Moon Pavilion, fifth floor.
At this moment, a harp sat before Tang Yuehua. A faint pink Wish-Fulfilling Domain bloomed around her. While baptizing her eldest nephew Tang San, she was also guiding him in music theory.
"Uncle!"
Seeing Chu Chengzhou arrive, Tang San hurriedly got up to greet him.
"Mm. Xiao San, how is your music theory coming along?"
Chu Chengzhou nodded and asked.
A little over a month ago, after acknowledging his ancestry and returning to the Clear Sky Sect for two months, Tang San came back to the Moon Pavilion.
It was not that Tang San was rushing to cling to his uncle. Before going to the Clear Sky Sect to acknowledge his roots, he had not completely finished the baptism and could not perfectly control the killing intent in his heart, so he still needed to continue studying with Tang Yuehua.
"Aunt says I'm learning fast, but I still can't match you, Uncle."
Tang San slipped in a subtle bit of flattery for his uncle.
"Not bad."
Hearing this, Chu Chengzhou patted his eldest nephew on the shoulder in satisfaction.
It was unclear whether that "not bad" referred to Tang San learning fast, or to the flattery.
"Yuehua, I finished forging your battle armor."
As he spoke, Chu Chengzhou took out the soul-forged blue-gold battle armor and handed it to Tang Yuehua.
"So fast?"
Chu Chengzhou had mentioned battle armor to her earlier, so Tang Yuehua knew what it was. Joy crossed her face. She quickly accepted the armor and, following the bloodline link formed by the blood-recognition ritual, stored it within her body.
"Hold on a moment."
Wearing a palace dress, Tang Yuehua returned to the bedroom.
Soon, Tang Yuehua came out changed into a short skirt.
Why change into a short skirt? Because a long dress is inconvenient for donning battle armor.
It is true that battle armor at Spirit-Forging and above can be stored in the body and donned instantly. But if a female soul master is wearing a long skirt, unless she can accept her skirt tearing or lifts it in advance, it is inconvenient to instantly don the armor stored in her body.
A blue-gold light flashed around Tang Yuehua. The armor manifested. The gentle, graceful elder sister instantly became a goddess of war with a blue-gold forehead circlet, clad in blue-gold armor, with two pairs of blue-gold wings unfurled behind her.
"Valiant!"
Chu Chengzhou could not help but praise.
Elder sister already had an eight-ring foundation. With the boost from soul-forged battle armor, her overall speed was definitely no worse than an ordinary level-95 Titled Douluo. With twelve 100,000-year soul bone abilities, her combat strength could at least rival Spirit Hall's level-96 types like Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, making her one of the top experts on the continent.
"Of course."
The praise made Tang Yuehua feel quite pleased. A touch of pride showed on her face.
"Uncle, I see this armor has wings on the back. Can it grant flight?"
Tang San asked from the side.
"Of course. Otherwise, if it couldn't fly, why would I add two pairs of wings when forging it?"
Chu Chengzhou nodded as if it were self-evident.
Hearing this, a hint of gloom flashed across Tang San's face.
If so, then one of his 100,000-year soul bone abilities would be wasted.
The two abilities attached to the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone were "Wildfire Can't Burn It Out, Spring Breeze Brings It Back," a healing-type soul bone skill that could even regenerate severed limbs, and another soul bone skill that granted flight, though it only granted flight and did not improve speed.
Uh, surely Uncle won't refuse to give me a set of battle armor in the future, right? In that case, before I advance to a nine-ring Titled Douluo, the flight soul bone skill would not be wasted.
"Let's go. I want to try what flying feels like."
Soul masters with avian martial souls who could fly were the envy of many. Now that she had flight, Tang Yuehua could not wait to try it.
"No rush. There's another good thing."
As he spoke, Chu Chengzhou took a Vulcan Cannon out of his storage soul tool.
"What is this?"
Studying the Vulcan Cannon in Chu Chengzhou's hands and unable to tell what it was, Tang Yuehua asked in puzzlement.
"I named it the Vulcan Cannon. The materials are the same as your armor. It's all soul-forged blue-gold."
Blinking, Tang Yuehua asked, "Was this soul tool invented by Vulcan ?"
"This has nothing to do with any fire god. It's named so because its power is like a fire god's wrath."
Chu Chengzhou explained and handed the Vulcan Cannon to Tang Yuehua.
After hefting it, Tang Yuehua found it weighed over a hundred jin. Only because her soul power was at the eight-ring Soul Douluo level and she had a full set of 100,000-year soul bones could she lift it with ease. In the past, she would not have been able to pick it up so easily.
"How do you use this Vulcan Cannon?"
Tapping the six barrels at the front, each three feet long with a caliber of 10 millimeters, Tang Yuehua asked.
A 10-millimeter rotary machine gun is not suited to be a personal weapon, but a soul master's physique is far beyond that of ordinary people, and Tang Yuehua was no ordinary soul master.
In addition, because the soul tool version of the Vulcan Cannon fires by different principles than conventional hot weapons, there is no powerful recoil when it fires. As long as you can lift it, even one-handed firing is no problem.
"Uncle, this Vulcan Cannon should fire attacks similar to bolts, right?"
Tang San noticed it looked a bit like the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, with both a grip and firing ports.
"Not bad, but it doesn't fire bolts. It fires soul power rounds. Like this."
As he spoke, Chu Chengzhou raised his right hand. Soul power surged out and condensed into a soul power round.
"And its power and rate of fire?"
Tang San pressed on.
"I tested it earlier. At the limit, it can fire fifty soul power rounds per second. If Yuehua powers this Vulcan Cannon, with concentrated fire, blowing apart a level-95 Titled Douluo's Spirit Avatar is no problem."
Chu Chengzhou waved his hand and said casually.
Tang San's eyes widened at once.
Fifty attacks per second? And concentrated fire can blow apart a Titled Douluo?
This was a super, super enhanced Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
At fifty shots per second, if it doesn't malfunction and ignoring soul power consumption, using this Vulcan Cannon to break the Heaven Dou Empire's million elite troops might not be impossible.
For a moment, Tang San felt his hidden weapons were no longer appealing.
After dinner, Chu Chengzhou took Tang Yuehua outside the city to practice flying.
Don't be fooled by how simple flying seems. For someone who could not originally fly, it is a technical skill.
Fortunately, that was not a big problem. Tang Yuehua had an instructor with very solid flying technique to guide her.
Only, a certain instructor who preferred to remain unnamed was clearly not very proper. In the course of instruction, seeing no one around, he started getting handsy.
Under the stars and above the sea of clouds, overlapping figures woven of golden and blue light streaked across the sky. A beautiful symphony rose in the night.
Truly, Need for Speed!
