Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The scene was bizarre!

In the first burial chamber of the majestic Imperial Tombs, a group of people had formed a line of defense against the closely-packed ancient armored puppets . Again and again, they attacked the puppets to drive them off!

At the rear of the line of defense was the weapon forging master, protected by team members who stood around them in a circle! The weapon forging master was working against time to quickly forge magical weapons!

Every weapon forging master had a fiery furnace beside them, making the whole burial chamber blazingly warm!

All the weapon forging masters were concentrating their Soul Strength on the rare materials that they were using to forge their magical weapons . They were melting and combining the materials under high temperatures, as well as inscribing runes onto them!

Only Xu Que sat cross-legged on his big table, assembling the parts with various screwdrivers!　

He was very serious, focusing on his task like a scientist!

Not only that, but he had even given in to his whims and exchanged for a Tony Stark T-shirt with an Arc Reactor that emitted white light . His long hair was tied up in an ancient style which made him look odd and eccentric!

That was not all . As Xu Que worked on assembling the parts with the screwdriver, he was also mumbling on and on, using strange terms that they had never heard before .

He laid down the parts for the two strong arms of Iron Man first, before laying down all the parts of the Iron Man for an overview…

"Haha… this ratio is good! It's the golden ratio, tsk, tsk… no wonder it looks so domineering! Wow! The fists of the Iron Man are great! Look at the quality of the fingers, they totally look like the fingers of someone who has been single for a few decades . They will move like flashes of light… wait… what's going on? Why is this part protruding out? Could it be… that the Iron Man has a little brother too? Oh no, my bad! I need to press this down! Oh my God! The color of the Iron Man's back is dazzling and striking! This will surely stun and overwhelm all of those bumpkins!"

. . .

This scene left the crowd in bewilderment!

"What is he doing?"

"Wearing such peculiar looking clothes, assembling those small pieces of metal and muttering to himself so strangely . What is he trying to do?"

"Those pieces of metal have weird shapes and the materials are rather unusual!"

"I agree . Looking at his expression though, he doesn't seem like he's fooling around . He looks like he's actually serious about it!"

"Nah, don't bother about this fellow . He simply likes to use of weird stuff to get our attention and be in the spotlight!"

"Yes, that's right . Let's ignore him and leave him alone . Watch out for the puppets, don't let them break through our defense!"

. . .

As the crowd realised that they could not understand what Xu Que was doing, they began to lose interest .

The Third Prince and his team were focusing their attention on Zhou Lin Feng . They were very concerned about the magical weapon he was creating . It was almost ready!

The other contending princes were also concerned!

Only the Seventh Princess, with both hands cupping her face, peered curiously at Xu Que as he used the screwdriver to do up the screws in their respective places!

"Young Master Xu, is this the way members of the Exploding Heavens Faction forge their magical weapons? What novelty!" exclaimed the curious princess .

"Yes, my Exploding Heavens Faction actually prepares the parts in advance and we assemble them when required . That's what smart people do!"

"I see!" The Seventh Princess nodded her head, despite only having a hazy notion of what he was doing!

However, when the other weapon forging masters heard what Xu Que had said, they were quite offended!



What do you mean by 'that's what smart people do'?

So according to you, we, the weapon forging masters, are not smart?

Damn it, if this weren't such a critical time, this boy would get a good thrashing!

The weapon forging masters looked grim but they couldn't be bothered with Xu Que and continued to focus on weapon forging!

. . .

Meanwhile, outside the Imperial Tombs…

The Emperor of the Metal Nation, the Empress Dowager and everyone else present could clearly see what was happening inside the Imperial Tombs through the Heaven and Earth Mirror!

Even sound could be heard via the Mirror as well!

Everyone could see that Xu Que was sitting on the table, holding a strange looking iron rod and assembling pieces of weird-looking metal . While his hands were busy, his mouth was also busy boasting about the weapon forging techniques of the Exploding Heavens Faction .

"This fellow brags without shame!"

"And the bizarre outfit that he's wearing, it's so weird!"

"What he's doing does not seem to be related to weapon forging at all!"

"Precisely, he's just joining several pieces of metal together . That's too easy!"

"The Seventh Princess is too naïve . She actually believes that boy's words!"

"Hey, everyone look! Master Du from the Eldest Prince's team is about to complete the forging of their magical weapon!"



"Darn, it's true! Their high-grade magical weapon will be ready anytime now!"

"Master Du is really good! He's approaching the level of a seven-star weapon forging master, it's no wonder he is so fast!"

"That means the Eldest Prince is going to take the lead in destroying the ancient armored puppets!"

. . .

The crowd started to gasp as their attention shifted from Xu Que to the Eldest Prince!

It was the same for the people inside the burial chamber as well .

The Eldest Prince had invited Master Du, who was a very efficient weapon forger, to his team . In less than two hours, Master Du had almost completed a high-grade magical weapon .

After all, this was about the position of Crown Prince . Speed was definitely important!

The cultivators in the line of defense could only use a variety of skills to keep the puppets at bay, but they were unable to destroy them . So far, no one had managed to successfully take down an ancient armored puppet!

Hence, at the ranking charts outside the Imperial Tombs, no rankings were yet available!

But now that Master Du was almost done with the forging of his magical weapon, the Eldest Prince would soon be able to start destroying the ancient armored puppets!

The majority of the people were looking forward to it, but the rest of the contending princes had started to get anxious .

The team that started to take down the puppets first would have an advantage, and would likely win first place for this round . Everyone knew this inside their hearts!

The Eighth Prince looked tensely at his weapon forging master and asked, "Master Lin, how is it going?"



The weapon forging master looked solemn . "Soon!"

With that, he quickly popped a pill in his mouth which maximised his forging speed!

The Second Prince said, "Master Pang, is it possible to be faster?"

"I'm already at my fastest speed!" replied Master Pang .

"Try to be faster! There isn't much time left!" the Second Prince urged, plagued with anxiety .

He had been tenth place in the race, so he needed to nab first place for this round . Otherwise, he would no longer qualify to continue further and fight on for the position of Crown Prince!

In contrast, the situation at the Third Prince's area was rather peaceful . This was because he had obtained first place in the first round already, so there was no need to be overly impatient . Nevertheless, that did not mean that they should dally!

Before the Third Prince asked anything, Master Zhou smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness, it's going to be ready soon!"

"Good! You've worked hard, Master Zhou!" The Third Prince nodded his head, slightly excited at the news .

. . .

At this time, nobody was paying any attention on Xu Que .

Only the Seventh Princess watched as Xu Que assembled the metal pieces part by part . He finished assembling a steel arm . But before she could ask anything, Xu Que stored the arm into his system inventory!

The next moment, Xu Que took out another set of parts and continued to concentrate on assembling them . His speed also became faster .

The Seventh Princess dared not disturb him . She stood beside him and watched silently!

In no time, Xu Que completed another steel arm and stored it inside his system inventory again . Now, he started to work on assembling bigger parts of Iron Man!
