He also abandoned this method, preparing to experience it in the form of a real confrontation, to see if he could gain anything.
According to the Ice Emperor, this realm is very rare, and if he can gain some insight, it will greatly benefit his future cultivation.
Ji Juechen, with an ordinary Sword Martial Soul, could cultivate to his current realm, and this kind of insight might very well be effective. Otherwise, even following Su Yu's approach, continuously strengthening his Martial Soul's talent, he wouldn't be able to reach Level 60 Soul Emperor at the age of twenty-seven.
At this speed, he hopes to break through to Titled Douluo before the age of fifty!
The two sides continued to collide.
Huo Yuhao did not use the ability of his Spiritual Eyes, but relied on the amplification of the Extreme Ice Battle Armor, using the power of his Second Martial Soul to clash with Ji Juechen as a Strong Attack System Battle Soul Master.
Of course, during this process, his Spiritual Power permeated the whole field, with Spiritual Detection fully engaged, providing him with vision.
...
The battle between the two made some teachers and students of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy suspect that the two were not Soul Guides.
That's not right, Ji Juechen was not a Soul Guide in the first place, not even having used a Soul-guiding Device.
To be honest, this pure combat looked quite passionate, giving a unique flavor to those accustomed to long-range attacks.
The match lasted for half an hour before Ji Juechen, unable to sustain his Soul Power, was defeated.
Huo Yuhao also respected him greatly, bowing before leaving the platform.
Huo Yuhao could have easily won this battle, but to better experience Ji Juechen's realm, he suppressed his own strength to the same level, which is why the fight lasted so long.
Honestly, being able to last for half an hour under full force shows Ji Juechen's deep understanding of swordsmanship.
"Wait, I want to ask, what exactly is the situation with your Battle Armor, and I want to try it too."
Mirror Hongchen was also curious when hearing that Ji Juechen was interested in something other than the sword.
This kid, can he show interest in anything else?
"If I'm not mistaken, your Bone Wings should be the integration of an external object with Battle Armor, and it's closely linked to your Martial Soul."
Ji Juechen's sharp eye, during the half-hour confrontation, his realm was understood by the opponent while he was also confirming Huo Yuhao's various aspects of the Battle Armor.
"You want to learn? Battle Armor is the perfect combination of Soul-guiding Device and Soul Master, needing a Soul Guide to produce, but you don't seem to be a Soul Guide..." Huo Yuhao looked surprised. It seemed reasonable for someone who had experienced the power of Battle Armor to make such a request, but Ji Juechen was obviously not even a Soul Guide.
Ji Juechen, however, did not give up because of this, seemingly thinking this wasn't a problem.
"I'm not a Soul Guide, but I can find a Soul Guide to customize it for me."
In Mingde Hall, there was never a lack of Soul Guides, and Ji Juechen had never considered the possibility of not getting a Soul-guiding Device.
If he couldn't make it himself, he'd just find someone to customize it.
Rather, what he wanted to confirm now was whether his Celestial Meteorite Iron Sword could be integrated into his Martial Soul.
Huo Yuhao was also surprised by Ji Juechen's further inquiry, looking at the iron sword in Ji Juechen's hand.
Could this actually not be his Martial Soul?
Indeed, recalling more carefully, Huo Yuhao realized that when Ji Juechen was using sword skills on several occasions, a massive sword shadow was attached to the iron sword that looked like a fire poker, which should be Ji Juechen's Martial Soul.
At that time, Huo Yuhao had thought it was the form of a Soul Skill.
"It should be possible, but the longsword will need to have a Core Array inscribed, which can be troublesome, but you'll understand the specifics later."
Huo Yuhao did not explain in detail.
The technology of Battle Armor is still a core secret; some simple ability settings can be revealed, but the specific principles are inconvenient to discuss in public here.
Ji Juechen nodded and left the platform in silence.
"Hall Master, Ji Juechen is quite impressive." Su Yu communicated with Mirror Hongchen using Spiritual Power.
Mirror Hongchen was very pleased with Ji Juechen's performance.
Worthy is he that he personally broke the precedent to admit into the Academy.
Actually, Ji Juechen is also considered a member of Mingde Hall, which was also a precedent set by Mirror Hongchen.
Of course, it might be different in the future.
"Hmm, Ji Juechen has a pure heart, his affection for the sword runs deep, focused only on cultivation and insight with the sword. Frankly, his insight into the sword is quite similar to what you often talk about, you guys might get along well.
Also, having forgotten about him in the past, now I realize Ji Juechen is very suitable to become an Armor Master; his abilities paired with Battle Armor will be like adding wings to a tiger.
It's unfortunate he's not a Soul Guide himself and cannot create his own Battle Armor, relying only on others for its creation, but if there is a sufficiently excellent Soul Guide with a deep understanding of Battle Armor to help, this downside can be mitigated."
Mirror Hongchen also noticed that Ji Juechen might be very suitable for Battle Armor.
With the addition of Battle Armor, Ji Juechen's combat power would immediately soar.
"Hall Master, are you saying there's no problem creating Battle Armor for Ji Juechen?" Su Yu confirmed again.
In the original work, Ji Juechen was easily tricked into leaving by Huo Yuhao, leading Su Yu to feel creating Battle Armor for him might be a loss.
What if a guy like Huo Yuhao appeared and tricked Ji Juechen away?
Mirror Hongchen responded lightly, "No need to worry about that; Ji Juechen only has eyes for the sword. He can better hone himself in Mingde Hall, he won't leave. Especially after just fighting Yuhao, I bet he'll be sticking to Yuhao for more challenges."
Mirror Hongchen offered condolences for Huo Yuhao.
Su Yu, however, did not relax vigilance because of Mirror Hongchen's explanation.
Shrek Academy has more people like this.
Besides, compared to Mingde Hall, using Shrek's Soul Masters to hone Sword Dao is more fitting.
Therefore, it's still necessary to bind Ji Juechen in other ways. For example, integrating the Celestial Meteorite Iron Sword he longs for into his Martial Soul.
Of course, ideally, it should be with other capabilities that can continuously attract Ji Juechen's attention.
Preferably abilities Ji Juechen can master himself, not something obtained by requesting others to create Battle Armor.
"For example, my Sword Rune and my Godslaying Sword."
...
Ji Juechen's challenge failed.
However, winning three consecutive matches earned him no less than seven hundred kilograms of rare metals.
This is useless to Ji Juechen, but enough as a way in to request someone to help forge Battle Armor.
Currently, within Mingde Hall, there are some Soul Guides who have mastered Battle Armor crafting technology, besides Xuan Ziweng, Su Yu, Mirror Hongchen, those involved in the development of the technology, as well as Huo Yuhao who benefited from the first wave and Xiao Ping and three others from the third group who benefited from the Soul Fighting Competition promotion plan, other researchers also received Battle Armor technology.
Currently, the batch production of Basic Battle Armor has entered the right track.
To be more precise, the Core Array of standardized Basic Battle Armor has been essentially confirmed.
The concept of standardized Battle Armor is well understood; it is the type of Battle Armor suitable to provide some enhancement to all types of Soul Masters, widely applicable and mass-produced.
His disagreement with Xu Tianran does not mean that Mirror Hongchen is truly independent of the Sun and Moon Empire. He's still aware of Mingde Hall's true responsibilities.
The confidentiality measures for the standardized Battle Armor's Core Array are also implemented to the fullest, preventing maximum technology leaks.
In fact, Mirror Hongchen's approach doesn't have much effect.
The creation of Basic Battle Armor involves principles, where the most crucial part is the integration with Martial Soul.
No matter the confidentiality measures, leakage is inevitable.
However, even if it leaks, it will only be partial, and no matter how brilliant some may be to decipher the mystery of Basic Battle Armor, it will not impact Mingde Hall.
Battle Armor is high-end technology, but the core of this high-end technology lies in the technology for creating more advanced Battle Armor.
For example, the technology of Spirit Metal, such as the Domain technology of Super Battle Armor.
Mirror Hongchen's current actions are merely focusing conflicts temporarily on the most basic technology of Basic Battle Armor.
By the time this focus is breached by various forces, and the Sun and Moon Empire is unified, whether Battle Armor technology truly leaks or not will no longer be important.
