Chapter 47: Huo Yuhao's Era
After Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei donned his Battle Armor, Ma Yingjun immediately felt the pressure double.
Amplified by the Battle Armor, Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei moved behind Ma Yingjun in just a few seconds, his speed so fast that even the referee on the field could barely keep up.
Before Ma Yingjun could react, Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei, utilizing the Battle Armor on his right arm, condensed lightning power.
After attaching all the lightning power to his right gauntlet, he formed his right hand into a claw shape and struck towards Ma Yingjun's back.
This strike landed squarely on Ma Yingjun, directly sending him flying off the stage. Fortunately, Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei held back his strength at the last moment, or Ma Yingjun would have broken at least a few ribs.
"The first match of the one-on-one competition, Shrek Academy wins."
The referee for this match, whose cultivation was merely that of a Spirit Saint, arrived belatedly after Ma Yingjun was sent flying, descending to catch him.
He glanced at Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei with some trepidation before announcing the result of the match.
After all, his own cultivation was only that of a Spirit Saint, and with Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei's strength just now, he might not truly be his opponent without activating his Spirit Avatar.
The spectators in the stands at this moment had no time to consider the safety of the match; all of them looked towards Huo Yuhao, who was seated below, with a look of awe.
Such a spirit tool was already a cross-era Domain. If what Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei said was true, then the possession of Battle Armor would redefine the strength hierarchy of Spirit Masters.
Spirit Masters possessing Battle Armor would hold a status far surpassing ordinary Spirit Masters.
Inside the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's lounge, Xiao Hongchen, who was drinking medicine, had an unsteady hand, and the medicine bowl directly fell to the ground. He turned his head and looked at his sister sitting next to him with a face full of shock.
"Meng, how is this possible? That is a cross-era humanoid spirit tool! How could Shrek Academy possess such technology?"
"And most importantly, no matter the grade of the spirit tool, the amplification shouldn't be so great. Even if the technology could achieve it, the materials shouldn't be able to support it."
Before Meng Hongchen could answer, Elder Ma, who was sitting nearby, recalled the new type of rare metals that Mingde Hall had acquired earlier, and rubbed his brows with a hint of realization.
"Do you remember the batch of new rare metals we acquired earlier? Those were bought from Shrek Academy."
"Mingde Hall has been researching them until now without any clear results. It's likely Shrek Academy indeed possesses technology we don't know about. I must report this matter to the Hall Master as soon as possible."
"Recently, Shrek Academy has expressed an interest in exchanging a group of students with us for academic exchange, but they've been hesitant lately. Now, we must push for the completion of this matter."
"If there's an opportunity, we must try our best to obtain a set of Battle Armor. Whether it's to verify its effectiveness or to analyze its manufacturing method, it's extremely important to us."
"Xiao Hongchen, I hope you can immediately use your family's channels to contact the Hall Master. This matter concerns the entire continent's situation."
Xiao Hongchen naturally understood the urgency and immediately agreed, asking Meng Hongchen to use the Hongchen family's contact methods to transmit the information.
On the high platform, Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei, who had been watching the match since early morning, stood up and said:
"I can confirm that the news about Battle Armor is indeed true. Pavilion Master Huo once conducted a transaction with me using five sets of Two-Word Battle Armor."
"If a Spirit Douluo wears Two-Word Battle Armor, their combat power can be elevated to the Titled Douluo level. In a few days, at the Star Luo auction, I will put two sets of Two-Word Battle Armor up for auction."
As soon as Xu Jiawei finished speaking, the team leaders of the Dio and Douling teams immediately left the arena and contacted their respective royal families through their own channels.
The impact of a Spirit Douluo's strength being elevated to that of a Titled Douluo was simply too great; this would directly affect the balance between the various nations.
The current Spirit Master Tournament was no longer important; verifying and acquiring a set of Battle Armor was the top priority.
The leaders of the Heavenly Soul and Douling nations now also understood why Xu Jiawei paid so much attention to the next Sea Gods Pavilion Master.
Under the blessing of such talent and brilliance, this era already belonged to this young man. If they were to antagonize him, they might no longer have a place to stand in this era.
Xu Jiawei sat back on his throne and nodded slightly towards Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao returned a smile. This scene was precisely the result of his discussion with Xu Jiawei last night.
The subsequent two members of Cloud Luo Academy were still no match for Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei, and were quickly knocked off the stage.
Afterward, Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei also chose to concede before the fourth round began, allowing Cici to demonstrate the pure amplification of One-Word Battle Armor.
The fifty-sixth-level Cici, equipped with a full set of One-Word Battle Armor, truly displayed the strength of a Spirit Saint.
The next female student from Cloud Luo Academy, Shang Yue, was instantly defeated by Cici as soon as she stepped onto the stage.
At this moment, the captain of Cloud Luo Academy, Situ Yu, jumped onto the arena.
"I know I'm definitely not your opponent, but I want to know how big the gap is between my spirit tool combat style and your set of Battle Armor."
"I have an impolite request, would you mind suppressing your spirit power to around rank 40? We'll concede after this match."
"Of course, it's fine if you don't agree. I just want to see how my future path in spirit tools should proceed. Please."
After speaking, Situ Yu bowed to Cici, waiting for a response.
He had wanted to be the second to fight Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei, but in the pre-match preparation list, he was arranged as the last one.
He originally planned for him to be the last to see if he could take out one person from Shrek Academy, but he didn't expect to encounter the Battle Armor demonstration.
Cici turned her head and glanced at Huo Yuhao below the stage. After receiving a nod, she suppressed her original spirit power fluctuations to rank 40.
After the amplification of the Battle Armor, Cici's spirit power fluctuations finally stabilized at around rank 60.
Cici stood in place, waiting for Situ Yu to deploy various spirit tools, forming a fortress-style spirit tool combat method.
Accompanied by a wave of spirit tool cannon fire, Cici withstood this attack by relying on the full-body One-Word Battle Armor.
Then, she used the Spirit Ability Teleportation to move to Situ Yu's side, and with the arm blade on her Battle Armor, she cut open Situ Yu's artillery platform.
Situ Yu on the stage instantly understood how much Battle Armor surpassed other spirit tools.
It not only could amplify the user's spirit power fluctuations but also possessed defensive and offensive capabilities equivalent to spirit tools of the same rank.
Aside from special spirit tools like the Invincible Barrier, Battle Armor could truly be called a superior alternative to all-attribute spirit tools.
"Thank you for being willing to help me recognize the gap between spirit tools, and also thank Pavilion Master Huo for his tacit approval."
"Referee, our Cloud Luo Academy concedes."
After Situ Yu left the stage, the referee announced Shrek Academy's victory, and Huo Yuhao also activated his Domain to lead everyone away.
Upon learning of the Battle Armor's amplification, students from other academies showed a tendency to gather around, and Huo Yuhao seized the opportunity to lead everyone away as soon as possible
