Su Yu had a clear plan for his battle armor and had packed the necessary rare metals before leaving Sun-Moon.

He had a generous quota for rare metals.

Especially after winning the Soul Tournament and performing exceptionally well, Jing Hongchen had given him an extremely high allowance of rare metals as a reward. Su Yu felt that for the time being, he wouldn't need to worry about a shortage of rare materials.

Additionally, it was worth mentioning that Huo Yuhao seemed to be on the verge of breaking through to level 30 and was about to acquire his third soul ring.

The Evil Eye Tyrants in the Evil Demon Forest had a high compatibility with his Spiritual Eyes.

Unfortunately, the timing didn't align.

Su Yu was leaving tomorrow, while Huo Yuhao's breakthrough would likely take another ten days to two weeks.

Before his departure, Su Yu discussed the future development of intermediate battle armor with Xuan Ziwun.

The primary battle armor was designed for Soul King-level individuals, though Soul Ancestors could wear it as well—though it would consume more energy. Su Yu's case was unique.

Intermediate battle armor, on the other hand, was suitable for Soul Emperor and Soul Saint levels, especially boosting the strength of a Soul Saint to its maximum potential.

This was because an entire set of intermediate battle armor would be crafted based on the level of a seventh-tier soul-guided device.

Moreover, it would also incorporate the principles of soul ring synergy, allowing for a significant enhancement.

At the same time, Su Yu hoped the intermediate battle armor could be designed to allow flight and began optimizing the wearability of the armor.

The primary battle armor still required manual control to wear, but for intermediate battle armor, Su Yu wanted to achieve a summoning mechanism.

This was where Jing Hongchen's compression technology came into play.

It was the core technology behind the Skydream Battle Armor, which allowed it to be worn at any time.

Having seen the effectiveness of battle armor firsthand, Jing Hongchen didn't hesitate to pass the technology to Xuan Ziwun.

As for the reward?

Jing Hongchen was the head of the Sun-Moon Hall, and the advancements in soul-guided devices across the entire Douluo Continent, especially in the Sun and Moon Empire, reflected his contributions. Sharing some technology was no big deal—it was part of his contribution.

Not to mention that both Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen could immediately learn and master battle armor technology.

"I provide some technology, you provide the research process and results."

It was a win-win situation.

The day after testing the primary battle armor, Su Yu received a visit.

"Teacher."

"I heard the results of your primary battle armor are quite impressive?"

Kong Deming was well-informed, even learning about developments in Sun-Moon Hall from within the royal family.

"Yes, Teacher, the primary battle armor can roughly increase the strength of a Soul King by one and a half titles."

Since Su Yu couldn't evaluate the effect by conventional means, he explained it through the example of Xiao Hongchen wearing the armor.

If Xiao Hongchen equipped the primary battle armor, his combat strength would be on par with the top-tier Soul Emperors.

Furthermore, if the soul-guided cannon was upgraded to level six, his ability to fight a Soul Saint without using his martial soul would be virtually unrivaled.

Kong Deming was intrigued and started inquiring about the principles behind the primary battle armor.

Su Yu naturally didn't hesitate to share the details.

After all, the development of higher-level battle armor would rely on the teacher's technical support.

If Su Yu were to research it alone, it would take years.

Xuan Ziwun was only an eighth-level soul engineer, and many of the technologies involved in intermediate and advanced battle armor were beyond his expertise. Moreover, in Su Yu's vision, the super battle armor designed to enhance titled Douluo would require a full set of ninth-level soul-guided devices—something Xuan Ziwun couldn't accomplish independently.

"Soul ring synergy?"

Kong Deming was surprised by the direction Su Yu and his team were pursuing for the intermediate battle armor.

The knowledge of soul ring synergy beyond the Soul Saint level was something Kong Deming had shared with Su Yu just over two months ago. He hadn't expected that within such a short time, Su Yu would already be incorporating it into the actual development of soul-guided devices.

"According to our previous idea, initiating soul ring synergy in advance could be considered a secret technique. It might require high demands from the soul master, but with intermediate battle armor as assistance, in the future, even Soul Emperors equipped with it will be able to experience the effects of soul ring synergy."

Su Yu had not thought of this possibility.

Originally, his plan for the intermediate battle armor was to create it first, making it usable in the Soul Emperor stage. Once a soul master reached the Soul Saint stage, the synergy of the soul rings could trigger the true power of the intermediate battle armor.

By integrating the soul rings into the core of the armor, they would interact and provide a further boost to the battle armor's capabilities.

But now, his teacher had offered him a new perspective.

Why wait until Soul Saint to trigger it?

Soul Emperors could trigger it as well.

Soul Emperor-level soul masters could integrate their soul rings into the armor and use the core array within the battle armor to activate the soul ring synergy, thereby unleashing even greater power.

The Evil Demon Forest was located in the western part of the Sun Moon Empire, covering a vast area.

Sun-Moon, on the other hand, was in the northern part of the empire.

Five days later, Kong Deming and Su Yu arrived at the outskirts of the Evil Demon Forest.

During these five days, they would stop and rest for several hours each day.

During these rest periods, Su Yu took the opportunity to craft his primary battle armor.

This was the first time Kong Deming had witnessed the entire process of making a primary battle armor.

Although it was Su Yu's first time crafting a fifth-tier soul-guided device, he made no mistakes, delivering a flawless performance.

The only issue was that, unlike Xuan Ziwun, Su Yu couldn't continuously craft an entire set of primary battle armor in one go.

Fortunately, time was enough. Su Yu completed all the parts of the primary battle armor over the five days, using the breaks to finish each component.

"Indeed, battle armor made entirely by oneself is the most suitable."

Although the first primary battle armor Su Yu made was modeled on him, it had a wide range of adaptability. However, it didn't provide a significant increase in his specific strengths.

"Just your soul power fluctuations alone are already at the Soul Emperor level."

Su Yu was an ultimate martial soul, with soul power that far exceeded that of ordinary soul masters. Moreover, his soul power was of the life attribute, which meant it was deeper and more abundant than usual.

With the enhancement of the battle armor, his soul power fluctuations now reached the Soul Emperor level.

Battle armor was essentially a soul-guided device set that matched the soul master's level, and a full set of fourteen soul-guided devices would consume an immense amount of energy.

However, with the battle armor equipped, while the soul master could unleash even stronger power, their stamina was not affected.

Without the battle armor, fighting at the level of a Soul Ancestor would mean exhausting the energy relatively quickly, but with the battle armor, a Soul King or even Soul Emperor-level combat could be sustained without losing energy over time!

This was not only because the battle armor enhanced the soul master's recovery rate and reduced consumption through its overall operation, but also because the armor itself could expand the soul master's soul power.

The battle armor fused with the soul master.

The armor itself became a container for soul power.

The perceived difference in endurance was because the other party was a true Soul Emperor, fighting at the level corresponding to their realm, which naturally allowed them to maintain their energy for a longer time.

Wearing the battle armor, Su Yu's strength was enough to reach the Soul Emperor level.

"Let's go. Our task is to quickly hunt down a ten-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant without alerting the Evil Emperor and absorb its soul ring.

There are quite a few ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the Evil Eye Tyrant's tribe, so it's definitely possible."

Su Yu felt a pang of regret.

Unfortunately, the soul ring storage soul-guided device hadn't been developed by Xuan Ziwun yet.

Otherwise, hunting a ten-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant would be much easier and safer.
