The moment he carried out those two actions, his meridians reacted violently. 

They began to circulate his technique ferociously causing the mana in the entire stadium to get pulled towards his body, and as it funneled through his meridians it was condensed into spirit mana before exiting his body in a light show. 

It exited his body as extremely bright white lightning tinged with gold. As the bright lightning encompassed the entire stage, his body continued to produce spirit mana. The extra spirit mana that was being produced snuggled his body and condensed more and more until it began to take physical form, as it was condensing it was also absorbing all of the bright lightning that continuously flaring around like wild beast. 

It began to form the outline of an armor and Horo could feel it adjusting to his being as if to perfect accommodate every aspect of his existence. Horo thought back to the cultivation world, where his family had a supreme treasure passed down through generations, it was an armor called "Heaven's Tribulation". 

He didn't know why he thought of this at this moment, but as soon as he did the armor suddenly completed itself within the next breath. 

That surprised Horo, and as he looked down to check out the armor he was baffled. 

This armor looked just like the one in the memory he just had. 

It was a full slim armor mostly made of metal, and leather in other parts, or at least the condensed lightning and spirit mana imitated the likeness of metal and leather. It had lightning like patterns engraved all over it, and the main attraction was large vertical eye on the chest of it. It looked exactly like a heaven's eye. 

There was other special looking parts of the armor, but Horo didn't get the chance to finish giving it a visual inspection because he heard a notification loud and clear. 

"You have created the {Hybrid Skill} [Bright Spirit Armor]"

Horo had many thoughts at this moment, like what was a hybrid skill? And was the other Armor Skill he unintentionally created a hybrid skill ?

Alma had answers for him.

"Father, a {Hybrid Skill} is a skill that's also partially a treasure, I believe only you have the ability to create hybrid skills due to your special circumstances. Maybe also Himora, and yes your other armor is also another hybrid skill."

Horo didn't get the chance to read the information from the other skill because it had popped up on his status panel while he was unconscious and he didn't hear the creation notification since he was fighting Kusho. 

He chose to read the description since the time it took for him to do it wouldn't be long, when communicating with Alma or the panel it all happened in instances, much faster than described.

....

Horo could feel the boosts and effects granted by the armor. He had decided he would name this armor that's also considered a treasure in order to improve its capabilities. 

His entire body was covered except his head, and as Judy looked at him in shock, she nearly prostrated herself out of fear and reverence. 

She could feel the power radiating from his being, whatever this skill is that he's using is definitely a tier beyond what he should be capable of using with a white quality mana core. 

What she didn't know was that Horo didn't have a regular mana core, he had a spirit mana core, and on top of that he had an immortal core directly connected to it. 

Even he didn't know the benefits offered by the connection of the two cores, besides an extra energy reserve, as he has yet to experience any additional benefits. 

What he did know though was that this armor skill gave him a boost equal to or greater than the boost she gained from her aura. 

When all of the dazzling lightning was restricted to him everyone including the palace master felt aw, but all of the supreme experts of the sect easily rejected the reverence effect. 

The palace master squinted her eyes, she noticed that this armor did indeed boost Horo's strength more than Judy's aura did for her. She wondered could Horo be one of the legendary geniuses who could use aura in the Foundation stage? 

For someone as powerful as the palace master to mistake Horo's hybrid skill for a complete incarnation proved how much of an enigma he is. 

As Judy stood ahead with shocked face in silence Horo laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha ha, not to much babbling now huh? Well it was great sparring with you miss Judy. I hope to enjoy you and the rest of the disciples presence in the future."

He said as if making a closing statement. 

And then….

All she saw was a flash as a bright bolt reached out from his armor and tagged her in an instant causing her to get paralyzed by his [Paralyzing Strike] skill. 

After that instance of a bright flash, Horo was gone from her view, and before she knew it she was swept off of her feet 

He had appeared directly behind her and performed a sweeping kick causing her took began falling sideways extremely fast. 

But before she hit the ground, he performed a strange movement while rotating, which allowed him to transition directly from that sweeping kick to a backward down kick aimed at her head. 

She had not control other body still because of his skill so he effortlessly landed the kick, which didn't have much power or any added skills except [Paralyzing Strike]. 

Everything went black for her as the electrical current shut her brain down. 

The Entire crowd stood in silence for a couple of breaths, that felt like centuries. 

Suddenly there was small and slow clapping noise, but with each clap it sounded as if it was getting louder and louder, even though the person clapping never added more force behind the claps. The slow claps eventually started sounding like thunder, and the last clapped could have been mistaken for a supernova. 

Ha ha ha, to think I would actually grow to fancy someone of this talentless generation, and a very young male that's not even truly part of the palace no less, hnnff. 

Everyone was shocked beyond any level they were previously today. Just for a moment, to every single person present, this was an even greater shock than everything else that occurred today. 

This was because the person to say such a thing, was the even more enigmatic "Immovable Elder May".
