Everyone was startled when they saw Yang Zhen use a rock to smash Sky-shaking Thunder flying in mid-air. The large stone fell on Sky-shaking Thunder, indenting a large hole, almost embedding itself inside.
Damn, what kind of monstrous strength does Yang Zhen possess? How can he dent such a robust piece of thousand-year-old Iron Star Wood so high in the air with just a stone?
This wasnât all. Yang Zhen put his hands on his hips, craned his neck, and unleashed a slew of curses, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.
Sky-shaking Thunder, despite the reverberating noise from the stoneâs impact, didnât so much as tremble. Upon hearing Yang Zhenâs vitriol, it almost fell out of the sky.
âYou impudent child, Yang Zhen!â Liang Lieâs voice echoed thunderously, consumed by a furious and savage rage that shook the air. âI havenât even started looking for you, yet you have the gall to provoke me. You dare smash my Sky-shaking Thunder with a rock, your death is fixed today! Even the heavens wonât save you, and if you dare to commandeer a flying machine, Iâll leave no trace of you behind!â
Yang Zhen groaned in surprise, with his hand tucked in his trousers and an unsure look, responded, âDamn, the Sao Saint is really scared. Donât make a fuss over nothing. All the Sao Saint did was to check if your Sky-shaking Thunder was hard enough, so I could decide which flying machine to use. Youâre the Sect Master of Separation Star Sect, and this is the limit of your forbearance!â
Upon hearing Yang Zhenâs words, people present twitched at the corners of their eyes.
âThis Yang Zhen is even worse than the rumours suggest. Sect Master Liang is so unlucky to have offended him,â one person murmured.
âExactly, who uses a rock to test if Sky-shaking Thunder is tough? Itâs as if he genuinely had many flying machines prepared for this.â
âImpossible, how could he possibly have crafted more than one flying machine in such a short span of time?â
âLooking at that damned catâ¦does it also have a flying apparatus?â
âA damned cat?â Laughter spread through the crowd. âWhat would it pilot, a flying kitty?â
â¦
Everyone was growing excited, but when they actually saw what Yang Zhen was doing, they were flabbergasted.
What the hell is Yang Zhen doing?
Does Yang Zhen keep his flying machine in his trousers?
As Yang Zhen scratched around his trousers, everyone felt on the verge of a breakdown.
Could Yang Zhen get any more bizarre?
âEh?â Yang Zhen paused, then burst into laughter. âGotcha!â
âYou got what?â the damned cat asked excitedly.
Clang!
Yang Zhen threw three square boxes onto the ground, two small and one large. He also held three peculiar-looking objects that looked like pendants.
Upon seeing Yang Zhen pull out these three iron boxes, everyone was bewildered. Amid the baffled expressions, someone exclaimed, âEternal Gold Heaven Iron! Itâs actually Eternal Gold Heaven Iron!â
âOh my god, all three boxes are made from Eternal Gold Heaven Iron. This Yang Zhen is squandering such precious resources. Doesâ¦does he even know how precious Eternal Gold Heaven Iron is?â
âRidiculous!â Elder Mo, from Ink Pool Peak, had turned pale. He looked at the three boxes on the ground with a pained expression. âThat bastard Yang Zhen actually⦠actually used Eternal Gold Heaven Iron to make these three iron boxes? Does he expect them to fly? Ridiculous! This is utterly ridiculous!â
People widened their eyes, looking incredulously at Yang Zhen and then at the three iron boxes on the ground.
âAnyone with a lick of sense knows that the lighter the flying machine, the better. Lighter machines are more nimble in mid-air. And Yang Zhen used Eternal Gold Heaven Iron, an extremely heavy treasure, to construct a flying machine?â
âCould it be that Yang Zhen was so afraid that Sky-shaking Thunder would obliterate his flying machine in an instant that he used Eternal Gold Heaven Iron to build one?â
âThis is laughable! Itâs like a cosmic joke. Yang Zhen has reached a new level of absurdity!â
No one placed any faith in the three boxes made of Eternal Gold Heaven Iron that Yang Zhen had brought. Come on, even if a clump of metal could grudgingly fly, could it possibly be nimble?
Did Yang Zhen intend to crawl into the large iron box and use it as a mobile fortress?
Saint could not hold his laughter as he observed Yang Zhen unveiling three large iron boxes, and chuckled, âOh, Yang Zhen, what should I even say about you? Iâm beginning to regret engaging you in this game â itâs far beneath my status!â
âMph!â Liang Lie snorted coldly, his facial expression frosty as he declared, âSo much for your reputation, thatâs all there is to you after all. Now, Iâm rather curious as to where your confidence comes from, considering you dare to ensure my Thunderclap cannot take off?â
â¦
Upon hearing Saint and Liang Lieâs words, everyone shook their heads in disappointment in Yang Zhen, particularly Elder Mo, who would have run up to seize Yangâs boxes if not stopped by his disciples.
Elder Moâs face was ashen, his mood swinging enormously before he eventually let out a sigh and said, âAw well, Yang Zhen has been too fortunate thus far. A few setbacks might not be a bad thing.â
Everyone from Ink Pool Peak wore somber expressions, initially anticipating Yang Zhen to be of assistance to Lightning Shuttle and Ink Wind, but now, it seemed like it was already a blessing that he didnât hold them back.
Amidst the multitude of thoughts held by everyone, besides Thunderclap and Fei Tianhu, as well as Lightning Shuttle and Ink Wind and the like, the rest of the vessels breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Yang Zhen was considered an important player in this flying device competition, and now that he had revealed three iron boxes, apprehension in the crowd lessened.
No one noticed that, after Yang Zhen threw out the three huge boxes, the eyes of the cat and chicken lit up. After exchanging glances, they could see the excitement gleaming in each otherâs eyes.
Even the lazy cat suddenly shrieked and rushed to one of the iron boxes.
âEternal Gold Armor, oh my! Yang Zhen, you really started off with something this hardcore, how do you expect us to keep living, huh? Quick, the key, give me the key immediately.â
Sao Chicken was also incredibly excited, flapping its wings to reach another box, and, with a thrilled expression, demanded from Yang Zhen, âThe key!â
Witnessing the reactions of the cat and Sao Chicken, silence descended on the entire competition
Everyone looked dumbfounded at the cat and Sao Chicken, completely clueless about what was going on.
âWho am I?â
âWhere am I?â
âWhat am I going to do now?â
Have these two idiots, the cat and Sao Chicken, lost their minds? Theyâre drooling all over those iron boxes.â
Liang Lie and Saint exchanged glances, their eyes focused intently on the three Yang Zhenâs, with a noticeable pinch of tension.
âWho are the idiots, Sao Chicken and the cat, wouldnât be.â
Those two were excitedly making a racket, there must be something unusual about the iron boxes.â
Sure enough, after Yang Zhen had hooked keys around Sao Chicken and the catâs necks, the two creatures almost simultaneously shouted out in excitement,
âEternal Gold Armor, activate!â
âEternal Gold War Machine, activate!â
As their words fell, the keys around Sao Chicken and the catâs necks immediately emitted a dazzling light that held one spellbound.
Ding!
Upon hearing the clear metal clashing sounds, the boxes in front of Sao Chicken and the cat burst open, and a large pile of parts soared into the air. These emitted endless Eternal Gold glyphs, and rapidly covered Sao Chicken and the cat.
âOh my God, my heart is going to jump out; this is just too damn cool!â
In an instant, the lazy cat was cloaked in a layer of black armor, ruggedly dominant like a black leopard.
At Sao Chickenâs, a silver warplane had appeared, causing a powerful visual impact.
âWhatâ¦what is that?â
Everyone was dumbfounded, staring in astonishment at Sao Chicken and the cat.
