Connecting rune

== Energy transfer ==
Only then did Long Chen notice that those Dragonblood warriors were pale and covered in sweat.
He immediately understood. "You actually managed to transfer energy through space?"
At this time, he noticed that everyone's armor was glowing ever so slightly. It was very subtle. In an intense battle where everyone was fighting, it definitely wouldn't be noticed.
He really had fallen for it, thinking that Guo Ran had somehow managed to come up with some crazy idea and make something capable of storing energy and supporting him in battle.
Long Chen hadn't expected that Guo Ran had been silently borrowing the power of the entire Dragonblood Legion. Long Chen hadn't sensed it at all.

"Actually, the connecting runes that Guo Ran and I designed have many flaws. During the energy transfer, a great deal is wasted. Actually, the majority of the energy is wasted. As for Guo Ran's armor, although it was reforged with a new formation embedded within, the amount of energy it can endure is limited. So there is even more energy wasted there as well when our brothers' energy is transferred to him," said Xia Chen apologetically. Clearly, this was a problem that had been troubling him the entire time. He hadn't been able to solve it.
"Just being able to connect everyone into a formation is already amazing. At the very least, it'll increase the power of the Dragonblood Cross Slash by ten times," said Guo Ran.
== Connecting souls ==
"There's probably no way to avoid some energy waste during the transfer process, unless you can do it like Chu Yao and have our spirits connect. The Wood Spirit Union is capable of perfectly transferring energy, but it's impossible for everyone's spiritual fluctuations to be so close..." Long Chen smiled comfortingly. He was already very satisfied with Xia Chen. Formation cultivators were truly terrifying.
"The reason the energy transfer is costing so much is because the energy is transferred through the runes without Spiritual Strength. That's what makes it so clunky. If the energy transfer is supported by Spiritual Strength, it will definitely save more energy, and then we won't just be limited to having everyone's power gather on Guo Ran. Everyone will be able to share energy with everyone!" exclaimed Xia Chen.
"But... boss also said that it's impossible to connect people's souls like that. We have ten thousand different souls," said Guo Ran.
== Armor ==
"That's no problem. Even if we can't carve spiritual runes on hard armor, what about soft armor?" Xia Chen's eyes were shining.
Guo Ran clapped his leg, excitedly shouting, "That's right, we can use soft armor for this!"
However, after a moment of excitement, they sobered up. Guo Ran said, "But carving spiritual runes on soft armor requires the highest level of leather. What kind of pelt is capable of receiving such powerful runes and constant spiritual fluctuations without crumbling?"
To endure the impact of over ten thousand people's souls connecting, they needed the strongest spiritual runes, and only the strongest of hides could endure those runes without crumbling. Even a half-step Netherpassage beast's skin wasn't tough enough.
