Modified Battle Armor Set
Set Attributes: Releases a mental barrier within 3 seconds that is immune to all mental skills (requires active release, 24-hour cooldown)
"It's a pity that it only lasts 3 seconds, but it's not bad. It can still have a surprising effect at critical moments."
"Let's go with this one."
Zhou Ran immediately clicked on the design blueprint for the Modified Battle Armor Set and checked the required materials.
"Wow, each part requires 10 Magic Spirit Crystals?"
"So I can only forge one piece for now."
Zhou Ran looked at it with some disappointment, but suddenly his pupils dilated.
This set's attributes also require a Mental Stone to activate.
Normally, a complete set of armor can activate its attributes immediately, but this one actually requires a Spirit Ore?
It's important to note that Spirit Ore can only be obtained by killing ghost-type beasts of seventh rank or higher, but killing ghost-type beasts is extremely difficult. Unless one can instantly annihilate the opponent's soul, it's impossible.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll try my luck in the planar fragments later." Zhou Ran smiled wryly and clicked the "Start Forging" button below the design diagram.
The battle armor forging machine lit up instantly, and the system's voice echoed in his mind.
"Importing the modified battle armor set design diagram..."
"Import complete. Please select the part to be forged."
After hearing this, Zhou Ran paused for a moment. Since the main goal was to enhance the spiritual power of the beasts, he decided to forge the head armor first.
He immediately clicked the head button on the armor forging machine.
"Please insert 10 magic crystals."
"Do you wish to use armor lubricant?" the system prompted.
A window appeared on the armor forging machine.
Zhou Ran shouted without hesitation: Of course I'll use it. If it fails, we're doomed."
He quickly summoned the shop in his mind, exchanged for a bottle of armor lubricant, and placed the remaining 10 Magic Spirit Crystals inside.
The Magic Spirit Crystals in the window were immediately covered in a layer of golden liquid. Zhou Ran paused for a moment, then excitedly said, "Begin forging."
"Deducting 100 points."
"Forging for the host..."
The battle armor forging machine's window vanished instantly, the entire device vibrating constantly while golden light flickered.
"Ding, forging successful," the system announced.
The window reopened, revealing a black-smoking object resembling a skull before Zhou Ran's eyes.
Zhou Ran excitedly removed the head armor and examined it closely.
In fact, so-called beast armor is not actually worn on the beast's body but instead fused into its body. This is why the crystals must match the beast's inherent attributes. Additionally, replacing the armor is extremely convenient in the future—simply fuse the new parts into the beast's body, and the old armor will immediately be replaced and expelled from the body.
This also made selling them easier. Many blacksmith shops sold armor that had been resold by beast tamers, so when funds were insufficient to forge new armor, people often opted to purchase this type of armor instead.
Zhou Ran couldn't help but praise the ingenuity of the person who invented this armor.
Zhou Ran quickly waved his right hand, opening a light gate, and summoned the Liu Ying Huan Yue Dog from the beast space. At the same time, the shop activated its barrier, shrinking it to the size of an ordinary dog-like beast.
Upon seeing the head armor in Zhou Ran's hand, the Liu Ying Huan Yue Dog became extremely excited, constantly urging Zhou Ran to give it to him.
"What's the rush?" Zhou Ran kept petting its dog head and laughed.
The Liu Ying Huan Yue Dog also behaved very obediently, dare not provoke Zhou Ran.
"Good, very obedient. Here's your reward."
After saying that, Zhou Ran placed the head armor on the Liu Ying Huan Yue Dog's head. The armor continuously emitted a black aura, slowly merging with the aura within the beast's body.
Soon, the armor disappeared, completely merging into its body, with the purple-gold crescent moon on its head constantly flickering.
Roar!
The Liu Ying Huan Yue Dog let out a deep, angry roar, and its powerful star energy erupted instantly, sending the surrounding tables, chairs, and benches flying.
"Such a commotion! Stay calm, Er Bao." Zhou Ran hurriedly shouted.
The Liu Ying Huan Yue Dog's overwhelming excitement echoed in his mind, prompting Zhou Ran to immediately use the Pet Appraisal Device on it.

Zhou Ran was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that a small head armor could directly improve the beast's potential. He nodded in satisfaction.
Before he knew it, it was already dark. Zhou Ran quickly used 20 points to activate two intermediate breeding platforms and summoned the World-Destroying Demon Tiger.
The World-Destroying Demon Tiger appeared looking a bit sulky. It hadn't been summoned during the treasure hunt in the spacetime fissure, so its level had been left behind by the Shadow Moon Dog. Now, seeing that it had received a head armor, it became even more unhappy and lay down in a corner.
Zhou Ran couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "Oh no! Is this guy jealous?"
He hurried over to comfort it: "Don't be upset. I'll definitely get you a set of armor in a few days."
Upon hearing this, the World-Destroying Thunder Tiger's ears perked up instantly, and it became happy again, nodding repeatedly at Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran sighed wryly. However, compared to magic crystals, lightning-type crystals were relatively easier to obtain. At least Zhou Ran had seen them once when he entered the Lightning Abyss Plane Fragment last time, but his strength wasn't sufficient to obtain them. However, this time was different. He had two ninth-rank bloodline beasts, so what was there to fear? Haha!
After calming the World-Destroying Thunder Tiger, he placed them all into the intermediate cultivation platform.
Then he mounted his electric scooter and headed home. ...
The next morning.
Zhou Ran left early. Today was a big day; he couldn't afford to be late.
He rode his bike quickly to the entrance of his store and spotted Feng Ruotong and Zhang Tiantian from afar.
"You're here so early," Zhou Ran greeted them enthusiastically.
" Boss, you've struck it rich! How did your store expand so much all of a sudden?" Feng Ruotong and Zhang Tiantian exclaimed in surprise.
"It's nothing special," Zhou Ran laughed.
"Hmm..."
"By the way, the event starts at 9 o'clock. Let's hurry up and go," Feng Ruotong said.
"Okay, but wait a moment. I need to grab something."
After saying that, Zhou Ran quickly ran into the store and took out a stack of flyers he had prepared the previous day.
"Take these. Make sure to promote them well at the academy later," Zhou Ran said wit≠h a smile.
"Boss, really? Didn't we agree to help you promote it at the competition?" Feng Ruotong felt a bit embarrassed, as she had been spoiled since childhood and had never done such work before.
Zhang Tiantian also looked awkwardly at Zhou Ran.
