Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

The Rhinoceros Plate Armor, though called plate armor, is actually leather armor. However, not all leather armor is the same; this plate armor, made from the rhinoceros hide of the Rhinoceros, is much harder than some metal plate armor made from rare metals.

What is the biggest disadvantage of leather armor compared to metal plate armor? Insufficient defense. And what is the biggest disadvantage of metal plate armor compared to leather armor? Restricted movement.

If you were presented with a set of leather armor that provides both protection and a set of ordinary metal plate armor, which would you choose? Long You's answer was to choose the leather armor.

The Rhino Plate Armor Soul Bone Skill, Rhino Plate Armor, allows you to have the best of both worlds. In fact, the defensive power of the Rhino Plate Armor is not only reflected in the hardness of the rhino hide, but also in its automatically generated defensive force field.

Once the Soul Bone skill is activated, a magical defensive force field will automatically generate in front of Long You the moment the Barbarian Rhino Plate Armor covers his entire body. It will not affect Long You's vision or movement, but all attacks that want to strike Long You from the front will be deflected from their original direction by that force field.

As for whether it can deviate from the target, that is the result of the confrontation between the attack strength and the defensive field strength. Because the soul bone has an age of 60,000 years, Long You is actually unable to activate the full defensive field at present, which shows that the defensive limit of the Barbarian Rhino Plate Armor is extremely high.

After using Beibei as a test subject to assess the defensive capabilities and soul power consumption rate of the Rhino Plate Armor, Long You was delighted to discover that he could uninstall the Soul Skill Shield of Glory.

Long You initially used the Soul Skill "Shield of Glory" as a life-saving ability. However, as Long You's strength improved and his Soul Master level increased, the Soul Skill "Shield of Glory" rarely had the opportunity to be used anymore.

If Long You hadn't been cautious enough to consider the possibility of facing situations where the soul tool might become unusable, he would have already cleaned up this soul skill and replaced it with a more powerful control or attack soul skill.

Now that he has a Soul Bone skill as a foundation, Long You no longer needs to keep the Soul Skill Shield of Glory. However, he has no idea what Soul Skill to add to fill the vacant Soul Skill slot that would have been filled by Shield of Glory.

The next day, his biological clock mercilessly dragged Long You out of bed. Since awakening his martial soul consciousness three months ago, Long You had begun to learn the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques.

Long You could practice all of the Tang Clan's unique skills, such as the Mysterious Jade Hand, Crane Control and Dragon Capture, and Ghost Shadow Mystery, within the Pearl of Imagination, without needing to use his daytime. The only exception was the Purple Demon Eye, which required absorbing the Eastern Purple Qi to practice. Even with the Book of Witness's numerous deductions, Long You couldn't escape the fate of having to get up before dawn.

Sighing, Long You crawled out of his warm bed, the sudden drop in temperature outside making him want to crawl back under the covers. But seeing that his roommate Bei Bei was already getting dressed, Long You could only wander towards the portable toilet he had installed in the dormitory.

Practice Purple Demon Eye, morning run, breakfast. As usual, Bei Bei and Tang Ya headed towards the Martial Soul Department's teaching building, while Long You stepped onto the anti-gravity soul-guided skateboard, crossed Shrek Square, and took a shortcut across the Sea God Lake towards the Soul-Guiding Department's teaching building.

Having absorbed the Plate Armor Rhinoceros Soul Bone, Long You's physical attributes have reached the required level. However, he still needs some time to train in order to finely control his newly increased power. Therefore, Long You did not plan to start completing his first rare metal spirit forging right now.

During the freshman competition, Du Weilun was too rough when he was inspecting the various soul tools stored in Long You's storage soul tool device, which caused many soul tools that required careful maintenance to be damaged and malfunction.

Although Du Weilun later compensated Long You with a staggering 150,000 gold soul coins, gold soul coins could not ultimately be used as soul tools, and Long You still needed to repair all the damaged soul tools one by one.

This process of repairing the soul tool is not only a review and sublimation of Long You's own skills, but also a means for Long You to effectively control his surging physical power.

Over the next week, Long You repaired thirteen damaged soul tools and remade the remaining ones that were beyond repair. Incidentally, Long You and Bei Bei also went to Shrek City and participated in a treasure-appreciation event at the Treasure Pavilion.

It must be said that Shrek Academy has a profound foundation; even at this treasure appreciation event, which is only for the core disciples of the outer academy, there are countless good things. Various rare metals, high-level soul tools, pills, blueprints for powerful soul tools, and even soul bones have appeared at the exhibition.

However, having many good things doesn't necessarily mean having a lot of gains. Originally, Long You thought that with his credit limit and the 50% off coupons given to him by Qian Duoduo, he should at least be considered moderately wealthy. But after entering the venue, Long You discovered that he was far from being out of poverty.

Anything that caught his eye could practically empty his wallet. Fortunately, the discount card Qian Duoduo gave him was valid indefinitely, so Long You simply stopped looking at other things while he was so poor and went straight to the various mid-to-high-level soul tool design blueprints at the treasure appreciation event.

Considering the complexity of mid-to-high-level soul tool design blueprints, the Treasure Appreciation Club does not prevent people from viewing them across the counter. Of course, it is not allowed if you stand there looking at them or take notes while looking at them.

But is Long You the kind of person who needs to use a pen to record soul tool blueprints? If Long You wanted to record something, couldn't he just call out to Xiao Yan and that would be enough!

Without hesitation, Long You activated the simulated soul tool on his body, concealing both the glow of his soul ring and the fluctuations of his soul power, and began his shopping spree at the treasure appreciation event.

Long You spent about five minutes at each display case for soul tool blueprints, appearing to be a student quite interested in soul tools. After reading the introduction to the blueprint, he looked at the actual blueprint without any apparent abnormality.

As evening fell, Long You encountered Bei Bei and Tang Ya again at the exit of Duobao Pavilion, the two people he had separated from before.

From Tang Ya's eyes, Long You saw lingering affection and reluctance. This was only natural; gold and jade were dazzling, and besides, the things at the treasure appreciation event could hardly be described as gold and jade.

However, the emotions revealed in Beibei's eyes puzzled Longyou. What was the meaning behind the five parts joy, three parts sorrow, and two parts emotion?

If you don't understand, just ask. As long as Beibei can tell you, Longyou believes she won't hide anything from him.

"Xiao You, your senior brother is broke. I'm afraid you'll have to help me with my living expenses for the next few years."

"???"
