Chen Qiaoshou deliberately stalled for time, letting Fan Lang suffer a little longer. He had already poured all the knowledge of his life into tampering with the three core hubs, altering how the entire mechanism system operated. He was just about to succeed.
"Victory or defeat will be decided in one stroke!"
Chen Qiaoshou steeled his resolve.
Every second that followed became incomparably long. Chen Qiaoshou gathered his strength, ready to strike, while Fan Lang battled the flames.
Fan Lang's condition grew worse and worse. He had exceeded his limit and could no longer use the fire to temper his body as he had before.

Chen Qiaoshou decided to go all the way. He deliberately sent the Mechanical Puppets that belonged to him into the mechanism passages. He had personally made these puppets, yet had never used them before the world. They were his hidden trump cards, reserved for emergencies.
The Mechanical Puppets came in all shapes and forms: birds, beasts, and
