Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Chapter 80 Golden Scale Moon Na's Amazing Beauty

In the instant the light shone, the Sword of Guardian of Life quietly fell into his palm. At the same time, a total of six soul rings—one blue-gold, one black-gold, and four crimson-gold—surrounded the Sword of Guardian of Life.

Ye Qi'an took a deep breath, flicked his wrist slightly, and the Sword of Guardian of Life emitted a soft sound. The blade trembled slightly, and the tip of the sword released a green-gold light.

"Let's create a miracle together." With that, Ye Qi'an slowly closed his eyes, and all the distracting thoughts in his mind instantly vanished, leaving only the meticulously designed blueprint.

The creation of battle armor must be completed in one go. The core magic array of the design must be inscribed on it, removing the dross and condensing the essence to ensure that the alloy and the array are completely fused. During this process, there can be no pause or the slightest mistake. Skill, soul power, mental power, consciousness, and comprehension are all indispensable.

At this moment, Ye Qi'an seemed to have completely merged with the surrounding space, his aura constantly rising, yet not a single trace of his soul power leaked out. Suddenly, Ye Qi'an took a step forward, simultaneously opening his crimson eyes. The Sword of Life's Watch silently pierced out, landing beneath the piece of metal that had been fused with a portion of the Gold of Life, which was then lifted up in the process.

Ye Qi'an took a deep breath, his wrist flicking slightly, and the Sword of Life's Watch drew a graceful arc in the air along with the metal block. As the sword danced, fine marks were quickly left on the metal, each mark making the metal shine even brighter.

Time flowed slowly, and the patterns on the metal deepened from their initial coarseness, becoming more complex. The textures intertwined and resonated with each other, while the metal itself shone ever brighter. Because Ye Qi'an used the Sword of Life Watch to carve, the already rich life force became even more intense.

Three hours passed, and Ye Qi'an finally began to slow the pace of his sword, the Sword of Life's Watch. At this point, more than half of the overall array had been inscribed, and three-quarters of the battle armor was complete. "Making battle armor is truly not easy; just completing half of the array inscription has already consumed half of my soul power. I can't relax now; I must finish the battle armor in one go."

Ye Qi'an adjusted his breathing and focused his mind again. With a slight flick of his wrist, the Sword of Life Watch began to dance once more. The patterns on the metal became increasingly delicate and complex under the sword's carving, and the life force grew stronger, as if it possessed its own rhythm of life.

At this moment, the metal body had fully taken on the shape of a left gauntlet and forearm armor. Ye Qi'an's aura continued to rise, and as the Sword of Guardian of Life danced, the patterns on the metal became increasingly exquisite.

Ye Qi'an's eyes were focused and burning with passion. He seemed to have forgotten all his fatigue and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the creation of the battle armor. The shapes of the left gauntlet and forearm armor became clearer and clearer, and every detail exuded a powerful aura.

Time slipped away unnoticed, and Ye Qi'an's movements became increasingly skillful, as if he had become one with the sword that guarded the living beings. The array inscription on the metal was nearing completion, and the light was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.

Finally, as the last line was completed, the entire left arm armor burst forth with intense light. Ye Qi'an slowly lowered the Sword of Guardian of Life, gazing at the masterpiece before him.

As Ye Qi'an gazed at the indentation of the snowflake pattern, he slowly took out the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal from his soul tool ring and smiled slightly: "The attribute is unsuitable, I'll remove it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Eye of Annihilation on his forehead opened instantly, and a beam of purple light shot out, enveloping the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal. Under the light, the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal trembled slightly, and the ice attribute aura on it began to gradually peel away.

As time passed, the light of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal dimmed, and its originally rich ice attribute gradually dissipated. When the last trace of ice attribute was completely removed, the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal became pure and transparent.

Ye Qi'an carefully placed the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal into the recessed area of ​​the snowflake pattern, then raised his left hand without hesitation. Blood gushed out, splashing directly into the ball of light. Guided by the power of life, not a single drop of blood was wasted; it all merged into the light.

Ye Qi'an stepped forward, his left hand instantly reaching out towards the ball of light. Bloodstains appeared on his arm, crisscrossing as they appeared. The moment the blood began to seep out, Ye Qi'an's left hand was already embedded in the light.

In an instant, Ye Qi'an's entire arm began to sting. Then, a powerful aura surged in. Upon sensing the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, the stinging sensation transformed into a feeling of heaviness.

In an instant, a crimson-gold light shot into the sky, followed by a resounding dragon roar on Ye Qi'an's left hand. Large golden patterns appeared on his skin. He raised his right hand high, and streams of golden light flowed down from his palm, spreading all the way to his forearm.

The crimson-gold light gradually subsided, revealing the left arm armor in its entirety. The gauntlet resembled a dragon's head, its sharp lines outlining a majestic silhouette. Golden dragon patterns, seemingly alive, meandered and coiled along the gauntlet, each line radiating a powerful aura.

On the forearm armor, the dragon pattern is even more intricate and magnificent. The dragon's body is faintly visible, its scales shimmering with a metallic luster, and its eyes are bright and piercing, revealing endless majesty and domineering power.

Ye Qi'an slightly moved his left arm, and the dragon patterns on the battle armor flowed with the flickering light, as if a real dragon were coiled around his arm. The golden light and the aura of life intertwined, making the left arm battle armor both full of vitality and possessing a chilling power.

"Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens!" Ye Qi'an took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly brightening. The faint golden light around his body instantly intensified, and a deep dragon roar, like thunder, resounded around him, gradually growing louder.

Golden energy swirled and emerged, revealing a massive golden dragon's head. Its palms flipped upwards, and the dragon's roar grew even more intense. Centered on its body, the surrounding air currents became extremely violent.

The enormous golden dragon head exuded a chilling aura, its eyes seemingly burning with golden flames. Every gaze seemed to pierce through the void, and golden currents surged like a raging tide, carrying an aura of world-destroying power.

Ye Qi'an stood in the center of the raging air currents, his golden hair fluttering in the wind. The dragon pattern on his left arm armor shone even brighter under the golden light, echoing the enormous golden dragon head.

As the dragon's roar continued to rise, the void began to tremble slightly. The golden energy surged even more violently, and the enormous golden dragon head seemed to be breaking free of all restraints, roaring as it charged forward. Wherever it passed, space was torn open with black cracks.

As the light flashed, the dragon's head slammed into its target with unparalleled force, unleashing a deafening roar like a thunderclap. A powerful shockwave spread outwards, causing everything in the void to tremble violently under its force.

"With the enhancement of the battle armor, the Golden Dragon's power far surpasses that of the past. Now, even I can hardly fathom my own strength."

Ye Qi gazed quietly at the shattered void before him. The light on his left arm armor slowly receded, and the dragon pattern gradually dimmed. However, the aura of majesty still lingered. With a thought, the brilliant light on his left arm vanished instantly, and the dragon pattern disappeared, as if the awe-inspiring power had never existed.

"What name should we give you?"

Ye Qi'an pondered for a moment, his gaze falling on the battle armor on his left arm, which had returned to calm. A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. Time passed quietly, and various names kept flashing through his mind, but none of them seemed to match the majesty of this battle armor.

"Since it is ultimately a six-word battle armor, I will name it Golden Scale Moon Na Jinghong, and the one-word battle armor will be 'Gold'."

.........

During the few days that Ye Qi'an was forging the One-Word Battle Armor, news of the sudden attack and heavy losses suffered by the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire had already spread throughout the continent. Although the Sun Moon Empire did not specify who was responsible, the fact that the Mingde Hall immediately issued a kill order against the Body Sect showed their target.

The Body Sect did not remain silent. Instead, it immediately issued a strong condemnation within the Heavenly Soul Empire, denouncing the Mingde Hall for issuing a kill order against them without any investigation. The sect also stated firmly that the matter had nothing to do with the Body Sect and that anyone who dared to retaliate would bear the consequences.

Regardless of whether the Body Sect acknowledges it or not, after this incident, the Body Sect's status on the continent soared dramatically, subtly surpassing Shrek Academy and Mingde Hall, and it began to resemble the number one power on the continent.

The entire continent was shaken. The three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent were all overjoyed. Although they did not know the extent of the Mingde Hall's losses, it was definitely a good thing for them!

Upon learning of this, the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire was furious. His already poor health worsened, and Jing Hongchen, the head of the Mingde Hall, was severely punished, stripped of his dukedom. Had it not been for Crown Prince Xu Tianran's intervention, the punishment would likely have been even more severe.

However, what neither side could have imagined was that the Body Sect was simply being scapegoated and manipulated. After the attack on Mingde Hall, Ye Qi'an single-handedly caused the price of high-level soul tools on the continent to plummet, while the price of rare metals increased significantly.

Meanwhile, Ye Qi'an, the mastermind behind all these events, is currently in the dean's office of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, talking with Jing Hongchen.

When Ye Qi'an entered Jing Hongchen's office, Jing Hongchen was resting with his eyes closed. In just a few days, he seemed to have aged ten years, and his face had a noticeably colder and sharper aura.

"Who are you?" Upon seeing Ye Qi'an enter, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but show a look of confusion on her face.

"Shrek Academy—Ye Qi'an," Ye Qi'an replied from behind his black and gold mask.

Jing Hongchen narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze fixed on Ye Qi'an. "You are Ye Qi'an. Why have you come to our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?"

Ye Qi'an slightly raised his chin, his voice steady and powerful: "I am here, naturally, on important business. I have heard that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is full of talented people, so I have come here today to learn from them."

After pondering for a moment, Jing Hongchen said, "Ye Qi'an, if I remember correctly, you were one of the main players in the last All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, right?"

"With the key player injured, I, as the substitute, naturally have to step up," Ye Qi'an nodded and said.

Jing Hongchen's eyes twitched slightly. He coughed and said, "It's like this. I agree to your exchange and sparring. I believe you are aware that what happened a few days ago greatly affected me. The reason we were ambushed by the enemy and suffered heavy losses was because our academy's Soul Masters and Soul Instructors lacked combat experience. They usually live in the Soul Master circle and only face confrontations between Soul Masters themselves. So, I also have an idea, but I haven't found a suitable person yet. Now that you're here, it's perfect."

"It seems our goals are aligned. Are there any benefits?" Ye Qi'an asked with a calm smile.

Jing Hongchen was slightly taken aback. This wasn't a friendly exchange; it was clearly an attempt to extort money. However, he had already spoken and couldn't go back on his word. He then gave a faint smile: "There will naturally be benefits. If you can demonstrate sufficient strength in the exchange, allowing our students to gain something, my Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will not be stingy. Whether it's rare metals or advanced soul tool crafting techniques, they can all be given as rewards."

Ye Qi'an nodded slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes: "That sounds good. However, it would be best to prepare several healing-type Soul Masters."

Jing Hongchen frowned slightly: "Why prepare a healing-type Soul Master? Do you think this sparring session will be extremely risky?"

Ye Qi'an's lips curled up slightly: "Unexpected things are bound to happen during sparring. Having a healing-type Soul Master by your side can ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Jing Hongchen was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, I'll make the arrangements. When do you plan to start this sparring match?"

"You can arrange it, I'm not in a hurry," Ye Qi'an nodded and said.

"I'll arrange for someone to arrange the sparring and exchange later. Let me arrange a place for you to stay now." Jing Hongchen nodded, then said to Lin Jiayi, "Jiayi, take Young Master Ye to the best guest room in our courtyard to rest. Make sure he is well taken care of."

Lin Jiayi respectfully replied, "Yes, Master. Young Master Ye, please follow me."

Ye Qi'an nodded slightly and followed Lin Jiayi out of the office. Along the way, Lin Jiayi would occasionally steal glances at Ye Qi'an, secretly speculating about the strength of this person from Shrek Academy.

Soon after, they arrived at a luxurious guest room.

Lin Jiayi said, "Young Master Ye, this is the accommodation prepared for you. Please feel free to call me if you need anything."

Ye Qi'an nodded, then walked into the room. He looked around and saw that the room was elegantly and exquisitely furnished, with all kinds of facilities...
