Chapter 161 Bai Huoyuhao is going to build battle armor, and Kong Deming is going to copy his homework.
The brilliance above the sky reached a certain peak at this moment.
Two figures clad in armor of order—Bebe, covered in "Thunder Order," and Tang Ya, shrouded in "Blue Silver Sanctuary"—became the sole focus of the entire plane.
And at this moment...
In the sky...
[The aerial footage continues to play.]
Huo Yuhao stood on the terrace, his dark golden pupils reflecting lightning and blue patterns, staring in shock at the two sets of battle armor before him.
This was the first time he had ever felt the energy circuits of the two-word and one-word battle armor so closely.
The last time he saw something like this was when he first enrolled in school.
[It was Zhou Yi who showed it to him back then, but quite a bit of time has passed.]
Therefore, Huo Yuhao was observing very carefully at this moment.
He carefully sensed the rhythmic connection between the metal and his blood, so much so that he could even hear the breathing of the runes within the armor.
The Soul Masters of the Underworld also fell into this extreme state of dazedness.
On the streets, in secret chambers, and in the martial arts arenas of various empires, countless soul masters watched this scene with shocked expressions and undisguised envy in their eyes.
"Is this Tang Ya and Bei Bei's fighting style?" A titled Douluo from the underworld asked, his voice trembling.
"Sure enough, no matter how many times I see Dou Kai, I still feel envious..."
Among these viewers, the one who is most envious at this moment is undoubtedly Tang Ya from the underworld.
She bit her lip hard and gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands.
The woman in the White World not only possessed battle armor powerful enough to dominate the order of life, but also truly revived the Tang Sect, transforming it into a sovereign mechanical city.
All of this was what she had dreamed of, and was even willing to give her life for.
Unfortunately, in the twisted reality of the underworld, all she gained after all her efforts was decay and despair.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Sun and Moon Empire.
Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen were originally standing on the open ground outside Mingde Hall, looking up at the sky.
When they heard Bai Xuanzi ask Huo Yuhao to begin manufacturing the battle armor, these two top soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire reacted almost simultaneously.
The opportunity has arrived.
"Jing Hongchen, did you see that?" Kong Deming's eyes flashed with an unprecedented brilliance. "Next, Huo Yuhao from the White World will begin the complete battle armor forging process. This is a full-process, all-around demonstration. This is a once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity!"
"Understood!" Jing Hongchen breathed heavily. "Since the technology of the White World far surpasses ours, we'll simply 'follow suit.' We'll handle metal the way Huo Yuhao does; we'll inscribe magic arrays the way he does. We must find a way to replicate Huo Yuhao's battle armor!"
Without any hesitation, Kong Deming immediately issued a death order to the Soul Master Corps behind him.
"Pass down the order! Activate all core laboratories of Mingde Hall. Find similar equipment! Although the level 7 and 8 vibration tables in Mingde Hall's inventory are not as powerful as those in the Sky Curtain, the principle is similar. Immediately mobilize all energy sources to conduct overload experiments and use them for now!"
"Prepare the highest-specification image recording soul guides, no, prepare hundreds of them! Every angle must be clearly captured! Sort out all the rare metals in Mingde Hall, especially the sunken silver, magic silver, and life gold. All alternative materials must be in place!"
Kong Deming even took to the field himself.
His subordinates felt unprecedented pressure and immediately sprang into action.
Within a quarter of an hour, Mingdetang, the factory representing the highest level of soul guidance technology in the underworld, entered an unprecedented state of full-capacity operation.
They intend to force students to "copy homework" in this cross-temporal teaching session.
...
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy in the dark world.
Moon sat in his wheelchair, staring intently at the sky.
He had already understood the difference between the dark world Shrek and the white world through previous comparisons.
In order to prevent Black Shrek from being completely abandoned by the times, he decided to seize every opportunity he could.
"Lin'er, take all the core members of the Soul Guidance Department and follow Tianmu." Mu En's voice was calm, but it carried an undeniable pressure.
"Copy whatever Bai Huoyuhao does. This is our last chance to improve our strength."
Xianliner stood behind Mu En, looking at the complicated facility descriptions, feeling utterly overwhelmed.
"Teacher... we've never even heard of many of the facilities up there." Xian Lin'er reluctantly agreed, her expression extremely heavy. "I can only try my best."
However, when Xianlin'er began preparing the experimental environment, Black Shrek's weaknesses were instantly exposed.
The Sun Moon Empire was able to quickly mobilize a large number of sophisticated machines and rare metals, while the Black Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Laboratory couldn't even gather a few decent vibration machines.
This meager material and technological foundation stands in stark contrast to the bustling activity on the other side of the Sun and Moon Empire.
So after all that, when the images on the screen finally started playing again, Black Shrek was still frantically trying to figure things out.
But the sky won't care about them.
[The video continues playing on the sky.]
The camera pulls back into the Tang Clan's deep forging chamber.
Huo Yuhao was already standing before the high-frequency order forging platform.
His expression had shifted from shock to a refined, almost artisan-like precision.
[Beibei and Tang Ya retrieved their battle armor and stood guard to one side.]
[Beibei said, "Yuhao, before you start, take out the sketch of your 'One-Word Battle Armor.' Only by understanding the underlying laws can the forged metal possess a soul."]
Huo Yuhao nodded and took out several specially made blueprints emitting a faint purple glow from his storage ring.
"This is a diagram of my body's energy distribution based on the analysis of my double pupils. It's a design I created by combining my own characteristics and needs. Could you please take a look?"
As Huo Yuhao laid the blueprints flat on the sensor platform, the detailed contents of the blueprints were displayed clearly and completely on the ceiling.
[It was a blueprint for a left arm armor. The blueprint not only indicated the thickness and proportions of the metal, but also showed thousands of tiny magic array nodes densely distributed throughout. The connection method of each node followed a special rhythmic order, completely different from the soul-guiding arrays of the underworld.]
In the dark world, Kong Deming of the Sun Moon Empire almost pressed his eyes against the recording device the moment the blueprints appeared.
"Quick! Take pictures! Don't miss a single detail!" Kong Deming roared at his subordinates, while he himself lay on the table, staring intently at the sky, frantically recording the array circuits on the blueprints that he had never seen before.
