Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Zhao Wuji looked at everyone, a relaxed smile on his face, clapped his hands and said, "Alright, alright, everyone stop crowding around."

"Xiao San and Xiao Wu have both successfully absorbed their third spirit rings, and Fatty's poison has been cured. Our spirit hunting trip has finally been a complete success!"

"Everyone, find a place to sit down and rest for a while to recover your soul power."

"Then, after everyone has rested enough, we'll pack our things and head back to Shrek Academy!"

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The group had been living in constant fear and had experienced many unexpected events in the Star Dou Great Forest, leaving them exhausted.

Upon hearing that they could rest, everyone found clean stones or grass to sit down. Some closed their eyes to rest, while others chatted quietly, trying to relax their tense nerves.

On the other side, Tang San did not rest.

He turned and walked to the corpse of the Thousand-Eyed Illusion Vine, squatted down, took out a small dagger from his soul tool, and began to carefully dissect it.

Everyone knew what he was thinking: he wanted to see if this 1,500-year-old plant-type soul beast could drop a soul bone.

After all, soul bones are extremely rare; even for a thousand-year-old soul beast, the probability of obtaining a soul bone is very low.

Tang San dissected the body very carefully, examining every part of the Thousand-Eyed Illusion Vine's body, leaving no corner unchecked.

Unfortunately, even after he had dissected the entire Thousand-Eyed Illusion Vine, he still couldn't find a trace of the soul bone.

Tang San shook his head slightly, a faint look of disappointment flashing across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

On the other side, Wang Teng, like the others, also found a sunny rock to sit on and began to close his eyes and rest.

Previously, Wang Teng had fought with the human-faced spider, and coupled with the fatigue from his previous journey, he was now feeling somewhat tired.

But after only a few minutes of rest, a soft call reached his ears.

Ning Rongrong asked with a hint of curiosity, "Wang Teng..."

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's voice, Wang Teng immediately opened his eyes.

Turning her head, she saw Ning Rongrong sitting next to her, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Tang San not far away, glancing at her from time to time, as if she had some questions to ask.

"What's wrong, Rongrong?"

Wang Teng spoke in a relaxed tone, still carrying a hint of languor from just waking up, as he looked at Ning Rongrong beside him and asked.

Ning Rongrong pointed to Tang San, who was still dealing with the corpse of the Thousand-Eyed Illusion Vine not far away. She leaned closer and lowered her voice, saying, "When Xiao San was dissecting that Thousand-Eyed Illusion Vine just now, I clearly saw him pull out a lot of crossbow bolts from the soul beast's corpse."

"That thing looks small, but it seems to be incredibly powerful."

"It can even easily penetrate the body of a thousand-year-old soul beast. Do you know what kind of weapon that is?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes were full of curiosity.

The crossbow bolts were small but sharp; when Tang San pulled them out, the tips were still covered in dark green vine sap.

It's clear that this thing has extremely strong penetrating power; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to pierce into the hard body of the Thousand-Eyed Illusion Vine.

Wang Teng looked in the direction Ning Rongrong pointed and saw Tang San pull out the last few crossbow bolts and casually put them into his soul tool.

He looked away and smiled at Ning Rongrong, saying, "The one you're talking about is called the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. It's a hidden weapon that Xiao San made himself, and it's quite powerful."

"What, you've taken a fancy to this?"

At this point, Wang Teng suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he added, "By the way, when I helped Xiao San stop the human-faced spider before, he specially gave me one. I haven't had a chance to use it yet. If you want it, I'll give it to you first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Teng took out a small and exquisite Zhuge Repeating Crossbow from his storage soul tool.

This Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is entirely dark black and is made of a special metal.

It feels heavy in the hand, and the crossbow body is engraved with simple patterns. It looks inconspicuous, but it exudes a sharp aura.

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up the moment she saw the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow in Wang Teng's hand.

Her curiosity intensified, and she quickly reached out to take it, holding it carefully in her hands as if it were a rare treasure.

Ning Rongrong gently stroked the texture of the crossbow body, and then tried to pull the string. It felt smooth and effortless, and her eyes were full of joy.

Chapter 172 The Cultivation of Sect Disciples

"This is the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow! It looks so exquisite!"

Ning Rongrong played with it for a while, her fingertips caressing the crossbow body, her anticipation growing stronger.

Then, she turned to look at Wang Teng, her tone carrying a hint of impatience and a touch of coquetry.

"Wang Teng, can I try out the power of this thing?"

"I want to see if it can actually penetrate the hard tree trunk like it did before."

Seeing Ning Rongrong's impatient expression, Wang Teng couldn't help but smile and shake his head helplessly.

He knew Ning Rongrong too well; she was always full of curiosity about new and interesting things.

However, since Ning Rongrong wanted to see it, Wang Teng naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Alright, but be careful not to hurt anyone, and don't shoot randomly. Let's try it out over there."

Upon receiving Wang Teng's consent, Ning Rongrong immediately beamed with joy, stood up quickly, and pulled Wang Teng aside.

Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and others who were not far away glanced at them curiously as they saw the two of them get up and leave.

However, no one asked any further questions, assuming that they had something to say to each other, or that Wang Teng wanted to spend some time alone with Ning Rongrong.

The others looked away and went back to resting or talking.

Just as the two were about to disappear from everyone's sight, Zhao Wuji's voice came from behind them.

Zhao Wuji instructed, "You two, don't go too far!"

Although this is the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest and there's no immediate danger, we still can't let our guard down. Just stay put in the vicinity!

Wang Teng quickly stopped, turned around and waved to Zhao Wuji, replying loudly, "Understood, Teacher Zhao, don't worry."

"We're just looking for a place to test our weapons; we definitely won't go far."

"You can see us anytime we're just ten meters away!"

After saying that, Wang Teng accompanied Ning Rongrong to a place about ten meters away from the others.

There are several thick, large trees here, the one in front of which requires three adults holding hands to hug.

The tree trunk was sturdy, making it perfect for testing the power of Zhuge's repeating crossbow.

Ning Rongrong stopped, raised the Zhuge Crossbow with both hands, and aimed it at the tree that would take three people to encircle.

Her eyes became serious as she carefully adjusted her aim, her finger gently resting on the trigger.

Wang Teng stood beside Ning Rongrong, his eyes scanning their surroundings warily to prevent any unexpected incidents.

At the same time, he also looked curiously at the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow in Ning Rongrong's hand. Wang Teng actually didn't know how powerful this thing was.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of sharp whooshing sounds suddenly rang out.

Immediately following was a series of "thud thud thud" sounds, so dense they almost formed a single, continuous sound.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen thin crossbow bolts shot out from the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, carrying a sharp gust of wind, and shot straight toward the thick tree trunk.

Wang Teng subconsciously squinted, and only after all the crossbow bolts had been fired did he lead Ning Rongrong forward to check.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked; once he did, even Wang Teng couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

The thick tree trunk was riddled with crossbow bolts, resembling a hornet's nest.

What's even more shocking is that these dozen or so crossbow bolts actually pierced right through the thick tree trunk in front of them.

It burrowed deep into the trunk of another, larger tree behind it.

Each crossbow bolt was driven deep into the tree trunk, leaving only a small section of the fletching sticking out.

Ning Rongrong walked quickly to the tree trunk, reached out and gently stroked the dense holes on the trunk.

Her eyes were filled with shock and admiration, and her voice was tinged with excitement as she exclaimed, "What incredible power!"

"This is amazing! It can actually penetrate such a thick tree trunk."

"If it hits a Soul Master, it will definitely cause serious injury instantly!"

Wang Teng walked to Ning Rongrong's side, looked at the hollow in the tree trunk, nodded, and said with certainty, "The power is indeed quite good."

"The Zhuge Repeating Crossbow has extremely strong penetrating power. Unless a defensive Soul Master prepares in advance and uses his Soul Power to protect his entire body, it will be impossible to penetrate it."

"Otherwise, even Soul King level Soul Masters wouldn't dare to withstand these crossbow bolts head-on, as they could easily have their defenses pierced and suffer serious injuries."

In fact, Wang Teng was also secretly thinking to himself that the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow that Tang San had forged was very different from the crossbows he had seen before he transmigrated.

Before he transmigrated, he was in an ordinary world without magic.

The crossbow bolts there were of limited power; they could hardly penetrate even ordinary wooden planks, let alone a tree trunk that three people could hug.

But Tang San's Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is different.

Before Tang San transmigrated, he lived in a world that was somewhere between martial arts and fantasy.

He himself knew a lot about forging and hidden weapon techniques.

After arriving in Douluo Continent, Tang San learned forging techniques from Tang Hao and combined them with the unique metals found on Douluo Continent.

As a result, the power of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow that Tang San created was naturally incomparable to what it used to be.

Wang Teng stroked his chin, his gaze falling on the hole in the tree trunk, and he secretly analyzed in his heart: "Although both are called Zhuge Repeating Crossbows, they both use the mechanism principle."

"But the one that Tang San forged must have been made using a special metal unique to the Douluo Continent."

"Only these special metals, which are both hard and tough, can produce such power and give the crossbow bolts such strong penetrating power."

Just then, Ning Rongrong suddenly turned her head, her eyes shining as she looked at the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow in her hand. Her tone was full of excitement and anticipation as she asked Wang Teng, "Wang Teng, what do you think if I represent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and buy the design blueprints for this Zhuge Repeating Crossbow from Tang San?"

"If our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could mass-produce these hidden weapons, the strength of the sect would definitely be greatly enhanced in the future."

"Even if we are support-type Soul Masters, we should still be able to put up a fight against other Soul Masters in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng paused for a moment, then thought about it carefully and said to Ning Rongrong, "Well, I don't think that's feasible."

"You know Tang San's personality. He's not the kind of person who would easily sell his hard work, especially the design blueprints for hidden weapons that he created himself."

Tang San values ​​his hidden weapons highly and cherishes his skills.
