Chapter 78 Tang San's Hidden Weapons

On the second day of the short holiday, Han Feng was pestered by Ning Rongrong and Zhang Lingling all day long. Normally, Ning Rongrong would not dare to do this, but now that Zhang Lingling was backing her up, she was naturally happy to let Han Feng accompany her.

As evening approached, Han Feng and Ning Rongrong were also heading back to Shrek Academy. Zhang Lingling, however, did not plan to depart that night but instead intended to leave the next morning. Han Feng and the others would depart the day after tomorrow. By calculation, Zhang Lingling and Han Dang would arrive in Tiandou City a day later than Han Feng and the others.

This is also what Han Feng wanted.

After all, Han Feng knew that their first day of the Heavenly Battle would not be particularly peaceful.

After losing Zhang Lingling's "protection," Ning Rongrong became reserved again on her way back.

She realized that she had been a little too complacent today. Although she was happy, she was also worried that Han Feng would blame her.

Han Feng noticed her unusual behavior and rolled his eyes: "What's wrong with you now? You weren't acting so timid just now, and now you're scared?"

Ning Rongrong thought Han Feng was going to argue with her again, and her beautiful eyes trembled: "I'm sorry! I got carried away just now, I promise I won't do it again! Please forgive me! Just this once!"

Perhaps because of Zhang Lingling, Han Feng and Ning Rongrong were much closer today. For the first time, Han Feng found Ning Rongrong's timid appearance rather endearing. Since Han Feng wasn't angry to begin with, he helplessly flicked Ning Rongrong's forehead: "If Mom weren't here, I would have given you a good scolding today! Crying won't help!"

The moment Han Feng raised his hand, Ning Rongrong closed her eyes tightly, her delicate body trembling slightly with tension. But when she realized that Han Feng had only flicked her lightly, she opened her eyes in confusion, touched her brow blankly, and after hearing Han Feng's words, she knew that Han Feng was joking.

In an instant, Ning Rongrong felt a surge of joy!

She knew that starting today, Han Feng had changed his opinion of her. At least in Han Feng's eyes, she was no longer that unreasonable young lady or willful little devil!

The thought of this made Ning Rongrong extremely happy!

On the third day of the holiday, Tang San, who had been in seclusion forging hidden weapons, finally emerged. Excited, he woke everyone up early in the morning, ruining Han Feng's plan to sleep in once again.

Not only Han Feng, but Dai Mubai also looked completely drained of energy.

—It is said that Dai Mubai sparred with Zhao Wuji for a whole day yesterday. When it was over, Zhao Wuji even threw Dai Mubai back into his dormitory.

To Han Feng's surprise, it wasn't just him and Dai Mubai; Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were the same, and even Zhu Zhuqing looked like she was sleep-deprived!

Little did Han Feng know that after Ning Rongrong returned to the dormitory yesterday, she was subjected to a barrage of questions from Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing. After Ning Rongrong said that she had met Han Feng's mother, the three girls couldn't sleep at all and chatted until the early hours of the morning. Just as they fell asleep, Tang San woke them up.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun were in the same boat; during their two-day holiday, they hadn't seen the sun before 10 a.m.!

Tang San looked at the seven people with resentful expressions and gave an awkward smile.

Given Tang San's habits, he truly couldn't understand why anyone could wake up and eat lunch right away!?

In both his past and present lives, Tang San has cultivated the Purple Demon Eye for decades, and he has never missed a single day of the first wisp of purple light that rises with the sun every morning!

"Third Brother! What's the rush so early in the morning?!" Ma Hongjun yawned, holding a steamed bun in his left hand and scratching his messy hair with his right, and said with a resentful tone.

"Hehe..." Tang San chuckled, knowing that his seven companions were probably still half asleep, and without beating around the bush, he said directly, "I've been in seclusion these past few days forging hidden weapons, and they're finally finished today, so I thought I'd show them to you!"

"Oh?"

After Tang San finished speaking, everyone perked up. They knew the power of Tang San's hidden weapons, and Han Feng had even witnessed Tang San use the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow to instantly kill the two-thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider!

Seeing everyone's reaction, Tang San smiled gently, and with a flick of his finger on the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon at his waist, a pile of ironware appeared in front of everyone.

Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up, and he instinctively reached out to strike, but then, as if remembering something in an instant, the fat on his chubby face trembled violently, and he abruptly withdrew his hand. Looking at Tang San with a wary expression, he asked, "Third Brother... there shouldn't be any poison on this hidden weapon, right?"

Ma Hongjun was truly terrified. Last time, he had only accidentally touched the Eight Spider Lances on Tang San's back, and in a daze, he saw his grandmother standing on an ominous bridge waving at him. This time, he really dared not touch Tang San's things again.

Seeing the expression on Ma Hongjun's face, Tang San awkwardly touched his nose and explained, "Don't worry! These hidden weapons are all mechanical types, and none of them are coated with poison!"

Ma Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief and picked up a small hidden weapon. This weapon was equipped with three inconspicuous black arrows, but they gleamed coldly.

Upon seeing the sharpness of the arrow, Ma Hongjun instinctively shivered: "Third Brother! What is that?"

Tang San took the hidden weapon from Ma Hongjun and skillfully slipped it onto his wrist. As he demonstrated, he explained to the others, "This hidden weapon is called a sleeve dart. It's concealed in the sleeve or wrist. Its power isn't great, but its strength lies in its extreme stealth, making it impossible for the enemy to defend against!"

Ma Hongjun watched Tang San's movements and smiled somewhat awkwardly—he genuinely hadn't realized this thing could fit on his wrist; it was too small.

Tang San didn't pay any attention to Ma Hongjun. Instead, he concealed the hidden arrow with his sleeve, subtly raised his arm towards a secluded spot, and said to the group without changing his expression, "When using it, simply do this..."

As he spoke, Tang San suddenly bent his raised wrist!

"Whoosh whoosh!"

In an instant, three jet-black arrows shot out like three bolts of black lightning, piercing straight into a stubborn rock ten meters away. As the arrows disappeared into the rock, cracks appeared on its surface!

"Like this, by using the strength of your wrist to trigger the mechanism of the hidden arrows, you can shoot out three hidden arrows. The power is not too great, probably only enough to kill an ordinary soul beast with three or four hundred years of cultivation..." Tang San finished the second half of his sentence and walked leisurely towards the stubborn rock to retrieve the arrows.

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped in shock at what they saw!

Can this be called "not too powerful"?

It's important to know that this hidden blade doesn't require any soul power to activate. If you don't consider the wear and tear on the device, it can even be considered to have no consumption at all. Yet, it can, to a certain extent, give an ordinary person with no strength whatsoever the power to fight a hundred-year-old soul beast. But judging from Tang San's expression, he doesn't seem very satisfied!

"Outrageous! Outrageous!" As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai understood the value of the hidden blade very well—if the army could be equipped with this hidden weapon, its combat power would definitely increase several times over!

Han Feng remained relatively calm, but picked up another, even heavier-looking crossbow and muttered, "Is this the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow?"

"That's right! The Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is far more powerful than the hidden arrow. Theoretically, it can even penetrate the true body armor of a Soul Master!" Tang San explained to Han Feng after seeing his actions, but soon, as if remembering something, he smiled sheepishly: "Of course, if it's a defensive Soul Master like Han Feng, it'll be a stretch..."

"The Human-Faced Demon Spider died because of it, right?" Han Feng asked.

"Hmm... But that's because I hit the Human-Faced Demon Spider's vital point. Given the Human-Faced Demon Spider's size, if you don't hit its vital point, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow can only severely injure it at most! This is also the biggest drawback of mechanical hidden weapons..." Tang San was afraid that Han Feng had misjudged the power of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, so he quickly said.

"That's enough!" Before Han Feng could say anything, Dai Mubai interjected, "No normal Soul Master has the size of a Human-Faced Demon Spider!"

Han Feng nodded in agreement, not daring to underestimate them at all.

It must be admitted that on the current continent, any one of Tang San's hidden weapons from his previous life could be considered a powerful weapon. Han Feng knew of many things that were far more powerful than hidden weapons, but could he make them?

Han Feng even believed that if those yet-to-be-born ferocious beasts from Douluo Continent went to his previous life, to that world, they would be able to kill them!

However, limited by production technology and Han Feng's personal skill level, these things could only remain in Han Feng's mind.

Tang San was a little embarrassed by the praise and couldn't quite handle the excited expressions of the crowd.

Oscar swallowed hard and said to Tang San with some difficulty, "Third Brother... you've forged so many powerful weapons, what are you planning to do?"

Tang San was puzzled upon hearing this. After a moment of surprise, he said, "These are all for you! One set for each of you, a Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and a hidden dart!"

"They gave them to us!?" Oscar's pupils widened suddenly as he stared at Tang San in disbelief. "Third Brother, do you even know the value of these things!?"

Tang San smiled, raised his hand to calm Oscar down, and said matter-of-factly, "We're brothers. We're about to face a much bigger stage, so naturally we need something to protect ourselves!"

Tang San's words moved Oscar to tears!

As a support-type Soul Master, Oscar dreamed of having an attack method. Although Tang San's hidden weapons were external objects, they at least fulfilled half of his dream!

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong also looked surprised. They all had powerful backgrounds and understood the value of this far better than Ma Hongjun and Oscar. For a moment, they were at a loss for words.

Han Feng and Xiao Wu were the two with the calmest reactions.

As for Xiao Wu, she had been watching Tang San tinker with these things since she was a child, so she was used to it and wasn't too surprised.

Han Feng knew that the hidden blade and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow were only useful in the early stages, and their usefulness in the later stages was too small. They could not threaten anyone, at most they could threaten the Soul Sect. Their greatest use was to arm sect disciples and the imperial army, but Han Feng was a proletarian and nothing, so he really didn't need these things!

However, ultimate weapons like "Guanyin's Tears" cannot be mass-produced.
