Chapter 115 First Battle with Battle Armor
"How long until the Panlong Realm opens?"
After He Caitou finished speaking, Bei Bei and the others, who already knew about the Panlong Realm, were overjoyed, but Long You couldn't help but frown.
"Well, it'll be about a week from now. I don't know if it's because the senior sister promoted it, but quite a few people in the inner academy want to give it a try. Right now, my seniors in the Soul Guidance Department are working hard to arrange for the martial soul department inner academy students to undergo combat power data testing."
"So, the data upload channel hasn't been closed yet?"
"Of course it's not shut down. What are you trying to do? Didn't you already upload your data?"
"Those data are outdated. I've already completed one part of my battle armor, and my physical attributes have been comprehensively enhanced by the armor."
I know that the Panlong Realm doesn't allow people to bring soul tools in at will, but my battle armor is already fused with me; it's like my martial soul, something I can summon with a thought. Why can't I bring it in?
"Battle Armor?! Wasn't the project proposal you submitted before a long-term plan? How come you've already produced this? We're still stuck on soul-guided powered armor!"
"Who said it was a long-term plan? I clearly said that the battle armor and large mechs would advance in tandem."
"But according to you, Battle Armor is practically a second Martial Soul, or rather, a support Martial Soul. Who would have thought it would be so easy to obtain?"
"Aren't the Yangyan Chenyin Forging Hammer and Jinlong Carving Knife the same as the Battle Armor? If I can make those two work, doesn't that prove that there are no longer any technical difficulties in manufacturing the Battle Armor?"
"Heh, heh heh, go explain it to the teacher yourself. Now, let's release it and see."
Long You was speaking the truth, and He Caitou understood it, but He Caitou could still sense a strong Versailles vibe in Long You's words. Frustrated, He Caitou decided not to continue discussing the technical difficulty of the battle armor and instead wanted to look at the military exhibition.
Apart from He Caitou, the remaining five people in the private room didn't know anything about battle armor. Seeing Long You and He Caitou talking so enthusiastically, they also wanted to see it for themselves.
Left with no other choice, Long You had to first protect the space inside the private room with a soul guide device to isolate it from sound and soul power fluctuations before releasing his left arm battle armor.
Few boys dislike something imposing and powerful. Especially after Long You, using his left hand equipped with battle armor, consecutively defeated He Caitou and Bei Bei in arm wrestling. Although they hadn't yet witnessed the true combat power of the battle armor, only experiencing its enhancement to strength, the eyes of the boys present had already begun to gleam.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly, and after we finish eating we'll go back to the academy. Tonight we'll have a fight to see just how strong this battle armor really is!"
"Alright, I'll go see Teacher Fanyu tonight. I need to demonstrate the Battle Armor, and I should try my best to bring its bonuses into the Panlong Realm."
The dinner, which had started with laughter and conversation, turned into a chaotic mess. After the table was littered with cups and plates, Bei Bei, the senior disciple, paid the bill and led everyone to hurry towards the Soul Guidance Department of the academy.
On the way, Long You contacted Fan Yu by phone, asking the head of the Soul Guidance Department to come to the academy's Soul Fighting Zone to watch the excitement.
Yes, that's right, Long You was talking about excitement. Although he had damaged the shield target in the laboratory before, Long You hadn't stopped testing. There was a special testing area in the Soul Guidance Department's teaching building, a place that could withstand attacks from Title Douluos. So, after going all out and having Bourne record the data, and completing several rounds of data simulations, Long You was now brimming with confidence, and he was preparing to take on two opponents at once.
In the Soul Fighting Zone, since Fan Yu was already there and had brought Huo Yuhao's homeroom teacher Zhou Yi with him, Long You and the others didn't bother the referee teachers on duty in the Soul Fighting Zone.
As the battle lines were drawn, Long You was now filled with caution, because the situation was not as he had imagined; it was now two against three.
Long You summoned Fan Yu, and Bei Bei also summoned someone else, Xu Sanshi.
During the freshman tournament that year, Bei Bei fought Xu Sanshi one-on-one, and Xu Sanshi lost. However, Xu Sanshi was not the type to give up easily. As soon as the freshman tournament ended, Xu Sanshi asked for leave to go home to obtain his third spirit ring. The first thing Xu Sanshi did upon returning to the academy was to challenge Bei Bei.
This time, Xu Sanshi's rock-solid defense forced the unprepared Bei Bei to leave the game in disappointment.
However, after these two battles, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi became friends, and they both highly regarded each other's character and strength. So the two agreed to team up and challenge the upperclassmen in the battle zone.
During that period, thanks to Xu Sanshi's solid defense and Bei Bei's explosive offense, many senior outer court students at the fourth-ring Soul Master level fell to the two of them.
In no time, the reputation of the twin stars of the Foreign Languages Department began to spread. Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi thus began a pattern of openly competing and improving while secretly befriending and exchanging skills.
Later, seeing that it was difficult for Beibei to guarantee a win rate when using only her martial soul, she took the lead in using a soul tool in a two-person soul battle.
Originally, Bei Bei's attacks and Xu Sanshi's defenses were barely evenly matched. Now, Bei Bei took the lead in introducing soul tools to assist in the battle. Not to mention that the offensive soul tools amplified his advantage in attack power, let's talk about the trigger-type defensive soul tools.
This soul tool was a huge help to Bei Bei. Xu Sanshi's defense wasn't just about offense; although the Xuanwu Shield was called a shield, it was actually a combination of offense and defense. If Xu Sanshi's first soul skill, Xuanwu Zhen, were to hit Bei Bei directly, Bei Bei would basically be powerless to retaliate for five breaths.
In a battle between experts, even the slightest difference can lead to total defeat. If Beibei cannot launch a counterattack within five breaths, she is basically guaranteed to lose, with no possibility of a comeback.
Therefore, without the assistance of a trigger-type defensive soul tool, Bei Bei had to be constantly on guard against Xu Sanshi's counterattacks, which often prevented him from attacking with all his might and wasted his soul power.
Now equipped with a trigger-based defensive soul tool, Bei Bei attacked with unrestrained and aggressive style, completely disregarding Xu Sanshi's counterattacks. As the saying goes, prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat; unable to mount an effective counterattack, Xu Sanshi was utterly powerless in the first few soul battles after Bei Bei began using the soul tool.
Xu Sanshi was furious. They were using soul tools too. But where was he, a martial soul system student, supposed to get soul tools? Should he buy them all from Shrek City? Considering cost-effectiveness, the obvious choice was to order them from the soul tool department.
Over time, Xu Sanshi developed an interest in soul tools, and the relationship between Beibei and Xu Sanshi became more harmonious as they occasionally studied the matching and application of soul tools together.
With a new type of powerful soul tool now available, Beibei wanted to let her good friend see it for himself.
As a result, they encountered the overconfident Long You, who wanted to fight two against one. Bei Bei, determined not to let her junior brother be so presumptuous, dragged Xu Sanshi into the fray as well.
