Chapter 860: Miraculous Iron Glove

If he isn’t making a battle armor, then what the hell is he doing?!
The dark and swarthy iron glove made it pretty clear what was going on. But because lord’s knowledge in manufacturing was lacking, he was probably embarrassed to admit it.
Rat touched his head and waved his left hand which was covered by the iron glove in the air. After some time, he noticed a peculiarity. He waved the left hand a few more times and discovered that the iron glove surprisingly didn’t have any weight.
How was it possible for a glove created from metal to not have any weight?
The people of Asura race possessed an innate advantage in terms of strength, so even someone like Rat who didn’t have bloodline ability and was as thin as a match could lift a hundred catties without breaking a sweat.
The iron glove was only a small part of a battle armor, so its weight should be very small, but that did not mean that it would not weigh at all.
Rat extended his fingers and flung the iron glove away. While he was nursing his pain, a crisp sound came from the glove. This proved that it was definitely made of metal, so why did he feel that it didn’t have any weight?
He picked up the dark iron glove and began to observe it carefully. Although it was dark and swarthy, he noticed on closer inspection that it was somewhat different from the gloves of other battle armor.
Ordinary battle armor used many metals, so their thickness was visible to the naked eye. But when Rat looked at the iron glove horizontally, it was as thin as a piece of paper.
“Lord, why is the iron glove created by you so thin? Although it doesn’t have any weight, it still made a crisp and clear sound when falling. What’s the use of this kind of battle armor? I fear that it won’t be able to resist even a single attack of an expert,” Rat said with suspicion in his voice while examining the iron glove.
Weightless gloves were certain to have weak defensive strength.
Li Yunmu shook his head and looked at the puzzled Rat with a hint of a smile on his face. He took out a flux origin stone from his pocket and handed it to Rat. “Place this flux origin stone in the groove, then test the difference.”
Rat took the offered item with a doubtful expression on his face. Flux origin stones were low value stuff in Asura City. They were found in the bodies of vicious beasts and contained some energy, but they were nothing more than toys in the eyes of Asura people.
How could something like that transform the glove?
When the bright flux origin stone was placed in the groove of the iron glove, it instantly began to shine. The energy flowing out of the flux origin stone formed channels on the surface of the dark and swarthy iron glove.
So mysterious and strange…
Rat put on the glove on his left hand and punched at the wall in front of him. The instant the glove collided with the wall, the flux origin stone in the groove erupted with dazzling light, and a layer of ice appeared on the wall. It then spread in all directions.
That…. That…. That is incredibly miraculous!
Rat pulled his hand back, and the light coming from the flux origin stone in the groove disappeared. Everything returned to normal, with only the ice on the wall remaining as the only clue that something had happened.
Rat looked at the iron glove without having anything to say for a very long time.
“Lord, how did you make this glove so mystical?” he shouted out once he regained his wits and touched the dark and swarthy glove with admiration.
After all, he was an ordinary person with no knowledge, but that strike against the wall contained the strength of at least a third layer flux expert. Moreover, it also had a frost attribute. If Rat entered a melee with Old Bastard while wearing the mystical glove, his victory would be all but guaranteed.
Attaching a specific attribute to an attack was not something a flux expert could do. Only sage flux experts and above could do achieve that. Apart from them, only vicious beasts blessed by the heavens could release attacks with a specific attribute.
Li Yunmu smiled mysteriously. When he saw that the flux origin stone was considered a toy by the people of Asura City, he found it ridiculously funny in his heart. On Earth, flux origin stones were not only used for cultivation but were also considered as a type of natural resource.
That is why he would have never expected that people of Asura City would ignore it and only consider it as something ornamental. It was simply ridiculous.
An iron glove with a flux origin stone could release an energy attack with an attribute. If an entire battle armor was created like that, including weapons using the flux origin stone of the same attribute, the user’s strength could be amplified ten times.
A ten fold amplification in strength would allow someone without any cultivation to contend against ninth level great flux experts.
“All the secrets are stored in the flux origin stone. It is the reason that vicious beasts can release attribute attacks. When this stone containing energy of a specific attribute is attached to the iron glove, it is also able to release attribute attacks.
“Just by wearing battle armor, ordinary people can rise to the level of flux experts. After their strength increases by multiple folds, their power can then reach the next level,” Li Yunmu said with a calm expression.
Earth had already created such battle armor a long time ago, so it wasn’t anything unfamiliar to Li Yunmu. But for a native of Asura City like Rat, it was simply a miracle.
“With multiple increases in strength, an ordinary person can contend against a great flux expert of ninth level. If a great flux expert of ninth level wore it, they could deal with initial stage sage flux experts.”
It’s such a miraculous object…
Rat looked at the iron glove on his left hand with shining eyes and fiddled with it for some time. He was like a completely different person from just a moment ago.
Li Yunmu then shifted his attention to the resource lands on the four maps, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. There was a mine of black gold in the area transferred to him, but the problem was that its location was somewhat closer to Lakshmi City.
Deva Clan had given him a herb garden at the edge of Asura City’s border, in a deep jungle. It had countless vicious beasts and devil beasts, so a person without sufficient strength could not guard it.
Those resource grounds might be extremely difficult to use for others, but they were comparatively good for him. The herb garden provided by Deva Clan not only supplied him with precious herbs, but also had countless vicious beasts and devil beasts in its vicinity.
What did they represent? They represented an endless supply of flux origin stones, which was a subsidiary resource.
“Alright, I will provide you the blueprint for this battle armor. You go and create a craftsmen hall consisting of descendants of Ground Clan, then ask them to focus on creating the battle armor. As for flux origin stones, I plan to issue an order in Asura City,” Li Yunmu said while hitting the table which held the maps.
“Also, this is another set of blueprints. Assign people to create them. Once they are done, focus on manufacturing battle armor.”
When another pile of blueprints appeared in Li Yunmu’s hand, he passed them onto Rat.
The man excitedly collected everything and rushed out to choose suitable people among Ground Clan to create a craftsmen hall. He believed that if he could create a lot of battle armor, then Ground Clan’s strength would increase greatly.
It would enhance the safety of people dispatched to guard the resource lands.
