Free Web NovelChapter 304: Chapter 303: Godfall Battle Armor
Qin Feng’s muscles tensed, and he drew in a sharp breath. This ordinary-looking old man before him could actually probe the thoughts deep within his soul.
’Could he be a titan of the Martial Dao!’
The disheveled old man seemed to see right through him. "It’s not that profound. I just have some insight into the path of the soul!"
Qin Feng paled. The path of the soul was the most esoteric and strange; Martial Artists who cultivated the soul were far more difficult to deal with than others.
The disheveled old man spoke impatiently. "Alright, kid, stop your guessing. Take out your Points Card!"
Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng calmed himself. He did his best to keep his mind as still as a tranquil lake, worried that the slightest ripple of thought might leak a secret to the old man.
A smile returned to his face as Qin Feng took out his personal Points Card.
The disheveled old man took Qin Feng’s silver Points Card and produced a golden one. Countless silver Runes flew from the Gold Card, swarming into Qin Feng’s Points Card like a cloud of silver bees.
To the naked eye, nearly a hundred bright silver markings appeared on Qin Feng’s Points Card in quick succession.
Seven or eight breaths later, the silver Runes changed. A wisp of golden light emerged, and golden Runes began to appear one after another.
As the golden Runes appeared, Qin Feng’s silver Points Card gradually turned a light gold. Its entire body began to emit a faint, flowing, light-gold radiance, making it look exquisite.
The disheveled old man noticed the astonishment in Qin Feng’s eyes and said flatly, "Don’t be surprised. When the Total Points on your Points Card exceed ten thousand, it automatically upgrades into a Gold Card!"
A dozen breaths later, the disheveled old man casually tossed the now light-gold Points Card back to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng caught it, closed his eyes, and sent his powerful Spiritual Consciousness surging into the light-gold Points Card.
’Ten thousand thirty-three Points, and two hundred Merit Points!’
The reward for first place in the Hidden Dragon Points Competition was truly beyond generous.
’This is a fortune!’
A fervent glint flashed in his eyes. Qin Feng took a shallow breath, steadying his mind.
With this fortune, not only was his status as a Sixth-level Disciple secured, but he could also exchange for the 3rd Layer of the Mixed Element Star Technique.
’And the Star Battle Armor!’
Qin Feng looked at the golden box at his feet, which the disheveled old man had tossed aside like a piece of trash.
The Star Battle Armor was his top priority.
’But... how do I claim it?’ A troubled look flashed in his eyes.
His gaze fell on the disheveled old man, who had gone back to drinking by himself. With a thought, Qin Feng made a jar of Thousand-Year Jade Spirit Brew appear in his hand.
Qin Feng broke the seal on the jar.
CLANG!
The wine jar in the disheveled old man’s hand crashed to the ground. Mellow, fragrant wine spilled everywhere, but the old man didn’t seem to notice. His eyes were glued to the Thousand-Year Jade Spirit Brew in Qin Feng’s hand.
Qin Feng’s eyes narrowed into a smile. "Senior, I happened upon this Spirit Wine. As the saying goes, joy is better when shared. You are clearly a man who appreciates fine wine. Perhaps you would do me the honor of appraising it?"
Hearing this, the disheveled old man burst out laughing.
"Marvelous! You certainly know how to play the game, kid!"
A gray shadow flashed, and in the next instant, the disheveled old man appeared before Qin Feng. He snatched the jar, broke the seal, and a potent aroma of wine burst forth. The old man’s eyes lit up and his nose twitched. "What a rich fragrance! Such dense Spiritual Qi! Isn’t this the Monkey Wine of the Ape Race? Kid, where did you get this!" freeweɓnovel.cѳm
The disheveled old man stared at Qin Feng, his eyes gleaming.
His heart tightened. Qin Feng lowered his gaze and said, "It’s a bit embarrassing. I was passing by the Ape Clan Holy Mountain and happened upon a group of monkeys holding a feast. I waited until they were drunk and helped myself to a few jars!"
"I see!" The disheveled old man nodded, retracted his gaze, and spoke with a face full of regret.
"What a stroke of luck! Those monkeys in the Barbaric Wilderness aren’t much in a fight, but their brewing skills are on another level. I’ve heard this Thousand-Year-Old Spirit Wine is just their most common grade. They have some that are thousands of years old, even tens of thousands. A ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Wine contains countless profundities—even a Reincarnation Venerable would benefit greatly from a single sip!"
The disheveled old man downed a mouthful of the fine wine, his eyes squinting in pleasure. "Yes, that’s the taste. I once slaughtered a few monkeys in the Wilderness and got a gourd of Monkey Wine from one that held a fairly high position. But that was just the common hundred-year-old stuff!"
"This stuff of yours is a Thousand-Year-Old Spirit Wine. It’s exceptionally precious!"
The disheveled old man opened his eyes, his gaze landing on Qin Feng.
"Kid, for the sake of this fine wine, I’ll give you a hand. Taming this Star Battle Armor... well, it’s both difficult and easy!"
The disheveled old man spoke without looking at Qin Feng. "The Star Battle Armor is part of the very foundation of our All Stars Academy, and even the Star Sect. It is an incredibly precious item. From the True Disciples of the Star Sect down to the geniuses of the All Stars Academy, every disciple would be proud to obtain a set!"
"However, to this day, there are still many Inner Sect Disciples, and even some extremely powerful True Disciples who do not have a Star Battle Armor!" freewebnovёl.ƈom
"The initial form of the Star Battle Armor is Black Iron. Above that are the more powerful Bronze, Silver, and Gold forms. And above the Gold Form, there are many unknown transformations, but you don’t need to concern yourself with those for now. You only need to know that even if you one day become a Chaos Lord, a creator, or even an Endless Dominator, this set of Battle Armor will still be useful in ways you cannot even imagine!"
"Because this is a set of Innate Battle Armor that can grow with its master!"
Qin Feng listened with rapt attention, concealing the shock in his heart.
He realized he had still underestimated the value of this Star Battle Armor.
This Star Battle Armor held a great secret.
As the old man savored the wine, taking small sips, Qin Feng saw that his jar was empty and promptly presented another.
The disheveled old man’s eyes lit up. He accepted the fine wine, beaming, and said, "This Star Battle Armor has no Attributes initially. It evolves in the direction that best suits its master’s physique and Star True Power, automatically developing its own Star Mystical Meaning!"
"Kid, open the golden box now! I’ll teach you how to awaken this set of Star Battle Armor and truly refine it!"
A flicker of joy crossed Qin Feng’s face. He had made the right move.
Suppressing the delight in his eyes, Qin Feng stepped forward and, as the disheveled old man instructed, opened the golden box.
Inside was a silver-white iron sphere.
The sphere was a brilliant silver, emitting a soft luster. An invisible energy emanated from it, and for a moment, Qin Feng felt as if he were looking at a giant star.
The disheveled old man’s voice sounded in his ear. "Each Star Battle Armor has only one master in its lifetime. If the Master of Stars falls, the Battle Armor will perish with them!"
"Of course, the extent of the Star Battle Armor’s evolution is also tied to its master’s strength!"
"You’ve cultivated the All Stars Academy’s True Inheritance, the Mixed Element Star Technique, and condensed a Star Destiny Mark, right? Now, channel your Primordial Star True Power and project your Star Destiny Mark onto this Battle Armor. After that, you can try to awaken the Star Battle Armor and begin the shaping process!"
Listening to the old man’s words, Qin Feng’s gaze shifted. He followed the instructions and closed his eyes. A moment later, a blood-red glint outlined his eyes, and a crimson star shot out from his body, slamming into the iron sphere in the golden box.
Seeing this ray of starlight, which contained a boundless and malevolent Evil Qi, the disheveled old man’s eyes lit up. ’An Evil Star.’
’What a kid.’
A trace of genuine clarity appeared in the disheveled old man’s eyes. Qin Feng had piqued his interest. He said aloud, "Awakening the Star Battle Armor is the first step. The second step is resonance, which should be simple given your talent. The third step is shaping. You must pay close attention to the shaping. Everyone’s Star Battle Armor takes a different form, and you only get to shape it once. Once it’s fixed, it can never be changed, for all eternity. Many people have rashly shaped theirs into some bizarre form and lived to regret it! "
"But don’t overthink it right now. Focus on awakening the Battle Armor. This first step is crucial. Generally speaking, the stronger your Lifebound Star, the better your Battle Armor’s starting point will be. If you have a special kind of star, your Battle Armor might even possess some unique abilities..."
