Wearing a complete set of human-shaped mecha armor, Wang Ming broke through the space wall and finally escaped the Dead Sea of Space as he was spat out by a space fissure which suddenly opened.
He surveyed the surrounding terrain. It was a completely unfamiliar environment, but the one thing he was sure of was that he was still inside the remains since he had done his homework before coming here. There was a lake nearby, and odd spirit plants grew all around â there was no mistaking it, these were all extinct resources.
âIt seems that we are still inside the remains, and in the western region. We should contact someone as soon as possible.â Wang Ming got up from the ground and put away his human-shaped mecha armor.
After passing through the storm, it only had three percent left of its spirit power.
It had also sustained damage to the extent that it could only be used one more time at the most before it was completely scrapped.
But even if that was the case, Wang Ming had no plans to throw it away. He wanted to display it as part of his collection.
After all, this was his first mecha, which had saved his life in a critical moment!
âWe have to find a way to get out of here.â Wang Ming observed his surroundings. He wasnât sure how much time had passed in the outside world since he was sucked into the Dead Sea of Space⦠He knew that time flowed at different rates in different spaces, but he had never researched the exact difference.
Everyone couldnât be gone, could theyâ¦
Wang Ming didnât think he could be that unlucky.
The main thing was that he didnât believe Wang Ling would abandon him. Their bond of brotherhood had survived the socialism of cultivation; they definitely werenât brothers just for show!
His own silly otouto had chosen to give him a sword spirit for his birthday this time, so Wang Ling perhaps had had a foreboding early on that this disaster would befall Wang Ming, yet Wang Ling hadnât taken action. Thus, Wang Ming felt that there probably was some sort of restriction on Wang Ling.
Wang Ming clearly remembered Wang Ling telling him before about the Heavenly Daoâs checks and balances.
If he meddled too much in the fate of others, it would often end badly.
âSword Master, Sir, should this humble servant bring someone over?â Heavenly Materials asked with a very serious expression as he stood erect on the side.
âDonât bother⦠My mecha armor is almost useless, and doesnât have enough spirit power now. What will I do if you leave?â Wang Ming sighed.
After that, he sat down on the ground and stared at the lake. âLetâs just wait, I believe someone will come looking for me.â
As soon as he said this, Heavenly Materials sensed a strange fluctuation in the sky. âSword Master, Sir, it seems that something is about to come outâ¦â
Then, a crack opened.
Thump thump thumpâ¦
Several figures fell from the sky and hit the surface of the lake directly, splashing water on Wang Mingâs face.
Wang Ming: ââ¦â
â¦
Odd Zhuo and the others swam ashore, eyes narrowed as they glared at Wuji with slightly resentful expressions.
Wuji was the only one who hadnât gotten wet because she was able to teleport over short distances, so she had already moved just before she fell into the lake.
When Odd Zhuo reached the bank, Wuji had a ânot goodâ face on her face. âOh! Iâm really sorry! This is the location of the space, I didnât think we would teleport to a lake! It was an operation error! Donât burn me with the Flame of Purification!â
Odd Zhuo, Fatty Luo, and Little Silver: ââ¦â
Wuji had deliberately mentioned the Flame of Purification, so Odd Zhuo instantly knew that this was the girlâs blatant revenge!
He had threatened Wuji with the Flame of Purification before so that she would be obedient.
Who knew this chick could be such a vindictive personâ¦
But Odd Zhuo felt that she was only like this with outsiders; if his shifu were here, she would definitely be the most sincere.
This revenge act didnât affect them much overall. They were dressed in Daoist robes that had a self-cleaning ability. When the robes got wet, they would dry themselves out in just a few seconds.
So Odd Zhuo ignored his wet clothes and stepped forward to excitedly take Wang Mingâs hands. âI knew Mr Ming was still alive!â
Wang Mingâs face was full of pride at the praise. âIt was just a basic operation! But I have to thank Heavenly Materials for covering me, otherwise, I might not have been able to get rid of that Ghost Head Blade.â
Odd Zhuo looked at Heavenly Materials standing next to Wang Ming. He had already noticed earlier on that this was a sword spirit.
âIt looks like this was the birthday gift shifu said he would be giving you!â Odd Zhuo looked Heavenly Materials up and down, and felt that the dead fish eyes were really too prominent, as if it was a trademark that his shifu had directly handed down.
As expected of a birthday gift from shifu â¦
It was because of this prominent characteristic that Odd Zhuo could tell at first glance that this sword spirit was a gift from shifu !
Wang Ming still hadnât been sure earlier if Heavenly Materials had been a gift from Wang Ling. Now that he had gotten personal confirmation from Odd Zhuo, his face was instantly full of joy.
Although his otouto was a little foolish, looking after him hadnât been in vain, as expected!
They shared information, and Wang Ming gave them a rough account of his experience in the Dead Sea of Space.
Odd Zhuo frowned when he heard that some mystery person had acted to thwart Ghost Head Blade before Wang Ming finally left the Dead Sea of Space.
âMr Ming is saying that someone used a secret weapon to stop Ghost Head Blade?â
Odd Zhuo stroked his chin. He would have to remember to report this when he had the chance.
In order for him to âcarry the wokâ more easily, Wang Ling would tell him everything he had done⦠so Odd Zhuo was certain that the person who had used a hidden weapon absolutely wasnât his own shifu .
But who it was remained to be investigatedâ¦
Sure enough, there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the teachers this time; it looked like there were many hidden experts present.
âWhat does Teacher Wang plan to do next?â
This was Fatty Luoâs first time meeting Wang Ming. Although he had heard the name before, he was only truly understanding who he was now.
Especially after learning of this young manâs real identity as Ling Zhenrenâs older brother, Fatty Luo held Wang Ming in even higher esteem.
âThe outside world thinks Iâm already dead, so it just so happens that Iâm free now. Iâll join you in the search for Devil Kingâs tomb.â Wang Ming shrugged, then looked at Fatty Luo. âAre you a craftsman?â
âMy name is Luo Chuang.â Fatty Luo nodded and introduced himself.
âOh, itâs you.â Wang Ming instantly recalled something.
He remembered that Grandfather Wangâs kitchen knives and the tricycle Sheep were serviced at Fatty Luoâs shop, and during the destruction of Immortal Mansionâs general headquarters in Winter city, he recalled that a craftsman with the surname Luo had taken part in the operation.
âYou should have some materials on you, right?â Wang Ming asked.
âYes, Teacher Wang.â
Fatty Luo nodded and directly summoned Rolling Wheels. âTeacher Wang, let me introduce you to my vehicle: Rolling Wheels. Rolling Wheelsâs toolbox contains all the materials youâll need for crafting artifacts, and it also has a mechanical arm modeled on Lord Jingkeâs!â
ââ¦â
He was a good craftsman, but regrettably, he was a pervertâ¦
Wang Ming: âDo you have an instrument for identifying materials?â
Fatty Luo nodded. âYes! The mechanical arm has a replica tongue modeled after Lord Jingkeâs. The tongue only needs to lick any type of material, and the robot arm will be able to analyze its composition! Let me demonstrate!â
With that, Fatty Luo stuck his hand into his underpants.
Wang Ming was alarmed. âWhat the hell?! What are you doing?â
Odd Zhuo, Little Silver and Wuji: ââ¦â
Fatty Luo rummaged around inside his underpants, then took out a small hammer. âTeacher Wang, donât get me wrong. Iâm just used to hiding things in my underpantsâ storage spaceâ¦â
Wang Ming: ââ¦â
Then, Fatty Luo turned on the switch for the replica tongue.
He held the hammer up to the tongue and ordered with a perverted grin, âLick!â
Everyone: ââ¦â
