Chapter 1013: Armor from 10,000 Years Ago!
“The shining cuneiform characters surrounded by electric arcs are indeed annoying. They are like a swarm of burning headless flies that are rampaging in my head.”
ng Chao thought for a mont and said, “They seem to be different from the current Turan language. They are a hundred tis more complicated than the modern Turan language. In every short word, there are very complicated and profound anings.”
As soon as he said this, the way Ice Storm looked at him beca increasingly strange.
“You-You can actually see a large number of cuneiform characters?” she asked in disbelief.
ng Chao subconsciously felt that sothing was off. He scratched his head and said, “Shouldn’t I be seeing so many cuneiform characters?”
“It’s not that I shouldn’t have. It’s just that when ordinary low-level warriors first put on their totem battle armor, they would only see a few limited commands and not see too many cuneiform characters. After all, the ancestral spirits are also very busy. It’s impossible for them to pay attention to every battle of every descendant and give guidance to these naless nobodies hand-in-hand!”
Ice Storm explained, “Only when a nobody has fought countless battles with his totem armor and not only survived but perford outstandingly can he receive the ancestral spirit’s special attention and personal guidance.
“At this ti, the totem armor will release a large amount of data and commands to help the person fight at a higher level.
“The fact that you can receive so much battle information on your first totem armor ans that the ancestral spirits are very optimistic about your potential. Perhaps not just one ancestral spirit, but hundreds and thousands of ancestral spirits are watching your battle and preparing to lend you a helping hand!”
“Uh…”
ng Chao had goosebumps all over his body.
It was just an artificial intelligence that assisted in battle. Which “hundreds and thousands of ancestral spirits” are watching? Such feudal superstition really gave him a slightly odd feeling.
“Don’t worry, the ancestral spirits only care about whether or not you can bring out the totem armor’s most powerful battle potential. They don’t care if you’re a Turan or an outsider.”
Ice Storm misunderstood ng Chao’s expression and comforted him. “In fact, the ancestral spirits have already accepted the fact that you, an outsider, have beco a totem warrior.
“If I’m not wrong, your totem armor fragnts should have been taken from the Minotaur warrior, wild boar warrior, and barbarian elephant warrior, right?
“The most basic form and characteristics of the Blood Hoof Clan’s totem armor are rough, thick, and solid, like moving iron walls.
“But I notice that you’ve already perfectly integrated these battle armor fragnts and washed away all the Blood Hoof characteristics, using your own will to reshape them.
“Without the ancestral spirit’s approval, this is impossible.”
“Is that so?”
ng Chao did not believe that there was really any ancestral spirit.
It was just so kind of artificial intelligence. At most, it was so extrely special brainwave, information flow, and magnetic field disturbance.
Perhaps, it was because deep in his brain, he had already installed a very advanced battle assistance and strengthening upgrade system, the Kindling System or Contribution Point System.
Although the Kindling was still in a dormant state, when he was equipping the totem armor, he had partially covered and integrated the latter’s operating system.
Despite that, Ice Storm’s still revealed a key piece of information.
It was possible to reverse engineer and crack the totem armor.
As long as they found the right path, the Earthlings might be able to equip the totem armor like the advanced orcs.
“However, it’s ti to adjust your plan of action.”
Ice Storm continued, “I originally thought that you would wear a partial body armor today. It would take at least ten days to half a month to gather a full-body armor.
“I didn’t expect your battle potential to far exceed my expectations.
“Now that you already have a full-body armor, there’s no point in plundering the lowest-level totem armor fragnts.
“Even if you fuse ten tis more low-level armor fragnts into your armor, it won’t increase your battle power by a lot.”
ng Chao nodded.
He also noticed the sa thing.
In the beginning, every ti an arm armor, knee guard, or chest armor fragnt was added, whether it was in terms of appearance, feeling, or the amplification from the actual combat test, the improvent would be very obvious.
However, when he swallowed the last piece of armor fragnt, it was like adding icing on the cake. Its effect was negligible by then.
It seed that there was a limit to the fusion of totem battle armors.
It was impossible to rely on unlimited swallowing to beco infinitely stronger.
“In that case, since the totem battle armor has already fused into the full-body form, covering every inch of skin, how do we strengthen and upgrade it?” ng Chao asked humbly.
“If you want to continue to grow stronger, you have to plunder the fragnts of higher-level armor.”
Ice Storm allowed ng Chao to channel a thread of spirit energy into the surface of the totem armor at a specific frequency, where there were complicated patterns that symbolized “characteristics.”
Then, ng Chao filled his eyes with spirit energy. If he looked at the totem armor’s surface from a specific angle, he would be able to see thin lines that looked like tree rings around the faintly-glowing patterns.
“These spirit tattoos are like the rings of a big tree, representing the totem armor’s history.”
Ice Storm explained, “A totem armor contains the battle experience and wisdom of the ancestral spirits. Therefore, the older it is, the stronger it will be. The more owners wear it, the stronger it will be. The more famous and tragic the battles it has participated in, the stronger it will be.
“According to the totem armor’s history, it can be roughly divided into four levels, New Generation Armor, Hundred-year Armor, Thousand-year Armor, and Ten-thousand-year Armor.
“The pieces of the armor that have just been removed from a totem beast’s body only contain so of the wild beast’s battle mories. Other than the enhancent of the basic battle values, they cannot help the owner much.
“This is the New Generation Armor. To put it bluntly, it is a blank board. Aside from integrating into the body, not taking up additional space, and not increasing the owner’s burden, it is not much different from ordinary armor made of ordinary tal.
“However, as generations of owners wear this totem armor on the grand battlefield where millions of people fight, they will be constantly killed. After being soaked in gallons of blood, it will continue to compress, condense, and crystallize, slowly growing circles of spirit tattoos.
“In the beginning, the spirit tattoos will be indigo-colored.
“That is the Hundred-year Armor, which symbolizes that this totem armor has existed for hundreds of years.
“The totem armor at this ti has stored a large amount of battle experience and the totem battle skills of previous generations of masters. It can collect battlefield intelligence for the current master and optimize the battle strategy. Even when the master is seriously injured and unconscious, it can push the master’s wounded body to continue fighting.
“Such a Hundred-year Armor is undoubtedly a relatively powerful war machine. Many battle team powerhouses from vassal families in nurous places take pride in obtaining a Hundred-year Armor. Even if they can’t get a full set of armor but can only obtain a few pieces of armor that have several hundred years of history and participated in famous battles, they can still greatly increase their battle strength when they are embedded in ‘white armor[1].’
“And when the Hundred-year Armor is soaked in blood and flesh, after thousands of years of erosion, its spirit tattoos will gradually turn silver.
“Then it will beco the Thousand-year Armor, which is smarter, stronger, and more dangerous.
“I believe you don’t need to tell you that the Thousand-year Armor is sothing that even gang-level powerhouses would go crazy for. Many warriors of noble families with glorious bloodlines are fighting desperately for a full set of Thousand-year Armor. Even my Mithril Ripper doesn’t have thousands of years of history on every piece of armor from head to toe.
“Also, a set of Thousand-year Armor with a history of 1,000 years and 9,000 years are obviously completely different.
“Who its worn by, its participation in a well-known battle, or its epic performance on the battlefield will determine the strength of the Thousand-year Armor. The armor’s space for strengthening and upgrading is endless.
“If it can be passed down through the hands of hundreds of masters, after ten thousand years of forging, the silver brilliance will gradually turn into dark gold, and then from dark gold to bright gold.
“That will be the legendary Ten-thousand-year Armor, the ultimate weapon bestowed by the ancestral spirit to the Turan people!”
ng Chao was speechless.
“Is there really a ten-thousand-year-old totem armor?” he could not help but blurt out.
“Of course. Even many of the holy scriptures in the land of Holy Light recorded the warriors of Turan from tens of thousands of years ago. They wore totem armors and massacred Holy Light knights, mages, and night watchers. They were terrifying legends who would slaughter others as easily as they slaughtered pigs and sheep. Of course, the most ancient and powerful totem armors existed.”
When Ice Storm said this, she realized that she had misspoken and quickly ended the topic. “However, there’s no need for you to be too concerned about the Ten-thousand-year Armor, because every single one of these ancient and sacred totem battle armors has a great history. They are the divine artifacts of the various great clans. They are worshipped in the clans’ most heavily guarded temples. Only the clan chiefs of the various great clans and the strongest experts who have broken through to the battle-group level and beco the champions of the three armies are qualified to wear them.
“For ordinary gang-level powerhouses, forget wearing the Ten-thousand-year Armor, even if they accidentally touch the spirit tattoos and totems on the surface of the Ten-thousand-year Armor, their souls and flesh might be devoured by the armor. They would then turn into deford, twisted, and muddle-headed battle puppets, the Origin Warriors!”
ng Chao nodded thoughtfully.
The battle group powerhouses of the Turan civilization could fight against a whole battle gang of strong soldiers and horses on their own.
They were equivalent to the Deity Realm powerhouses of the Dragon City civilization, the peak combat strength of each other’s civilizations.
The black technology equipnt of the Deity Realm powerhouses were definitely not things that he could play with since he was in the Heaven Realm.
“There are many parts of my totem armor that don’t have totems and spirit tattoos. It’s a typical ‘white board.'”
ng Chao carefully observed the surface of his armor and thought to himself, “Even the parts of the breastplate and shoulder plate that have spirit tattoos are very sparse and shallow, as if they have just begun to appear. At most, they are only three to five hundred years old.
“No matter how many ‘white boards’ I stack, it won’t be of much use to improve my combat ability.
“Next, I should ‘hunt’ those high-level team experts who are fully equipped with the Hundred-year Armor.
“I should even look for gang-level experts and try to snatch one or two pieces of their Thousand-year Armors. I should see if I can suppress the ferocious souls inside with my battle consciousness at the peak of Heaven Realm and absorb the advanced orcs’ several thousand years of battle experience.”
