Looking at the young man before them who had retracted his battle armor, the teachers somewhat understood why Oscar had ignored his soul power cultivation, which was about to break through the level forty bottleneck, and insisted on making the battle armor first.
Although the teachers had already seen Oscar summon his battle armor when all the students set off together from the small village outside Soto City and flew toward Heaven Dou City, the battle armor at that time consisted of only two components.
The teachers' discerning eyes allowed them to see what was different about the battle armor and the necessity of developing it, but how could the sense of shock brought by the appearance and disappearance of battle armor in component form possibly compare with the complete version of the battle armor?
Among all the teachers present, Shao Xin was the most enthusiastic about the battle armor worn by this personal disciple of his. Just like when he first came into contact with soul tools, Shao Xin, as a food-type soul master, had also been the most eager to throw himself into the research and production of soul tools.
That urgent pursuit of combat power capable of protecting himself made Shao Xin the first among all the teachers to produce a complete mecha. From that time onward, Shao Xin possessed the strength to fight battle soul masters of the same level.
However, Shao Xin had to admit that mechas had their inherent flaws. Improvements in soul tool manufacturing technology could make mechas powerful, but this kind of power had no way to change the fact that mechas, as external objects, could not make up for the inherent frailty of food-type or support-type soul masters themselves.
When leaving Soto City, Oscar had shown everyone a possibility, soul tools could become one with a soul master and coexist as one just like a martial soul, and could become an innate ability of a soul master just like a martial soul rather than being limited to the stage of an external object.
That possibility was called battle armor, and now Oscar had turned this possibility into reality, displaying it completely before the teachers.
"Little Ao, could you···"
"Teacher, regarding the battle armor, I'll carefully organize the information, and then upload it to the virtual library(a derivative space of the virtual combat room controlled by Seiwa, entered through a neural-interface soul tool, and no different from a real library)."
Shao Xin and Oscar spoke almost at the same time, clearly, what the two wanted to express overlapped somewhat, and in the end only Oscar fully said what he wanted to say.
"Congratulations, Little Ao." As Oscar's teacher, although he could only provide some guidance on the use of food-type martial souls, Shao Xin genuinely cared about his disciple, and was willing to cheer for every achievement Oscar made.
A gentle smile appeared on Oscar's handsome face, and after bowing once again to the six teachers standing there, Oscar said in a slightly apologetic tone:"Although I'm very sorry for disturbing all the teachers' rest, since I've already disturbed you now, I might as well make my request clear all at once.
My soul power level has already reached level forty, is there any teacher willing to accompany me on a trip to a soul beast forest?"
"Hey, kid, I thought you'd completely given up on soul power cultivation during this period, I didn't expect you'd already broken through without making a sound."
What Oscar said was somewhat beyond the expectations of the teachers present, a person's energy was limited, and they truly had not expected that Oscar could also manage to break through his soul power bottleneck while devoting himself fully to completing the battle armor.
"Don't be like that, teachers, I know very well that soul power is the foundation of a soul master, in fact, I already completed the breakthrough three weeks ago.
After all, Oscar's soul power level has already reached level thirty-eight hasn't it. I just didn't want to interrupt the critical stage of making the battle armor, that's all, soul rings are very important, but sometimes our need for them isn't that urgent, this won't affect the accumulation of soul power."
"Makes sense," Flender nodded, then continued"Since your battle armor can already provide combat power, then let's treat this soul ring acquisition operation as a practical combat test. There's nothing major going on at the academy, so we teachers plus Grandmaster will go with you.
As for the other little monsters, Oscar and Rongrong need to make the trip, their need for battle armor is the most urgent, Mubai has just digested the benefits of absorbing a soul ring above his level and broken through to level forty-two, so he can come along and relax too.
As for the others, let them continue working hard at the academy, especially Hongjun, that kid is far too lazy, it's been so long and he's actually still at level thirty-three."
"Uh, Dean, if Rongrong is going too, should we wait a little longer, I think she should be about to break through to level thirty as well right."
"No need, Rongrong has been meditating very diligently during this period, her accumulated soul power should already be enough to break through to level thirty, the only reason she still hasn't broken through is that she's lacking an opportunity.
There's not much point in staying in the mimicry training area any longer, taking a trip to a soul beast forest is actually more likely to help her find that opportunity.
The destination this time will still be Sunset Forest, and we'll set the time for the day after tomorrow, over these two days you can think about what kind of soul beast you want, and make some preparations while you're at it. I've heard Wuji mention your complaints, I have to say, that's an excellent combat philosophy."
"Okay, Dean, do you need me to notify my brother and the others?"
"No need, I'll go tell them myself."
The conversation in the academy woods ended there, and a soul ring acquisition operation that was exceptionally serious for the vast majority of commoner soul masters was turned into a practical battle armor test operation in just a few words.
After returning to the dormitory, Oscar threw himself directly onto the comfortable and spacious sofa, and while he was at it hugged Kaon, who happened to be dozing in the room, comfortably burying his face in the soft fur on Kaon's body.
As for Flender's instruction to prepare in advance, Oscar said he had done so long ago.
Since he had already realized while helping Zhu Zhuqing obtain a soul ring that he was somewhat underprepared when facing certain soul beasts, how could Oscar possibly not hurry to stock his storage belt with enough tools to deal with all kinds of soul beasts.
Having finally gotten out of his laboratory confinement, Oscar planned to have a good rest for two days. Of course, it wasn't as though there was nothing he needed to think about, at the very least, he still had to carefully consider exactly what kind of soul beast to choose.
The type of soul beast was easy enough to determine, the key was the soul beast's cultivation age, this was a matter concerning his own life, and Oscar had no desire to gamble on luck based solely on conjecture, he needed concrete experimental data.
Originally, according to Oscar's idea, he wanted to make the kind of soul tool used by the Illustrious Virtue Hall in Douluo II for full-body examinations, but after looking through the materials in the Omniscient Library, Oscar had no choice but to give up on this idea.
