The Tiger King, Mournful Mist, and Sword Torrent shocked the entire world of Cultivators.
In the following month, the world of Cultivators was in turmoil. More than ten Cultivation sects and five universities held press conferences, announcing the success of their MP crystal suits.
For a time, the MP Crystal Suit became the hottest topic in the world of Cultivators. Samsara Treasures magazine became a special issue of the Crystal Suit. The sales of 'Crystal Suit World', another authoritative magazine that focused on the Crystal Suit, quadrupled within a month.
Of course, anyone with a keen eye could tell that most of the MP crystal suits were in fact built in a hurry. In order to pursue a lower cost, the usage of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures was blindly reduced. Therefore, the crystal suits could only be counted as relatively strong armor, not crystal suits at all.
One month after the Tiger King Battlesuit was released, the MP Crystal Suit models that were relatively competitive were still the Tiger King, Mournful Mist, and Sword Torrent.
After that, Deep Sea University and the Gold Armor Clan held the second press conference of the Tiger King Battlesuit.
In the press conference, new battle videos, structural designs, and performance parameters of the suit were announced.
After a month of testing, the Tiger King Battlesuit had been equipped with a piece of aggressive magical equipment named 'Claws of Light', which had significantly improved its melee combat ability.
In the video, Zuo Feijing ripped apart three turtle-type demon beasts with the Tiger King Battlesuit in only ten seconds.
The carefree and unrestrained battle scene made all the reporters click their tongues in amazement.
Samsara Treasures magazine and 'Crystal Suit World' were full of compliments, too.
Compared to the uproar in the outside world, the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution seemed to have fallen into a black hole. They didn't release any information and even declined the interview requests of several magazines.
All the refiners of the grassroots faction remained mysterious and did not reveal the slightest bit of information through their private channels.
It was such a weird situation. People couldn't help but feel puzzled and whisper to each other.
Most of the Cultivators believed that the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution had encountered an unsolvable problem. The project had stagnated and was basically out of the competition for the military's big order.
In a summary article in The World of Crystal Suit. After a lengthy summary of the mass-produced Crystal Suit refined by Deep Sea University, Star Nebula University, the Three Major Sword Sects, and other major forces, the reporter wrote in a regretful tone:
"The Grand Desolate War Institution was one of the earliest forces in the Federation to carry out the production of the MP Crystal Suit. However, a catastrophic accident happened last year. Most of the refiners died, and the project never recovered."
"This year, under the leadership of Professor Yuan Manqiu, the remaining experts and scholars of the grassroots faction have gathered together to restart Project Mystic Skeleton. But apparently, they have encountered the same problem as last year. It is impossible to produce a qualified crystal reactor with ordinary materials. "
"While the major sects and universities are announcing the success of the research and development of the Crystal Suit, the Grand Desolate War Institution is still keeping silent and refusing to give any interviews. They are not even willing to reveal any details of their progress. It is very likely that they have already given up."
And in the floating mountain of the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department...
This month, however, was like a volcanic eruption. Passion, fighting spirit, and fanaticism were everywhere!
Everyone was surrounded by invisible flames. Their resolute eyes were as sharp as swords and sabers, which could produce dazzling sparks when they collided in midair. They seemed to have been hypnotized by a mysterious force. They were fully devoted to Project Mystic Skeleton. Except for the daily progress meetings where their faces were red and their ears were red, they were furious. Normally, they would tightly purse their lips, unwilling to say even half a word of nonsense, unwilling to waste even half a second.
The reason why they refused interviews was not to keep a low profile, but to seize every minute and second so that the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit could be completed as soon as possible!
October 30th. The basic framework of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was officially finalized. The first back support shaft was also refined...
November 4th. The power system was successfully refined. The power system of the basic model only consisted of eight power array glyphs. Its performance might not be particularly impressive. However, a large number of interfaces and modification possibilities were left open. It was almost possible to add more power array glyphs and anti-gravity array glyphs.
November 11th. The remote attack system with 400 super-tiny flying swords was refined.
November 22nd. All the plate armor and defensive magical equipment were refined.
November 24th. The connection between the 'VII Super Saint' military crystal processor on the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and the various magical equipment units was completed. The intense debugging work began.
December 1st. The sky was somewhat gloomy.
But the floating mountain of the Refining Department was in full swing.
Every pair of fists was tightly clenched, every chest was rapidly rising and falling, every dry and cracked lips were slightly trembling, and every pair of eyes was flashing with the light of excitement. Everyone was anxiously waiting!
Li Yao was one of them, too.
In the past month or so, he had put in more effort and effort than all the other experts and scholars.
The specialists and scholars were all adept at refining in a certain field. They were either responsible for the power system, the defensive magical equipment system, or the debugging of the crystal processor.
But Li Yao was different.
As a test pilot, he had to offer his opinions and suggestions on all the parts of the Crystal Suit from the perspective of a user.
At the same time, he was also the refining assistant of all the specialists.
As he gradually revealed his talent in refining, many specialists had specifically asked him to participate in the refinement of the key components. Some of the core components were even given to him for polishing.
Li Yao worked almost 24 hours a day. He wished that he could split a person into eight pieces.
Later, even Yuan Manqiu was a bit scared of his craziness. She dragged him to the deep sleep chamber several times. But he only slept for half an hour before he snuck out again.
It couldn't be helped. It was a rare opportunity!
Project Mystic Skeleton was related to the glory of all the grassroots refiners. The specialists and scholars were all doing their best. Li Yao was dazzled and dumbfounded by their marvelous skills.
Working for the specialists for half a day was more useful than reading books for a week. Li Yao was going to become the best refiner in the Federation. How could he miss such a great opportunity?
As the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit gradually took shape, Li Yao's attainments in refining became deeper and deeper. If others were only specialists in a certain field, he had dabbled in all the fields of refining the Crystal Suit.
With his knowledge, he went to the Heavenly Refining Tower to read the classics of the Hundred Smelting Clan from forty thousand years ago. Many questions that he didn't understand before suddenly became clear.
Many of the specialists and scholars had profound and unintelligible theories, but he could often find the answers in the classics of the Hundred Smelting Clan.
This was the principle of complementing each other, and when the tide rose, the boat would also rise.
Finally.
When Li Yao was like a leech that almost emptied the reserves in the stomachs of all the specialists, the prototype model of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was successfully produced!
What appeared in front of everyone was a special, huge, tempered glass container filled with light red anti-rust fluid. A human-shaped object was standing quietly inside.
"Chiliu! Chiliu! Chiliu! Chiliu!"
The anti-rust fluid was discharged quickly, revealing the true body of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.
Li Yao was breathing fast. His eyes were sore and swollen. The Soul Condensing Pendant was shivering slightly, too.
Compared to the intimidating Tiger King Battlesuit, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit looked rather plain.
The basic model was only 2.11 meters tall. It was relatively short among the medium-sized Crystal Suit models.
The plate armor was made of common strengthened alloys. The configuration of the military crystal processor was not impressive, either.
The only bright spot was the two crystal cannons on the two sides of the crystal reactor on the back of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, which could be recharged with the spiritual energy escaping from the crystal reactor. At the cost of the endurance of the Crystal Suit, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had a very good remote attack capability.
There was also a melee magical equipment rack on the waist of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, which could carry many kinds of heavy chainswords and sabers that were specially designed for the Crystal Suit.
Other than that, the arms of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit were equipped with thorns for melee combat.
At first glance, such a configuration and performance was barely adequate.
Compared to the Tiger King Battlesuit, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was as different as heaven and earth.
However, under the poor data on paper, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had its own advantages, too.
First of all, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit adopted the framework of the Crystal Suit from the Star Ocean Imperium.
The project had been developed by Mo Xuan and Yuan Manqiu after they got the inspiration from a fragment of an ancient jade chip. Mo Xuan and Yuan Manqiu had spent more than ten years studying the framework of the Crystal Suit. Judging from its structure alone, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was definitely one of the best suits.
The excellent structural design had significantly improved the survivability of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit on the battlefield.
The defense mechanism of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was different from that of the Tiger King Battlesuit.
With the technical support of the Gold Armor Clan, the Tiger King Battlesuit was equipped with the best armor and defensive magical equipment. It would be very difficult for the enemy to break its defense on the battlefield.
Although the defense system of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was quite ordinary, according to the results of the experiments, even if 70% of the plate armor was destroyed, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit would still have some combat ability, like an unkillable cockroach. It was all thanks to the excellent structure.
Secondly, with the cooperation of the grassroots refiners, the total number of components of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had been reduced to 13998 for the first time.
The number was basically less than two thirds of the Crystal Suit of the same kind, and even less than half of the Tiger King Battlesuit.
The simpler the structure, the more reliable the performance. Even if something went wrong, it would be very easy to repair.
Thirdly, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was highly adaptable.
Because of the modular design, all the magical equipment units could be replaced. During the refining process, all the refiners, including Li Yao, had come up with almost twenty modification plans.
It meant that when the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was used in a battlefield, dozens of derivative models could be created to meet the needs of most of the battles. It was great news for both the training of Exos and the logistics.
With the three advantages and the extremely low price, everybody in the Refining Department had absolute confidence in the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.
"The first test of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit begins now!"
