Chapter 362: Don’t Be Too Arrogant!

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

Xu Que was startled by the sight of the ancient armored puppets that were closing in. They were totally the smaller version of Iron Man!

No, that was not right. This group of ancient puppets were lower grade first generation versions of Iron Man, and looked ugly and crude!

More importantly, Xu Que also noticed the light emitting from the chests of these ancient armored puppets, which seemed to radiate fearful amounts of energy!

"Who made this thing? It's so ugly!" Xu Que couldn't resist the urge to complain about the appearance of the ancient puppets.

The Seventh Princess, the Third Prince and his team, on the other hand, seemed cautious and wore serious expressions.

The Third Prince took a small step forward. "Young Hero Xu, these ancient armored puppets may be unattractive to the eye but they are able to execute powerful attacks from their chests. If a cultivator of the same stage were to be hit two or three times, they would probably die!"

"Exactly! Young Master Xu, you must be careful. We can't afford to be reckless here!" The Seventh Princess nodded in agreement.

Xu Que's brows furrowed in a frown. "But they're really ugly! As a fan of Iron Man, I can't tolerate that!"

"Uh… let's go in first and find a favourable spot for Master Zhou, and help buy time for him as he creates high-grade weapons!"

The Third Prince could not understand the strange words that Xu Que had used. As he didn't want to waste more time, he had decided to change the topic.

However what he said was the right thing to do as well. It was imperative that they find a vantage spot, fast.

As soon as the other contending princes had entered, their own group had already headed to the corners of the first burial chamber inside the Imperial Tombs. That had been when the puppets had arrived!

The several teams were cooperating with tacit understanding, making a formation. One or two weapon forging masters were protected in the centre, with the other team members surrounding them!

The ones standing at the front of their formation were responsible for defending against the ancient armored puppets' attacks, whilst the weapon forging masters would race against time to quickly create strong magical weapons for their counterattack!

In no time, the passageway leading to the first burial chamber had become packed with the qualifying teams of cultivators, forming a line of defense!

Xu Que, along with the Third Prince and his group, were occupying a good spot next to the stone wall. Currently, there was no need to mount a defense against any attacks!

"Let's hope they can hold the attack longer," said the Third Prince solemnly. "Once there are casualties, we'll need to quickly fill up vacated spots, or else when the ancient armored puppets break the line of defense, death will be upon all of us!"

In this place, everybody had a role.

Everyone had to work together to resist the attacks of the ancient armored puppets. The weapon forging masters were their only hope!

Therefore, everyone worked together seamlessly. Some of the people had taken initiative by forming the first line of defense. If broken, the people behind would have to quickly fill up the gap. No one could shy away from their roles!

However, Xu Que was an exception.

That guy had been sulking ever since he had first seen the ancient armored puppets!

He had been thinking of exterminating these puppets the moment he set eyes on them!

Perhaps… maybe a real Iron Man would work!

"Looks like I need to do something!" Xu Que laughed. He prepared to call out the interface of the System Store to exchange for the Iron Man so he could act tough!

The princes beside him heard what he said and were taken aback!

"Young Hero Xu, don't be reckless!"

"These ancient armored puppets are practically immune against attacks! Our attacks can only stop them temporarily, only magical weapons can break them!"

"Yes, and if you use a really powerful attack on them, it might even cause a terrible counter effect and the puppets might become even stronger!" the princes hurriedly advised Xu Que.

"I know that I can't use my attacks," Xu Que said as he gave a laugh. "So I've decided to make a magical weapon that can specially counteract these ancient armored puppets!"

"Huh?"

The few of them were confused.

You want to create weapons again?

Don't do that, brother!

You are only a one-star weapon forging master. You can't be of much help!

"My Royal Highnesses, since Young Hero Xu wants to create, just let him do it," Zhou Lin Feng suddenly said, wearing a faint smile. "The line of defense now is stable anyway. It won't make much difference. There won't be any serious consequences!" He flashed a glance at Xu Que, a hint of disdain flashed past his face. "I would like to see what kind of magical weapon Young hero Xu will actually create!"

Everyone instantly understood that Master Zhou was actually annoyed!

Xu Que had been audacious enough by saying that he wanted to create a magical weapon that could specially counteract against the puppets in the presence of Master Zhou. That was practically boasting. By doing so, he had also slighted Master Zhou.

"Master Zhou, Young Master Xu was just joking, please don't mind him!" the Seventh Princess hurriedly chimed in to appease Master Zhou!

Nonetheless, Zhou Lin Feng did not want to let Xu Que off so easily. "Young people nowadays are too arrogant! Having good control of a divine chariot means that you have great Soul Strength, but that doesn't mean that you will be able to create a high-grade magical weapon. Young man, talk less and learn more!"

"Haha!" laughed Xu Que with sarcasm. His eyes narrowed and he continued, "Master Zhou, didn't anyone tell you not to be too arrogant? Our King of Lightning from Exploding Heavens Faction might send you in for electrotherapy treatment!"

"Hmph, are you provoking me?" Zhou Lin Feng gave a cold snort and gritted his teeth.

"Provoking you? You're not qualified enough!" sneered Xu Que.

The princes and the Seventh Princess quickly tried to appease the two of them to stop them from fighting!

"Master Zhou, please be appeased. Young Hero Xu, don't be rash!"

"We're a team!"

"This is not the time for internal conflict!"

"Young Hero Xu, since you want to create a magical weapon, please go ahead and do it. We have brought enough materials!"

"Yes, yes, yes, there's no need to quarrel over a small matter. Just do it if you want to!" The Third Prince smiled bitterly.

Xu Que had helped him by coming in first for the race; he felt that he should not make him unhappy over this.

Moreover, it was the second time that Xu Que had said that he wanted to create a magical weapon. It would not be appropriate to reject him time and time again, so he decided to agree.

From their point of view, Xu Que was just itching to try creating a magical weapon for fun.

It would not be worth enraging Master Zhou over this trivial matter, as he was the key person for this round and they were depending on him to forge a high-grade magical weapon!

The Seventh Princess pulled Xu Que aside and whispered, "Young Master Xu, I've some materials with me as well, you can take them to forge your magical weapon!"

"There's no need to, I have the materials too," waved Xu Que.

His eyes narrowed again as he took another glance at Zhou Lin Feng!

Zhou Lin Feng wore a look of disdain and scorn, as if he had scored a victory against Xu Que. Under the persuasion of the princes, he moved back to his original position and brought out a weapon forging furnace. He was ready to forge a magical weapon!

Xu Que couldn't be bothered to quarrel with a small potato like Zhou Lin Feng. Since he wanted to act tough, face-slapping would be a must!

He knew many ways to deal with small potatoes like Zhou Lin Feng!

Thus, he didn't say anything more and followed the Seventh Princess to one side. He called up the System Store, searching for the Iron Man!

However, Xu Que was shocked to see that the Iron Man was really expensive. Although the rental fee was 500 Acting Tough Points a day, each part had to be rented separately for this cost.

For example, to rent the Iron Man's arm, he would need to rent three individual parts to form an arm. With each part costing 500 Acting Tough Points, that meant an arm alone would cost 1,500 Acting Tough Points in total!

If Xu Que were to rent the complete Iron Man, he would need to spend more than 10,000 Acting Tough Points!

It was incredibly expensive!

This extortionist! System! I just knew it!

Xu Que was cursing in his head!

This was something that Xu Que had expected when he had received Bumblebee in the Act Tough King Gift Pack. There was no way that he would have ever been able to rent or get Bumblebee from the System Store before.

But now he was able to rent Iron Man. Xu Que was happily sniggering inside!

Hmph, so what if it's more than 10,000 Acting Tough Points? I have more than 20,000 Acting Tough Points. I can afford to rent it! See how I bash in your egotistical face!

Xu Que gave a snort and commanded System in his head.

"Come out, Iron Man!"
