Although Mia had tried her best to hide her inner turmoil from Baiyi, how could a girl who was not even sixteen years old know how to hide anything? Of course, those slight changes did not escape Baiyi's eyes.
Does this little girl not have any confidence in herself? She has no idea what kind of existence she has just summoned... Baiyi thought to himself. Turning to the Soul Armature Practitioner in the Void, he asked, "Have you ever thought that your invention would become like this?"
"Actually, the first Soul Armature that I summoned was just a Master Level Soul Armature. And at that time, in order to extend his consciousness, he had already used up most of his strength. But still, he gave me a lot of help with his knowledge and experience. The most important thing about a Soul Armature should be their precious wisdom and not their combat power. I didn't expect that I would become so utilitarian in the future," The Soul Armature Practitioner said with a hint of regret.
Baiyi's reaction was very calm. "It's actually a good thing to be utilitarian. It's also because of these powerful Soul Armatures that mankind could develop into the most powerful race in the world, right? The later generations have given you the glorious title of the Pioneer of the Realms. It's a well-deserved title. "
"It's just an empty title. But you, Sir Hope, will be looked down upon by a lot of people in the future, right?" The Soul Armature Practitioner said sympathetically.
"Do you think I'll care about those boring things?" There was a hint of a smile in his voice as he continued to say, "But, it's about time for me to put on a show for Mia-chan. This little girl seems to have misunderstood me a lot, don't you think?"
While the two of them were chatting, Mia had already brought Baiyi to their destination. It was a closed-off training field. Other than Baiyi and Mia, there were a few other couples in the field. Naturally, there were also many students and teachers who had come to watch.
"Ugh... Why are there so many people today?" Mia said with a bitter face. Initially, she wanted to keep a low profile but she did not expect that the training field would be so crowded and crowded.
Sensing the slight hesitation in the girl's movements, Baiyi could roughly guess what she was thinking. He tightened his grip on Mia's hand, giving her an invisible sense of encouragement. "Let's go," he said in a low voice, holding Mia's hand as they continued to walk forward.
After entering the spacious training field, Baiyi found out from the crowd that it was the day that the Celestial Fortress Academy opened their Soul Armature Appraisal to the outside world. Soul Armature Practitioners who were not part of the academy were allowed to bring their Soul Armature for appraisal. No wonder it was so lively and there were even Soul Armature Practitioners who were dressed very differently from the students.
Most of the Soul Armatures that they were wearing were of bright and beautiful designs. At the very least, they were wearing a set of standard military heavy armor. Baiyi was the only one who dared to come out in a militia's armor. For a moment, the two of them were almost as attractive as those gorgeous armors.
"Am I seeing things? That … that's a militia armor? Isn't that for practice? This is the first time I know that this thing can actually move! "
"Although it's simple and crude, it's still not a problem for me to move around. What I'm curious about is, why didn't they change the armor first before coming out for appraisal? Isn't that a little too disrespectful to the soul of that powerful being? "
"Hmm … Look at that cute girl next to him. I often see her feeding the pigeons in the square. I don't think she's that kind of person. It's just that she's short of money, right?"
After entering the training field, Mia was surrounded by even more discussions. There were even some people who were pointing at the two of them rudely. Perhaps they did not have much malicious intent but it still caused a lot of psychological pressure on Mia.
"I should've changed Mr. Hope's armor first …" Mia muttered under her breath. Then, she took out a cute kitten shaped coin pouch from her pocket and turned it over and over again. She could not even count how many coins there were in it. "But we don't have enough money. What should we do? I guess it's better for me to think of a way, right? "As she said that, she raised her head and gave Baiyi an apologetic and questioning look.
Don't these boring people need to go to class? And you, little girl! If you want me to look good, then you should try your best to improve your own strength! Baiyi thought to himself. Reaching out, he patted her head and comforted her, "It's okay, Mia. Don't worry about these details. Look at that guy over there. He might not be suited for such a bright appearance."
Mia's gaze followed Baiyi's hand and saw a pair of Soul Armature Duo standing in front of the appraisal teacher. It was a Soul Armature that was covered in golden light. It was so bright and dazzling that even if it was just standing there, it would still naturally become the center of attention.
"What a gorgeous armor!" Mia exclaimed. "It must be very strong, right?"
However, the appraisal teacher turned to the Soul Armature Practitioner who was also well-dressed and said, "Dear student, I know that you want to be the center of attention. It's not wrong to equip the soul of a powerful being with this kind of high-end decorative armor. But … this powerful being was an assassin when he was alive. If you dress him up so brilliantly, he will not be used to it …"
"Pfft! Pfft! Is that so? What a coincidence … "Hearing that, Mia could not help but chuckle with her hand covering her mouth. She could not help but feel sorry for the Soul Armature. No wonder the Soul Armature had his head lowered and his shoulders slumped. He looked so lethargic. An assassin who relied on the shadows to survive was dressed up like a lamp in the night. What kind of experience is that?
Coincidentally, standing next to the shiny duo was a pair that seemed to be low-key and reserved. The Soul Armature had also chosen a set of pure black full-body armor. Although it looked quite plain, one could faintly feel that it contained a powerful force.
"Wow, a matured black color. It gives off a very reliable vibe," Mia could not help but exclaim.
"Maybe?" Baiyi replied with a faint smile.
Then, the appraisal teacher who was in charge of the low-key duo said, "Dear student, I'm very impressed by your financial resources. I can't believe that you're able to find such a suit of armor made of high-purity anti-magic metal. This armor has a very strong magic resistance. It's a good weapon to fight against sorcerers. However, the soul of this powerful being was a mage himself! How do you expect him to cast a spell? "
Just like what the teacher had said, the black Soul Armature initially intended to cast a Pyroblast spell. But in the end, even with all his strength, he could only light a small flame on his fingertip. He could not even light a piece of paper …
"If you don't plan to change his armor, I'm afraid that you'll have to try to let him walk the path of a melee sorcerer," The appraisal teacher concluded.
"Look, beautiful and expensive are not necessarily suitable for him," Baiyi said, taking advantage of the topic, "It's better to keep it simple."
Just as he said that, the onlookers not far away suddenly exclaimed, "A Legendary-level expert! This Soul Armature is actually a Legendary Level Warrior! How enviable! "
Baiyi and Mia turned to look at the source of the commotion and saw a Soul Armature standing there. His appearance was simple and unadorned. There were dozens of scratches on his shoulder armor. According to the tradition here, every time a Soul Armature defeated a strong opponent, he or she would be able to leave some scratches on his shoulder armor to show off his or her achievements.
It could be seen that the original owner of the armor was also a strong warrior who had been through hundreds of battles. This armor must be a family heirloom, right? And now that its new owner was a Legendary Level Swordsman, it could be said that he had passed on his power and glory to the next generation, right?
"Legendary Level? That's amazing …" Mia said with a hint of envy. She secretly turned her head to look at Baiyi before quickly averting her gaze, afraid that Baiyi would notice it.
Of course, Baiyi had also noticed that. For a moment, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. It's just a Legendary Level Warrior. Why is it able to make people so surprised? Isn't it similar to the Death Knights under the Lich?
"In reality, a Legendary Level Warrior can be considered to be quite powerful. It can't be compared to monsters like you guys!" A Voidwalker with the code name 'The Merchant' said.
Indeed, the Legendary Level was the sixth rank out of the nine ranks. It was the dividing line of the highest combat power. Many people without talent or resources would never be able to reach the Legendary Level in their lifetime. However, among the Voidwalkers, there were a few Demigods who were at the highest rank, and most of the rest were at the Holy Level. A mere Legendary Level was really not worth mentioning.
Unfortunately, it was not convenient for him to tell Mia about these things. Otherwise, she would not be so nervous.
"With your current strength, what will happen if you fight against that guy?" The Archmage suddenly asked.
"Three seconds is enough," Baiyi replied confidently.
"Don't you think you're too much? Even if you have a wealth of knowledge and Void Energy, the power that you can use right now is only at the Intermediate Level. "The Archmage did not quite believe Baiyi's words.
"You don't believe me? Just watch and see, "Baiyi said with a smile.
The Legendary Level Soul Armature was also quite satisfied with the feeling of being the center of attention. So, he agreed to the appraisal teacher and the crowd's request and decided to perform the sword technique that he was proud of in front of everyone. So, he put on a cool starting stance and did not forget to introduce it, "This is the technique that I was proud of when I was alive, the Greatsword of Fantasy, The Falling Devil. I once used this technique to slay countless evil dragons."
Then … Then, because the armor had been in disrepair for a long time, his knee suddenly got stuck, causing him to fall on his face right after he put on a starting stance …
The crowd instantly fell silent.
The appraisal teacher could only say awkwardly, "If it's possible, I suggest that you try to be a blacksmith. Really, believe me, this is the only way that you can bring out the true strength of this strong man …"
