Tang Shidao had never understood why the Source Iron Forger could be so arrogant. After meeting Shen Yuanlu and the others, this mystery was solved.
It was an unreasonable match.
A sealed Source Boat.
A group of super experts watching without cheering.
Before the competition, both sides met. Tang Shidao only had four people behind him: Jin Yuliu, Jin Yuli, Poisonous Lady, and Three Eyed Man. The other human race experts were considering, but only these four didn't hesitate. Needless to say, Jin Yuliu and Jin Yuli were willing to die with him. Poisonous Lady had a good son who wasn't too afraid. Three Eyed Man was the emperor of an independent race. He had influence, strength, and secretly had the identity of a Source Iron Forger. He wasn't afraid either.
Except for the four of them.
Some of the other human experts wanted to come over, but they didn't have time to hesitate. Tang Shidao came over as soon as he received the invitation. There was no preparation at all.
On the other side.
The reason for Shen Yuanlu's arrogance was … There were more than thirty thousand God General-level Transcendents behind him. Each of them was at the level of a foundation elder. On the surface, they were a little weaker than Mr. Black Xiang and Dean Bai Xiang, but they were definitely on the same level as Shui Weng.
Thirty thousand!
A team with such strength could flatten a medium-sized Great Demon Whirlpool in the Origin Energy Sea.
But that wasn't all.
These thirty-thousand-plus old Divine Generals all had Primordial Iron artifacts. Some had full body armor, some had gauntlets, some had long swords and axes, and some had strange bows. In short, none of them came empty-handed. With their Transcendent strength and their Primordial Iron artifacts that were close to the power of Primordial Artifacts, this' army 'could even flatten a large Great Demonic Whirlpool.
From a general point of view.
Any one of these thirty thousand people was equal to Three Eyed Man.
In the eyes of the Sector Lord's students and team leaders who didn't know the details, they even thought that any one of these thirty thousand people was comparable to Human Emperor Tang Shidao. After all, these people were more famous and had more achievements to announce. With such a lineup, except for the mentors of various schools and the Great Demon Whirlpool, there was no third force in the Origin Energy Sea that could compare to this group.
Shen Yuanlu had the same idea.
These 'friends' were all leaders of powerful clans that ruled over a region. All of them were comparable to the Human Emperor. Even if she was slightly inferior, she would definitely be better than Bai Bi, Meimo, Lan Ji, and Wu Yue-er. There were more than thirty thousand of them. Just their aura alone was enough to crush the Human Emperor.
At this moment.
The Human Emperor should know the immensity of heaven and earth by now.
Perhaps his heart was trembling and his legs were weak.
"Hey you, I'm here. What do you want to compete with me?" Tang Shidao appeared in front of the 30,000 Divine Generals and greeted Shen Yuanlu calmly.
One sentence.
The entire scene changed.
"What did you say? Tang Shidao, do you know who you are talking to? "Blood Spider, who was standing next to Shen Yuanlu, roared. It was shocked by the rudeness. It's fine if you're stupid and bold, but you're actually so rude to a Source Iron Forger. Can't you see how unfavorable your situation is?
"This little student, are you a Source Iron Forger?"
"I …"
"If you're not, then shut up. I'm a Source Iron Forger. You don't have the right to speak. " Tang Shidao said indifferently. Looking at Shen Yuanlu's pale face, he said, "Are you mute? Say something, what do you want to compete with me? "
This was the second rude provocation.
Shen Yuanlu was so angry that he laughed. "Master Tang, don't you know what the competition is?"
Tang Shidao nodded calmly. "Yes, I don't care."
"If you lose …"
"If I lose, can you do anything to me?" Tang Shidao interrupted with an expression that said, "Can you bite me?"
Shen Yuanlu was stunned.
Suddenly.
He woke up.
Yes, if Tang Shidao won, he could ignore him. On the other hand, if Tang Shidao lost, what could he do? Let his friends make a move? Haha, friendship was friendship, but they wouldn't offend a Source Iron Forger. Originally, this kind of 'business' relationship was used less and less. They weren't his subordinates, they were just friends with benefits.
Then maliciously targeting the human race?
Haha, when had the human race not been targeted?
"You didn't jump out without thinking, did you?" Tang Shidao looked at Shen Yuanlu with an expression that said, "Do you want to enchant your intelligence? I have a card."
"Haha, not bad. Master Tang has a big temper." Shen Yuanlu gritted his teeth.
"Can you not waste my time?"
"Oh … good, very good. I haven't seen such an arrogant young man in a long time." Shen Yuanlu was really angry.
"I don't blame you for being inexperienced."
"You … good, I … I won't argue with you. Let's get down to business. This competition is very simple. The target is this sealed Origin Boat. It's a relic from ancient times and is very well-preserved. We'll start unsealing it at the same time. Whoever obtains control of the Origin Boat first will be the winner. I won't blame you if you lose, and I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. Now that you have this kind of ability, just treat it as a welcome gift. "Shen Yuanlu was furious, but he still endured and followed the script.
"Let's begin," Tang Shidao said directly. He didn't respond at all.
"You … very good. I … will remember you." Shen Yuanlu was so angry that he trembled. He couldn't remember how many years it had been since he was' ignored 'like this. Although he wasn't the main character today and was only the vanguard, his identity as a Source Iron Forger was not fake. A mere newcomer was actually so arrogant and didn't know how to respect his elders. This was simply subverting the traditions of Source Iron Forgers.
Shen Yuanlu retreated and flashed to the other side of the sealed Origin Boat.
The group of heroes also followed to protect him.
At this moment.
Three-eyed Elder stepped forward and said softly, "Master Tang, this matter …"
Tang Shidao shook his head and interrupted, "It's okay, I know. They're not provoking me. They just want to test me. There's no winning condition this time, but there will be next time. "
Three-eyed Elder nodded. "Yes, it's good that you understand. This time, they deliberately let Shen Yuanlu go. I suspect that he's not the main attacker. Master Tang, Source Iron Forgers usually don't kill each other. However, if you promise to contribute ten thousand Source Iron artifacts to the Various Gods Institute, you'll have to waste at least ten thousand years. Furthermore, if you serve a certain faction for ten thousand years, you'll be limited in your growth. "
"I understand."
"Although I don't want to say this, Master Tang, the Source Iron Forgers are truly unimaginable. Whether it's technology or martial strength, they have the best. They must have a way to make it impossible for you to refuse, which is why they took the initiative to provoke you. Hypothetically … I'm just hypothetically saying that if Madam Bai Bi and the others were captured, Master Tang would have no choice but to 'compete' with them, right? "
"Heh heh." Tang Shidao chuckled.
He wasn't worried that Bai Bi and the others would be captured. That was basically impossible.
In the Void, equipment was king.
However.
He and his friends had always prioritized their own strength. In addition, they didn't lack for Artifacts!
"Master Tang, 'knowledge' is very important when unsealing the Origin Boat. There are many strange formations in the Origin Boat, and they often have special meanings. In addition, there are also Guardian Puppets within the Origin Boat. If you don't defeat them, you won't be able to go deeper. Shen Yuanlu can get a group of people to help him. His progress will definitely be faster than yours. If you want to win, you have to solve the formations faster, "Three-eyed Elder reminded him.
"Thank you. I understand." Tang Shidao didn't mind.
Really.
When it came to artifact forging, he didn't lose to anyone. Especially when it had to do with Devil Puppets. It would only be more advantageous for him.
Soon.
Both sides were ready. Gu Yan, the Vice Dean of the Various Gods Institute, was the referee.
In the blink of an eye, a seemingly meaningless competition began.
It had to be said.
Unsealing the Origin Boat was the most important matter in the Origin Energy Sea. It represented the birth of a new safe haven. The process wasn't complicated. The Source Iron Forger would come into contact with the Origin Boat and use his own forging skills to 'integrate' it into the Origin Boat. He would sweep through layer by layer until he finally found the right to control it and turn the Origin Boat into a 'usable' tool. This integration depended on the Source Iron Forger's ability to 'connect with magic'.
Shen Yuanlu was very experienced.
His character wasn't good, and his personality was bad, but his skills were definitely not fake. The status of a Source Iron Forger depended entirely on their skills. Thus, no Source Iron Forger was bad at it. It was also because their skills were too good that others would tolerate their bad character and bad temper.
After all, skills only depended on results.
Those who could produce results, no matter how bad they were, would tolerate them.
He reached out.
He touched.
Magic energy fused.
The outer walls of the Origin Boat were slowly dyed with a layer of blue light, as if it were a demonic spring. Slowly, the third hardest Source Iron appeared to be 'soaking in water', as if it had become soft mud. At this moment, Tang Shidao stood next to Shen Yuanlu and watched calmly. "I don't know how to do it yet. Let's see what you do first."
Shen Yuanlu, however, wasn't angry, wasn't smiling, and wasn't distracted.
His entire person was calm and natural.
In a competition of skills, any Source Iron Forger knew how to control themselves. Even if he saw his enemy kill him, Shen Yuanlu's emotions wouldn't fluctuate in the slightest. He was a Source Iron Forger. He could definitely be proud of his skills.
The heroes next to him also watched quietly. They believed that the Human Emperor wouldn't interfere.
If he did, they would definitely stop him.
After about half a day, the outer walls of the Origin Boat finally caved in a little. After six days, a small round hole slowly opened up on the outer walls. The moment the hole opened, Shen Yuanlu disappeared. He and tens of thousands of Divine Generals and heroes entered at the same time.
At this moment, Tang Shidao didn't follow.
"Master Tang, if you don't go in, you'll be six days late," said a Dragonman hero next to him when he saw the hole close up again. He spoke very politely. After all, Tang Shidao was also a Source Iron Forger. He didn't want to offend anyone.
"It doesn't matter." Tang Shidao turned around and flew back to his side.
He reached out.
He touched.
He fused his Demon Energy.
Tang Shidao spent a total of 18 days to open up the hole, three times slower than Shen Yuanlu. When everyone saw Tang Shidao disappear, they thought that the Human Emperor would definitely lose. Channeling the Demon Energy took even longer, and he didn't have strong reinforcements to help him fight the guardian puppets. According to normal calculations, the Human Emperor wouldn't be able to do it in half a year. However, Master Shen Yuanlu estimated that it wouldn't even take a month.
The mysterious formation inside the Origin Boat would be a variable. However, even if the Human Emperor was better at solving puzzles, he would still lose in opening the passage.
The poisonous woman's expression was very bad.
However, Jin Yuliu and Jin Yuli's expressions were a little strange.
"Don't think too much. Just watch quietly," the Three-eyed Man said softly, indicating that Jin Yuliu and Jin Yuli shouldn't show their emotions on their faces.
"Oh, thank you." Jin Yuliu and Jin Yuli reacted quickly and calmly waited.
At this moment, everyone present knew.
This was just a warm-up!
How could a Source Iron Forger's competition be so simple? No prizes for winning? No losses for losing? This wasn't a Source Iron Forger's competition! This was a real competition. If you won, you'd get rich, but if you lost, you'd lose everything! More importantly … … where were the bets?
In a real Source Iron Forger's competition, there would definitely be a dealer who would jump out and open the bets.
Similarly, there would be many people who would place bets.
This round was just a warm-up.
The Human Emperor didn't just have to face Shen Yuanlu, and Shen Yuanlu's opponent wasn't just Tang Shidao … … He had lived for so many years, and had also offended countless Source Iron Forgers. There were many who were prepared to settle the score with him. Once this warm-up match was over, the Forgemasters of various factions would jump out to compete with each other.
If the Human Emperor was weak, they would step on him.
If the Human Emperor was strong, they would support him.
