Wu Hou looked at the Fierce Soldier in front of him, exposing an interested expression.

The young lady widened her eyes, circled around Fierce soldier a few times, somewhat unsatisfied: “Teacher can be so urghhhh, to send such an ugly mechanical weapon.”

To the young lady, it was too ugly, like a huge black galvanized pot. If not for the rough white outlines of the eyes nose and mouth, it would have looked slightly more stupid and cute, there was practically not one good point about it.

But Wu Hou felt that it was good, such a valiant image, one look could tell that it was made with good leather. Beside him was Leng Feng who had just completed his urgent mission.

“Who is a mechanical martial artist?” Wu Hou asked.

Leng Feng thought for a while: “I think there is a person called Yu Qing, but his strength is not strong enough, roughly at the fourth level.”

The standards of mechanical martial artists was not too high, since from the beginning, the standards of mechanical weapons could not improve.To many people, the line of mechanical martial artists had no future. Those who were actually willing to waste their time on being mechanical martial artists, were doing it more out of passion.

“Call him out to try.” Wu Hou found himself a seat, sipped on his tea and said: “let us see what mechanical weapon our little teacher Tang has gifted us. He too has a mechanical martial artist by his side, and uses a mechanical weapon from the Southern Cross Army.”

“Mechanical weapon from the Southern Cross Army?” Leng Feng was surprised: “That is not easy to get.”

“Didn’t he say he wanted to go to Southern Cross Constellation? Don’t tell me he plans to find the lost martial techniques of mechanic weapons from the Southern Cross Army?” Wu Hou muttered to himself: “He really does have ambitions, that person!”

The young lady retorted resentfully: “Father, it is not ambitions, it’s dreams!”

Wu Hou regained his senses, seeing the young lady’s pouting face, he laughed out loud: “My smart daughter is correct, dreams, that is dreams!’

Leng Feng did not say anything, but sent the instructions down.

After a while, a frail and skinny young man came up on the field, he looked at Wu Hou, his expression looking cramped and reserved.

“Master Hou!” Yu Qing bowed.

Wu Hou waved his hand: “don’t need for the politeness, I called you over, is because I want you to try this mechanical weapon.”

When Yu Qing entered, he saw the mechanical weapon in front of everybody, and he roughly knew what it was about, so when Master Hou said that, he took a deep breath and said: “Yes!”

Yu Qing was born from a moderately affluent family, he had substantial family finances, but it was still not enough for his mechanical weapon passion. He was extremely familiar with mechanical weapons, all the current mechanical weapons in the market, he had roughly played with all of them once.

But, his heart was violently beating while looking at the mechanical weapon in front of him, such an ugly mechanical weapon, it was his first time seeing it.

If not for Master Hou’s orders, he would definitely not look at the mechanical weapon at all. God, seeing the huge amounts of metal barbs on the joints of the mechanic weapon, such terrible work, who knew how trashy this mechanic weapon standards were. The sides of the head armor were crooked and uneven, like an earthworm, causing Yu Qing to feel disgusted. But what he was more unable to accept was, he actually saw – a big patch!

A Patch!

Damn it, is this considered a mechanical weapon?

Was this a beggar edition?

Damn it, to actually use a patch, you should at least find a color similar to the metal, this color was so off that everyone will think it is an important point, it must be intentional!

Definitely intentional!

Yu Qing resisted the disgust and anger in his heart, and began inspecting Fierce Soldier. He had even begun to draw a mental sketch, how did the producer not leave any trace of attack on this worn out mechanical weapon.

It was a disgrace to the world of mechanical weapons!

There was not a touch of beauty on this!

Yu Qing secretly kept scolding and insulting the mechanical weapon, but his hand actions did not stop inspecting it, he was under Master Hou’s inspection now, he felt that if he showed a sign of unprofessionalism, would he be turned into slags by Master Hou?

Seeing Yu Qing’s adept movements, Wu Hou lightly nodded his head, he could see that Yu Qing was familiar with what he was doing. He was foreign to mechanical martial artists, but, he could not be blamed. In the Wu Hou government, even amongst the experts of the Tian Xing Star clusters, there was not one mechanical martial artist.

Not knowing since when, but the mechanical martial artists became the lowest life form.

In ordinary people’s eyes, although the mechanical martial artists and machine engineers said they wanted to revive the mechanic era, to everyone else that was just them ravaging deliriously.

No one cared about them, that was just a group of rich, living in a dream poor worms.

In the current era where strength was prevailing, the catchphrase was loud and clear, there was nothing stronger than the fist. As long as you had the power, you can make other people envious, without any power and to reminiscence about past glories, that was just a self consolation and proof of a failure.

The mechanical martial artists gradually became a small circle.

Yu Qing’s power was not high, but in the Wu Hou government’s ruling regions, he had a name. His name did not prove his strength, but it was regarding his half roles. As a mechanical martial artist, he was half an expert, as a machine engineer, he was also half an expert, to be well versed in both, it was rarely seen in the circle.

His standard was not high, but his knowledge and experience was.

Although there was intense disgust in his heart, he dared not deceive Wu Hou.

So ugly, so ugly, so ugly….

All the areas that disregarded qualities, made him swallow again and again, but suddenly, he was stunned.

“Yi!”

His voice was crisp and clear in the quiet training grounds, Wu Hou who had his eyes closed opened them. Wu Hou was somewhat experienced, Yu Qing believed he could cover up his expressions very well, but he was seen through by Wu Hou completely.

Although Wu Hou was slightly disappointed, but he did not care about it too much, and simply closed his eyes to rest. IF not for the fact that the mechanical weapon was given by Tang Tian, he would had long thrown it into the bin. Whether or not it was powerful, it had no meaning to him. The most important thing was the gesture, that Tang Tian actually sought to give it to him.

Hearing Yu Qing’s shrill, he was caught by surprise, and casually asked: “Is there a problem?”

“No, no problem!” Yu Qing was frightened, and panicky replied.

“Oh, then please continue.” Wu Hou could see that Yu Qing’s face was unnatural, but he did not say anything, and continued closing his eyes to rest.

Seeing Wu Hou closing his eyes, Yu Qing released a breath, his gaze was fixated on the True Power wiring design in the interior of the mechanical weapon, his expression was complicated. The exterior was so created disgustingly without a regard for quality, but the True Power circuit design interior, was a beautiful piece of art! It was his first time seeing such a robust and aesthetically pleasing True Power circuit, those blue lines of wiring, were the most beautiful existence he had ever seen.

But what he found even more inconceivable, was that he did not understand it!

That scared him.

The number of mechanical weapons he had handled, was more than a hundred. On a daily basis, as long as anyone’s mechanical weapon had a slight malfunction, they would go and find him to fix it, and there were even mechanical martial artists from other planets that would specifically come down to find him for help. In the small circle of mechanical weapons, he was definitely considered well experienced and knowledgeable.

But, he dared to swear, that he had never seen such a complicated True Power circuit before!

When he first caught sight of the True Power wiring, he was stunned. The contrast of the two sides, caused him to involuntarily shrill out, when he finally reacted back, his face had a huge change.

But Master Hou did not catch him on it, so he hide his nervous mind, and began to continue studying the set of mechanical weapon. Yu Qing began to perspire in cold sweat, Master Hou was usually severe and fussy, if he could not explain the functions of the ugly thing, he would definitely not have a good life ahead.

Since he could not understand the True Power circuit, he had no other choice but to test it…

Yu Qing wiped away his perspiration, as he began to feel the pressure. To look directly at Master Hou’s eyes and speak a lie, he did not have the guts to do so.

After that, he caught sight of a card slot, this never appeared in a mechanical weapon before, and caused him to feel even more pressure.

His perspiration trickled down his back, Yu Qing’s pressure doubled, since when, did mechanical weapons have card slots?

This card slot must be an ornament right…

Suddenly, Yu Qing’s hand shivered, he suddenly remembered a small news he heard before. The great machine engineers in Onyx Soul, had already begun studying and researching the merging of mechanical weapons and spirit cards.

Don’t tell me….

This is a fake…

Yu Qing subconsciously swallowed saliva, since such mechanical techniques are being researched by people, then that must means they would be the first to produce such things, how could it possibly appear on such a broken mechanical weapon?

It was meant to scare people.. Definitely to scare people!

Thinking about it, he had decided to test it out personally, and casually inserted a fourth level spirit card into the slot. The fourth level spirit card quality was so so, the fourth level [Iron Hammer Fist].

Ziiiiii!

The spirit card suddenly lit up, following that the spirit card and card slot disappeared.

Crash!

The ugly galvanized pot mechanical weapon, suddenly exhibited a stance, the big iron hands that was an eyesore suddenly clenched tightly, under Yu Qing’s stunned expression, both fists became like a pair of iron hammers, and heavily hammered onto the floor.

Boom!

The ground around the pair of hammer fists, formed countless of cracks that extended out like spiderwebs.

“Fourth level Iron Hammer Fists activated, Remaining number of activatable martial technique skills: 2.”

Hearing that extremely clumsy and stiff sound, Yu Qing’s brain was suddenly knocked awake.

Activating the Iron Hammer Fist…. Remaining number of activatable martial technique skills is 2…”

That card slot was real….

Yu Qing was stunned like a wooden chicken, suddenly, he quivered, his face becoming deathly white.

Wait a minute!

That voice…. Why is there a voice…

Unless…unless it’s a martial spirit?

Suddenly Yu Qing thought of another rumor, and blood immediately rushed to his head.

Wu Hou’s eyes suddenly burst open, fourth level Iron Hammer Fist! Just now that galvanized pot looking fists that turned into a hammer, that was Iron Hammer Fists! Wu Hou’s gaze landed onto the iron hammers between the cracks, he was stumped for words. That fist could only be considered as mid range, But he saw Yu Qing inserting the spirit card just now. Seeing that there was remaining 2 card slots, that meant that it could still learn two more martial techniques.

Any martial artist, if they could have three more mid range martial techniques, their style of fighting would be improved abundantly!

Wu Hou immediately recognized its value.

Suddenly, he stood up – Martial Spirit Fluctuation!

This set of mechanical weapon, actually had the same fluctuation as Star Treasure martial spirits…

Wu Hou’s entire face was of surprise.

While Yu Qing who had gone through the most surprise, his eyes instantly rolled to the back, like a blockhead, he directly dropped onto the ground, fainted!
