Yama Rising

Chapter 352: Inaugural Launch of an Armament (4)

Their hearts are starting to ignite with passion…

“Rodent.” He leaned over and instructed, “Go ensure that those in charge of the New Tigerform Battle Armor are on standby. As soon as the last piece, ‘Go Time’, is over, I want them to be ready for the launch at the moment’s notice!”

Time passed quickly. In the moments that followed, the feudal officials were bombarded by a structured sequence of deeply emotive pieces. The feudal officials did all they could to maintain a look of indifference on their faces, but a closer inspection would reveal their true emotions in their micro expressions.

The music that was played easily reminded them of the glories of their past lives.

Dozens of minutes were all it took for them to transcend the vast rivers of time and return to their glorious era. It brought them back to the moments in which their hearts were the softest, and also reminded them of the times when their passions burned the brightest. When the last piece, ‘Go Time’, started, everyone immediately knew that it was the last piece on the list. The feudal officials had initially intended to start winding down the burning passion in their hearts when the final piece came on. But…

It was the battle song that was listened to by tens of millions of summoners worldwide!

Not at all. Anyone who knew this piece would know that whilst not as epic as ‘Star Sky’ or ‘Victory’, it was more than enough as a closing piece! It was filled with powerful, striking beats and heavy bass that would fire up every cell in one’s body and ignite their weary and worn battle spirit with phoenix fire. It was a declaratory piece that signalled the commencement of battle!

The orchestra played their hearts out, while the conductor moved his entire body forcefully to the impact of each beat. The entire auditorium was instantly sent erupting to a whole new level of passion, flooding their senses with a new wave of energy like they had never felt before!

This was the glory that should be accorded to him in the first place!

After all, how could one simply get high like this, and then just leave without any form of closure?

Thus, none of the feudal officials were willing to back down at all.

The feudal officials’ cerebral cortexes were buzzing with lingering intoxication as their goosebumps began to recede. The hotbloodedness had slowly begun to subside, causing everyone to finally breathe a soft sigh of relief. Just then, the lights suddenly came on again.

“Everyone, I hope you found the concert earlier satisfactory.” Without missing a beat, he continued with a faint smile on his face, “But that’s just an appetizer.”

That said, the main course was finally going to be served.

“As you all know, the new Hell isn’t well-off financially. In fact, this is an undeniable truth of every single new underworld out there. Therefore, this unworthy Third King Yanluo of Hell has no choice but to auction some things away. Please, have a look.”

“Hmm?” The eyes of Liu Yu, Gao Changgong, Chaghan and some of the other feudal officials immediately lit up. They weren’t even given a chance to catch their breaths. Just as their hearts were thumping wildly and still reeling from the effects of the stirring music, the object for their venting of stress had already appeared!

Armor!

Of course, they weren’t completely overwhelmed - at least, not yet. Their heart was already desperately nodding in agreement that they should let themselves loose and indulge in these temptations. Rationality was the only thing that was holding them back right now.

Yet another voice whispered: Calm down. You have to calm down! Armaments are a massive expenditure. You have to make sure to only buy the best of the best!

Whoosh… Just then, a line of words appeared on the wall behind the New Tigerform Battle Armor.

Defensive power: Hellguard-class

Features: Lightweight - the entire set of armor weighs only ten kilograms. Additionally, the breastplate, spaulders and other joint areas have slots for the insertion of Yin spirit stones. Once embedded, they can amplify one’s Yin energy, and even amplify the effects of battle formations such that 10% less Yin soldiers are required to set up all battle formations.

It was a short and succinct introduction.

This armor… looked formidable, but armors that were merely good for their looks were dime a dozen. Anyone could make them look majestic, but aesthetics were completely useless on a battlefield. What they needed was practical benefits!

A set of armor that weighed only ten kilograms? And one which possesses Hellguard-class defense?!

That’s impossible… Although none of them had ever delved into the study of physics and were thus unaware of the correlation between density and weight, their experience with armors had told them it was only logical that heavier armors would offer greater defense, and the converse was true as well. Yet this set of armor appeared to completely redefine this entire paradigm of theirs!

It had to be said that every single feudal official in the room had only made a name for themselves because they were well-versed in both matters of governance and military endeavours. Thus, as soon as they drew their minds to the potential of such a set of armor, their eyes immediately burned bright with an intense gaze.

Every single feudal official in the room had their own set of special forces under their command. As long as they could equip their special forces with this set of armor, it would be no different from giving tigers wings! Chaghan even thought of equipping his Iron Stupa forces with these armors - if he could really do so, he would be able to turn them into a mobile meat grinder!

Both men practically moved at the same time, sending out a wave of Yin energy that promptly transformed into a claw that sought to push Zhao Seven back behind the curtains. But as soon as they did, ten other sets of Yin energy erupted and collided directly against the two, sending their Yin energy scattering into the surroundings.

He was intensely anxious.

“Lord Yu, has King Yanluo Qin said anything about this matter just yet? Is it proper for a eunuch to be speaking before the emperor does?” Gao Changgong was clearly speaking to Yu Qian, yet his gaze remained transfixed on Zhao Seven and the armor he was clothed with. He licked his lips, before turning to Qin Ye and bowing respectfully, “Lord Qin, I wonder how many sets of the New Tigerform you’re selling? And what’s the selling price?”

His first instinct was to purchase these sets of armor!

The war songs earlier had caused his heart to boil ferociously. How could he embarrass himself by backing down now? And now that the perfect opportunity had presented itself, what was he still waiting for?

Very good… Qin Ye swept his gaze around. He was certain that the feudal officials were going to purchase the New Tigerform. It was the real deal after all. The earlier concert was just to smoothen out the decision-making process, as well as encourage them to loosen their wallets a little.

“Ten thousand sets.” As soon as Qin Ye responded, Yu Qian immediately cried out, “My Lord! Please reconsider!!”

That man walked out confidently and bowed at everyone, “Your humble servant, Li Shunzhai, greets the esteemed feudal officials.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yu turned and gave his attendant a meaningful look, and his attendant immediately exploded with a blast of Hellguard-class Yin energy and flew onto center stage.
