103Chapter 103 Battle Armor Course
"Uh..." Long Chen shuddered with fright and nearly jumped out of his chair. He quickly waved his hands and put on a flattering smile. "No, no, no, Brother Lu, I'm talking about myself. I'm a pervert, and I'm proud of it!"
But I began to wail in my heart:
Brother Lu's mental power is so terrifying that he can even hear such a quiet complaint. He is simply not a human!
Just when Long Chen was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in, Wu Zhangkong, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up on the podium:
"Okay, let's start the class."
The whole place fell silent in an instant. Wu Zhangkong's gaze swept across the entire place, lingering for a moment on Lu Jun and Gu Yuena, before passing over Tang Wulin and the other two.
He raised his hand and lightly tapped the soul guide screen on the podium with his fingertips.
A three-dimensional, complex armor structure diagram with a cold metallic luster was instantly projected into the air in the center of the classroom. Every component was extremely delicate and emitted heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
"Today's lesson is…"
"Battle armor."
These two words, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly set off huge waves in the hearts of all the students, especially Tang Wulin.
Battle armor!
Tang Wulin's heart skipped a beat, his eyes fixed on the projection of the gorgeous armor floating in the air, and his breathing involuntarily quickened.
He finally understood why even geniuses like Lu Jun and Gu Yuena, who were usually elusive, showed up in the classroom on time today.
This lesson is of vital importance. It is one of the keys to becoming the pinnacle soul master!
In the entire class, you could hear a pin drop, and the only sound left was the students' eager and focused breathing.
"Battle armor is more than just a simple piece of armor." Wu Changkong's gaze swept across the young faces below, filled with curiosity. "It is the most perfect fusion and extension of a soul master's spirit, soul power, martial soul, and soul guidance technology. It is an indispensable step to the pinnacle of soul mastership, and one of the important indicators of a soul master's ultimate achievement."
"The gap in strength between a soul master with battle armor and a soul master without battle armor is like a chasm."
"A set of battle armor that is tailor-made and perfectly matched can increase a spirit master's combat effectiveness several times, or even dozens of times. It is not only a defensive barrier, but also a sharp blade of offense, the embodiment of the spirit master's will."
"Not only that, battle armor can also bring out the power of the soul master's martial soul to the extreme. A soul king with a one-word battle armor can fight against a level 70 soul saint without a battle armor."
"Battle Armor requires the user to have a strong soul power and mental strength. Every battle armor master is treated very highly in the soul master world. The strength of any battle armor master is more than 20 levels stronger than the soul master of the same level."
"For example, if a one-character battle armor master is five-ringed, wearing battle armor, his strength is equivalent to that of a seven-ringed one. A two-character battle armor master of Soul Emperor is equivalent to an eight-ringed one. A three-character battle armor master of Soul Douluo is equivalent to a nine-ringed one. A four-character battle armor master of Titled Douluo is equivalent to an Ultimate Douluo."
His words carried an unquestionable authority, deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts, especially for Tang Wulin, as if they had opened a door to a whole new realm.
"To possess truly powerful battle armor, one cannot simply rely on purchasing it or having it crafted by others." Wu Zhangkong changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of meaning. "According to the core philosophy of Shrek Academy, the most time-honored spirit master academy on this continent, spirit masters with true potential and ambition will learn and master a second profession in advance."
"Mecha manufacturing, mecha design, and forging." He uttered these three words clearly, and the corresponding pictures were switched on the projection.
"These three are the foundation for building battle armor and even more powerful mechas. Mastering them will not only allow you to deeply understand the structural principles and energy operation of battle armor, but will also allow you to personally participate in, or even lead, the manufacturing process of your own battle armor in the future."
Wu Zhangkong's voice was resolute and decisive, carrying an unquestionable power:
"I can tell you clearly that the most powerful mecha and battle armor in the world must be designed, forged, and manufactured by their users themselves. This is because only you know your martial soul, your soul power characteristics, and your fighting style best."
"If you want to truly stand at the pinnacle of the continent's spirit masters and look down upon all living beings," his eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Then, from now on, please work harder, choose a second career that suits you, devote yourself to it, and lay the foundation for your path to the pinnacle."
His eyes fell on Lu Jun and Gu Yuena intentionally or unintentionally:
"Just like our classmates Lu Jun and Gu Yuena, they have already taken the lead, choosing their second careers in advance and putting in tremendous effort, laying a solid foundation for their future battle armor journey."
The classroom was suddenly filled with suppressed exclamations and gasps of sudden realization.
Many students looked at Lu Jun and Gu Yuena with not only the original admiration but also deep respect and understanding.
It turns out that their strength is not accidental, but they have already planned a longer path.
Tang Wulin clenched his fists even tighter, his eyes filled with determination.
Forging, this is the path he chose.
Teacher Wu's words were like a shot of adrenaline for him.
He must become the best blacksmith and forge his own battle armor with his own hands.
Wu Changkong continued his lecture for forty minutes.
The course then ended in an atmosphere of ignited fighting spirit.
The students continued their discussion with great interest and then stood up and left one after another.
Wu Zhangkong did not leave the podium immediately.
After most of the students left the classroom, he turned his gaze to Lu Jun who was about to stand up.
"Mr. Lu."
"Teacher Wu." Lu Jun stopped and looked at him calmly.
"According to the academy's rules, each grade has its own set of rules. This benefits the students and boosts their morale and motivation," Wu Zhangkong said succinctly. "Class One enjoys the best resources, but naturally also bears the greatest challenges."
"Students from other classes, as long as they have the ability to defeat Class 1, will have the opportunity to replace them."
He paused and looked directly at Lu Jun:
"Recently, a number of students who consider themselves quite capable have expressed their desire to challenge you through various channels. The number... is quite a bit."
"As the homeroom teacher, I need to ask you what you think. Do you accept these challenges?"
Lu Jun shook his head decisively without any hesitation:
"No."
Are you kidding me?
He wished his time could be divided into eight parts.
Every minute and every second of his training time is extremely precious.
To deal with challengers whose strength is unknown and who may have been instigated to test or consume him?
What a waste of life.
If you have that much time, why not forge another piece of metal, practice more, and see if you can condense a soul core? Wouldn't that be great?
