"Oh?"
Hearing these words from Jing Hongchen, Su Yu's heart surged joyfully. Was his armor finally complete? Jing Hongchen revealed a faint smile and said, "Creating this set of armor for you has cost quite a bit of effort. I've never encountered body data as outrageous as yours."
With a slight flick of his right hand, Jing Hongchen sent several light orbs toward 13 specific points on Su Yu's body: his forehead, shoulders, chest, elbows, abdon, hips, knees, and hands. The light orbs burst into dazzling brilliance upon contact, and instantly, a finely crafted suit of armor materialized on Su Yu's body. The armor was predominantly pale green and white, with a faint icy blue glow emanating from the white sections. Every part of the armor was exquisitely designed, featuring elegant and intricate green-and-white patterns etched across its surface.
As soon as the armor appeared, Su Yu felt a newfound lightness in his body, as if he were brimming with boundless power. Two swords erged in Su Yu's hands: one green, one white. The green sword pulsed with intense wind energy; holding it, he could feel the currents of air. The white sword, on the other hand, was infused with piercing cold, its aura seemingly capable of freezing everything in its path. Behind Su Yu, three pairs of green-and-white wings unfolded. With just a slight flutter, he felt as if he could take to the skies at any mont. Wearing this armor, Su Yu could sense a massive boost to all his attributes.
"How does it feel?"
Jing Hongchen asked with a smile.
"I feel fantastic," Su Yu replied, looking down at the armor with satisfaction at both its functionality and appearance.
"Glad you're satisfied. Then all my efforts haven't gone to waste," Jing Hongchen said with a laugh.
"This armor is the most extravagant soul tool I've ever made. Although it's classified as a Level 6 soul tool, it requires materials typically reserved for the Level 8 soul tool. Your body is far too strong, and your power is too overwhelming. Ordinary Level 6 materials simply couldn't withstand repeated high-power usage. I had no choice but to use rare and precious tals to match your unique physique."
"The entire design revolves around your two martial souls. This armor possesses dual wind and ice attributes, amplifying both elents simultaneously. The three pairs of wings on your back are true Level 6 soul tools. Due to their wind attribute and exceptional quality, their speed rivals that of Level 7 flying soul tools."
"Embedded in the front of the armor is a Level 6 defensive soul tool: Absolute Barrier. It's a triggered device that automatically forms a protective shield when activated. Its defensive strength is on par with a Level 5 Invincible Shield and can be used multiple tis. The downside is its high soul power consumption. The stronger the attack it blocks, the faster it drains soul power. However, as a soul master with an Ultimate Martial Soul, your soul power is naturally far more abundant than others at the sa level, so this shouldn't be a significant issue for you."
"As for the two swords in your hands, they're the highest-grade items in this set. These are not Level 6 soul tools but Level 7. Even low-level soul masters can wield them. Each sword enhances your attacks significantly and cos with its fixed skills. You'll need to explore their abilities yourself."
"Lastly, this armor was designed with future upgrades in mind. I've left a chanism for you to enhance it further. Consider it a challenge for yourself."
Jing Hongchen finished speaking and took a long sip from his teacup. Even ng Hongchen, standing nearby, was left in awe.
"Using Level 8 materials to craft a Level 6 soul tool? It sounds easy enough, but the cost is astronomical. This is a full suit of armor, and just the rare tals alone must have cost at least a million gold soul coins. This isn't armor—it's pure money!" she thought.
Adding Jing Hongchen's ticulous design, the value of this armor was unimaginable. From the Absolute Barrier to the wings that rival Level 7 flying soul tools to the twin Level 7 swords—each component was priceless. What's more, the dual-elent design and upgrade potential made this creation an unprecedented masterpiece, achievable only by a top-tier Level 9 soul engineer like Jing Hongchen.Su Yu, too, was struck with astonishnt. As a soul engineer himself, he understood how much effort and expertise Jing Hongchen had poured into this project. Initially, Su Yu had just wanted a casual suit of armor. He never expected Jing Hongchen to go all out. This armor's value surpassed that of ordinary Level 8 soul tools and was infused with cutting-edge soul engineering techniques.
Feeling the weight of this gesture, Su Yu spoke earnestly, "Hall Master… thank you."
Jing Hongchen was montarily stunned before waving his hand dismissively.
"No need to thank . This is your well-deserved reward. But if you want to show your gratitude, win the championship for . This championship title for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournant has eluded us for thousands of years. If you bring it ho, I'll give you not just one set of armor, but five."
Su Yu grinned.
"Why not ten?"
Jing Hongchen's face darkened.
"You think you're funny, kid? Do you know how much ten sets of armor like this would cost? Over ten million gold soul coins! Do you think the academy's funds co from thin air?"
"Aren't they?"
"You!"
Jing Hongchen raised his hand as if to strike. Su Yu quickly jumped back, pulling ng Hongchen in front of him as a shield. Jing Hongchen's hand froze mid-air, and he glared at Su Yu before slowly lowering it.
"You cheeky rascal! I see you're itching for a beating."
"Hehe!"
Su Yu chuckled nervously.
"Just joking to lighten the mood!"
"Lighten the mood? You're trying to drive mad. And next ti…"
Jing Hongchen glanced at ng Hongchen.
"Don't hide behind ng."
"Hiding behind a woman, and you're not ashad?"
"Not ashad."
Su Yu nodded seriously, causing Jing Hongchen's face to darken further.
Watching the back-and-forth between the elder and the youth, ng Hongchen chuckled rrily.
"Hmph, fine. For ng's sake, I won't argue with you. But this ti, if you don't bring back the championship, just wait and see how I deal with you. I'll make your life miserable every day," Jing Hongchen threatened.
Su Yu feigned a look of fear at just the right mont, but his exaggerated, insincere expression showed no trace of actual concern. Jing Hongchen could only shake his head, both annoyed and amused.
Waving dismissively, he said, "Get lost. You've got your armor, so stop bothering ."
"Heh, we're off then. ng'er, let's go."
Su Yu wrapped an arm around ng Hongchen's waist, lifting her slightly before setting her down ahead of him. Then, holding her close, he swaggered off with her. Since their relationship was now official, Su Yu felt no need to hold back. Why sneak around when you're in love? He had no interest in such gas.
"That brat!"
Jing Hongchen shook his head, chuckling as he sipped his tea....
anwhile, Su Yu, now equipped with his new armor, was in high spirits. Holding ng Hongchen's hand, he strolled around the academy, running into several students along the way. Whenever a curious fan asked about his relationship with ng Hongchen, Su Yu openly acknowledged it, ensuring ng felt secure. Having just defined their relationship, ng Hongchen was in a phase of uncertainty and vulnerability. Su Yu was naturally attentive to her emotions.
As noon approached, Su Yu took ng out of the academy to explore Radiant City. They wandered through the streets, shopped for clothes, ate food, and enjoyed themselves like any ordinary couple. By evening, the two returned to the academy after a full day of fun.
"Yu, when will you move out?"
ng Hongchen suddenly asked, looking up at him.
Su Yu paused mid-step, surprised.
"ng'er, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Your situation has changed. Living alone might be better for you now," ng explained, her beautiful eyes shimring. Her suggestion was practical, but her real reason was personal—she wanted to be closer to Su Yu and have more ti with him now that they were together.
Su Yu shook his head.
"If I move out, Wang Dong will be left all alone. He doesn't have any friends here. If I leave, what will happen to him?"
"But..."
ng Hongchen lowered her head.
"If you live with him, it makes things... inconvenient for us."
Su Yu chuckled.
"It's fine. We're still young and don't have to worry about that kind of thing. There's nothing inconvenient about it."
"What are you even saying?"
ng's face turned bright red with embarrassnt.
Su Yu laughed, wrapping an arm around her.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? It'll happen soday anyway."
"You're so shaless! I'm not talking to you anymore."
ng pouted, her cheeks still flushed.
"Alright, alright. I'll stop."
Su Yu held her close, letting her rest in his arms.
After a mont, ng Hongchen muttered softly, "Yu, I feel like Wang Dong doesn't like very much."
"I'm not sure why, but he always seems wary of , like I'm trying to take sothing from him."
"I've been nice to him, but he still seems to dislike . What did I do wrong?"
ng looked up at Su Yu, her expression puzzled and tinged with grievance.
Listening to her complaints, Su Yu's expression turned a bit strange. Why didn't Wang Dong'er like ng Hongchen? Su Yu knew the answer all too well. The root of the problem? Jealousy. In their first year, Wang Dong'er and ng Hongchen had a tolerable relationship. Things only soured in the second year—especially after Su Yu jokingly declared his intention to have it all. Wang Dong'er had been triggered, and her attitude toward ng Hongchen changed. Simply put, she was jealous. Wang Dong'er saw ng as a rival for Su Yu's attention.
"Yu, do you know why? Tell !"
ng's voice broke Su Yu's train of thought.
Su Yu sighed, rubbing his forehead.
"ng, promise you won't get mad."
"Why would I get mad? Just tell ."
ng's tone was soft but insistent.
After carefully choosing his words, Su Yu explained, "Wang Dong once told he wanted to introduce to his sister."
"I thought he was joking, but he was serious."
"Now that I'm with you, he might be upset because of that."
ng's eyes widened in shock.
"What? Seriously?"
She was dumbfounded. Was Wang Dong really angry because Su Yu hadn't followed through on that promise? But how was that Su Yu's fault? He had never even t Wang Dong's sister! It was absurd to hold it against him—and even more so to take it out on her.
ng Hongchen fell silent for a mont before asking quietly, "Yu, do you think his sister is pretty?"
Su Yu blinked, caught off guard.
"What kind of question is that? I've never t her."
"But," he added after so thought, "she's his twin sister, so I guess she might look like him. If so, she'd probably be... pretty?"
