The saber-toothed mechanical tiger roared, having endured for a long time. It lunged at Jiang Wen, who was standing in the center of the arena. Its body, over ten feet long, combined with its sharp claws and teeth, was enough to make any opponent tremble, let alone a machine child who had not yet come of age.
Jiang Wen watched the charging beast, not losing his composure despite the ferocious attack. He slowly raised his long blade, closed his eyes, and focused his mind.
“Awoo!!” The saber-toothed tiger leaped down, its mouth revealing inch-long fangs! The child's head was not enough for it to swallow in one bite.
In that instant, the tip of the long blade rang out with a joyful sound, as if the weapon had found its own pleasure. Jiang Wen opened his eyes, his gaze like an eagle.
The long blade struck! Like a bolt of lightning rising from the ground! Even in a sea of roaring people, the clear ring of the long blade could be heard!
In the blink of an eye, the long blade pierced through the saber-toothed tiger's head, shooting out a ten-foot-long fountain of orange-yellow blood, and stuck into the sand behind the saber-toothed tiger. Blood covered the entire long blade, gathering and sliding down to the tip, merging into the earth.
“— Truly amazing! What a stunning strike! Our Three-Six-Five has successfully defeated the seemingly invincible beast! He has created a miracle!” The stage was silent for a moment, then burst into cheers, applauding the long blade.
“Next.” The black-haired guard hurriedly ran out.
“Next up is the giant bear from Juque. The sheer size of this terrifying bear is enough to frighten anyone!”
The long blade pierced through the bear's brain, and with a mournful roar, the giant bear fell heavily to the ground.
“Three-Six-Five has won again! This is truly shocking!”
“Ten thousand!”
“Next.”
… …
When the ninth giant puppet fell onto the arena, everyone held their breath and watched the child, even the commentator on the stage stopped speaking. The child, holding the long blade and still looking proudly around, even though he was covered in the blood of machines and panting for breath, no one dared to underestimate him anymore.
A thunderous cheer erupted in the arena, everyone shouting Three-Six-Five, like waves rising higher and higher.
“Our Three-Six-Five has successfully won nine consecutive matches! This is unprecedented in history! He has created a miracle! We… according to the rules, he will face one last match. Winning the match will grant him freedom and one hundred spirit crystals! And his opponent, who is it?! Let us look forward to it together.”
Jiang Wen, listening to the voices in his ears, felt the weakness in his body. When he was just observing Tuo Quan's memories, he discovered that this child had extremely good martial arts talent, truly a born martial arts prodigy.
When the last opponent entered the arena, Jiang Wen quietly looked at the opponent, a giant spirit.
That was the giant spirit puppet that Jiang Wen had seen before. He was very familiar with this thing, knowing that although it was strong, it was also extremely clumsy. Although his body was very weak now, it didn't take much effort to defeat it.
After everything was over, the so-called freedom was not realized. He was still taken back to the prison.
“Kid, you can go.” The black-eyed guard opened the iron door, and he couldn't help but smile as he looked at the child lying on the grass bed. “You don’t have to stay in this place anymore.”
Jiang Wen supported his shoulder and climbed up from the bed, looking at the guard in confusion. He originally thought that this arena would not give up easily, but he didn't expect that the promise would actually be fulfilled. He didn't believe that the tower master of this arena was so benevolent as to let him go.
“A nobleman wants you, she thinks highly of you.” Taking out a new set of clothes, the guard helped him take off his tattered clothes, and looking at the wounds on Jiang Wen's body, he felt a little pity for some reason. “You don’t have to come to this kind of place in the future.”
Jiang Wen heard the words and looked at the empty iron cage opposite him, muttering to himself: “I hope no other machines will come in here in the future.”
The guard was stunned, and the movements in his hands slowed down a bit. Then he shook his head with a wry smile: “Someone will always come.”
“No, one day, it won’t be like this.” He squinted his eyes and looked at the guard, his dark eyes filled with a belief as firm as steel,
The guard lowered his head and didn't say anything more, helping Jiang Wen put on his clothes. Taking his hand, he slowly walked out of the prison.
The prison was very large, the passages were dense like a spider web, walking through that empty place. Under the strange gazes of the two guards, they passed through the corridor in the depths, which was the only way to go outside. Countless wailing sounds echoed in the dark corridor, the guard's angry scolding, the sound of soft whips, and various strange mechanical sounds intertwined together. This is Mo Du's arena, but also Mo Du's large-scale human trafficking place, and even the largest black market in the entire Mo Du.
The guard led Jiang Wen out of the arena, facing the golden sun of the morning, the prosperous city appeared in front of Jiang Wen. People of various shapes walked on the street, and giant airships shuttled in the sky. Bridges were built above the buildings, making people unconsciously admire the magnificence of Mo Du.
“Sir, the person you want.” The guard walked to the silver-haired, purple-eyed machine and pushed the thin Jiang Wen over. “Sir, Tuo Quan is still young, please forgive him for any offense.”
The guard lowered his head and smiled at Jiang Wen's eyes.
“Don't worry, the master likes him and won't abuse him. It is his honor to enter the Tai Mansion.” The old man said slowly, his clothes were extremely clean, and his hair and beard were meticulous. “Let's go, we are leaving here soon.”
Jiang Wen followed the old man towards the giant building in the center of Mo Du, which were two triangular buildings that went straight into the clouds. The pure white exterior exuded a milky white color in the sunlight, and the height of hundreds of meters was enough for anyone walking on the ground to look up. In the middle of the two buildings, a huge light green vortex flickered with light, like an emerald inlaid between heaven and earth.
“That is the Tai Mansion.” The old man seemed to understand Jiang Wen's curiosity and said calmly. “You will also be a guard in the Tai Mansion in the future.”
“As a guard of the Tai Mansion, you should be loyal to the master in everything you do. No matter what the master asks you to do, you must not disobey the order. Remember, your life is given by the master.”
Before seeing the so-called master, Jiang Wen imagined what this master would look like, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time after he saw that person. It was a huge bronze head, looking at him with extremely interesting eyes, as if he was looking at a satisfactory item.
Although he hated this kind of gaze very much, but his current body had no right to refuse at all. In the world, the weak are the original sin.
“I have seen your life-and-death battle, very good.” The head looked at Jiang Wen with appreciation, then turned to look at the old man. “Take him down and transform him, and he will be the fangs of the Tai Mansion in the future.”
The old man respectfully responded and took Jiang Wen away.
What kind of place is the Tai Mansion? It was not until Jiang Wen withdrew from Tuo Quan's memories that he understood why Tuo Quan, as a slave, was so loyal to the Tai Mansion.
“That is the remnant limb of the Holy King taken by the Yu Yun clan. I didn't expect it to be placed in the Tai Mansion. It seems that the remnant body of the Holy King in the Yu God Temple must be related to this.”
Jiang Wen recalled everything he had experienced in his memory, and he knew more and more about this mechanical world.
This is a world of mechanical people with strict hierarchy, the top and bottom are irreversible, and the classes cannot be crossed.
