At this moment, City of Time was holding a grand dance. Countless robots sang and danced in the square.

Only Xiao Zhen sat silently to one side, eating biscuits he had brought from the Dou Qi Continent.

Strangely enough, ever since Xiao Zhen had arrived in this world, he had never felt hungry. He had no idea why.

After asking the system, Xiao Zhen learned that Mecha Kings did not need to eat in the Mecha Beast World. It was also a form of protection built into the world.

After all, human food could not be found anywhere in the Mecha Beast World. Without this mechanism, Mecha Kings who came to this world would not survive more than a few days before starving to death.

At that moment, Hot Wheels bounced over, patted Xiao Zhen on the shoulder, and said excitedly, "Xiao Zhen, why are you sitting here alone munching on biscuits? Come dance with everyone."

Xiao Zhen looked at the excited Hot Wheels and said rather speechlessly, "Hot Wheels, I have three things to say.

"First, I can't dance.

"Second, I'm bored right now. Other than eating biscuits, I can't find anything else to do.

"Third, there are still so many Black Iron Beasts outside the city. We only drove the enemy back temporarily, yet everyone is already singing and dancing here. Aren't you afraid the Black Iron Beast army outside will charge in right now?"

Hot Wheels slapped Xiao Zhen on the shoulder and said confidently, "What's there to fear? The bridge has already been cut down by Blaze. If Golden Iron Beast wants to charge in, all Blaze or Vanguard has to do is guard the gate. Whoever dares jump over gets chopped into the river. Isn't that what you said?"

Xiao Zhen rubbed his forehead. He had indeed said that, but he had merely recalled the strategy Luoluo had used in the animation.

In truth, this method was not foolproof. Xiao Zhen was only taking a gamble. If Golden Iron Beast had any sense, he only needed to order the main force to keep firing at the city gate. Who would dare stand guard there then?

Under such concentrated firepower, even Wild Star, with his thick armor, would sooner or later be blasted flat.

Xiao Zhen looked at Vanguard and Blaze dancing in the square, and an idea came to him.

With Vanguard's help, Blaze had already reached level ten. He was only two levels below Vanguard now. For some reason, Blaze seemed to level up especially quickly.

If the two of them trained in a Combined Ultimate Technique now, they might succeed. As long as they mastered a Combined Ultimate Technique, let alone a mere Golden Iron Beast, even Tiger King would have to leave his life behind if he came.

Thus, over the following days, Blaze and Vanguard began training in the Combined Ultimate Technique under Xiao Zhen's guidance.

Xiao Zhen did not know much himself. He only knew to have them use their ultimate moves in alternation. Since that was how it looked in the animation, it should work.

Hadn't Powerhouse and Shockwave figured out a Combined Ultimate Technique on their own even without Luoluo's guidance?

So, during the days that followed, Vanguard and Blaze kept training their coordination.

However, because Vanguard was much higher-leveled, he always ended up moving a step faster than Blaze by accident, making it impossible for them to unleash the Combined Ultimate Technique.

Xiao Zhen grew anxious as well. He did not know whether the two could successfully master the Combined Ultimate Technique before Golden Iron Beast recovered from his injuries.

Meanwhile, in the Black Iron Beast camp outside the city, Golden Iron Beast was tending to his wounds.

It was Blue Iron Beast's first time seeing his general in such a bedraggled state. He said with some difficulty, "General, how about Purple Iron Beast and I lead the troops in an attack on the city and teach them a proper lesson?"

Purple Iron Beast stepped forward and agreed. "That's right, General. Let us give it a try. With our army of one hundred thousand, we might really be able to capture City of Time."

Golden Iron Beast shook his head and sighed. "No. The drawbridge has already been destroyed. If we try to jump across, we will likely be cut straight into the moat.

"If the army forces an attack now, our losses will definitely be severe. Go prepare the engineering vehicles immediately. I will use this time to recover properly, and once everything is ready, we'll settle the score with them."

Meanwhile, the group from Moon Temple had finally arrived at Energy City.

The robots in this city were basically modeled after helicopters. Their weapons were the rotors on their backs, which could be split into two and used as twin blades.

Energy City had extremely high defenses and a powerful missile system, but its only weakness was also its City Defense Token. With the City Defense Token, capturing the city would become much easier.

Energy City's helicopter warriors were all powerful fighters, ranked among the best in the Motorcycle Clan in terms of combat strength.

At that moment, a purple helicopter flew down from the floating stairway overhead. After landing, it transformed into a mighty helicopter warrior.

The warrior drew the two blades from his back and watched City Lord Huang vigilantly. (Note: The Moon Temple City Lord had no name. He did have one in The Adventures of Wukong, but after some consideration, the author decided to refer to him anonymously by his original color. Later, the City Lord of City of Time would be called City Lord Bai.)

The purple helicopter warrior asked, "Who are you people? What do you want from our Energy City?"

The Purple Guard Warrior watched the group warily. Because of the legend of the Energy Amethyst, Energy City was often targeted by the Fierce Beast Clan.

Although these people appeared to be members of the Motorcycle Clan, one could never be too careful. He still had to question them vigilantly.

The large group before him was carrying bags and bundles, and they did not look like they had come to attack. That was why the Purple Guard Warrior dared to ask them with some ease.

City Lord Huang comforted the Moon Temple group behind him before saying seriously, "We are from Moon Temple. May I meet your City Lord?"

After considering it, the Purple Guard Warrior nodded. However, he added, "Meeting our City Lord is not a problem, but only you may come. Everyone else must wait outside the city."

Just as City Lord Huang was about to nod, the Purple Guard Warrior behind him said worriedly, "City Lord, will it be dangerous for you to go in alone?"

Before City Lord Huang could speak, the Purple Guard Warrior beside him was already displeased. If it were not for the fact that everyone was a purple Motorcycle Clan warrior, he would have attacked already. How dare they question the character of Energy City's warriors?

City Lord Huang scolded him, "Don't speak nonsense. We are guests. How can we casually suspect the hosts here?"

Afterward, City Lord Huang followed the Purple Guard Warrior into Energy City.

Along the way, City Lord Huang saw many Energy City warriors. Though he lacked the scouting abilities of a Mecha King, his experienced eye could tell that their average level was nearly one level higher than the warriors of Moon Temple.

City Lord Huang could not help but sigh. Energy City truly deserved to be called the greatest city of the Motorcycle Clan. If Moon Temple had possessed strength like Energy City's, how could they have been forced to leave their homeland?

Soon, City Lord Huang met Lightning City Lord. What the two discussed was unknown to outsiders.

However, not long afterward, Lightning City Lord ordered his subordinates to bring the tens of thousands of Moon Temple warriors outside into the city and prepare high-quality energy for them to relieve the fatigue of their long journey.

Once they learned that Energy City was willing to take them in, everyone from Moon Temple was overjoyed. As long as they entered the sturdy Energy City, their lives would be protected. They would no longer have to worry about Tiger King posing any threat to them.

Yet among the Moon Temple police car warriors were two figures who stood out distinctly. They were two bulldozer-type warriors.

The two were brothers. During the Moon Temple army's retreat, they had been saved by City Lord Huang. At the time, they were being besieged by several Black Panther Beasts, and City Lord Huang had rescued them in passing.

It was said that they were members of some Strongman Family, and their combat strength was not weak either. Especially the older brother—his strength was astonishing, and he had an imposing name: Powerhouse.
