Chapter 889: Wild Gentleman?
w.a.n.g Teng was too lazy to care about Round Ball’s boasting. He sized up the red-black battle armor before fixing his gaze on the metallic pair of wings at the back.
The wings were properly retracted. Before he turned to the back, he couldn’t see any signs of the wings from the front.
This pair of wings were made of extremely light and thin feathers. The pieces of feathers stacked onto one another, so the wings didn’t take up much s.p.a.ce when folded.
The metallic feathers were green and purple. There were spots of purple patterns on the green surface. It was beautiful.
“These are the wings of wind and lightning!” Round Ball’s eyes were glowing. It seemed extremely satisfied with its work.
w.a.n.g Teng was impressed too. He caressed the green-purple feathers lightly and felt the sharpness of the feathers. He could also sense the faint lightning and wind element runes on them. He was delighted with this product.
Round Ball gave him a huge surprise!
“This battle armor and the wings of wind and lightning are both at the cosmos level. When you wear it, you can reach celestial-stage speed and can handle the attacks from celestial-stage martial warriors. You will be indomitable in the celestial stage,” Round Ball explained.
“But it will be another story if you meet some rare formidable celestial-stage monsters. After all, those people can fight with cosmos-stage martial warriors, so you can’t judge them based on common sense.”
“Cosmos-stage speed!” w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes lit up.
…
Speed was the key!
His cultivation was only at the planetary stage. If he didn’t possess Celestial Realm Spirit, he wouldn’t be able to reach cosmos-stage speed.
But with the wings of wind and lightning, everything was different.
Moreover, he could use them together with his Celestial Realm Spirit, so his speed could be on par with the first three levels of the cosmos stage.
“Try it on.” Round Ball smiled when it saw his excited expression.
“Okay!” w.a.n.g Teng didn’t reject the offer. This armor was designed for him. There was no better time to wear it.
“Acknowledge the armor first by dripping a drop of blood into the core. The battle armor will remember your gene formation, and it will be yours to use from now on.” Round Ball pointed at the chest area of the battle armor.
The chest area flicked open, revealing numerous runes squeezed inside the core. w.a.n.g Teng dripped his blood inside, and the runes lit up as if they were alive. The light followed the lines of the runes and spread to the rest of the battle armor instantly.
“You can wear this armor with a single thought,” Round Ball said.
w.a.n.g Teng followed its instructions, and the battle armor immediately dashed towards him like a bolt of red-black lightning. It covered his body like liquid and turned into the shape of armor again.
The entire process took less than three seconds.
The armor was a perfect fit. It gave off a red-black metallic glow. Under the bright lights in the smithery studio, it exuded a sharp and chilly aura like a ruthless and ferocious G.o.d!
“Oh my!” w.a.n.g Teng was astounded.
He had seen battle armors and even donned one before, but they weren’t worn like this.
The battle armor he got from the alien candidates would split into different parts before combining into armor again on his body. Yet, this one covered his body like a liquid. It was amazing.
“Haha, this is a special function available to cosmos-level battle armor. The metal can change state freely, so you can wear it faster than other lower-level battle armor. It’s more convenient too,” Round Ball smiled and said.
“Good riddance!” w.a.n.g Teng touched the battle armor on his body and felt the cold temperature of this perfect armor. He clenched his fist. His movements were as agile as if the armor wasn’t present.
“If you’re not using the wings of wind and lightning, you can keep them in the hidden compartment behind your back. That way, no one can tell that you have such a powerful escaping feature,” Round Ball said.
“Oh, this design is good.” w.a.n.g Teng moved his thoughts and the wings behind were automatically kept in the hidden compartment.
The battle armor looked normal.
“Does this armor have a name?” w.a.n.g Teng asked.
“I named it the Wild Gentleman! What do you think?” Round Ball got excited when it mentioned the name. He looked at w.a.n.g Teng in antic.i.p.ation, hoping to gain recognition from him.
w.a.n.g Teng felt speechless. The corners of his lips trembled violently.
Wild Gentleman?
What kind of name is this!
He knew that he shouldn’t place all his hopes on Round Ball. This fellow was bad at designing and naming. Yet it didn’t seem to know its flaws and even felt proud of itself.
“What did you say? I didn’t hear you properly. Never mind, the name is not important. Let’s talk about it in the future.” w.a.n.g Teng dug his ear and pretended that he didn’t hear Round Ball.
“F**k, what do you mean? Are you questioning my naming sense? Let me tell you, this battle armor will be called the Wild Gentleman. Since I made it, I have the right to name it.” Round Ball glared at w.a.n.g Teng, acting stubborn.
“I’m going to test out the power of this battle armor in the cultivation room.” w.a.n.g Teng turned around and strode outside. He couldn’t wait to test the speed of this pair of wings.
Round Ball was furious. It mumbled unhappily as it followed behind him.
Boom!
At this moment, there was a loud explosion. The s.p.a.cecraft shook violently.
“What happened?” w.a.n.g Teng turned serious.
“d.a.m.n it, we’re under attack. Luckily, the defense s.h.i.+eld blocked it.” Round Ball’s expression turned ugly. It lifted its hand, and a ray of light appeared in front of them.
The situation outside the s.p.a.cecraft was displayed at the end of this beam of light. Ten s.p.a.cecraft were closing in on them at a fast speed. There was still a distance between them, but they had already launched their attacks. Beams of light shot through the universe, heading straight for the QY-E63 s.p.a.cecraft.
“Olant Federation!” w.a.n.g Teng and Round Ball saw the Olant Federation symbol on the s.p.a.cecraft.
Their expressions changed slightly. They didn’t expect their enemies to arrive so quickly, even following them into the wormhole.
“Good timing. I can use them to test the power of my battle armor.” Killing intent oozed out of w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes as he took a large step forward.
“Going out? We’re in a wormhole. Even cosmos-stage martial warriors don’t dare to step out into a wormhole casually. Are you looking for death?” Round Ball stopped him immediately.
“Have you forgotten that I have s.p.a.ce talent?” w.a.n.g Teng continued walking.
“Besides the power of s.p.a.ce, the power of time also exists in the wormhole. You will be dead if you get sucked into a time current,” Round Ball caught up with him and said sternly.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” w.a.n.g Teng didn’t tell Round Ball that he had just gained the time talent and could evade time currents. Thus, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Round Ball still wanted to persuade him, but the cabin door opened, and w.a.n.g Teng flew out like a ray of light with his red-black battle armor.
“This fellow!” Round Ball stomped its feet in anger. There was nothing it could do.
