Douluo Dalu - The Story of Sheng Feilong Chapter 103

Old Tang's eyebrows rose slightly and he kept staring at Sheng Feilong . "Nether Star Aldismium . . ? So you're combining the names of all the metals that make it up, huh? Well, I guess that works . " He turned around and grabbed a notebook from the shelf . Scribbling something inside, Sheng Feilong guessed he was noting down the new Spirit Alloy's name .

Putting the notebook down again, Old Tang went back over to the furnace and stared into it for a moment . He nodded his head, reached into the fire and pulled out a big chunk of glowing red metal . He observed it and nodded again sat down on his anvil .

His Soul Power started surging lightly, startling Sheng Feilong greatly as it was nearly as powerful as Song Weihan's and a pitch black hammer with deep, blood red markings appeared in his hand . He glanced at Sheng Feilong and spoke a single sentence while he started hammering the metal . "What are you still standing around there for? You got your stuff, now beat it! I'm busy!"

Sheng Feilong smiled helplessly and turned around to leave . He just closed the door behind himself and started to hear loud booming sounds from inside the smithy . Glancing back he looked at the door . From the sounds alone, he could guess that the forging process was quite intense . 'Senior Tang kicked me out so I won't have to bear the shockwaves from his forging, huh? All of them really are considerate . . . '

He turned around with a smile and left the smithy . Paying a visit to Song Weihan and his father at the facilities She Meixiao gave them, informing them that he'll be starting with making his Battle Armour now so they won't be worried .

A while later, he stood in the middle of his little workshop and fished out a stack of blueprints from his Spacial Ring; The design's for his Battle Armour! Unlike what one would expect when they heard the word 'design', the blueprints for a whole Battle Armour weren't just drawn on a single blueprint .

A Battle Armour, even if just a One Word variation, the lowest level among Battle Armours, it was still a highly complicated and detailed machinery that had hundreds if not thousands of details that had to be paid attention to .

Sheng Feilong picked out one of the blueprints and pinned it to the cork wall . This one was the main design, showing the complete design for the Battle Armour and how it should look once it's finished . Naturally, it was designed specifically with Sheng Feilong's dimensions in mind, so there couldn't be any differences . Still, for Sheng Feilong, this main blueprint was just to motivate himself .

He picked another one of the blueprints – one for the left arm part of the Battle Armour and studied it for a while . He had to perfectly memorize every nook and cranny of the design before he could even attempt to built it, so he sat down on the table and meticulously scanned it with no signs of hurry to be seen .

Creating a Battle Armour was a lengthy process, even it it's 'just' the making part . Although he had one and a half months of time it finish it, even Sheng Feilong wasn't sure if he could do it in that short amount of time . A few hours passed before Sheng Feilong stood up and stretched his limbs .

His eyes were sparkling and he was enthusiastic about starting now . He had memorized the whole blueprint to a T and rummaged through his Spacial Ring to find the most suitable piece of Nether Star Aldismium to create the left gauntlet for his Battle Armour .

Days flew by in a breeze and Sheng Feilong hasn't left his workshop even once . Although both of them knew that it took a long time to create Battle Armours, Song Weihan and She Meixiao were still nervous . Sheng Feilong spent a total of 6 days inside the workshop without stepping out of it .

Finally, on the morning of the seventh day, the door slowly opened and a haggard looking Sheng Feilong stepped out of the room . His face was pale and he had deep bags under his eyes, showing just how tired he was . His clothes and hair were still tidy as creating the Battle Armour mainly focused on his mental capabilities and his eyes showed a bright and excited expression .

Sheng Lingtian currently sat in front of the room alone and was the first to see sheng Feilong emerge from it . Seeing his son's state, he could help but feel a bit distressed, but the look in his eyes said enough about the situation . He walked over to Sheng feilong and lightly smiled "Do you want to go eat something? Or would you rather just go to sleep?"

Sheng Feilong hadnd't even answered before his stomach growled loudly . Sheng Lingtian chuckled and went towards the cafeteria with Sheng Feilong in tow . Gourging himself on the food there, Sheng Feilong's face quickly regained it's usual colour and She Meixiao and Song Weihan joined them not much later .

They went towards Song Weihan's office since it was closer to the cafeteria and asked about Sheng Feilong's success . Since they were alone, the latter just smiled and lifted his left arm . Urging his Soul Power slightly, a dull black light emerged around his whole forearm, quickly followed by a solid looking, streamlined black amour .

The piece of armour looked stoic and solid, but as Sheng Feilong moved his hand, the armour bend with it perfectly – This was the greatest advantage of Battle Armour that had fused with a Soul Master's body; It would always be a perfect fit, no matter what kind of movements they made!

Sheng Feilong slowly moved his finger one by one and the claw like armour fluidly moved with him . It really was like Sheng Feilong grew a second layer of skin . The whole armour was pitch black, just like the Nether Star Aldismium and had a grey metallic lustre that outlined the contours of the armour itself .

The three adults started to compliment Sheng Feilong on his work, while She Meixiao and Song Weihan scanned the armour at the same time, surprised at the seamless craftsmanship of Sheng Feilong .

After that, Sheng Feilong returned to his quarters and slept for the rest of the day . The next morning, nearly 18 hours later as it was barely past noon when he went to sleep, he returned to his workshop and started studying the next blueprint . Thanks to his strong body and powerful Spirit Power, he could continue like nothing happened after a good night's sleep!

Like this, he spent over a month in his workshop, only ever coming out one he finished another part of the armour – gourging himself in the cafeteria before showing off his work to his Masters and father and then sleep for a day before heading back to work on the next part .

The others could only shake their heads, but were nonetheless surprised at his endurance and determination . Moreover, even though he worked for about a week without pause every time, his craftsmanship was superb for every piece .

Finally, just three days before the deadline She Meixiao set for him – the day where she would leave to conduct a special mission – Sheng Feilong exited his workshop for the last time; He had finished the final piece for his One Word Battle Armour!

After gorging himself in the cafeteria again with Sheng Lingtian, they went to Song Weihan's office . It had become a routine to do so, so none of them thought it weird and the researchers had become accustomed to seeing Sheng Feilong walk in their boss's office like a zombie .

Song Weihan smiled when he saw Sheng Feilong's expression . Even when compared to the first time he came out with a finished part of his Battle Armour, he looked even more excited . "So, I guess you've really made it? You completed the whole Battle Armour?"

"Yes! I finished the last piece just today; The core component . With this, it's all completed!" Sheng Feilong replied instantly and smiled brightly . He took a step back and his Soul Power began to surge .

His body became covered in a dull black light before the metallic, streamlined Battle armour suddenly covered his whole body . The claw like gauntlets covering his arms, solid, armoured legs, a breastplate that was curved outwards covering his chest and upper body and a simple looking helmet covering his face .

The whole armour had the pitch black colour of the Nether Star Aldismium and the greyish metallic lustre . Compared to conventional Battle Armour, sheng Feilong's looked much simpler, but the feeling he gave off by just standing there sent shivers down Sheng Lingtian's spine . Even with his cultivation as a mid stage Soul Emperor, he knew he would lose to Sheng Feilong in less than ten moves if the latter wore this Battle Armour – It's power was incredible!
