"Can my Totem Battle Armor be upgraded?"
Meng Chao could not help but ask when he saw the shocking changes in the Platinum Ripper.
"Of course, the biggest characteristic of the totemic armor is that it can perfectly match its owner's characteristics. However, this can only be achieved on the altar."
Hailstorm stepped out of the blue pillar of light. Looking at the brand new totem armor, she was in a good mood. She said with a smile, "This is also the biggest benefit of having temples everywhere in Turan Lake!"
Under her guidance, Meng Chao stepped into the blue pillar of light.
Rays of light that seemed to contain infinite starlight slowly seeped into the armor.
Hundreds of cuneiform words instantly appeared in Meng Chao's field of vision.
It was just like how the operating systems of Dragon City's phones and computers were upgraded, their permissions were unlocked, and different functional modules were added.
Even though Meng Chao did not understand the meaning behind most of the orders, he did not understand them.
However, the ancient Turan people had obviously considered the problem of the decline or even collapse of their civilization. They were considerate enough to prepare a lot of visual instructions for their successors.
In the form of three-dimensional, shining, golden figurines, they vividly explained to Meng Chao what combat modules were in the current totem armor, what special functions each combat module had, and what spirit meridians he needed to activate and control them.
If he wanted to display the ultimate skill that made him famous in the past, "249", which combat modules were involved, how to cultivate it, and so on.
What surprised Meng Chao the most was that the mysterious power contained in the altar in the temple gave him different directions to upgrade his totem armor based on his characteristics.
It was just like the Platinum Ripper in the Ice Storm, which turned its gigantic axe into six sharp and agile claws.
Meng Chao could also turn the legendary Skull Crusher from a flaming warhammer into a chain saber.
That's great!
Even though Meng Chao had just awakened and became a superhuman, he had obtained the Demon Subduing Pole from Ninth High School's Principal Sun, so he did not reject taking the path of strength and offense.
However, the two gigantic fiery war hammers still exceeded the upper limit of his control.
After all, he was a harvester, and his fingertips had come into contact with countless of the most sensitive and brittle monster materials. His fingers were much more nimble than a normal warrior's.
In his previous life, the training he received in the Black Skull Training Camp was also for the Ghost Assassin class. It was even more adept at stealth and assassination than Hailstorm.
Using a war hammer that was even bigger than his head as his main weapon would be a waste of these two talents.
Through the altar in the divine temple, he could turn Skull Crusher from a morningstar into two huge chain sabers. Not only did it retain its indestructible destructive power, it was also beneficial to his fine and precise control. It could not be any better!
Meng Chao chose this direction without hesitation.
At the same time, he chose to "completely recast" the totemic armor. He picked and condensed the armor scraps that he had devoured in the Game of Bravehearts in the past half a month.
This was because his totem battle armor was completely pieced together and continuously seized from the clan warriors.
For example, the armor fragments of low-level clan warriors like Big Buck could still make do in the past.
However, in front of the Cranium Crusher, the legendary gladiator 249, the rudimentary scraps of the armor were not enough. They were too uncoordinated when they were pieced together.
The ice storm told Meng Chao that even though the material used to form the totem armor was not a normal metal and was not limited by weight and size, it was still incredibly dense and light.
However, there was still a limit to this kind of superposition.
As the saying goes, "Going too far is as bad as falling short". If too many low-level totem armors were repeatedly stacked on the body of a single master, not only would it not help to increase the combat power, but the different nature of the totem power would instead interfere with each other, weakening the output of the master and increasing the burden on the master.
Since Meng Chao already had Cranium Crusher, a peerlessly fierce ancient weapon …
Many of the middle and low-level armor fragments could be decomposed and excreted.
This would also help Meng Chao when he obtained higher-grade Totem Armor fragments in the future. Then, he would have enough space and capacity to insert new functional modules.
Her suggestion coincided with Meng Chao's thoughts.
Meng Chao's face turned red while he stood in the blue pillar of light. He used all his strength and finally managed to secrete dozens of strange-looking totemic armor fragments from his pores in the form of liquid metal. Once they gathered together, they fell to the ground with clanging sounds.
At that moment, the upgrade of the Totem Armor was completed.
Once a large number of low-grade armor fragments were excreted, Meng Chao's armor seemed to have shrunk a little.
But just like the Platinum Ripper in the ice storm, it fit its master's figure and presence even better.
The originally domineering and fierce magma intersecting with each other around him turned into rays of dark red light that kept a low profile and outlined Meng Chao's terrifying muscles.
It made him look like a near-perfect steel statue that had just walked out of a furnace.
The morningstar hammers turned into two chain sabers, one big and one small, and one long and one short. The surface of the chain sabers was also surrounded by countless burning red patterns that formed a zigzagging dragon picture. It was as if there were two raging fire dragons coiled around them.
The chains wrapped around Meng Chao's palms to the ends of his arms. They looked like two corporeal dragon meridians that trembled along with his heartbeat and breathing.
Not only did they increase his attack range to more than fifty arm lengths away, when they wrapped around him tightly, they also increased the defense of his arms and the power of his hammering strikes.
Boom!
Meng Chao crossed his arms and slammed them down. He felt his blood boil, and he was filled with a heroic spirit.
He had a vague feeling that at that moment, he had truly gotten rid of the repercussions of fighting Lu Siya for three hundred rounds.
Not only had he completely recovered his superhuman status as a five-star spirit master, his fighting strength had also surpassed the peak of Heaven Realm.
His fighting strength had also surpassed the peak of Heaven Realm, and he was striding toward Deity Realm!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
With one thought, Meng Chao's shoulders practically did not move. With just a turn of his wrists and a flick of his fingers, the two chain sabers that looked like ghost heads shot out and stabbed into the ground twenty arm lengths away from him.
As his vitality magnetic field surged, his surging spirit energy pushed his totemic power to be released to its fullest. A red light shone on the two chains, and where the chain sabers stabbed into the ground, two huge flames instantly surged out along with two pools of bubbling magma.
Meng Chao growled and swung his arms. With himself as the center, the two chain sabers were like the feet of a compass. They drew a huge and perfect circle on the ground twenty arm lengths away from him.
Wherever the chain sabers went, magma flowed everywhere. The flames shot up to the height of eight arm lengths and formed a sturdy wall of fire.
Compared to the blazing flames that the legendary gladiator "249" had just blasted out, it was not inferior at all.
Meng Chao observed the color and shape of the flames carefully.
He also nervously analyzed the speed at which he drained his spirit energy and how clear his mind was. He tried to set up a coordinate system so that he could find the limits of his current stage. Only then would he be able to decide what strategy he should choose when he fought against the enemy in the next stage.
After a moment, he gained an understanding of the situation.
He grinned and put away his spirit energy and chain sabers.
What satisfied him the most was not just the Skull Crusher's strength.
Instead, it was the Totemic Armor that had three forms.
They were the Death God's Scythe form that emphasized speed, agility, and stealth.
The Demon Subduing Hammer form that emphasized strength and offense.
The Skull Crusher form that allowed him to use the power of the flames from the Bloody Hoof Family and the terrifying power of the Skull Crusher to bring out the full potential of AOE damage and area control!
Meng Chao felt that if he faced Lu Siya again, his ending would definitely be different from the last time he fought against her.
He would definitely be able to suppress this forest banshee.
Of course, the prerequisite was that Lu Siya had to remain at the same level as the last time they parted ways.
He did not want to cause trouble and evolve into a strange new form.
Speaking of which, Meng Chao did not intend to return to Dragon City for the time being.
Right now, the situation in Turanze was raging, and it was a critical moment.
Now that he had such great power in his hands, it would be a pity if he did not try to ride on the waves and control the situation.
With this thought in mind, Meng Chao looked up and cast his gaze at the Blood Skull Temple's dome.
Hundreds of stars shone brightly on the dome because of the fluctuations in their vitality magnetic fields and the illumination from the blue pillar of light.
There seemed to be mountains and rivers connecting the stars to form a very accurate and detailed map.
'This is … Turanze's map?'
Meng Chao cast a curious gaze at the hailstorm.
The hailstorm instantly understood what he meant. It nodded and said, "This is indeed the full map of Turanze. As for the stars on it, they are the temples scattered all over Turanze.
"There is a map like this on the altar of each temple. It tells the people of Turanze where the ancient spirits of our ancestors lived.
"After thousands of years of turmoil and fighting, natural and man-made disasters, many settlements and even tribes were annihilated in the long river of time. Even the temples that they worshiped day and night were often buried in the depths of desolate ruins because of landslides and the passing of weapons.
"It's just like the Major Extinction Order more than three thousand years ago. That was when the people of Turanze were at their weakest and when the people of the holy light were at their strongest.
"The army that came from the land of the holy light and had wings of light on their backs easily broke through Turanze's outer defense line. They burned countless glorious cities with ten thousand years of history to the ground.
"The temples in these cities were forced to sink underground and enter eternal slumber for one thousand years.
"But as long as the people of Turanze still have one temple left, as long as that temple still shines with the coordinates of all the other temples, sooner or later, the people of Turanze will be able to find and awaken all the temples one after another. Then, they will regain their totem power and the blessings of their ancestors.
