Chapter 254 Flaws in Battle Armor Design

Chapter 254 Flaws in Battle Armor Design

"Really?"

Huo Yuhao shook Tianmeng awake from her slumber in the Sea of ​​Spirit.

These two beasts in the sea of ​​spirit would sleep like pigs whenever it was time for them to travel, and they didn't even notice that they had arrived.

"What's real or fake?"

Tianmeng yawned and revealed herself. Huo Yuhao also subconsciously summoned his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul. The Martial Soul then descended on its own, transformed into human form, and took a step forward to pull Xue Di's arm.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly.

Perhaps I shouldn't have created this spirit mimicry back then. Now, I probably use my second spirit less often than Ice Emperor does.

"It's nothing major. We were just talking about how you withstood the erosion of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow. The Snow Emperor said that you were probably completely frozen as soon as you fell in, locking away your life force. You were lucky enough to stick to the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, which allowed you to slowly absorb it and also happened to avoid being locked by the Heavenly Tribulation."

How could Tianmeng know what had happened back then? When she was fully conscious, there was only Hyotei guarding her side, and she learned about her situation from Hyotei.

The only thing I remember is waking up a few times during the middle of the night, but because my mind was not yet developed, I didn't retain any impression of it.

Tianmeng scratched her head and said, "Maybe that's true, after all, I've been sleeping the whole time."

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll go and see for myself. I refuse to believe that my ultimate ice martial soul can't withstand it."

Since we're already here, we should at least take a look. Besides, even if we don't enter the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave, Huo Yuhao will personally transport the outer Ice Extreme Divine Crystals to the Undead Demiplane.

Xue Di said indifferently, "Whatever you want."

After briefly adjusting their breathing, the three of them floated up and descended into the well.

As for the Ice Bear King, he remained outside, firstly to guard the area and prevent the people from the Earth Dragon Gate from seeing this place, and secondly...

Even if the Ice Bear King were to transform, it still wouldn't be able to squeeze into the well...

As soon as he entered the well, a chilling aura swept over him. However, since it was only the outer perimeter of the mine, and a weakened version that had been isolated, Huo Yuhao was still able to withstand it.

At the same time, the soul power within the body was operating at full capacity, absorbing the ice attribute power from the cold spring.

For Huo Yuhao, who is currently only at the Soul Sect level, these cold springs are considered good things, as they can promote the growth of his cultivation.

"Below zero degrees Celsius, it's well past the critical point where water freezes, yet there's still no sign of it freezing... Could it be supercooled water?"

"That doesn't seem like it either, since supercooled water will condense quickly if it's shaken."

Feeling the coolness of the well water, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but let his mind wander again.

Hyotei's voice suddenly rang out: "Cold water, what's that?"

Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at the Ice and Snow Emperors following behind him. Their swimming style was very graceful, and they could go quite deep with a light stroke. In comparison, Huo Yuhao's breaststroke looked quite comical.

But unfortunately, Huo Yuhao only knows this one swimming style.

"It's nothing, just a physical phenomenon."

Huo Yuhao gave a vague answer, while simultaneously analyzing the changes in muscles and soul power that the two had experienced while swimming, and improving his own swimming style.

"A physical phenomenon?"

Clearly, Hyotei was intrigued by Huo Yuhao's words.

It's just that the Ice Palace rarely sees Huo Yuhao studying ice-attribute power. Now it seems that Huo Yuhao actually has a certain understanding of ice-attribute power.

"I define the temperature at which water freezes naturally as zero degrees Celsius, and the temperature at which water boils under normal conditions as 100 degrees Celsius. Water that reaches zero degrees Celsius or even lower but does not freeze for some reason is called supercooled water."

"As for the specific conditions... the container for holding the water must be smooth enough and free from external disturbances, and the water must be pure enough and free of impurities."

"It's clearly at freezing temperature, but it hasn't frozen?"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's description, Ice Emperor found it quite interesting, and even Snow Empress cast an interested glance at him.

"However, this phenomenon seems quite common. There are many such waters in the far north. The temperature of the spring water here would have frozen long ago outside, but for some reason it hasn't. Would you consider it supercooled water?"

"I don't know about that. I'm still a beginner when it comes to playing with ice."

As they chatted, Huo Yuhao had already reached a depth of about 25 meters in the well, and with the help of mental detection, he quickly found a small protrusion.

Grasping the protrusion, Huo Yuhao stepped onto the well wall and pulled outwards with all his might.

After pulling the protrusion out a little, a dent suddenly appeared on the well wall behind you; that was the second mechanism.

Only by pressing it down, and then pressing the raised mechanism completely, can the seal be truly opened.

"Luckily, I was waiting for you to come and explore this place together."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's actions, even Xue Di had to admit that when it came to playing mind games, she couldn't beat others.

Although Xue Di's goal was the bottom of the well, upon seeing this protrusion on the way, Xue Di knew she would press it, thus falling into the designer's trap.

If Xue Di wasn't mistaken, if she hadn't followed the predetermined steps like Huo Yuhao, but instead blindly pressed the initial protruding mechanism, she would have faced either a highly lethal trap or an encirclement and annihilation by the entire Earth Dragon Gate. Of course, it was also possible that both would come at once.

Although Xue Di wasn't afraid, as long as her heart and brain remained intact, most injuries wouldn't be a problem for her. After all, the life essence she had accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years was still sealed within her body, and she could easily draw some to repair her body if she wanted.

However, this is, after all, a human city, and Xiaobai is a soul beast, so it cannot suppress all those who resist with force as it did before.

As Huo Yuhao pressed the protrusion down forcefully until it was completely embedded in the stone wall, the entire stone wall began to tremble slightly. Huo Yuhao turned around and saw that a doorway, only large enough for one person to squeeze through, had quietly opened.

"Hmm, the commotion is smaller than expected. It seems that Xiaobai doesn't need to deal with the people from the Earth Dragon Gate."

With a gentle push forward, Huo Yuhao's figure surged forward a great distance, rushing into the portal.

Outside, it was clearly underwater, but inside, separated by just one door, was a dry and cold place.

There seemed to be a strange power within this portal, preventing even a drop of the icy spring water from seeping in. Even when Huo Yuhao crawled in, the icy spring water that had gotten on his body was completely filtered out by that strange power, and he instantly became dry.

Just as Huo Yuhao was curiously analyzing the principle behind the portal, the Ice and Snow Emperors, who were a step behind him, also used it to pass through the portal.

A flash of pale blue light appeared, and a wisp of emerald green floated out from outside the blue barrier, gently swirled once, and gracefully landed on the ground—it was Hyotei.

The next instant, a pale blue light flashed again, and Snow Empress followed Ice Empress's movements, spinning out and landing gracefully on the ground.

"What a nice view……"

For a moment, Huo Yuhao was stunned.

This scene is strikingly similar to an animation from my memory where a god emerges from the water. No, the Ice and Snow Emperors are even more beautiful than the scenes in the game.

"Hey, what are you spacing out for?"

Hyotei raised her hand and waved it in front of Huo Yuhao.

"Oh……"

Somewhat embarrassed, Huo Yuhao turned his head away and changed the subject, saying, "There are quite a few Ice Extreme God Crystals here. To improve efficiency, I would appreciate it if you two could help collect them."

"Alright."

Hyotei didn't care about the way; anyway, it was rare for her to come out, so it was good for her to get some exercise.

Xue Di nodded slightly.

"Oh, right, remember to pack the Ice Crystals containing Ice Spirit separately from those that don't."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao mobilized the power of extreme ice and casually took out a piece of ice-grade divine crystal.

"With so many Ice God Crystals, it should be enough to forge battle armor, and..."

After sensing it, I found that this piece of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal in my hand contains Ice Spirit.

"I've practiced the Thousand Refinements for so long, but I still haven't been able to complete the Spirit Forging. But could this rare metal, which is imbued with spirituality, open a breakthrough for my Spirit Forging path?"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Bingdi suddenly remembered something and turned to Huo Yuhao, saying, "By the way, Yuhao, once you've finished researching that battle armor, remember to make one for Xuedi as well."

When there's something good, how can I forget my best friend?

"understood."

Huo Yuhao didn't refuse. After all, Xue Di herself was of the ice attribute, the same as Hui Hui's. Huo Yuhao only needed to make some minor adjustments to create a battle armor that was suitable for Xue Di.

Besides, the Snow Empress herself said that ninety percent of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow below would be given to Huo Yuhao. Compared to that, crafting a battle armor for the Snow Empress is nothing at all.

"Battle armor?"

Xue Di looked puzzled. What new thing have humans come up with this time?

Huo Yuhao explained, "It's a soul tool that amplifies all attributes while also having some defensive capabilities. The current design level is roughly enough to give a Soul King the combat power of a Soul Saint. Of course, it's still in the research stage."

"Such a big improvement?"

Xue Di raised an eyebrow. As a powerful figure who had risen step by step, Xue Di still vaguely remembered how big the gap was between a Soul King and a Soul Saint.

If most Soul Kings can't defeat 10,000-year-old Soul Beasts, then Soul Saints can consider challenging 50,000-year-old Soul Beasts. The difference in the age of the corresponding Soul Beasts alone is so great that the actual difference is more than five times.

Thinking of this, Xue Di asked with some concern, "Is there a finished product, or even just a prototype?"

Huo Yuhao coughed lightly and said, "The finished product isn't ready yet, since the material issue still needs to be resolved with these Ice Extreme God Crystals. However, the spiritual attribute material for the head is already finished."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao summoned the battle armor on his head and activated the soul power amplification array inside. Instantly, Huo Yuhao's aura surged dramatically, faintly touching the threshold of the Soul King realm.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's condition, Xue Di frowned slightly.

"The cohesion of your power has indeed increased, but it's superficial and lacks staying power... Your ability to sustain combat must have declined considerably, right?"

Under Xue Di's influence, Huo Yuhao's aura increased significantly at first, but then it declined slightly. Although it was not obvious, it was clear that it was still unknown whether this amplification ability could cover the entire battle.

"It will have some impact on endurance. If you include the recovery time between battles, the duration should be about 15% less than in normal battles."

Huo Yuhao did not expect that Xue Di could see through the essence of the amplification at a glance.

After all, it's an equivalent exchange; without extra effort, how could there be such a high increase?

The Snow Empress casually broke off a piece of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal and said, "Since that's the case, I'd better not use it. After all, it's just equivalent to an amplification soul skill."

With hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation, the Snow Emperor has mastered many temporary enhancement methods and does not lack the enhancement of this battle armor.

Huo Yuhao said unwillingly, "This is no ordinary amplification soul skill. If it is fully developed, it is possible for a Soul King to kill a Soul Saint, or for a Soul Saint to kill a Titled Soul Master."

This was a project that Huo Yuhao had painstakingly designed over the course of a year. How could Huo Yuhao accept being looked down upon by Xue Di like this?

"I don't understand soul tools, but I do have a say in matters of amplification and fighting beyond one's level."

The Snow Empress said calmly, "With your Soul King cultivation, even if you forcibly amplify yourself to the level of a Soul Saint, how many attacks can you launch with your soul power? Do you think the Soul Saint on the other side is a fool? Seeing your burst of power, they don't even dodge or defend, just letting you attack them?"

"At that time, what makes you think you, a Soul Saint who has only been enhanced, can instantly kill someone who has genuinely cultivated to the Soul Saint level?"

"And don't Soul Saints have any unleashing methods? Did they use their Martial Soul True Body? Did they use their amplified Soul Skills?"

"In the end, it's nothing more than flashy but impractical."

Boom—!

Xue Di's words were like a thunderclap in Huo Yuhao's ears.

"Bing'er, it seems that the peace in the far north has made you a little complacent. You didn't even notice such an obvious problem."

"Snow Emperor..."

Hyotei reluctantly took Yuki's hand and acted coquettishly.

Hyotei really can't be blamed for this in actual combat.

Before the Ice Emperor was born, the far north had been mostly dealt with by the Snow Emperor, and the Ice Emperor was mostly doing odd jobs.

The Ice Jade Scorpion race does not have any special talent for unleashing its power, and there is nothing that would make the Ice Emperor Scorpion, as the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, unleash its power.

By that time, the Snow Emperor would have already taken action.

So Hyotei can handle crushing victories, but they rarely fight evenly matched battles and have little sense of vigilance. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been caught by Tenmu's scheme.

"Battery life, battery life..."

Huo Yuhao remained lost in thought.

Unless there's absolutely nothing to refer to in Douluo Continent III, it's impossible for the battle armor that occupies such a large portion of the story in Douluo Continent III to be without any possibility of being created.

Since the battle armor is credible, the problem must lie with me. What else could I have overlooked?

The completion of battle armor requires designers, blacksmiths, makers, and repairmen.

Blacksmith.

The alloy has been created, but the degree of integration is still uncertain; there are no standards yet…

However, for a one-word battle armor, the minimum requirement is only a thousand forgings. The current choice of spirit alloy is solely for integration into the body, and this aspect has already been successful, so there are no problems.

Producer.

There are no obvious problems with the soul guidance array inscription. Even if there are differences in the technological accumulation over ten thousand years, the amplification array changes only in terms of amplification intensity and will not directly cause problems with the battle armor.

After eliminating the two professions without obvious problems, the remaining issues arise in the other two professions.

Battle armor designer and battle armor repairman...

What exactly went wrong that caused such a major flaw in the battle armor I developed?
