A man in Douluo Continent writes a diary; his martial soul, the White Tiger, possesses the special a

Chapter 124 Even a trashy hidden weapon needs human blood to unseal it? (Please continue reading)

Since Dugu Yan's level had reached level 30, the four decided to take a detour through the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a suitable third soul ring for her.

The Star Dou Great Forest spans two great empires, so it didn't take the group long to reach the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, which is located within the Star Luo Empire.

The main reason is that Dugu Yan's martial soul is the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, which is also a true dragon species. It contains a trace of true dragon bloodline in its body, so the best soul beasts to hunt are naturally dragon species soul beasts. Moreover, she wants a defensive type for her third soul skill, and such soul beasts are probably only common in the Star Dou Great Forest.

There are basically no soul beasts like those in ordinary Soul Hunting Forests or Royal Soul Hunting Forests.

This is not surprising, as the Royal Soul Hunting Forest is mainly for the service of the royal family, so most of the soul beasts in it are tiger (cat) type soul beasts, and there are basically no dragon type soul beasts.

While massaging Zhu Zhuqing's forearms, Dai Yichen's mind was not idle; he hadn't written his diary entry for the day yet.

Today I'm finally setting off for Gengxin City to contact the Blacksmith Association. I hope what I bring will pique Senior Lou Gao's interest. Originally, I wanted to directly present a few blueprints for soul tools, but then I realized that even though Lou Gao is a master craftsman, he's not a soul tool master like those on the Sun Moon Continent, and he can't compare to the master craftsmen who will create battle armor tens of thousands of years later.

[This requires a learning process, so there's no other way but to use the hidden weapons from Tang San's previous life in the Tang Sect, hehe. Among mechanical hidden weapons, the most common and mass-producible are the Silent Sleeve Arrow, the Sand-Spitting Shadow Arrow, the Tight-Backed Flower-Patterned Crossbow, and the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. Among them, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow can kill experts below the Soul King level if used unexpectedly.]

[Furthermore, the production cost isn't too high, only around seventy gold soul coins, making it extremely cost-effective. The downside is that, being a concealed weapon, it will inevitably suffer wear and tear with each use, and the bolts for the Zhuge Divine Crossbow aren't cheap. In the short term, it offers the best value. However, in the long term, it's still necessary to develop offensive soul tools like the Soul Guidance Cannon, but this requires highly advanced technology and is quite difficult to manufacture; Lou Gao probably can't do it now.]

Among Tang San's hidden weapons, the most powerful are the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, and the Peacock Feather. The difficulty of making these three hidden weapons is no less than that of some powerful high-level soul tools, but their power is also astonishing. All three hidden weapons have the power to injure a Title Douluo, and even some weaker Title Douluos are basically doomed if they are hit.

Dugu Yan: Why do I feel like you're talking about my grandfather?

Dugu Yan stared at the diary entries without saying a word, secretly grinding her teeth.

Ning Rongrong, however, became interested in these hidden weapons. If every direct descendant of their sect could be equipped with a set of mass-produced mechanical hidden weapons, wouldn't their self-defense capabilities be greatly enhanced?

As for the money spent?

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is incredibly wealthy, and money is the last thing the sect has to offer.

However, Ning Rongrong is now somewhat troubled. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Star Luo Empire are not on good terms. If she were older, she could persuade her father and grandfather to do something.

However, she has only awakened her martial soul less than a year ago. Although the three of them dote on her, they may not necessarily listen to her on this matter.

It seems I have to do something!

Suddenly, Ning Rongrong thought of something. Tang San clearly had the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, but in the end, he represented the academies within the Heaven Dou Empire in the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition. And if she remembered correctly, Tang Yuehua, the dean of Yuexuan, was also a member of the Clear Sky Sect, right?

Before the Haotian Sect closed its gates, it supported the Xingluo Empire. But now that it has appeared in the territory of the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Xueye did nothing to them.

While part of the reason might be fear of the power behind them, she seemed to have never heard of Emperor Xueye asking her father to let Tang Yuehua leave the Heaven Dou Empire, or even that Princess Xue Ke of the Heaven Dou Empire was going to study at Yuexuan.

Why can't she go to Star Luo Royal Academy to study?

Who decided that just because she's the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she has to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to study in the future?

Besides, she didn't go on the original route either, did she?

I went to that so-called Shrek Academy, and I don't even know what I was thinking at the time.

Suddenly, Ning Rongrong remembered that she had mentioned building a gravity training room to her father and grandfather, but the blacksmiths in the empire basically had no way to do it, or even had the idea.

Could they try going to Gengxin City?

That way, she might have a chance to meet Dai Yichen; she's been wanting to meet him for a long time.

Heart is worse than action.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu, who was at a low-level Soul Master Academy, was lost in thought when she saw them heading to Gengxin City.

[However, the mere mention of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles ignites my anger. In the original story, Lou Gao sacrificed himself to forge them, throwing himself into the furnace and using his own blood and energy to activate their sharpness.]

[A perfectly skilled craftsman died such a pathetic death in the original story. It's quite ironic, really; such a worthless hidden weapon required a human sacrifice. The Rain of Pear Blossom Needles might be powerful in this world, powerful enough to harm a low-level Title Douluo, but in Tang San's martial arts world, its power is nowhere near that great.]

A flawless version after careful inspection!

[Any martial arts expert with even a moderate level of skill can't be harmed by the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles. Tang San himself is a prime example. When he was first discovered, the sect elders tried to use the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles on him, but Tang San dodged them all with his agile movements and footwork.]

At that time, Tang San was only twenty-nine years old. No matter how extraordinary his talent was, his cultivation level was at most on par with the elders of a sect, and could not possibly surpass them. But even with that, he could remain unharmed when facing the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, let alone other sects that were even more powerful than the Tang Sect.

If I remember correctly, the Tang Sect is located in the Sichuan-Chongqing region. It's impossible that the Tang Sect is the only sect in this region. The sect that impressed me the most was Mount Shu, which was also in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, but they focused on cultivating immortality. I wonder if there are any sects similar to Mount Shu around the Tang Sect, which wasn't mentioned much in the original work.

[Perhaps it really is. After all, how could the Tang Clan, an assassin sect that makes a living with poison and hidden weapons, possess a Taoist technique like the Xuan Tian Gong? And the Shu Mountain Sword Sect happens to be one of the Taoist sects. I'm quite curious where the Tang Clan obtained the Xuan Tian Gong from. It's really strange.]

P.S.: Happy New Year everyone!
