389: Talos vs. Thundergod Skyrider

Chapter 389: talos VS Thor Heaven Rider

The Scion of Noble Families, who had been hesitating, focused their attention with surprise.

Upon seeing Wu Xian, their expressions became stranger one after another.

Although it was currently the turn of these Scion of Noble Families, according to unwritten rules, other young talents were “not qualified” to join in, unless they voluntarily gave up the challenge.

However, Wu Xian was a special exception, as the situation at the banquet two days prior was still vivid in their minds.

That poor fellow from the Zhao Family was still lying in the hospital.

“If you have real skills, then show them; don’t go against the scroll master,” Wu Xian teased the entire venue, “Right, Brother Bai, Young Master Zhao?”

Bai Shiqi and Zhao Qinghe forced a smile, “Brother Wu, why don’t you show us how it’s done first.”

“Exactly, exactly! With Brother Wu Xian making a move, he’ll surely be able to win a scroll master in one fell swoop!” Other Scion of Noble Families also chimed in enthusiastically.

They didn't know much about the Twelve Heavenly Riders at the moment, so if someone could test them out, it would allow them to be prepared and respond accordingly.

“Not long ago, the literary duel between Brother Wu and Zhao Jun left a deep impression on me. I never expected Wu Xian to be the Saintess’s hometown friend. My apologies for the oversight.”

“When Brother Wu Xian first appeared, his grand entrance also left a deep impression. With so many gold scrolls in hand, it surely won’t be difficult!”

At the same time, representatives from all sides were also stunned by Wu Xian’s sudden appearance.

Fortunately, Wu Xian had already proven his strength with a “super special effects show” before, so all parties present did not doubt Wu Xian’s capabilities.

The online audience was the same, mostly curious about Wu Xian.

But the most speechless ones were Tang Tiaotiao and the higher-ups of the Mechanical Dojo on stage.

“Little Xianzi, stop messing around. Why are you joining the fun?” Tang Tiaotiao said, exasperated.

“Don’t I want to take a free scroll master home?” Wu Xian replied with a light chuckle.

“...” Tang Tiaotiao said with a dark expression, “If you want one, can’t you just make it yourself?”

“That’s not the same. Free ones are the best.” Wu Xian said unhurriedly, “Don’t worry, I won’t use the Twenty-Eight Mansions gold scroll. I recently made a Mechanical Scroll, and it’s perfect for sparring with Sister Tiao’s Twelve Heavenly Riders.”

“Mechanical Scroll?” Tang Tiaotiao was slightly surprised, “You have a new mechanical work?”

“Uh, it’s not the vehicle type, it’s a different approach,” Wu Xian said, “It’s quite different from the style of current Mechanical Scrolls.”

“Alright then.”

Tang Tiaotiao couldn't help but become interested.

At this moment, Wu Xian looked towards Tang Beng, “Brother Tang Beng, come along. There are twelve arenas, and it’s not good for them all to be empty. Let’s both set an example for all the Young Masters of the noble families.

Oh, and Shifu-jie, why don’t you also join in the fun? Let’s try to take home three free scroll masters, haha~!”

Tang Beng responded with a smile and immediately stood up.

He came here this time to showcase his unique Mechanical Scroll to the world.

In fact, this was also something he had discussed with his younger sister, Tang Tiaotiao, beforehand.

As for Xue Lingling, she was clearly a bit restless. After all, she was also young, and having quietly developed in the Undead Dojo, deeply ostracized, she naturally wanted to have her moment of triumph in front of the Scion of Noble Families from all sides.

So, she decisively stepped onto a coffin lid and flew down onto the Death God Sky Knight’s arena.

Tang Beng, on his side, chose the God of War Sky Knight.

Seeing that the two were already in position, Wu Xian also unhurriedly flew down onto the Thor Heaven Rider’s arena.

The reason for choosing the Thor Heaven Rider was simple: the metal giant talos itself also had some origins related to lightning.

After all, in Greek mythology, talos was created by Zeus, and some say he was forged by Hephaestus, the god of fire.

Besides that, there was a third version.

In this version, talos was born from heaven and earth, and was the “Sun God” in ancient Cretan beliefs, an inherently mechanical life form.

It doesn’t matter which version is true; anyway, he fused the backgrounds of all three versions, haha.

In a word: only children make choices.

Seeing the three of them challenge together, the audience on site was filled with anticipation.

After all, their previous appearances were extremely impressive, indicating they definitely possessed a certain level of strength.

Among them, the one who made them most curious was undoubtedly Tang Beng, as from beginning to end, Tang Beng had never shown any strength.

They only knew that he was the Saintess Tang Tiaotiao’s older brother.

Since his younger sister became the Saintess of the Mechanical Dojo, Tang Beng, as her older brother, shouldn’t be too far behind, right?

Even the Elders of the Mechanical Dojo were secretly curious.

“Sister Tiao, would it be inappropriate for your brother to go up? Should we go easy on him or something?” A few Elders quietly asked for instructions.

Tang Tiaotiao raised an eyebrow, “Who are you looking down on? Does my brother need you to go easy on him?”

“But how can an ordinary Mechanical Scroll fight against the Twelve Heavenly Riders?” Everyone was puzzled.

“Hmph~ You’ll know soon enough,” Tang Tiaotiao said mysteriously, “This is also a surprise I prepared for you all. Although my older brother’s talent on the path of a traditional Scroll Master is mediocre, he has, through his own efforts, discovered a completely new path for Mechanical Scrolls!”

“A brand new scroll Dao?” The people of the Mechanical Dojo were confused.

The scroll Dao is the scroll Dao. What’s the difference between traditional and non-traditional?

Aren’t all scrolls conceived and drawn?

...On the Thor Heaven Rider arena, the young man opposite seemed to be a scion of the Tang Family’s main branch.

So, upon seeing Wu Xian, he was a bit nervous and conflicted.

After all, this was Brother Xian, personally endorsed by the great Sister Tiao. If he went too hard, it would definitely be inappropriate, but if he went too easy, he would inevitably be criticized by outsiders.

“No need to be nervous, just use all your strength,” Wu Xian smiled, signaling the other party to relax, “Even Sister Tiao might not be able to beat me, so you don’t need to hold back at all.”

Hearing this, the young man from the Tang Family was skeptical but silently controlled the Thor Heaven Rider to enter combat readiness.

Wu Xian, on his side, decisively released the metal giant—talos.

He hadn't been idle these past two days either, pushing talos all the way to gold scroll seven-star, making its Rank the same as the Thor Heaven Rider.

As soon as talos appeared, it immediately drew everyone’s attention.

“My goodness, what kind of Mechanical Scroll is this? It looks a bit dilapidated~!”

“It looks like an antique robot from an ancient tech era.”

“This art style is too strange, isn’t it?”

“It has no sense of technology at all; instead, it looks a bit like an old relic from the steam age.”

“Can this vintage car-level Mechanical Scroll even fight?”

“I feel like the Thor Heaven Rider doesn’t even need to make a move; I could just go up there bare-handed and punch it to pieces.”

“It’s not that simple. Look closely, this thing even has vein-like devices; it doesn’t seem like a purely Mechanical Scroll.”

“Don’t say it~ It seems to have something to it!”

Among the Scion of Noble Families present, Zhang Yao stared at talos on the stage, feeling more and more that something was off.

He seemed to have vaguely seen similar concepts and descriptions in his Family Legacy system.

Moreover, the Qi emanating from the metal giant was somewhat similar to his Zhang Family’s Legacy.

He wasn't the only one who noticed this; several Elders from the Demon God Dojo on the viewing platform also vaguely sensed something, their brows furrowed, exchanging glances.
