Mechanical Pioneer Under One Person

--------

Unlike the previous two rounds of intense fighting, Liu Ke finished today's bout without breaking a sweat. After all, aside from using a small amount of Qi to project some steel, he hadn't expended much energy.

So, he didn't need anyone to support him today, but carried the big box on his back and slowly walked out of the contestant gate.

After he reunited with Gao Yushan, he did not choose to look for the Nadutong team, but went straight back to the Taoist temple where they were staying.

"Aren't you going to watch other people's games today?"

Hearing Gao Yushan's question, Liu Ke couldn't help but make a funny expression, and then replied: "After the matchup map came out, the situation was very clear."

"It might be useful for Chu Lan, Sister Baoer and the others to watch the game, but for me, there's really no need for them."

At this point, Liu Ke paused again, then pointed at the greyhound in the iron box and said, "I have to hurry and add two 'small items' to this guy so that he can take on the task of collecting samples tomorrow."

Seeing Liu Ke sitting directly on the ground and starting to dismantle the [Xiquan], Gao Yushan was afraid that he would catch a cold, so she found a cushion from somewhere else in the hall and put it under his butt.

Then, she squatted down, brushed back some of her messy hair, and looked curiously at the 'little project' Liu Ke was busy with. She asked softly, "Why is it unnecessary? Tell me about it~"

With one hand, Liu Ke removed the dog's head from the joint, and with the other hand, he turned off the switch that connected its body.

After completing this operation, he finally answered, "Zhang Chulan's strength is not weak. In fact, you could even say he's very strong."

"And ever since the day he entered the mountains, he's been playing the clown trick, scaring everyone in the circle."

"Although I haven't seen the results, if he wants to 'play dumb and eat the tiger' and take down Tang Wenlong with lightning speed, it shouldn't be a problem."

"As for Sister Baoer, it's not difficult for her to take down Xiao Xiao. Feng Shayan and that Jia Zhengliang are also no match for her."

At this point, Liu Ke stretched himself and then said casually, "To be frank, in the Luotian Grand Ceremony, in Zhang Chulan's half of the group, he only has one opponent left, either Wang Ye or Zhuge Qing."

"These two are not easy to deal with, but I can still find a way to help him win."

At this point, Liu Ke paused, then continued, "As for my half of the bracket, I can tell with my butt that the finalist will be Zhang Lingyu."

Gao Yushan couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and asked softly, "Aren't you going to try to beat him?"

Liu Ke scratched his face and said awkwardly, "It's impossible to defeat him without using guns, armor, or poison."

"As for this [Small Dog], it's quite useful against those muscular and agile Inhumans."

"If we use it against Zhang Lingyu, the patterns within it will be easily dispersed by the lightning technique, and the auxiliary power source will also be easily overloaded. It's fine for a fight, but it's impossible to win with it."

After that, he took out another piece of special material, tossed it in his hand, and said, "This match between me and Zhang Lingyu is both troublesome and difficult to win, so I won't win."

"Tomorrow, all we have to do is wait for Master Lingyu to strike the [Little Dog] with his thunder spell. That will be the final test."

"As long as his black lightning technique is of similar form, quality and effectiveness to Zhang Chulan's lightning technique."

"Then the equipment I made for Zhang Chulan before coming to Longhu Mountain, the one used to [counter Zhang Lingyu], will be able to exert its best effect."

After hearing this, Gao Yushan couldn't help but look at the item that Liu Ke used as his trump card - a war hammer.

The appearance of the warhammer is very special. It is made of dark gray metal and engraved with complex Nordic patterns and inscriptions on the surface.

The hammer's head is square, while the handle is cylindrical. The handle is wrapped in brown leather with a swirling pattern in silver and gold, and ends in a brown rope loop.

As if he noticed Gao Yushan's gaze, Liu Ke couldn't help but become playful. He freed one hand and made a light shake towards the table where the hammer was.

call out!

As if it had received an order, the hammer slowly floated up, then turned around and flew backwards into Liu Ke's hand, allowing him to just hold the handle of the hammer.

Liu Ke waved the war hammer left and right. After a few moments of playing, he let go and continued to work.

But after he let go, the hammer did not fall to the ground, but floated in the air where Liu Ke had just grasped it, motionless.

"To be honest, this is what I'm most proud of, even compared to the battle armor."

"[Mjolnir], giving it to the future Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain as a magical weapon, wouldn't it be a perfect match?"

Chapter 120: Master Wang's Failed Persuasion

Wait until early the next morning.

"Chu Lan, these two things are for you."

Liu Ke opened his backpack, took out two things from it and handed them to Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Chulan took them and found that one of them was a pair of gloves, and the other was a silver European-style warhammer.

Liu Ke stretched out his hand and rubbed his sleepy eyes. Then he took a deep breath and said, "The gloves I originally made for you are no longer up to date, so I made a new pair."

Zhang Chulan nodded, then asked, "Brother Ke, who are these two?"

Hearing his question, Liu Ke slapped his face fiercely. After regaining consciousness, he replied, "Gloves are for attacking."

"It can fire a wide-range sonic cannon from a distance of thirty meters. I can't say how powerful the attack is, but it can definitely cause strong interference to Taoist Wang Ye."

"Sound waves are invisible and fast. Unless his Tai Chi Cloud Hands can cover his entire body at all times, it's absolutely impossible to defend against them."

"Of course, if he uses that Qimen Dunjia, you can also try it."

Seeing Zhang Chulan nod, Liu Ke introduced Mjolnir and said, "The most basic use of this hammer is similar to the effect of your [White Thunder] ring."

"I've attached a signal receiver to it. As long as you still have the White Thunder on your hand, the hammer will automatically fly back to your hand."

"In other words, you can throw him out against the enemy."

"Also, don't be afraid that it will be controlled by Taoist Wang."

"It can get pretty 'heavy'."

Perhaps this paragraph was too long, so Liu Ke patted his forehead and said, "It's okay to put it simply. Have you seen Marvel's Thor? It's similar to that Thor's hammer."

This statement was very vivid. Zhang Chulan, who had watched pirated movies on Renren Film and Television, immediately understood how to use the hammer and said repeatedly, "Oh, I see."

As if he had thought of something, Liu Ke finally frowned and said, "If you can take down Master Wang with the sonic shock gloves, try not to use that hammer."

"To put it bluntly, I'm using that hammer to help you deal with Zhang Lingyu. If he knew how to use it in advance, he'd be on guard."

After hearing this, Zhang Chulan also let out a deep breath and said with a smile: "I understand. It may not be useful. Maybe Sister Baoer has already stopped Taoist Wang Ye."

……

At 9:30 in the morning, the Nadutong team set off for the venue.

Not long after, the Taoist priest who was in charge of informing the contestants sang loudly, "The first round of competition is about to begin. Please invite Zhang Chulan and Wang Ye to enter."

Zhang Chulan said hello to his "relatives and friends" at Nadutong, hung a hammer on his lower back, and flipped down from the ring.

After Zhang Chulan entered, the Taoist priest called out four or five times, but Taoist Master Wang Ye still did not enter.

Another six or seven minutes passed, and the Nadutong cheering group in the audience looked at each other and felt relieved.

"Wang Ye, please enter quickly!"

"The King of Wudang! Please come in immediately!"

More than ten minutes passed, and seeing that Wang Ye had not arrived yet, Taoist Master Fu De of Longhu Mountain couldn't help but call his name loudly again and again, but there was still no sign of Wang Ye.

Taoist Master Fude helplessly gave his junior fellow apprentice a look. His junior fellow apprentice understood and said loudly: "The King of Wudang is also in need."

But before he could finish his words, everyone present heard a panting sound coming from near the door of the venue.

Everyone looked again and saw that the panting sound came from none other than Taoist Master Wang Ye of Wudang.

“Ah! Ha~haah!”

"The end point!"

After eight or nine breaths, Taoist Wang Ye finally ran into the field panting, then sat down on the ground, looking behind him as if he was looking at a monster.

The person holding a shovel and chasing after him was none other than the top soldier of the North China Division of Nadutong - Feng Baobao!

Seeing that Feng Baobao was still chasing him fiercely, Taoist Wang Ye quickly freed a trembling hand, made a hand seal, and chanted under his breath: "Release! Relevant! The blinding incense, resolve!"

As he withdrew his tactics, Feng Baobao's eyes, which were covered by gray fog while she was running, became bright as if washed by a clear spring.

But she couldn't stop swinging the shovel, and with a powerful blow, she smashed it between Wang Ye's legs. The force of this "slash" was so great that even the shovel, which was infused with Qi, couldn't withstand it and broke crisply.

This blow, which nearly wiped out his entire family, frightened Wang Ye so much that he shuddered several times. He then shouted, "Still coming?! Big sister, besides burying me, is there anything else on your mind?"

"Look where we've ended up."

Liu Ke on the stage couldn't help but puff up his cheeks when watching this scene, and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Who made Feng Baobao do such a poor job?

Xu San, who was standing beside him, opened his mouth wide, his chin hanging low. Seeing that the other members of the Ten Lords were also frowning, he couldn't help but mutter, "It's over. It's over."

Xu Si laughed a few times and said, "Alright, what's the point? As long as Chu Lan can become the Heavenly Master, who cares what happens today?"

"If this hadn't happened, we would have been trying to control the negative examples of Master Zhengtian's succession."

Xu San shuddered when he heard this and asked quickly, "When did we start planning this?"

Xu Si laughed a few times, then put his arm around his brother's shoulders and said, "It was written in the Yaoxing Society's e-magazine, and it was Director Zhao who forwarded it to me."

"Okay, stop being such a wimp and watch the game."

Since the beginning of this round of competition, due to the small number of remaining players and matches, the originally large number of venues have been reduced to only two.

This means that the No. 1 and No. 2 venues currently being used for the competition have both been modified overnight.

After the modification, each venue became much larger, and the center was about forty to fifty meters away from the audience seats.

Of course, the audience was mostly Inhumans, so the distance of forty or fifty meters wouldn't significantly affect their viewing experience. While the auditory effects did deteriorate somewhat, at least the visual experience was still guaranteed.

At this moment, at the request of Taoist Wang Ye, or perhaps out of disdain for Nadutong's underhanded tactics, the Taoist priests of Mount Longhu served each of the two contestants six steamed buns made of solid flour and a dish of side dishes as 'breakfast'.

After all, most of the Taoist masters in the "referee group" still hope that Taoist Wang Ye can take the opportunity to recover his strength and eliminate Bilian.

Taoist Wang Ye ate his steamed buns and pickles one by one, and at the same time, he kept talking to Zhang Chulan in a low voice.

Due to the distance, most of the audience could not hear what the two were saying.

Finally, amidst the boos from the audience for their delay, Zhang Chulan suddenly began to eat his steamed bun. Seeing this, Wang Ye sighed and kicked him with his knee.

Just when the audience thought the fight was about to begin, Wang Ye slowly walked out of the venue.

"Wang Ye! Where are you going?"

"Zhang Chulan, what's going on with you two?"

Taoist Master Fu De, who was the referee, was also confused by the behavior of the two people.
