Chapter 542 - One-Word Battle Armor Master (1/2)

Waves of purple rippled through the sky, the splendor of a purple soul ring blossoming. Ye Xinglan finally used her fourth soul skill!

Taking advantage of the knockback from Mo Jue's Swan Feathers, Ye Xinglan kicked off them and ascended higher into the air. With a twist of her body, she whipped out her sword and repelled the rest of the feather onslaught. The golden light around her kindled with renewed life, blinding light bursting from her body.

The heavens froze as Ye Xinglan ascended in a golden streak accompanied by countless streaks of sword energy, thin as threads. They poured down like a starry rain and washed away the encroaching darkness of the Swan Feathers. After the feathers of darkness, the torrent continued on toward Mo Jue, a baptism of stellar sword energy!

How is this possible? Her fourth soul skill is stronger than my fifth! Mo Jue's eyes widened in shock and furrowed her brows. Letting the shock pa.s.s through her system, she gritted her teeth and pressed on, summoning all of her soul power to continue her a.s.sault of feathers. But the difference in might was clear. In this back and forth between the stellar rain and the feathers of darkness, the rain was gaining ground.

Mo Jue had yet to directly face Ye Xinglan's sword intent, but her palms were growing sweaty as she felting the encroaching ma.s.s of condensed sword intent.

This was the might of Ye Xinglan's fourth soul skill, Stellar Sword Rain.

As wave after wave of rain crashed into the feathers, Mo Jue was pushed back. She wouldn't be able to hold on much longer. She glared at Ye Xinglan and bit her lap, but resolved herself. Even if she didn't want to resort to this, she refused to lose. She understood that she could not win in a battle with just their martial souls. Her eyes shone with pa.s.sionate determination now.

Mo Jue threw out her right hand and a lump of dark green light flew out. It swerved back to her in an arc and into her stomach. A metallic ding rang out, and a breastplate appeared on her well-endowed chest. She thrust out both hands next, pieces of armor flying out of her storage rings and onto her body.

In an instant, Mo Jue was clad in dark green armor. Its design was plain without any decorative patterns, but every piece fitted her well and accentuated her womanly features. With the armor equipped, the strength of her aura doubled and her Swan Feathers were empowered. At last, she began to gain ground in the clash between feathers and stellar rain.

Now that the stellar rain was no longer right upon Mo Jue, her battle armor was clear for all to see. It was a complete set of magnificent dark green armor and a circlet decorated with three feathers crowning her head.

As she floated in the air, she stretched out her body and her armor let out a reverberating cry as it began to glow. Her aura blazed with power, its might rapidly rising. Her Swan Feather's multiplied in number and thoroughly suppressed the stellar rain now.

Off-stage, Song Lin put a hand to her chin and furrowed her brows as she watched. A dull sigh left her lips. There was no doubt that this match was Mo Jue's victory now. Once equipped with her battle armor, Mo Jue's strength rivaled that of a Soul Sage. But anyone with decent eyes could tell that she was losing beforehand. If she hadn't equipped her battle armor, she would have eventually lost to Ye Xinglan. She had only summoned her armor because she was backed into a corner. d.a.m.n these first graders are real monsters! Just how strong can they get?

“The name of my battle armor is Heaven!” With her battle armor a complete one-word set, she had the qualifications to name it. The name she chose stemmed from the reference to the heavens in the meaning of 'swan'. Thus, she was Heaven Mo Jue!

Although the difference between Mo Jue's full set of eleven battle armor pieces versus Ye Wu's eight seemed small, the change to Mo Lan's aura refuted such a.s.sumptions. It was as great as night and day.
