Chapter 542 - One-Word Battle Armor Master (2/2)
Darkness descended upon the arena, choking out the stellar rain. Another wave of Swan Feathers flew out at Ye Xinglan, whose aura of iridescent starlight was dimming back to normal as her second soul skill wore off. The tables had turned!
Even as the last of the starlight extinguished from her body, Ye Xinglan remained unperturbed. But in the very depths of her light was a frenzied light. She had never given up, and today wouldn't be the day she did. In fact, it was because of her unwillingness to admit defeat that she and Tang Wulin had fought so fiercely until the end of their first meeting. She cared not that her opponent was a five-ringed Soul King, nor that they were a one-word battle armor master. None of that mattered. If losing was inevitable, then she would only do so after displaying her full strength. Once she did that, she could lose with her head held high.
Ye Xinglan tightened her grip on her StarG.o.d Sword. A light enveloped her hands and manifested as gauntlets. Then the light on her right hand spread up her arm and formed a pauldron as well. With the appearance of her battle armor, the waning power of Sword Star Rain surged forth once more.
This was Ye Xinglan's might! A pair of gauntlets and a pauldron for her right shoulder, three pieces of battle armor crafted of spirit alloys! Although her armor was few, they empowered her Sword Star Rain enough to hold back the dark tide of feathers.
Three pieces of battle armor? She's already got three pieces in her second year here? And they're all crafted of spirit alloys… All of the teachers and students of the upper grades were shocked. These kids are monsters!
The higher-ups of Shrek Academy had long since heard murmurs of the first grade cla.s.s possessing pieces of one-word battle armor made of spirit alloys. However, they had thought those only to be rumors. This was their first time verifying with their own eyes, and the proof was not one, but three pieces of such battle armor!
Across all of the grades, there were few who recognized battle armor crafted of spirit alloys. Those who didn't recognize it could only marvel and wonder why Ye Xinglan's battle armor seemed as powerful as two-word pieces. The difference in power amplification between spirit alloy battle armor and normal armor pieces of the same grade wasn't too great. But because it was made of spirit alloys, there was definitely an increase in its amplification effects and durability. Even so, three pieces of spirit alloy battle armor should only match five pieces of ordinary armor.
Among Tang Wulin's entire team, Ye Xinglan possessed the most pieces of armor. It was the most efficient choice to focus on her armor first since she was their main armor maker. With each additional piece of armor she gained, her success rate and quality of work increased. The answer had been obvious from the beginning, so as soon as everyone on their team had one piece of armor, they s.h.i.+fted gears to focusing on her armor. Once her set was finished, she could rapidly churn out armor for the other members. Her three pieces of battle armor were the result of this decision.
Ye Xinglan's battle armor shed specks of starlight as it empowered her Sword Star Rain to push back against the flood of feathers. However, her opponent was a true one-word battle armor master! Her mere three pieces only increased her Sword Star Rain enough to push back momentarily before the feathers began to gain ground again.
In the face of the storm of darkness, Ye Xinglan's gaze remained resolute, and her first and third soul rings began s.h.i.+ning at the same time.
The audience watched with antic.i.p.ation. Using multiple soul skills at once was a high-level technique that was difficult even for students of the legendary Shrek Academy. It required a deep understanding of one's martial soul and precise control to pull off. It was clear that Ye Xinglan had succeeded in the technique as the stellar aura around her reignited with strength.
The rain of starlight reversed flow in the sky and converged on Ye Xinglan. Her figure disappeared in the congregation of starlight, and a moment later a giant StarG.o.d Sword floated in her place, the fusion of countless strands of condensed sword intent. It was the result of combining Sword Star Rain, Starfall Sword, and SwordG.o.d's Star.
