Chapter 121: The Armor's Requirement for Choosing a Master: Equivalent Exchange

After all, in their judgment, Tier Seven was enough to destroy the surface of Blue Star, and not in the way previously judged by relying on time and continuously using abilities; it was enough to destroy the surface of Blue Star in a single strike.

Whether it was a casual strike or a strike with all one's might, it would do, but it must be a single strike.

However, whether it was Tier Six or Tier Seven, to them it was actually the same.

Because this meant that the power humanity currently possessed could not threaten the opponent, and they could not even achieve mutual destruction.

In this situation, who would really care whether the other party had reached Tier Seven?

They only had one Blue Star; if the surface of Blue Star was gone, could humanity still exist?

Why did the Director of the Tianshu General Bureau in the Imperial Capital reprimand Su Mengyao? Actually, Tier Five and Tier Six were truly different for them.

Tier Five, at least they could still resist a bit; overturning the table was uncertain, but at least they had the ability to negotiate at the same table; but Tier Six, that was truly nonexistent.

If Ye Xuan now said to them, "I don't eat beef," no one could say anything.

The gap in strength was too great.

Unless Old Zhong could raise the compatibility with the Emperor Emperor Yanwang template to one hundred percent, otherwise, it was hard to say.

"Today."

"Hmm? What did you say?"

Su Su Mengyao heard Ye Xuan's words with a confused look; no, today?

"Are you saying you only obtained the Flame Dragon Armor summoner today?"

"Wait, I saw online that the boss of a shop at West Lake in Hangcheng said he sold you a rock for two hundred yuan today."

Could it be that what that boss said was true?

"Yes, it was that rock."

Ye Xuan nodded.

Su Su Mengyao's mouth gaped wide, her phone almost slipping from her hand; her brain raced, trying to digest this information that was absurd to the extreme.

So the reason Ye Xuan appeared at West Lake was not because he sensed the aura of the mutated pythons at the bottom of West Lake, but simply because he went to West Lake to buy something?

And the thing he bought just happened to be the Ninja Stone from Hero's World?

"Wait, wait, wait..."

Su Su Mengyao rubbed her temples, then asked somewhat strangely:

"So did you go to West Lake specifically to find this rock because you felt something? Or did you go to West Lake to see the scenery or buy some things, and then happened to see the Ninja Stone and discover its special nature?"

If it was the latter, then it was truly just a coincidence, a coincidence of luck; but if it was the former, then it meant the Ninja Stone chose Ye Xuan as the master of the Flame Dragon Armor, which is why it made him feel something.

But although Ye Xuan indeed protected many people, in Su Su Mengyao's eyes, he actually mostly just wanted to do it simply, not to protect anyone.

He was a hero, but he could not be simply defined by the two words "hero."

The standard for the Light and Shadow Armor to choose a master shouldn't be like this, right?

No, no, no, that's not right either; if you say that, the armor summoners in Hero's World also had problems; both Team One and Team Two had some issues.

So was one of the requirements for the armor to choose a master that the master must have personality?

On the other end of the phone, Ye Xuan heard Su Su Mengyao's words and pondered thoughtfully.

"Felt something? That's not a bad way to put it."

The luck attraction of the Hongyun Hongyun Qitian Gu is also a kind of feeling something.

Su Su Mengyao fell silent on the other end of the phone for a full ten seconds.

It really was the Ninja Stone choosing a master.

"Wait, that's not right; you obtained the Ninja Stone, so what's the situation with the Flame Dragon Armor summoner?"

"Where did it come from?"

Su Su Mengyao clearly remembered that in the video, Ye Xuan transformed using the Flame Dragon Armor summoner.

If he obtained the Ninja Stone, where did the Flame Dragon Armor summoner come from?

"Carried on my person."

"You keep that in your spatial ring?"

Su Su Mengyao was somewhat suspicious; did Ye Xuan know that what made her feel something was the Ninja Stone, and that there were two mutated pythons under West Lake, so he specifically prepared the Flame Dragon Armor summoner to transform into Flame Dragon Knight and show off later?

"... This has nothing to do with you."

Ye Xuan said somewhat speechlessly; were you now managing what I put in my spatial ring?

"Has your Tianshu Bureau found any Heavenly Treasures yet?"

"We found a few Devil Fruits, but they were all Devil Fruits of average power; what's up?"

Su Su Mengyao heard Ye Xuan's words and asked with some curiosity.

Heavenly Treasures weren't that easy to find.

Those powerful Heavenly Treasures, the people who found them used them themselves; the ones reported and sold to the Tianshu Bureau were all trash that required a price.

Even the Devil Fruits, which were the easiest to find, the ones turned in were all ones the finders themselves didn't like.

If the ability was uncertain, they were willing to gamble themselves, but if it was confirmed to be trash, then it was trash; they couldn't convince themselves at all.

"Oh, right, there are also seven swords, but you probably don't need them."

Su Su Mengyao remembered the seven swords that had appeared in various places across Great Xia before; however, except for the one in the Imperial Capital Museum, the others already had masters.

Some people were willing to sell after not receiving recognition, but more, even without receiving recognition, wanted to keep them to try on their future children.

The Tianshu Bureau had only collected three swords so far; Ye Xuan probably had no interest in them.

"Seven swords? Which seven?"

Ye Xuan's eyes lit up; although he indeed had no interest in Devil Fruits, he was very interested in the swords Su Su Mengyao mentioned.

Although he already had the Dragon-Slaying Sword and Rurouni, a swordsman's desire for good swords would not diminish because of the swords he already possessed.

His interest in collecting swords was far greater than that for Devil Fruits.

"Have you seen Rainbow Cat and Hongmao Hongmao Lan Tu? Those are the seven swords from it."

"The Long Rainbow Sword, the Ice Soul Sword, the Rain Flower Sword, the Thunder Sword, the Green Light Sword, the Purple Cloud Sword, and the Whirlwind Sword."

"Speaking of which, when those seven swords revived, there were even strange omens in the sky. Though they weren't all that big."

Su Su Mengyao didn't hide anything—there was nothing to hide.

Who was Ye Xuan?

One of only two fifth-tier existences in the Great Xia, whose strength even reached sixth-tier with the boost of the Flame Dragon Armor—arguably the strongest human alive today.

A person like that they couldn't worship enough; what could there possibly be that couldn't be said?

Besides, although the worldview of Rainbow Cat and Hongmao Hongmao Lan Tu wasn't weak, it wasn't strong either. Setting aside the last installment where Rainbow Cat lost all his power and had to cultivate anew, even at his strongest, Rainbow Cat couldn't possibly be as strong as Ye Xuan.

And the strong one was Rainbow Cat himself; although he had some connection to the Long Rainbow Sword, the connection wasn't significant. The same went for the other swords.

"Right, you still haven't said why you're asking this?"

Su Su Mengyao added.

From her understanding of Ye Xuan, if there was nothing going on, Ye Xuan wouldn't ask this kind of question.

"I have two Devil Fruits on hand, but they're useless to me."

"If the Tian Shu Bureau has something I want, we can do an even exchange."

"However, the seven swords—"

Ye Xuan was actually quite interested in them. Although the tier of the Rainbow Cat and Hongmao Hongmao Lan Tu world wasn't considered high, within the Wu Xia genre, it wasn't low either.

And purely as swords, their quality within the Wu Xia genre should rarely be surpassed.
