Chapter 1932 Initial Mastery Of Longgui Bulwark Armor
The Second Component of the Longgui Bulwark Armor was called as Magma Hardening.
In it, the user had to change the balance of the elements by removing the fire element completely. This would allow them to condense an armor around them which would be wholly composed of Metal and Earth elements.
If one were to convert it into a ratio, it would be a 0:1:1 ratio between fire, metal, and earth elements. This would turn the mixture rigid and therefore, become defensive. But one needed to be careful about how they actually condensed the armor.
If they didn't do it in the right way, they would simply end up forming a solid construct around them, turning themselves into rigid statues. This would defeat the purpose of the skill and leave one with no mobility.
Hence, one needed to know how an armor worked and condensed the Magma into a shape that was the same. It needed to be in different parts, like the breastplate, the shoulder pauldrons, the vambraces, gauntlets, the greaves, boots, as well as the helmet.
This way, the entire body would be protected while also allowing perfect mobility. Additionally, one also needed to be able to repair and recover from damage at the same time. The armor could eventually crack and break, but the additional infusion of the Qi would be able to repair it.
Doing this while also being attacked was not an easy task, and one needed to have excellent focus to be able to do it. One would have to practice it many times so that they could not only summon the armor on instinct but also repair it in the blink of an eye.
This was the main aspect that Lin Mu had been desiring, as he wanted a defensive skill that he could activate at a moment's notice. His own True Gold body had become insufficient now, and the Immortal Strengthening Scripture's Sky Prop made him immobile.
The armor from Magma Hardening would allow him to be mobile while also having great defenses.
Finally, the Third Component of the Longgui Bulwark Armor was called as the Magma Fury.
It allowed the user to turn their defenses into an offense by melting the armor and turning it back into magma. This could then be used to unleash devastating attacks!
This was the most complex component out of the three, as it did not have a fixed ratio of the three elements. One needed to change the ratio according to their need.
One could increase the amount of fire element to raise the flexibility as well as add additional heat to the attacks. On the other hand, one could increase the metal element to create sharp claws that could tear through defenses.
Then finally, one could increase the earth element to raise the weight and raw impact of the skill.
This was why the third component was the hardest to learn and even harder to master.
One needed to rapidly adjust the ratios in order to use it perfectly and would have to practice a lot in order to be able to fully utilize it in battle.
Lin Mu revised all these in his mind before he finally began to practice the technique.
'I feel them all.' Lin Mu first sensed the three elemental immortal Qis in the air.
Even if he had them within his body, he needed to follow the procedure that was taught to him by the illusory image of the Dragon turtle.
"Consume the three to Strengthen!" Lin Mu uttered.
~SHUA~
Under the control of his Immortal sense, the Fire, Metal and Earth Immortal Qi in the air as well as water started to rush towards Lin Mu. The immortal Qi from the air entered his mouth, while the one from the water entered his Dantian.
The two streams of immortal Qi gathered in his stomach, where they started to combine!
Lin Mu's stomach detected the change and automatically responded. It allowed better access, and Lin Mu felt as if the space within his stomach had suddenly expanded. This made it easier for him as he now had better ways to control the three immortal Qis within his stomach.
~Rumble~
The fire, metal and earth elemental Qis clashed against each other, not wanting to merge at first.
Sputters of hot embers, sharp needles, and heavy rocks hit his stomach, but he seemed to endure them all with ease. Lin Mu's stomach didn't even register them, as obscure runes appeared on its surface.
Instead, the immortal Qi that had been wasted as recoil from the three elements was reabsorbed by the stomach and sent down into his Dantian. The immortal Qi was recycled, leading to no waste in the end.
'It can do this?' Lin Mu was discovering something new about his stomach, which was due to the nameless technique of the Lost Immortal.
~tremble~
'I'll think about this later I need to focus on the task at hand.' Lin Mu thought as he felt the three elements getting unstable.
~shua~
He established his control over them again and focused on forming a stable flow first.
Lin Mu's practice with the Immortal essence during the cultivation of the Three Apertures Invoking technique was coming in handy here. It had a very high difficulty and needed fine control over immortal essence, and since the same could be applied to the Immortal Qi, Lin Mu was able to replicate it.
In fact, even the Boulder Collapsing fist could be applied here, as it too needed fine control over both Immortal Qi as well as Immortal Essence.
'Can't I use the same way I stabilize the Immortal essence and Immortal Qi when using the Third form of the Boulder collapsing fist?' Lin Mu had an idea.
Wanting to try it out, Lin Mu separated the three elemental immortal Qis first.
This made them calm down immediately, but this was only the start. Lin Mu then turned them into strings of immortal Qi, which he then started to spin together as if weaving a thread from raw cotton.
