When the battle armor was promoted to SS-class, after completely containing the Sun's Fire, its size would undergo its first significant surge.
However, for the convenience of movement, battle armors of SS-class and above usually suppressed their size to about one-tenth.
At this moment, the titled battle armor "Hunter Tiger," having fully unleashed its combat form, its fifty-meter-tall giant steel body, disintegrated in less than a ten-thousandth of a second.
As it disintegrated, flowing silver-white metal constructed a steel tiger squatting majestically on the ground.
Hunter Tiger's claws were splayed, its expression extremely vigilant as it looked towards the city.
There, a silver-gray figure was freely traversing between the tall buildings.
But what truly shocked Jiang Hu was the terrifying and unignorable alarm from Hunter Tiger's radar!
There was no time for further thought. Battlefield instincts led Jiang Hu to unleash his strongest move:
"Battle Armor Skill: Tiger Roar Mountains!!"
Golden brilliance faintly appeared beneath the gray-white tiger body, and in an instant, all light was gathered at the giant tiger's throat:
"ROAR!!!!"
Offense is the best defense!
Amidst the earth-shattering tiger roar, even the ground in close proximity was directly shaken into powder! xxs one
This was the purest sonic weapon! Under the full power of the titled battle armor, it was capable of destroying more than half the city!
But!
The moment the sound waves shattered the ground, the silver-gray figure, which had been ten thousand meters away, had, without anyone knowing, quietly appeared at the outermost edge of the city.
Chen Luo, facing the terrifying sound wave charging towards him, calmly raised his right hand:
"I say!"
"Silence!!"
With a motion as gentle as a caress, Chen Luo's right hand softly touched the destructive sound wave.
The next moment, the sound wave attack, capable of annihilating millions of lives, vanished.
If not for the ground in front of the giant tiger that had turned to powder, the previous attack would have seemed like an illusion.
"Ah! Ah? This... How is this possible?!"
Jiang Hu was completely unable to comprehend what had just happened. How could a normal person without armor withstand this attack?
"Trash! Stand down! This is not someone you can contend with!!"
As Jiang Hu stood there in stunned disbelief, an irrefutable voice sounded within the communication channel.
The next moment, a jade-green battle armor, only twenty meters tall, directly gripped the hind leg of the steel giant tiger with one hand.
"M-Mister!" Jiang Hu didn't even have time to respond!
He saw the jade-green battle armor flick its wrist, and the steel giant tiger, which was much larger than itself, was easily thrown towards the sky behind them.
It wasn't until a loud bang that Jiang Hu's battle armor was completely entangled by the plasma on the barrier.
Amidst crackling sounds, the steel giant tiger visibly blackened.
Wei Ping did not look back at his subordinate. His attention was entirely captivated by the tiny figure on the ground ahead.
[Detected True Guard-level energy fluctuation! Please enter combat form immediately!]
[Detected unregistered True Guard-level existence! Please contact headquarters immediately!]
"Heh heh, interesting. Among the resistance's little mice, they can actually cultivate True Guard-level beings now?"
"I thought you were all beaten to a pulp. I never expected you to leave me such a big surprise!"
Hearing the voice from the jade-green battle armor ahead, Chen Luo touched his nose with a hint of helplessness:
"Uh, well, although I destroyed your Nine Dragons battle armor, I'm not part of any resistance."
"And, I'm very strong, so don't act like you've got me cornered, okay?"
Hearing Chen Luo's words, Wei Ping couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Little mouse, I don't care where you came from! I only know that if I can kill a True Guard-level mouse today, my merits will be undeniable even to those trash at headquarters!"
"As for being strong? Without True Guard-level battle armor, you will always be an ant before me!"
Wei Ping paid no attention to Chen Luo at all. Even though his soul power had reached the True Guard-level, and his strength was so great that he could suppress Jiang Hu's attack with his individual might.
However, Nine Dragons' control over battle armor was absolute!
While S-class or A-class battle armors might still be circulating in the market, SS-class and above battle armors were exclusively held by Nine Dragons.
On one hand, it was because Nine Dragons possessed special battle armor detection methods, and on the other hand, the Sun's Fire, which was essential for SS-class and above battle armors, was only available to Nine Dragons.
Therefore, in Wei Ping's eyes, Chen Luo was merely a lucky individual who had somehow, through unknown means, become a True Guard.
And the battle armor he could use topped out at S-class.
"Oh, right, there's also an SS-class battle armor gestating in this city."
"The technology department apparently secretly implanted the Sun's Fire back then, waiting for it to mature before harvesting."
"Hmm, if this young man is ruthless enough, killing all direct descendants of the Lin family, he could also inherit that unclaimed battle armor."
"Heh, even then, it would only be a mere SS-class."
Chen Luo was naturally unaware of Wei Ping's calculations.
He was simply curious where such an arrogant green enthusiast had emerged from.
I wouldn't dare claim to be invincible even if I could punch stars, and you're acting like a master with me, kid?
The man and the armor faced off briefly, each contemplating where this arrogant kid had come from.
Until,
*snap*,
The Hunter Tiger battle armor, now thoroughly charred by electricity on the distant barrier, finally fell to the ground.
The eyes of the jade-green battle armor suddenly brightened.
Deep within the armor, Wei Ping, whose body and armor were almost completely fused, his eyes lit up:
"Even a lion needs full strength to catch a rabbit! Little mouse, consider yourself honored!"
"You have the chance to witness the power of a Nine Dragons True Guard!!"
"Liberate! Sun's Fire!"
*Boom!* A streak of golden light suddenly ignited in the heart of the jade-green battle armor.
As the light pulsed, golden patterns spread throughout the entire body of the battle armor.
"Aaaaaaaah!!!!"
With a roar, the jade-green battle armor, now covered in golden patterns, suddenly began to grow taller and larger!
In just a short while, a two-hundred-meter-tall colossal battle armor abruptly appeared before Chen Luo.
Amplified by the battle armor and the Sun's Fire, the soul power formed visible blue lightning, crackling around the battle armor.
Inside the giant battle armor, looking down at the increasingly minuscule Chen Luo and the city, Wei Ping felt an unbidden sense of pride, looking down on all things:
"Every time I enter this state, I feel how small this world is."
"No, it's not that it's too small! It's that I am too powerful! Hahaha!!"
"And by killing you! I will have the chance to gain even greater power!!"
"Consider yourself honored, mouse!!"
"True Guard Ultimate Art! Three Realms Forest Sea!!!"
