Chapter 315: Synthesizing Defensive Equipment!

This kind of life is truly wonderful; Lu Jing really wishes time could stay frozen at this moment.

But unfortunately, tomorrow morning he will have to say goodbye to this tranquil life.

"Tomorrow I'll slip away secretly; I mustn't let Ranqingmo discover it..."

Lu Jing thought this silently in his heart.

That way, not only can he shake off the other party, but also leave a strong fighting force for his family.

If the military's bodyguards encounter any trouble then, Ranqingmo can also protect Lu Haitao and Feng Qinru's safety.

Thinking of his family's safety, Lu Jing's eyes lit up.

If I recall correctly, at a previous banquet someone gave a few protective soft armors and a copy of an entry‑level sword technique.

Can these two items be synthesized?

If you say do it, we do it!

Lu Jing sprang up from the bed, using his mental power to precisely locate three protective soft armors.

They are called protective soft armor, yet they look no different from ordinary clothing.

Only that within the garment's layers are some hard plates of unknown material, with very high strength.

With a slight force, Lu Jing bent those hard plates into deformation.

"It can resist some damage, but not much; with this plate's strength, ordinary Martial Artists cannot break it—only those above the Warrior Realm might, but..."

Lu Jing sighed; this thing is similar to Blue Star's bulletproof vest—it can only block penetrating wounds, while subsequent attack force can only be slightly reduced.

After all, Martial Artists' attacks are mostly punches and kicks; striking a body is no different from being hit with a hammer.

When an ordinary person wears this protective soft armor and takes a punch, the armor remains fine, but the person's chest may already be dented...

"We can only hope in the synthesis slot; as long as synthesis is possible, infinite possibilities arise."

Lu Jing no longer hesitated and directly placed two protective soft armors into the synthesis slot.

Soon, a line of small text appeared beneath the synthesis slot.

【Ordinary protective soft armor: wearable equipment made from high‑strength adhesive silk; after wearing, it reduces damage caused by the Martial Artist Realm by twenty percent... Main materials: adhesive silk, high‑strength steel, etc.】

【Ordinary protective soft armor ×2, synthesis requires 10 Colorless Crystal Blocks!】

"Synthesize!"

As Lu Jing clicked synthesize, a barely perceptible amount of stamina was drained.

【Synthesis complete, consumed 10 Colorless Crystal Blocks, obtained Premium protective soft armor ×1!】

【Premium protective soft armor: wearable equipment woven from advanced space silk; after wearing, it reduces damage caused by the Martial Artist Realm by forty percent... Main components: premium space silk, high‑strength alloy plates, etc.】

"It upgraded from ordinary grade to premium, the weight lightened considerably, and the defense actually doubled..."

Lu Jing held a vest‑style garment in his hand, examining it curiously.

"This thing can cut almost half of a Martial Artist's damage; why hadn't I heard of such a thing before—maybe it hasn't been produced yet?"

Lu Jing immediately turned on his computer, first photographing the soft armor in his hand, then searching by image.

Soon, Lu Jing found an identical picture of the soft armor.

"This is a high‑quality protective soft armor developed and produced by Tianyi Martial Hall, capable of reducing a Martial Artist's damage by about half, priced at nine million yuan..."

"No wonder I hadn't heard of it; such a useless thing sells for nine million."

Lu Jing clicked his tongue lightly; the reason he called it useless is that ordinary people can't afford it, and the rich don't want it.

That nine million could directly hire a Martial Artist to provide close protection for a dozen years; why buy this thing?

But since Tianyi Martial Hall has stock, it's quite convenient.

Lu Jing only has three protective soft armors in hand; two were used for synthesis, leaving only the last one.

"Hey, Zhang Qingyang?"

Lu Jing dialed the phone of Tianyi Martial Hall director Zhang Qingyang.

"It's me, it's me. Brother Lu Jing, congratulations on winning the Champion of the Martial Way Tournament! I was there when you stepped onto the stage to duel; my throat was almost hoarse from shouting!"

Zhang Qingyang's voice came out, excited yet obsequiously flattering.

Lu Jing didn't engage in small talk, jumping straight to the point: "Does Tianyi Martial Hall have the protective soft armor that claims to cut a Martial Artist's attack by half?"

"Yes, we have it! It just launched a few months ago, the price was set too high and it hasn't sold," Zhang Qingyang chuckled: "Brother Lu Jing, why are you asking about this?"

"How much stock do you have? I need a batch."

Lu Jing did a quick calculation: one each for Lu Haitao, Feng Qinru, and Lu Leyi, each to be synthesized four times, plus the three from the gift, totaling a need for 45 soft armors.

"Easy, easy!"

When Zhang Qingyang heard Lu Jing would be taking care of his business, his tone rose: "Tianyi Martial Hall currently has fifteen pieces in stock. Is that enough? If not, I can request transfer from other halls."

"Send thirteen first, I need them now, deliver to my house."

Lu Jing thought it over and decided to order thirteen first, synthesize four times to test the effect, so as not to overbuy.

"Alright, Brother Lu Jing, you have our half‑price discount, so the total is 58.5 million; I'll knock off a zero and make it 58 million for you!"

Zhang Qingyang said with a smile.

From his tone one could hear that even with the half‑price, he still makes a hefty profit.

Half an hour later, a truck parked at Lu Jing's villa entrance.

Zhang Qingyang personally delivered the goods and also brought some gifts.

Lu Jing, eager to synthesize, didn't keep him; after a few pleasantries he went upstairs.

"Continue, continue!"

Lu Jing opened the newly arrived thirteen protective soft armors, added the one left at home, and placed them all into the synthesis slot.

【Ordinary protective soft armor: wearable equipment made from high‑strength adhesive silk; after wearing, it reduces damage caused by the Martial Artist Realm by twenty percent... Main materials: adhesive silk, high‑strength steel, etc.】

【Ordinary protective soft armor ×14, synthesis requires 70 Colorless Crystal Blocks!】

"Synthesize!"

As Lu Jing clicked synthesize, a stream of stamina much more obvious than before was drawn out.

【Synthesis complete, consumed Colorless Crystal Block*70, obtained Fine Protective Soft Armor*7!】

After the synthesis slot stopped operating, Lu Jing did not hesitate, and put all the Fine Protective Soft Armor back in.

【Fine Protective Soft Armor*8, synthesis requires spending 120 Colorless Crystal Blocks!】

"Synthesize!"

【Synthesis complete, consumed Colorless Crystal Block*120, obtained Superior Protective Soft Armor*4!】

【Superior Protective Soft Armor: Made from the silk spit by the high-level Demon Beast Heaven Ice Silkworm, this wearable equipment reduces damage from Warrior Realm by thirty percent,.... Main materials: Heaven Ice Silkworm Silk, Space Alloy, etc.】
