Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 389 Talos VS Thor's Sky Rider
The hesitant scions of noble families stared in astonishment at the scene before them.

Upon seeing that it was Wu Xian, their expressions became increasingly strange.

Although this was a round for the scions of prominent families, according to the unspoken rules, other talented young people were "not qualified" to join unless they voluntarily gave up the challenge.

However, Wu Xian was a special exception, after all, the situation at the banquet two days ago was still fresh in his mind.

That poor guy from the Zhao family is still lying in the hospital.

"If you have real skills, just show them off. Don't mess with the 'Scroll Master' even if you're not on your side," Wu Xian joked, teasing everyone. "Right, Brother Bai, Young Master Zhao?"

Bai Shiqi and Zhao Qinghe gave stiff smiles. "Brother Wu, why don't you set an example for us first?"

"Yes, yes, with Brother Wu Xian making a move, we'll definitely be able to take down the Scroll Master in one fell swoop!" The other young masters from various aristocratic families also chimed in with great enthusiasm.

They don't know much about the Twelve Sky Riders yet, so if someone could help them test them out, it would allow them to prepare and respond accordingly.

"Not long ago, Brother Wu and Zhao Jun's battle of wits is still fresh in my memory. I never expected that Wu Xian was actually a close friend of Her Highness the Holy Maiden from her hometown. My apologies for my disrespect."

"When they first appeared, Brother Wu Xian's lineup was quite impressive. With so many gold scrolls in hand, it must be no problem for them!"

At the same time, the representatives from all sides were also taken aback by Wu Xian's sudden appearance.

Fortunately, Wu Xian had already proven his abilities with the "Super Special Effects Show," so no one on site doubted his skills.

The online audience was similarly curious about Wu Xian.

But the most speechless ones were Tang Tiaotiao on stage and the higher-ups of the Mechanical Dojo.

"Little Xianzi~ Stop fooling around, why are you going up there to join in the fun?" Tang Tiaotiao said, both amused and exasperated.

"Wouldn't you like to take home a free Scroll Master?" Wu Xian replied with a light laugh.

"..." Tang Tiaotiao said with a black line, "If you want it, can't you just do it yourself?"

“That’s different. Free things are always the best.” Wu Xian said unhurriedly, “Don’t worry, I don’t need the Twenty-Eight Constellations Golden Scroll. I recently made a mechanical scroll, which will be perfect for a sparring match with Sister Tiao’s Twelve Heavenly Riders.”

"A mechanical scroll?" Tang Tiaotiao was slightly surprised. "You have a new mechanical creation?"

“Uh, it’s not the vehicle-based approach; it’s a different kind of thinking,” Wu Xian said. “It’s quite different from the style of today’s mechanical scrolls.”

"alright."

Tang Tiaotiao couldn't help but become interested.

At this moment, Wu Xian looked towards Tang Beng and said, "Brother Tang Beng, it's not good for all twelve arenas to be empty. Let's set an example for all the young masters from noble families."

Oh, right, Master Sister, why don't you come up and join the fun? Let's try to bring home three free Scroll Master machines, haha!

Tang Beng laughed in response and immediately stood up.

His purpose in coming here is to showcase his unique mechanical scroll to the world.

In fact, this was something I had discussed with my younger sister, Tang Tiaotiao, beforehand.

Xue Lingling, on the other hand, was clearly also eager to make a move. After all, she was a young woman who had quietly developed in the Necromancer's Gym and suffered a lot of exclusion. Naturally, she wanted to show off her skills in front of the scions of various noble families.

So he decisively stepped on the coffin lid and flew down onto the arena of Death's Heavenly Rider.

Tang Beng's side chose the War God Sky Riders.

Seeing that the two were in position, Wu Xian leisurely flew down onto the Thunder God's Sky Rider arena.

The reason for choosing Thor's Sky Rider is quite simple: the metal giant Talos himself has some connection to lightning.

After all, in Greek mythology, Talos was created by Zeus, or some say it was cast by Hephaestus, the god of fire.

In addition, there is a third version.

In this version, Talos is born of heaven and earth, is the "sun god" in ancient Cretan beliefs, and belongs to a naturally mechanical life form.

Which specific version is really not important, since he's basically merging the backgrounds of all three versions together, haha. In short: only children make choices.

As the three of them went on stage together to take on the challenge, everyone present was filled with anticipation.

After all, the three who appeared earlier had such a high level of prestige, they definitely have some ability.

If we were to say what intrigued them the most, it would undoubtedly be Tang Beng, since Tang Beng had never revealed any of his strength from beginning to end.

All I know is that he is the older brother of the Holy Maiden Tang Tiaotiao.

If the younger sister has become the saintess of the Mechanical Dojo, then Tang Beng, as the older brother, shouldn't be any less accomplished, right?
Even the elders of the Mechanical Dojo were secretly curious.

"Sister Tiao, is it inappropriate for your brother to go up there? Should we give him some water or something?" Several elders asked in hushed tones.

Tang Tiaotiao raised an eyebrow and said, "Who do you think you are? Do you think my brother needs to go easy on me?"

"How can an ordinary mechanical scroll fight against the Twelve Sky Riders?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Hmph~ You'll find out soon enough," Tang Tiaotiao said mysteriously. "This is also a surprise that your grandma has prepared for you. Although my older brother has only average talent in the orthodox path of scroll painting, he has explored a completely new path of mechanical scroll painting through his own efforts!"

"A brand new scroll path?" The members of the Mechanical Gym were puzzled.

The Path of Painting Scrolls is the Path of Painting Scrolls; why distinguish between orthodox and unorthodox?

Aren't all scroll paintings created through conceptualization and drawing?
……

On the Thor's Sky Rider arena, the guy opposite him seems to be a member of the main branch of the Tang family.

So when she saw Wu Xian, she felt a little nervous and conflicted.

After all, he was handpicked by the great Sister Jump. If he went too far, it would be inappropriate. But if he went too far, he would inevitably be criticized by outsiders.

"Don't be nervous, just give it your all," Wu Xian said with a light laugh, gesturing for the other person to relax. "Even Sister Tiao might not be able to beat me, so you don't need to worry about anything."

Upon hearing this, the young man from the Tang family was skeptical, but silently controlled the Thunder God Sky Riders to enter a state of combat readiness.

Wu Xian also decisively released the Metal Giant - Talos.

He hasn't been idle these past two days either, pulling Talos up to the seventh star of the Golden Scroll in one go, making him the same level as Thor's Sky Rider.

The moment Talos appeared, he immediately drew everyone's attention.

"Wow, what kind of mechanical scroll is this? It looks a bit tattered!"

"It looks like an old-fashioned robot from the early days of technology."

"This art style is so weird!"

"It has no sense of technology at all, and instead looks like an old relic from the steam age."

"Could this kind of old-fashioned mechanical scroll even have any combat capabilities?"

"I feel like I don't even need Thor's Sky Rider to make a move. I could just go up there with my bare hands and smash him to pieces with one punch."

"It's not that simple. Look closely, this thing even has a blood vessel-like device, it doesn't look like a simple mechanical scroll."

"You know what, there seems to be something there!"

Among the group of scions of prominent families present, Zhang Yao stared at Talos on the stage, and the more he looked, the more uneasy he felt.

It seems that I have vaguely seen similar ideas and descriptions in family succession systems.

Moreover, the aura emanating from that metal giant was somewhat similar to the Zhang family's heritage.

Not only did he notice this, but several elders from the Demon God Dojo on the viewing platform also vaguely sensed something, their brows furrowed and their eyes exchanging glances.
