Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 103 Battle Armor Course
"Uh..." Long Chen was so startled that he almost jumped up from his chair. He quickly waved his hands and put on a fawning smile. "No, no, no, Brother Lu, I was talking about myself. I'm a pervert, and I'm proud of it!"

But inwardly, a lament began to rage:

Brother Lu's mental strength is terrifying! He can hear such a soft-spoken complaint. He's not human!

Just as Long Chen was so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into the ground, Wu Changkong, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up on the podium:

"Alright, let's begin the lesson."

The entire venue fell silent in an instant. Wu Changkong's gaze swept across the room, lingering for a moment on Lu Jun and Gu Yuena, before sweeping over Tang Wulin and the other two.

He raised his hand and lightly tapped the soul guidance screen on the podium with his fingertip.

A complex, three-dimensional armor structure, shimmering with a cold metallic luster, was instantly projected into the air in the center of the classroom. Every component was exquisitely detailed and radiated a chilling energy fluctuation.

"Today's lesson is..."

"Battle Armor".

These two words, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up a tidal wave in the hearts of all the students, especially Tang Wulin.

Battle armor!

Tang Wulin's heart skipped a beat, his eyes fixed on the magnificent armor projection floating in the air, and his breathing became involuntarily rapid.

He finally understood why even geniuses like Lu Jun and Gu Yuena, who were usually elusive, would show up in the classroom on time today.

This lesson is of paramount importance; it is one of the keys to the pinnacle of Soul Masters!

The entire classroom fell silent; you could hear a pin drop. The only sounds were the students' eager and focused breathing.

"Battle Armor is not just a simple suit of armor." Wu Changkong's gaze swept over the young faces below, filled with a thirst for knowledge. "It is the most perfect fusion and extension of a Soul Master's spirit, Soul Power, Martial Soul, and Soul Guidance Technology. It is an indispensable stepping stone to the pinnacle of Soul Masters and one of the important indicators for measuring a Soul Master's ultimate achievement."

"The difference in strength between a Soul Master with Battle Armor and one without Battle Armor is like an insurmountable chasm."

"A tailor-made, perfectly fitting battle armor can enhance a Soul Master's combat power several times, or even dozens of times. It is not only a defensive barrier, but also a sharp weapon for offense, and a manifestation of the Soul Master's will."

"Moreover, battle armor can bring the power of a Soul Master's Martial Soul to its extreme. A Soul King with a one-word battle armor can fight against a level 70 Soul Saint without battle armor."

"Battle armor requires the user to have a certain amount of soul power and mental strength. Every battle armor master is highly regarded in the soul master world. Any battle armor master is more than 20 levels stronger than a soul master of the same level."

"For example, if a one-word battle armor master is already at the fifth ring, wearing battle armor will make them equivalent to a seventh ring master. A two-word battle armor master who is a Soul Emperor will be equivalent to an eighth ring master. A three-word battle armor master who is a Soul Douluo will be equivalent to a ninth ring master. And a four-word battle armor master who is a Title Douluo will be equivalent to a Limit Douluo."

His words carried an unquestionable authority, deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts, especially for Tang Wulin, as if opening a door to a completely new realm.

"To possess truly powerful battle armor, one cannot simply rely on purchasing it or having it made by others." Wu Changkong changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of deeper meaning. "According to the core philosophy of Shrek Academy, the oldest soul master academy on the continent, truly promising and ambitious soul masters will learn and master a second profession in advance."

"Mecha manufacturing, mecha design, forging." He clearly uttered these three words, and the corresponding images switched on the projector.

"These three elements are the foundation for building battle armor and even more powerful mechs. Mastering them will not only allow you to deeply understand the construction principles and energy operation of battle armor, but also enable you to personally participate in and even lead the manufacturing process of your own battle armor in the future."

Wu Changkong's voice was resolute, carrying an undeniable power:

"I can tell you definitively that the strongest mechs and the strongest battle armor in the world must be designed, forged, and manufactured by their users themselves, because only you truly understand your martial spirit, your soul power characteristics, and your fighting style."

"If you truly wish to stand at the pinnacle of the continent's Soul Masters, looking down upon all living beings," a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, "then from this moment forward, you must strive even harder, choose a suitable second profession, dedicate yourselves to it, and lay a solid foundation for your path to the top." His gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, fell upon Lu Jun and Gu Yuena.
"Just like our classmates Lu Jun and Gu Yuena, they have already taken the lead, choosing their second careers in advance and putting in tremendous effort to lay a solid foundation for their future path in battle armor."

The classroom was immediately filled with suppressed gasps of amazement and gasps of sudden realization.

Many students looked at Lu Jun and Gu Yuena with not only admiration but also deep respect and understanding.

It turns out that their strength was not accidental, but rather a result of a long-planned path.

Tang Wulin clenched his fists, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Forging—that was the path he chose.

Teacher Wu's words were like a shot of adrenaline for him.

He is determined to become the best blacksmith and forge his own battle armor.

Wu Changkong continued his lecture for a full forty minutes.

The course then concluded in an atmosphere of heightened fighting spirit.

The students continued their discussion with great enthusiasm, and one by one they got up and left.

Wu Changkong did not leave the podium immediately.

After most of the students left the classroom, his gaze turned to Lu Jun, who was about to get up.

"Lu Jun".

“Teacher Wu.” Lu Jun stopped what she was doing and looked at him calmly.

"The academy has a rule that each class in every grade has a competition system. This is good for the students and can also motivate them," Wu Changkong said succinctly. "Class One enjoys the best resources, and naturally, it also bears the greatest challenges."

“Students from other classes who have the ability to defeat Class One have the opportunity to take their place.”

He paused for a moment, his gaze fixed on Lu Jun:

"Recently, quite a few students who consider themselves quite capable have expressed their desire to challenge you through various channels. The number is... not small."

"As your homeroom teacher, I need to ask your opinion. Do you accept these challenges?"

Lu Jun shook his head decisively without any hesitation:
"No."

Are you kidding me?
He now wishes he could divide his time into eight parts and use it as much as possible.

Every minute and second of his cultivation time was incredibly precious.

To deal with those challengers whose strength is unknown, or who may just be incited to test or wear him down.
What a waste of life.

Instead of wasting that time, why not forge another piece of metal, cultivate more, and see if you can condense a soul core? Wouldn't that be better?
