Chapter 33: We’re Too Lazy to Explain, and You’re Not Worthy of Listening

"What's so strange about it? When I equip my four-word battle armor and god-level mecha, my aura and soul power pressure also increase exponentially."

The deeply bonded nature of their friendship made Zhen Hua not even glance at Mu Ye before immediately activating his taunting mode:"Is your cultivation the same as Di Tian's?"

"At the level of an Ultimate Douluo, the effectiveness of a god-level mecha diminishes progressively. A four-word battle armor can push an Ultimate Douluo at the half-god level to the threshold of a quasi-god, but for an Ultimate Douluo who has already reached the quasi-god level, the boost is minimal."

"Right now, Di Tian's cultivation is undoubtedly beyond that of a quasi-god-level Ultimate Douluo. Even if a four-word battle armor is linked with a god-level mecha, it shouldn't provide such a massive increase in power."

Hearing this, Mu Ye immediately reacted, and his face turned extremely grim."You mean… Di Tian's battle armor has reached the five-word level as theorized by our predecessors? True god-level?!"

Zhen Hua's expression was equally awful, and his voice even trembled slightly:"I fear it's not just the battle armor… but also the mecha…"

The so-called red god-level mecha was merely crafted from heavenly refined metal. It was just god-level in name but not in essence.

Good heavens! How could the opposition of humanity produce such a terrifying monstrous opponent?!Damn heavens! Why do the gods not favor humanity?!

At this moment, Di Tian's continuously rising aura reached its peak and began to undergo a major transformation.

The black-and-gold battle armor became increasingly mysterious, heavy, and profound, emanating an immeasurable presence with a tendency to conceal divine energy within.

The external mecha underwent even more dramatic changes. Its original uniform red of a god-level mecha was replaced with the same black-and-gold color scheme as the battle armor.

This color change was not a natural transformation but something Di Tian had deliberately altered.

There was no real reason—just because it looked cool!Since it didn't affect combat power at all, changing it to a color he liked also improved his mood.

Now that he had established a life connection with both his battle armor and mecha, he could naturally control them with his mind.

With a mere thought, Di Tian's battle armor and mecha vanished beneath his skin.

This was the exclusive ability of four-word battle armor and god-level mecha: living spirit. Whenever needed, they could be materialized from the void at will.

Since four-word battle armor and god-level mecha could do this, it was only natural that Di Tian's battle armor, which had now stepped into the five-word level, and his truly god-tier mecha could perform this ability even more effortlessly.

As Di Tian finished and retracted his power, Zhen Hua and Mu Ye exchanged glances, both seeing the shock and concern in each other's eyes.

Their concern was whether Di Tian's battle armor and mecha had truly advanced, and if so, whether the curse formation they had engraved on them had been exposed.

In a good mood, Di Tian seemed to have read their minds and answered their doubts outright.

"You guessed correctly. This set of battle armor and mecha has indeed advanced to the five-word level and true god-tier. Or, you could simply call them artifacts."

"Of course, to me, it's still not quite enough. Fully merging with two artifacts requires a long period of adjustment before I can wield them as if they were extensions of my own body."

Di Tian's confirmation completely crushed their last sliver of hope. Their already low spirits plummeted even further.

However, since Di Tian chose to explain, his intentions were clearly not just to educate them.

He lightly traced his fingers through the air, then flicked them in a twisting motion, forming a complex array of symbols.

As soon as the array took shape, wisps of purple-black demonic mist coiled around it, exuding a chilling, sinister aura.

"Tsk, a curse formation, designed to harm the soul."

"If my battle armor and mecha were attacked and damaged, these eerie symbols and curses would activate, aiming to deal me a fatal blow."

"But ultimately, it's just a mortal's trick—it cannot affect an artifact. When my battle armor and mecha ascended to the artifact level, this curse was naturally cleansed away."

"What I didn't expect, however, was that the renowned Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua and the Sect Master of the Body Sect, Mu Ye, would actually resort to the methods of an evil soul master."

"Hmph!" Now that they had been discovered, the hot-tempered Mu Ye decided to go all in.

"No matter what methods are used, as long as they can deal with you, they are good methods."

Di Tian remained indifferent.

"But regardless of the methods, once something is done, it's done. And once done, one must accept the consequences."

He sneered at Zhen Hua: "Did you really think I wouldn't notice you secretly observing my daily habits?"

"If you had time to analyze my routine, it seems that producing one set of four-word battle armor and a god-level mecha every six months isn't pressing enough."

"How about this—reduce the time by a third. From now on, complete one set every four months."

"That's impossible!" Before Zhen Hua could respond, Mu Ye shouted in fury.

"A project of such magnitude and complexity cannot be completed in just four months."

"I'm not negotiating with you, and you have no right to bargain," Di Tian replied coldly.

"Besides, President Zhen Hua should have a way to accelerate forging by burning his own life force."

"I found records of similar forging techniques in the blacksmithing handbooks I've read."

Mu Ye roared in anger:"Burning life force to increase the speed of forging heavenly refined metal—do you think that's a method that can be used casually?!"

"Are you trying to kill him?!"

"Haha, and what does that have to do with me?"

At this moment, Zhen Hua finally intervened, stopping Mu Ye, who was about to lose his mind with rage.

He spoke in a deep voice: "Fine."

"Beast God, can you tell me why your battle armor was able to evolve from four-word to five-word, god-tier?"

"For you, it's just a matter of saying a few words, but for a blacksmith like me, it's a problem I might never solve in my lifetime."

"Understanding this transformation will allow me to better forge battle armor and mechas for soul beasts."

"Please enlighten me."

Di Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at Zhen Hua, who had suddenly started addressing him with honorifics.

"Telling you is not an issue, but why should I?"

"Heh~"

"You two, just focus on your 'work.' Your time is running out."

With a statement carrying a double meaning, Di Tian turned and left.

Zhen Hua's little schemes were as transparent as daylight to him.

He simply wanted to find a way for human Soul Masters' battle armor to also evolve to the five-word level, so they could counter Di Tian.

Sure, telling them that it required nurturing with divine power and godly consciousness wouldn't hurt—after all, human Soul Masters had no divine power. They couldn't extract Dragon God blood like he could and take an unconventional route to evolution.

But he was too lazy to explain.

And these two weren't even worthy of listening.

Leaving the large forging chamber where they were confined, Di Tian headed directly to Xue Ling's room.

Ever since deciding to learn mecha repair, Xue Ling had rarely gone out.

With the guidance of top mentors, she had already gained an introductory understanding of mecha repairs.

Since the cultivation environment in the human world was far inferior to the core of the Extreme North, Xue Ling had been spending more time and effort on mecha training rather than on cultivation.
