X-Dragon Era

The middle-aged man's words had hardly faded when Xin Yun decisively interjected, "Actually, it's quite simple—suits! As long as you have a suit, the problem can be solved."

Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, the middle-aged man's face immediately turned ashen, and he exclaimed in anger, "I must have been out of my mind to even try communicating with a child. Even fools know that suits are good, but do you have any idea how rare and difficult it is to gather a complete suit?"

Calmly looking at the middle-aged man, Xin Yun nodded and said, "Of course I know; suits cannot be deliberately forged. It's all up to fate—no one knows which two pieces of equipment will resonate with each other. You might forge a hundred pieces of equipment without finding a single one that resonates. To gather a complete Fully Activated Suit, it would require absolute luck.

You would probably have to choose from tens or even hundreds of thousands of pieces of equipment to find one!"

It might sound simple, but in reality, the Treasure Exchange Convention only lasts a month, with ten thousand stalls and more than a hundred thousand treasures being traded here. To pick out ten pieces that resonate among these hundred thousand treasures is truly adding difficulty to difficulty.

As for assembling a Fully Activated Suit, that could only be considered a favor from the god of destiny because it's nearly impossible.

Seeing Xin Yun's confident demeanor, the middle-aged man was taken aback and then said in disbelief, "Could it be! Could it be... you have such a suit in your hands? What tier is it? To what degree is it activated?"

Calmly looking at the middle-aged man before him, Xin Yun calmly said, "A crystal-tier Fully Activated Suit—it's for defense. It can provide a diamond one-star level shield.

As long as you wear this suit, not to mention crystal tier, even if you encounter a giant dragon of the diamond tier, you would have a chance to escape with your life, and at the very least, you wouldn't be injured by a Nine-Eyed Fox Dragon anymore."

Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, the middle-aged man's eyes widened. Crystal-tier equipment was nothing in his eyes; many large families directly produced crystal-tier, even amethyst-tier, equipment. But when it came to suits, they were truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Their young master was the only heir for three generations. Even if he couldn't become a top expert, they absolutely had to preserve his life. As long as the lineage continued, there was always hope.

However, the problem was that their young master's talent was too high. He had reached the astonishing level of Gold Six Star at the age of sixteen and was utterly fascinated by martial prowess—no one could stop him.

Truthfully, the amethyst equipment he originally wore was not bad at all, but the problem was that their young master could not fully exploit the power of the amethyst equipment. Thus, he was injured by a crystal-tier Fox Dragon and nearly lost his life.

For them, they didn't need treasures for offense, but for defense, they desperately needed them, especially crystal-tier, which was something they dreamed of obtaining. Their young master was already at Gold Six Star level, and it wouldn't take long for him to upgrade to the crystal tier. This set of crystal-tier equipment seemed to be specially prepared for their young master.

With this suit, even if he encountered a top diamond-tier expert, he would have at least a chance to escape with his life.

Yi Luo Xiang, standing nearby and listening to the conversation between Xin Yun and the middle-aged man, was utterly flabbergasted. He had actually succeeded in exchanging for a whole set of Fully Activated crystal suits—was he even human?

Though she already possessed great intelligence, the thought of assembling a Fully Activated Suit made her dizzy. One must remember the energy vibrations and frequency emitted by every piece of equipment, and then cross-reference them. It might take billions of calculations to figure out this set. Even someone as intelligent as she dared not dream of such a cognitive task—at least not yet.

On reflection, since the start of the Treasure Exchange Convention, Xin Yun always seemed to squint slightly, as if he was asleep but not sleeping, seemingly pondering something. Now Yi Luo Xiang knew he was comparing and calculating based on memory. My goodness...was he even human?

As Yi Luo Xiang thought, she blankly stared at the box in Xin Yun's hands. Now, to prove that the box indeed contained a Fully Activated crystal suit would be sufficient to demonstrate that Xin Yun was a super genius, an unparalleled sage among mankind!

With a "click," while Yi Luo Xiang was lost in thought, Xin Yun had already opened the box and calmly said to the middle-aged man, "This is the crystal-tier Fully Activated Suit. You can verify its effects yourself."

Hearing Xin Yun's words, the middle-aged man did not dare to delay. He was well aware that if he really took this suit back with him, the recognition for his contribution would be immense—advancing three ranks was not an extravagant hope!

After a brief contemplation, the middle-aged man removed his armor and then put on the crystal-tier suit piece by piece from Xin Yun's box.

As each piece of equipment was adorned, one by one, immense energies were gradually activated. When all ten components were fully assembled, their combined strength was simply beyond description.

With a slight manipulation of energy, soon... a crystal-clear shield of light violently radiated from the suit of crystal-colored armor, emanating about one meter all around the middle-aged man, taking the form of an ellipse, perfectly enveloping him within it.

Feeling the intensity of the shield, the middle-aged man couldn't help but be overjoyed. Yes... it was indeed the protection of diamond level, and particularly after his activation, a high-tier expert of the Amethyst level, the defense had become even more formidable.

Admiring the armor on his body, the middle-aged man ecstatically said, "Good, indeed it's a Fully Activated Suit of Crystal level, great... really great! Tell me... what would you like in exchange?"

Facing the middle-aged man's question, Xin Yun replied calmly, "Even though your young master is currently only at the Gold six rank, after eating the Divine Dragon Fruit, he will not only be saved but also have his strength enhanced. I wouldn't dare say how much, but reaching the Crystal level should be no problem.

Therefore, this suit can be taken back and worn immediately, and its full capabilities can be utilized."

Hearing Xin Yun's words, the middle-aged man nodded repeatedly. Indeed... there was nothing more suitable for their young master. However, the better the fit, the more he worried that Xin Yun would demand an excessive price. At this point, he could no longer afford not to make the exchange.

As the middle-aged man quietly fretted, Xin Yun extended his hand, pointing to the pocket behind the man, and said with a smile, "Let's make a bet. This suit of armor in exchange for what's in the pocket behind you."

"What! You..." Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, the middle-aged man was taken aback, then exclaimed loudly. That was his ancestral treasure; how could he simply trade it away?

Seeing the middle-aged man's horrified expression, Xin Yun knew that although this suit of armor was exceptionally valuable, it still fell short of that treasure. But... he was not worried that the other party would refuse to trade!

Without a doubt, this was the perfect treasure for their young master, one that could be used up to the diamond level. If he didn't agree to the exchange, the head of his family would certainly find out, especially since... there were eight companions who had come with him around there. Just think...

once the head of the family learned he had refused to exchange such a priceless treasure for his own selfish reasons, what kind of punishment would the middle-aged man face?

Xin Yun leaned in close to the middle-aged man's ear and whispered, "Sometimes, one must know when to let go. The saying goes, 'To gain, one must be willing to give up.' Although you'll lose a treasure today, won't your family head compensate you for the loss?"

Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up. Yes... although he would lose the ancestral treasure, the family head would certainly reward him with a treasure of equal value.

Thinking about it, he had already achieved quite a lot today. He'd arrived here promptly, acquired the Divine Dragon Fruit that saved the young master's life, and then sacrificed his personal interest to use a family heirloom to get the most suitable suit of armor for the young master. With all this, let alone multiple promotions, becoming an elder was inevitable!

How could the family head not reward someone who put the family above all else? Otherwise, how would the family head's authority be respected in the future?

Looking at the several colleagues beside him, with them as witnesses, he was not worried that the family head would disbelieve him. And precisely because they were present, he had to make this deal. Otherwise, not only would his merits for today be entirely negated, but he would also offend the family head, and he could forget about any future prospects.

With these thoughts, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, took off the pocket behind him, and passed it to Xin Yun, saying, "Aren't you afraid that what's inside this pocket is just junk?"

Hearing the man's words, Xin Yun laughed. Naturally, he knew what was inside; there was no reason for him to be afraid. However, this was not something he could openly admit.

Xin Yun shook his head and said, "I've always been a bit of a gambler. Seeing you so willing to give away a Ninth Grade Dragon Creation Stone without batting an eye, yet constantly touching the pocket behind you, I assume something precious is inside. If I'm wrong, then it's my bad luck. But I think the chances of being wrong are very small. It's just a matter of how much I will gain."

The middle-aged man looked at Xin Yun with a wry smile. The kid had indeed not gambled wrong, but nor had he lost out; this indeed was the most suitable trade. But... was this really just a child? A child who looked to be no more than seven or eight years old?
