Ink City’s horizon exchange competition had just started. However, most of the audience had not recovered from the shock yesterday. Even the participants were still dazzled.

A Heaven Road List Martial Artist was killed!

In any of the planets in the Southern Sky’s 42 Constellations, it was major news. In addition, the fighter that had died was initially registered as a mechanical martial artist in the competition, setting a record that was hard to achieve. For mechanical martial artists, to be listed on the Heaven Road was a far-fetched ambition.

It had been a long time since a mechanical martial artist was ranked on the Heaven Road list. Today, those fighters on the Heaven Road List who were termed as mechanical martial artists were in fact not purely mechanical martial artists, but simply had interest in mechanical weapons, hence they named themselves as such.

Thunder was similar to them. But compared to the rest of the mechanic martial artists, Thunder had formidable strength in mechanical weapons.

After Liu Ya Zhi, who had captured people’s attention with his eye-catching performance, announced his withdrawal from the competition, the enthusiasm of the audience died down. Many of them were anticipating whether Liu Ya Zhi would be a threat to Thunder, which made them very upset over his withdrawal.

Participants of the competition included not only mechanical martial artists, but also a large number of machine engineers. After repeated research from machine engineers, they came out with a shocking conclusion. Snow, which Thunder was piloting, was a very unique form as compared to the traditional types of mechanical weapons.

Snow was extremely nimble. Never was there a mechanical weapon that had reached the level of nimbleness as Snow had.

Rumours of the Mo Family and ThunderSnow cooperation soon spread across Ink City like wildfire.

No one knew that at this moment, Tang Tian and Sai Lei had just left Ink City. The Corvus Gold and the design blueprint were all given to the Mo Family. Tang Tian, who was carrying 5.2 billion worth of Star Coins, was cautious of strangers, constantly looking around to see who might have noticed the large cash he was carrying. On the other hand, Sai Lei dwelled into her fantasy on how to best spend the fortune, while blabbering to herself on what she should do.

“I want to build a luxurious mechanical weapon!”

“I yearn for a room full of gorgeous dresses.”

“I want….”

Only after finding Bing did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Bing saw Tang Tian guilty expression and said in astonishment, “You failed?”

“I got the money!” Tang Tian let out a huge smile. He then realized that he had been smiling from just now, hence his cheeks went numb.

Bing was elated. With this fortune, they could improve their weapons enormously. And if they wanted to buy Spirit cards, they could afford a lot of good ones as well. Tang Tian as of now required rank six spirit cards. These types of cards were abundant, but it was expensive to buy quality ones since rank six cards had entered the domain of the Heaven Road List martial artists.

Rank seven spirit cards were even more expensive. And Tang Tian’s training required the use of rank six star rocks, hence their purchases were going to be very expensive.

More Star Coins signified faster progress in training. Bing understood the benefits that could be garnered from the Star Coin fortune.

“That’s great. This is a big sum of money, which can last us a long time.” They could sense happiness underneath Bing’s tone.

Tang Tian repeated to Bing the series of events that happened over the two days, including the story on Mo Family and them seeking mentorship. Tang Tian was surprised that when he told Bing about the transaction made for 100 million StarCoins for each person, Bing was not excited about it.

Bing replied, “The Mo Family is a very good ally to have. Since you guys are not going into the business of manufacturing mechanical spirit weapons, then you all will have no economic conflict with the Mo Family. Once the mechanical spirit weapons starts to rise in popularity, the status of a mechanical martial artist will rise in tandem. And with a strong foundation, Mo Family has the ability to benefit from this event. The future of the mechanical world might be dominated by both mechanical spirit weapons and blood meridians weapon sect. Since this is so, there will be a feud between us and the Blood Weapons Group. Hence, we must be ready.”

Tang Tian was puzzled and did not fully comprehend what Bing had said. “So does that mean you agree?”

“Yes.” Bing nodded. “But the mentoring price is to be 300 million for each person, limited to two people at most.”

Tang Tian took a big gulp and replied, “300 million for each?”

Sai Lei, who overheard the conversation, was stunned as well by the price stated by Bing.

“That’s right.” Bing was firm. “If it was during my generation, 300 million would have been too little to hire me as a mentor. They must be dreaming!”

Tang Tian glanced Bing and matched him up, “Big Uncle, I think I need to get to know you better. I did not expect that you were such a profiteer!”

Bing ignored him and changed the subject, “You decided to let the Wu Guang and his guys to handle the Blood Weapons Group? They are suitable for the job. Have you contacted them?”

“I couldn’t get a hold of them” Tang Tian replied. “I am not sure why the Honorable Martial Plate couldn’t be used to contact them.”

Sai Lei exclaimed, “It is because of the Spirit Region. There are too many martial spirit pieces drifting around the Spirit Region, so those items that utilize martial spirits at their core will have problem functioning. I was already worried before whether mechanical martial weapons will have problem functioning inside the Spirit Region.”

“So that is why!” Tang Tian realized.

“It is not just that.” Sai Lei explained, “To deliver messages across Southern Sky’s 42 constellations is also much easier. That includes Northern Sky’s 19 Continents. But the wide gulf makes it hard to message between these two regions.”

“Then how does one deliver it through to the Spirit Region?” Tang Tian was puzzled, “Does that mean I have to make another trip down?”

“No need. I gave them a Spirit Sound Tube.” Sai Lei was delighted, “Although I was not able to come out with something like the Honorable Martial Plate from Honorable Martial Group, delivering messages across the Spirit Region is still not too hard for me.

“Let me see!” Tang Tian was curious of the new gadget.
