It was not surprising that Lin Qing had not reminded him beforehand. After all, most Soul Hearts, upon awakening, could not even confirm the presence or absence of Soul Heart power, let alone mobilize it freely or deplete it directly.
However, Lin Qing suddenly remembered that although this young man looked young, he was a traveler who had crossed worlds.
He might not have manipulated Soul Heart power, but he was a powerhouse himself.
Mobilizing energy might be as simple as instinctual breathing for him.
As Lin Qing turned her head with a hint of alarm, she saw Chen Luo and the Snow Tiger Battle Armor completely still.
"Phew, good, you haven't started yet."
"My apologies for not explaining clearly. Please try to slowly inject your Soul Heart power. The moment the battle armor's voice resonates in your heart, the authentication is successful."
As she spoke, Lin Qing took two steps forward, intending to guide him up close.
But as her high heels took their first step, Lin Qing's slender arch could no longer descend.
Pressure, an invisible Soul Heart pressure, was continuously intensifying ahead.
Lin Qing's expression changed, and she exclaimed,
"Mr. Chen!!"
But Chen Luo could no longer hear anything.
The moment his first wisp of Soul Heart power surged in, a stiff mechanical voice echoed in his mind:
[Nine Dragons Standard Grade A Battle Armor, detecting a new Soul Heart user!]
[Soul Heart power signature recorded. Congratulations on becoming a Soul Heart Battle Armor user!]
[Please set the armor activation command!]
Chen Luo ignored these stiff mechanical voices. He could sense that these mechanical voices were transmitted from a microcomputer inside the battle armor.
Chen Luo was also very interested in this microcomputer that could directly connect to consciousness, but he was even more interested in the battle armor itself!
He could sense it! Besides the microcomputer, a very faint yearning was emanating from within this battle armor!
That was everything apart from the microcomputer! That was the "Snow Tiger" battle armor itself!
In his mind, Chen Luo did not set any armor activation command. Instead, he responded directly with his inner voice:
"It's not satisfied yet! Soul Heart power, do you want more? Then I'll give it all to you!"
At this moment, Lin Qing had just turned around. In her eyes, nothing unusual had happened between Chen Luo and the Snow Tiger.
This was not surprising. Soul Heart power, when in the heart and at extremely high density, appeared silver.
But once it was released externally, it was so thin as to be almost formless, or rather, imperceptible to ordinary people!
But only Chen Luo knew that at this moment, his 0.01% soul had completely lowered its guard and begun to burn entirely!
Boom!
In his heart, the Soul Heart fire, suspended between reality and illusion, erupted. Terrifying Soul Heart fluctuations radiated outwards with every beat of Chen Luo's heart!
The air around Chen Luo seemed to freeze. It was a slight aftershock of extremely high-intensity Soul Heart power overflowing!
But even this mere aftershock prevented Lin Qing from getting any closer!
Chen Luo described Lin Qing's Soul Heart power as generating heat. On one hand, it was the inertia of mortal souls that made them difficult to ignite.
On the other hand, it was because even with 0.01% of their soul, at their current rate of heat generation, it would likely take a very, very long time for it to be completely depleted!
But even this slight damage could be fatal to mortals.
After all, not everyone was a supreme being who had attained enlightenment of the true self and opened up their domain.
Chen Luo's soul's quantity and quality were incomparable to mortal souls. As long as Chen Luo willed it, the Soul Heart fire could completely burn out that 0.01% of his soul in an instant!
This was not because Chen Luo liked self-harm, but because a 0.01% soul damage could be completely recovered with a little rest for Chen Luo.
He thought so, and he acted accordingly!
At this instant, a truly immense amount of Soul Heart power surged madly from Chen Luo's body!
Lin Qing, who had exclaimed, was not only unable to stop Chen Luo but was forced to retreat towards the edge of the arena.
Crack!
A sound like an electric spark explosion suddenly rang out.
In Lin Qing's disbelieving gaze, faint silver lightning, visible to the naked eye, formed around Chen Luo's body.
"How, how is that possible?!"
Those were not real sparks, although they looked very similar.
However, Lin Qing's senses clearly told her that they were Soul Heart power condensed to the point of being observable by the naked eye!
Chen Luo's attention was now fully focused on the battle armor before him. He could sense that
as the immense Soul Heart power was injected, this battle armor was rapidly being dyed with his color.
Not by recording information, but by some more peculiar change!
"Eat! Eat your fill! Let me see what kind of scenery the Soul Heart Battle Armors of this world hold!!"
Ninety-nine percent of the Soul Heart power was injected into the battle armor before him.
The remaining little bit that leaked out caused the three sisters to feel increasingly terrifying pressure.
Feeling uncomfortable, Lin Yue couldn't help but call out to Lin Qing,
"Sister!!"
Lin Qing turned back, looking at her sisters whose expressions were gradually turning grim. She gritted her teeth, glanced back at the unresponsive Chen Luo, and decisively said,
"Yueyue, Xin'er! Let's go out first!"
"If we stay here, we'll only be a hindrance to Mr. Chen!"
With that, Lin Qing led her two sisters out.
As soon as the three of them exited the battle armor vault, the pressure completely disappeared.
The three couldn't help but exchange glances, filled with curiosity and astonishment at the changes between Chen Luo and the battle armor.
Mr. Chen (Big Brother Chen/Uncle Chen) is truly a miraculous person.
At this moment, the two Soul Heart users had not yet discovered that their Soul Heart power had quietly increased.
And in the eyes of the third sister, who was not a Soul Heart user, a faint, almost imperceptible silver light also flashed.
...
While Chen Luo was forcefully injecting power into the Snow Tiger Battle Armor in the Lin family's battle armor vault,
far away at the edge of Dragon Heart City, at the bottom of a massive plasma metal barrier, a very large convoy also arrived at the perimeter.
Lu Chenyuan, the head of the Lu family, who was leading the convoy, looked at the seamless city boundary, his heart sinking bit by bit.
He had no connection with Nine Dragons, nor could he possibly know the location of the people who arrived later from Nine Dragons.
After all, it was Wei Wu who had unilaterally found the Lu family and unilaterally issued the order.
Bringing everyone here now was merely a delaying tactic.
After all, Nine Dragons never concealed its cruelty towards rebels.
The family heads present had all witnessed records of city massacres.
And now that the city was sealed, and Nine Dragons was clearly preparing for a major move, the families who felt their doomsday had arrived would not let the Lu family off the hook!
If he hadn't given everyone a glimmer of hope back then, Lu Chenyuan, who was responsible for connecting the various families, would have been torn apart by the family heads first!
But now, as he approached the barrier at the edge of the city, Lu Chenyuan's heart sank further.
"Patriarch Lu! We all honestly followed you here! May I ask how much longer until the adults from Nine Dragons Corporation arrive!"
