Three months later.
Gengxin City, Blacksmiths Association.
In the hall, businessmen and customers were coming and going, the crowds were crowded, the noise was endless, and there was a warm breath in the air.
Ning Xiaotian walked in slowly, the setting sun was like blood, the orange-red afterglow illuminated the slender figure, and the black shadow under his feet stretched like a ghost.
"Ta da da da" He walked slowly, and everyone avoided where he passed. More and more people stopped and looked sideways, as silent as cicadas. The air in the hall was still warm, but it made people feel a bone-chilling coldness, as if coming from deep in the soul. at.
Twenty-nine consecutive victories, this is Ning Xiaotian's current achievement in the arena, only one game away from thirty consecutive victories.
In the past three months, although he had not fought many battles, only nine, his opponents in each battle were soul kings with rich fighting experience. In addition, after the war, he devoted himself to practicing soul power sword condensation and weight-bearing training every day. His soul power became more solid, his body became stronger, his eyes became sharper, and his mental power also increased a little.
Although the murderous aura in his body is restrained, the accumulated power is deep in his soul.
The bookishness was gone, and he now looked more like a brave warrior.
Of course, the reputation has become louder.
Many soul masters do not like to come to the Blacksmith Association because they have martial souls and do not need the forged equipment. Most of the people standing in the hall at this time were civilians, blacksmiths, merchants... and contestants in the arena. They were aware of what had happened in the arena in recent months.
Even went to see it.
After twenty consecutive victories in the Arena, you must enter the Protagonist Arena to fight, which is a venue that can accommodate 60,000 people.
Now in Gengxin City, the flow of people in the gladiatorial arena has exceeded that of the soul fighting arena, all because of the man in front of him.
He is making history for Gengxin City.
Each of the previous nine battles was pleasing to the eye, as if they were playing, "avoiding" all the enemy's moves, and then counterattacking without directly killing the opponent. It seemed that they were deliberately teaching, and many battle soul masters were attracted by it. Come and watch and learn.
Before the 30th game even started, the handicap had already been opened in the Arena.
Many people have placed their bets and are waiting for him to play.
...
As soon as he walked up to the second floor, Silong came up to him and led Ning Xiaotian to the fifth floor.
The door was open, and Ning Xiaotian walked in directly.
Silong is now the president of the Blacksmiths Association and is very busy with his affairs, so he left as soon as he brought people there.
"Click" the door was closed by Silong.
Lou Gao was sitting on the seat in front of the round platform. There were two beautifully packed boxes on the platform. Seeing Ning Xiaotian coming, he stood up quickly and said excitedly: "Xiaotian, come on, come on. Look at my results.”
With that said, he opened one of the boxes and pushed it in Ning Xiaotian's direction, looking proud.
"Lao Gao, you have to pay attention to your health." Ning Xiaotian walked quickly, frowning. Lou Gao now had two dark circles under his eyes, and his eye sockets were sunken. Although his face was rosy due to excitement, the look in his pupils was still there. There is no hiding the slightest trace of fatigue.
"It's not a big deal, I'm a Soul Saint, just squint and it'll be fine." Lou Gao patted his belly and said nonchalantly.
It seems that my father has to explicitly limit the working hours of the building... Ning Xiaotian shook his head helplessly and glanced at the countertop. The space inside the box was divided into many grids. The first three small grids were staggered and placed. Three pairs of mother and son pursue their souls and take their lives.
The rest of the grids are mostly narrow rectangles, with dozens of bone-penetrating needles, overlord needles, armor-piercing needles, Mingyin needles, dragon-breaking needles, and seven-killing needles...
"Old Gao, that's amazing! You cast all the twelve divine needles with peacock feathers so quickly, and you made so many...even three pairs of soul-hunting and life-killing gallbladders were made." Ning Xiaotian arrived. Beside the round table, he stroked the edge of the box and praised it.
"Hehe, it's not bad." Lou Gao puffed out his big belly, patted it, and said with a smile: "Since I got the drawings, I have been studying them, except for the Zimu Soul-Chasing Life-Destroying gallbladder, the Thunder Fire Needle, and the Hades Needle. ...It is not difficult to make other concealed weapons.”
"That's pretty awesome." Ning Xiaotian shook his head. Not only does the Soul-Chasing Life-Destroying Gallbladder contain hundreds of bone-transforming needles, but it is also equipped with a large amount of paralyzing toxins. It is not easy to make. Three pairs can be made. It is said to be extremely remarkable.
As for the Thunder Fire Needle, it contains a high concentration of gunpowder, so it is a bold and careful job, while the Ming Yin Needle is highly poisonous. If you accidentally touch it or inhale a large amount, your life will be in danger even if you are high up in the building.
When he prepared poison for Lou Gao, he warned him to be careful and even taught Xuan Yushou.
But Lou Gao was so moved that the friendship between the two became a year-end friendship from then on.
"It's all thanks to a few of my disciples who took over the subsequent casting of your armor, which helped me free up a lot of time." Lou Gao smiled. He was proud of the success of his disciples.
With that said, Lou Gao pushed another box next to him in front of Ning Xiaotian, "Here, your suit."
"Done?" Ning Xiaotian said happily.
The completion of the battle armor casting means that his purpose of coming to Gengxin City can finally be declared complete.
In the past few months, in cooperation with Lou Gao, he has actually successively made many hand-thrown concealed weapons with slightly simpler manufacturing processes, and collected them. Now this batch is the most complete, and including what I have on hand, it is enough.
In particular, the story of the mother-in-law chasing souls and killing her has finally been completed. And there were still three pairs, which greatly exceeded his expectations. This was a powerful weapon in team battles.
As for boxing skills, although he has only fought twenty-nine times, life and death battles are different from sparring. He has already gained enough.
Especially the change in mentality. He has now adapted to blood and death. I believe that even if he enters the killing city now, he can adapt quickly.
In addition, the environment in Gengxin City is lacking in spiritual energy and is not very suitable for soul power cultivation. Maybe it is time to leave... Ning Xiaotian secretly thought that after reaching level 40, he still has to find a suitable soul beast as a soul ring.
During this period of time, he has found out that in the southwest desert of Xingluo, near the volcanic belt, there are gem-type defensive soul beasts, which are most suitable for use as the fourth soul ring. The journey is long, so he has to set off in advance and seek a breakthrough along the way. Not a bad idea.
Putting the hidden weapon into the soul guide, Ning Xiaotian took the long box.
Opening the box, a strange dark gray breastplate was revealed. The inside looked a bit like black leather underwear, and the outside was wrapped with several pieces of dark gray armor. The surface was smooth and abrupt, resembling the muscles of the human body, and they were closely connected together. .
"Pick it up and take a look." Lou Gao smiled.
Is there still a universe inside? Ning Xiaotian nodded, held the breastplate shoulders with both hands, took out the armor, prepared to say, pulled it out, and picked up the entire armor. He finally got a glimpse of the armor in its entirety.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Lou Gao, "This is actually an all-in-one armor!"
"Not bad!" Lou Gao nodded and sighed at the joint between the fingernails: "Originally, I wanted to make the entire suit of armor out of memory metal, but unfortunately I didn't succeed, so I had to settle for the next best thing and use a malleable alloy. "
"The inner part that is close to the skin is made of ductile alloy. The advantage is that it can avoid collision with the skin due to large movements. Moreover, I also used simulated muscle structure, which is what I am most proud of. place."
Lou Gao said excitedly: "I started researching this simulated muscle a long time ago. I just dissected the soul beast before and never actually made it. This time I finally made it."
"Simulated muscles?" Ning Xiaotian wondered.
"To put it simply, it is equivalent to laying a layer of real muscles on your body surface, and it is more tough and stronger than your own muscles. It can protect you from muscle strain during high-intensity battles. Due to the material's The ductility and elasticity will also produce thrust during combat, allowing your speed, strength, muscle response, and body flexibility to become higher."
Lou Gao tried his best to explain the awesomeness of his masterpiece in simple words.
"Powered exoskeleton?" Ning Xiaotian's eyes lit up. He had heard of this equipment on the military channel in his previous life. It can provide extra energy for limb movements and enhance the basic abilities of the human body. For example, it allows ordinary people to easily lift hundreds of pounds of weight.
"Lao Gao, you are equivalent to creating a new soul bone!" Ning Xiaotian took a deep breath and praised.
"It's far behind..." Lou Gao shook his head and sighed: "This kind of alloy can only withstand the power of a high-level soul emperor at most. If a soul saint like me wears it, once he uses soul skills, he will be more powerful than a martial soul." body, the alloy will instantly break."
