"Woo-hoo!"
"Wow!"
"Awesome!"
The audience used their own ways to express their approval of this match.
The final energy clash scene was completely at the Titled Douluo-level scale, truly stirring people's hearts and minds.
Battle Armor!
BATTLE ARMOR!!!
At this moment, the audience greatly desired the Battle Armor technology displayed by the Sun Moon Imperial Team.
Of course, there were also some discordant voices.
Who knows who started it, saying it was unfair.
"Battle Armor is clearly the Body Sect's technology. How come the Sun Moon Imperial Team got it, but Shrek didn't? And as far as I know, none of the three Douluo nations should have this technology, right?"
This accusatory question instantly silenced the surrounding people.
Most of the audience from the three Douluo nations chose to shut their mouths and not echo the sentiment.
Do you have a death wish?
Just the other day, there were rumors that the Sun Moon Empire wanted to detain all these tournament participants. Now you're still questioning the neutral party that stepped forward to provide guarantees? Don't you want to go home?
But there were always some people who loved to stir up trouble without fearing the consequences.
"Yeah, it's unfair!"
"Talking about neutrality, but they've actually already sided with the Sun Moon Empire."
"Hmph, I heard the Holy Spirit Cult used to be allies of the Sun Moon Imperial family. The Body Sect destroyed the Holy Spirit Cult and is now cooperating with Sun Moon. Isn't this competing for favor?"
"..."
All sorts of discussions gradually grew louder.
They even grew bold enough to shout out loudly and question Su Ming directly when he stepped onto the arena, preparing to demonstrate the standards for an eighth-rank blacksmith.
"You have some nerve!" His gaze was cold and severe as he scanned the entire venue.
"Whether my Body Sect favors any particular side does not require anyone's judgment."
Neutral is neutral.
Not killing the old emperor early, urging Xu Tianran to succeed to the throne, and launching a war was already the greatest demonstration of the Body Sect's neutrality.
Otherwise, for the sake of harvesting faith, Su Ming should have unified the continent earlier, not given the Blacksmith Association's guarantee and slapped the Sun Moon Imperial family twice in the face after they released strong signals.
"Sometimes, look more for your own reasons. Did you three Douluo nations work hard? Did Shrek work hard? I should have demonstrated Battle Armor before. Did you develop it? Weren't you just taking the easy route by developing the Spirit Artifact field?"
Su Ming sneered.
The development of the Spirit Artifact field was also good because, after the three Douluo nations were overrun, this part of the research merged with the Sun Moon Empire's research, leading to Three-Word Battle Armor.
Battle Armor typically has eleven components. But besides the standard components, there are additional parts. In the Douluo 3 era, some Battle Armor masters would forge specialized Battle Armor weapons, also integrated with the Battle Armor and resonating with the Martial Soul simultaneously. Additionally, the wings of Three-Word Battle Armor extend from the chest armor to the back, but some Battle Armor masters prefer to separate them to serve more functions.
"Before I was even born, the Sun Moon Empire already had research projects on human-shaped spirit tools. What were you three Douluo nations doing then?"
"Don't say I'm biased. Even if I favored the Mingde Hall, what's the problem? I was born into the Su family of the Sun Moon Empire, a Spirit Engineer family of the Sun Moon Empire. My great-grandfather once served as a researcher in the Mingde Hall. My grandfather, my parents are all currently researching in the Mingde Hall. Why shouldn't I provide some assistance?"
Even before Battle Armor, Jing Hongchen could independently create a full set of Level Six spirit tool-level armor, specially designed for Meng Hongchen.
The Battle Armor of the current Sun Moon Imperial Team was forged based on his technology.
Xiao Hongchen was self-taught, understanding this set of logic and writing the content himself.
Meng Hongchen's Battle Armor also had many functions, specially designed and modified for her by Jing Hongchen.
With a few sentences, Su Ming left those questioning him speechless.
Not to mention he hadn't helped; even if he had, these people had no right to question him.
"Eighth-rank blacksmith. I've also stated the standards. To show the distinction during the demonstration for you, I chose the Soul Refinement of a three-in-one Spirit Alloy and the Soul Refinement of a nine-in-one alloy."
"Today, I originally prepared a surprise to show you the real difference between an eighth-rank Sacred Blacksmith and a seventh-rank Sacred Blacksmith."
"I planned to randomly select an audience member and use their Martial Soul and Spirit Skills as a template to custom-forge a piece of Soul Refined metal."
"I originally intended to choose randomly. Now, I plan to select one of the Mingde Hall's Level Nine Spirit Engineers and forge Soul Refined metal for him."
After Su Ming's words, the entire venue fell silent.
This...
All the spectators glared angrily at those troublemakers.
Look what you've done!
Give me back my Soul Refined metal!
"That could have been the peak Soul Refined metal!"
"Bastards!"
The ones who had shouted the loudest just moments ago were immediately confronted in person.
This wasn't the internet; this was the tournament venue.
Ignoring the audience's reactions, Su Ming had already begun selecting a Level Nine Spirit Engineer.
This was actually a spur-of-the-moment decision, meant to teach a lesson to those who stirred up trouble.
In the future, anyone who dared to stir up trouble about the Body Sect and the Blacksmith Association would face even harsher consequences from him.
This concerned his image and the efficiency of harvesting faith.
Once discovered, no leniency!
Spur-of-the-moment decision to custom-forge Soul Refined metal for someone naturally needed to be meaningful, so he still chose to forge for a Level Nine Spirit Engineer.
Forging for them would accelerate the Mingde Hall's research on Spirit Metal, indirectly promoting development.
As for the imbalance among the four empires, Su Ming didn't care anymore.
It was already imbalanced.
In a few years, it would be one big family. The Mingde Hall's research achievements would be the achievements of the entire Spirit Master world.
As for his selection method, it was purely random.
He labeled the names of various Level Nine Spirit Engineers with different elements in the air, then released an extremely unstable element pointer guided by chaotic force to spin randomly.
Finally, the pointer stopped on a familiar name — Ye Yulin.
Star Sky Douluo Ye Yulin. His famous spirit tool was the Sun Moon Divine Needle. Named after the sun and moon, showing the recognition of his spirit tool.
This was not only a Level Nine spirit tool he developed himself with distinct features, but it was also occasionally released to the outside world, giving him high recognition among Level Nine Spirit Engineers.
Seeing the result, Su Ming was also satisfied.
At least it gave a research-oriented Spirit Engineer.
Good. Although Ye Yulin had decent combat power, he was a genuine research-oriented Spirit Engineer.
Why were Sun Moon Divine Needles released to the outside?
Because he wasn't afraid of others using his spirit tools against him; his Sun Moon Divine Needle was constantly being updated and iterated.
He even often had breakthrough progress.
Forging a piece of Soul Refined metal for him wouldn't waste this labor of love either.
Su Ming put away the nine types of rare metals originally prepared on the forging table into his storage spirit tool and took out a piece of meteorite iron, a piece of Star Soul Iron, a piece of Heavy Silver, and a piece of Magic Silver.
Only after Ye Yulin, who was notified he'd won the grand prize, rushed to the scene did Su Ming have a private conversation with him. After understanding his Martial Soul abilities, Spirit Skill combinations, and his desired development direction, Su Ming selected five other types of rare metals.
Primordial Spirit Iron.
Cold Yin Iron.
Blazing Sun Iron.
Titanium Crystal.
Blue Pregnancy Copper.
