Chapter 201: The Limits of the Source Power Armor
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Roda had already seen the Explosive Fist before.
Now he wanted to witness the Source Power Armor, which was only fair.
Hearing Roda’s answer, Lu Ming did not hesitate.
Following his thought, Lu Ming moved a little, and the Source Power Armor that protected every cell in his body began to emit a radiant glow.t
In an instant, Lu Ming’s entire body was illuminated by a blue light, dazzling and mysterious.
“Source Power Armor at the micro level truly lives up to its name. It permeates every cell, essentially layering countless shields of Source Power Armor around the user.
“Compared to the Perfect Level, the defensive capabilities of Micro-level Source Power Armor are increased many times over!”
“Moreover, once I’ve cultivated the Source Power Armor to the Micro level, it becomes more of a passive ability, requiring very little Source Power to maintain, providing continuous protection.”
“Right now, I’m radiating blue light just to make it clearer for you, but under normal circumstances, Micro-level Source Power Armor doesn’t emit any light.”
Lu Ming briefly explained the effects of Micro-level Source Power Armor, and Roda’s face lit up with joy.
It was the joy of a hunter who had found his prey!
Roda was nicknamed the “Martial Madman”.
From his nickname, one could tell this person’s personality.
“May I touch it?”
After Roda asked this question, Lu Ming thought for a moment and nodded, “Sure.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming felt a pair of large hands pinch his shoulders.
It had to be admitted that the scene of the two grown men touching each other might seem a bit awkward. And it did make Uncle Lu and Roxin raise their eyebrows and joke about it.
But neither Roda nor Lu Ming had any discomfort about it – to a certain extent, the two of them were both straightforward individuals….
After a while, Roda retracted his hand and sighed in satisfaction. “Excellent!
It’s truly excellent!”
He also cultivated the Source Power Armor, but his level was very low.
This was because he had another higher level protective technique on him—but no matter how high level the protective technique was, it was also derived from the Source Power Armor.
To put it bluntly, the Source Power Armor was the ancestor of all protective techniques.
Therefore, researching the Micro-level Source Power Armor could also deepen Roda’s comprehension of other protective techniques.
From the looks of it, he seemed to have made some gains as well.
After savoring the experience for a long time, Roda opened his eyes again and said respectfully to Lu Ming, “1 have another presumptuous request.”
Lu Ming asked, “What is it?”
“Can I observe in more detail how the Source Power Armor performs when under attack?”
Lu Ming frowned and was somewhat reluctant.
—because it meant he would become a punching bag.
Perhaps sensing Lu Ming’s unwillingness, Roda hurriedly added, “I’m willing to pay any price for this!”
This might be the world of the Martial Fanatics…
There was nothing more important than gaining greater strength and higher-level Source Power Skills.
Seeing the eager and somewhat pleading expression on Roda’s face, Lu Ming could not help but think of himself….
It was a similar obsession.
It was a single-minded pursuit of ultimate power!
People with such a mindset shared a distinct characteristic—simplicity.
Thinking of the word ‘simplicity’, Lu Ming could not help but smile.
“Alright, I agree.”
“As for the price, well, there’s no need for any price. Just treat it as help between friends.”
Roda was initially surprised but soon smiled in response.
In order to better experience the defense capabilities of Micro-level Source Power Armor, Roda asked for Uncle Lu’s assistance.
He rested his hand on Lu Ming’s shoulder and explained to Lu Ming and Uncle Lu, “When Uncle Lu attacks later, Lu Ming, circulate the Source Power Armor. I’ll observe in detail the operating logic of the Micro-level Source Power Armor through touch and protect Lu Ming at the same time.”
After saying this, Roda looked at Uncle Lu. “Lu Ming’s current strength is probably at Physique Realm Level 3. Uncle Lu, you will use your strength at Physique Realm Level 4 first.”
The difference in power between each level of the Physique Realm was significant.
However, if the Micro-level Source Power Armor could not even withstand attacks across levels, it would not be worth studying.
Hearing Roda’s words, Lu Ming and Uncle Lu nodded in unison. After Lu Ming was fully prepared, Uncle Lu threw a punch at him.
The fist struck Lu Ming’s right shoulder.
There was a loud “thud” but Lu Ming did not move at all. Instead, Uncle Lu frowned and suddenly retracted his fist, gently rubbing his wrist.
Uncle Lu commented, “That’s quite strong resistance, at least 80% of the force of my punch.”
Roda, meanwhile, was carefully observing the subtle changes in the Source Power Armor, and he asked Lu Ming, “Can you still withstand the strength?”
Lu Ming nodded, “It was very easy for me.”
So, Uncle Lu exerted more strength!
Lu Ming easily withstood a punch from a Level 5 Physique Realm expert.
It was the same for a punch at Level 6 of the Physique Realm!
He did not know how strong Uncle Lu was. In short, he kept increasing his strength. Even if he reached Level 9 of the Physique Realm, he could easily do it without any pressure!
However, Lu Ming was under pressure…
“It’s the limit.”
After resisting a punch from a Level 9 Physique Realm expert, Lu Ming could not help but take two steps back. The Source Power Armor in his body vaguely showed signs of collapsing under the huge force. Lu Ming also felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.
“Therefore, the A/Iicro-Level Source Power Armor used with the strength of the Level 3 Physique Realm can withstand the attack of the Level 9 Physique Realm.”
This time, Lu Ming had finally found the upper limit of his defense.
Behind him, Roda slowly retracted his hand with a thoughtful expression.
Soon, he arrived in the center of the martial arts arena without saying a word. Endless golden light bloomed from the surface of his body.
“Thank you, Mr. Lu.”
Uncle Lu said to Lu Ming and then pointed at Roda. “The City Lord has gained some insights. Now, he’s verifying his theories.”
Lu Ming nodded in understanding.
This marked the end of today’s sparring session.
Of course, there was no rest.
Lu Ming was not here to be a sparring partner, but to farm attributes.
On the other side, Roda did not say a word and only kept circulating his Body Fortification technique. His entire body seemed to have entered a state of enlightenment.
On the other side, Lu Ming assumed a posture and began to cultivate the Body Forging Technique.
One repetition after another….
In the beginning, Roxin and Uncle Lu did not pay much attention to Lu Ming. However, as Lu Ming began to cultivate his fifth repetition of the Body Forging Technique, the two of them looked at each other.
“This person seems quite diligent…”
Roxin whispered. As she spoke, Uncle Lu also nodded and looked at Roda, who was still in a state of contemplation.
“Compared to Young Master, he’s quite impressive.”
The two of them looked at Lu Ming and then at Roda.
One cultivated the Body Forging technique, and the other circulated the Body Fortification technique.
Although their cultivation focuses were different, their expressions were remarkably similar – a kind of intense concentration, as if they were carved from the same mold.
Soon, four to five hours passed.
Roda stopped cultivating first and without exchanging a word with anyone, he returned to his room with a tired and thoughtful expression.
Lu Ming also stopped practicing, bidding farewell to Roxin and Uncle Lu before retiring to his room to rest.
This scene made Roxin smile wryly.
“No wonder my brother wants to be friends with him.”
“I thought my brother is quite obsessed. This person’s obsession might not be inferior to my brother’s.”
Uncle Lu nodded in agreement, wearing an expression of acknowledgment..
