Chapter 232: Emperor Armor—but Double

Without a word, Dong Shan charged forward: “Bei Miao, what are Itachi trying to do?”

The scene grew chaotic, gradually escalating into physical altercations.

Mei Zhen rubbed her temples and sighed: “Can Itachi two please be quiet?”

“Let me finish.”

Only then did Dong Shan and Bei Miao stop arguing and turn to look at her.

Mei Zhen continued: “That man can transform into the Earth Tiger Armor and also the Black Rhino Armor—he can use more than one Light-Shade Stone, possibly possessing bloodlines from multiple villages.”

At that moment, Xin Nan finally spoke: “When we encountered that man, he transformed into the legendary Emperor Armor and instantly killed four psychic beasts—his power is terrifying.”

“He likely knows more than any of us, and he seems to be collecting Light-Shade Stones and sealing psychic beasts as well.”

Mei Zhen nodded: “So far, he shows no ill intent—he appears to be searching for Light-Shade Stones, sealing psychic beasts, and protecting ordinary people.”

“I’ve already informed my brother about this. Let’s hear his opinion.”

Mei Zhen’s brother, Dr. Garu, is a renowned scientist who once worked alongside King Karon, accidentally obtained the Fire Shadow Stone and Wood Shadow Stone, discovered the legendary Light-Shade Armors, and established the ERP Research Lab.

Dong Shan proposed: “We should make contact with him.”

Bei Miao immediately objected: “No—I must reclaim my Water Shadow Stone.”

Dong Shan sneered: “Are Itachi sure Itachi don’t just want him to beat Itachi again?”

Bei Miao flew into a rage: “Shut up!”

Just as the two began arguing again, Xin Nan suddenly stood up and said calmly:

“I’m going home.”

As he walked out, he didn’t look back: “I still have a piano competition to practice for.”

Xin Nan is a pianist, constantly busy with practice and piano competitions, and often absent from training and battles.

Now that he’s seen a civilian like Luo Jie who can summon Emperor Armor,

he feels even more at ease.

All he wants now is to return home and practice for the upcoming piano competition.

Mei Zhen watched his retreating back and sighed, saying nothing more.

Dong Shan looked bewildered: “He just left like that?”

Mei Zhen said helplessly: “Same as always.”

Bei Miao asked, frustrated: “What about my Water Shadow Stone?”

Mei Zhen shrugged: “Maybe Itachi could try contacting him for peaceful negotiations.”

Bei Miao sneered: “Itachi think he’ll give it back to Itachi?”

Mei Zhen smiled: “At least don’t let him beat Itachi again.”

…

In the Shadow Realm, Black Emperor was nearly broken.

“My four ancient psychic beasts!”

“Just… dead?”

He couldn’t accept this reality.

Those were legendary ancient beasts!

Normally, they should have crushed the Armor Warriors underfoot.

But now…

One sword, one child—easily wiped out.

Black Emperor was utterly shattered, as if reality had beaten him senseless.

He even recalled his days as a trash collector.

At that moment, Black Emperor summoned the four remaining unsealed Shadow Guardians.

He gritted his teeth and demanded: “Who? Who did this? Who is this Emperor Armor summoner?”

Evil Fire Guardian stood aside and spoke up:

“It’s fine—it’s just a few psychic beasts.”

“They died? So what? It’s not the first time.”

“Besides, no matter how strong he is, he can’t stand against our numbers.”

Hearing this, Black Emperor calmed down somewhat.

Right—I still have four Shadow Guardians and dozens of psychic beasts.

“Good!”

Black Emperor regained his villainous arrogance.

“Then arrange it immediately.”

“Let heroes fight heroes, let champions fight champions, let Armor Summoners fight Armor Summoners.”

“Send out Shadow King, King Karon, and the Snow Lynx Armor Summoner—all of them.”

“I don’t believe the Emperor Hero can withstand this many attackers at once.”

The four Shadow Guardians bowed deeply and replied in unison:

“Yes, Boss!”

…

Several days later, morning sunlight spilled into the living room.

Luo Jie sat at the dining table, eating breakfast while offering paternal concern to Xiangyang:

“Are Itachi adjusting to the new school? Made any new friends? Found a girl Itachi like?”

Xiangyang stared at his food, silent as always.

After a few seconds, he spoke slowly: “Can Itachi not send me to school in the sports car today?”

“Let ShaNü just take me.”

“The teachers keep asking if your dad is some big entrepreneur.”

“It’s too conspicuous.”

Luo Jie nearly choked on his soy milk.

Holy hell!

This kid, so young, already knows how to keep a low profile and play dumb to ambush others?

Still, he understood—his sports car always drew a crowd at school.

So Luo Jie nodded: “Fine. From now on, ShaNü will take Itachi to school.”

After breakfast, ShaNü took Xiangyang’s hand and stepped out the door.

Just as they reached the corner of the street,

a dangerous aura suddenly filled the air.

At the end of the street, the four Shadow Guardians moved in unison.

Behind them stood Xi Zhao and Bing’er as well.

Several psychic beasts stirred restlessly.

Evil Fire Guardian spotted Xiangyang and ShaNü and said:

“That child is the Emperor Armor Summoner’s kid.”

“Grab him—we can use him to threaten the Emperor Armor Summoner.”

After speaking, he turned to Xizhao: "Itachi go and do it."

Xi Zhao frowned: “I never target children.”

Seeing Xi Zhao wouldn’t obey, Evil Fire ordered the psychic beasts to act.

The Lizard Beast and Toad Beast immediately lunged at Xiangyang and ShaNü.

But just as they neared,

ShaNü’s eyes turned cold, her figure flashed forward, and she charged straight at them.

“Boom!”

She kicked the Lizard Beast flying with one foot.

Then, with a single punch, she sent the Toad Beast stumbling back.

Bing’er’s pupils shrank in shock: “What?”

“A normal human can directly clash with psychic beasts?”

Xi Zhao was equally stunned.

Seeing this, Evil Fire Guardian flew into a rage: “Damn it! Itachi all—attack her together!”

The remaining psychic beasts surged forward, preparing to overwhelm ShaNü.

But at that exact moment, a brilliant golden light erupted from Xiangyang’s body.

The next second, Xiangyang vanished—replaced by Emperor Hero.

Evil Fire Guardian was utterly stunned: “What’s going on?”

“That kid can also transform into Emperor Hero?”

He immediately ordered Xi Zhao: “Quick—stop him!”

Xi Zhao hesitated, then gritted his teeth and pressed the belt buckle:

“Snow Lynx Hero—merge!”

Xizhao transformed into Snow Mastiff Hero and charged toward Xiangyang.

The battle was about to begin!

Meanwhile, Luo Jie suddenly received an emergency call from ShaNiu.

“Brother Luo Jie, we’ve encountered a power beast.”

Luo Jie immediately set out.

Although he believed that Xiangyang, having transformed into Emperor Hero, could crush power beasts with a single punch,

he still decided it was better to go to the scene himself to avoid any mishaps.
