Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

(I've already laid the groundwork quite a bit, so I'll say it again: the gathering of the Five Heroes of the Clouds is about to accelerate! Made in heaven!)

In the year 7000 of the Astrological Calendar, many non-Chinese people flocked to Luofu.

The reason for this grand occasion is that Luofu is about to hold the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony!

This is not only a military parade of the Luofu Cloud Cavalry, but also a cultural exchange event initiated by Luofu and involving various world cultures.

At the same time, the Luofu Immortal Boat will set up a arena where the most outstanding young generation of Luofu will defend their positions. Young people from all sides can come here to prove themselves!

The martial arts ceremony was unprecedentedly grand, causing a surge in the number of people in Luofu, which brought considerable trouble to the Earth Balance Division and the Cloud Cavalry.

The Celestial Ship is a place many worlds yearn for, especially on some peripheral planets, where its existence is no less significant than that of the Heavenly Court in mythology.

At this moment, Cheng Xiao was dozing off behind the desk next to the deputy director of the Earth Balance Division.

A steward burst in, shouting, "Lord Chengxiao! There's a package for you!"

(Deacon: Field personnel of the Earth Balance Division, responsible for screening suspicious individuals and ensuring the safety of the Immortal Ship.)

"Just put it on the ground for me."

"Lord Chengxiao, this is breakfast that Lord Yinyue brought for you."

"Oh, then please put it on the table for me."

"Lord Chengxiao, the number of people on the Immortal Ship has surged recently. Our leader thinks you can't slack off anymore."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao raised his eyes slightly and picked up the jade tablet: "Then I need to ask Lord Dragon Lord for his support."

The steward immediately cried out, "Lord Chengxiao! You can't do this every time! How can you act so recklessly just because you have Lord Yinyue's power?!"

"Sorry, but this feels so good!"

"Please, save us!"

Cheng Xiao sighed helplessly: "Bring the forms here and have the duty officers assist the officers in screening the port personnel for the first round of screening."

"Have all the scribes put down their unimportant paperwork and take charge of arranging accommodations for the outsiders, whether it's guesthouses or private rooms, and make the arrangements themselves."

"Then send the doctors to places with large crowds, such as Changletian and Xingchahai, to popularize the common knowledge and precautions of the Immortal Ship, so as to prevent ignorant people from causing chaos."

"Yes, sir!"

(Duty: Responsible for all kinds of needs of the Land Balance Division, assisting officers in screening suspicious persons and cooperating with colleagues in action.)

(Recorder: A clerk from the Earth Balance Bureau, responsible for planning all matters related to the Immortal Ship and ensuring a comfortable living experience.)

(PhD: Researcher at the Department of Geological Balance. Conducts ecological restoration and academic research in Xianzhou. A veritable encyclopedia of Xianzhou.)

After assigning the tasks, Cheng Xiao could relax and slack off again. With Yu Zhao and Jin Ren around, these tasks could actually be handled by a small number of staff.

Upon opening the package, I was surprised to find shrimp dumplings still steaming hot!

The outer layer of the wrapping has a water film specially made by the Cloud Chanting Technique, which can prevent heat loss. Danfeng is quite thoughtful.

Of course, Danfeng delivers breakfast almost every morning without fail.

Earlier, the noble Dragon Lord suddenly became interested in learning cooking skills. However, the Dragon Lord, who was good at controlling water, could not control the heat and often burned the dishes.

But at least he learned how to make broth, which can be considered Canglong's talent.

But why would a noble dragon lord need to cook himself? Since he had no talent for it, Danfeng lost interest.

As for those guys from the Mirror Stream? They're all like hungry wolves, barely able to keep up with the demands of learning.

When it's lunchtime, I immediately get up and leave, not wanting to stay a minute longer.

At this moment, Jing Yuan was already waiting outside the office building of the Earth Balance Division. The Cloud Cavalry changed shifts every day, and Jing Yuan was able to go back for lunch each time.

We ate lunch prepared by Cheng Xiao.

Jingyuan was no longer the little girl she used to be. Her mischievousness and wicked ideas were hidden, and only through her phoenix eyes could one sense that she was thinking of something bad.

Moreover, Jingyuan has grown taller, almost as tall as Jingliu. According to Chengxiao's observation, Jingyuan can still grow!

But what's even more surprising is Jing Yuan's achievement. By following Jing Liu in battles and gaining military merits and increasing his strength, Jing Yuan is now a Xiao Wei!

Coupled with her intelligence, her style can be said to be the opposite of Jingliu's.

"Uncle-Master, I can smell the aroma of shrimp dumplings again."

"Sigh, I eat it every day, you know that."

"Danfeng is too domineering, taking up all my time here every day."

"You made such a fuss over something as simple as eating. Go back and eat."

"Okay~"

Traveling together, going home, dining, taking a walk—this is the daily routine, occasionally punctuated by little surprises.

"Jingyuan, are you participating in the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony?"

"My master said I should be the swordsman defending the arena!"

"Really? Can you do it? These are the younger generation from the Star Sea, none of them are simple characters!"

"Uncle-Master, how dare you underestimate me! I was trained by you and Master!"

"Then let me see how much you've grown."

Cheng Xiao was also curious about such a large-scale event. What kind of undercurrents would be brewing at the martial arts ceremony? Or would he be able to see any extraordinary people?

Filled with curiosity, Cheng Xiao and Jing Yuan participated in the opening ceremony and began to enjoy the various competitions.

Intelligent machines, company members, ordinary fighters and other characters appeared on the martial arts stage, including many cloud knights from the Immortal Ship.

"Jingyuan, aren't you going to participate?"

"My master said I am the defender of the title, and only the final winner of the martial arts competition can fight me."

"Tsk, I was hoping to see your skill level sooner. By the way, why didn't Jingliu come?"

"Master is the Sword Master! He has so many responsibilities, especially during such a busy time on the Immortal Ship. Not everyone can slack off like Uncle-Master!"

"Hey! You think you can boss me around? You're asking for it!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong~ But don't worry, Master will come to watch the battle on the day I defend my title."

After the casual conversation ended, Cheng Xiao began to observe the fighting styles of various forces.

A moment later, a tall man with red hair appeared in Cheng Xiao's line of sight! His left arm was actually a steel prosthetic, the metallic luster exuding a sense of power!

This boxer reminded Cheng Xiao of the character Luca, but clearly he wasn't.

The red-haired man's every punch was incredibly fast and heavy! He was extremely experienced in combat and could handle the company's mechs with ease.

The steel prosthetic limbs appear to have been enhanced, allowing them to charge up and unleash powerful impacts, compensating for their destructive force.

Unsurprisingly, the red-haired man won.

At this moment, the host began to praise loudly:

"As expected of a boxer who hails from a remote planet yet made it to the Pierpoint finals! Igor Haft! Let's give this strongman a round of applause!"

The host's voice prompted Cheng Xiao to sift through his memories spanning hundreds of years, unearthing knowledge from the past.

Igor Haft, he is a warrior from Yalilo-VI!

Perhaps he can help us get in touch with things related to Ariello-VI in advance.
