94 Three Months Later

A few hours had passed by now as Sheng Feilong came out of a Mecha Designer's workshop. His face was slightly pale, but he showed an excited expression when he met up with She Meixiao again.

Just after coming from out from Old Tang's private blacksmithing workshop, Sheng Feilong and She Meixiao headed over to meet up with a Mecha Designer to help with Sheng Feilong's Battle Armour.

Quickly finding a suitable one, they started explaining the five metal Spirit Alloy's characteristics to the designer. Afterwards, She Meixiao left, leaving the designer and Sheng Feilong alone in the room to discuss about the specifics in private.

Sheng Feilong didn't hold back and gave the Mecha Designer every piece of information that would help perfecting his Battle Armour. They even sparred for a while so that the designer could get a better grasp over Sheng Feilong's habits, fighting style, Soul Skills and the likes.

Showing off both of his Spirit Essences, Sheng Feilong made sure to fight to his full potential; He didn't have to worry about injuring the Mecha Designer, anyways. The latter was a rank 7 Mecha Designer, as well as a Rank 86 Soul Douluo!

Enthusiastic in creating such a special Battle Armour for a Soul Master with Twin Spirit Essences that were both exceedingly powerful and different from each other, the Mecha Designer asked Sheng Feilong hundreds of questions; Most of them concerning battle related information, but the more he asked, the more weird questions came to be. At one point, the Mecha Designer had even asked whether Sheng Feilong liked toast or cereals more!

In the end, both of them got absorbed into starting the blueprint for Sheng Feilong's Battle Armour. Still, the Mecha Designer was naturally much more experienced than Sheng Feilong; The latter couldn't keep up with many of the advanced theories and techniques in practise!

The more he didn't understand, the more excited Sheng Feilong became. Working with such a Designer, he knew he would get the best possible Battle Armour for sure. Sure, the man was eccentric, but as the saying goes, there's only a fine line between genius and insanity!

By the end of their session, Sheng Feilong was utterly exhausted, mentally; Still, the amount of progress they made was substantial. Before Sheng Feilong left, he asked the Mecha Designer how long it would take, and the latter estimated it to be done within a week if no complications arise. They also agreed that Sheng Feilong would bring him one of the five metal Spirit Alloys as soon as possible.

Having rejoined She Meixiao outside of the workshop, they talked about the design briefly before She Meixiao smiled lightly and patted Sheng Feilong on the shoulder. "I think that's enough for today. You're utterly exhausted, so how about we go back and see how Sir Spirit Flamingo is doing?"

Sheng Feilong readily agreed; It's been half a day, after all. Going back the same ways they came to this section of Daedalus' headquarters, they arrived at the facilities She Meixiao gave Song Weihan to use after a few minutes.

Inside, the chaos had subsided and order took place. Lightly scanning the room with his eyes, Sheng Feilong smiled before walking over to Song Weihan. "It looks exactly like the other laboratory, just with much, much more room. Don't you want to use the rest of the halls as well, Master?"

Song Weihan had already noticed them when they arrived, but he was quite busy, only answering Sheng Feilong slightly absentmindedly. "No, we'll use them in the future. We're currently lacking most of the equipment needed to create Artificial Soul Bones, but the desks and workstations layout is made so we can neatly place the necessary machinery without having to relocate anything."

After that he, abruptly stood up, grabbing a document on his desk and heading over to one of the researchers. Giving the document to his subordinate, he quickly gave them a few instructions and went back to Sheng Feilong and She Meixiao. "Sorry, I was a bit distracted. Shall we head to a more quiet place?"

A moment later, the three of them had retreated to a nearby office room to talk in private. Song Weihan was really interested in hearing of Sheng Feilong's plan for his Battle Armour; It was one of the most important things in the life of a expert Soul Master, after all.

Hearing the whole story, he fell silent for for a few seconds. "Feilong, since it will still take some time for the blueprint and the material to finish, I think your best option would be to try and strive to become a rank 6 Mecha Maker. Like that, handling a five metal Spirit Alloy will become much easier. And you'll be able to work with more advanced blueprints as well. It would increase the quality of your Battle Armour drastically."

Sheng Feilong was surprised for a moment, but before he could answer, She meixiao spoke up with a serious expression. "I agree; it realy is a good idea to do so. However, I do have one condition: He must be able to finish his Battle armour within five months."

Frowning at the sudden input, Song Weihan looked back at She Meixiao. He didn't understand why she would set a five months deadline, before it suddenly hit him and he spoke up with a surprised expression. "You want him to join that journey?"

She Meixiao smiled lightly and calmly replied Song Weihan with a nod. "Yes, I plan to do so. The old man had asked me to go personally as a few important things have to be sorted out over there, so I thought about taking Feilong with me."

While the two of them were talking, Sheng Feilong stood by their side, confused about what is going on. He didn't know about any special event that would happen in a few month, nor did he know where She Meixiao would have to go.

Song Weihan notice Sheng Feilong's questioning gaze and smiled lightly. "Don't worry about it, Feilong. There will be a bit of a special journey in a few months, but you don't need to mind it. Just focus on creating your Battle Armour for now. Well, if you can complete it within five months, then I won't stop you from joining Madam She."

She Meixiao smiled, glad that Song Weihan agreed to her condition. Same as the latter, she also didn't tell Sheng Feilong anything about what kind of journey it would be, so the latter would just focus on creating his Battle Armour. And her plan worked out perfectly.

With the new bonus of a special, secret journey being on the line, Sheng Feilong's motivation skyrocketted one again. The next few days were spent solely on cultivation, safe for the few instances where he was talking with Daedalus' Mecha Designer to help with a few details.

Four days later, Old Tang had called for Sheng Feilong as he had created the first prototype for the five metal Spirit Alloy. Sheng Feilong quickly headed over there inspecting it and taking it with him. This first piece had a harmony rate of 90 percent, so it was more than suitable to be used by him.

Bringing it over to the Mecha Designer, Sheng Feilong was once again caught up in a multiple hours long discussion about his own Battle Armour; With the new metal as its base, there had to be made a few adjustments. Sheng Feilong left the workshop completely exhausted late in the evening.

Starting the next day, Sheng Feilong began focussing on his Mecha making studies in order to reach the sixth rank as She Meixiao and Song Weihan had recommended him.

This quickly became a daily routine for him; With cultivating in the morning, spending some time with Song Weihan at the Artificial Soul Bone research centre in the day and studying in the evening.

Like this, three months passed by quietly, Sheng Feilong ceaselessly folowing his own, boring routine. On this day, Sheng Feilong was excitedly looking for Song Weihan after his cultivation session. Easily finding the latter in the research centre, Sheng Feilong beckoned for him to follow him to talk in private.

Standing in the office room some distance away from the research centre again, Sheng Feilong smiled and released his Soul Power. "Master, I've already reached rank 50!"
