Chapter 118: The Future World's Strongest, the Light and Shadow Armor with No Upper Limit
"No, I can just look directly!"
The monitor suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing the truth.
Although his main duty was communication dispatch, as an official member of the Tianshu Bureau, he still had the authority to access surveillance footage.
He operated the instrument with lightning speed while muttering to himself:
"Come to think of it, why hasn't Old Wang, who is in charge of monitoring, made a single sound? At this time, shouldn't he be..."
As if remembering something, he turned around and saw the colleague in charge of monitoring standing frozen in his seat like a stunned chicken, his mouth open wide enough to swallow an egg.
Following the other's gaze toward the main screen—
"Hiss"
On the screen, the figure clad in armor as red as fire was slowly sheathing his blade and standing still.
And the entire West Lake seemed to have just experienced a natural disaster; the gash splitting the lake surface had just closed, and the rising steam formed a thick wall of fog.
Mere minutes later, the shocking scene that occurred by the West Lake had already been uploaded to the internet by the onlookers.
In the video, the figure clad in armor as red as fire bathed in a pillar of light reaching the sky, raising his hand to incinerate the mutated white python, and unleashing a blade strike that split the lake and severed the clouds, displaying terrifying momentum that instantly ignited the entire social media platform!
【Trending #1: #The Red Dragon Knight Descends at West Lake#】
【Trending #2: #Is this really the Red Dragon Armor? #】
【Trending #3: #Unleashing the ultimate move at the start of the month? #】
The comment section exploded completely.
"No way, it's only the start of the month! Last month, treasures from the heavens and their holders appeared one after another, and now on the very first day of this month, another one?"
"And it's the Red Dragon Armor?! Can the Red Dragon Armor have this kind of power? So they were all faking it in the show?"
"That pillar of light, don't tell me it's the Red Dragon; even if it were the Emperor, I'd believe it. Can the Red Dragon be this strong?"
"And what the hell is that raising the mutated green python from the bottom of West Lake with a mere hand gesture? Does the Red Dragon Armor have this ability?"
"He just transformed into the Red Dragon Armor; it's not like he only possesses the abilities of the Red Dragon Armor itself. The opponent was obviously a powerhouse before transforming, which is why he could unleash such power from the Red Dragon Armor. If he were just an ordinary person, he would probably be limited to what was shown in the show."
"."
If the direct reason the appearance of Kamen Rider Kuuga caused an uproar online was its identity as a Kamen Rider, then the commotion triggered by the appearance of the Red Dragon Armor was mostly due to the terrifying power it displayed.
A pillar of light dozens of meters high reaching the sky, clouds dyed crimson, a dragon's roar radiating majesty and awe, and the terrifying strength that easily crushed the mutated white python and the mutated green python, two mutated pythons.
That was power that completely overwhelmed the Red Dragon Armor in the show; it even made them feel that if this were the Red Dragon Armor, even the Emperor might not be beyond challenging.
However, they also knew that the power of the Red Dragon Armor itself was one factor; the main reason was that the summoner, as the master of the Red Dragon Armor, was originally a powerhouse.
In the settings of the Light and Shadow Armor, the armor itself has no upper limit; it is only that the focus of the amplification for the armor summoner differs.
For example, the Wind Eagle focuses on speed, the Black Rhino focuses on defense, the Snow Mastiff focuses on strength, and the Red Dragon has the slowest consumption and the most balanced attributes.
But the stronger the summoner's own strength, the stronger the power after summoning the armor.
Summoners can enhance the armor's strength through 【Faith】 and 【Cultivation】.
Faith determines the upper limit; cultivation determines the lower limit.
The former is idealistic; as long as one's own faith is strong enough, even if one's own strength is insufficient, the armor's amplification will increase, though it is not stable enough. Very few summoners can unleash power greater than the armor's normal amplification through pure faith alone.
The latter is materialistic; through the summoner's own cultivation, improving oneself, possessing greater power than before while the armor maintains its basic amplification.
Although such improvement is relatively slow, it wins on stability.
The summoner of the Red Dragon Armor in the video obviously did not unleash such powerful strength through idealism; those two mutated white pythons were not enough to cause any emotional impact on him.
Unless he was General Duanmu, possessing an extremely firm will to exterminate mutated creatures.
Therefore, the most likely possibility is that the opponent's own strength was extremely powerful, at least reaching the fourth tier, which is why the process of summoning the armor could unleash such terrifying momentum, even comparable to the Emperor.
"But doesn't summoning the Light and Shadow Armor require the Five Elements bloodline? Without the bloodline, even with the Light and Shadow Stone, one cannot summon it, let alone the summoner device."
"It must be that the armor summoner device underwent certain changes after appearing in our world. Kamen Rider Kuuga needed a belt to transform, yet it came with one automatically during the transformation process."
"So transforming into Light and Shadow Armor no longer requires a bloodline? The Emperor too? Does that mean that in the future, as long as I obtain the Emperor Armor's transformation device, even without a bloodline, I can transform into the Ultimate Emperor?"
"Only Zi Yang needs a transformation device, right? Who needs a transformation device to transform into the normal Emperor? Can't you just shout it? Doge. jpg"
"Alright, stop dreaming. I just want to know who this person who obtained the Red Dragon Armor is. Being able to display such power with the Red Dragon, and it is obviously the result of extreme restraint, his strength is at least fourth tier. Besides Ye Shen, this fifth-tier powerhouse in Hangcheng, is there really another fourth-tier powerhouse?"
"Case solved. It's Ye Shen. When Ye Shen left, he was recognized by people from the Tianshu Bureau; damn it, I didn't even recognize him!"
After that initial inquiry, a tourist from West Lake came forward to testify: the summoner of the Red Dragon Armor was no one else; it was indeed Ye Shen.
"???"
"It really is Ye Shen. Did Ye Shen gain the recognition of the Red Dragon Armor?"
"No? No matter how you think about it, it should be that Ye Shen obtained the Red Dragon summoner device, not the recognition of the Red Dragon Armor. Recognition is like the Kuuga Insect Zector directly seeking out Ye Shen, but the Light and Shadow Armor is purely whoever obtains it can transform."
"In the show, they at least looked at bloodline; in reality, they don't even look anymore."
"So after Ye Shen obtained the Overlord of Domination template, surpassed the Overlord of Domination template, and stepped into the fifth tier, he also obtained the Red Dragon Armor with no upper limit?"
"I really feel now that Ye Shen in the future is the number one person of Great Xia, oh no, of humanity."
"Wuwuwu, I was just saying why the other person looked so familiar; it turns out it's Ye Shen. Aaaaaah, my Ninja Stone! I sold it for two hundred!"
"Hmm? Tell me more!"
"."
The internet, which was already in an uproar due to the appearance of the Red Dragon Armor and the terrifying power it displayed, became even more sensational now that it was known that the summoner of that Red Dragon Armor was Ye Xuan, one of the only two fifth-tier powerhouses in Great Xia.
There was even a boss who claimed to be selling Ye Xuan's Ninja Stone, coming forward to testify, stating that he gave Ye Xuan the opportunity to transform into the Red Dragon Knight, and he only sold it for two hundred yuan.
Although the process was described in great detail, even down to which shop, and the location tag indeed showed West Lake in Hangcheng, many people still did not believe it.
There was no other reason; it was simply because Ye Xuan used the Red Dragon Armor's summoner device to transform. It was impossible that buying the stone would also come with the armor transformation device, right?
