Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 97: Making Two Sets of Battle Armor

Tiandou City

Gu You needs to prepare more. Having only soul bones is not enough. He needs to make battle armor in advance. Only in that way can he increase his combat power in a short period of time.

He is currently torn between two choices. The longer he delays, the greater the danger to his teachers. But if he is unprepared, can he win against Yuezi, who is stronger and knows him better in her prime?

This is a moral dilemma. If you save them beforehand and can't win, at least you'll have a good reputation after death. But what if you're fully prepared and find them all dead when you try to save them? It's a completely unsolvable situation, and Gu You naturally can't answer it either. But for anyone, there's always an answer, perhaps driven by passion or by calm composure...

After absorbing the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's left arm soul bone in the Spirit Ascension Platform, Gu You's physical strength had reached a terrifying level. Not to mention his peak strength of 100,000 jin per punch, he could still manage 10,000 jin, which was terrifying in the low-level Douluo plane! With various amplifications, breaking 20,000 jin was no problem at all, and his soul power had also reached level 35.

Now, if Gu Youxiang were to punch the ground hard, he could create a small earthquake of about magnitude three to four.

He found a familiar number and dialed the soul communication. A familiar voice entered his ears, "Weren't you participating in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition? Why are you calling me?" Zhenhua's voice was somewhat lazy.

"Master, do you have any suitable materials or ores for my dragon-attribute battle armor?" Gu You asked solemnly.

Zhenhua remained silent. This kid wanted battle armor so soon? But when he thought about how Gu You already knew spirit forging, he had to admit that with his 100,000-year soul ring, he already had the ability to wear one-word battle armor.

"The ore carrier is important, but have you thought about what kind of additional attributes you should add to your battle armor?" Zhenhua said in a deep voice. Battle armor should not only match the user's martial soul, but also take advantage of the user's strengths and make up for their weaknesses. Whatever the user lacks, it should be given a special soul guide rune array.

For example, if using a martial soul results in excessive consumption of soul power, then the battle armor should be engraved with soul power storage, soul power extension, and feedback-generating soul guidance arrays.

Carving arrays is no easy task. Currently, the Douluo Federation only has four level-nine array carvers. Even in history, this profession has been quite rare.

"Add offensive stats to all of them, we have everything else!" Gu You replied.

"You little rascal! I know, I'll find you an eighth-level mecha design and array sculptor. The rest of the forging is up to you. After the Tianhai Grand Competition, you can come to me to forge ores. The ores you need might be special, and I'll try my best to meet the attributes your martial soul needs. Also, you were too flashy in this competition, be more careful next time." Zhenhua agreed after a moment's thought.

"Master, I've reached the Heavenly Battle stage, and I desperately need battle armor. I've already withdrawn from the Heavenly Sea Grand Competition," Gu You sighed.

"What? He withdrew from the competition? What happened?" The person on the other end of the phone was clearly agitated.

"This matter is a bit complicated, but it's good overall. Telling you would have made things worse. If the ore for my elemental martial soul is hard to find over there, there's no need to go looking for it. Just handle it as it is. Thanks! I'll be at the Blacksmith Association right away." Gu You hung up the soul guide communication.

"This..." Zhenhua was a little confused, but he still ordered his men to go to his warehouse to find two kinds of ore: Dragon Beard Crystal and Dragon Abyss Meteorite Ore.

The first type, Dragon Whisker Crystal, has extremely high malleability and is highly compatible with dragon-type martial souls.

As for the Dragon Abyss Meteorite Ore, it is a rare space mineral that is extremely attractive to dragon-type martial souls that possess the ability to devour and destroy.

Gu You entered the association and found Zhen Hua at the higher-ups. Upon seeing the two types of ore, he was overjoyed. There was enough to make two sets of battle armor.

The first set was made using dragon whisker crystal, which suits my human form.

The second set is made using Longyuan meteorite ore, which is suitable for my dragon form.

Although it might seem a bit redundant—why not just make one set like Longyuan's?—from Guyou's perspective, if the first set breaks, can't they just use the second one? Last time, Zhan Kuang was in such a sorry state because his two-word battle armor was damaged. At that time, he thought that if he had a backup battle armor, wouldn't that completely solve the problem?

Gu You tapped his clever head. If other battle armor masters knew what he was thinking at this moment, they might want to kill Gu You. How many resources does it take to make a battle armor? Gu You actually wanted to make two sets at once, which was simply against the law!

"What exactly happened? Could you briefly explain?" Zhenhua leaned back in his chair, his tone serene.

"If someone has battle armor when they fight, I should at least have some too, right?" Gu You replied simply with a smile.

"Oh!" Zhenhua nodded, it was indeed unfair. "That will take a lot of time, you'll need at least two months to get out of seclusion."

Gu You frowned. When he first had the idea of ​​making battle armor, he didn't have the concept of time. Now that he thought about it, forging all the spirit-forged metals, refining his own height and waist width, going through a series of molds to create a preliminary battle armor model, and then having the soul-guiding array master carve the necessary arrays, it would indeed take more than a day or two. But to say two months was still too much. Did they really not believe in Gu You?

"I know that. Just get me a formation master, and I'll take care of the rest." Gu You walked into the forging room, letting out a long sigh. Judging from the current progress, it would take a long time. Gu You looked at his hands, wondering if he was a good person or a bad person...
