At the far east region of Blazing Sun Desert, Yan Fang and Michael stood side by side as they watched Qian Du standing close to the ruined buildings of Zelar City.
"If he succeeds, it would really be a massive boost for us, architects, and for the city."
Michael said in anticipation of Qian Du's action.
"It will revolutionise the entire architectural framework in the High Continent."
Yan Fang said with certainty.
Placing his hand on the destroyed city wall, Qian Du took a deep breath before activating his self created skill.
!!
The damaged wall began disintegrating before transforming into sand, stones, woods, metals and other materials.
"I did it!"
The third highest tiered architect shouted excitedly as he leaped into the air.
"Congratulations, Qian Du."
Yan Fang came beside Qian Du as he congratulated him.
"Congratulations, Sir Du."
Following alongside Yan Fang, Michael also congratulated the Extraordinary-tier elementary grade architect.
"Thank you."
Qian Du smiled as he received the compliments from his colleagues.
Turning back to the damaged city, he continued disintegrating them into their base materials - saving cost for the city.

"Tsk! It's been a while since I came across bandits."
Zhang Xiang said while gazing down on a camp filled with makeshift tents.
"The majority of those on this list are all here."
The martial artists in Zhang Xiang's group said as he looked at the scroll in his hand.
"You all should deal with them, I'll protect the targets."
Zhang Xiang said as the tattoo on his forehead glowed, materialising a dragon around him.
Aside from Monica's and Dax's team, the other groups encountered bandits during their rescue operations.
But, with their special-tier, kingdom-tier, and empire-tier skills, as well as their Yellow gold-tier strength level, at least for the most of them, they were able to eliminate the bandits and save those under their captivity.
"To the rendezvous point."
Zhang Xiang said after picking up the targets on his lists.
.
In the office of the vice city lord of Blazing Sun City, Luca sat opposite Hui Teng.
"The preparations for the speedboat competition are complete. We can begin immediately."
The leader of the Sunharbor Guild reported the progress of the shipbuilders.
"Then, we'll begin a week from now."
Choosing to commence the competition after the battlefield lord event, Hui Teng said to Luca.
"Alright."
Having no objection, Luca acknowledged.

Outside the walls of Blazing Sun City
"We've finally arrived. The city that will make us filthy rich, Blazing Sun City."
Riding at the front of her caravan, Sheila said as she stared at the golden dome in front of her.
"I hope we find a good place to rest. After facing numerous dangers on the way, my men deserve a good rest."
The leader of the mercenary in charge of the caravan's security said beside Sheila.
"There should be a nice inn or hotel in the city."
Sheila said as they rode towards the golden dome through the paved road connected to the desert sand.
"You have a lot of confidence in a city built by a new lord, mother."
A girl of seventeen rode beside Sheila as she spoke.
"Any city that could produce clothes able to cool and warm the body is worthy of respect."
Sheila responded to her daughter with a smile.
"Here we go again."
Nessa sighed as she urged her horse to ride faster in order to avoid the heap of praise her mom was about to unleash on the clothes she got from the Auroran merchant.
However, just as she moved ahead of her mom and the leader of the mercenary, a voice sounded from the golden dome.
"Halt your movements or you will be attacked!"
"Stop moving at once, Nessa!"
Sheila shouted as she stared nervously at her daughter.
Perfectly controlling her horse to stop, Nessa stared straight at the golden dome.
"State your identification and the reason for your arrival!"
The voice sounded once again.
Stopping 100 meters from the golden dome, Sheila shouted as she identified herself and her caravan.
"I am Sheila Mandova, and I'm a merchant from the Kingdom of River Island."
"I'm here to trade with your city."
Behind the dome, the watcher passed the information to the city's administration before returning back to his painting.
In the northern sentry tower, Lu Sheng's disciple aimed the Extraordinary-tier laser cannon at Nessa.
"This is the first time someone from a kingdom outside the Aurora Kingdom has come to the city for a trade."
Caitlyn muttered as she rode a sunstrider towards the caravan outside the city.
Arriving before Sheila and her caravan, she got down from her sunstrider as she introduced herself.
"I'm Caitlyn, an assistant to the vice city lord of Blazing Sun City. It's nice to have you in the city."
"It's my honour."
Sheila said with a smile.
However, she was shocked at the strength level of Caitlyn.
The same could be said about Sean, the leader of the mercenary in charge of Sheila and her caravan's safety.
'She actually has a strength level at Diamond-tier.'
He thought as he stared at Caitlyn.
