"Armor Reinforcement?"
"No... this is Armament Haki! And I, Wang Lufei, am its creator!"
Wang Lufei's grin spread wide as he shouted excitedly.
The principle behind Wang Lufei's Armament Haki was simple.
Initially, he mastered Armor Reinforcement in just half an hour. But he soon discovered a fatal flaw:
By spreading the energy evenly across the entire body, the armor's power became diluted.
While the enhancement boosted overall defense, it was utterly useless against the War Camel Beast's devastating attacks—it still ended in a one-hit kill.
A longtime fan of One Piece, Naruto, and all things edgy, Wang Lufei combined elements of Hunter x Hunter's nen abilities and One Piece's Armament Haki.
Instead of distributing the Armor Reinforcement across his entire body, he focused its energy on a single point.
For example, by concentrating the energy solely in his fist, the fist's strength multiplied several times over, transforming it into an indomitable weapon for attack or an impenetrable shield for defense.
It only took him two and a half hours to develop this technique.
The remaining three hours?
He spent perfecting the aesthetic.
Because strength might fade, but style lasts forever.
Without a jet-black appearance, could it even be called Armament Haki?
To achieve the desired look, Wang Lufei tapped into his knowledge of biology, manipulating his body's melanin distribution during the activation of Armor Reinforcement.
How did the armor technique move melanin around his body?
Does that really matter?
"It's all about being cool!"
Meanwhile, some players struggled with the Ice Arrow Kiting Strategy.
"Why can't I master this spell?"
"Ugh, I'm more of a close-combat kind of guy."
"I've been practicing Armor Reinforcement for hours, and it's completely useless!"
A group of seven disgruntled players gathered around a hotpot in the plaza, eating and lamenting their failures.
"Brothers! Allow me to save you!"
Striding confidently toward them, Wang Lufei announced his arrival with dramatic flair.
"What?"
The players stared at him in confusion.
"Who said Ice Magic is unbeatable?"
"My Armament Haki is the ultimate technique!"
Wang Lufei declared boldly, his posture radiating confidence.
"...Huh?"
The group exchanged puzzled glances.
Armament Haki?
Was this guy serious?
This was a cultivation world. Where did this One Piece nonsense come from?
An incense stick's worth of time later, they were no longer laughing.
After witnessing Wang Lufei use Armament Haki to take down a War Camel Beast in direct combat, they were utterly stunned.
"Armor Reinforcement can be used like that?"
"So, this game actually allows for Armament Haki?!"
"This is insane! I'm officially in love with this game!"
"First, I thought this was a cultivation game. Then I thought it was a Souls-like. Turns out it's a true open-world sandbox game!"
The players stared at Wang Lufei with newfound admiration.
"Lufei, teach us Armament Haki!"
One by one, they implored him with earnest expressions.
"Of course! I, Wang Lufei, never keep secrets!"
"Welcome to the Armament Haki Crash Course!"
Within an hour:
"Armament Haki!"
"Charge Kick!"
The seven players roared in unison, their reinforced blackened legs shattering boulders into dust with their kicks.
"Congratulations, you've graduated!" Wang Lufei declared with satisfaction.
"Now, follow me. Let's show those War Camel Beasts the power of the Armament Squad!"
With a triumphant wave, Wang Lufei led his seven disciples down the mountain, brimming with confidence.
Meanwhile, in the Sect's main hall:
He Yiming opened his eyes, a contented smile on his face.
"Finally, my breakthrough is solidified!"
Thanks to the stability provided by his Fate Technique, the massive leap in cultivation from two rapid breakthroughs was fully stabilized in just a day.
But curiosity soon crept in.
"I wonder how the players are doing?"
He opened the system interface to check their progress.
And froze.
In just one day, the players had slain 562 War Camel Beasts.
"What the...?"
Their efficiency was beyond comprehension. It even surpassed Niu Roumian's earlier Trap + Leap of Faith Method.
"What did these lunatics figure out this time?"
Descending the mountain to investigate, He Yiming was soon greeted by a bizarre sight.
At first, he saw two players using Ice Arrow Kiting to slowly whittle down a War Camel Beast.
That much was within reason.
Then he saw... this.
"Armament Haki!!!"
Four players roared in unison, their right feet turning pitch black.
"Charge Kick!"
They leapt into the air, their reinforced legs slamming into a War Camel Beast.
The impact knocked the beast to the ground, visibly injuring it.
Seizing the opportunity, three more players rushed forward.
"Armament Haki!"
"Charge Kick!"
Their synchronized blackened kicks rained down on the beast's exposed underbelly.
It was a full-on gang beating.
The once-mighty War Camel Beast, a fearsome Spirit Vein-level monster, was stomped to death in a flurry of relentless blows.
Emerging from the chaos, Wang Lufei stepped forward, satisfied with his squad's performance.
"Well done, my Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
With a dramatic wave of his hand, he commanded, "Next target—move out!"
"Lufei, you're the best!"
His followers cheered as they charged toward their next victim.
He Yiming stood there in stunned silence.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Is this not a cultivation world?
"What the hell is Armament Haki? And who the heck are these Seven Warlords of the Sea?!"
