Feeling the mysterious rune in a special area inside his chest, Zhao Guang revealed a satisfied smile. “Let’s start,” he said, following the requirements of his Lifebound Battle Skill, dispersing his Combat Energy around him and then channeling it into his armor. Following that, as Combat Energy circulated, the Lifebound Rune emitted a unique power. The next moment, Zhao Guang felt a special force converging toward him. Then, the sensation of stabbing pain erupted because he hadn’t used any painkillers. He wanted to test just how severe this pain really was. If possible, he still preferred not to use painkillers. But Zhao Guang had somewhat overestimated himself; he wasn’t a warrior who had undergone specialized training. The intense pain made him numb to the point of not feeling pain anymore; his whole body felt numb. A few minutes later, Zhao Guang finally struggled to get up, feeling the pain gradually lessen. This pain, if he were to undergo it a few more times, Zhao Guang worried that he might not have the courage to continue. Picking up the painkillers without a second thought, Zhao Guang swiftly consumed them. The painkillers worked very quickly, and moments later, he couldn’t feel any pain at all. If it weren’t for sensing the operation of the Battle Skill itself, Zhao Guang would have thought his Battle Skill operation had stopped. “With this pace, I can use it three to five times a day, and it should be completed in about a month or so,” he mused. Zhao Guang closed his eyes and silently calculated, then opened his eyes and thought he had drunk too much water and needed to go to the bathroom. Once in the bathroom, Zhao Guang was momentarily speechless because he realized he was wearing his armor. Wearing the armor wasn’t the issue, but there were no openings in the armor. If he took it off, the Battle Skill would immediately lose connection. If he wanted to practice, he would have to start over. If it was always this sporadic, then he could forget about it. “This is troublesome; how did I not consider this timing issue earlier?” Zhao Guang felt somewhat gloomy. Practicing Lifebound Battle Skills was like this; the materials couldn’t leave one’s body and had to be persevered with until the end. Eating and sleeping were fine, but he had overlooked going to the bathroom. Initially, he heard that this Basic Level Combat Skill could be completed in just three days, but he hadn’t realized that was because the materials were different. “Three days’ time—I could manage to urinate inside it. The major ones I could hold. But for a month, I really couldn’t hold it,” Zhao Guang helplessly gave up on this set of armor. There was no way around it. He could tolerate the smell, but some things were really unbearable. If he had to defecate inside it for a month, Zhao Guang couldn’t bear to imagine it; his face would turn green. He quickly took off the armor and hurriedly called Zhao Wu. “What’s the matter? You just went back, right? Is there something wrong with the armor?” Zhang Wu was a bit nervous. He had just decided to get a set for himself too. There couldn’t be a problem now, right? Compared to his own armor having issues, Zhang Wu was rather unconcerned with other matters. “It’s like this, I want to buy another set of armor, but it needs some adjustments,” Zhao Guang said promptly. “Adjust it? Is there something inappropriate about it? I feel it’s already at its limit,” Zhang Wu replied. Zhao Guang hurriedly said, “Here’s the thing, I need a few openings, mainly at the front and back of the crotch, the kind that doesn’t affect going to the bathroom,” seeming somewhat embarrassed. “Going to the bathroom? Can’t you just take off the armor?” Zhang Wu was a bit puzzled, really unable to imagine what Zhao Guang was driving at. “The way you’re suggesting is too troublesome; I am thinking about wearing the armor for a long duration,” Zhao Guang explained. “For a long duration, how long? Is it a few days or a week? Man, I didn’t realize you were even more of an enthusiast than me.” Even Zhang Wu himself hadn’t considered wearing it for a day or two; wouldn’t that stink? Zhao Guang directly stated, “A bit longer than that.” Longer? How long was that, exactly? What was he thinking? Zhao Guang simply made his request: “Here’s the thing, I need the openings to be able to be opened but still attached to the armor. They must also be secure when fastened. Additionally, I need an opening at the mouth as well, so I can eat easily.” “Your request is really a bit difficult,” Zhang Wu mentioned. “I’ll pay extra.” Hearing this, the other side immediately shut up. After all, it was business. “Any other requirements?” Zhang Wu tilted his head. This seemed like a great test. If it could be worn all day, that would mean his armor was definitely comfortable. This was such a good testing opportunity; after this chance there wouldn’t be another. Zhao Guang thought for a moment, then looked at his hand and said, “The fingers need to be more flexible. But they must also be covered with armor, not gloves.” “No gloves? Then it’s hard to grasp weapons and do other things,” Zhang Wu observed. Initially, Zhao Guang’s armor had metal on the external part of the hand, but the inside was leather. From Zhao Guang’s viewpoint, he planned to make it all out of titanium alloy, which could be problematic. “Can it be done?” Zhao Guang inquired. “No problem. We already have the existing templates; it just needs a bit of modification. The trickiest part is the fingers, but I can solve that within two days.” “How much will it cost?” Although it still needed two days, Zhao Guang could only wait. The finger portion will need a new template, so add an extra five hundred thousand, and I’ll adjust it with the master,” Zhang Wu proposed. “Fine.” Zhao Guang didn’t think twice and immediately transferred the money. Zhao Guang was straightforward, and Zhang Wu was also eager to find someone. After giving instructions, Zhao Guang finally set this matter aside. “In the next few days, I need to prepare well; otherwise, I will definitely become a salted fish in a month.” Thinking of the smell of a salted fish, even if Zhao Guang didn’t care much about his image, it was somewhat unbearable. He hoped his nose could get used to it soon. They say you don’t notice it once you get used to it. It was really tough, Zhao Guang sighed in resignation. “While I have the time, I should sort out the tricycle thing.” He looked around the room filled with tricycles and then prepared to head across the street. In recent days, the Human Camp had again gained a certain advantage. Looking outside, most of what he saw were Human Soldiers. With the armor, the Human Soldiers’ resistance to the Beastmen had become very strong, instead the Beastmen were severely hindered. Although the shields could block the arrows, if there were too many arrows, they couldn’t block all of them. He wondered about the losses on the Beastman’s side; never mind, he would find an opportunity to discreetly inquire soon.
