Chapter 164: The Birth of Primary Soul-Guided Armor; Titan Loses His Position as Master of the Divine Forging Hall!
"Sister Gu Yuena, can I talk to you about something?"
Qian Renxue said earnestly.
Gu Yuena nodded and said, "Go ahead."
"Dad has never ridden a dragon, it's so pitiful. Can you grant his wish? Let him ride one!"
Qian Renxue said.
Gu Yuena blinked, unsure what to say for a moment. Although she knew Qian Renxue meant no harm, she still wanted to say something…
Qian Renxue, you're not as cute as I thought!
night.
Gu Yuena looked at the sleeping Qian Renxue, her gaze drifting towards the entrance of the palace, her eyes seemingly carrying a hint of anticipation!
"etc!"
Gu Yuena shook her head, trying to clear her mind.
"What am I thinking?!"
...
One night passed.
Gu Yuena suddenly opened her eyes, and when she saw Qian Renxue's stunningly beautiful face, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief!
"Xue'er, why are you awake so early?"
Gu Yuena asked.
Qian Renxue waved her hand, "Sister Gu Yuena, the sun's already high in the sky!"
Gu Yuena then realized it was almost noon. She quickly got up and said with some helplessness, "I've been sleeping in the ice coffin for too long, I haven't adjusted yet!"
"It's okay!"
Qian Renxue comforted her.
Gu Yuena looked outside the door and whispered, "Didn't anyone come here last night?"
No! Who would come?
Qian Renxue asked in confusion.
Gu Yuena shook her head, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes. She quickly realized something was wrong and looked at herself in disbelief!
What's wrong with me?
"How could I be disappointed?!"
"No, no, no, no..."
...
On the other side.
Inside the Papal Palace.
Qian Xunji looked at the basic soul-guided armor placed in the center of the hall. When he injected his soul power into it, golden light shone on the armor, and its defensive power was greatly enhanced.
"Your Holiness, this set of basic soul-guided armor will be crafted according to the blueprints you provided. After use, your body will be illuminated with dazzling light."
Lou Gao excitedly stepped forward and said.
"Most importantly, when a basic soul-guided armor is activated, the wearer's defense, attack power, and movement speed can be increased by 50%, and even the soul power recovery speed can be increased by 30%!"
"The cost to craft a basic set of soul-guided armor is around 20,000 gold soul coins, which is not expensive at all!"
"If a large number of low-level Soul Masters were equipped with basic Soul Guidance Armor, they would be an invincible army!"
Lou Gao looked at Qian Xunji with excitement in his eyes. This groundbreaking soul-guided armor was made by him!
When the army wearing soul-guided armor tramples through the capitals of the two great empires, his name, Lou Gao, will also spread throughout the entire continent and be admired by thousands!
Qian Xunji nodded in satisfaction, understanding that what Lou Gao said was absolutely true.
"How many sets can you produce in a year if you go all out?"
Qianxun asked urgently.
Lou Gao immediately replied, "I can forge one set in a day if I put all my effort into it!"
"This means the plan to equip the Spirit Hall's army will be delayed for a long time!"
Qianxun murmured.
Lou Gao said again, "Your Holiness, I have already figured out the forging process of this set of soul-guided armor. As long as Your Holiness agrees, I can disassemble it into countless parts and hand them over to my blacksmiths for forging."
"According to my subordinates' estimates, due to the initial lack of proficiency and the wear and tear, we can only produce fifty sets a day!"
"After a month of practice, I can produce hundreds of sets a day!"
"It will only take one year to equip an army of 100,000!"
Qian Xunji looked at the little old man in front of him and felt that Lou Gao was a bit excited and warlike!
"Okay, we'll do it your way!"
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Just as Lou Gao was about to excitedly walk out, Qian Xun called out to stop him.
"etc!"
Lou Gao turned around and saw that Qian Xunji had produced another blueprint in his hand.
"These are the blueprints for the Soul Guidance Cannon. Take a look while you're at it!"
Qianxun said quickly.
Lou Gao took the blueprints and looked at them. He quickly said, "This is easy to forge. There are basically no small parts. It's just that the spiritual energy conversion device is a bit more troublesome. I'm confident that I can forge it within a month... no, within a week!"
"Okay! Remember to rest and don't overwork yourself!"
Qianxun rushed down the road.
At this moment.
The guard at the gate reported, "Your Holiness, the Lord of the Divine Forging Hall, Elder Titan, requests an audience!"
"Let him in!"
Qianxunji said calmly.
When Titan entered, the basic soul-guided armor had already been put away, and Lou Gao carefully put away the blueprints in his hand.
"Your Holiness, Titan has come to resign from his position as Lord of the Divine Forging Hall!"
Titan said directly.
Qian Xunji sneered inwardly, "Has Elder Titan suffered some injustice?"
"Your Holiness, I haven't suffered any injustice. I just don't want to continue. I just want to take my family and find a place to work as a blacksmith!"
Titan said directly.
Qianxun said quickly, "Since Elder Titan has already made up his mind, then let's part ways amicably. This Pope will have Yueguan and Guimei send you on your way!"
Titan froze on the spot. He had been staring at Lou Gao for a long time. Every time Lou Gao came, he was extremely excited, and when he left, he was all smiles.
Based on his understanding of tall buildings, he must have forged something amazing!
He originally intended to retreat in order to advance by angrily resigning, but Qian Xunji tried his best to persuade him to stay. In the end, he had no choice but to tell the reason for the matter. Finally, Qian Xunji let him participate in the forging, and everyone was happy!
But things aren't going according to his plan at all!
Why did Qian Xunji agree so readily?
You've wanted to kick him out for a long time, haven't you?!
They even said they'd have Yue Guan and Gui Mei escort them on their way—escort them to where? The Gates of Hell?!
Yue Guan walked up to Titan and said, "Titan, let's go!"
Titan instantly sobered up upon seeing the murderous glint in Yue Guan's eyes. He immediately said, "Your Holiness, I am wronged. Why can't I participate in the forging? As the master of the Divine Forging Hall, why can't I do something for the Spirit Hall?"
Looking at Titan's expression, Qian Xunji said calmly, "You are no longer the Lord of the Divine Forging Hall!"
"Your Holiness, those were just my words spoken in anger, please don't take them seriously!"
Titan became even more anxious when he saw that Qian Xunji was serious.
Qianxun quickly said, "It's not that I, the Pope, don't want you to do this, but your skills are not as good as Lou Gao's, and you are unable to create the items in the [Hundred Solutions to Divine Weapons]!"
"I'd be happy to be Lou Gao's assistant! As long as I can contribute to the Spirit Hall!"
Seeing that Qian Xunji seemed to be softening his stance, Titan immediately spoke up.
Qian Xunji slowly said, "In that case, Lou Gao will take over as the Palace Master of the Divine Forging Hall from now on, and you will serve as the Deputy Palace Master, assisting Lou Gao in completing the mission!"
"Everyone in the Divine Forging Hall must completely obey Lou Gao's orders. Anyone who disobeys will be killed!"
