Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 31 Battle Armor
"Next item, reaction test." Wu Zhangkong's gaze lingered on Lin Xingyu for a long time before he spoke slowly.

The test results were no surprise, with Lin Xingyu taking first place, Xie Xie second, followed by Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi.

When it came to the speed test, Xie Xie was hit hard. As a quick attack type, he lost to Lin Xingyu and couldn't even keep his advantage.

The subsequent physical tests were a huge shock to everyone in Class Zero. Lin Xingyu unsurprisingly took first place in every category, with a clear advantage; Tang Wulin firmly held second place. Zhang Yangzi, on the other hand, placed last in most tests, a truly dismal performance.

In the early stages of martial arts, the focus is on pure self-strength, without complicated means, and the numbers are there.

Once Lin Xingyu added his martial spirit, his mechanics and stats were perfect. After the test, everyone stared at Lin Xingyu as if he were a monster. Wu Zhangkong was also secretly amazed. He knew Lin Xingyu had extraordinary physical qualities, but he had never expected him to be so well-rounded. His martial spirit must have a great background. Such a talent is rare in decades. Perhaps he can...

The one who was hit the hardest was undoubtedly Zhang Yangzi. He was at the bottom of the heap in almost every aspect, even inferior to Tang Wulin and the other two spirit masters. The pride he once felt from defeating them was instantly shattered. Looking back, he felt like a clown.

"Today's test is over. It primarily measured physical ability. Those who aren't doing well don't be discouraged. With practice, you'll improve. Class will be on time this afternoon. Tang Wulin, follow me." Wu Zhangkong said, then left, his back to him. Tang Wulin hurried to follow. Zhang Yangzi and Xie Xie exchanged a glance, their pent-up anger from the promotion match instantly dissipating. Both of them were at the bottom of the class in terms of close combat stamina, a feeling of shared sympathy.

Lin Xingyu stood up, checked the time, and prepared to return to his dorm to meditate. The single suite the school had assigned him was very comfortable. Yesterday, he had set up the room to be suitable for martial spirit cultivation, which had increased his spirit power training by 10%. He expected to break through to level 29 tonight.

Moreover, in this private room, he could also perform metal refining. After greeting the remaining four people, Lin Xingyu walked straight towards his room.

……

After lunch, Lin Xingyu walked into the classroom leisurely. As expected, he was the last one to arrive.

Looking at the students who had already taken their seats, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: These guys are really aggressive. He walked over to sit next to Wang Jinxi, smiling and greeting everyone. After spending the morning together, the relationship between them had obviously eased a lot.

At this time, Wu Zhangkong walked into the classroom with a stern expression, walked steadily to the center of the classroom and stood still.

His gaze, like a sharp blade, swept across the faces of the six students one by one. After hesitating for a moment, Wu Zhangkong said, "Now, I will teach you a meditation method. If your own meditation method is better than mine, there is no need to change."

After that, he began to explain the meditation method. Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie had already learned this method, while the remaining three, Lin Xingyu, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi, all came from soul master families, which was why Wu Zhangkong hesitated to teach it, but he ultimately decided to teach it.

Lin Xingyu possessed his own unique cultivation techniques, while Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi's families also inherited meditation methods, but they all chose to listen carefully. After all, their own families weren't particularly powerful, and the meditation methods taught by Wu Changkong might be even better. Even if they couldn't match their own inheritance, it wouldn't hurt to learn more and broaden their horizons.

An hour later, Wu Zhangkong paused his meditation instruction and said, "You've already memorized the specific meditation method. If you have any questions, you can ask me privately." Wu Zhangkong paused, then continued, "Next, let's talk about mechas!" "Mechas?" Zhang Yangzi couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this something we learned when we got to the advanced department?"

Wu Zhangkong asked, "Are you geniuses? What's the purpose of establishing Class Zero? It's because the normal courses can't keep up with you! If that's the case, why should we teach you step by step? What's the point of establishing Class Zero? Since your talents can keep up, then study hard."

"Mechas originated from war, or rather, war was the greatest driving force behind the development of soul guides."

"With the rapid development of soul guides, mechas have formed two branches."

"The first is to continuously lower the requirements for pilots, making low-level spirit masters as powerful as possible and making mechas more commonplace. Even now, ordinary people can pilot them! The development of spirit guidance arrays, Thousand Forging, Spirit Forging, and Soul Forging have led to advancements in metal materials. A mecha can unleash terrifying combat power while requiring very low levels of piloting power. However, this combat power depends entirely on the mecha's materials and the spirit guidance array."

"The second type is based on amplifying the soul master's own abilities! It was originally developed from the soul guide of the soul master. The stronger the soul master's own ability, the greater the amplification! It is called - battle armor! It is the most perfect combination of soul master and soul guide in this era! In this era, battle armor masters are the most powerful existence. I dare not say that all titled Douluo are battle armor masters. There will always be one or two exceptions, but I dare say that all super Douluo are battle armor masters!"

"A Battle Armor Master is the perfect combination of a top-level Spirit Master and a Spirit Guidance Device! Ordinary people can still unleash terrifying power with super weapons, but the power unleashed by a top-level Spirit Master with super weapons is even more terrifying!"

"The mechas you often see are ordinary mechas. An ordinary person can pilot them, and they won't significantly increase your combat effectiveness. If you want to become a truly powerful warrior, your goal should be to become a Battle Armor Master! This is the mainstream among today's top warriors!"

Battle armor?

Except for Lin Xingyu, everyone else heard of this term for the first time.

"Battle armor is divided into four levels. One-character battle armor generally requires Soul King cultivation, two-character battle armor generally requires Soul Emperor cultivation, three-character battle armor generally requires Soul Sage cultivation, and four-character battle armor generally requires Titled Douluo."

"Generally, a one-word battle armor can increase the soul power of a soul king by twenty levels!"

"Level 20!" Everyone exclaimed!
Wu Zhangkong nodded and said, "That's right, so the Battle Armor Master is the real strong one!"

Lin Xingyu's mecha design skills have reached level 5 thanks to cheating, and his forging skills are at level 4. Mecha manufacturing is only at level 3 due to his soul power, and his mecha maintenance skills are at level 3. He has been laying a solid foundation for becoming a powerful battle armor master in the future.

Time, amidst Wu Changkong's profound and accessible explanations, slipped away quietly and swiftly like a gurgling stream. Each sentence was like the ripples in the stream, accompanying the transfer of knowledge and accelerating the flow of time. Without anyone noticing, one period of time had quietly passed by.
