Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 33 The height of the building

Chapter 33 The height of the building
The short and fat old man walked forward and looked at Tang San carefully, shaking his head continuously.

"Titan, when did you, an old man, have another grandson?"

"Look at these thin arms and legs. They don't look like you, a descendant of a gorilla, at all."

This person is so rude!

Tang San couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard that, but the social etiquette that Tang Yuehua taught him still came in handy. He knew that he couldn't turn against someone since he needed help at this time.

Therefore, Tang San had to pretend not to care and said:
"This senior is joking. I am not the junior of Elder Titan."

"Let me introduce myself. I am Tang San, the leader of the Tang Sect. Senior Tai Tan has agreed to join the Tang Sect and is an elder of the Tang Sect."

Seeing this, Tai Tan, who was standing behind Tang San, also explained:
"Fatty, this is the leader of my Tang Sect, not my grandson."

"If my useless grandson could be half as good as the master, I would be satisfied."

After saying that, Tai Tan pointed at the short and fat old man and introduced him to Tang San:
"Master, this is my good friend, the president of the Blacksmith Association, and one of the three greatest blacksmiths in the world today, Lou Gao."

Sect leader? Tang Sect?
These words left Lou Gao a little confused.

He first looked at Tang San suspiciously, then turned his gaze to Tai Tan's head and expressed his doubts:
"Titan, are you suffering from Alzheimer's disease?"

"How can you accept a young boy who is still wet behind the ears as the leader of your sect? Are you terminally ill, or am I just deaf and blind?"

"Do you need me to slap you a few times to wake you up, old man?"

"Fatty, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Lou Gao's slightly pitying look made Titan's blood pressure rise sharply. He walked up to Lou Gao, lifted him up and shook him, spitting all over Lou Gao's face.

"I am very sober. I am not terminally ill, nor do I have Alzheimer's disease!"

"Young Master is the leader of the Tang Sect, and I am an elder of the Tang Sect. Do you understand?"

Lou Gao was a little dizzy from being shaken, and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, stop shaking, let me down."

After Tai Tan put Lou Gao down, Lou Gao wiped the spit off his face with his sleeve and muttered:
"Young Master? So it's that guy's son. You old man didn't know to tell me earlier."

"Otherwise, would I have said what I just said?"

Then he turned his head to look at Tang San and asked:
"Tang boy, why don't you become a direct disciple of Haotian Sect and set up your own sect? What's the point of Tang? Tang Sect, what are you doing?"

In the middle, Tang San, who had been ignored by the two for a while, showed a standard smile and explained politely:

"Haotian Sect is Haotian Sect, and Tang Sect is Tang Sect."

"A man should be self-reliant. The younger generation does not want to be left behind by their ancestors, but is determined to make a career for themselves in this world."

"I have come across a rare book, and I intend to use it as a foundation to establish a new sect - the Tang Sect."

"This strange book records a variety of powerful weapons and forging methods. These weapons are collectively called hidden weapons."

"Unlike soul guides that require soul power to activate, hidden weapons can be used even by ordinary people without soul power."

"For example, this Zhuge Crossbow in my hand, I don't know how old it is..."

Before Tang San could finish his words, the Zhuge Crossbow he had just taken out was snatched away by Lou Gao in the blink of an eye.

"What an exquisite structure!" Lou Gao looked at the object in his hand carefully.

Then, a series of afterimages flashed by, and Tang San did not see Lou Gao's movements clearly because he did not use the Purple Demon Pupil in advance.

But in an instant, the Zhuge Crossbow in Lou Gao's hand had turned into parts and scattered on the forging table.

"How amazing!" Tang San was shocked by the skills displayed by Lou Gao, thinking:
"It was my first time seeing the Zhuge Crossbow. I was able to completely disassemble the assembled Zhuge Crossbow with just one look."

"No wonder Titan respects him so much. With such ability, he should become a disciple of our Tang Sect."

At this moment, Lou Gao lowered his head and looked for something on the forging table.

"What was that sound just now? It sounded like the metal was damaged."

After a while, he found several damaged parts. "There is absolutely no problem with my technique. That's the problem."

Lou Gao turned his head and looked at Tang San, his small eyes wide open, his tone somewhat unfriendly.

"Tang boy, did you do something to this thing?"

"Of course!" Tang San pretended to be very generous and walked forward, his face unchanged, and answered:
"Zhuge Liannu is the core inheritance of my Tang Sect. In order to prevent outsiders from obtaining it and copying it, I must of course set up an anti-disassembly device inside it."

"Without the Tang Sect's unique disassembly method, no matter how sophisticated the technique is, it will definitely trigger this anti-disassembly device."

"You have just seen the exquisite structure of the Zhuge Crossbow. I will tell you about the power of the Zhuge Crossbow."

"The Zhuge Crossbow has forty-eight crossbow arrows. Each time the spring is loaded, sixteen arrows can be fired instantly."

"Its power is so great that even a defensive four-ring soul master would have to use his third soul skill to be sure of defending against it."

"The effective killing range of the Zhuge Crossbow is within fifty meters. Beyond fifty meters, its power will be greatly reduced. This is one of its few shortcomings."

Tang San was explaining there, and Lou Gao was listening while studying the parts on the forging table and nodding from time to time.

With Lou Gao's knowledge, he could naturally tell from these parts and their structures that what Tang San said was true, so the look of joy on his face became more intense.

Seeing that Lou Gao's curiosity had been completely aroused by him, Tang San spoke the last sentence in a pretentious manner:

"And this Zhuge Crossbow is only of mid-level quality among all the hidden weapons in my Tang Sect. There are many more powerful hidden weapons that you cannot even imagine, senior."

"What? There are more powerful hidden weapons?" Lou Gao turned around abruptly, and the worldview he had developed over the years was refreshed once again in a short period of time.

"Take it out and show it to me, or I won't believe it!"

"Senior, your words are a bit presumptuous." Tang San shook his head and said:
"Hidden weapons are the foundation of our Tang Sect. I am only allowed to show you the Zhuge Crossbow because of Elder Titan's consideration for me."

"If you want..."

However, Tang San's words were interrupted by Lou Gao again.

"Alright, young man Tang, you don't need to say anything. I will join the Tang Sect right now."

After Lou Gao finished speaking, he shouted toward the door: "Silong, come here!"

In just a few breaths, Silong had already rushed over quickly, stood in front of Lou Gao, and asked respectfully:
"Teacher, what do you want from me?"

Lou Gao waved his hand, put it on Silong's shoulder, and said:
"From now on, you are the president of the Blacksmith Association. I am tired of staying here. I want to travel around the continent and have fun."

"After I am gone, you four brothers must work together to run the association well."

"If you have any troubles that cannot be solved, go find that old man Titan. After all, he is the vice president of the Blacksmith Association."

"That old thing Titan lives in, lives in..."

Lou Gao was stuck in his words, turned his head towards Titan, scratched his head and asked:

"Where do you live now, old man?"

　The original book wrote the two words "Ji Huang".

　　I searched on the Internet and found that Huang is a kind of jade in the shape of a half-bi.

　　I couldn't find any clue about the two words "Ji Huang".

　　In Zhuge Crossbow, the mechanism spring plays the same role as the spring.

　　Therefore, the correct way to write it should be "machine spring".

　　Instead of Jihuang as written in the original book.

　　This is not the first time the original author has made this mistake.
