Shadow Hack Chapter 496 Types of Expert Armor

It was said that when a flux expert stepped into the great circle and started the process of congealing their armor, the process wasn't the same for every person. In other words, if one thousand flux experts congealed their great flux expert armor, all of them would be different. There would be a thousand different expert armors.
Thus, the process and calculation for congealing the great flux expert armor were equally important.
When a cultivator wanted to congeal a formidable great flux expert armor, one had to take into consideration their resources, background, and talent.
A formidable great flux expert's armor was actually dependant on the origin of the flux expert.
Previously, Li Yunmu had seen a lot of information and gained a lot of experience regarding congealing the great flux expert armor. He'd even asked the system to prepare since a long time ago as well as had made a lot of preparations himself.
If Li Yunmu claimed that his calculating ability was second in the world, then no one would claim the first position for themselves.
The reason for that was very simple, because he had the system which had assisted him during the entire planning section before congealing the great flux expert armor.
At that moment, Li Yunmu was hovering over the center of the lake in his heavenly world in a cross-legged position. Before that he had taken a shower, changed his clothes, burned an incense, and conditioned himself to be in the peak state. By then, his heart had attained unprecedented tranquility.
The land in front of him was filled with a pile of objects emitting treasure light. At first glance, it could be ascertained that there were more than ten items in it.
According to what he knew from the flux experts of the Origin World, there were three methods to congeal a great flux expert armor.
First method was basic congealing.
This method was very simple, basically reflected in the name. The core of this congealing was the simplest material to congeal an armor.
For example, sacred steel or perhaps ocean iron wood and so on. It required the materials comparable to steel or iron. They had to be modeled using one's flux energy to congeal the most basic type of great flux expert armor.
Under ordinary circumstances, the defense of the armor congealed using this method would be pretty good, but that was its only good characteristic.
Apart from raising their owner's defense, this sort of armor had at most one more supplementary ability—to amplify their flux energy strength by one third.
This was the most basic basic congealing. A great flux expert armor congealed with this technique was better than not having anything, but it was the weakest, most ordinary and basic type of armor.
But because the majority of the cultivators didn't possess the resources and circumstances to chase after an even higher layer flux expert armor, it was congealed by the majority of flux experts in the Origin World.
It wasn't that nobody wanted to congeal even better or more formidable great flux expert armor, but that they were out of options. Under normal circumstances, they would be thankful to the heavens if they could maintain their cultivation speed and not fall behind.
The second method of congealing the armor was called opulent congealing.
This method was far better compared to the first one. Apart from using good defensive metals like iron wood as in the first method, it required materials like the main currency of the Origin World, namely silver sand coins and so on.
As previously mentioned, the silver sand and gold granule coins were created from secret silver and gold located at the bottom of the sea bed. Compared to other materials, they could conduct flux energy much better. Because of that, opulent congealing was a method in which one threw their money to congeal the great flux expert armor.
The number of people who followed this method was only second to the number of people who congealed their armor using the first method. The prerequisite to to using was that one had to possess ample wealth.
Otherwise, even if ordinary people wanted to use silver sand or gold granules, they wouldn't be able to produce several tons or even several tens of tons at the drop of a hat.
This was the reason why such a thing had become the hard currency used by ordinary people. Since flux experts also needed them in large amounts, these two types of materials had been accepted as the mainstream currency of the Origin World.
In terms of functionality, the armor congealed using the second method was much better when compared to the basic congealing. Apart from possessing pretty good defense, the amplification of flux energy strength reached up to 50%, which made it much better compared to the first type of basic armor.
Moreover, after adding the silver sand and golden granules, the congealed flux expert armor also possessed shield energy.
Although the strength of the protective shield energy wasn't very formidable, it could resist some of the energy and spiritual attacks. It also possessed the ability of most basic screening of body odor, presence, and energy.
After investing their silver sand and golden granules, the fiercely rich could even exploit the shield energy to stay at deep sea layer or lower for a longer period of time.
That being said, the second type, opulent congealing, was much better compared to the first type. As for how much, that depended upon the silver sand and gold granules invested by the cultivator's family.
Several tons was the most basic requirement. Some people would use just that, but others would use several tens of tons, even reaching up to a hundred.
The great flux expert armor congealed using this process also provided a large flux energy amplification. Some of the extremely enormous great flux expert armor were even comparable to the top notch treasure congealed armor.
That was right, the third type of method to congeal the flux armor was known as treasure congealing.
The only people who could choose this method were every region's elite, and not even ordinary ones, but rather the elites of first tier sects.
They either possessed a family with enormous background and resources or were considered as future successors of a powerful sect. Only this type of people could possess the confidence to choose treasure refining.
This method comprised of using sacred steel, silver sand, and gold granules as foundation. The worth mentioning fact here would be that these were the most basic materials.
After the three types of metals, treasured tools and deity soldier weapons available in the Origin World had to be added into the mix. They were followed by some rarely seen heavenly treasures for assistance.
Only after using the above mentioned materials could treasure armor be congealed.
It was viewed as the most powerful type of great flux expert armor that could be congealed by the people of the Origin World.
Its strength was reflected in the formidable defense and powerful shield energy. Compared to ordinary opulent armor, the abilities of treasure armor were on another level.
Its most prominent feature was that it possessed a characteristic called Expert Armor which was a formidable ability that would awaken in the one who congealed such an armor.
