Chapter 120: Xi Zhao

Meanwhile, as more people who were present at West Lake came forward to share their experiences online and uploaded additional footage from that time; even the Hangcheng Heavenly Selection Bureau organized the surveillance footage from that moment, adjusted the video clarity, edited it, and uploaded all the videos to the internet.

Everyone learned the entire process.

They saw the boy who stood up to protect his mother and younger sister, saw Ye Xuan transform in front of him after the boy said he loved Yanlong Xia the most, and saw the Yanlong Xia action figure and the Snow Ape Armor summoner that Ye Xuan gave the boy in the end.

However, none of this was the key point.

The most critical point was that, under the confirmation of the Heavenly Selection Bureau, the boy's surname was "Xi"!

His family were descendants of Ximen Bao, a famous minister of the State of Wei during the Warring States period; in later dynasties, the compound surname "Ximen" was simplified to "Xi".

Furthermore, because the boy's father loved watching tokusatsu dramas and particularly liked Xi Zhao from Armor Hero, he named his son "Zhao".

This was also why the boy's mother called him "A-Zhao".

Xi Zhao! Xi Zhao! Xi Zhao!

If this had happened before the resurgence of spiritual energy, no matter what he was called, it would have had no impact on anyone else; at most, friends who had watched Armor Hero in the future might have given him nicknames like "Snow Ape Xia" because of his name;

but now, due to various coincidences, especially the fact that Ye Xuan, the "Master of the Fire Armor of this era," had given him the Snow Ape Armor summoner and told him that one day in the future, he too might become an Armor Hero.

It was truly hard not to doubt whether he would become an Armor Hero in the future.

Moreover, after their testing, they found that this child named Xi Zhao and his younger sister had both awakened supernatural abilities, and the strength of these abilities was not weak, far exceeding what was appropriate for their ages.

It was only because of their parents' reasons that they were not allowed to use them, combined with the children's own forgetfulness; over time, they themselves forgot that they had awakened supernatural abilities.

The supernatural ability awakened by this "Xi Zhao" was precisely the manipulation of the metal element.

At this point, even among the people of the Heavenly Selection Bureau, more than one suspected that he might truly become an Armor Hero in the future and gain the recognition of the Snow Ape Armor.

And after obtaining the consent of the boy's mother, they also announced this news.

Although the situation was still far from certain, such coincidences were indeed worth sharing;

for Great Xia, on this day of spiritual energy resurgence, any news that could inspire people and make everyone hold hope for the future was extremely good.

In the beast tide caused by the spiritual energy tide, even though the number of people sacrificed by Great Xia was only a tiny minority, for the victims and their relatives, it was a one hundred percent disaster.

In such matters, they had no way to offer comfort; true empathy did not exist in the world, so they could only let everyone place their hope in the future, expecting that one day in the future, when Great Xia produced a powerful enough expert capable of resurrecting the dead, or an existence possessing the ability to resurrect the dead, the originally deceased could be reborn.

This was to ensure they did not feel lost about the future or despair about the world, and to live every day well in place of the deceased.

The setting of the Light and Shadow Armor having no upper limit, combined with the fact that the armor summoner themselves could become extraordinary in this era, and after obtaining the armor, could unleash even greater power from it; in a sense, the Light and Shadow Armor itself represented immense power.

Although it could not resurrect the dead, it could prevent more people from dying.

Even if the summoner of the Snow Ape Armor in the future turned out not to be this little boy, it would not matter; they would hold expectations regarding this point, but would absolutely not place pressure on the other party.

Because everyone knew that the selection of a master by the treasures of the myriad heavens tested luck the most, not qualifications.

Moreover, given "Xi Zhao's" talent, even if he could not become the summoner of the Snow Ape Armor in the future, he could still become a powerful supernatural ability user.

"Wait, this is only the first day of the month! You're giving me such a huge deal?"

"The Director of the Imperial Capital Heavenly Selection General Bureau scolded me for an hour, do you know? An hour!"

"He said that as your contract holder, I didn't care enough about you, and didn't even know you had obtained the Yanlong Armor."

"How was I supposed to know? How could I know something you didn't tell me!"

Su Su Mengyao was venting on the phone at this moment; her tone of gritted teeth made people suspect she was about to kill the Director of the Imperial Capital Heavenly Selection General Bureau in the next second.

As for whether she was truly this angry or simply expressing emotions to prepare for the upcoming question, Ye Xuan knew very well.

"If you want to ask something, ask directly; there's no need to go through so much background and consequences."

Ye Xuan said calmly.

"Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from you, so I'll ask directly then."

After hearing Ye Xuan's words, Su Su Mengyao chuckled and stopped complaining about the Director of the Imperial Capital Heavenly Selection Bureau.

"When did you obtain the Yanlong Armor summoner?"

She was truly curious about this point.

Although in her memory Ye Xuan had already obtained many treasures of the myriad heavens, whether it was the template of Wangquan Baye, the fragments of the Four Souls Jewel, the spatial ring, or "Mountain Girl," none could compare to the Yanlong Armor.

Oh, no, actually "Shan Nv" could.

If it possessed the ability to travel through time and space, let alone compare to the Yanlong Armor, surpassing the Yanlong Armor would be a very simple matter.

After all, if the function of time and space travel appeared in reality, its significance was something that could not be clearly explained in just a little bit.

Even the ability to mass-produce "Crown Prince" was enough to make the value of "Mountain Girl" comparable to the Yanlong Armor.

But the problem was that regardless of "time and space travel" or "producing Crown Prince," "Shan Nv" could not do either of these two things, so its value was naturally pitifully small.

Moreover, Su Su Mengyao discovered that Ye Xuan seemed to not use "Shan Nv" much recently; when she went to the villa before, she didn't see the existence of "Shan Nv" either.

Su Mengyao, who was the manifestation of the Rat Talisman, didn't know the specific reason; these thoughts flashed through her mind and vanished instantly, with her attention shifting more to the Yanlong Armor.

The Yanlong Armor was indeed somewhat special.

You could say that in the drama Armor Hero, the power of the Yanlong Armor was not great; in reality, at best it would only be Tier Three, and except for the Zen Seal which was somewhat buggy, there was nothing worth praising; but that was mainly because the armor summoner themselves were ordinary people.

No matter how special their bloodlines were, or how deep the concentration was, they were still ordinary people, and in every aspect had not exceeded the limits of ordinary people.

But if placed in reality, at least according to their estimates, even if the summoner themselves were only Tier Two, they might still be able to obtain power no less than Tier Four by summoning the armor.

And Ye Xuan, who had reached Tier Five before transforming, under the state of the Yanlong Armor, his strength was very likely to have reached Tier Six, or even infinitely close to Tier Seven.

As for whether he could truly reach Tier Seven, they still thought it was unlikely.
