Chapter 286: Leo Gold Holy Garment (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
‘This occasion will determine whether this bronze holy garment will transform into the Leo Gold Holy Garment.’
Despite these words, Lin Yao’s Leo Gold Holy Garment was vastly different from that of Saint Seiya1. The power of Saint Seiya’s holy garment had been bestowed by God and was akin to the strength of a small universe that could tap into the power of the horoscopes. On the other hand, Lin Yao’s so-called Leo Gold Holy Garment was the worst of the shabbiest versions.
Upon touching the holy garment on him and feeling its texture, Lin Yao understood that this garment was a combination of energy and mental strength, as well as guardian instinct.
The combination of mental strength and energy enabled the holy garment to withstand the majority of the attacks. The guardian instinct was very mysterious, and Lin Yao didn’t have much knowledge related to it. Nevertheless, he knew that the guardian instinct could change the structure of the holy garment. It would not only strengthen it but also contain the will of the guardian. This was why the holy garment could resist the rules of the freak.
Indeed, the higher-power techniques of Buddhism could strengthen one’s mind.
In comparison to other martial artists, Lin Yao didn’t give up acquiring new knowledge. During his daily studies, Lin Yao often perceived his own abilities and tried to comprehend them. This might seem useless but it was not. Comprehension was the prerequisite for achieving a combat skill breakthrough.
It was the right moment for Lin Yao to put to use his daily comprehension routine.
‘The holy garment is made of energy and mental strength, and so is my Golden Warlion. As for the guardian instinct, the Golden Warlion reforged by me considers me its parent in this life, and guarding me is its first priority. Therefore, I am not short of the guardian instinct at all.’
As Lin Yao thought about this, his mind jolted. He had summoned the Golden Warlion and then gingerly merged the Golden Warlion with the guardian holy seal—holy garment.
At this point, it was apparent that Lin Yao’s so-called Leo Gold Holy Garment would merge the holy garment with the Golden Warlion. Rather than calling it Leo Holy Garment, it might be more suitable to name it Lion King Armor.
The initial integration was not that smooth. Lin Yao first used the power of light to condense the holy garment. He then made the holy garment absorb the energy body of the Golden Warlion.
Unfortunately, despite their similarities, the two were unable to merge completely.
After the integration failed, Lin Yao thought hard for a long time and triggered the Light-Bulb Moment. This time, he did not integrate the two mature forms. Instead, he condensed the primitive form of the holy garment, making the guardian holy seal akin to ancient runes appear on his chest.
Following that, he integrated the holy seal and the Golden Warlion successfully.
With a height of 7.8 meters and a body length of 10 meters, the Golden Warlion’s body could store a massive amount of energy. Although the rune-like guardian holy seal seemed shabby, it became the mainstay during the integration, absorbing the Golden Warlion completely.
After absorbing it, the holy seal, which contained the guardian, was dazzling. Simultaneously, the pattern that represented protection had become more complicated. Just the sight of it made Lin Yao feel dizzy.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for these complicated words to take shape. After absorbing all the energy of the Golden Warlion, the dazzling guardian holy seal returned to Lin Yao’s chest. Like a tattoo imprinting itself on Lin Yao’s chest, the words transformed into a golden battle armor and settled on his chest.
The battle armor was completely gold and shaped like a human. It also had a pair of eagle-like wings on its back. At the same time, the helmet of the armor was like the head of a lion.
As he was protected by the armor, feelings of peace and power welled in Lin Yao’s heart.
The golden-level Celestial Warlion had transformed into armor to protect him. Of course, Lin Yao felt assured.
He felt more powerful after putting on the Lion King Armor, as he had discovered he could tap on the powers of the armor in addition to its defensive ability.
‘I’ve succeeded. I now have the powers of a gold warlord and one with a genius template.’
Feeling the connection between the holy garment and his own powers, Lin Yao felt very excited. He could truly feel the substantial increase in his survivability.
Lin Yao had been able to summon the Golden Warlion in the past, and the Golden Warlion would also swallow Lin Yao into its stomach and protect him. However, Lin Yao was unable to attack afterward, and the Golden Warlion’s movements would also be restricted.
Ever since he’d put on the battle armor, the two had already merged into one.
However, Lin Yao’s head also hurt because of something. After the integration, Lin Yao discovered that the battle armor was enormous in size and had a height of 7.8 meters. This was because the Golden Warlion was huge.
Lin Yao seemed to be controlling a mecha rather than wearing battle armor.
‘This is not a problem. A mecha is a man’s romantic partner… Speaking of this, I remember China’s Technique Chamber having a meditation technique to observe the constellations. I’ll get that for the Golden Warlion to practice next time so that it can meditate on Leo during its spare time. This way, the Golden Warlion can increase its level. When the meditation level advances, it can also use the power of the constellation. Then, my Leo Gold Holy Garment will be worthy of its name.’
All cultivation techniques were invented by humans. Although Lin Yao didn’t have the cultivation techniques of Saint Seiya, he could figure it out on his own. At the moment, Lin Yao felt that he was faring quite well.
Flapping the wings on the armor, Lin Yao tried to move around in the sky. After several minutes, his brow furrowed slightly.
‘The battle armor is too huge, and my mental strength is not strong enough. It feels quite stiff to control. Sure enough, the connection of the Lion King Armor is not as strong.’
When integration occurred, Lin Yao’s energy dependent would merge with his own body. The integration of the Golden Warlion and the holy garment had also been developed by Lin Yao under the influence of this integration ability.
The two situations seemed similar but were actually different.
When an energy creature was integrated into Lin Yao’s body, it could support Lin Yao in all aspects, and this kind of connection was stronger than when it merged with the holy garment.
This seemed wonderful, but there were shortcomings to it as well. In order to integrate an extremely powerful energy creature, Lin Yao’s body needed to be very strong as well.
At the moment, Lin Yao could integrate the feathered serpent spirit into his body but not the Golden Warlion. Not even for a second. His physical strength was lagging behind that of the Golden Warlion substantially.
This was the reason Lin Yao had tried various ways and means to merge the Golden Warlion with the holy garment.
The holy garment was worn outside the body and did not require Lin Yao’s body to be that powerful. The disadvantage was the weaker connection. If his mental strength was not strong enough, it would be very difficult to control it.
‘Both the integration into the body and the holy garment have their shortcomings, but this is not an issue for me at all.’
Right. This was not a problem for Lin Yao because he had more than one energy dependent.
After the Golden Warlion merged with the holy garment, although it was difficult for Lin Yao to control them, he could still fly. This had also liberated the feathered serpent spirit, as it no longer needed to be bound under Lin Yao’s feet.
After pondering this for a moment and allowing the feathered serpent spirit to fly freely outside, Lin Yao sank his consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness. “Golden Cicada—Integrate!”
Following Lin Yao’s command, the energized golden cicada chirped once and then merged with Lin Yao’s body.
At this point in time, Lin Yao had the integrated Golden Warlion and holy garment on the outside and the integrated golden cicada on the inside.
This was the reason he did not feel upset about the inconvenience of controlling the Lion King Armor.
‘The Lion King Armor is not convenient to use. It cannot be integrated smoothly because my physical strength is too weak. Both abilities have flaws, don’t they?
‘Never mind. I’ll integrate them both. That’s how willful I can be when I have many dependents!’
Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much!
