Douluo: The villain system, intercepting Tianmeng Ice Silkworm

Chapter 79 Customized One-Word Battle Armor

Soon, nine figures of different statures and wearing ghost-face masks walked slowly in from the gate.

Their appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention, and the atmosphere in the entire hall became a little more solemn.

These nine people are the members of the organizing committee of this Soul Master Competition. Not only do they possess extremely high attainments as Soul Masters, they also hold absolute power over the competition.

Therefore, all the 130 contestants present were in awe of them and no one dared to provoke them easily.

The leading man in red had a stern look as he scanned the contestants in the hall. Seeing that everyone was present, he announced in a deep voice, "Alright, the competition officially begins.

You have one hour to perform, so start now."

His voice was low and powerful, carrying an invisible sense of oppression, making everyone present feel nervous.

As soon as he finished speaking, the contestants took action and quickly picked out the metal materials inside the storage soul guide on the table.

In the Soul Master Competition, a high level does not necessarily mean a high ranking.

A top-level second-level soul guide is likely to rank higher than an ordinary third-level soul guide.

Of course, if the level gap is too large, that’s another matter.

Meng Hongchen sat in his seat, his eyes swept over the metal materials in the storage soul guide, and his brows furrowed slightly.

She found that the quality of these metals was not very high and far from meeting her requirements.

As a fifth-level soul engineer, she needed some rarer and more precious materials to create a soul guide that would stand out.

Thinking of this, Meng Hongchen stretched out his right hand, the purple bracelet on his wrist lit up slightly, and a fist-sized golden crystal appeared on the table.

This crystal is golden all over and emits dazzling light, as if it contains infinite energy.

Its appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention, and a low murmur of discussion suddenly sounded in the hall.

"Golden crystal! Isn't that the most crucial material for making an invincible shield?"

“That’s right, I heard that this material is extremely rare, I didn’t expect that she could actually take it out!

"It looks like she's going to create an invincible shield this time. What a big deal!"

Listening to the discussions coming from all around, Meng Hongchen looked calm, not affected at all.

She knew that in order to stand out from the 130 contestants, she had to create an extremely rare and powerful soul guide.

And the invincible shield is one of them.

However, creating an invincible shield is extremely difficult, and even a fifth-level soul engineer like her cannot guarantee 100% success.

In other words, she was taking a gamble! If she failed, there wouldn't be enough time left for her to make a second one.

At the same time, Poseidon, who was standing not far from Meng Hongchen, did not take action immediately like the others.

He crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, his eyes lit up slightly, and it was obvious that he had an idea.

Afterwards, he randomly picked out a few pieces of decent metal from the storage soul guide, and took a few pieces of black iron, preparing to use them to make the soul guide's shell.

This time, Poseidon plans to make a second-level soul guide.

Although he has reached the level of a fifth-level soul engineer, he does not intend to show his full strength in this competition.

For him, making a basic second-level soul-guided pistol was a piece of cake. Even including the carving of the three core magic arrays, it took less than half an hour to complete.

After completing the work, Poseidon did not continue to be busy like others, but leisurely opened the system panel.

He remembered that the system store for this month should have been refreshed, so he could check to see if there was anything good worth buying.

【This month's system products:】

[1: Hundred-Year Soul Bone: 1000 points] [2: Level 3000 Melee Soul Guide: points]

【3:……】

[10: Customized One-Word Battle Armor: 50000 Points]

When he saw the last item, Poseidon's eyes suddenly lit up.

Battle armor is a great item! It can bring extremely terrifying improvements to the user. Although he cannot fully control it with his current strength, it is not a bad idea to purchase it in advance for research.

Thinking of this, Poseidon had an idea and directly spent 50000 points to buy this custom one-word battle armor.

[Ding! Purchase successful, 50000 points deducted, current remaining points 308000.]

"But what the hell is a custom battle armor?" Poseidon asked with some confusion.

[Host, customization means you can change the appearance of your battle armor at will.] The system explained.

"I see." Poseidon nodded, and became more interested in this battle armor.

However, now is obviously not a good time to take it out for research, so he can only suppress the urge in his heart and continue to sit there quietly waiting for the end of the game.

Poseidon's behavior quickly attracted the attention of the organizing committee.

Several organizing committee members wearing ghost face masks turned their eyes to him, frowning slightly.

Apparently, they didn't expect anyone to finish the race so quickly.

However, they soon felt relieved. After all, if it was done so quickly, the quality would definitely not be that good.

Therefore, they did not pay too much attention to Poseidon's performance, but turned their attention back to other contestants.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more tense.

The contestants were fully focused on their works, the carving knives in their hands quickly moving across the metal surface, and complex soul guide arrays gradually took shape.

The air was filled with the scent of metal and soul power, making even breathing seem heavy.

Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Meng Hongchen's forehead.

Her hands carved quickly on the golden crystal, and each stroke was extremely precise, as if she was carving a work of art.

However, the difficulty of making the invincible shield was far beyond her imagination. Even though she had tried her best, she still felt a little overwhelmed.

"There is only one last step..." Meng Hongchen gritted his teeth, paused slightly with the carving knife in his hand, and then slashed it fiercely.

A dazzling golden light burst out from the golden crystal, illuminating the entire hall.

However, at this critical moment, Meng Hongchen's wrist shook slightly, and the carving knife deviated from the predetermined trajectory.

"Oh no!" Meng Hongchen's heart sank and his face turned pale in an instant.

She knew that she had failed. The production of the invincible shield was extremely difficult, and if there was a mistake, all the previous efforts would be wasted.

And the remaining time was not enough for her to make a new one.

At the same time, Poseidon was still sitting leisurely in his seat, his eyes occasionally glancing at the contestants around him.

His second-level soul-guided pistol had already been completed and was now lying quietly on his desk, emitting a faint light.

Finally, one hour was up.

The man in red stepped forward again and announced in a deep voice, "Time is up, the competition is over! Contestants, please stop what you are doing and await the judging results."

As his words fell, the atmosphere in the hall froze instantly.

The contestants stopped what they were doing and looked at the organizing committee nervously.
