Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 72: The Concept of Battle Armor, Life Spirit Forging
In the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, in a small wooden house next to the Poseidon Pavilion.

"Teacher, do I pass the test?"

Qiangu Qitian supported his head with one hand, and a pen was turning rapidly on the fingertips of the other hand.

His eyes were on Yali who was carefully marking the test papers.

Qiangu Qitian never imagined that after traveling through time, there would be a day when he would have to take an exam with a pen.

I wrote test papers for more than ten years before traveling through time, and I still have to write test papers after traveling through time. So, didn’t I travel through time in vain?

Of course, this is not something you can say, after all, the teacher who makes the test paper is right in front of you.

Yali looked carefully at the contents of the paper.

The written results were almost identical to the explanations in the textbooks she gave; this was a "true textbook-level answer."

In addition, the handwriting is neat and at the same time retains his own writing style, which makes people feel refreshed.

The correct answer plus pleasing handwriting is like icing on the cake.

Yali, who was grading the papers, couldn't help but smile.

"Xiaotian, you are great. You can finish reading three books in just two days."

Although Yali told Qiangu Qitian directly that only the content of the first chapter would be tested, the last few questions were basically beyond the scope of the exam, but Qiangu Qitian still gave perfect answers.

This also means that Qiangu Qitian was not limited to the scope given by Yali, but had carefully studied the entire book.

"With such a good memory, I estimate that your mental strength should be over 500."

Qiangu Qitian replied: "Teacher, my current spiritual power is 3,800 points, which is already the late stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm."

"Late Spiritual Sea Realm?!" Yali's beautiful eyes were filled with shock, "You should be only ten years old now."

Qiangu Qitian nodded, affirming Yali's words.

It's no wonder that Yali was so surprised. For a normal soul master to reach the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, his spiritual power must be at least at the Soul Emperor level. Because for most soul masters, the spiritual power of the Spirit Abyss Realm is already their limit.

Qiangu Qitian, who is only ten years old and has a soul power of over thirty levels, has already surpassed seventy percent of soul masters.

Qiangu Qitian did not react too much to Yali's surprise, because during the test, his other teacher Leng Yaoju had the same expression.

In addition to the natural increase in mental strength brought about by aging, forging is the most important method of practice used by Qiangu Qitian to enhance his mental strength, without a doubt.

The wonderful feeling that he got from hammering metal with his mental power was something that he didn't get when he was cultivating his soul power.

After three years of learning forging with Zhenhua, Qiangu Qitian has mastered spiritual forging like the tip of his hand.

By the way, there is another good news.

A few months ago, Qiangu Qitian's forging teacher, Pan Heng, finally forged the first piece of soul-forging metal that incorporated his own talents.

He has officially entered the ranks of holy craftsmen.

"You really deserve the title of genius. No wonder your grandfather treats you like a treasure."

Yali waved her right hand in her storage soul guide, and three golden leaves appeared on her white palm.

The veins and texture of each leaf are very clear, and you can faintly see a halo flowing between them, as if they were alive.

The breath of life energy emanating from the leaves is so abundant that just smelling it can prolong your life.

Yali stretched out her hand and handed three leaves to Qiangu Qitian: "These are three pieces of essence that fell from the Ancient Tree of Life. They are very precious. Only a hundred pieces fall every sixty years. The life energy contained in them will be of great help in improving your perception of life energy."

Scarcity makes things valuable. There are only a hundred pieces in sixty years. With so many high-level people in Shrek Academy to share, Yali must not have many of these spiritual objects in her hands now.

Qiangu Qitian solemnly took the essence from Yali:

"Thank you teacher."

Yali smiled and said, "You and I are now master and disciple after all, why should we be so distant?"

"That's what the teacher said."

"By the way, teacher, when I passed the outer courtyard just now, why did it feel like there were so many fewer students?"

"Oh, them. Shrek Academy is having their final exams recently. I guess they are already on their way."

The final exam of Shrek Academy is a nightmare for the federal government.

Federal laws are simply unable to control the students of Shrek Academy, and local law enforcement agencies do not have the courage to detain Shrek students.

After all, there was once a city's federal police department that arrested a Shrek student who was taking a "final exam" on charges of disturbing the peace.

But before the police station in that city could send him to the court for trial, a second-level battle armor master arrived at the police station first.

Since then, the federal government has rarely intervened in this matter.

Qiangu Qitian has only one evaluation of this phenomenon.

Suicide.

……

"Teacher, why hasn't Senior Brother come back to practice with me?"

In the training room of the Spirit Transferring Pagoda headquarters, Gu Yuena, who had just finished her training, supported her chin with both hands and looked blankly at Leng Yaozhu in front of her.

Qiangu Qitian hasn't come to Leng Yaoju for three or four days. Gu Yuena, who had been practicing with Qiangu Qitian, always felt that something was missing around her.

After a long while, Gu Yuena still didn't get a response, so she raised her eyebrows and looked.

He found that his teacher Leng Yaozhu had dull eyes and seemed to be in a daze.

"teacher……"

Gu Yuena stretched out a hand and shook Leng Yaozhu's calf wrapped in black stockings, and the latter came back to her senses.

"Ah?! Na'er, what's wrong?"

Gu Yuena was somewhat helpless:
"Teacher, are you thinking about my brother too?"

"No...no." When her thoughts were exposed by her disciple, Leng Yaoju denied it immediately, but her slowness in words still betrayed her inner feelings.

Ever since accepting Qiangu Qitian as his disciple, Leng Yaoju has never gone without seeing Qiangu Qitian for so many days in a row.

Her heart had never felt so empty.

Leng Yaozhu tried to recall her life before she accepted Qiangu Qitian as her disciple, but those long and lonely days seemed to become increasingly vague in her memory.

When people repeat the same things day after day, they become numb.

That’s not right. At least when Qiangu Qitian was around, Leng Yaozhu wouldn’t have this feeling.

Blood attraction?

Leng Yaozhu could never forget her loss of composure on the day when her Eternal Universe Spirit awakened.

maybe……

"Hey~" Leng Yaozhu's tone was somewhat resentful, "Your senior brother has a new teacher and has forgotten about me, his old teacher."

Gu Yuena was also somewhat dissatisfied, and echoed from the side: "That's right, Senior Brother is too heartless."

"Forget it, let him go. He will come back eventually..."

Leng Yaozhu subconsciously placed her hand on the silver necklace on her right wrist and rubbed it gently.

……

After saying goodbye to Yali, Qiangu Qitian took Qiangu Ming directly to Shrek's soul guide train station, preparing to go to Tiandou City.

With the three pieces of essence relics given by Yali, Qiangu Qitian is 100% sure to complete the spiritual forging and become a level 5 blacksmith.

If the spirit forging can be completed, the production of the battle armor of the ancient and the sky will be put on the agenda. According to the theory of Mu Ye, the leader of the body sect in Dou San, the battle armor and the mecha can be superimposed.

The mecha is like the outer layer of the battle armor. If they are well combined, the overall combat effectiveness of the soul master can be improved.

And in the Ultimate Douluo era ten thousand years later, this theory was proven to be feasible.

Powerful soul masters can control mechas while wearing battle armor, not only traveling through the universe, but also exploring unstable wormholes in space.

Qiangu Qitian was not so stupid as not to choose a better plan when it was in front of him, but chose to follow the routine.

After all, he still belongs to the reformists.

Some traditionalists will always be swept into the trash as time goes by.

Moreover, Qiangu Qitian has an even bolder guess.

Since battle armor and mecha can complement each other, why can't I combine the two when designing?

Over the past few years, Qiangu Qitian has read many books on mecha design, and occasionally ask Leng Yaoju, whose second job is a mecha designer, for advice on some difficult problems.

Combining the designs of exoskeletons and power armor from science fiction novels in previous lives, the initial draft of the design drawings for Qiangu Qitian's battle armor has been completed.

This set of battle armor is designed into two types: light and heavy.

Lightweight battle armor uses more metal than traditional battle armor, and looks more like sci-fi metal.

In the heavy-armored form, the size of the entire battle armor can grow to five and a half meters, just meeting the standard of a small mecha.

Because this was an unprecedented first-time production, Qiangu Qitian had no idea what the final effect would be. The price of the metals required was close to 50 million federal coins.

For an individual, it is impossible to spend so much money to try something new and uncertain.

But Qiangu Qitian is different. Who says Qiangu’s family is rich?
If I, Qiangu Qitian, don't use me, won't that old bitch Qiangu Dongfeng take me away to support the Holy Spirit Church?
Of course, you can't spend money recklessly.

Qiangu Qitian plans to go back today to finish designing the final power soul guide system, and then go to his teacher Leng Yaoju tomorrow to ask whether this idea is feasible.

Three hours later, Qiangu Qitian had arrived at the headquarters building of the Blacksmith Association.

Before coming, Qiangu Qitian had already asked his forging teacher Zhenhua if he had time.

After all, today is not the agreed study day.

As a master craftsman, Zhenhua is very busy, so Qiangu Qitian has to follow his schedule.

Fortunately, Zhenhua is fine today.

During the communication, Zhenhua learned that Qiangu Qitian would be testing fifth-level blacksmiths today, and he also expressed his anticipation for this.

Qiangu Qitian, wearing the four-star blacksmith badge, was not stopped after entering the headquarters building of the Blacksmith Association.

As the youngest fourth-level blacksmith and a disciple of Zhenhua, he has become a household name here.

After reaching level 5 blacksmith, there is no need to take assessment at the Blacksmith Association.

A blacksmith only needs to bring his completed spiritual forging metal to the Blacksmith Association for testing, and he can be promoted to a level five blacksmith.

The fifth-level blacksmith is the watershed of forging. Only the blacksmith who has mastered spiritual forging can be said to truly possess his own spirituality.

If the promotion from a hundred forgings to a thousand forgings is from zero to one, then the promotion from a thousand forgings to spirit forging is from one to a thousand, or even ten thousand!
From the current number of registered blacksmiths in the Blacksmith Association, it can be seen that although the overall structure is pyramid-shaped, it is suddenly cut in half at the "pyramid" between level 4 and level 5 blacksmiths. The number of level 5 blacksmiths is only one percent of that of level 4 blacksmiths.

The higher you go, the fewer people there are.

Qiangu Qitian found Zhenhua in the forging room where he usually practiced.

"Xiaotian, the metal has been prepared for you." Zhenhua smiled and became more and more satisfied with Qiangu Qitian the more he looked at him.

The proud Zhenhua had to admit in his heart that Qiangu Qitian's forging talent might indeed be superior to his.

Moreover, as far as he knew, Qiangu Qitian's talent in cultivation was also terrifyingly strong...

Qiangu Qitian first saluted Zhenhua, then stood up and said:

"Teacher, just wait and see. I won't let you down."

disappointment……

Zhenhua can't hold it anymore, the brat is being too arrogant!

"Are you ready?"

Qiangu Qitian came to the forging table, on which were placed more than a dozen common metals that could be forged with a single spirit.

Zhenhua originally planned to teach Qiangu Qitian the Lingduan, but he did not expect Qiangu Qitian's comprehension was so high that he could realize the Lingduan on his own in such a short period of time.

Qiangu Qitian chose the blue copper that Zhenhua used to demonstrate spiritual forging for him. This kind of metal is of medium to high difficulty in spiritual forging, and is a lie detector to test whether a blacksmith can truly spiritual forge.

While the blue copper was being heated, Qiangu Qitian directly took out a piece of the essence of the ancient tree of life from Wushuang and put it into his mouth.

Rich and pure life energy exploded in Qiangu Qitian's mouth, and the refreshing energy flowed through his esophagus into his limbs and bones.

If it weren't for the essence and remains bestowed by Yali, Qiangu Qitian might have had the confidence to successfully forge his spirit, but he would most likely have to spit out a few mouthfuls of blood like Tang Wulin before he could barely complete it.

Of course, with the special ability of "Blood Bull" that Qiangu Qitian has cultivated over the past few days, he will be able to recover in just a few minutes.

Watching the countdown of the stopwatch reach zero, Qiangu Qitian took out the blue copper from the furnace, fixed it, and started forging directly.

Still seven hammers were struck, and a three-foot light rose from the blue copper, completing the first promotion.

After these days of practice, Qiangu Qitian's success rate in refining the first level of Qianduan has stabilized at around 94%, which can be said to be a miracle.

As the forging hammers in both hands rose and fell, a five-foot golden light rose again from the blue copper!

Thousands of forged products!
This is the current limit of the world.

Next comes the most important phase of spiritual training.

Because the forging hammer is attached with the spiritual power of the ancient Qi Tian, ​​the soul power consumed by each fall of the hammer is still within his tolerance.

When the spiritual energy that began to nurture life was born in Lan Yuntong's body, Qiangu Qitian's eyes became brighter.

He did not dare to slack off at all. While maintaining the current forging frequency, golden light shone from his body.

His martial spirit just hung quietly behind him.

This was the first time that Zhenhua saw Qiangu Qitian’s martial soul. At the first moment, he was attracted by this extremely gorgeous martial soul.

He had seen many powerful soul masters' spirits, including some Extreme Douluo, but none of them had ever given him such a strange feeling.

"The time has come!"

As the signs of the birth of the spirit became more and more obvious, each blow of Qiangu Qitian's hammer was covered with a layer of green light!

That is invaluable life energy!

Zhenhua's eyes widened when he saw this. Is his disciple so rich?

The life energy begins to guide the gestation of life in the blue copper through the power of origin, at the moment it is about to hatch.

Three dragon souls flew out directly from the Panlong Stick behind Qiangu Qitian.

Purple, purple, and green soul rings rose from under his feet at the same time.

The golden and blue dragon souls involuntarily intertwined, and the golden and blue lights intertwined, reflecting on the blue copper.

The green dragon soul only pounced towards the blue copper!
Zhenhua, who was standing aside, had shock in his eyes.
