Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Following Siyu, Ning Tianchen and his group first went up to the third floor of the Blacksmith Association.

Today is the Blacksmith Association's assessment day for this month.

Blacksmiths of different ages gather here to take assessments of their blacksmithing levels.

Siyu smiled and introduced herself to everyone: "Originally, I was also a judge for today's assessment. However, I don't really like staying in crowded places."

"If you want to know about the blacksmith's assessment, I can take you to have a look."

Ning Rongrong smiled and replied, "No need. We are not blacksmiths and don't know much about this."

"That's true." Siyu responded and said no more.

After reaching the fourth floor, Siyu did not plan to take everyone to the fifth floor.

After all, he was not familiar with Ning Tianchen and others, and it was inevitably inappropriate to bring outsiders to the core area of ​​the Blacksmith Association.

Just as he was about to speak, Ning Tianchen took the lead and said, "Master Siyu, I happen to have a few design drawings in my hand. Can you take a look at them?"

"Don't worry, it will definitely subvert your cognition."

As he spoke, he took out a hidden weapon blueprint from his soul guide and flashed it in front of the other party.

"This"

With just one glance, Siyu noticed the subtlety of the blueprint. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Come with me."

It wasn't really a violation of the rules just to bring the guests to his forging room.

Between the fourth and fifth floors, there is only a heavy metal door blocking the stairs.

Siyu walked to the door and raised her hand to knock on it gently.

It can be seen that the strength used by his palms kept changing when he was tapping.

As a result, it is difficult to replicate his tapping style even if you observe carefully.

After thirty-six knocks, the heavy metal door slowly opened.

Going up to the fifth floor, the decoration here is completely different from the floors below, and what comes into view is a long dim corridor.

There are forging rooms with different numbers on both sides, and the sound of forging metal can be heard from time to time.

Siyu introduced: "This is the core of the Blacksmith Association. No one is allowed to enter without an invitation."

"Since I have a good relationship with several of the guests, I will make an exception for you."

After saying this, he walked forward on his own, stopped at the forging room numbered "8", and gently pushed open the door.

Under his instructions, Ning Tianchen and others entered.

Siyu's forging room is not big, but it is filled with various forging tools.

The forging furnace placed against the wall on the right still has some residual heat.

"Sir, may I know your design drawings?" Siyu asked impatiently.

Ning Tianchen responded with a smile and took out the blueprints of firearms and hidden weapons from his soul guide.

"These are the two drawings. Master Siyu, please take a look."

Siyu kicked the forging hammer away, then threw the tools on the workbench to the ground, leaving the entire table free, and then spread out the drawings.

With just one glance, Siyu could tell which of the two audit drawings was better.

He pointed at the hidden weapon blueprint and said, "What a wonderful weapon! I can help you forge it for free. Of course, in exchange, I would like to make a copy of the design for you to observe."

Ning Tianchen had to admit that the Tang Sect's hidden weapons could be considered exquisite works of art.

But in terms of power, it is far less powerful than a musket.

"Master Siyu, why don't you take a closer look at the other drawing?" Ning Tianchen reminded.

Siyu waved her hand. "The other blueprint is just a broken round tube. What's so good about it? The only difficult part is the carving of the internal lines. Haha, any senior blacksmith down there can make it. I don't need to look at it."

Ning Tianchen said nothing more, and made a gesture of invitation, "Master Siyu, if you are interested, I can make it now."

The forging room is not big to begin with, and if Ning Tianchen and others were forging metal, they would have no place to stand.

Siyu couldn't wait to forge this hidden weapon, and before starting the furnace, she led everyone to the VIP lounge on the fourth floor.

……

In the lounge, Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to use Master Siyu as a breakthrough point to convince Master Lou Gao?"

Ning Tianchen nodded.

They were not acquainted with Lou Gao, and had no relationship with Titan.

If you directly recruit building managers, the effect will definitely not be ideal.

Not to mention, there was a conflict between the Blacksmith Association and the Spirit Hall some time ago. At this moment, Lou Gao will only be more wary of outsiders.

And Siyu is Lou Gao's disciple. With his assistance, Lou Gao at least will not regard him as an enemy.

Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "Brother Tianchen, if he knew that you used Tang San's hidden weapon blueprint, I wonder what kind of expression would appear on his face?"

Ning Tianchen shrugged nonchalantly, and then said: "The truth is simplicity. Hidden weapons are indeed exquisite, but the more complicated the equipment, the higher the failure rate."

"The Silent Sleeve Arrow blueprint I gave you has already been tested by the sect. If used in a sandy area, it will easily get stuck. And if it falls to the ground, it will easily break the internal parts, causing it to fail to fire."

"If it were really brought to the battlefield, it would be a disaster."

Any weapon that can be called "legendary" must be a simple and reliable weapon.

Just like the bows and crossbows equipped by the mainland army, if they malfunction during use, they can be repaired and restored to combat effectiveness in a very short time.

On the other hand, each hidden weapon is extremely complicated.

If a malfunction occurs on the battlefield, ordinary people will not be able to open the receiver and repair it.

Moreover, each hidden weapon is disposable. If a large-scale war really occurs, it will be difficult for this thing to influence the outcome of the battle.

Not to mention, the production process of hidden weapons is complicated, and the output cannot keep up with the consumption in a short period of time.

"I hope Master Siyu's words can be of some use, otherwise we might have to use Sarath's head as a 'token of surrender'." Ning Tianchen said quietly, leaning back on the sofa.

"Are you really planning to attack Spirit Hall?" Oscar couldn't help but ask.

Ning Tianchen spread his hands. "Since the Blacksmith Association has been recruited by us, they have to leave Gengxin City. How could Miles let them go so easily? No matter what, there will definitely be a conflict."

The best way, of course, is to write a letter to Qian Renxue and ask her to deal with Miles internally.

But there was no time left and they couldn't stay in Gengxin City for too long.

……

About two hours later, Siyu didn't have time to untie her apron. She looked for everyone with sweat all over her forehead, holding the hidden weapon she had just made in her hand.

"It's done." Siyu laughed and said, "It's really an intoxicating work of art. The teacher will definitely be very happy when he sees it."

Ning Tianchen said: "Master Siyu, would you like to measure its power?"

"Yes, yes, since it is a weapon, its power must be tested." Siyu wiped the sweat from her forehead and waved, "Follow me, let's go up and test it."

Back in the forging room, Siyu kicked the scattered tools aside and cleared a space.

Immediately, he took out a piece of wood to test the power of the hidden weapon.

"By the way, I haven't had time to ask, what is the name of this thing?"

Ning Tianchen replied: "Silent sleeve arrow."

"However, it is difficult to test its power with just a wooden board. Use this."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of iron plate made of fine iron, which was five centimeters thick.

Siyu touched her chin and said, "For the built-in arrows, I used iron essence as the material, so it's not a problem to shoot through this board."

"Then what do you think the range of this thing is?" Ning Tianchen asked again. The internal spring and stress bow were forged by Siyu himself, so he was certainly aware of the power and range.

"If the arrow remains stable, the killing range is probably only thirty meters."

As he spoke, he raised his sleeve arrow and aimed it at the steel plate.

Ning Tianchen placed the Seven Killing Sword in front of him to form a soul power barrier to prevent the arrows from colliding with the metal plate and rebounding, causing unnecessary trouble.

As the trigger was pulled, dozens of arrows flew out, making loud noises as they collided with the metal plates.

Unexpectedly, the arrow did not penetrate the metal plate, leaving only a few shallow dents and scratches on the surface.

Siyu bent down and picked up the arrow on the ground.

Seeing that the tip of the arrow was completely damaged, he smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I overestimated the hardness of iron essence. If I change to a harder metal, the power should be greater."

Ning Tianchen asked back: "What about the cost?"

"What's the cost?" Siyu asked puzzledly.

Ning Tianchen took out an identical silent sleeve arrow from his soul guide.

"This is a weapon that can kill enemies on the battlefield. If each hidden arrow is made of high-value metal, how much money would it cost to equip a team of 10,000 people?"

Siyu realized the seriousness of the problem. He looked back at the blueprint and shook his head, saying, "On the battlefield, this kind of weapon has no room for use."

With a range of thirty meters, is it applicable in the battlefield?

When a large army confronts each other, the cavalry must be at the forefront.

At a distance of thirty meters, the cavalry could rush to the front in a few breaths. With such weapons, at most they could only gain an advantage in the first wave.

When a real fight breaks out, soldiers using hidden weapons may not have enough time to use their weapons to fight the enemy, and will be beheaded by the enemy who rushes forward.

This kind of hidden weapon can only be effective in fights involving less than a hundred people.

"It's less powerful, but it's still a work of art." Siyu put the silent sleeve arrow into her arms as if it were a treasure.

Ning Tianchen smiled and pointed to the blueprint beside him, "Master Siyu, the weapon next to it has a range of 600 meters, would you like to take a look?"

"Six hundred meters?" Siyu exclaimed, "Even with a 160-stone bow, it's hard to have a range of six hundred meters. Just relying on this weird-looking giant iron pipe?"

Ning Tianchen did not explain much and took out a firearm from his soul guide.

From the appearance, this weapon is very similar to the legendary rifle in his previous life, and it relies on gas to achieve continuous firing.

Siyu was confused for a moment. "I admit, this is a style I have never seen before. But, this weapon has no sharp edges. How can it kill the enemy? How can it kill people from 600 meters away?"

"Master Siyu, please open the door. This weapon is too powerful. Let others go out first to avoid accidental injuries."

Siyu pushed the door open without saying anything more.

When Ning Rongrong and others walked out of the forging room, they did not forget to stuff cotton into their ears and cover their ears.

Ning Tianchen pulled Siyu and hid behind the forge. He raised the weapon above his head with both hands and pointed the muzzle at the metal plate.

"Hide well and don't stick your head out."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the trigger.

The moment the bullets were fired, there were loud noises.

In such a small environment, the sound seems unusually loud.

After firing a burst of bullets, Siyu's ears were ringing due to the sound of gunfire and her eyes were slightly dazed.

Ning Tianchen pulled him and he finally came to his senses.

"Power, against power."

Siyu muttered something mysteriously, rushed forward and checked the condition of the metal plate.

The power of the rifle still did not penetrate the metal plate, but it left many deep holes on the surface of the metal plate. The splashing bullet fragments left many scratches on the metal floor.

"It's only half a centimeter away from penetrating the metal plate. What a terrifying power. I'm afraid no one below the Soul King can resist it."

"It was a bold attempt to incorporate gunpowder into a weapon."

After praising him, Siyu asked, "How much did those few hits cost?"

Since it is a weapon, cost is the most important thing.

"About one Gintama coin."

"so cheap?"

Siyu was completely dumbfounded.

Compared to the flashy and impractical nature of concealed weapons, the advantages of firearms are simply innumerable.

After some explanation, Siyu finally understood the principles of firearms.

"If this is used on the battlefield, with such firepower, the enemy's cavalry will probably be wiped out."

Siyu was completely impressed by this weapon.

The most important thing is that if a firearm malfunctions, ordinary soldiers can also repair it.

Moreover, with the support of modular design, soldiers can replace gun parts in a very short time and achieve continuous fire suppression.

If such firearms were issued by the Blacksmith Association, the status of blacksmiths on the continent would surely rise in the future.

However, for the master blacksmith, such a simple firearm can be made by ordinary blacksmiths. Who will respect the master blacksmith in the future?

As a human being, you always have to have some pursuits.

Siyu has learned from Lou Gao for decades to reach her current position. How could she give up easily?

Ning Tianchen had no idea what the other party was thinking, so he asked with a smile, "I think we might be able to cooperate."

"In addition to these standard weapons, there are some weapons that are more powerful but more difficult to make. I wonder if the Blacksmith Association is interested?"

Stronger weapons, harder to make!

Siyu smiled in her heart.

In this way, the master blacksmith still has a lofty status in the blacksmith circle.

There is no loss for him, but it is a great benefit to him, so of course he will agree.

"Quick, take it out and have a look."

Ning Tianchen did not carry the firearms blueprints with him at all times, but he did have a real object in his soul guide - a large-caliber firearm.

"This gun was able to blow up the Soul Emperor's head with one shot from three hundred meters away." Chen Huayu introduced with a smile as he stood at the door.

Ning Tianchen took over the conversation, "This weapon has a range of about two thousand meters, but the production cost is much higher than the previous weapon."

Siyu nodded seriously and suggested, "Try the power?"

"Then you better cover your ears." Ning Tianchen pointed at the wall with a smile, "Is your wall hard enough?"

Siyu said confidently: "You can give it a try."

After saying this, he quickly covered his ears.

Ning Tianchen pulled the trigger.

A thunderous sound suddenly rang out, echoing in the forging room and the outer corridor, lingering for a long time.

Siyu came to her senses and quickly checked where the bullet landed.

What amazed him was that the bullet completely penetrated the wall of the forging room, and through the hole in the wall, he could clearly see the scene next door.

"It's over!" Siyu exclaimed. (End of this chapter)
