Chapter 538 - Flame Body (2/2)

Relying on the flame elements that wreathed him, he could instantaneously raise the force of his attack’s impact. This was the core of his combat style.

Wu Siduo pondered how to deal with him. Ye Wu was too fast for her to chase after him in her Hell Civet form and she couldn’t continue to endure his attacks in her White Tiger form much longer either. Even with White Tiger Diamond Transformation, the assault of his flames was shaving away at her defenses. It might have been possible for her to overcome him if her White Tiger had four rings, but it didn’t.

She had no other choice now. Taking a deep breath in, her eyes began to shine with resolution. She threw out both hands and two beams of light shot out of her ring and onto her hands. An instant later, the lights manifested a pair of white and gold gauntlets. Then another two lights shot out and manifested a pair of pauldrons. She was now equipped with four pieces of battle armor!

The two clashed for the third time, winds kicking up around them from the impact.

Ye Wu was the loser this time. He had been moving too quickly to react when he saw Wu Siduo equip battle armor and was sent flying backward. On the other hand, Wu Siduo suffered no damage at all, unmoved from her position.

There was finally an opening in Ye Wu’s defenses as he flew through the air. Wu Siduo instantly switched martial souls and pounced upon him. Her battle armor shimmered transparent as she darted forward with Hell Rush! In a flicker of movement, she reached Ye Wu and slashed with her claws!

Off-stage, Song Lin’s eyes went wide with astonishment, then she furrowed her brow and pressed her lips tight together. Just how strong are these first graders? This one already has four pieces of battle armor! And they were made with her twin martial souls in mind! Battle armor for twin martial souls is way harder to make! If she keeps going at this rate, she should just about complete a set of one-word armor by the time she enters the second grade! Impossible!

In the audience, Luo Guixing smirked as he glanced at Tang Wulin and Gu Yue.

Those pieces of armor were the results of the rankers’ blood and sweat. Although the pieces weren’t made of spirit alloys, they were still designed for twin martial souls. However, the armor was weaker than normal one-word level due to how short on time they had been and how demanding the production process was.

After seeing Tang Wulin’s team pull off crafting battle armor with spirit alloys, the rankers had resolved themselves to succeed in crafting battle armor as well. After some discussion, they had decided to pour their efforts into making armor for Wu Siduo, resulting in these four pieces while leaving the rest with one or two each. They had elected her their champion to lead them on the path of catching up to Tang Wulin.

In the entire first grade, Wu Siduo had the highest rank of soul power of 44. While there was still a gap between her and Ye Wu’s rank 48, it was not insurmountable. Now with the appearance of those four pieces of battle armor, the gap was closed and the tide of battle shifted.

Just before Wu Siduo struck him down, Ye Wu’s cloak of flames turned from jade to azure.

Wu Siduo felt the heat recede, but burning pain struck her the next instant. Her entire body was aflame, and even her spiritual power was being eaten away.

Then Wu Siduo’s Hell Rush struck. Ye Wu thrust his arms out to defend. Shining blue armor clad his arms. It was battle armor!

The two clashed, each pushing to gain ground on the other. Ye Wu was in a disadvantage as his posture had yet to recover when Wu Siduo struck. With a spurt of strength, Wu Siduo’s tide won over and she sent Ye Wu flying backward once more.

But Ye Wu fixed his stance mid-air with the grace of a dancer. The azure flames burst to life on his body and he propelled himself further backward in retreat, cutting off Wu Siduo’s opportunity to finish the battle.

With the large distance opened up between them, Ye Wu took the chance to throw on one piece of battle armor after another. Gauntlets, pauldrons, cuisses, and greaves. Eight pieces of battle armor in total. Although he didn’t have a chestplate to connect them all, he still had twice as much armor as Wu Siduo. This was his true strength and the advantage of time the third grade had over the first. With his armor equipped, he was twice as fast as before and his flames blazed with unrelenting might.

I can’t block his attacks anymore!Wu Siduo knew his strength far eclipsed her’s now. She had no hopes of defending with any soul skills from either of her martial souls. As expected of a senior in the third grade!But even so, she did not back down. Her eyes shone with determination.

Wu Siduo released her battle armor and they returned to her storage ring in streams of light. In their wake, a tribal pattern began to glow on her body. This was the prelude to her soul fusion skill, Hell White Tiger!

A phantom Hell White Tiger appeared around her, larger and more corporeal than the last time she used this skill. The instant it appeared, the space around it began to warp.
