Heaven, Earth, Me-Chapter 1165. Andrea’s Second and Third Competition.
Andrea placed the armor on the mannequin provided by the judges and smiled happily. She had not expected to succeed the first time. When she started with this armor, she was planning on using the remaining time of the competition once she failed to create the real project. Taking into account that they had almost a month, she guessed that even if she failed, things wouldn’t go too badly.
To her surprise, she succeeded. Moreover, the final result had reached Transcendence. Usually, the girls didn’t really dare attempt to create Transcendence Ranked items because they didn’t want to waste materials. Of course, they had practiced in the past and failed many times. This was the origin of their reluctance to practice it.
After everyone got their Transcendence Ranked armor and weapons during the Sun God’s inheritance trial, the girls didn’t feel any rush in crafting new ones. After all, they didn’t have the ability to create something better than those items they got. It would be impossible to create something better or more suitable before then.
The evaluation was similar to the tailoring competition but slightly different. They had numbers 1 to 13, the number of blacksmith participants, and the people had to be evaluated from 1 to 13, with 1 being the best and 13 the worst.
After discussing it for a few moments, they decided to start the evaluation from Andrea. “Participant Andrea, we are eager to listen to the details of your armor. To be fair, we will ask you to describe it since your methods are too different from ours. Don’t hold back, and if we have any questions, I would be grateful if you could answer them.”
Andrea was not expecting this, but she didn’t mind at all. She first cupped her fists in respect. “Lord and Lady Judges need not worry. I will try to answer as best as I can. However, I hope the judges can understand that some things need to be kept a trade secret. Still, as long as it is not something that will affect me personally, I am willing to share it.”
The judges nodded. Her words were sensible and logical. With that reassurance, Andrea smiled and spoke softly. “Before I start explaining, I would love if someone with light and darkness element affinity could step forward. Of course, if there are none, that’s not a problem. After all, such a combination is hard to encounter throughout Heaven and Earth.”
Andrea looked around the place. Surprisingly, three people stepped forward. They were a Unification Realm and two Dantian Spiritualization Realm cultivators.
They had not originally attended the competition. However, when their families and friends informed them about Andrea working to create a Light and Darkness-attributed armor, the three of them rushed over. They used their connections to enter the competition venue.
When they looked at the [Light And Darkness Vortex Armor], their eyes were filled with greed and expectation. They had never seen such an item that fit them so perfectly. Moreover, it was a Transcendence Ranked armor! If they got their hands on it, their power would skyrocket.
Andrea glanced over and smiled. “I didn’t expect there to be three people with such a unique attribute set. Please use the attribute affinity stone to check if you match the attributes. Then, the judges can decide on who will test the armor.”
Andrea didn’t want any trouble, so she kicked the ball to the judges without a single moment of hesitation. The judges felt their eyebrows twitching. ‘This girl is too shameless!’
Sensing their gazes, Andrea blinked innocently at them. Her handsome face, showing such an attractive expression, made the judges decide to forgive her. ‘Sigh, whatever, whatever.’
The process didn’t last long, and after half an hour and several discussions, the Unification Realm cultivator managed to win! The judges chose him because of his surname! He was a member of the Lei clan, one of the four Ancient Families.
While the other two didn’t want to give in, when a few Sixth Realm masters on the stands glared at them, they had no other option other than to take a step back.
Once the young and handsome man approached, he smiled respectfully at Andrea and cupped his fists. “Lady Andrea’s masterful capabilities have left this little one in awe. Please guide me on how to put on this masterpiece.”
Andrea smiled faintly. “Not a problem, Young Master Lei. Please, stay still.”
Young Master Lei nodded eagerly and then saw Andrea wave her hand. The armor actually turned into a ball of liquid and surrounded his body, leaving the onlookers speechless.
Andrea explained. “The armor is crafted so that anyone from any race, including beasts, can wear it. Even if it is a dragon, horse, spirit, human, demon, or divine, this armor can mold to the wearers physique and function as normal. It won’t bring out new benefits depending on the race, but since all races have differences, the effects may vary.”
After the armor surrounded the handsome Young Master Lei, many women at the stands couldn’t help but blush and scream. “Young Master Lei, you are so handsome!”
“Young Master Lei, take me as a concubine!”
“I love you, Young Master Lei!”
The young man’s lips unconsciously raised, showing an extremely pleased expression. Andrea commented. “This armor can use three different skills, depending on how strong the user is. The weakest one is [Light Darkness Vortex]. It can create a wide domain-like effect where the Darkness and Light attributed abilities of the user are strengthened. The strength bonus is twofold…”
Andrea’s explanation went on for a long time, leaving everyone quite speechless at the armor's capabilities.

When Andrea finished explaining, Young Master Lei was slightly flushed and sweating. He had tried to use the armor’s high-level skills, exhausting himself completely. Andrea waved her hand, and the armor left Young Master Lei’s body, returning to the mannequin. “This is all, Lord and Lady Judges, I hope nothing remains unanswered.”
The judges had asked many things during this time, especially about Andrea’s material handling. Andrea answered without adding too much detail, nor did she answer superficially. She shared the information needed but nothing beyond that.
Even then, the judges wished they could continue listening to Andrea’s words. Even they had some gains from the conversation.
The judges voted right after very confidently.
2, 1, 3, 4, 1
Four of the other judges looked at the 4 of the fourth judge with strange looks. That one person looked slightly awkward. ‘I want to give her a 1, but if I do so, the Mo family might chop me to pieces! Even then, scoring lower than this will tell everyone that I am bought out… If they discover me, I am done for.’
The competition continued, and eventually, Andrea ranked 2nd, with Shang Huang ranking first. Her armor was a powerful Wind-attributed armor that completely outclassed Andrea’s armor in terms of quality. Of course, if the judge that gave Andrea four points would’ve given her a 3 or a 2, Andrea would’ve won. Sadly, that one-point difference was enough for Andrea to lose the second part.
Andrea didn’t find it too problematic. ‘As long as I satisfy my customer and rank first, I should be able to win.’
She really wanted the Dragon Cores, so she was going all out.
On the stands, Ancestor Long and the others had strange expressions. ‘If she had participated in the competition according to her age, she would’ve broken so many records that people would’ve probably cried.’
Meanwhile, Yasenia looked at the fourth judge with squinted eyes. She was feeling conflicted at the moment. She was happy that her Darling was showing off and was the center of attention. However, she was also jealous that so many bees and butterflies were trying to linger around her Darling! Once she returned to the stands, Yasenia was going to kiss Andrea stupid so that everyone knew whose she was!
With a bit of anger, Yasenia summoned food and started chomping on it. They were soft puff pastries with melted chocolate inside. Tatyana, Kali, and Evelyn glanced at Yasenia confusedly. Dear asked her. “Love, why have you been eating so much recently?”
Yasenia blinked a few times and looked at them with an adorably confused expression and puffed-up cheeks from eating. “I ahm nhot eating thoo mush!”
The girls burst into laughter, and Kali patted Yasenia’s back. “Eat first, talk later.”
Yasenia munched quickly like a hamster and swallowed shortly after. After licking her seductive lips, she commented again. “As I was saying, I am not eating too much.”
Tatyana raised her eyebrow. “Oh? Tell me, how many times have you eaten today?”
Yasenia started counting with her fingers, and she soon ran out of fingers to count. A small blush appeared on her face. “I… I am bored, and therefore, I ate a lot!” She pouted cutely. “Do you have a problem with me eating? I won’t get fat either!”
Evelyn chuckled and asked. “I see… So, why are you so eager on fixing the bed before going to sleep? This was not something that you did in the past.”
Yasenia tilted her head, not understanding why she was asking about this. “Well… I just felt like so. I want to be comfortable and well tucked at night.”
Then, she gave another gentle bite to the food. Still, her cheeks gained a gentle red color since now she was conscious of it. Seeing their dear dragoness wanting to devour the pastry but trying to hold back, the girls almost died of cuteness overload. ‘Why is our usually seductive and confident dragoness emanating so much gentle feminine charm lately!? She is too cute!’
Evelyn took out a table and waved her hand, filling it with desserts Yasenia loved to eat. “Come, come. I’ll give you as much food as you want!”
Yasenia sat adorably, being extra obedient. Evelyn’s cheeks blushed. ‘Ugh, she is too precious!’
Kali, Tatyana, and Evelyn then started pampering their dragoness, making her tail wag happily.
Meanwhile, Andrea had already met with her client and was working on the customer’s order. What she was asked to make was a weapon of the lightning and wind elements. The combination could be said to be complicated but nothing too outrageous.
After speaking closely with the client, Andrea was surprised that the person wanted tonfas. That kind of weapon was extremely rare and unusual, and not many people used it. However, they had a lot of potential in battle.
Since tonfas were two weapons, one for each hand, Andrea chose to create one made for Lightning Attribute and another for Wind. Their combination could be done through the spiritual means of the Lost Town, creating both powerful single weapons without losing in their combination.
The craftsmanship was as good as the other two times, and when she finished, the client almost rushed to snatch both weapons and try them out.
