Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 35 Battle Armor
After listening, Xia Die realized that quite a lot had happened outside of Shrek Academy.

It was expected that Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao would be kicked out.

"Qiu'er, how many of them do you think will survive the clutches of that lich?"

Di Qiu'er said, "I don't know. In the previous life, with you around, out of the seven main team members, it seems that two died in battle, and the rest were seriously or slightly injured. Only three of them were able to fight. In this life, without your help, fate is not on their side. I estimate that even if those three can fight, the impact will be significant, and they will probably be more seriously injured than in the previous life."

"Who knows."

"By the way, Dong'er seems to have said that she will come to Shrek Academy regardless of whether they win or lose. I feel that she will also bring Xiao Xiao with her when she leaves."

"Okay, but Qiu'er, what level are you now?"

"Level 62? What's wrong? I just broke through to Soul Emperor not long ago. Besides, my Martial Soul in this life isn't the Golden Dragon, but the Golden Dragon King."

The Golden Dragon King is no ordinary martial soul; it is a split from the Dragon God, representing power and destruction.

It is estimated that Di Qiu'er and Gu Yuena will be able to bring the Dragon God back to this place.

"Golden Dragon King, are you preparing to recreate the Dragon God?"

"Hmm, just in case? But that one is still being suppressed in the Forbidden Land of Gods. I can use this drop of blood essence to contact that master."

"By the way, what level are you two sisters?"

"I'm level 63, and my sister is level 52."

???

Di Qiu'er pointed at Xia Die and said, "Why did we both break through to Soul Emperor at the same time? Why are you one level higher than me? We are both favored by fate."

…………

"Alright, it's only a matter of one level. Besides, if it really comes down to a fight, even a Soul Saint wouldn't be your match."

After all, the suppression of martial souls is a given, and most beast martial souls, especially dragon-type martial souls, will be directly suppressed.

Gu Yuena and Di Qiu'er, one a Golden Dragon King and the other a Silver Dragon King, are not people that ordinary people can deal with.

While I was thinking, the system issued a task.

[Ding! Join the Sun and Moon Team and go to participate in the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament. Reward: Battle Armor Manufacturing Method and Dragon King Legend Forging Hammer]

【Battle Armor】

This item comes from the Douluo Continent III era. Although the book "Legend of the Dragon King" records how to use the battle armor, the author himself didn't even have a forging hammer.

Instead of making a one-word battle armor, Xia Die went straight for a two-word battle armor.

A one-word Battle Armor Master is merely the initial stage of a Battle Armor Master. Advancing to a two-word Battle Armor Master allows one to name their Battle Armor with two words, making it an integral part of their life and truly a part of their body and martial spirit.

Therefore, the two-word battle armor is my best choice.

The battle armor consists of eleven parts, including the headband, chest armor, shoulder armor, arm armor, gauntlets, forearm armor, waist guard, battle skirt, thigh armor, calf armor, and battle boots.

Moreover, the One-Word Battle Armor requires a five-ring Soul King to create, but there are still requirements; a five-ring Soul King needs to be proficient in Thousand Refinements.

Two-word battle armor requires spirit forging and a cultivation level of six-ring Soul Emperor.

With Xia Die's current cultivation level, she can meet the first requirement, but the problem is spirit forging, which she doesn't know how to do.

Spirit forging, as the name suggests, is about giving metal a spiritual quality and life, turning it into a "living metal".

This metal can connect with a Soul Master's bloodline and can even be integrated into the Soul Master's body.

Metal that has undergone spirit forging is no longer an ordinary substance, but possesses instincts similar to those of a living being, enabling it to form a deeper connection with the Soul Master.

Spirit forging usually requires a Soul Master to have a cultivation level of four rings or higher; Soul Masters with insufficient Soul Power will find it difficult to complete spirit forging.

Moreover, one must also bear the corresponding risks when forging spiritual materials.

Because during the spirit forging process, the blacksmith must maintain constant contact with the metal; once that contact is lost, the metal becomes scrap.

Moreover, failure during the spirit forging process will not only turn the metal into scrap, but may also cause backlash against the blacksmith.

Of course, there are also two special types of spirit forging: spirit forging with life and spirit forging with evil spirits.

The "Embodied Spirit Forging" technique allows this spirit-forged metal to undergo a life-giving process, helping Soul Masters enhance their abilities.

Evil Spirit Forging involves using metals with a stronger spiritual essence, and these metals are often used to forge offensive weapons.

After collecting the butterfly, I figured joining this group was inevitable anyway, but right now I just needed a few people to help me.

"Qiu'er, now that you're here, help me with something."

"what."

Do you remember the battle armor from Legend of the Dragon King?

"Aren't you making battle armor? Is it appropriate to bring something from ten thousand years in the future to ten thousand years ago?"

"So what if it's inappropriate? Tang San has already used his secondary body to participate. I'm just showing him the charm of technology. Doesn't he think soul tools are trash? Let him see for himself."

All firepower stems from a lack of self-confidence. Once you've unleashed your full firepower, will you still feel insecure?
"However, what I'm saying is that making battle armor doesn't require blacksmiths and designers; those two key elements aren't that important."

"Leave this forging to me."

"Leave the design to me," Gu Yuena said.

After all, for her, her other self was a designer.

"Then what should I do?"

"You guys do the forging and design. I'm the one who has to move things."

Xia Die immediately began creating, forging metal into spirits was the most basic skill, even though it was only a sixth ring, perhaps this was her talent.

I learned the basic method after just looking at the basic steps of spirit forging.

The metals used to make two-word battle armor are divided into sunken silver and star silver.

Heavy silver is a metal with extremely high density and hardness, giving it a substantial weight. Furthermore, it possesses strong ductility at high temperatures, making it suitable for forging. Some Soul Masters (such as Lan Xuanyu from Douluo Continent IV) also have a high affinity for heavy silver, making it ideal for forging personal equipment.

Sunken silver is often used in the forging of two-word battle armor and is one of the important basic materials.

Sunken silver is also one of the key materials for making Tang Clan's top-level hidden weapons (such as the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles).

Sunken silver is mainly produced in the deep sea and usually needs to be mined at depths of over 1,000 meters.

There is also Star Silver, a high-grade rare metal with extremely high strength and toughness.

Star Silver has a significant amplification effect on soul power, making it suitable for manufacturing equipment that requires strong soul power support.

It also incorporates other rare metals, such as Nether Iron, Foul Titanium, and Diamond Gold.

There are also special metals in the system shop, which are much better than the metals in Douluo Continent.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Now, the sound of metal being hammered can be heard coming from Xia Die's dormitory. The special metal in the system shop does not need to be polished because it has already been forged.

The metal shimmered with a purple light as she hammered it.

Soon, a strange pattern was hammered into a piece of metal, and a strange luster shone from the metal.

Soon, the hundred-times forging process was over; it only took ten hammer blows to complete the process.

However, Tang Wulin used double hammers, while Xia Die used a single hammer.

"Boom—" A violent roar was accompanied by a streak of silver light shooting into the sky.

It was as if the piece of sunken silver burst into cheers. The silver light emanating from the sunken silver itself was as graceful as a swimming dragon, rising up to a full three feet and continuing for a long time.

Soon, with further hammering, the spirit of the thousand-times-forged forging was formed.

Now, let's begin the Spirit Forging process.

Qianduan has a spirit, which gives Shenyin spirituality. When this spirituality appears, it uses the martial soul as a bridge to communicate with it and help it shape its life. This is the process of spiritual forging.

Using the mind as a hammer and martial spirit as a guide, with mind and spirit as one, one forges countless lives. This is called Spirit Forging.

Spirit forging and thousand forging are qualitatively different, just like battle armor with only one word difference, yet their power is worlds apart.

Spirit forging allows metal to sublimate, elevating it to another realm.

And by closing your eyes, you can gain a deeper understanding of metal.

"do not be afraid."

The butterfly begins to communicate with the sunken silver through their hearts, establishing a connection between them.

Like butterflies and flowers, they establish a perfect connection with each other.

Soon, a profound spiritual training began.

The soul is forged through countless trials, a process of constant exchange and communication. Each gentle tap preserves the spirit of the refined silver, infused with soul power, guiding it to generate its own life.

At this moment, with her potential unleashed, every strike of her hammer and every communication with the sunken silver was perfectly timed, causing the silver to undergo wondrous changes. These changes, coupled with his continued communication with the sunken silver, guided him to perform at his best.

Finally, with a loud "boom," everything settled down, and the room trembled slightly from the shockwave.

Soon, a spirit-forged metal was constructed, and the rest was not so difficult.

A headband resembling a flower wreath on a butterfly's head was completed, radiating a purple glow.

Moreover, this level of light rose more than five meters high.

Moreover, during this process, a blood sacrifice was used, a very special forging technique, which allows the Xia Die to be connected to this headband by blood, making it seem like a part of the Xia Die herself.

Generally speaking, a blood sacrifice is only used for a work that the blacksmith is extremely satisfied with and that is for his own use.

Moreover, there is a tradition in the blacksmith world of Dou San that when a crafter creates the first piece that satisfies him or her, whether it is a thousand-fold forging, spirit forging, or soul forging, he or she will perform a blood sacrifice.

Once a blood sacrifice has been performed, no one else will be allowed to forge or use it.

"Ah Xia, what you made is a headband, which is more focused on mental power. Moreover, with your current physique, you are in no way inferior to an ordinary eight-ring Soul Douluo, so you should be able to withstand the burden it brings," said Xue Di's voice.

Xia Die nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Gu Yuena and Di Qiu'er also wanted to see just how powerful this battle armor really was.

She had established a blood connection with the headband, and with just a thought, the headband, enveloped in a ball of blue-gold light, automatically flew towards him.

At first, I only felt a tingling pain in my head.

Immediately afterward, a familiar aura surged into his mind—the unique bloodline aura he shared with the headband.

A few seconds later, the stinging sensation gradually turned into a feeling of heaviness.
Xia Die felt as if something was pressing down on his head, and his head suddenly felt heavy, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

The next instant, purple flowing patterns appeared above his brow and quickly spread to the back of his head.

Soon, Xia Die successfully donned the two-word battle armor component modified from sunken silver.
