Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 116: A set costing 1 gold soul coins—they're obsessed with money!

Yang Wudi was very displeased with Tang San's initiative in launching the attack.

"Don't think that just because there are weapons on the entire continent that are similar in structure to your silent sleeve dart, they must have been plagiarized from you. The continent has tens of thousands of years of history, and even if a lot of soul tool technology has been lost, it has absolutely nothing to do with your silent sleeve dart."

"If you want this kind of soul tool, we are willing to give you a set for research purposes, out of respect for the old gorilla. But your attitude, Tang San, is truly disgusting."

At this moment, Titan saw Yang Wudi's expression gradually turn angry, and he immediately explained,

"This child doesn't know much about soul tools, which is why he said such inappropriate things. I, Old Goat, have personally witnessed the power of the Zhuge Crossbow and the Silent Sleeve Arrow in this child's hands. Even in front of a Soul Master, these two hidden weapons can cause great damage."

Changing the subject, Yang Wudi took the Zhuge Divine Crossbow from Titan, glanced at it briefly, and then disdainfully returned it.

"This Zhuge Divine Crossbow is not as effective as the Level 3 Soul Guidance Ray developed by Ji. For those who have never seen a soul guidance device, it is indeed an ingenious invention, but for us, it is somewhat incongruous."

Although the Zhuge Divine Crossbow utilizes a sophisticated structure and the interlocking of various parts to achieve its firing purpose, the Soul Guidance Device developed by our alliance leader only requires inputting soul power to quickly complete the firing.

Yang Wudi simply couldn't get used to this Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

Tang San, unaware of Yang Wudi's inner thoughts, looked at his most prized creation of hidden weapons since arriving in this world. These weapons were highly regarded by Sect Leader Ning, yet Yang Wudi treated them like trash.

His attitude towards Ji Wuming was especially respectful, just like that of a sect leader when meeting the sect master.

Titan was quite dissatisfied with Yang Wudi's favoritism towards outsiders. How could a small soul tool be as powerful as the Zhuge Crossbow?

He firmly believed that under the old master's tutelage, the hidden weapons created by the young master would be far more powerful than this small soul tool.

"Old Goat, since we're arguing endlessly about soul tools versus hidden weapons, how about we let the two kids find a place to test the power of these two weapons?"

"What do you think, kid Ji?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuming readily agreed, "Alright, let's have a match then."

He was also eager to see which was more powerful, the improved version of the Level 3 Soul Guiding Ray he had developed or the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

Soon, Tang San and Ji Wuming arrived at one side of the training ground. Both looked ahead, and almost simultaneously, two vastly different sounds rang out.

Fifty meters away, two shots of different degrees were observed on a 50-centimeter-thick granite slab.

One had 16 puncture holes, while the other had a large penetrating hole about ten centimeters in diameter; and the force it caused was not limited to these.

Two other granite slabs of the same thickness, located 30 meters behind, were also pierced by the bullet.

Titan and Tang San were both terrified upon seeing this.

"How could such a small soul tool unleash such powerful force, with a range of about 130 meters?"

Tang San still didn't believe it. After running over and examining it carefully, he too was amazed by the intricate and extremely small device, which combined the silent sleeve arrow with a level-three soul-guided ray that could fold, shrink, and extend.

"Given the power of this level three soul guide ray, it would be absolutely no problem to attack a powerful attack-type Soul Master head-on. However, it would be extremely difficult for Zhuge Shennu to attack a Soul Master head-on."

However, Tang San quickly recovered from his surprise and comforted himself.

"My Zhuge Divine Crossbow is a hidden weapon, a weapon launched from the shadows. Even though its power is slightly weaker than this level three soul guide ray, it still has the same effect on a power-attack type Soul Master thanks to the Tang Sect's hidden weapon techniques."

Titan, being a master craftsman, was even more obsessed with new weapons, especially after witnessing the power of the Level 3 Soul Guidance Ray developed by Ji Wuming, which fueled his even greater desire for it.

"Old Goat, does your Breaking Clan still have any of these finished Level 3 Soul Guiding Rays? I plan to buy a couple hundred sets to equip the members of my Strength Clan."

"Old gorilla, this is the most core weapon of my Breaking Clan. No matter how good the friendship between our two clans is, my clan will not sell it in bulk. Moreover, this matter is not something I can decide alone. It depends on Ji boy. If he agrees, then I have no objection."

Yang Wudi didn't see any problem with Titan's suggestion, after all, the relationship between the Breaking Clan and the Power Clan was there.

But as he mentioned before, this level-three soul guide ray is a powerful weapon for their Breaking Clan to resist the Spirit Hall in the future. If it is sold in bulk, and someone finds a breakthrough in it, then the advantage of their level-three soul guide ray will be completely lost.

Titan was well aware of Yang Wudi's concerns, so he asked Ji Wuming for advice.

"Hey kid, are you selling this level three soul-guided ray?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Wuming finally uttered a single word: "Sell."

"How many gold soul coins does a set cost?"

"1 Gold Soul Coins".

Upon hearing this, Titan was taken aback by the price quoted: "What? 10,000 gold soul coins? Even the materials and labor costs for this batch of goods I delivered only amount to a little over 10,000 gold soul coins!"

The latest novel is first published here!

"And you're charging 1 gold soul coins for a set? That's highway robbery!"

Titan only suppressed his emotions out of respect for Yang Wudi; otherwise, he would have definitely questioned him about why the price had become so high when he wanted to buy and the kid wanted to sell.

Seeing Titan's anger, Ji Wuming remained calm and explained methodically.

"On the continent today, there are indeed powerful soul tools like mine, but the technology has been lost. My level three soul ray is a matter of survival for the Guan Po clan. If I were to sell it, this is the price."

He hadn't originally planned to sell the soul tools he developed, but he reluctantly sold some out of respect for Yang Wudi, so the high price was understandable.

Tang San, while surprised by Ji Wuming's tactlessness, also came to a new understanding of the man: greed.

Even the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, which he developed himself, would only cost 1,000 gold soul coins to sell at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but Ji Wuming sold it for 10,000.

You're obsessed with money!

On the surface, he seemed to want to sell, but in reality, he deliberately raised the price to discourage potential buyers. It has to be said that Ji Wuming was a hypocrite. If Ji Wuming had lived in the Tang Clan's era, he would have killed this hypocrite long ago.
