only the lives of soul masters, but also the lives of ordinary people.

For example, a sealed baby bottle. Rather than being beneficial to soul masters, a sealed baby bottle can truly allow civilians without soul power to enjoy the convenience of soul guide technology.

This is also Xuan Ziwen's original intention for researching sealed baby bottles.

It was obvious that Xuan Ziwen did not want to see a war between soul guides.

"Teacher Xuan, the Sun-Moon Empire has already become the center of chaos. Even Mingde Hall will enter war mode and prepare for the upcoming war."

Huo Yuhao looked at Xuan Ziwen seriously and said, "So, Mr. Xuan, are you interested in joining us and making our dreams come true?"

Looking at Huo Yuhao's serious face, Xuan Ziwen hesitated rarely.

"Wait a little longer. If the Sun-Moon Empire really does what you said..."

Xuan Ziwen took a deep breath and said weakly: "I will join you."

"Okay, if you have made up your mind, Teacher Xuan, please use this to contact me and I will send someone to pick you up."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao handed Xuan Ziwen an iron plate, on which was a spiritual mark of Huo Yuhao.

Soul-nourishing magic array?

Xuan Ziwen played with the iron plate and easily recognized the soul guide array engraved on it.

And the spiritual power emanating from it.

"Okay, it's almost dawn, you should go back and rest for a while."

Xuan Ziwen waved his hand and started to chase him away, "Look at the dark circles under your eyes. If you don't get enough rest, you might die suddenly. It will be troublesome if Shrek investigates you."

After seeing Huo Yuhao off, Xuan Ziwen put all the debris generated by the production of the soul guide in the room into the soul guide and looked at a blueprint with a dull expression.

That's a drawing for sealing a milk bottle.

It is also one of Xuan Ziwen’s hard work over the years.

Mingde Hall is the most advanced soul guide technology research institute in the Sun-Moon Empire. Not only is it difficult to enter, it is even more difficult to get out.

Feeling the eighty-ninth level of soul power that had already been reached in his body, Xuan Ziwen had already made a decision in his heart.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao returned to the dormitory but did not sleep. Instead, he was thinking about something very important.

That is, should we knock on the bamboo pole before leaving, as in the original book?

This time the extortion is not targeted at Huo Yuhao like the previous fool, who could enjoy most of the benefits. Instead, it will completely infuriate Jing Hongchen and even make Jing Hongchen commission the evil soul master to take back the resources extorted by Huo Yuhao.

When the time comes and Shrek’s help is needed, most of the extorted resources will have to be handed over, and the resources that Huo Yuhao can embezzle are limited.

However, there was one material in there that Huo Yuhao cared about very much, and that was the silver dragon scale.

This material may be used in the production of battle armor in the future. It is even possible that Silver Moon Stone will need Silver Dragon's materials to upgrade. Otherwise, the soul guide shield provided by Silver Moon Stone can only be used at the level of Soul Douluo, that is, Soul Emperor, and two-word battle armor.

"In that case, I might as well extort some money from you. I can also give a copy of what I have researched to the Tang Sect, which shows that I care about the Tang Sect."
