Chapter 444: Chapter 450: I’ve Never Seen Someone as Despicable as You! (Fifth Update)
“This…this… such an incredible strength!” The Great Clan Elder wore an expression of disbelief as he watched Second Elder embedded in the wall, his face filled with shock.
The others also stared at the Second Elder, shell-shocked, all gasping in unison.
“How is this possible, when did Saint Lin become so powerful?”
“Could it all be because of the Iron Armor?”
“Does this mean that after donning the Iron Armor, one’s overall strength will increase by a factor of two or even more?”
In the midst of the buzzing discussion, Second Elder extricated himself from the wall with a bang. Almost instantaneously, he was standing before Saint Lin, scrutinizing the Iron Armor from every angle, his face solemn as he asked in a low voice, “Saint, is the power unleashed by this Iron Armor determined by the abilities of the one controlling it?”
At this question, everyone was taken aback, their breaths halting.
If the power of this Iron Armor genuinely was determined by the abilities of its controller, then if it were operated by an individual in the Mahayana Phase… it was unthinkable.
Saint Lin took a deep breath. Under the earnest gazes of the crowd, he said slowly, “While this junior has yet to fully grasp the true might of the Iron Armor, based on my judgment, the Iron Armor has not yet achieved its highest potential. In other words, this junior cannot yet bring out the true power of the Iron Armor.”
Boom—!
At Saint Lin’s words, everyone erupted into uproar. All present drew in their breaths, exchanging incredulous looks.
“Divine weapon, this is a divine weapon!” At that point, personal grudges were the least of Second Elder’s concerns. Any personal grudge could be dismissed in the face of the race’s interests.
“With this Iron Armor in our possession, and especially if it ends up in the hands of us, the Ke Clan, then the Ke Clan will truly have attained great fortune.”
“What do you mean?” The Great Clan Elder was intrigued, recognizing the meaning behind Second Elder’s words, but couldn’t quite believe it and asked.
“Great Clan Elder, given the Ke Clan’s skills and achievements in tool refining, if we are able to crack the production of this Iron Armor, the Ke Clan can surpass the Ancient Spirit Clan and become one of the strongest Ancient tribes!”
The Great Clan Elder took a deep breath, staring at Saint Lin as he asked, “Does this Iron Armor truly exist only as a solitary piece in this world?”
Saint Lin too grew excited and nodded, saying, “Of course! Yang Zhen vowed on his Spirit Soul to never forge this kind of Iron Armor after this.”
“May heaven bless our Ke Clan!” The Great Clan Elder could not hide his excitement.
Everyone looked eagerly at Saint Lin, their eyes fixated on the Iron Armor he wore. Suddenly, the Second Elder asked, “I heard the terrifying speed that this Iron Armor can reach exceeds even what a Tribulation Crossing Period powerhouse can achieve?”
“Yang Zhen once manipulated the Iron Armor, causing sonic booms!”
“My! Could it really be so terrifying?” asked the Great Clan Elder, doubtful and flabbergasted.
“Every word is true!” Saint Lin laughed scornfully. Although he wasn’t yet able to exploit the full speed of the Iron Armor, he could already cause sonic booms!
“Quick, try it out!” Second Elder said urgently.
All present were eager to test it out when suddenly, a hearty voice echoed from outside the door.
“What’s going on? What has everyone so delighted?”
“No good, it’s Elder Qian, quickly hide the Iron Armor!” Second Elder’s face changed color as he hurriedly told Saint Lin.
Saint Lin gave a wry smile and replied, “Second Elder, Elder Qian was present at the time. He served as my public witness.”
Second Elder’s face darkened instantly, and even without thinking, he knew why Elder Qian was here at this time.
On one hand he wanted the Iron Armor to return to the Ancient Spirit Clan, and on the other, he probably wanted the Ke Clan to take the lead in entering the Mobei Abyss.
Elder Qian, the old geezer, despite appearing kind and benign, was in reality a sly fox.
…
Ink Pool Peak, Yang Zhen was unaware of the incidents that occurred after the battle armor his team crafted was dispatched. Even if he had been aware, he wouldn’t have been bothered. He made sure there was a clear exchange of money for goods and once they were out of his hands, it wasn’t his business to provide customer service. Even if the ancient tribes and the great sects tore the armor apart in their disputes, he didn’t see it as his concern.
Besides, Yang Zhen was not worried about getting in trouble. He had sworn not to craft such things in the future. Who could still have a bone to pick with him?
Inside the cave, Yang Zhen and the mischievous cat glanced at each other and laughed heartily as they gazed at a more radiantly metallic, beautifully violent suit of battle armor. A wave of smug laughter rippled through them.
“Kid, you’ve crafted another set of battle armor, aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?” The cat looked at Yang Zhen with a face full of schadenfreude.
Yang Zhen shrugged and pointed at the battle armor: “Open your cat eyes wide and see clearly, is this armor crafted by Sao Saint?”
“Kid, I have little schooling, don’t try to fool me. Even though the exterior looks a bit different, isn’t this the battle armor?” The cat was uncompromising, and eager for a debate.
The naughty chicken on the side was nodding its head non-stop, full of doubt.
This was the battle armor, and it was even more badass than the one Yang Zhen had crafted before. It looked more stunning!
Looking at the eyes of the cat and the chicken, Yang Zhen stood tall and said naturally: “This is the… Battle Armor 1.0!”
“Holy cow, how is this possible?” The cat’s eyeballs bulged out, “Isn’t Battle Armor 1.0 still battle armor?”
“No!” Yang Zhen replied seriously.
“Then…what is it?” The cat was full of confusion.
“It’s Version 1.0!”
“Damn!” The cat rolled its eyes, “I have never seen such a scoundrel.”
“Thank you for the compliment!”
The cat did not dwell on this point for too long and asked excitedly, “What are you going to craft next?”
Yang Zhen contemplated for a moment and said, “Next, Sao Saint is going to craft two kinds of aircraft that are both cool and high-performance. But before that, I need to study the Shangyan Ancient Scripture.”
“Oh yo, you are finally going to practice the Shangyan Ancient Scripture, don’t worry, I’ll guard for you. If anyone dares to disturb you, I will slap him off.”
“Idiot!” The naughty chicken despised.
The cat was furious and turned to wrestle with the chicken.
Yang Zhen ignored these two clearly brainless guys, walked to the side and sat down slowly.
The reason he targeted the Ke Clan’s Shangyan Ancient Scripture was not that the scripture was anything special, but that Yang Zhen found the Shangyan Ancient Scripture seemed to have some connection with the Heavenly Book arcana. It was very suitable for his own cultivation.
The Shangyan Ancient Scripture was a sacred level cultivation method created by Emperor Shangyan. Although it was only a sacred level, it contained extremely profound mysteries of heaven and earth. The reason why the Ke Clan achieved such high accomplishments in crafting was deeply connected to the Shangyan Ancient Scripture.
However, the mysteries of heaven and earth contained in the Shangyan Ancient Scripture were too profound and complex. It was said that even the ke clan forefathers had not fully understood it, yet the Shangyan Ancient Scripture was still an extremely rare cultivation method.
The reason why the Ke clan valued this cultivation method was because this method played a vital role in the future of the tribe. Once outsiders fully understand the most profound mysteries of heaven and earth in the Shangyan Ancient Scripture, it was nearly possible to create another race more formidable than the Ke clan.
Of course, the potential for this was very low. Even after inheriting it for tens of thousands of years, the Ke clan had not fully understood it. How could others understand it?
Yang Zhen?
Impossible!
Saint Lin was comfortable confidence!
