Since the armor of these soldiers might be unusable, Lin Xu decided not to preserve it intact.
He stretched out his hand, and streaks of golden hair shot out from his arm.
He wanted to test whether the Golden Power could be effective against this kind of armor of authority worn by nobles.
The next moment, Lin Xu's golden hair struck the foremost warrior.
The warriors were struggling to advance and had little strength left to resist Lin Xu's sudden attack. At this moment, their armor and shields were struck by the golden hair.
Golden markings appeared on the armor of these people.
Although this noble armor obviously weakens the golden ability to some extent, the effect is far less than the weakening of telekinetic abilities such as life ability and soul ability.
Many places struck by the golden hair turned to gold, and the armor's structure began to crumble.
Lin Xu's eyes lit up.
The potential of the Golden Ability may be far greater than he imagined.
This special ability is quite powerful whether dealing with metal puppets or full-body armor.
In particular, the ability of hair to turn matter into gold is a perfect counter to special armor.
With the warriors' armor destroyed, Lin Xu did not hesitate to use Soul Tear again.
This time, these warriors' defenses weren't as strong.
Some blue souls were ejected from the gaps in the armor, and then torn apart piece by piece under Lin Xu's oppressive aura.
Some soldiers suddenly froze, then stopped in their tracks and began babbling incoherently.
Others, however, became uncoordinated and fell to the ground during their forward lunge, only managing to make a thrusting motion.
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow.
These melee warriors' armor was quite strong; even when struck by the Soul Tear, it still managed to protect part of their souls from damage, preventing them from becoming idiots.
Judging from their current state, even if they don't become idiots, their fate is pretty much sealed.
After dealing with all the ordinary soldiers, Lin Xu turned his gaze to Wang En and the ten people beside him.
The armor of the ten people around Wang En was clearly different from the others; the armor had a golden sheen and looked very sturdy and dense.
"Is he a knight's squire?"
Lin Xu guessed the identities of these ten people.
Even if Chen Shaojie is a minor nobleman, his family wouldn't have much power to turn all of Chen Shaojie's men into knights.
After all, only the current island lord can join the newcomer test in the same period. Even if Chen Shaojie's family has dozens of knights, it still depends on luck to be in the same period as Chen Shaojie.
Therefore, these noble families would usually train students with potential to become knights and squires.
These individuals are usually considered subordinates of formal knights, responsible for assisting them in various activities. However, in reality, knight squires are essentially apprentice knights, and their combat strength is generally not weak.
If there is a vacancy for a full knight, some people will be selected from the knight's squires to fill the vacancy.
This method of promotion is the orthodox route to obtaining a knighthood.
The so-called nominal knights, which nobles used to assign to commoners, were just a way to fool outsiders who didn't know the ropes. In reality, they were of very limited use and far removed from the true title of knight. They were more like carrots dangling in front of a stupid donkey.
The equipment worn by the knights and squires before him and Wang En was clearly more advanced. Lin Xu wondered if his golden powers would be effective against their armor. Without hesitation, he aimed his golden hair at the squires and released it.
When Wang En saw Lin Xu easily take down the melee soldier, he gasped in astonishment.
"Another superpower? And it's the one that counters the Authority Armor!"
Wang En felt a chill run down his spine, staring intently at Lin Xu:
"Lin Xu has already demonstrated two superpowers... no, three! He used two different methods to slow down the soldiers! Add to that this gold-level ability, and the swordsmanship inheritance... Is this kid really just a commoner?"
Wang En suddenly realized that Lin Xu's strength at this moment might not be weaker than that of the fully armed Young Master Chen.
It's even possible that he'll surpass Young Master Chen.
Lin Xu possessed this level of skill after only a dozen days of being a rookie!
"This civilian is terrifying!"
Wang En felt a deep sense of apprehension, along with a sudden surge of realization.
Perhaps he can no longer wash away the shame of the past.
Even he himself would most likely not be able to return alive to report back...
However, Wang En glared at him again:
"We can't let this kid's information remain hidden like this. We must let Chen Shaojie know how terrifying this kid is!"
While his ten knights and attendants were engaged in battle with Lin Xu, Wang En quickly wove together information in his mind, sending the abilities and strength Lin Xu displayed to Chen Shaojie's communication channel.
"Young Master Chen, be very careful of this man! Don't confront him head-on unless you're absolutely sure you can win!"
"Anyway, according to that young master's plan, as long as the nobles continue to explore the golden ruins, they can obtain the highest reward of this trial. As for a commoner, we'll find a way to destroy him sooner or later..."
Wang En quickly left his observations and judgments on the communication channel, and also gave some suggestions.
After finishing all this, Lin Xu had already defeated ten knight squires, who were leisurely watching him.
Lin Xu was currently breaking the neck of a knight's squire to test the defensive capabilities of the squire's armor.
He had just used his golden powers to attack the servant's armor.
Compared to ordinary warrior armor, servant armor is indeed much more precise and sturdy. Even if the Gold Power could take effect, it could only turn the outermost layer of armor into gold.
To completely destroy the structure of this armor using the power of gold, one would need to continuously fire gold, always hitting the same spot.
If you want to finish the battle quickly, it's quite difficult to use your golden powers to defeat enemies equipped with this kind of gear.
It would take at least three minutes of continuous firing to possibly damage the structure of this type of armor using the Golden Ability.
This is just servant armor. If it were to face knight armor, or even armor of a higher rank, the attack time of the Gold Power would likely be much longer.
"It seems that the Golden Ability also needs a deeper upgrade. In addition, after capturing these armors, we should also study their structure and find their weaknesses."
Lin Xu assessed his shortcomings and approached Wang En:
"Sir Knight, have you prepared your last words? Are you ready to fight me now?"
Wang En raised his longsword and glared at Lin Xu.
"Commoner, even if you have the upper hand for now, you can't defeat Young Master Chen, much less the nobles! You're just a lucky clown who's put on a funny show for a while, but you'll eventually be booed off the stage!"
Lin Xu looked at Wang En and smiled faintly:
"Life is not a performance. If you compare yourself and your master to actors, do you already know that you will eventually leave the stage?"
