Chapter 166 Xuanzi has gone mad! He wants to destroy the Heavenly Curtain?
And at this moment...
The central area of the Mingde Hall core laboratory was illuminated by powerful lights, making it as bright as day.
The level nine Soul Masters gathered around the scene, their faces full of anticipation as they awaited the next test.
They all knew that this test would have far-reaching consequences.
If the final test yields a good result, it will be a breakthrough for their Sun Moon Empire.
However, Kong Deming did not wear it himself, but instead ordered a level 50 Soul King-level researcher to stand on the testing platform.
Because they had already learned through the Sky Curtain that although the One-Word Fighting Might could enhance the user's abilities, the enhancement level was limited to levels 50 to 60.
The higher the soul power level, the less the boost it provides. So unless you wear a higher level battle armor, it's practically the same as not improving anything if a titled Douluo like Kong Deming wears battle armor.
Naturally, testing would be impossible.
Therefore, at this moment, the Soul King looked tense, and with the assistance of several level-nine Soul Masters, he locked the replica left arm armor, chest armor, and flight components one by one. The sound of metal connecting was exceptionally clear in the silent laboratory.
"Connect your soul power, activate," Kong Deming coldly commanded.
As soul power was injected, the thousands of magic array nodes inside the replica battle armor began to glow with a faint and slightly mottled purple light.
Because the purity of the silver in the Black World and the precision of the magic array inscription could not be completely equivalent to those in the White World, the surface of the armor emitted a slight metallic vibration, and even emitted a scorching electromagnetic smell in some areas.
"Begin the strength test."
The Soul King took a deep breath and activated his Martial Soul.
The pressure fluctuations that originally belonged to the Soul King level suddenly erupted after being filtered and amplified by the core array of the chest armor.
The readings on the energy monitor on the laboratory wall began to jump wildly.
Level 51, Level 53, Level 55...
Finally, the pointer stopped just short of level 58.
This replica, created by a team of level nine soul masters, did not achieve the perfect amplification of the White World Battle Armor that spanned ten levels, but it did provide a genuine level eight amplification of soul power.
Moreover, when this Soul King activated the "Void Anchor Point" according to the logic explained by Bei Bei, his flight wings emitted condensed streams of orderly light, allowing him to perform a near-instantaneous phase shift within the confined laboratory.
"Test successful." Kong Deming looked at the stopped data, and the corners of his previously tense mouth finally curled into a smile.
"Although stability is still lacking, the core logic has been successfully implemented."
Looking at the monitoring report, Jing Hongchen's voice trembled with extreme excitement: "An increase of level eight... and although this manufacturing process is complicated, as long as we establish a specialized production line for order molds, we can carry out large-scale mass production."
"This means that from now on, our Sun Moon Empire's Soul King Legion will instantly transform into the Soul Emperor Legion."
Kong Deming nodded, his eyes no longer suppressing their elation.
He knew very well that mass production meant that the Sun Moon Empire had grasped the key to qualitative change through quantitative change.
...
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away at Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion.
Mu En, Xuan Zi, Xian Lin'er, and Qian Duoduo watched every single second of the test that was capable of destroying Shrek Academy, thanks to the footage transmitted back by the agents at great personal risk.
The air inside the Sea God Pavilion seemed to freeze.
The sense of powerlessness brought about by the technological gap made these elders, who stood at the pinnacle of Soul Masters, feel an unprecedented sense of suffocation.
"Level eight amplification... and, it can be mass-produced?" Xian Lin'er's face turned pale, and due to the extreme psychological shock, her voice sounded unreal and surreal.
"Kong Deming himself said that mass production is possible, which proves that it really can be mass-produced."
"But what does this mean? It means that in the future, Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire at the Soul King level and above will naturally be eight levels higher than our Soul Masters!"
"And... this is only a single-word battle armor." Qian Duoduo slumped back in his chair, his eyes vacant.
"If a single-word battle armor has this kind of power, what if they use the Sky Curtain to replicate two-word, three-word, or even higher-level four-word battle armor in the future?"
"Does that mean the Sun Moon Royal Academy is truly invincible? What can our Shrek Academy use to compete with them?"
Qian Duoduo's question plunged everyone present into an even deeper silence.
The advantage of martial spirits seems so ridiculous at this moment. No matter how high the talent of Shrek's monsters is, they cannot bridge this gap built by the laws of industry and order.
As for Moon, his already aged face appeared even more withered at this moment.
He slowly turned his head and looked at the two heads of the Soul Guidance Department again.
"Lin'er, Duoduo, I'll ask you one last time. Is it really true that Shrek Academy can't even produce one of these things?"
Xian Lin'er smiled sadly and shook her head: "Teacher, we can't even simulate the 'non-contact resonance' frequency of the raw materials. This technology is based on the perfect order and civilization of the White World. We don't have that kind of environment here."
Moon remained silent.
He closed his eyes, as if he could already see the Sun Moon Empire's battle armor legion trampling the Douluo Continent.
We have already witnessed the unprecedented triumph of the Sun Moon Royal Academy.
Putting everything else aside, just in terms of Dou Kai alone, Shrek Academy could never compare.
At this moment, Hei Xuanzi completely lost his mind.
The multiple pains of being overtaken by his arch-rival, humiliated by technology, and crushed by reality caused his soul power to begin a frenzied reverse flow.
"Damn it! It's all that damned Sky Curtain's fault!" Hei Xuanzi roared as he stood up, crushing the wine gourd in his hand into powder, splashing amber-colored wine all over the ground.
"From the moment this celestial canopy appeared, it has been suppressing Shrek Academy! It disgusts me in front of the entire continent, exposes our future, and now it is even directly assisting those scoundrels of the Sun Moon Empire!"
Hei Xuanzi's eyes were bloodshot, and his already violent aura was now completely out of control.
In his view, the annihilation that Shrek Academy was facing was entirely due to the Sky Curtain.
"This scourge is doomed! Even if it costs me my life, I will drag it down from the sky!"
Hei Xuanzi let out a shrill roar, and a dense, earthy-yellow light burst forth instantly.
His figure expanded violently within the Sea God Pavilion, and the phantom image of the Gluttonous Divine Ox's martial spirit true form flashed by.
"Xuanzi, what are you doing?"
Ignoring Mu En's obstruction, he transformed into an extremely thick, earth-yellow streak of light, rising up in anger, smashing through the roof of the Sea God Pavilion, and frantically flying towards the huge and untouchable sky above!
He will destroy this damned sky all by himself!
