Chapter 283: Tianlong Battle Armor and Tianlong Cells!

March 12, 2028.

Northern suburbs of Tianjing.

On an extremely spacious and open field, several pieces of equipment about two meters high were placed.

The equipment was placed symmetrically on both sides of a long track, and Su Xin stood at the starting point of the track.

A young man wearing a white robe stood not far away, his expression solemn.

"Boss, are you ready?"

"Ready!"

"Good, timing... start!"

Following the white-robed young man's order, Su Xin immediately recited silently in his heart:

"Tianlong Battle Armor, equip!"

At the same time Su Xin gave the order.

A mass of dark green cellular tissue suddenly grew wildly outward from beside his right collarbone, forming substances like muscle fibers.

They intertwined and overlapped.

In the blink of an eye, it spread to his whole body, covering his entire body and forming a dark green full-body battle armor with a strong sci-fi aesthetic.

Although it was a battle armor made of biological tissue, the surface was as smooth as metal, and at a glance, it possessed extremely high strength.

And the inherent characteristics and unique structure of the Bio-Armor gave it excellent breathability and flexibility.

This full-body battle armor covered Su Xin completely from head to toe, but his breathing, vision, hearing, and so on were not affected in the slightest.

Including his body's movements and the circulation of air inside and out, there was no obstruction at all, as if it were just a layer of light, weightless willow catkins.

The moment the transformation was complete.

The white-robed young man on the side immediately pressed the timing device and then shouted:

"Transformation duration: 2.6 seconds."

"Next item, prepare for the 500-meter run!"

"Ready... start!"

At the same time the words fell.

A black shadow was seen bursting out from the starting point of the track, and in almost just a dozen breaths of time, it rushed past the finish line.

The devices on both sides of the track accurately recorded Su Xin's passing time and automatically synchronized the data to the device in the young man's hand.

"How is the data?"

Su Xin asked casually as he returned from the finish line.

The young man took a deep breath, barely suppressing his excitement, and reported:

"Transformation duration: 2.6 seconds, a slight improvement over last time."

"500-meter completion time: 17.9 seconds."

"Average 100-meter completion time: 3.6 seconds."

Speed is different from physical attributes like strength and physique; it is an external manifestation of comprehensive physical fitness, influenced by many complex factors, and is very difficult to improve effectively.

Most ordinary people's 100-meter run time is around 15 seconds; after some training, they can basically reach under 13 seconds; professional athletes are generally in the low 10-second range, and the world record is 9.58 seconds.

These figures do not look like there is much of a gap.

The higher one goes, the smaller the gap between each level becomes.

In reality, once speed reaches a certain level, a difference of a fraction of a second can be a gap that leaves many in despair.

Just like the 9.58-second world record, which has been held for nearly twenty years without being broken; many top international athletes born in these years can only sigh in frustration before this figure.

And now.

Su Xin had actually reached 3.6 seconds for the 100 meters.

This is an extremely exaggerated figure.

One must know that before, when Su Xin injected Tianji No. 1 and his physical fitness reached three times that of an ordinary person, his 100-meter run time was only about seven seconds.

Two and a half seconds faster than the world record.

And now, after equipping the Tianlong Battle Armor, the 100-meter time was directly reduced by more than three seconds again, and the speed was increased by two times!

It is more than three times faster than an ordinary person!

A smile appeared on the corner of Su Xin's mouth, and he said:

"Let's go, continue to test the other data."

The steel-like face of the Tianlong Battle Armor perfectly displayed Su Xin's smile.

The two walked toward a building not far away.

This is a test site that Tianqi Group bought land to build, specifically used for Su Xin to test various weapons, equipment, and so on.

Strength, speed, reaction speed, destructive effect, flight capability, etc., all have specialized equipment and venues for testing.

Su Xin did not intend to hide the matter of the Bio-Armor from the outside world at all, so these tests were conducted semi-publicly.

Not long after.

Su Xin successively finished the other various tests.

His single-arm strength reached three tons.

His limit punch speed exceeded sixty meters per second.

The maximum kinetic energy of his punch was 5.4 million joules, equivalent to the energy released by 1.4 kilograms of TNT or nearly 30 high-explosive grenades.

And one kilogram of TNT can blow up a two-story building.

That is to say.

Su Xin, equipped with the Tianlong Battle Armor, can also easily collapse a two-story building with one punch, and hitting a person would be enough to shatter them to pieces.

The strongest aspect is its defensive capability.

The Tianlong Battle Armor can withstand continuous close-range fire from a handgun, with only white spots and some small indentations left on its surface.

But it will quickly recover as before.

This is the characteristic of the Bio-Armor.

Because it is formed by the rapid proliferation of Tianlong Cells, and the Control Hub can automatically regulate the proliferation process and speed, whenever it sustains damage, the Control Hub will rapidly direct the automatic proliferation to repair the damaged area.

It is equivalent to a suit of armor that never breaks.

Strength, speed, defense—all have received an explosive boost!

"This armor is truly powerful!"

Su Xin was full of excitement, looking down at the streamlined, sci-fi-looking armor on his body.

Over his eyes, a layer of transparent, glass-like cuticle covered them, protecting his eyes without affecting his vision in the slightest.

The action of looking down was not hindered by the armor at all; the range of motion of his neck was about the same as usual, not affecting his observation of his surroundings in the slightest.

"Let's test the hardness of the fingernails."

Su Xin extended his right index finger.

Under his mental control, the already slightly sharp fingernail continued to grow a segment, becoming as sharp as a demon's fingertip.

He placed his fingertip on his left arm, pressed down hard, and slashed forward fiercely.

"Ssh!"

A slightly harsh sound rang out.

A faint sensation of pain traveled from his left arm to the Control Hub at his right collarbone, and was then clearly fed back to Su Xin, as if this were not a layer of armor he was wearing, but his own arm.

Likewise, when his right fingertip brushed across his left arm, he could clearly feel a hard, stone-like texture.

The Bio-Armor, as the name suggests, is essentially a cell cluster stacked from living Tianlong Cells; it can grow and perceive, somewhat similar to an alternative type of parasite.

It is just that its brain is the Control Hub developed by Su Xin, and its energy comes from Su Xin's body.

"Then, let's test next whether the Bio-Armor will enter the Godspeed state along with me."

Thinking this, Su Xin dismissed the young man in the white robe and stood alone in the room, his mind stirring:

"Godspeed, ten times!"

Everything in the outside world slowed down.

Su Xin issued a command with his mind again.

"Fingernails, continue to grow!"

Su Xin's gaze was full of anticipation.

If the Tianlong Battle Armor did not stay synchronized with him, then under his command, the growth speed of the fingernails would be the same as all other objects in the outside world, slowing down ten times in his perception.

Conversely, the growth speed of the fingernails would be the same as what he had just seen.

And under Su Xin's gaze.

The fingernails on his right hand rapidly extended forward.

The speed was exactly the same as before.

Su Xin's face immediately lit up with joy.

"It seems that the Tianlong Battle Armor is indeed staying synchronized with me; when I accelerate, the Tianlong Battle Armor also accelerates by the same factor accordingly."

"This makes things easy!"

This was indeed good news for Su Xin.

On one hand, since the Tianlong Battle Armor accelerates in sync, the 2.6 seconds required to equip the armor is not a problem for Su Xin at all.

Even if he suddenly encounters an attack, as long as Su Xin can react, a single thought allows him to enter the Godspeed state and then begin equipping the armor.

The 2.6 seconds he spends equipping the armor is just a fleeting moment to the outside world, as if it were completed in the blink of an eye.

On the other hand.

After the armor is damaged, he can also enter the Godspeed state, which is equivalent to letting the armor heal instantly.

Furthermore, the fact that the Tianlong Battle Armor can accelerate in sync also means that Su Xin can enjoy the armor's boost just as he does in his normal state, even remaining at ease in the Ten Thousand Times God Speed state.

Otherwise, the inherent toughness of the Tianlong Battle Armor might be ineffective for Su Xin in the Ten Thousand Times God Speed state, becoming as rigid as steel.

"Sure enough, after merging with my cells, the Tianlong Battle Armor also possesses a part of my characteristics."

"When my own bio-electricity is transmitted to the Control Hub and then to the Tianlong Battle Armor, it is equivalent to treating the Tianlong Battle Armor as a part of my body."

"That is why it can enjoy the boost of Godspeed."

"In other words, my Godspeed Ability might be related to my own bio-electricity..."

"I must study this carefully in the future."

Su Xin pondered secretly.

Using the scales on the surface of the alien Iris as raw material, and through special technology fused with cancer cells, it gained the ability to proliferate infinitely; this type of cell is called a Tianlong Cell by Su Xin.

Tianlong Cells cannot be used directly to cultivate the Tianlong Battle Armor; they need to be fused with the host's cells to be controlled by the host.

This brand-new type of cell.

Is called a Tianlong Cell by Su Xin.

To a certain extent, Tianlong Cells are actually the host's cells, and the Tianlong Battle Armor formed by the proliferation of Tianlong Cells is also a part of the host's body.

It counts as a special limb.

It is just that this special limb is controlled by the Control Hub, can grow infinitely, and does not participate in the body's internal circulation, somewhat similar to human fingernails or hair.

After a series of tests ended.

Su Xin moved his mind.

The dark green armor all over his body suddenly weathered into fine particles, drifted away with the wind, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

This is the command from the Control Hub, causing the tightly arranged Tianlong Cells to all disperse.

Cells are particles invisible to the naked eye.

Once dispersed, they vanish from human sight in the blink of an eye, and immediately afterward, they rapidly die due to the loss of nutrients.

"Thud!"

After the Tianlong Battle Armor dissipated, Su Xin stumbled and fell weakly to the ground.

"Damn it! I didn't expect the nutrient consumption to be this exaggerated after transforming for so long for the first time."

Su Xin gave a helpless, bitter smile, summoned the young man in the white robe back inside, and had him support Su Xin as he returned to the office to rest.
