Tang San frowned. "What are you sighing about?"

Ye Hua shook his head. "Tang San, your hidden weapons have a fatal flaw."

Tang San was stunned.

"Oh?" Ning Fengzhi stepped forward. "What defect?"

Ye Hua shook his head. "It has a complex structure and many parts."

"Good concealed weapons require high-quality materials, which makes them extremely expensive!"

"Moreover, such sophisticated concealed weapons are extremely easy to damage, and the maintenance costs are not low."

"If a part is damaged, the entire crossbow may be rendered unusable."

"If this continues, with all the buying and repairs going on, even a large and powerful family like the Ning clan can't afford to build like this, can they?"

"So what?" Tang San scoffed. "Sect Leader Ning is not short of money!"

"Besides, you're an amateur; you have no right to tell me what to do with my hidden weapons!"

"Am I an outsider?" Ye Hua sighed again. "Tang San, I didn't want to argue with you."

"Because I think that your ability to simplify soul-guided hidden weapons is your skill, and it's not easy for you either."

"But what you did today crossed my line!"

Tang San blinked, completely bewildered.

What? I simplified your soul-guided hidden weapon?

Bullshit! Where did you get this new word from?!

But the next second, he froze!

Because Ye Hua calmly and unhurriedly took out a heavy book from his jade bracelet, its cover embroidered with large gold characters—

The Complete Guide to Soul-Guided Hidden Weapons!

Tang San was dumbfounded in an instant!

Chapter 97 Plagiarism! Copying! Shameless!

"Tang San, if you're only using it for yourself, I won't blame you."

"But if you're using defective products to deceive people and charging exorbitant prices, I have no choice but to intervene!"

Ye Hua flipped to the [Zhuge Soul Crossbow] and showed it to Ning Fengzhi and Chenxin Gurong.

Ning Fengzhi stared intently, his gaze immediately fixed on her.

The drawings are clear, the parts are detailed, and the structure is visible to the naked eye. It is much simpler than Tang San's Zhuge Crossbow!

More importantly, fewer parts make maintenance easier, and the materials used are low-cost!

Based on the blueprints, the cost of a single Zhuge Soul Crossbow is at least 200 gold soul coins, and its power is even stronger than the Zhuge Divine Crossbow!

Chenxin and Gurong were both experienced, and after exchanging a glance, they both noticed the cat's unease.

Ning Fengzhi sighed. He originally thought he was clever to spend money to buy hidden weapons, figure them out, and then copy them, but he didn't expect Tang San to be even more clever than him.

"Tang San, Teacher Ye's Zhuge Soul Guided Crossbow is almost identical in structure to your Zhuge Divine Crossbow, but it is simpler, cheaper, and more powerful."

"Can you explain this?"

Tang San was still a little confused, but when he saw the drawing, the color drained from his face.

The blueprints, the structure, the craftsmanship...

It's even more sophisticated than his Zhuge Divine Crossbow!

And it's cheaper! More powerful!

How is this possible?!

He is the pride of the Tang Clan, the inheritor of the Tang Clan's hidden weapons!

The Tang Clan's hidden weapons have endured for a thousand years, reaching the pinnacle of craftsmanship!

How could we be outdone by the natives of another world?

No, no, no...

"Ye Hua, why does this thing of yours look so much like my hidden weapon?" Tang San asked, a question mark appearing above his head.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi shook his head inwardly.

No wonder Rongrong dislikes him; he really is a scoundrel!

"Tang San, tell me, is this hidden weapon really your original creation?"

"That's right," Tang San said anxiously in response to Ning Fengzhi's questioning, "It's my own stuff!"

"No, Sect Leader Ning, Your Excellencies, you can't accuse me of plagiarism just because I resemble Ye Hua!"

"Sect Leader Ning, you can't do this!"

Tang San felt as if ten thousand wild horses were dancing in his heart!

How did my perfectly good Tang Clan hidden weapons become plagiarism?

Ning Fengzhi grew increasingly disappointed and fell silent.

Tang San panicked upon seeing this. Having lost the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School order, he truly didn't know when he would be able to turn things around.

He lunged straight at the Complete Guide to Soul-Guided Hidden Weapons, scrutinizing the diagrams closely, his face deathly pale.

"Impossible... This is impossible..." Tang San muttered to himself.

Ye Hua closed the book. "Tang San, I won't pursue the matter since you stole these techniques."

“But you not only stole the knowledge, but also produced a 'eunuch version' to fool people. That’s going too far.”

"If I hadn't brought out the original today, wouldn't Sect Leader Ning have been fooled by you?"

The eunuch version?

Are you trying to fool people?

Tang San's mind went blank.

"You're talking nonsense!" Tang San roared. "Who was peeking at your things!"

"My hidden weapons have been passed down for thousands of years, why should I need to peek at your tattered book!"

As soon as he began to explain, the council chamber erupted in chaos.

"Plagiarism?" Ning Rongrong was the first to criticize, "You dare to sell plagiarized stuff for tens of thousands of gold soul coins!"

Oscar frowned as well, "I told you he was just average, how could he come up with such a strange design as a hidden weapon!"

Meng Yiran sneered, "You copied it and then showed it off, you're really shameless!"

Even Dai Mubai looked at him with disdain. He wouldn't stoop to doing something like this; it would be too beneath him!

Seeing himself being condemned by everyone, Tang San's lips trembled, "I didn't plagiarize! I didn't plagiarize!"

"These hidden weapons are a family heirloom of my sect! They have nothing to do with Ye Hua!"

"Sect?" Wang Qiu'er tilted her head. "Aren't you a disciple of the Grandmaster?"

"The master's martial spirit is a pig, and he can even make hidden weapons? Could he be a porcupine?"

"I..." Tang San was speechless.

Can he be identified as a member of the Tang Clan?

The Tang Sect does not exist in the Douluo Continent at all!

Can he still claim that he comes from another world?

When Tang Hao learned that his own son had been swapped souls, he was determined to kill him!

"Plagiarism is plagiarism, and no plagiarism is no plagiarism. Tang San, are you still going to make trouble for us?"

Ye Hua's finishing blow became the final straw that broke Camel's back.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Tang San roared hysterically, "Ye Hua! I didn't plagiarize! I didn't!"

"It was you! You plagiarized me! These hidden weapons are clearly my exclusive secret weapons!"

Ye Hua smiled enigmatically, "Oh? Alright then—"

"I can produce the blueprint for the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, can you produce the blueprint for the Zhuge Soul-Guiding Crossbow?"

"I can't!"

"I can write a flowchart from memory, can you?"

"I can't!"

"I can handcraft soul-guided hidden weapons on the spot, can you?"

"I can't!"

“Alright,” Ye Hua spread his hands, “how will you prove that the hidden weapon is your original creation?”

"Mind your own business!" Tang San roared, "Anyway, it's my original work!"

Ye Hua fell silent and turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi.

Now that things have come to this, the truth is self-evident, isn't it?

Ning Fengzhi and Ye Hua exchanged glances and nodded.

Tang San trembled as he watched their gazes.

Ye Hua is laughing at him! Playing tricks on him! Humiliating him!

They're going to trample him to death!

But even his counterattacks were plagiarism!

"Ye Hua!" Tang San drew his Zhuge Crossbow, aiming it at Ye Hua and Ning Fengzhi. "Die!!!"

boom!

A powerful pressure descended from the sky.

The Zhuge Divine Crossbow was crushed into scrap metal.

Tang San was even crushed into the floor.

"Young man, can't you handle losing?" Chen Xin said calmly.

Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement, "Uncle Jian, lock him up first."

The sect guards rushed forward and tied Tang San up tightly.

Even as they were being dragged away, people were still talking behind them.

"Stealing other people's things and then selling a substandard version, shameless."

"When a person is utterly shameless, they become invincible. Why bother arguing with someone who is invincible?"

"I heard he's a eunuch without roots, which makes him a perfect match for this eunuch-style hidden weapon!"

Tang San roared in fury, "I'm not a eunuch!"

But the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could only shake their heads at this.

"He's getting anxious, he's getting anxious."

"How pitiful, all the joy in life is gone."

"You—Pfft!" Tang San was so enraged that blood spurted from his mouth!

The guards who had been holding him back stepped aside, leaving Tang San to fall to the ground.

They don't want to get involved with the blood of transgender people.
