Han Sen thought he would have a few days free to himself, but soon after he finished his lectures, he was summoned by the elders . There, he was tasked with leading a team to a newly discovered xenogeneic space . He was instructed to explore the space, and if possible, return with resources and materials .
Because the xenogeneic space only allowed Marquises to enter, Lone Bamboo had been intended to lead the task force there . But right now, he was training inside Hidden Path Cave . As a result, the elders saw fit to pass the job on to Han Sen . Han Sen was given a basic description of the xenogeneic space, which was called Metal World . This was, however, only a temporary name for the location . He did learn that more than one faction had already discovered it, though . Other teams were already there, researching the place . Sky Palace was a step behind .
Based on what he was told, there were groups from the Dragon, Demon, Destroyed, and even the Buddha there . They were all in the Metal World, and now that Sky Palace had joined the exploration, the situation was sure to become quite complex .
Han Sen did not have much time to prepare before being shipped off, as he was led by a Sky Palace elder . He was accompanied by one hundred Sky Palace Marquise students, as well .
The trip to Metal World had been organized by the elders . The Marquises had been instructed to follow Han Sen’s commands after they entered Metal World, so their lives were pretty much in his hands .
Although Han Sen was just an Earl, Sky Palace’s authority was well-respected among its members . And Han Sen’s own reputation was mighty . No one objected to Han Sen’s position as their leader .
Before entering Metal World, the elder provided Han Sen with a bounty of information about the Marquise students he was set to lead . A few of them had been marked, as they had unique powers that would be crucial for the trip ahead .

Han Sen led the one hundred Sky Palace Marquises to Metal World . That xenogeneic space was a planet, and a strange power radiated from it . That power forbade the entry of any creature or being that was above the Marquise level .
The scariest thing about all this was that the planet had a very special magnetic property . Metal objects would be sucked into the planet, so tools made of metal were unusable in the planet’s vicinity . Due to this, airships could not come close to the planet .
When the planet was viewed from the exterior, it seemed to be entirely shrouded in wild magnetic storms . The whole planet was cloaked in a swirl of thunderclouds . When Han Sen and the others pierced through the clouds, a most colorful planet came into sight .
When they got close enough to see it all, however, they swiftly understood why the place had been given the title of Metal World . The mountains and plains there were all metal .
Seeing topographical features made of metal was a little odd, but the really strange thing was the metallic nature of all the animals and plants . Everything on the planet’s surface was metal, and it was a very surreal thing to lay eyes on .
“Brother Yuya, where are we to begin our search?” Han Sen asked politely, looking at the Marquise student .
Yuya was a highly-regarded Marquise of Sky Palace . Second only to Lone Bamboo, he was certainly the strongest of Han Sen’s companions . He was always at the forefront of exploring new xenogeneic spaces for Sky Palace, as well . He had a lot of experience with these sorts of endeavors .

Yuya looked over the planet’s surface, then spoke to Han Sen . “We don’t know where the other races have set up operations, but they are sure to have seen us as we came in . So, exploring the planet is not our primary objective . Finding those other races or finding a safe zone to establish a place of respite should be our first priority . ”
“Brother Yuya, you are correct! I was being reckless . Where should we camp? What do you think would be the safest place for us?” Han Sen asked .
Seeing that Han Sen was really interested in the opinions of others, Yuya pointed out a Marquise to Han Sen . “You might want to ask Brother Yunyi . He is good at this sort of thing . ”
“Brother Yunyi, please . ” Han Sen knew these matters should be handled by the professionals . Sky Palace might have sent him there to lead, but leading meant using his forces effectively, not doing everything himself like some kind of hero . It was his job to learn his team’s strengths and put them to good use .
There were so many unknown factors about Metal World . He’d be able to escape if he ran into trouble, but he couldn’t go back with one hundred Marquises dead . And the other factions would be dangerous . They could have certainly established traps and ambushes . The enemy had been there for a while, and they had been given the opportunity to learn about the xenogeneic space . They might use their headstart to trick Han Sen’s party .
As Han Sen’s team set to work, he quickly learned that there were many geniuses in Sky Palace . They were so good at everything, and they were quick to establish a camp on Metal World and start exploring the surrounding area . They also built an alarm system and emergency contingencies for all sorts of situations .
But what surprised Han Sen the most was his team’s dedication . They researched and cataloged everything within a hundred miles . Aside from a few metal animals and plants, however, there was no sign of xenogeneics . They didn’t see any of the Marquises sent by the other races, either .

There was no day and night cycle on the planet, and the environment wasn’t very friendly to life . But the Sky Palace team were all Marquises, so a poor environment would not bring them down .
The magnetic storms in the sky continued to rage . Blue lightning flashed through the sky continuously, lighting up the planet’s surface better than a normal sun .
Han Sen, Yuya, and the other Marquises were talking about expanding their exploration when the magnetic storm suddenly changed color . The blue magnetic storm turned a beautiful shade of pink .
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
Suddenly, a loud noise began to ring in their ears . The metal forest nearby began to shake like it was suffering an earthquake .
Not long after, a ten-meter-tall metal rhino appeared out of the metal forest, and it was not alone . Many more followed after, and before long, a thousand of them had come storming out of the trees . They were headed to a nearby river that looked like mercury .
Han Sen was happy he had listened to Yunyi and avoided setting up camp near the river . If they had, the rhinos could have stampeded right over them .
Those metal rhinos looked powerful . The team couldn’t determine how strong the creatures were, but in that unknown land, fighting them did not seem like a bright idea .
Yunyi was looking at the metal rhinos when he said, “They are like living hunks of metal . Judging by their lifeforce, I can estimate that they are at least Marquise in strength . I don’t know if they are xenogeneics, but they don’t seem to be too smart . ”
“Weird . We didn’t catch sight of them in any of our explorations . Where did they come from?” White Real, who had also come on the trip, frowned in confusion .
