211: Chapter 210 Twin Dragons!!
The members of the Chi Family could not believe this statement at all.
For no other reason, the Chi Family's spiritual armor-condensing technique was one of a kind throughout the entire Yanhuang Ancient Country, the entire world, and even all known powers and secret techniques.
Especially manifesting armor through bloodline; this was even more the source of pride for the Chi Family members, who regarded this bloodline secret technique of their own as a manifestation of the protection of their ancestor, the God of War.
Therefore, when they saw Sun Po summon armor that was so similar to their spiritual armor-condensing, their first reaction was to wonder how this guy's armor fared.
In almost an instant, they concluded that Sun Po must be one of the collateral descendants who failed the internal trial or some elder's shameful illegitimate child.
The moment they saw this armor, they already concluded that Sun Po must be one of their own people. Truly, this signature stunt was too iconic for anyone to fake.
Yet now, the elders in the family directly asserted that Sun Po's armor technique was also a bloodline manifestation, but it was not the Chi Family's spiritual armor-condensing technique. How could the Chi Family, who had always firmly believed that their own bloodline secret technique was unique, possibly believe this?
"Elder Xi, how could there possibly be any secret technique in this world besides our God of War descendants that possesses bloodline-manifested armor? Even the Xuanyuan Family has never seen or heard of it while walking the heavens. Back then, even when our patriarch fought with that Master Nanhua for a whole month—and that Master Nanhua was famous for his numerous tricks—he was never seen displaying such a secret technique!"
"Indeed, Elder Xi. If you said this was our clan's bloodline descendant scattered outside, that would be one thing, but to say it has nothing to do with the Chi Family yet can pull off such a similar bloodline-manifested spiritual armor-condensing technique is simply too baffling."
"Once the match is over, I will go find this kid and drag him back to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, and we'll know everything!"
Everyone argued back and forth incessantly. The old woman named Elder Xi gave a light cough and said, "Although this person is not a descendant of our God of War, he is a friend rather than an enemy. You must not use force against him."
"As for his secret technique—heh heh heh, how much experience do you brats have? How could you possibly understand the depth within it?"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed in shock, "That's not right! How can he have two sets of armor?"
Immediately, someone retorted, "Are you half a beat slow in your reaction? Red armor and black armor, this Sun Po has had two sets of armor ever since he entered this magma secret realm."
"I'm not talking about those two sets of armor! Look, it appeared again!! Two identical sets of red armor!!"
The members of the Chi Family widened their eyes in astonishment, staring fixedly at Sun Po's combat footage. Although other spectators outside the arena were not as knowledgeable as the Chi Family folks, they could still tell who had the upper hand.
They had all seen with their own eyes how the previous flame dragon armor chased the fire giant Surtur around like a rabbit.
Although they joked around verbally, no one actually thought that Sun Po and Li Tiance would be unable to block this descending palm strike from the fire giant Surtur.
"No matter how you look at it, Young Master Li's Xuanwu Gate is shocking. Directly copying his own cards eight hundred times is just too cheap."
"Which of the few remaining unbeaten contestants isn't cheap? After Qin Wudao summoned that ancient Great Wall structure, those orange monsters slammed their heads to pieces yet still couldn't rush in, directly activating invincibility. Isn't this even cheaper than Li Tiance copying eight hundred of his own cards? And that Black Pharaoh, standing on top of that giant stone statue—"
"The golden disk behind his head rises up, creating such a massive sandstorm around him that orange-tier monsters turn into mummies after being blown by it for a while. Isn't that cheap?"
"Actually, the other contestants are also quite outrageous. That Red-Bearded Eric from the Northern Ice Bear Kingdom has been hacking and slashing from the moment he entered until now. It completely feels like a killing machine!!"
"What's so special about that? The boss of the Donkey Cart Brothers, the one wielding a coiled-dragon staff, is also very outrageous. Orange monsters are about to be beaten to death alive. I really wonder whose donkey cart is so powerful, coming and going freely in piles of monsters without any obstruction whatsoever."
"My Goddess Jiang Cha is seriously here for an outing, right? She's already tired of strolling in the secret realm and said she's sitting down to start appreciating the scenery."
"However, Sun Po and his team are truly outrageous. None of them are weak. Even that guy named Liu Jianren, after transforming into a red dragon, doesn't seem to feel any pressure dealing with these monsters."
"Saying all that is redundant. The most outrageous one still has to be my Master Sun!! Still worried Master Sun will be slapped to death? My Master Sun has directly put on the red armor; with what can that fire giant slap him to death?"
"Wait, this armor of Master Sun's, isn't it worn on his body? Why is that red armor in the distance still there? Damn, two identical sets of armor? Can Master Sun's armor be mass-produced?!"
"Master Sun! Damn, can this link to this armor? It turns out to be a real set of armor that can even be worn directly by a Card Maker at a critical moment? If I had a set of armor like this, wouldn't I also be able to conquer foreign lands?"
"You forgot who made this armor. Other than seeing Master Sun use it, who else has used it? It's exclusive! Link it to you? If it could really be sold, the great clans and official authorities would definitely fight tooth and nail for it!!"
In fact, the authorities and major clans were truly drooling with envy at this moment, wishing they could fight tooth and nail for it. However, they knew more and understood that such a secret technique could by no means be mass-produced.
Even if it couldn't be mass-produced, this armor protection secret technique was still terribly tempting.
At this moment, in the Xuanyuan Family's Xuanpu Secret Realm.
Coachman Ranger Xuanyuan was leisurely lounging on the south-pointing chariot drinking small sips of wine. On the cart, besides Xuanyuan Qingqing, there was an additional elderly man who looked white-haired and aged.
This old man was dressed in an earth-yellow robe, with white hair, white beard, and white eyebrows. He looked benevolent and carried quite a bit of an immortal, transcendent aura.
The three of them were watching a light screen in the air together. Inside the light screen were the combat footage of various contestants.
Coachman Ranger Xuanyuan let out an exclamation and said, "Jiang Yan has really made a massive investment. If she hadn't always been at odds with her family, I would have really thought the Jiang Family went to such great lengths for this person."
The white-haired old man in the yellow robe appeared somewhat restrained and asked Coachman Ranger Xuanyuan, "Old Ancestor Ranger, do you know what the origin of this Sun Po's methods is?"
Coachman Ranger Xuanyuan took a large gulp of wine instead and smiled, "I know. Do you dare to listen?"
The yellow-robed old man flatteringly smiled, "If Old Ancestor dares to say it, then I dare to hear it. If Old Ancestor doesn't say it, then I won't listen."
Coachman Ranger Xuanyuan frowned in disgust, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, go busy yourself with your own affairs. I am merely a chariot spirit who has lived a bit longer. Back then, I yearned for the unfettered life of a ranger who exacts swift justice and vengeance, which is why I took this name. Just call me Ranger; you insist on adding 'Old Ancestor', which is quite annoying."
"Put away that sickening flattering face of yours. When the family head returns and sees you acting in this wretched manner after only two days of playing the role, he will probably make you go keep company with Yingzhao."
The yellow-robed old man still did not change his form of address: "Old Ancestor Ranger's reprimand is right. This junior will take his leave."
Just as he was about to leave, Coachman Ranger Xuanyuan called out to him from behind, saying, "After this Sun Po finishes the Gaokao, help him establish a great clan to enter the Five Surnames and Seven Clans."
Joy instantly appeared on the expression of the yellow-robed old man, and he respectfully said, "Thank you, Ranger!!"
Xuanyuan Qingqing by the side constricted her pupils slightly and looked somewhat perplexed at Coachman Ranger Xuanyuan. Coachman Ranger Xuanyuan patted Xuanyuan Qingqing's head and said, "What's meant to come will come eventually. With the person standing behind him, no one dares to touch him, but that doesn't mean no one wants to win him over or corrupt him. Aren't Li Tiance, myself, Jiang Yan, and even the people from the official authorities entertaining this very intention? Everyone wants to tie him onto their own chariot. Jiang Yan's investment is so massive, how can we fall behind?"
Xuanyuan Qingqing lifted her little face from the side and said, "But Second Uncle, his future won't be very good this way."
Ranger Xuanyuan calmly replied, "Future, future—since it is a matter of the future, it is not a fixed number. It's better to keep a good eye on the present situation that has already arrived."
In the Central Laboratory, Professor Zhou Gongdan grabbed the hand of General Li who had come earlier, gripping it tightly and refusing to let go.
General Li's eyes were filled with helplessness as he said, "Old Zhou, if you keep this up, next time I can only let Chang'geng come chat with you."
Professor Zhou Gongdan pointed at Sun Po's combat footage and said, "General Li, can he really not be abducted? Even if that person doesn't agree and I end up risking my old life, so be it! The boost from this armor is simply too immense. It can fight independently, comprehensively enhance a soldier's physical skills, be worn at will, and it has now been shown that two sets can appear simultaneously, which means there's hope for mass production! I must get my hands on this; I can trade anything for it!!"
"Once we research this method, even if every soldier is an ordinary person without a secret technique, their combat power can still be boosted hundreds or thousands of times! By then, let alone the other four major kingdoms, even charging into the Endless Warzone wouldn't be impossible!!"
General Li stated, "You don't fight on the front lines, so you probably don't understand. Although this isn't the Chi Family's bloodline secret technique, it is still manifested from bloodline. Anything involving bloodline belongs to that entity's authority. Even if that entity is currently too preoccupied to attend to this, if you meddle in matters concerning its core authority, do you guess that entity would know? And once that entity finds out, if it quietly withdraws from the Endless Warzone, how much longer do you think the Endless Warzone can hold out? By then, the destruction of the world will be right before our eyes. Is that something you, Professor Zhou Gongdan, can shoulder?"
With every sentence General Li spoke, Professor Zhou Gongdan's grip loosened a fraction. By the final sentence, Professor Zhou Gongdan could only let go dejectedly, staring longingly at the two sets of flame dragon armor on the screen and sighing deeply.
In the magma river, the dark golden Xuanwu Gate stood tall and upright. Statues of dark golden giants exuded divine light, reflecting the gigantic gateway and palace complex.
However, above the palace complex and the Xuanwu Gate was an immense sea of fire that blotted out the sky, making the Xuanwu Gate appear rather pocket-sized.
From within the Xuanwu Gate, a figure clad in red armor suddenly soared into the sky. It was Sun Po, who had merged with the flame dragon armor.
Li Tiance knew in his heart that this should be of the same series as Sun Po's Black Rhino Armor. He couldn't help feeling some emotion: Sun Po's armor-summoning technique not only looked quite convenient, but was also immensely powerful, offering supreme protection to the Card Maker. Furthermore, that red armor could actually detach from its host to fight freely; it was truly a top-tier secret technique.
He cast his gaze toward the abyss on the other side. That was where the previous red armor had driven the fire giant to a dead end with no way up to heaven and no door down to earth. However, his eyes suddenly constricted, and he turned his head back toward Sun Po in disbelief, his mouth hanging open in shock so profound that he lost all facial expression control.
He saw that on the other side, the flame dragon armor that should have vanished was actually rushing toward Sun Po and the others from the abyss.
Yes, what was rushing over was the red flame dragon armor, and what Sun Po was wearing on his body was also the flame dragon armor!!
Two identical sets of armor? Appearing in the world at the same time? The armor that Sun Po's secret technique could condense wasn't even limited to just one set?!
This truly shocked Li Tiance immensely. Even the most outstanding prodigy in the Chi Family among the Three Upper Surnames had never been seen displaying such a secret technique.
Even purely in terms of combat power, this was an extremely heaven-defying secret technique.
You must know that the grade of the flame dragon armor was Orange 9-Star, and its potential was immense. Its characteristic even possessed the immensely high-origin Chaos Flame, allowing it to even crush gold-tier divine monsters like Surtur across tiers.
Such combat power, such a card with infinite potential—the vast majority of Card Makers might not even own a single one in their entire lives.
Yet Sun Po, merely at the stage of a primary Card Maker practicing his secret technique, was able to achieve this.
What was even rarer was that neither the flame dragon armor nor the Black Rhino Armor occupied card slots, nor did they place pressure on the spiritual space. Moreover, the Five Elements Armors could closely protect the Card Maker. From these aspects, their preciousness was far higher than cards of equivalent combat power.
Li Tiance originally thought that the armor being able to detach from the host to move and fight freely, and returning to the host for protection at critical moments, was already monstrously overpowered.
Now, you're telling me that Sun Po can summon two sets of this armor? Simultaneously? One for body fusion protection, and one for coordinated combat?
Even if Li Tiance had read the script of destiny right now, he would no longer believe that Sun Po had any entanglements with the Chi Family.
The Chi Family's spiritual armor-condensing technique was certainly powerful, but it still fell within a normal scope.
One set of armor per clan member; perhaps the characteristics and abilities of the armors varied, but it was absolutely impossible to summon two identical sets of armor at the same time, let alone have one of the armors engage in coordinated combat, and let alone having both sets of armor be monstrous armor capable of suppressing gold-tier monsters with orange-tier quality.
If the Chi Family's spiritual armor-condensing technique were this strong, what Five Surnames and Seven Clans would there still be? What Three Upper Surnames would there still be? The Yanhuang Ancient Country would have taken the surname Chi long ago!!
However, this wasn't what shocked Li Tiance the most. What was even more startling was that Sun Po's figure had changed. After Sun Po merged with the flame dragon armor, he felt unprecedentedly good.
The giant flame palm towering above his head was nothing more than a paper tiger in his eyes, and the flames of destruction emerging on its surface were even a great tonic.
Feeling the powerful strength surging within his body that was completely different from the Black Rhino Armor, Sun Po clenched his fists and looked at his own "dumb son" still sprinting frantically from afar. He chanted silently in his heart: "Come on, a true father-son showdown. Let your old man teach you the correct usage of the flame dragon armor—Explosive Flame Dragon King Form!! Open!!"
