War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 28

Xin Ja return to the convoy and once again stayed inside the bus as they continue with their journey to Lostier Fortress.

He began checking the treasures that he has taken which made him smile joyfully after seeing more precious materials and ores inside his ring.

What made him excited are the strange crystals contained in one of the chests which he could feel contained a huge amount of Ki energy in them.

He knew that if he is able to absorb the crystals, then his strength would be able to once again soar by leaps and bounds.

After feeling happy, he decided to check the bluish jade crystals and frowned while observing them. After some time, he feels a bit weird because no matter what he does, he could not find a way how to make it work.

While in such a conundrum, Xin Ja decided to put aside the jade crystals and instead began to absorb the crystals that contains an exorbitant amount of Ki.

2 days later…

After a few crystals have been turned into dust Xin Ja slowly opened his eyes and if one observed one might have discovered a flicker of electricity coming from his eyes but then vanishes as soon as it appears.

As he clenches his fist and then opens it, he could feel a strange elation in his heart. The reason for this is that he has finally reached the 40th level, which is a late-stage Ki-champion realm.

Reaching such a realm, he only needed to break through to the 41st level and he would then become a Ki-Grandmaster. With such power, he knew that he would not be afraid of that weakened Shen's strength.

If worse comes worst, then he could even escape from any first-stage Shen Lord realm master. That is why he is feeling a bit excited to reach the fortress so that he could finally break through to the Ki-Grandmaster realm.

The reason why he did not break through while traveling is that he is not sure how long it would take for him to do so.

He did not want to be disturbed, so he just decided to go through the mission first and then break through later.

As he opens his eyes, he noticed that Gun Mace and the other researchers are still busy with their work. Then his eyes landed on one of the Goliath Suits in the corner while showing a slight smile on his face.

He could now see that though the suit still looks bulky and huge, he could tell that they have already implemented the micro hydraulics system which is evident as he scanned the inner plates of the Goliath Suit.

He slowly stands up from the corner of the bus and dusted the debris of the crystals around him. The researcher at this time also noticed some changes around them so they all look in Xin Ja's direction.

When he was sitting cross-legged in one corner of the bus, they all feel a bit weird. But when they feel that soothing and warm feeling, they were all amazed making their jobs a bit easier for them to accomplish.

But now, that warm and soothing feeling seem to have suddenly vanished which made them look at Xin Ja's corner.

They saw him walking towards the Goliath Suit and Gun Mace showed a proud smile on his face as he walked beside the metal suit.

"What do you think, master?" he asked with a proud grin.

Xin Ja could not help but smile seeing the proud expression on the guy's face. He knew that this guy has accomplished something good this time.

"You did well in putting the shielding and reactive armors on the suit…" Xin Ja said while nodding his head.

Upon hearing his compliments, the researchers immediately shout out cheers.

Ever since Xin Ja gave them another set of blueprints on how to improve the suit, the reactive armors are something that made them really confused.

But after 2 days of working, Gun Mace was finally able to break the code.

With the high level of memory retention of the researchers in this bus because of their awakening, plus they can work 24 hours a day without resting and feeling fatigued, they could easily decode the technology after his guidance.

That is the reason why it only took them 2 days to add and finish the reactive armor and the other additional feature of the Goliath Suit.

"Did you guys already test this out?" Xin Ja asked while pointing at the armor.

They all shake their heads and look at him with expectant eyes.

"Err… You want me to test it out?" he asked feeling a bit uncomfortable from their gazes.

On a grassy field, two goliath suits are facing each other, but there is a big difference between the two. The other one seems to be wearing thicker armor while the other one has thinner armor.

The soldiers and the researchers looking at the two suits showed excitement in their eyes.

"Hey, Mr. Mace… Are you sure that this flimsy-looking new suit of yours will be as sturdy as the first one?" asked the soldier inside the sleek-looking Goliath Suit.

"Shut up and start the trials… I wanted to see real battle data so the two of you should not hold out… don't worry too much, we all got you…" Gun Mace shouted as he held on to the small crystal monitor in his hand.

The crystal monitor is not showing any drawings but strange patterns and numbers. These patterns and numbers represent the status of the two suits.

Upon hearing his words the two soldiers heaved a helpless sigh and just prepared for the match.

Suddenly, the one with the bulky build moved and rushes like the wind as he attacked his opponent.

Clang!

A loud reverberating sound echoed in the air as the sleeker Goliath Suit deflected the attack with each.

Then with a faster movement, the sleeker one suddenly appears on the side of his opponent and delivers a simple punch on its side.

Wham!

This sends the bulky Goliath Suit tumbling to the ground in a sorry manner.

Everyone was stunned by what they just saw.

"How… how could such heavy armors move so fast?" one of the soldiers muttered.

That soldier is a D-Rank, or a Ki-Master level fighter.

With his speed, he is confident of competing with that sleeker Goliath Suit, but that strength, reflexes, and defensive power is something he did not expect to witness.

"Damn it… are you sure that those two are just F-ranks right?" that same soldier suddenly asked in disbelief.

Everyone nodded at him but they too showed astonishment in their eyes.

"Mr. Mace, I hope that the military could popularize the use of these suits… I would be of great help with our fight against the demons…" the officer with them said as he patted Gun Mace's shoulder.

Feeling elated, he quickly looks in Xin Ja's direction and nodded his head in respect.

Though he is happy that he got complimented, he still knew that the real mind behind this is the young man he has already considered his master.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja nodded his head and walked back to the bus.

He knew that his plan in teaching Gun Mace a part of exoskeleton technology would surely help with this war.

If all of those ranked F to D would have an equal strength as that of rank D or even C, then the people will have a fighting chance against the demon horde that is attacking the land.

But for him, he is more interested in enhancing his gears right now.

With the increase in his strength and power, he has to upgrade his gears to be able to handle his power and enhance it further.

His eyes landed on the useful blade in his hand which causes blindness.

"If I can infuse the same status effect on bullets, then that would be really awesome, right…" he muttered as he once again sits at his table inside the bus.

It took the convoy another week before they are able to finally arrive at the borders of the Lostier Fortress.

By that time, almost all of the soldiers in the convoy are already wearing Goliath Suits. Instead of riding their mounts, they all tied them with the carriages and walked beside the convoy while sitting inside the suits.

By this time, they are now able to use the suits as if it is their own bodies. Every time the group would rest, they would spar and fight. Though the suits got damaged, the researchers did not mind as they are able to gather more data through it.

They were even able to take down a giant demonized lizard which is around 20 meters tall, with the strength equal to a D-rank and a speed of an E-rank awakened.

Taking down that beast made everyone elated as they decided to barbecue the lizard's meat that night.

By this time, Xin Ja also was done with upgrading his gears and stretched his body while walking out of the bus.

"Master… we are going to arrive in Lostier Fortress tomorrow, I can't wait to present to the high judges our discovery and work…" he said with jubilation in his tone.

Xin Ja just shakes his head and then said.

"Take all the credit… After we arrive in the fortress, I will be in seclusion so don't disturb me…"
