"You're welcome, everyone. This is what I should do. I will definitely get first place in the next few rounds!"
Xu Que saw that the Acting Tough Points in the system were about to break through the 25,000 mark. He laughed heartily and patted his chest as a guarantee. He decided that he would continue to act tough in the next few rounds!
However, his words stunned the princes!
The next few rounds? You still want to get first place?
Big brother, stop joking, okay? The next few rounds are not something you can help with!
"Young Hero Xu, the next few rounds are not the Divine Chariot Competition. You can take a break and don't worry anymore!" the Third Prince said hurriedly.
"It's okay, I know that the next round is the ancient armored puppets. Leave it to me!" Xu Que said, waving his hand.
The Seven Princesses had told him before that the Divine Chariot Contest was only to screen the cultivators. The next round was to enter the Imperial Tombs!
The Imperial Tombs of the Metal Nation were different from those of the Fire Empire.
In other words, they were not on the same level at all.
The Imperial Tombs of the Fire Empire were the traditional tombs that Xu Que knew of. Most of them were made of earth and bricks.
The Imperial Tombs of the Metal Nation, on the other hand, were mostly made of all kinds of strange metals. They were dazzling under the sunlight.
However, there was one thing in common. Both the Imperial Tombs of the Fire Empire and the Imperial Tombs of the Metal Nation had powerful restrictive spells.
These restrictive spells could prevent all spells and magical weapons from being activated by Spiritual Qi. They could protect the entire Imperial Tombs of the Metal Nation very well.
Therefore, even if those magic arts and magic arts were useless, Xu Que could use the excavator to quickly dig open the Imperial Tombs of the Fire Empire.
However, the Imperial Tombs of the Metal Nation were made of all kinds of powerful metals. If Xu Que did not have the opportunity to participate in the competition, it would be difficult for him to force his way through with the excavator.
...
As he followed the crowd towards the entrance of the Imperial Tombs, Xu Que paused for a moment and laughed on the spot!
At the entrance of the Imperial Mausoleum, there was a giant underpants.
It looked similar to the "big underpants" of Central TV. However, the Seven Princesses beside Xu Que had told him that it was a totem of the Metal Nation.
"I say, the Metal Nation is really fun! Of all the totems he could have chosen, he chose the 'big underpants' as his totem … "Xu Que stared at the big underpants and laughed.
"Master Xu! Don't look down on the totem of the Metal Nation. According to my father, the totem of the Imperial Tombs can absorb the metal element spiritual energy from heaven and earth and continuously supply it to the ancient armored puppets and other mechanisms in the Imperial Tombs … "The Seventh Princesses pouted under her veil.
"Yo! Who would have thought that the underpants could be used like this? Someday, I'll make a hanging outside too … "
Xu Que clicked his tongue and pondered as he followed the group to the entrance.
The first challenge in the Imperial Tombs was to face the ancient armored puppets!
Because of the restrictive spells set up in this challenge, the people who entered the Imperial Tombs would be tested for their cultivation and the level of their magical weapons!
If the person who entered was stronger or the magical weapon was more powerful, the tens of thousands of ancient armored puppets would become stronger and crazier!
Therefore, after all these years, the Golden Emperor had discovered that only when Original Infant Stage cultivators entered would the strength of the ancient armored puppets stabilize at the Original Infant Stage. The difficulty would not be too terrifying!
Moreover, the cultivators were not allowed to bring along high-grade magical weapons to stabilize the situation!
There was a year when the Golden Emperor had sent hundreds of Original Infant Stage cultivators into the tomb. In the end, the strength of the ancient armored puppets soared to the Infant Transformation Stage and killed all of them instantly!
Later, the Golden Emperor had sent 50 Original Infant Stage cultivators with high-grade magical weapons. The strength of the ancient armored puppets had also risen to the Infant Transformation Stage!
In the end, when 50 Original Infant Stage cultivators entered the tomb without any high-grade magical weapons, the strength of the ancient armored puppets barely stabilized at the Original Infant Stage!
Therefore, they found a way to bring all kinds of materials into the Imperial Tombs to stabilize the strength of the ancient armored puppets at the Original Infant Stage. Some of them would be responsible for dealing with the puppets while the others would forge the materials into high-grade magical weapons to fight against the puppets!
Therefore, this challenge was a test of one's ability to forge weapons!
"Young Hero Xu, do you know how to forge weapons?" the Third Prince asked suspiciously.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows. "Of course, I'm a One-star Weapon Forging Master!"
One-star?
The few of them almost vomited blood when they heard this!
Brother, you have the cheek to say that you're a One-star Weapon Forging Master?
And you say it so confidently?
Stop joking, okay?
"Hehe, forget about being a One-star Weapon Forging Master! Since you've already passed the first challenge for the Third Prince, help me fight against the puppets and buy me time to forge weapons! "a middle-aged man beside the Third Prince said with a smile.
"Yo, this is …?"
"Young Master Xu, let me introduce you. This is the Six-Star Weapon Forging Master — Master Zhou!" The Seventh Princesses quickly stepped forward and introduced the middle-aged man to Xu Que!
Obviously, a Six-Star Weapon Forging Master was a very respectable person!
This was evident from the attitude of the Third Prince and the Seventh Princesses.
"Young Hero Xu, I'll leave the second challenge to Master Zhou. If I succeed this time, I'll definitely remember your kindness!" the Third Prince said with a smile.
After Xu Que had helped him clinch the first place in the first challenge, he was full of hope to fight for the position of Crown Prince. Now, all he wanted was to pass the second challenge smoothly!
Actually, Xu Que did not know what the ancient armored puppets looked like. If he really had to use magical weapons to deal with them, the most he could do was to exchange for a powerful magical weapon from the System Store or release the Jianling Sword and start a massacre!
Therefore, he did not say anything else and nodded his head in response. "Okay!"
After all, his real target this time was the Genesis Metal Herb on the Dragon Vein!
…
Soon, everyone was ready. The teams of the princes and the disciples from the sects who had come to participate in the trial had all gathered at the entrance of the Imperial Tombs!
The line was very long. Everyone had to be inspected and they were not allowed to bring in any high-grade magical weapons!
Xu Que's belongings were all hidden in the System Inventory. Naturally, they would not be discovered and they successfully passed through the entrance of the Imperial Tombs.
The rest of the people brought in all kinds of treasures and refining materials.
The Third Prince and the Seventh Princesses also had to participate in this challenge. They were responsible for guarding Master Zhou and helping him fight against the ancient armored puppets. This was to buy him time to refine high-grade magical weapons!
Soon, everyone had entered the Imperial Tombs. The old eunuch beside the Golden Emperor also shouted loudly!
"The second challenge begins now!"
…
Rumble!
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out!
The entire Imperial Tombs shook and the restrictive spell at the entrance was activated. In the dim passageway of the Imperial Tombs, a series of muffled sounds could be heard!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
That was the sound of heavy objects falling on the ground, moving rhythmically towards the group of people!
Xu Que squinted his eyes and swept his gaze across the darkness. When he saw the rows of black shadows approaching, he was stunned!
