Chapter 108: Can a Mere Metal Creation Be This Powerful?(Bonus)

At present, he was still far from becoming a Divine Blacksmith, and he had yet to deduce the method for forging four-word battle armor. Otherwise, if he could equip his uncle-in-law, Huo Lie, with a set of four-word battle armor, he would be able to walk across the continent unhindered.

After all, any four-word battle armor master, even if their soul power level was only at the initial stages of the ninth ring, would still be considered a rank 99 ultimate combat force in this era.

Of course, if he truly became a Divine Blacksmith, he wouldn't even need a powerful backer. He would naturally rank among the strongest experts on the continent.

After all, the primary requirement for becoming a Divine Blacksmith was comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, as well as assisting metal in withstanding elemental tribulation lightning. This required the blacksmith to possess considerable strength.

Because of this, while Divine Blacksmiths in later generations might not necessarily be the strongest of their era, they were by no means weak.

If he succeeded, donned four-word battle armor, and unleashed a martial soul fusion skill, he would likely be able to handle newly ascended God with ease.

"Really? My Mu Yang is amazing!"

Upon hearing that there could be an even more advanced version of battle armor in the future, Shui Bing'er's eyes sparkled with admiration and pride.

Mu Yang nodded proudly. "Of course! Come on, let's find Aunt to test our strength."

After that, the three of them left their residence. Shui Bing'er activated her Ice Phoenix martial soul, spreading her icy phoenix wings. Holding Shui Yue'er in one hand and Mu Yang in the other, she soared toward the snow-capped peak behind the academy's main campus.

"Where's Aunt?"

After circling the simulated training grounds in the snow mountain without finding Shui Yan Yu, Shui Bing'er asked in confusion.

"Look over there! What is that?"

Suddenly, Shui Yue'er pointed into the distance.

Following her direction, Mu Yang saw an enormous white mushroom cloud rising over the distant sea.

Seeing this, Mu Yang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

If he wasn't mistaken, this mushroom cloud was likely the result of a mistake during Shui Yan Yu's attempt to condense her soul core.

A soul core was formed by compressing a soul master's soul power and combining it with a large amount of heaven and earth energy. If this process lost control, it would turn into a powerful energy bomb. If the explosion were strong enough, it would create a mushroom cloud upon detonation.

Well, hopefully, Shui Yan Yu was alright.

Before long, a figure flew over from the direction of the mushroom cloud and landed in front of the three.

"Aunt, what just happened?"

Shui Bing'er asked curiously as she looked at the somewhat disheveled Shui Yan Yu.

"Ahem, I was testing a secret technique."

Shui Yan Yu coughed and brushed it off while casting a meaningful glance at Mu Yang.

Earlier, Mu Yang had given her a "Soul Core Secret Technique", which made the process of forming a first soul core seem ridiculously simple—almost as if anyone could do it.

And indeed, the process seemed straightforward enough: compress soul power, keep it spinning, and absorb external energy. It sounded easy.

However, after actually attempting it, Shui Yan Yu discovered that forming a soul core was far more difficult than she had anticipated. It started off manageable, but as the soul power was further compressed, the difficulty in control increased dramatically. A slight mistake could lead to a loss of control.

Thankfully, she was strong and reacted quickly. Each time, she managed to escape in time; otherwise, she might have been blown up by the uncontrolled energy compression.

Sure enough, reaching the level of a Title Douluo was no easy feat, even with shortcuts.

"So, why did you three come looking for me?"

Shui Yan Yu changed the subject.

"Aunt, Mu Yang created something amazing! Now, even Yue'er has become a powerhouse, and we'd like you to test her strength."

The still-excited Shui Yue'er nodded eagerly. Her ego, still inflated from her newfound power, made her look at Shui Yan Yu with eager battle intent.

With the Water Fairy Battle Armor in her possession, her strength had skyrocketed. How could she not test it against a strong opponent?

"Oh? Is that so?"

Shui Yan Yu scrutinized Shui Yue'er with doubt.

She acknowledged that her niece had been cultivating at an astonishing speed, far beyond her expectations, but calling her a powerhouse? That was pushing it.

Meeting her aunt's skeptical gaze, Shui Yue'er smiled slightly. A blue light flashed around her body, and the Water Fairy Battle Armor manifested instantly.

"Crystal Jade Sea Dolphin, possess!"

With a soft cry, Shui Yue'er activated her martial soul. As the sound of crashing waves echoed, five soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, black, and black—lit up around her.

In the next second, under the enhancement of the Water Fairy Battle Armor, the soul power aura Shui Yue'er emitted, originally at the level of a five-ring Soul King, instantly surged to that of a seven-ring Soul Sage.

"Soul Sage?!"

Sensing Shui Yue'er's sudden surge in soul power, Shui Yan Yu's eyes widened in shock.

Shui Yue'er's soul rings remained unchanged—yellow, yellow, purple, black, black—but her aura was in no way inferior to an ordinary seven-ring Soul Sage. In fact, she even seemed stronger than some who had just reached the seventh ring.

"What is that thing?"

Fixing her gaze on the Water Fairy Battle Armor Shui Yue'er wore, Shui Yan Yu turned to Mu Yang and asked.

Mu Yang answered directly: "Battle armor. It allows a five-ring Soul King to leap two whole ranks in strength. The effect weakens for those above the fifth ring."

"Hiss—"

Shui Yan Yu took a sharp breath.

A five-ring Soul King turning into a seven-ring Soul Sage? That was insane!

As expected, there was a reason geniuses did things differently.

Previously, Mu Yang had spent years learning blacksmithing, hammering away every day. Although Shui Yan Yu hadn't objected, she had always found it a bit wasteful.

But now, she realized she had underestimated the potential of a blacksmith—or rather, a forger.

Mu Yang had actually developed something revolutionary.

She could tell that Shui Yue'er's battle armor wasn't made from ordinary metal but rather a material that had undergone special forging.

Even though the enhancement effect weakened beyond the fifth ring, that didn't change the fact that battle armor was a supreme treasure for soul masters.

After all, the power gap between a five-ring Soul King and a seven-ring Soul Sage was massive.

As one of the elemental academies,Sky Water Academy was not a weak force on the continent, yet among its top experts, apart from herself—an eight-ring Soul Douluo—there were only four Soul Sages. And not all of them were battle-type Soul Sages.

In other words, ten or so Soul Kings equipped with battle armor could easily overthrow Sky Water Academy.

She had never imagined that a mere metal creation could be so powerful.

Actually, Shui Yan Yu was still underestimating the true potential of "metal creations." The most terrifying ones could obliterate the entire Douluo Continent with a single blast.

After a long moment, recovering from her shock, Shui Yan Yu looked at Shui Yue'er.

"Yue'er, come, let Aunt test the quality of your battle armor."

Shui Yue'er: "…"

Aunt, aren't you getting this wrong? Shouldn't you be testing my strength, not just the battle armor?!
