Chapter 96: Rank 9 Soul Tool Armor! The Li Family Underground Empire!

Dugu Bo and Li Fei, who had not met for almost a year, met again.

Dugu Bo showed Li Fei the results of these past months.

"Congratulations, Lao Du Wu, you now have the basic condition to advance to rank 98 Super Douluo." Li Fei said while sipping tea.

"I also owe it to your cultivation method; otherwise it would be hard."

"Even with a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, the difficulty of advancing to rank 98 is still too great."

"I plan to go into the secular world for a while; perhaps I can gain some insight."

Dugu Bo said.

"Sure, now the basic foundation of the Li family's internal and external industries has stabilized, and both the overt and covert aspects have developed."

"You can go with peace of mind."

Li Fei nodded.

Dugu Bo handed a scale to Li Fei: "This is my dragon scale; if the Li family encounters something you cannot resolve, crush it, and I will arrive immediately after sensing it."

Li Fei took it and handed a token to Dugu Bo: "This is a transport token I developed; infusing it with soul power creates a temporary transport formation, allowing you to teleport to any formation I have set up."

"All formations are interconnected."

Li Fei gave another reminder.

"Tsk tsk, this is really convenient and handy."

"Little monster, you're really something."

Dugu Bo quickly took it.

He especially likes anything Li Fei develops.

"This is my insight from breaking through to rank 97 Title Douluo; take a look—it should greatly help your future progress."

Dugu Bo pulled an ancient-looking book from his soul tool ring and handed it to Li Fei.

It records all his insights from breaking through from a one-ring soul master to the peak rank 97 Super Douluo.

Such insights are one of the most precious things for any soul master; the fact that Dugu Bo has produced them shows how much he values and trusts Li Fei.

"You've given me all this; perfect—I've also prepared some good stuff to boost your strength. Come with me, let me show you a surprise."

Li Fei smiled mysteriously.

"Oh? Good." Dugu Bo felt a bit anticipatory.

They entered an underground secret chamber.

The layout and architecture here are relatively modern.

Here are the Li family's personnel who develop soul tools.

After Li Fei and Dugu Bo entered, these people all saluted.

"Hmm, keep working."

Li Fei nodded in satisfaction.

After receiving permission, they continued their research.

They passed through a thick gate and entered inside.

At the moment the lights lit up.

A set of extremely domineering, cool-looking exoskeleton armor appeared before the two.

The exoskeleton, initially balanced with blood-red, seven absolutes, azure and other colors, looks very good.

"What is this?!"

Dugu Bo was shocked.

"This is rank 9 soul tool armor, the latest research success of the development department, and also made by my hands."

"Wearing it, your strength can soar to the demi-god level."

Li Fei introduced: "Its material is special, its hardness is also extremely terrifying; even an ordinary demi-god cannot easily break its defense, so in a sense you hold the advantage."

"So awesome?!" Dugu Bo was shocked.

These days they have been researching the soul tool armor series, aiming to equip the Li family army with it; even if your soul power is not high, wearing the soul tool armor can terrifyingly boost your combat power.

Of course, this rank 9 soul tool armor is currently the highest grade.

However, through Li Fei's hair-growing power, it can also be mass-produced.

The reason not everyone is equipped with it is naturally due to his considerations.

Truly good things are naturally valuable because they are rare.

Only those who have made major contributions to the Li family are eligible to receive high-grade allocations; otherwise they get low-grade ones.

"Yes, that's how awesome it is; this armor was already prepared for you long ago, only you were in seclusion, so giving it to you now is the same." "But armor is ultimately an external object; permanently increasing one's soul power is the proper path."

"Like other soul tool weapons, after dripping blood it can be freely stored inside the body; when you want to use it, you can summon it, and in a passive state it can actively protect the flesh from attack."

Li Fei said.

"Tsk tsk, amazing, too amazing!" After hearing this, Dugu Bo stared wide-eyed.

Next, Dugu Bo followed Li Fei's words and began to operate.

Dripping blood into the armor.

Immediately afterward, he could resonate with it.

In the next second, the armor's pieces came together and adhered to his body.

Quickly allowing him to complete the armor's integration.

After activation, the armor became even more handsome, vivid, and lifelike.

He has already equipped this armor for his grandfather Li Yunsong, father Li Jianguo, mother Su Lan, fiancée Du Gu Yan, and steward Li Fu Bo.

Besides that, it's Dugu Bo's turn.

Next, he needs to properly study the level 10 soul tool armor.

This is a trump card that can truly allow himself to possess godlike combat power.

After acquiring these trump cards, he no longer needs to overly fear those forces of the Spirit Hall.

The soul tool weapon will not remain hidden for long; it will soon move from the shadows into the light.

These armor technologies are too advanced to be easily exposed.

Li Fei remained steady and did not get carried away.

This is the steady composure a leader should have.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to bear great responsibilities.

"I have already broken through to level seventy; I will go hunt for the seventh soul ring shortly," Li Fei said.

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Dugu Bo was not surprised.

An eight-year-old, rank seventy Soul Sage.

It's simply off the charts, absurd to the extreme.

"No need; even if I encounter a 100,000-year spirit beast, I can still kill it."

"Just focus on experiencing the mundane world," Li Fei said.

Over these months, he has not devoted all his thoughts to meditation; instead, he has constantly been arranging affairs both internally and externally.

"Good." Dugu Bo nodded.

Before leaving, he went to see Du Gu Yan, Li Yunsong, and others.

He discovered that Li Yunsong's soul power had already broken through to Title Douluo.

Li Jianguo and Su Lan have also reached the Soul Sage level.

In just about a year, they achieved this; only Li Fei could have done it—anyone else would have been impossible.

Thus the Li family has gained the ability to cultivate a large batch of elite offensive-defensive integrated soul masters in a short time.

Moreover, the Li family's wealth has reached an astonishingly huge amount.

Externally, the Li family also possesses its own bank.

There is also a dedicated space for storing large quantities of Gold Soul Coins and the rest of their wealth.

They are filthy rich.

A Li family empire known to few has silently developed in the shadows.

From an obscure Soul Emperor family, it has developed into today's powerful underground empire.

This took only about two years.

This speed is simply monstrous and abnormal.

The true core lies in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well; outward representatives, unless truly chosen as internal Li family members, are not that important—they are replaceable and can be ordered to serve the Li family at any time.

Moreover, the Li family has not put all its eggs in one basket; instead, it has built second, third, fourth, and many more headquarters bases in various remote locations.

These places may someday be used.

Moreover, it is currently also one of the Li family's major granaries for food resources research and development.
