Chapter 1310: Shrek Against the Heavenly Kings

There was no doubt that this, too, was a set of three-word battle armor due to the presence of the domain.

Ye Xinglan standing by Yuanne Yehui’s side also had a domain shimmering underneath her feet. Her soul ring was a faint golden color with a serrated border. Every serration was akin to a sharp sword while the internal circle was tiny. Rather than calling it serrated, it was actually more like a wheel of swords.

Her battle armor was just like a reflection of a dazzling starry sky. Its body seemed to be black in color but it was a peculiar, translucent black. There was starlight shimmering in that night sky-like black battle armor of hers. It was quite odd that these stars seemed to be moving and lingered about her armor continuously.

It was another set of three-word battle armor.

A wisp of shock flashed past the Smiley Face Douluo’s eyes when he saw the battle armor on their bodies. As an experienced three-word battle armor master, he definitely had the deepest understanding of battle armor out of all the people there.

Even battle armors of the same rank could have different levels. Every battle armor master was aware of this, but not all of them were able to determine the strength of battle armor after just one glance.

The Smiley Face Douluo was capable of doing so. This was because he had seen so many battle armors in his lifetime.

He could tell that Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui’s two suits of three-word battle armor were extraordinary. Yuanen Yehui’s battle armor appeared simple but the domain at her feet was magnificent. Generally, a domain only had one color. The presence of two colors could very possibly represent two domains. Surely this suit of battle armor could not be forged so easily? What sort of materials with what unusual attributes were used in order to withstand the power of two domains?

On the other hand, the domain of Ye Xinglan’s battle armor appeared simple but one would discover under close inspection that the soul ring underneath her feet was undergoing some intriguing changes as her battle armor shimmered with starlight. It was as if the domain and battle armor formed a tiny, little world.

A plane formation domain was one of the features of four-word battle armor. Though Ye Xinglan’s three-word battle armor had not reached that level, it was already equipped with a certain amount of its preliminary features. The quality of the battle armor’s material was definitely even more extraordinary!

The three-word battle armor masters, the Tiger King Dai Yueyan, the Fox King Su Mu and also the Pagoda King Ye Zhi on the opposite side, paled in comparison. It was as if only Ye Zhi’s battle armor could measure up to Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui and only with great effort. Even the crown prince Dai Yueyan’s battle armor was made of lower quality material.

‘Good lord. There’s certainly a genius blacksmith behind these little Shrek Seven Monsters here. Could it be that their battle armors are forged by the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua personally?’

The strength of a suit of battle armor was determined by its design and making. However, the most crucial factor was the quality of its material. Better material would ensure that the battle armor could withstand a more powerful core circuit as it was easier to engrave the core circuit onto the armor, resulting in more functionality.

Other than Ye Xinglan, the other four Shrek Monsters appeared to be a little strange. This was because their battle armor was not complete yet.

Yue Zhengyu had pauldrons, a cuirass and a helmet. His arms were covered in rerebraces and vambraces, but there was no armor on his legs. The wings of two-word battle armor were missing from his back.

His armor that had already taken form was white with golden striations. It complemented his incredible style very well. The white color of the battle armor was enhanced by the golden halo reflected on its surface. It had a magnificent texture, but it appeared a little awkward because it was not a complete set yet.

Xu Lizhi’s battle armor was also unfinished. He was missing his left rerebrace, leg armor and helmet. He was lacking more than the others. The armor that he had already owned was yellow in color. It appeared slightly more complicated compared to the Guardian Star battle armor that was used as its foundation.

Other than Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui, Xu Xiaoyan had the most complete set of battle armor. She was only missing her left rerebrace while the rest was all complete. All over her body, the armor appeared to be translucent with shimmering starlights. It was only lacking the depth found in Ye Xinglan’s battle armor. On the other hand, the Star Staff martial soul in her hand seemed to have completely merged with the battle armor on her body. It made Xu Xiaoyan appear blurry. It was as if she did not belong to this world but to a part of the starlit sky.

On the other hand, it appeared as though Xie Xie, standing at the back, was not clad in any battle armor at all. There were only seven soul rings shimmering on his body. However, one would discover under close inspection that he had a layer of partly visible and partly concealed battle armor existing in a phantom state. Xie Xie’s body had also begun to turn illusory.

Seven soul rings arose from underneath each of the six Shrek Monsters’ feet, most of them being black in colour.

Just by judging from the surface, the Heavenly Kings Clan clearly had a more fearsome countenance. Three out of their six team members had already achieved eight-ringed Soul Douluo rank, while there was no eight-ringed soul master on Shrek Academy’s side. There was a large disparity between their cultivation bases.

Then judging by their battle armors, there were three three-word battle armor masters versus two three-word battle armor masters. The remaining battle armors on Shrek Academy’s side were all incomplete sets. When compared to the opponents’ full suits of battle armor, they appeared to be slightly inharmonious. Thus, it seemed like the Heavenly Kings Clan had an obvious upper hand judging from the look of it.

Even so, was that really the case?

In the eyes of the discerning, it was quite different. This included the people from the Heavenly Kings Clan.

Even though the battle armor of the six Shrek Monsters appeared to be slightly uneven, every single one of them was clad in three-word battle armor.

Perhaps, their battle armor was not complete and the amplification effect was less effective than the two-word battle armor, but three-word armor was equipped with some features that were not found in two-word armor. Additionally, the Shrek Monsters’ condition signified that they would become three-word battle armor masters officially in the near future. On the other side, there were still three two-word battle armor masters who had yet to begin making their three-word battle armor from the Heavenly God Clan.

A few years ago, their cultivation base and battle armors surpassed the Shrek Seven Monsters by a long way when they encountered each other in Star Luo’s young soul masters competition. However, within a few short years, it seemed that the other side had made a great leap that almost surpassed them.

Advancing from six-ringed to seven ringed was a line of demarcation for soul masters. After reaching a seven-ringed cultivation base, the quality of one’s martial soul, battle armor and soul skills occupied a major portion of one’s ability. The actual difference between a seven-ringed and an eight-ringed cultivation base would depend on the individual’s condition.

It took time to describe the entire process, but it had only taken a few seconds. Both sides brandished their stage poses to attract the audience’s attention. The crowd held its breath as they stared at the twelve competitors inside the gymnasium. A great battle was about to begin.

A low tiger’s roar echoed through the entire scene as Dai Yueyan let out a great roar into the sky. A gigantic glowing tiger’s head immediately emerged from the three-word battle armor on his chest and a fierce gale was conjured soon after. Cloud obeys the dragon, wind obeys the tiger. The wind aided the momentum of the tiger as Dai Yueyan took great strides and dashed toward the Shrek Monsters’ side.

As he dashed to them, halos spread out from underneath his feet. It was not Dai Yueyan’s ability, as it actually came from the Fox King Su Mu standing behind his back. He was the true master-control soul master of the Heavenly Kings Clan.

The Debilitating Halo and Soul Power Stripping Halo were unleashed simultaneously and spread toward the Shrek Six Monsters’ direction rapidly.

On the other hand, Ye Zhi raised his right hand as he stood behind Su Mu. The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda emerged with a dazzling radiance. Streams of light shot out akin to electricity and landed on each of his companions separately. Dai Yueyan, dashing at the forefront, was especially affected. His body was infused with six streams of light, and his aura swelled up fiercely. It was a terrifying aura, like that of a Title Douluo-ranked three-word battle armor master. With the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda’s amplification, Dai Yueyan was powerful enough to fight a Title Douluo head-on and still not be at a disadvantage.
