Chapter 169: Chapter 168: Upgraded Mechanical Clamping Hidden Weapon

Tang San said, "Before we came out this time, while I was working at Jiali Academy, I heard that their students were also planning to enter the Jiali mountain range for a trial. So, it's highly likely that we'll encounter them. Sister Chengzi, when you're scouting later, if you get the chance, pay attention to see if there are any movements from them nearby. If there are, try to pinpoint their location and maintain a certain distance from them.""Hmm, okay. Are they strong?" Cheng Zicheng asked with interest.

Tang San nodded seriously and said, "Very strong."

Golden Lion Dogs are of the Eighth Stage, which definitely wasn't something they could deal with at the moment, of course, this was under the assumption that they didn't account for Elder Zhong following behind them.

Judging from the conversation between the Golden Lion Dog and Pretty Girl, their side did not have any instructors following them. After all, the Golden Lion Dog itself had a golden bloodline, and if Tang San's guess was correct, Pretty Girl might even have a Demon Emperor bloodline, the existence of the most top-tier bloodline. Such a combination could surely defend themselves against a Ninth Stage Demon Beast.

Wu Bingji frowned slightly and said, "Why didn't you mention this before we set out?"

Tang San replied, "I was afraid that the teachers would worry too much, which would affect our training experience. With Sister Chengzi scouting, if we keep our distance from them, there should be no big problem. Besides, our strength is not the same as it was before! I have some things to give to you."

While speaking, Tang San took out one item after another from his storage bag.

Seeing the peculiar items that were as black as ink yet emanated specks of golden light, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

The items before them looked somewhat like weapons with a gleaming, cold light, yet they were unlike anything they had seen before.

"What are these..." Wu Bingji asked in surprise, looking towards Tang San.

Tang San said, "These are the weapons that I researched together with Elder Zhong. At first, the main goal was to equip Brother Du Bai since he lacked direct combat strength. Later on, I thought it wouldn't be fair to focus on only one person, so I made some for everyone. I call these hidden weapons, similar to the Concealed Weapon Technique I've taught you, Senior Brother. However, these hidden weapons are mechanically launched, so even an ordinary person could use them, and they're quite powerful. For each of you, I made customized items based on your characteristics. Sister Chengzi, these two are for you."

As he spoke, Tang San handed Cheng Zicheng a crossbow-like hidden weapon that had an elastic shoulder strap and another cylindrical one.

Due to the urgency of time, the number of hidden weapons that Tang San could temporarily craft was limited, and some particularly powerful ones were not something that could be made overnight. He himself didn't have enough, let alone supply each person with one.

"What is this?" On seeing something new, with everyone being young, they naturally became very interested.

Chengzi took the two pieces; they were heavy and cold to the touch, giving off a mysterious aura from their gleaming surfaces.

Tang San smiled and said, "This one is the Tight Back Bow. Wear it on your back. See these three bolts above? When you want to shoot them, just bend your head down, and they will fly out from behind your head, especially when you shoot while flying, the force is tremendous. The downside is that there is only one shot available, and after shooting, it needs to be reloaded. All these hidden weapons are made of Black Gold, very precious. So make sure to recover the bolts after shooting. I've only prepared double sets of bolts for each of you, so if you lose them after using them, they're gone."

"The other is a Sleeve Arrow, relatively light. Slip it over your right wrist, and by simply bending the wrist downwards, the sleeve arrows will shoot out. There's a mechanism that allows you to decide whether to shoot out all three at once or just one at a time."

Tang San was explaining the usage of hidden weapons to Cheng Zicheng and he himself had some peculiar feelings, as if he had returned to his youth in his previous life, when his initial rise was greatly attributed to the role of hidden weapons.

"Before you use these two hidden weapons, I suggest you charge them first. By charging, I mean infusing them with your bloodline power into the magic array on them. This allows for the accumulation of energy, so that when you fire them, their power will be greatly enhanced. Different bloodline powers should have different amplification effects on the weapons, and I've already experimented with this."

Indeed, the biggest difference between the hidden weapons Tang San had crafted this time and those from his previous life was the magic array.

One could say that these were evolved versions of hidden weapons, and he also needed to keep up with the times!

In the world of Soul Land, a realm of soul tools appeared on the continent after he became a God in those ten thousand years, and the Tang Sect he founded pushed the crafting of soul tools to its peak. Powerful soul tools were based on hidden weapons with many complex additions, such as core magic arrays. Of course, there were even stronger entities, including powerful soul tools capable of devastating heaven and earth.

But the problem was, Tang San, who had already ascended to godhood, did not learn how to craft those soul tools. So, how could he, as a Godking at that time, possibly know the specifics of crafting soul tools when he only had the concept?

Therefore, he only knew the theories of soul tools. The hidden weapons he crafted at this moment were based on that theory, deductively combining magic arrays with hidden weapons on his own.

More importantly, the energy system of this world was different from that of the old Soul Land, so when creating magic arrays, he had to make them compatible with the bloodline energy system of this world.

As a result, the enhanced version of mechanical hidden weapons he developed were, naturally, much more powerful than those from his previous life. The different bloodline powers could produce different effects, which was the most magical part.

"What do you mean different bloodline powers have different effects?" Wu Bingji asked curiously.

Tang San said, "Simply put, if Sister Chengzi were to use them, infusing her bloodline power, the arrows she shoots will have some of the features of the Golden Peng Transformation, such as being extremely fast, and with the sharp attributes of the Golden Peng Transformation, their penetrating power will be even stronger. If Senior Brother Yu uses them, infusing your Ice Spirit Transformation bloodline energy, then, the arrows you shoot will have ice attributes."

"It can be like this? Has the mayor's research on magic arrays reached such a level?" Cheng Zicheng flipped through the two hidden weapons in her hand, looking at the small core magic arrays engraved on them with a faint halo flowing around, filled with disbelief.

You should know, even in the teachings of Redemption Academy, there were moments when magic arrays were discussed, but it was all quite rudimentary. The teachers had little understanding of magic arrays, yet they never imagined they could be so wonderfully utilized.

Tang San handed two relatively large objects to Du Bai, "These are for you, Brother Du Bai. Because we're short on time, I've crafted this pair of Zhuge magic crossbows for you. I'll make other things for you later, to arm you to the teeth."

Du Bai excitedly took the two Zhuge magic crossbows, feeling their weighty presence, but given his ongoing body building, using them was no issue. Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"How do I use this Zhuge magic crossbow?" he asked curiously.

Tang San replied, "After you've concentrated your bloodline power, just pull this trigger here, and it will fire. In terms of sheer power, it's the most powerful among these hidden weapons. Each Zhuge magic crossbow can shoot out thirty-six small bolts. I, too, am eager to see what effect the Zhuge magic crossbows will have with the boost from your Heavenly Fox Transformation. I think you probably won't even need to aim. The Luck control of the Heavenly Fox Eye will guide them to hit your opponent, but remember to take aim before launching. I'll teach you how to use it in a bit."

Once he finished speaking, he handed over a hidden weapon to Senior Brother Wu Bingji and Gu Li, one for each. They both received a Sleeve arrow.
