Chapter 177: The First Generation's Limit Comes to an End

Chapter 177 The End of an Era of Limitless Potential

Afterwards, Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin inquired about some details of Xiao Hongchen's spirit forging, as well as his current success rate in spirit forging.

"The success rate is hard to say—but after fusing this tiger-striped dark gold with my forging hammer, my success rate in spirit forging should increase considerably." Xiao Hongchen pondered for a while before giving his answer.

"I estimate that we can produce enough metal to make a set of two-word armor in about a month and a half?"

Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin exchanged a glance and communicated with each other.

Their magic array is almost complete; now all that's left is the finishing touch.

According to Lin Nuo's plan, the two-word battle armor needs to have the ability to amplify a Soul Saint into a Title Douluo. Completing a magic array of this level is no easy task.

The main reason why the Sun Moon Empire was able to produce the semi-finished One-Word Battle Armor so quickly was that it already possessed the most basic theory of humanoid soul tools.

Later, Kong Deming's Soul Master Legion, after equipping themselves with humanoid Soul Guidance Devices, were able to directly amplify Soul Masters from Soul Sect to Soul Emperor to the level of Soul Douluo.

Although such an increase comes at a considerable cost, it proves that the Sun and Moon Empire does indeed possess this technology.

This is why the One-Word Battle Armor appeared so easily back then.

However, starting with the two-word battle armor, it is no longer supported by existing theories.

Two-word battle armor requires amplifying the Soul Saint to the Title Douluo level, which can still be barely achieved through some improvements and upgrades using the technology of this era.

The three-word battle armor can be described as an evolution in the original text, while the four-word battle armor can be described as a sublimation.

Three-word battle armor can grant an ordinary Title Douluo the strength of a Super Douluo, and a Super Douluo the strength of a top-tier level 98. In other words, if Cheng Gang wore a set of three-word battle armor, he wouldn't be able to go toe-to-toe with him, but he certainly wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

Super Douluo of level 96 or 97, such as Shattered Star Douluo, Golden Body Douluo, and Heavenly Sun Douluo, can even easily defeat Xuanzi after wearing the Three-Word Battle Armor, and have the power to fight against Poison Undying before he awakens his Golden Awakening.

Furthermore, a three-word battle armor can even grant a Soul Master an additional battle armor domain.

The four-word battle armor is even more exaggerated. It is a void-condensed armor that possesses life characteristics and can control certain spatial laws and mysteries like a living being.

The technical challenges of three-word and four-word battle armor are not only the lack of forging techniques, but also the battle armor formations that have been continuously updated and improved by countless people over the past ten thousand years.

Two-word battle armor was already the limit that their small workshop could produce.

Even if Lin Nuo and Xiao Hongchen are able to deduce the Fusion Forging and Soul Forging techniques later, Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin will still be unable to provide a Battle Armor Formation with an amplification strength reaching the level of three.

"We'll talk about the future later. Now that you've broken through the limits of spirit forging, hurry up and forge more spirit forging metals." Jing Hongchen patted his grandson's shoulder.

"Once you've finished forging all the metal, Grandpa will craft a two-word battle armor for you, making you the first two-word battle armor master in history!"

"Haven't you always wanted to catch up with Arno? Once you have a two-word battle armor, even if you don't reach the Soul Saint level, you'll have the combat power of a Soul Douluo. After you break through to Soul Saint, you can even reach the ninth ring, and you won't have to worry about holding Arno back anymore!"

"!" Xiao Hongchen's spirits lifted, and his eyes immediately blazed with fighting spirit.

"Understood, Grandpa! I'll do it right away—"

Rumble!!!

"Beep beep beep beep"

A powerful tremor suddenly erupted, and even though they were nearly two hundred meters underground, they still felt as if the earth was shaking. The muffled rumbling sound could be faintly heard even in Laboratory No. 1, where the soundproofing was maximized.

At the same time, inside the laboratory, alarm bells rang urgently.

The piercing alarm bells echoed in the ears of the three men, and the flashing red warning lights illuminated the varied expressions on their faces.

"Grandpa, this—?" Xiao Hongchen was somewhat bewildered. "Our Mingde Hall has been invaded?"

Ye Yulin was also somewhat puzzled, but after hearing the word "invasion" from Xiao Hongchen, his expression immediately turned sharp, and the Sun and Moon Divine Needle appeared behind him in the blink of an eye.

"Hmph! I'd like to see who has the audacity to invade Mingde Hall!" Ye Yulin snorted angrily and made a move to leave.

"Take it easy." Jing Hongchen glanced at him, then took out a black box from her soul tool.

There was a soul guide screen on the black box. The originally dark soul guide screen was now lit up, marked with a large blood-red exclamation mark. Below the exclamation mark, there was a line of small black text.

The device is damaged.

Seeing this, Ye Yulin frowned and came closer, looking at the black box in Jing Hongchen's hand with some doubt.

"Heh—just as I expected." Jing Hongchen tossed the black box onto the table, a cold smile on his face.

"I actually caught a fish! I just hope it's a big one this time!"

Three minutes ago.

After wandering around Mingdu for most of the day, Mu En finally found the bait that Lin Nuo and Jing Hongchen had thrown out beforehand.

The most overpowered ability of Limit Douluo is their prophetic sense of danger.

During the time Mu En was wandering around, Mingdu made him feel a strong sense of threat from all sides, which meant that Mingdu could threaten him in many ways, if not as numerous as the stars in the sky, then he was surrounded by enemies.

This is also why Moon felt that the Sun and Moon Empire was already on its way.

Even if he is only a half-crippled Limit Douluo, he is still a Limit Douluo. The Sun Moon Empire already possesses a large number of soul tools that can threaten him, even if a large portion of these soul tools are field-type soul tools that cannot appear on the front lines of the battlefield.

This already represents the development of soul tools, indicating that soul tools are no longer the small toys that were not even a threat to titled Douluo four thousand years ago.

It was through his ability to sense threats that Moon found Lin Nuo drinking tea and reading a book in a courtyard near the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy that gave him a strong sense of threat.

Although the threat posed by this courtyard was not as great as that of the Sun Moon Empire's imperial palace, it was still enough to kill Mu En.

Wherever he could be threatened, there was a chance that Linno might be there.

As it turned out, Moon's idea was correct. He found Lin Nuo, but also confirmed that there was definitely a strong defensive capability around him, so strong that he felt that as long as he made a move, he would definitely die.

Is Moon afraid of dying?

Of course he wasn't afraid. If he were afraid of death, he wouldn't have chosen to come and trade one with Lin Nuoyi.

So Moon made his move, and he died too.
