Chapter 629: Michael’s bid

After creating a shock wave, the armor returned to its initial color, losing all its glow. Unlike the audience, nobles and cultivators such as Michael noticed several runes dimly glowing on the ground. They suppressed the explosion so Rickston wouldn't get hurt by the shock wave. After landing on his feet, Rickston wiped off the blood oozing down the corner of his mouth. Rickston leaped into the air before landing beside the armored man. 

"As you have all witnessed, the armor stores the force of hits it receives and fires a powerful shock wave to knock out or even kill the opponents. The best thing about the armor is, its power grows with the wearer. For example, it will create a stronger and more powerful shock wave when a Fusion stage cultivator wears the armor than a Soul Refiner. This slave is only at the Core Formation stage. Still, the armor created a shock wave powerful enough to send me, a Soul Refiner flying," said Rickston.
