The Metal Puppet had now been more than half dismantled, with countless components scattered about. Golden threads of light and runes flickered inside it, releasing waves of vast, astonishing power...
The combat aura this Metal Puppet emitted had been enough to make even Li Xiaoya's heart tremble. That impression remained vivid-it had only happened a few days ago, so he certainly had not forgotten. Yet now Second Better had taken it apart and laid it out in this Main Hall...
"Second Better! Did you actually refine this puppet yourself?" Li Xiaoya sucked in a cold breath and hurriedly asked. If Second Better could truly refine puppets of this caliber, he would have to get a few, whatever it took. These were no ordinary puppets; there were far too many ways they could help him... Then another thought struck him. Wait... if Second Better made it, why had it appeared in that divine artifact Treasure Pavilion?
Sure enough...
"Ah! I didn't make this!" Second Better promptly replied, then paused before explaining, "I borrowed it from the Immortal Sovereign to study...!"
"Oh! I see. The Immortal Race really does treat you well, Second Better. They even let you borrow a puppet of this caliber to take apart...!" Li Xiaoya remarked with feeling.
"Mm! The Immortal Race really deserves its reputation as a super race. I never should have turned them down back then, or I wouldn't have ended up in that state...!" As he spoke, Second Better had already brought out the Swordlight Flying Boat. Its entire surface was still uneven, clearly not yet fully self-repaired... He spoke to Li Xiaoya quite casually...
