Effects of New Alchemy Props

Xu Xiaoyan lost to Su Mu, the Fox King of Monster Academy, in the individual competition. She had new meditation methods and alchemy tools, but she hadn't had enough time to master them, and her opponent was a Soul King with a complete battle armor. Xu Xiaoyan's defeat was not unfair.

She knew she wasn't very good at individual battles, so she didn't feel too disappointed after losing. She still enjoyed himself every day.

Le Zhengyu, on the other hand, didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky, but he met Yuan En Yehui, Xie Xie, and Ye Xinglan from Shrek Academy one after another. However, thanks to the boost of the Holy Sword and his recent breakthrough to the fifth ring, he won easily.

This result was a huge blow to Shrek Academy. They knew that Le Zhengyu was powerful when he was at their academy, but they never expected him to beat them so easily.

Cai Yue'er frowned slightly as she watched Le Zhengyu bow to the audience on the field. "I didn't expect him to reach this level in just over three months. It seems he made a better choice."

Wu Zhangkong looked unhappy. His students had been defeated by a traitor from Shrek Academy, and he couldn't accept it.

He said coldly, "There's something wrong with that sword. I'm going to find out what it is."

He wasn't making excuses for his students. He really felt that there was something unusual about that sword. Le Zhengyu's aura had changed drastically before and after he summoned the Holy Sword.

Cai Yue'er shook her head slightly and said, "Don't bother. Do you think he'll tell you anything?"

Wu Zhangkong sat back down and said reluctantly, "He didn't have such a weapon when he was at Shrek Academy."

Cai Yue'er said, "Of course I know that. I can see more than you can. If I'm not mistaken, that sword has an amplification effect similar to a battle armor. The Holy Angel Family must have invested a lot in this heir."

She had guessed that the Holy Sword might be the secret weapon of the Holy Angel Family ever since she saw Le Zhengyu use it for the first time.

Wu Zhangkong said, "Ms. Cai, I don't think it's just because of the Holy Angel Family. The mirror that Xu Xiaoyan used before also had some similar functions."

Cai Yue'er hadn't noticed that until Wu Zhangkong mentioned Xu Xiaoyan. Unlike Le Zhengyu, Xu Xiaoyan was a long-range attacker, and the performance of his alchemy tools was less obvious.

She frowned slightly and said, "Could it be that Sun Moon academy has made a new breakthrough in battle armor? We should talk to these two former students."

Shrek Academy naturally wanted to get their hands on the new technologies that had appeared. A single item that could achieve the effect of a battle armor was a big deal for soul masters.

They couldn't believe that an unknown item could have the same effect as more than a dozen parts of a battle armor, until they met Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan.

They didn't know if this kind of item could have the same defensive effect as the Battle Armour, but it was clear that it saved a lot of rare materials compared to the Battle Armour. This had a great impact on Cai Yue'er and Wu Zhangkong.

But before they could approach Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan, they had to find out from their students if the Holy Sword was what they thought it was.

Returning to the hotel and looking at Yuan En Ye Hui, Xie Xie and Ye Xinglan who were relatively depressed, Cai Yue'er said seriously, "You can't bear this little blow. How can you become the Seven Shrek Monsters in the future?"

Xie Xie lowered his head, like a defeated rooster, and whispered, "Ms. Cai, I'm sorry. We have let you down."

Wu Zhangkong said coldly, "As students of Shrek Academy, you must have the spirit of never giving up. Only by becoming more courageous with every setback can you become a truly strong person."

Ye Xinglan nodded and said, "Next time, I will definitely defeat him, as well as Anping and that Gu Yuena."

Cai Yue'er's voice softened a little, and she said, "You lost to Le Zhengyu not because your efforts were inferior to theirs. His sword should have an increase of at least two rings against him, and it might be better than an ordinary duel. The increase in armor is even greater."

"We came to you this time just to ask how you felt when facing that sword. Speaking of which, this is the first time that someone has been able to use a weapon to this extent."

Ye Xinglan, whose martial soul was a sword, pondered for a moment and said, "This is not the first time I have fought against Le Zhengyu. Compared with before, when he picked up the sword, I could feel the impact that sword had on his soul. There was a huge increase in power."

"If I'm not wrong, it's like a battle armor's effect on a person, maybe a little stronger. But can just a sword really achieve this level?"

Cai Yue'er and Wu Zhangkong looked at each other, and it was exactly as they guessed. Cai Yue'er nodded and said, "That's not your illusion. We guess that Sun Moon Academy may have made a new breakthrough in the field of battle armor."

Several other people also found it unbelievable. They knew that the reason why Battle Armour could have such a large increase on a soul master was because of the mutual linkage of the formations on more than a dozen parts.

Just when they were still working hard for the one-word battle armor, they suddenly learned that someone could do what a whole set of battle armor could do with just one sword. Naturally, they couldn't believe it.

Looking at the dumbfounded students, Cai Yue'er sighed and said, "I felt unbelievable at first, but the facts are right in front of us, so we can't help but not believe it."

Unlike other students, Tang Wulin thought more. When he heard them say that Le Zhengyu had increased the strength of his battle armor with one sword, Tang Wulin immediately thought of the previous Golden Dragon Spear.

When he held the Golden Dragon Spear, he felt that the Golden Dragon Spear's amplification to him was like a battle armor, but it was more of an amplification to the power of blood, so he wondered whether Le Zhengyu was holding a divine weapon.

So Tang Wulin said, "Ms. Cai, is it possible that the sword in Le Zhengyu's hand is not a creation of soul guidance technology as you have guessed, but a legendary artifact? You must know the reason why Battle Armour can attack soul masters with such a large increase is the linkage effect of more than a dozen components."

"Furthermore, after nearly ten thousand years of development, soul guides have gradually evolved into today's Battle Armour. No matter how powerful Sun Moon Academy is, it is impossible to suddenly create something that surpasses Battle Armour without any rumors."

"And the formation alone is a difficult problem to overcome. A set of armor has more than a dozen parts and countless formations that cannot be condensed into one sword."

After hearing Tang Wulin's guess, Cai Yue'er shook her head slightly and said, "Although I don't know why you guessed like this, it is most likely wrong. If it is Le Zhengyu alone, it is certainly possible. But how do you explain Xu Xiaoyan's mirror?"

"It's impossible for both of them to have obtained the legendary artifact at the same time, right? Your teacher and I will go back and inquire about this matter. All you have to do now is practice hard."

After saying that, Cai Yue'er left with Wu Zhangkong. They were going to question Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan and see if they could get an answer.
