132: Chapter 132 Battle Skirt

The slightest carelessness, and the violent blood energy would instantly blast the fragile liquid metal into dust, or even trigger a catastrophic furnace explosion!

Just how did this kid manage to do it?!

Master Zong Yan would bet on it.

He feared that not a single person in the entire Great Xia Kingdom Blacksmith Association could reach such a level!

No! Even he, a dignified Saint-Level Blacksmith, absolutely could not do it!

Lin Xiaoxiao stood not far away.

The blazing firelight illuminated her pure and beautiful face.

She could not understand Su Yu's heaven-defying operations in material science.

Nor could she understand what Master Zong Yan was shouting about over there.

She only knew.

At this moment, Su Yu, gripping the mountain-shaking hammer with a focused expression, every swing filled with a sense of power, was truly handsome!

And so amazing!

In front of the forging table.

Su Yu's movements did not have the slightest pause.

The mountain-shaking hammer seemed to have lost all its weight in his hands.

Every swing of the hammer carried an indescribable aesthetic beauty of the Great Dao.

There was no frenzy of flying sparks.

There was no deafening noise.

There was only the smoothness of natural success, and a rhythm that struck straight at the soul.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The continuous sound of hammering was like an ancient and mysterious war song.

Suddenly.

Master Zong Yan's eyes widened again.

He stared at the metal lump that was gradually taking shape, his body trembling violently and uncontrollably.

"Ar... Array runes?!"

Master Zong Yan's withered fingers pointed at the forging table, his voice drifting and wavering.

In the forging world, there is an unbreakable iron rule.

Forging and array runes must be separated!

Because both of these tasks are exceptionally complex and extremely draining on one's mental energy.

One must first forge the physical form of the battle armor to perfection, and after it cools and sets.

The blacksmith must then find an absolutely quiet secret room to carefully engrave the array runes inside the armor using spiritual power.

If one were to do them together...

Trying to engrave fine array runes that require micrometer precision amidst the violent vibrations of hammering?

It is extremely easy to make mistakes!

Once a mistake occurs, the array runes will conflict; at best, the material is ruined, and at worst, the furnace will explode directly!

But!

If one can succeed, not only will it save a vast amount of time.

The compatibility between the array runes and the battle armor will also reach an unprecedented state of perfection!

And now.

Su Yu was doing this impossible thing!

He was not using a spiritual engraving knife at all!

With every swing of his hammer.

Between the vibrations of his blood energy, different vibration frequencies formed a resonance, and intricate energy circuits were already being directly inscribed inside the metal!

The lightness of the wind-element array runes.

The heaviness of the power array runes.

Two completely different types of array runes were perfectly intertwined under Su Yu's hammer, without even the slightest conflict!

Not a single mistake!

It was smooth, flowing, and silky to the extreme!

Master Zong Yan felt like his heart disease was about to flare up.

What kind of monster was this kid?!

Facing such high-difficulty synchronous forging, he didn't even have a single pause?

Did he really not need to think?!

Watching Su Yu's hammer-swinging movements, which were like flowing clouds and water and even carried a trace of vicissitudinous Dao charm.

A ridiculous thought suddenly popped into Master Zong Yan's mind, making his scalp tingle.

How could this be just a green kid?!

This kind of muscle memory that went deep into the bones, this kind of control over materials and array runes that was as natural as breathing, could not be explained by the mere word "talent"!

This was the foundation of a grandmaster, precipitated only after countless years of boring polishing and hammering away countless mountains of iron!

"Could this kid... have been possessed by some ancient God of Forging who has lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years?!"

"He's not just hammering iron; it's like an old monster who has been hammering for tens of thousands of years, freely performing under the instinctual drive of muscle memory!"

Is this even something a human can do?!

Lin Xiaoxiao still stood obediently in place.

Her hands clasped in front of her chest, her beautiful eyes staring at Su Yu without blinking.

She still couldn't understand.

But she could clearly feel that the aura emanating from the battle armor taking shape was becoming increasingly astonishing.

Ten minutes.

Half an hour.

Two hours.

In the entire Extreme Flame Forging Room, there was only the rhythmic sound of Su Yu's hammering.

"Hum—!"

As Su Yu's last hammer blow landed.

The power of the fire vein within the Extreme Flame Forging Room suddenly contracted inward.

A streak of ice-blue light shot up from the forging table, illuminating the entire room as if it were a dream!

The battle armor was complete!

No, to be precise, it was a battle skirt.

Because it was forged for Lin Xiaoxiao, Su Yu had specifically shaped it into a light and agile battle skirt style that conformed to a female's curves.

The entire piece presented a deep ice-blue color, with the luster of extremely delicate array runes flowing on the surface.

The skirt was light, while the chest guard area exuded an indestructible, heavy texture.

It perfectly balanced speed and defense.

Su Yu put down the mountain-shaking hammer.

He let out a long breath of stale air.

He looked at the battle skirt on the forging table, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

With the materials he had originally prepared, he had only intended to forge a peak War-General Level battle armor.

However.

The feel was just too good.

The mountain-shaking hammer that Master Zong Yan lent him conducted blood energy with exceptional smoothness.

Coupled with the earth-core fire vein and auxiliary array runes of the Extreme Flame Forging Room, the environment was extremely suitable.

Without realizing it, he hadn't held back his strength.

He had performed exceptionally well.

Master Zong Yan rushed up in a single stride.

His speed was so fast that it didn't seem like he was an old man over a hundred years old.

His hands trembled as he caressed the ice-blue battle skirt that still retained residual heat.

However, the moment his fingers touched the surface of the skirt armor.

Hum!

The battle skirt seemed to possess life, spontaneously activating and faintly condensing a layer of visible, ice-blue transparent qi on its surface!

Master Zong Yan felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

"This..."

"Array runes etched into the bone! Self-circulating blood energy! Qi-guarding body?!"

Master Zong Yan turned his head abruptly, looking at Su Yu as if he were seeing a ghost.

His voice was completely cracked from extreme shock, echoing in the empty forging room.

"Army-Breaking Level?!"

"This is an entry-level Army-Breaking Level battle armor?!"

Master Zong Yan's brain completely crashed.

As a Saint-Level Blacksmith, he knew all too well the gap between these two ranks!

The reason the Army-Breaking Level is called the watershed for high-level battle armor is that its composite array runes have completely merged into the material's texture, not only able to withstand extremely high-intensity combat but also able to resonate with the martial artist's blood energy, stimulating a materialized protective qi!

But the problem is...

This kid used basic War-General Level materials!

How could common, fragile materials like Black Iron Essence and Red Copper Essence possibly withstand the violent energy circulation of the Army-Breaking Level?!

They should have been blasted into dust by the backlash of the array runes long ago!

Is this right?!

Does this conform to the law of conservation of matter in material science?!

Master Zong Yan gripped the battle skirt, his whole body trembling violently.

A crazy thought grew in his mind like wild grass, instantly taking over all his rationality!

Using War-General Level materials to forge an Army-Breaking Level battle armor.

He had forcibly crossed a major rank!

Does that mean...

If he provided this kid with top-tier Nation-Guardian Rank materials.

He could cross that barrier like a natural chasm and forge the legendary... Mythical Rank battle armor that could amplify a Martial Emperor's combat power by ten or even twenty times?!!!

Master Zong Yan's eyes turned red instantly.

He turned around abruptly and grabbed Su Yu's shoulder.

The force was so great that his knuckles turned white.

The look in his eyes when he stared at Su Yu was as if he were looking at a savior of the human race!

"Kid!"

Master Zong Yan's voice was hoarse, revealing a sense of fanaticism.

"You..."

Su Yu shrugged.

"The feel was good."

"Just a normal performance."

He turned his head and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was still dazed not far away.

He casually threw the ice-blue battle skirt, which radiated the pressure of the Army-Breaking Level, over to her.

"Try it on."

"See if it fits."
