Chapter 72: The Impact of Spirit Armor, Learning the Three Brahma Techniques!
Xiao Huo was utterly speechless.
At last—thank the heavens.
Fortunately, he had just sent a memory fragment to explain his identity. Otherwise, things might have turned out disastrously.
He also realized that Ye Ling must have learned something from that memory fragment; otherwise, the youth wouldn't have believed him so quickly.
Still, Xiao Huo couldn't help but feel curious about the armor Ye Ling had worn earlier. The surge of powerful spiritual energy that erupted in that instant had shaken even him.
And more than that—the armor seemed perfectly attuned to Ye Ling, fitted seamlessly to his body. That alone made it far superior to ordinary equipment.
This was something Xiao Huo found fascinating.
Back when Yang Haohan came here, he never mentioned such a thing!
Could it be that humanity's forging craft had evolved so drastically in merely thirty years? That seemed highly unlikely.
It was strange, yes—but Xiao Huo wasn't overly concerned. He simply wanted to understand the situation clearly.
Thus, his first instinct was to question Ye Ling about this mysterious armor.
However, before he could speak, Ye Ling cut him off. "Hall Master Xiao Huo, the technique you used just now—was it your secret divine art, the Three Brahma Techniques?"
The Three Brahma Techniques were recorded in numerous texts, so Ye Ling wasn't afraid of raising suspicion by asking directly.
As expected, Xiao Huo didn't doubt him at all. "Indeed," he said. "That move was the first form of my Three Brahma Techniques—the Eye of Brahma!"
"Throughout history, every time I've used this technique—whether against equals or beings beyond my rank—it has never failed. Even the Demon God Emperor of the first era was no exception!"
He spoke proudly.
Then, the undead's skull glimmered faintly with a trace of grievance as he turned to Ye Ling. "However, that mysterious armor of yours completely shattered my Eye of Brahma. What exactly is that armor?"
"I've truly never seen anything like it. Even your current Hall Master—that youngster surnamed Yang—never mentioned such equipment."
Xiao Huo's tone was serious, filled with genuine curiosity.
"It is called Spirit Armor," Ye Ling replied.
"Spirit Armor? I've never heard of it. Is this something developed in the past thirty years?" Xiao Huo felt as though the times had left him behind.
"It appeared within the past thirty years, yes—but it wasn't created thirty years ago," Ye Ling said calmly.
"Then when?" Xiao Huo pressed, intrigued.
"These three years," Ye Ling answered, his words shocking.
"What? Three years? In just three years, it has advanced to such a level? Whoever forged it must be a true hero of humanity! If all warriors could be equipped with such armor, victory over the demon race would be within reach!" Xiao Huo said solemnly, eyes burning with determination. It was clear he had long awaited such hope.
"Far yet near," Ye Ling replied cryptically, not hiding the truth. To others, he might have been cautious—but before Xiao Huo, there was no need for concealment.
"You…?" Xiao Huo was dumbfounded.
He stared blankly at Ye Ling, trying to process what he had just heard.
Surely, this must be a joke. From what he had just felt, that armor wasn't merely of glorious grade—it was far beyond that.
Each component of the armor was the pinnacle of craftsmanship, superior even among glorious-tier gear. And to combine them so perfectly into one flawless whole—that was the most difficult feat of all.
Yet Ye Ling had accomplished it effortlessly.
Not to mention his age—his cultivation was only at the Fifth Rank, wasn't it?
A Fifth Rank, yet this powerful?
Such a being, even in their current era—no, even during the glorious peak of the past age—likely no one of that level could have achieved this.
To forge equipment of Spirit Demon grade at the Fifth Rank was already incredible.
But to reach the level of Glorious grade?
And under these circumstances? Unthinkable.
"Is this true? You're saying this Spirit Armor was really forged by you?" Xiao Huo asked again, still stunned and uncertain.
"It is indeed so," Ye Ling nodded calmly. After all, the Spirit Armor originated from the concept of Dou Armor in the Douluo World, and in this world, this was the first complete set—crafted by his own hands.
Moreover, considering the current timeline, even in Douluo World's history, the first set of Dou Armor had likely yet to be forged.
That realization alone spoke volumes.
"Good! I never expected humanity to produce such a genius—remarkable, truly remarkable! Wonderful! The heavens favor mankind!" Xiao Huo laughed heartily.
From the moment Ye Ling spoke, he had been quietly observing the youth's spiritual fluctuations and emotional waves—the clearest indicators of truth.
And clearly, Ye Ling's emotions carried no trace of deceit. If anything, his aura rose slightly from pride.
That sincerity confirmed his words beyond doubt.
Xiao Huo was overjoyed.
Wonderful indeed!
"Young one, you've done well. How long have you been within the Sacred Mountain of Knights?" Xiao Huo asked with curiosity.
"Today is the twenty-first day," Ye Ling replied.
"Ten more days…" Xiao Huo murmured inwardly. "The chance may be slim, but not impossible. It's worth trying."
Then he looked solemnly toward Ye Ling. "Earlier, the Eye of Brahma that I unleashed—how did it feel to you?"
"It was extraordinarily powerful. Had I not activated my Spirit Armor at the critical moment, that oppressive force might have completely immobilized me," Ye Ling answered truthfully.
Indeed, his Spirit Armor had been the only reason he could withstand that move.
Of course, in the hands of anyone else, the outcome would likely have been different.
"Would you be interested in learning the Three Brahma Techniques?"
"For six thousand years, I alone have mastered them. Few others even know of them. Not to mention the later moves— even the first, the Eye of Brahma, has nearly vanished from the continent."
"If you are willing to learn, though time is short, there's still a chance for you to grasp it." Xiao Huo's tone was solemn yet encouraging.
Ye Ling's lips curved into a faint smile.
Excellent.
He had been hoping for precisely this—an opportunity to learn the Three Brahma Techniques. That move was unimaginably powerful.
Comparable to Cai'er's Sevenfold Death God Arts, and in certain aspects, perhaps even stronger.
Such a terrifying technique—of course, it had to be his.
"Then I must thank Hall Master Xiao Huo for his guidance," Ye Ling said respectfully.
He looked at Xiao Huo expectantly, awaiting instruction.
Xiao Huo did not hesitate. Drawing his twin blades once more, he moved fluidly into position, releasing a unique and solemn aura as he began to speak.
"The core of the Three Brahma Techniques lies in—"
