The Sun and Moon Royal Team's lineup this time is incredibly luxurious.
Su Yu alone could win them all.
Even if it's just to give other teammates a chance to show their faces, with Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen siblings plus Huo Yuhao, any random pairing wouldn't lose.
This is even without the use of Battle Armor.
In past Soul Fighting Competitions, even the appearance of a Soul Emperor is quite rare.
Most academies can train Soul Sect-level contestants, and those seed academies, which have hopes of making it to the top eight, even have Soul Kings holding the fort.
Even Xingluo Royal Academy and such imperial direct academies might have a lineup full of Soul Kings.
In such a condition, it is quite over-standard to occasionally see one or two Soul Emperors.
However, this time, the Sun and Moon Royal Team directly showed up with three Soul Saints.
This is simply a dimensional reduction strike.
Oh, right, brothers Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen absorbed two pieces of Immortal Grass and have successfully advanced to Soul Saints.
Soul Saints with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
"The purpose of this training camp, you may have guessed, is about learning and creating Battle Armor."
The main players will learn to create Battle Armor and complete it before the real tournament arrives.
Since the Sun and Moon Empire early announced that sects can also participate, the participating teams will be the largest in history.
And because of this, the total number of matches for the Sun and Moon Royal Team will definitely not be few.
This time, Mirror Hongchen set the goal for them: each person aims for a one against seven.
With Battle Armor assistance, there's still a chance to achieve that.
Therefore, Battle Armor will be the focus of this training camp.
As for team battle coordination, Mirror Hongchen rejected and dismissed all of it.
This Soul Fighting Competition, apart from various war factors, serves as the biggest publicity for Battle Armor from Mingde Hall.
The biggest feature of Battle Armor is the enhancement and augmentation of Soul Masters' personal strength.
Therefore, this year's Soul Fighting Competition, Mingde Hall especially emphasizes individual strength.
"Battle Armor is the latest research achievement of Mingde Hall, it is a perfect creation proposed by Su Yu and jointly developed with Xuan Ziweng, it is the best innovation combining Soul Guide and Soul Master."
"..."
Mirror Hongchen lavished praise on Su Yu, causing his face to flush, while the other thirteen people, including Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen Meng Hongchen, had strange expressions, and the other ten showed admiration.
It's evident from the Mingde Hall Master's high praise, Su Yu's excellence.
Especially those who understand the significance of Battle Armor more, admiring Su Yu for proposing this concept.
"Of course, the making of Battle Armor is also very consuming, even without any mistake, at least fourteen corresponding level soul-guiding devices are required, basic Battle Armor is fourteen Fifth-level Soul-guiding Devices, intermediate Battle Armor might be fourteen Seventh-level Soul-guiding Devices..."
"The making of fourteen soul-guiding devices requires mutual cooperation, making the engraving of the core array to the extreme, demanding a lot of creation and experimentation. And that's why the consumption is absolutely not small in the process."
"As participants of this Soul Fighting Competition, you have a benefit, which is that you can reasonably apply for rare metals during this training, as long as it's for making Battle Armor, then Mingde Hall will provide the corresponding rare metals."
Mirror Hongchen, at this point, glanced at Su Yu, with a hint of a smile in their eyes.
Su Yu also had a sudden revelation.
His earlier thoughts completely tossed aside.
What? Who dares say this training is useless!
Just now, he was thinking of seeking help from Mirror Hongchen or Kong Deming after exhausting his accumulated rare metals; but now, Mirror Hongchen just gifted him a great surprise.
The training period, isn't this from now until the Soul Fighting Competition?
To make Battle Armor, apply for rare metals?
I want to make a Super Battle Armor, so I might need to prepare for the making of a Ninth-level Soul-guiding Device in advance, which might require a large amount of rare metals, including some extremely rare ones. No problem, right?
Su Yu looked at Huo Yuhao, as well as Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
This benefit is truly huge.
Of course, even for Xiao Ping, Shi Xing, and Zhou Xinghao, this benefit is enormous.
After all, although Battle Armor technology is already considerably complete, besides Su Yu's group of true prodigies, there are still very few successful cases of understanding and creating it, with its success rate being extremely low.
In other words, most of those Soul Guides who just got started have failed, consuming all the rare metals allocated to them.
The construction of the core array not only requires the standard of a device of corresponding level but also the relationship between fourteen arrays, the difficulty is not small.
However, if it's a standard Battle Armor, it naturally wouldn't be so hard, no need for self-design, with existing arrays, it's just a matter of production.
This aspect is not very hard.
What truly causes failure is the overall construction of the core array.
...
"Su Yu, Huo Yuhao, Xiao, and Meng, you four have already mastered the technology to create Battle Armor, you can apply for rare metals needed, the requirement is only one, that is to complete a Battle Armor that suits your level before the Soul Fighting Competition."
"Shi Xing, Zhou Xinghao, Xiao Ping, I gave you the technology two months ago, now you also have made some progress, in the next five months, Researcher Xuan Ziweng will fully guide you through making the Battle Armor."
"And for Xiao Fan and you seven in the reserve team, at least you all are Third-level Soul Guides, should have learned Fourth-level Soul-guiding theory in advance, during this period also follow to learn the theory of Battle Armor."
"..."
Su Yu submitted an application for the rare metals needed for making a Super Battle Armor, quickly passed Mirror Hongchen's assessment.
After extracting some commonly used rare metals from Mingde Hall, he returned to the laboratory.
"Before advancing to Ninth-Level Soul Guide, modify this Holy Soul Grass first."
Su Yu took out a seed that nearly lost all its vitality.
The Holy Soul Grass, which was about to burgeon life, had its spirituality dissipate under the Evil Emperor's psychic shock, with its life force slowly fading as well.
The fundamental root of its biological entity was wiped out, even with Su Yu's Ultimate Life Force infusion, it was merely able to sustain its life force, unable to truly revive it.
"Heaven's will, it is perfect for transforming into a Dead Spirit."
Su Yu recalled the ability to transform into dead spirits learned from Ellex, releasing Spiritual Power to start modifying the Holy Soul Grass.
Across the world, various elemental energies were mobilized by him.
Using Spiritual Power, he traced out illusory patterns in the void, manipulating elemental energy to transform the Holy Soul Grass.
The body of the Life Spirit Grass began to transmute.
The slight remaining life force transformed into death, a thick aura of dead spirit began to emit from the seed.
Su Yu infused it with Soul Power of Ultimate Life Attribute, converting into a thick death aura.
The transformed dead spirit seed started to shake, gradually breaking apart, and a small gray-white grass formed slowly.
Su Yu nourished this small grass with Soul Power.
In the void, patterns were outlined, and a Spirit Summoning Array gradually formed.
Within the transformed dead spirit Holy Soul Grass, spiritual light began to shimmer.
Then, this trace of spirituality would be transformed into death aura.
Su Yu did not stop nurturing its spirituality, as he carved an array on rare metal then turned it into a Soul-guiding Device, planting the small grass in a pot-like Soul-guiding Device.
"The spirit generated by the body being devoured by the death aura is fine, once enough spirit is devoured, the death aura itself will possess spirit."
Su Yu waited for the moment when the death aura nurtured spirituality.
