Chapter 1093: Crazy Modifications

Tang Hao tried his best to dodge the incoming asteroids.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Asteroids flew past him, and a few of them nearly brushed past his platform. That made Tang Hao break out in a cold sweat.

“That was close!”

He muttered and looked behind him. Many platforms had been hit.

A silver or gold platform could withstand a single hit from an asteroid. However, bronze platforms would almost always shatter.

After flying for a while more, another asteroid swarm came.

Tang Hao tensed up again and tried his best to dodge.

With his cultivation base and strengthened soul, he had no problem maneuvering the platform. He managed to emerge unscathed after encountering several swarms, but others were not so lucky. Many people kept falling down.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Another meteor shower came. Tang Hao began to dodge.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several people could not dodge in time. Their platforms were destroyed, and they fell.

Whoos.h.!.+

Amidst the swarm of asteroids, a particularly big one was heading toward Tang Hao. Tang Hao was startled, and he quickly dodged to the left. The asteroid brushed past his shoulder and crashed into the platform of the person behind Tang Hao.

Bang!

The platform instantly exploded, but the asteroid also split open. He could see a golden light leaking out from within.

Tang Hao was surprised by the golden light.

That was clearly the l.u.s.ter of metal!

Could it be that the asteroids had metal inside?

He carefully looked around and confirmed that idea.

After dodging that wave of asteroids, he began to ponder. Since the three types of platforms had the same speed, the trial was about luck and control.

The old man also said that there were many ways to gain an edge in the trial. Could the asteroids be one of them?

With that thought in mind, he lowered his head and looked at the platform under his feet.

He had not studied it properly before. Now that he studied it carefully, he found that the structure of the platform was quite simple. There was only a flight talisman formation inside.

The talisman formation was quite advanced, but to him, it was nothing.

“Can I craft a new platform?”

A bold idea suddenly appeared in Tang Hao’s mind.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. The old man only said that they could not fight, but he did not say anything about modifying the platform.

When he thought about the asteroids again, Tang Hao felt even more confident. Perhaps that was indeed one of the ways.

He made preparations for the next wave of asteroids.

A moment later, there was a commotion in front of him. The asteroids had arrived.

This time, Tang Hao did not dodge. Instead, he charged toward the asteroids head-on.

Whoos.h.!.+ An asteroid the size of a millstone flew toward him at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.

“Is he crazy?”

The people around him cried in surprise when they saw that he did not dodge.

However, they did not have the time to pay attention to that guy. They were busy dodging the asteroids.

Soon, the asteroid arrived in front of Tang Hao. He took a deep breath, planted his feet to the platform, and stretched his arms.

Bang!

The asteroid hit his chest.

His body trembled, and he steadied himself. However, the bronze platform under his feet could not withstand the impact and cracked slightly.

Tang Hao lowered his head and looked. He was shocked.

“I’ll have to quickly gather the materials and craft another one.”

Tang Hao’s eyes scanned the area. He saw another asteroid and went up to it.

After grabbing that asteroid, another crack appeared on the bronze platform under his feet.

He grabbed five asteroids in total. The platform had been severely damaged, and its speed had decreased.

By then, he had already gone past the asteroid swarm. Tang Hao sat down cross-legged, took out the asteroids, and smashed them into pieces. The black outer layer shattered, revealing golden metal inside.

He splayed his palm, summoned a ball of elemental fire, and began to smelt the metal.

In a short while, he crafted a golden platform.

Tang Hao jumped onto the platform. He immediately felt like he had received a huge power boost.

“You can do that?”

The people around him were dumbstruck.

They had been paying attention to that guy since just now. When they saw him using the materials from the asteroids to craft a brand new golden platform, they were all dumbstruck.

Following that, they immediately knew what to do.

That was a secret!

The asteroids were a danger, but they could also be an opportunity.

They became excited and prepared to grab the asteroids and craft a platform for themselves. Those who did not know crafting techniques were depressed. Even if they could grab the asteroids, they would not be able to craft a new platform.

They discussed with the others for a chance at cooperation.

When the next wave of asteroids arrived, everyone did not dodge. Instead, they charged at the asteroids head-on.

Some did not manage to hold onto the asteroids and were knocked off their platforms. Some could not manage to deflect the momentum of the asteroids, which caused their platforms to break.

However, many people managed to grab some asteroids. After going past the wave of asteroids, they began to craft new platforms.

Tang Hao could only manage to grab five asteroids because his bronze platform was fragile. Now that he had a golden one, he managed to grab more than twenty in this wave.

He sat down and began to craft again.

This time, he did not craft a platform. Instead, he made a golden s.h.i.+p with complicated talismanic runes in it.

He boarded the s.h.i.+p, melted down the platform from before, and added it to the s.h.i.+p’s hull.

When he activated the formation, the small s.h.i.+p shot out like a wild horse. It was several times faster than the platform.

“d.a.m.n! So fast!”

The others were still trying their best to craft their vehicles. Some were working alone, while some were working in groups of three or four. The vehicles they crafted were in different shapes, such as platforms, s.h.i.+ps, or even gourds.

Not long after, those people sat in their new flying vehicles and followed Tang Hao.

The vehicles were s.h.i.+ning with golden light, and their speed was as fast as lightning.

They eventually overtook the people in front of them. When those on bronze platforms saw those vehicles, they could not help but exclaim in surprise.

“d.a.m.n! What’s that?”

“Where did they get that?”

The people in the vehicles felt smug about themselves when they heard those exclamations. They continued to speed forward and overtook many other people.

The people at the front turned around to see and were also dumbstruck.

They soon came to their senses and began to grab asteroids to craft new vehicles. Soon, all sorts of flying vehicles appeared and began to race one another.

Tang Hao kept collecting asteroids. After strengthening the hull of his s.h.i.+p, he began to ama.s.s the asteroids.

The metal within was a high-grade spiritual material. It would be a waste not to take them.

His vehicle was the fastest, and he continued to overtake the people in front of him. Soon, he caught up with Ji Wu, who was in the first place. They were neck and neck.

Ji Wu’s expression changed when he saw the s.h.i.+p.

“Who’s that guy? Why is his s.h.i.+p so fast?”

The people behind them were trying to catch up, but they could not do so no matter how hard they tried. They were extremely frustrated.

At the front, Tang Hao and Ji Wu were chasing each other. They rammed their vehicles at each other and fought for first place. After a few rounds, Tang Hao finally surpa.s.sed Ji Wu.

Before he could be comfortable in his new position, he heard a burst of laughter behind him.

“Hahaha! The first place is ours!”

Tang Hao turned around and saw a large s.h.i.+p chasing after him at high speed. It was heading straight for his small s.h.i.+p.
