Douluo Continent: Ghost Rider, Heavenly Blade Burning Soul!

Chapter 81 Xuan Ziwen's Version of Zhuge Divine Crossbow

Qin Hao struggled to break free from Xuan Ziwen's clutches and asked nervously, "Teacher Xuan, what are you doing?"

If it were a female teacher, Qin Hao would definitely not be on guard against such a post.

But Xuan Ziwen is a man!

"I did it!"

"Thanks to your complete encyclopedia of hidden weapons, I've developed a soul tool with extremely low energy consumption and groundbreaking significance!"

Xuan Ziwen picked up the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in his hand and showed it to Qin Hao.

His face was filled with indescribable excitement.

Congratulations, Teacher Xuan!

Xuan Ziwen has been studying the production of various mechanical amplifiers in the laboratory.

Sometimes they don't even eat, and they spend two or three days researching.

Qin Hao was very happy for him to have achieved such results.

"I wonder if I could try it?"

Qin Hao also wanted to experience just how powerful the improved soul tool could be.

"sure!"

Xuan Ziwen did not hesitate at all.

Qin Hao deserves a large part of the credit for the successful research and development of this soul tool.

Even if Qin Hao asked for the entire research and development process and blueprints for soul tools, he would give them to him without hesitation.

Qin Hao didn't stand on ceremony and picked up the Zhuge Crossbow to test it a few times.

It can penetrate even a 1cm steel plate.

Its power is astonishing.

With the support of soul power, he possesses the combat strength of a Soul King.

If enchanted with Hellfire, even a Soul Emperor would likely perish.

"How is it?"

Xuan Ziwen asked excitedly.

"The power is not bad! But there's still room for improvement."

Although the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is very powerful in its current state.

However, this still didn't meet Qin Hao's expectations.

The number of shots fired in a burst is too low!

Moreover, the frequency of attacks is not very high.

Many fast Soul Masters are also able to anticipate and dodge bullets.

If we could achieve a high frequency like that of a rifle.

And if it doesn't consume soul power, then it's perfect.

"Oh? There's still room for improvement? Why don't you tell me?"

Xuan Ziwen listened attentively.

He thought to himself that Qin Hao was still too young.

Although this soul tool is not made of the best materials.

The materials used are all very ordinary high-quality steel, except for the core which uses high-strength titanium produced by the Sun Moon Empire. Without using the milk bottle, the cost of materials is reduced to 100 gold soul coins.

His level of an eighth-tier Soul Master has brought the materials to their fullest potential.

This is definitely the plan he is most satisfied with.

It's not that he can't create a more powerful soul tool.

He could have used better materials to make offensive soul tools.

This will enable it to reach the level of an eighth-order soul tool.

However, the quality of a soul tool is not solely determined by its attack power.

We also need to consider costs and the market.

It achieves extreme cost reduction while granting Soul Masters the attack capabilities of Soul Kings.

This market is larger than anyone can imagine.

A fifth-tier soul tool on the market costs at least tens of thousands of gold soul coins.

That's hundreds of times the profit!

If there's still room for improvement, Xuan Ziwen has nothing more to say.

At least in his mind, this was an extremely perfect soul tool.

Qin Hao could see that Xuan Ziwen was also not convinced.

After glancing at the Zhuge Divine Crossbow for a few moments, he immediately took out paper and pen and began designing.

A few minutes later, Qin Hao drew something that looked like a magazine.

"Wonderful!"

Before Qin Hao could speak...

Xuan Ziwen then learned the function of this thing.

This is used for externally loaded warheads.

Currently, the Zhuge Crossbow can only fire a maximum of ten shots in a row.

Refilling it after use is a very troublesome thing.

You must understand that every second is crucial on the battlefield.

Saving a little time means having more firepower.

That would greatly increase the chances of survival.

Immediately, Xuan Ziwen looked at Qin Hao with more appreciation.

He originally thought it was already an extremely perfect soul tool that didn't need any changes.

But Qin Hao was able to make this valuable little modification after playing with it for a while.

This is absolutely genius.

However, this is not the end.

Qin Hao took out another piece of paper, drew the shape of the Gatling gun, and then handed the drawing to Xuan Ziwen.

"How can the gun barrels be kept cool by firing multiple barrels in turn?"

Xuan Ziwen has a very high level of expertise in mechanical structures and can see the intricacies of the matter at a glance.

Doing it this way can indeed greatly enhance the firepower of the Zhuge Crossbow.

Even the low-end version of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, without special cooling,

Under high-speed firing, the gun barrel is prone to overheating and damage.

Xuan Ziwen excitedly held up the two blueprints.

These ideas are highly feasible and practical.

It can significantly increase the firepower of Zhuge Crossbow.

With abundant soul power, it is entirely possible to achieve the level of a sixth-order soul tool through firepower coverage.

Qin Hao continued, "These two suggestions are quite crucial. To improve overall capabilities, improvements can be made in areas such as rate of fire, grip, silencing, attack range, accuracy, and field of view."

Xuan Ziwen listened attentively to the lecture.

The telescope, soundproofing, grip, attack range, and accuracy are all carefully considered.

Upon closer examination, this soul tool does indeed have significant room for improvement.

Combining telescopes with weapons is a very novel idea.

Ordinary people's abilities are far less powerful than those of Soul Masters.

They may have some visual impairments.

Even powerful Soul Masters have a certain limit to their vision.

For example, when firing a fixed-position soul-guided cannon, it is easy to fire inaccurately and fail to achieve a precise strike.

With the assistance of a telescope, it is indeed a mental burden for ordinary people.

If properly tuned, it could even make everyone a sharpshooter.

Being able to hit and hitting accurately are two completely different concepts.

Xuan Ziwen said gratefully, "Qin Hao, thank you for your suggestions. They were very helpful to me."

"Teacher Xuan, you're too kind. I just mentioned it casually, don't take it to heart."

Xuan Ziwen was speechless.

He didn't know if Qin Hao was faking it.

If this was just a casual remark...

What face does this level eight Soul Master have left?

It's impossible not to take it to heart.

"By the way, teacher, I have a request. Could you please help me?"

After offering his suggestion on the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, Qin Hao got down to business.

"Since we are so honest with each other, there's no harm in speaking frankly."

Qin Hao even gave him such a precious thing as the Complete Guide to Tang Clan Hidden Weapons.

He certainly wouldn't be fussy or indecisive.

Qin Hao stated directly, "I need 50 seventh-tier flying soul tools containing the special sixth-tier milk bottle feature."

"50 bodies?"

Xuan Ziwen was stunned.

The price of a flying soul tool is not much different from that of an invincible defensive shield.

A seventh-tier flying soul tool requires millions of gold soul coins.

A flying soul tool equipped with a baby bottle is even more expensive.

Baby bottles have always been strategic resources, resulting in consistently high prices. They can grant the user the ability to fight opponents of higher levels.

A single Tier 6 baby bottle soul tool requires nearly a million gold soul coins.

The production of baby bottles requires very precious rare metals. Even without labor costs, the cost of the rare metals alone would be hundreds of thousands.

50!

That's an astronomical figure!

The raw materials alone would require at least tens of millions of gold soul coins.

Apart from empires, no power can afford such expenditures.

"Are you having any difficulties?"

"The production itself isn't difficult, it just takes more time, but the raw materials..."

Xuan Ziwen originally wanted to give Qin Hao a few soul tools.

Qin Hao casually mentioned 50 seventh-tier flying soul tools; even if he sold himself, he couldn't afford to give them away.
