As someone who has read the novel ahead, the following arc are a bit mild(consciousness training arc), then followed by rock 'n' roll head smashing(war arc).

Admantite, or Adamant in classical mythology is an archaic form of diamond. In fact, the English word diamond is ultimately derived from adamas, via Late Latin diamas and Old French diamant. In ancient Greek ἀδάμας (adamas), genitive ἀδάμαντος (adamantos), literally 'unconquerable, untameable'. In those days, the qualities of hard metal (probably steel) were attributed to it, and adamant became as a result an independent concept.

In the case of Orichalcum, the name is derived from the Greek ὀρείχαλκος, oreikhalkos (from ὄρος, oros, mountain and χαλκός, chalkos, copper), literally meaning "mountain copper". Orichalcum may have been a noble metal such as platinum, as it was supposed to be mined, but has been identified as pure copper or certain alloys of bronze, and especially brass alloys in the case of antique roman coins, the latter being of "similar appearance to modern brass" according to scientific research.

Mithril is a fictional metal found in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth writings. It is described as resembling silver, but being stronger and lighter than steel. It was used to make armour, such as the helmets of the citadel guard of Minas Tirith, and ithildin alloy, used to decorate gateways with writing visible only by starlight or moonlight. Always extremely valuable, by the end of the Third Age it was beyond price, and only a few artefacts made of it remained in use.
Impenetrable armour occurs in Norse mythology in Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks, a story that Tolkien certainly knew and could have used for his mithril mail-coat. Mithril is the only invented mineral in his Middle-earth writings. Chemists note mithril's remarkable properties, strong and light like titanium, perhaps when made into alloys with elements such as titanium or nickel, and in its pure form malleable like gold.

T.L.D.R.: Admantite ≈ Diamond.Orichalcum ≈ Gold-Copper alloy. Mythril ≈ Tolkien's fantasy Titanium.

Chinese reader, not Chinese myself. And I respect people and their culture, not oppressive governments.

Hello darkness, my old friendI've come to talk with you againBecause a vision softly creepingLeft its seeds while I was sleepingAnd the vision that was planted in my brainStill remainsWithin the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked aloneNarrow streets of cobblestone'Neath the halo of a street lampI turned my collar to the cold and dampWhen my eyes were stabbed byThe flash of a neon lightThat split the nightAnd touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I sawTen thousand people, maybe morePeople talking without speakingPeople hearing without listeningPeople writing songs that voices never shareAnd no one daredDisturb the sound of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not knowSilence like a cancer growsHear my words that I might teach youTake my arms that I might reach you"But my words, like silent raindrops, fellAnd echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayedTo the neon God they madeAnd the sign flashed out its warningIn the words that it was formingAnd the sign said"The words of the prophets areWritten on the subway wallsAnd tenement hallsAnd whispered in the sound of silence"

But Brothers, this is a heretical religion. And most importantly, not our religion. We must purge these heretics claiming to be servents of God Almighty and we must prove our rightful claim. DEUS VOULT!!!

Yes, you are correct Kaiser. "I'm but an old physicist. I'm not afraid of death. What I'm afraid of, is Time." –Professor Brand, Interstellar.

Xiao He is almost like Qiu Wuji from "What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book". The only difference is that she is more "innocent". And both MLs are equally shameless.
