Chapter 1547: Chapter 497: Reset

Mechanical City.

On the first day, Wen Xishu resolved the mechanical depression and acquired vast wealth. By the second day, he obtained the most powerful body and accomplished the underground fighting feat.

His progress was swift, and everything went smoothly. Wen Xishu was still in the underground fighting competition’s resting room.

From time to time, he performed one-on-one, one-on-two, or one-on-three solo showcases.

The name of the Shadow Warrior resounded throughout the entire mechanical race’s fighting world.

Old Yan finally realized that Wen Xishu might truly hold the power to reform Mechanical City on his own. Until now, every fight Wen Xishu engaged in was won effortlessly.

He didn’t display impressive stats but always appeared extremely calm and composed.

Wen Xishu knew this was Mammon exerting his value, or rather, using him to make money.

He didn’t mind because Mammon also promised him an opportunity for revenge in the shortest time possible.

He was waiting for this opportunity.

This was Wen Xishu’s third day in Mechanical City.

Mammon had already started operating at full capacity, and the name of Shadow Warrior attracted not only the gamblers hoping for the Shadow Warrior to win and lift them out of poverty.

The highly entertaining Shadow Warrior also attracted many nobles.

But in all the competitions, Wen Xishu never let his cloak fall, maintaining his mystery. People could clearly feel that the Shadow Warrior’s physique sometimes changed slightly.

But no one knew what kind of body was under that cloak.

The nobles desired other mechanical race fighters to tear off the cloak and let them see the true form of the Shadow Warrior.

But unfortunately, no one has managed to do so yet.

Wen Xishu was always very mindful of this point.

Because this is crucial.

"Your cloak looks cheap, but it’s full of ingenuity, like those undergarments in anime that are sturdier than the protagonist."

In many works, when the strong face off, the world collapses, and the paths fall, yet the clothes between the two remain intact. This, of course, feels incongruous.

But Wen Xishu’s cloak now had such an effect.

When the cloak suffered damage, it would self-repair instantly, even if it couldn’t be repaired in the short term, it would create some visual deception, keeping Wen Xishu always cloaked.

"This is good, Shadow Warrior, next, I will operate you fully, and recommend you like Zeroer Asdoku, the Timekeeper, and the Dreamweaver. But in the end, I will let the Zeroer have you."

"I’ll also have the Zeroer go to the VIP lounge. There, you’ll have the chance to assassinate."

"If you win, if you defeat one of the Four Emperors, the Zeroer, I’ll be very pleased, and I won’t hide from you, I long for my business to expand beyond Mechanical City, but the Zeroer blocks my path."

"If he dies, I might even recommend you as the new Four Emperor."

"All this on the premise that you cannot expose your true appearance, especially in front of the public."

"If the Zeroer dies, for the outside world, you will also die. Do you understand? But no one has seen your appearance, and you will come back with a new identity."

"Anyway, who would possibly know all this?"

The plan was simple and direct. In a highly information-developed Mechanical City, such a simple plan seemed a bit reckless.

But on the other hand, the simpler the plan, the fewer the loopholes.

Indeed, now, only Daedalus and Old Yan knew Wen Xishu’s appearance, but they were on his side.

Wen Xishu accepted this plan.

The preliminary task of this plan was to continually complete challenges and make a name for himself thoroughly.

And in this process, he couldn’t allow himself to be exposed.

It must be said, Old Yan indeed provided divine assistance, this cloak, which Old Yan initially created for covert operations.

As the leader of the Rusted Ones, what Old Yan could accomplish was actually quite limited. He could almost only wait passively for a Savior to appear.

But he did everything he could for Wen Xishu, providing direction and the help within his capacity.

The fighting competition scene.

Wen Xishu used the Pisces’ timeline rehearsal to easily defeat the Ninja Owl, with sixteen wins and capable of instant teleportation.

By this time, Wen Xishu had won seven consecutive matches.

Unlike other victories, Wen Xishu’s victories often involved one-against-many.

The entire underground mechanical fighting competition auditorium was packed.

The usually expensive VIP section was also full of nobility, and even the aisles in the audience area had people willing to pay to stand and watch the matches.

And in the row after row of carriages in the players’ resting area, no one wanted to face off against the Shadow Warrior.

In the eyes of all mechanical bodies, the Shadow Warrior seemed to have only two strong points, one being his powerful leg strength. The other was a mysterious shadow that could appear anywhere in the ring.

Apart from that, it seemed there were no other mechanisms.

Yet, the Shadow Warrior remained undefeatable. And in each match, he seemed to understand his opponent’s strategy easily, winning with ease and grace.

On the third nightfall.

Wen Xishu’s victories totaled fourteen.

Winning fourteen consecutive matches in a day, defeating over forty mechanical bodies, and his cloak remained intact.

The Shadow Warrior had ceased to be just the Shadow Warrior and was now called the "Shadow Emperor."

Of course, this was Mammon’s doing, the word "Emperor" is not a title any ordinary body could bear.

But as more people chanted it, the audience also acknowledged Wen Xishu, they didn’t fear flattering or ruining him, mainly because—
