Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Yu Xiaogang didn't continue, but Tang San was very clear about this.

The Sea God's test requires reaching the Black level or higher; failure in the test results in death. The tests of other gods are likely similar.

Tang Chen's ability to cultivate to level 99 solely through his own efforts proves his exceptional talent, making his acquisition of divine inheritance inevitable. However, passing the assessment doesn't guarantee success. Given his level 99 Limit Douluo strength, just how terrifying must the assessment be?
Although Tang San had prepared for the worst, he had promised Poseidon that he would not give up searching for Tang Chen.

"Teachers, I will be setting off for Barak City tomorrow morning. Please help me find out about my great-grandfather and let me know as soon as you have any news."

Yu Xiaogang, of course, would not refuse.

As long as Tang Chen is alive, even without obtaining the divine inheritance, his strength is enough to help them take revenge on the Spirit Hall.

After seeing Yu Xiaogang off, Tang San met with Titan alone.

During his absence, Titan has been shouldering the heavy responsibility for the Tang Clan.

Seeing Tang San break through to the Soul Douluo level, Titan was filled with relief, knowing that his perseverance during this period had not wasted the cultivation time he had earned for Tang San.

"Young Master, whatever your orders are, this old servant will not refuse." Titan knelt on one knee, his attitude sincere.

This time, Tang San did not help him up.

In the past, Titan's strength was above his. Receiving such a great gift made him feel somewhat guilty, and he even worried that Titan would become dissatisfied and thus take revenge on him.

Now that he has enough power to intimidate Titan, he naturally has no worries that the other party will suddenly attack and kill him, and he deserves this great gift.

Tang San's expression remained unchanged, yet he subtly exuded the aura of a master. "Senior Titan, you have done very well during this time. However, the work on crafting the Hidden Sand Arrow and the Silent Sleeve Arrow can be put on hold for a while."

"If the Star Luo royal family urges for delivery, just say that the steel furnace overturned, and many Tang Clan disciples were injured as a result, so the goods cannot be delivered for the time being."

"The extra personnel will all be converted to produce the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. This unprofitable deal is the result of the Haotian Sect's compromise, not the intention of my Tang Sect."

"If you want to buy my Tang Clan's hidden weapons, you have to follow our rules."

Titan paid no attention to Tang San's subtle change in attitude.

However, the Tang Clan is not a formal sect, and such a tough response to the notoriously assertive Star Luo Royal Family could cause them a lot of trouble.

In the past, Tang San would never have dared to do this, but with Dai Mubai back, the Tang Clan now has an ally in the court. By being more assertive, they can reap the greatest benefits.

Titan was unaware of these things, and Tang San had no intention of explaining. "Senior Titan, just do as I say. I will consider the pros and cons."

Titan nodded repeatedly and bowed, saying, "Young Master, will this old servant still personally oversee the final assembly of the Zhuge Crossbow? If you wish to expand production capacity, perhaps this old servant could take on a few apprentices?"

This is a major reason why the production of silent hidden arrows and veiled arrows is not high.

Only Titan and his son Tyno are responsible for the final assembly. No matter how many parts are produced, it will be useless. Their speed is the key to determining the final output.

Tang San thought for a moment and said, "We can arrange for three trusted confidants to learn how to assemble the Sand-Spitting Arrow and the Silent Sleeve Arrow. The Zhuge Crossbow cannot be sold in the short term, so we don't need to increase production in a hurry. The production volume assembled by Senior Titan alone will be sufficient."

"But we should still produce a batch of sample goods as soon as possible, and then have the Star Luo Empire's procurement department inspect them."

What Tang San didn't know was that Dai Tianfeng would never spend a high price to buy these single-use hidden weapons. Even if the Zhuge Crossbow was of the best quality and most powerful, as long as the soldiers couldn't reload it themselves, the price would only be 20-30% higher than the cost for bulk purchases. After all, weapons that couldn't be reloaded were becoming increasingly rare, and if the Tang Clan demanded exorbitant prices at a crucial moment, the prestige of the Star Luo Royal Family would be damaged.

Therefore, he would nip Tang San's ambitions in the bud from the very beginning. Only if Tang San was willing to hand over the technology for manufacturing and loading hidden weapons would he possibly consider Tang San's offer.

Of course, all this is a story later.

……

The next morning, Tang San took Tailong to Barak City.

As for Terra, his talent is even worse than Tyrone's, and without a great opportunity, reaching the peak of Soul Saint is his limit.

With his innate level six talent, it would be somewhat unsuitable for him to continue traveling around with Tang San, so he was left behind by Titan to assemble hidden weapons.

On the other hand, Talon is the grandson of Titan and the young master of the Mighty Clan.

How could the Titans not have selfish motives?

By having Tailong follow Tang San, they can not only continue their master-servant relationship but also improve their strength, thus enabling Tailong to better lead the Power Clan in the future.

On the way, Tailong told Tang San the information he had gathered.

“Young Master, I inquired with the disciples of the Haotian Sect yesterday. Several years ago, after Xue Qinghe completed the palace coup, the royal family of the Barak Kingdom also launched a palace coup. Now, the Barak royal family is likely to be a loyal supporter of Xue Qinghe. If our whereabouts are exposed during our trip to Barak City, we may be in big trouble.”

The influence of the Barak Kingdom is far less than that of the two great empires, and even when the leaders change, it receives little attention from the outside world.

After all, as a mere vassal kingdom of the Heavenly Dou Empire, their policies would inevitably follow the empire's lead; and with the two great empires clashing on their borders, no one paid attention to the Barak royal family.

This is not a good thing for Tang San.

To win over the Dragon-Snake family, one must inevitably reveal their own origins. If the Dragon-Snake family has royal spies within their ranks, wouldn't that expose their whereabouts?
I'm afraid that not only will the Dragon and Snake family be in trouble, but they will also be surrounded and intercepted.

Tang San pondered for a moment and said, "I'll disguise myself a little, and it won't be too late to reveal myself when I see the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple."

……

Barak City.

Since the change of leadership in the royal family, the new king has adopted an unusually tough stance, and even has several supporters at the level of Soul Masters. The Dragon and Snake family has been suppressed to some extent and can no longer act as recklessly as before.

The Dragon and Snake Clan attempted to investigate the origins of these Soul Douluos, but unfortunately, they found nothing.

It's important to understand that these Soul Douluo powerhouses are geniuses nurtured by the Spirit Hall from a young age. Before becoming powerful, they don't easily reveal themselves to the world, and even if they do, they won't actively seek to associate with the Spirit Hall.

Just like Wang Tian's team, which Chen Ping had previously joined, the members were completely unknown to the outside world as being part of the Spirit Hall. They were only "accepted" by the Spirit Hall upon completing specific missions or retiring.
Of course, someone who is trained in such a secret way cannot be a top genius.

A genius like Wu Qi will undoubtedly become a core member of the Spirit Hall's leadership in the future. He must have made his presence known throughout the continent from a young age, allowing the outside world to know of his existence and helping him gain prestige. (End of Chapter)
