Chapter 28: Flight at Ten Times the Speed of Sound! An Arena Large Enough for Millions!

What delighted Xiao Xuan was that the Silverwing Battle Armor also had five Traits, and every single one of them was exceptionally powerful.

Defense, flight, invisibility, self-repair, and size change!

They had practically been tailor-made for Xiao Xuan.

Then Xiao Xuan opened the helmet covering his head.

The armor provided protection from almost every angle, and it could even reinforce whichever part was weakest.

It was practically a godsend for men.

“Looks pretty impressive, doesn’t it? Actually, the nanotech battle armor developed by our human race is not all that remarkable anymore.

“The truly incredible stuff is the original nanotech battle armor excavated from that technological civilization. Not only is its base defense much higher, it also has more Traits, and at higher grades too!

“Unfortunately, the price is simply terrifying!”

The moment Liu Feng saw the smile on Xiao Xuan’s face, he naturally understood what he was thinking. At that moment, even Liu Feng could not help feeling envious.

Even he could not bear to buy nanotech battle armor.

After all, seventh-tier gear was far too expensive.

As for Peak Sixth-Tier armor, it was not of much use to him.

After all, Peak Sixth-Tier gear was benchmarked against the Tenth Heaven of the Martial King Realm!

He was a Martial Emperor at the Fifth Heaven. Even if he wore Peak Sixth-Tier battle armor with Purple Traits, the increase to his defense would still not be very great.

“For me, this is already more than good enough!”

Xiao Xuan smiled.

“My turn, my turn! I want nanotech battle armor too!”

At the side, Su Qingwu stared at the sleek silver-black armor on Xiao Xuan’s body, her large eyes sparkling with excitement.

Then she hurriedly began choosing from the armory.

Before long, she selected a set of Adamantine-Silk Gauntlets.

It was the lightest among all the Mid Fifth-Tier gauntlets.

After that, she chose the same type of nanotech battle armor.

Su Qingwu even spent her own money to buy one unit of Mid Fifth-Tier nanomaterial for repairs!

Even though it was only one unit, it still cost a full 100,000. And that was only because the grade was low!

Still, one unit of nanomaterial could generally last for a very, very long time.

After all, in battle, only a small portion of the armor would usually be damaged.

If a single battle was enough to use up all the material, then it would already have been a fight to the death.

By that point, the user probably would have been killed already.

Moreover, after a battle, the nanotech battle armor could scan the battlefield and recover any scattered material.

More than ninety percent of it could usually be recovered.

That was why an ordinary user would typically only consume four or five units of material before the armor was completely scrapped.

Then Xiao Xuan glanced at the price of his own nanomaterial, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Ten million per unit!

Good lord, the price had increased a hundredfold!

This armor was practically impossible to maintain.

“Forget it. I will wait until I get back, upgrade the Trait grades first, and then find a way to earn some money. I will probably have to buy it in the Imperial Capital!”

At that moment, Xiao Xuan was truly glad that he had come to take the examination. Otherwise, if he had to rely on himself alone, how long would it have taken him to earn enough for a nanotech battle armor worth over a billion?

Not to mention this weapon as well.

Afterward, Liu Feng brought Xiao Xuan and Su Qingwu to a temporary apartment building where they could stay for the night.

Early the next morning, they would set out for the Imperial Capital.

The moment he heard that, Xiao Xuan’s eyes lit up. He wondered whether Mu Xiying would be surprised when she saw him.

At the thought, Xiao Xuan smiled at once.

However, he did not go straight to rest.

“My Eco Points are still a little too low. And upgrading the armor and weapon Traits to Purple will also take more than a hundred thousand Eco Points.”

“I need to get more Traits.”

“And if I want to get a lot of Traits, the best place to go is somewhere with constant fighting.”

“Where in Nanhai City has the most fighting?”

Xiao Xuan was a little puzzled, so he directly used the AI Core to search.

He had to admit that the Peak Sixth-Tier AI Core that came with the nanotech battle armor was on a completely different level from the Second-Tier AI Core he had used before.

Whether it was connection speed or intelligence, it was vastly superior.

Of course, the most important thing was authority!

AI Cores of different grades had different access permissions, and the information they could search was different as well.

There were many things that only high-grade AI Cores had the authority to access.

The reason the previous Xiao Xuan knew far less than Su Qingwu was not that he disliked studying and only knew how to train like a brute.

The main reason was that the grade of his AI Core had been too low, so the information he could search was far more limited.

But a Peak Sixth-Tier AI Core was in a completely different class!

Xiao Xuan directly entered the kind of place he wanted to find:

A place where geniuses fought the most.

Preferably one where people got injured the most.

In barely an instant, the AI Core produced an answer.

【Honored Master! According to the search results, the place that best fits your requirements is the Nanhai City University District Combat Arena!

This place gathers nearly all the university students from Nanhai City’s universities, along with independent martial artists from society!

Whether it is private grudges or sparring matches, people come here to settle them.

Betting is freely allowed here, and so is open combat. However, there is also a real danger to life, so student deaths are not uncommon!

The use of external equipment such as weapons and battle armor is prohibited here, and fighters may only battle opponents of the same level or challenge martial artists of a higher level!

Therefore, this place is a paradise for commoner geniuses seeking to earn living expenses, as well as for independent martial artists with strong same-level combat power who are trying to support their families.】

…………

The voice of the AI Core rang out.

“A Combat Arena?”

“Isn’t that basically a colosseum? Good. I never expected a place like that to exist! That is far better than someplace like Beast Pet City!!”

The moment Xiao Xuan saw that, he immediately decided that for the next day, this was where he would gather Eco Points.

“Silverwing, navigate directly to that arena!”

Xiao Xuan spoke directly to the Silverwing AI Core.

【Understood, Master. The route has been planned. Shall we depart?】

“Let’s go!!”

Xiao Xuan nodded.

HUMMMMM!!!!

In the next instant, a large amount of silver-black liquid spread out directly from the Smartwatch on his right hand!

The liquid covered Xiao Xuan from head to toe and turned into a suit of silver-black battle armor!

BOOM!!!

In the next moment, violent flames erupted simultaneously from the armor’s back and both feet.

Xiao Xuan slowly rose into the air, then shot straight toward the gate of the residence!

At the same time, the gate opened in advance.

The instant it opened a crack, Xiao Xuan turned into a streak of black light and shot out, rushing rapidly toward the horizon!

After soaring into the sky, Xiao Xuan directly opened his helmet.

WHOOOOSH!!!

At once, the violent wind blasted against his body.

Flying at nearly ten times the speed of sound, only someone as strong as Xiao Xuan could withstand it. An ordinary person would have been stripped down to bone on the spot.

Watching the scenery race past beneath him, Xiao Xuan felt completely exhilarated.

“So this is what flight feels like! In theory, since I control both fire and lightning, I should be able to fly too. It is just that my speed definitely would not be this fast.”

“But when I have time, I still need to learn it properly. Otherwise, if people found out that a fire-element controller could not even fly and still had to rely on external equipment, wouldn’t I be laughed to death?”

Xiao Xuan laughed.

At such terrifying speed, Xiao Xuan arrived above the University District Colosseum in less than a minute!

From far away, he had already seen the enormous honeycomb-shaped complex!

Each hexagonal structure there was a massive colosseum.

And each one did not contain just a single arena platform, but hundreds of them packed densely inside.

Of course, some of the higher-level colosseums only had a few arena platforms, or even just one.

“So many people! This time, I should be able to make a fortune, right?”
