Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 5 Zhuge's Divine Crossbow, hehe~

Days passed by, and before we knew it, it was time for the holiday.

As Ye Wenxin's adopted sister, how could he not bring her back for Old Man Ye Buyi to see properly? After all, this adopted sister had already become a sister in love.

However, Ye Wen also sighed during his spare time.

Ah Yin, who possesses innate full soul power, was abandoned by the Spirit Hall and sent to study in a remote place like Notting City simply because she is a Blue Silver Grass.

Even if we didn't know that the quality of a martial soul is linked to innate soul power, Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass could still be cultivated as a support soul master. And the growth potential of someone with full innate soul power is at least that of a beginner Soul Douluo. It's surprising that she was just let go like that.

It can only be said that these deacons of the Spirit Hall are truly incompetent and useless, each one a fugitive from the proper education of spirit masters.

Can't you tell it's such a huge mutated martial soul?

Didn't you know that the quality of a martial soul is linked to innate soul power?

That cute little girl isn't pleasing to the eye. *cough*

Getting back to the main point, Ye Wen didn't just cultivate his martial soul at Notting Junior Academy. He was familiar with the original work, but the various self-contradictory settings in the story were common, and Tang San Shao openly used cheat codes in the original novel.

Therefore, one cannot completely trust the original work; one must have one's own understanding of this world. So, in addition to cultivation, Ye Wen was also collecting all kinds of information to improve his theory of understanding this world.

Well, it's mainly my occupational hazard that's acting up.

Furthermore, Ye Wen also plans to pursue a scholarly path. After all, the average intelligence of the people on this Love Continent is truly worrying. A cultivation civilization that has developed for tens of thousands of years can't even grasp the core logic of spirit ring absorption, and then Yu Xiaogang comes up with some so-called theory of extreme spirit ring absorption. That's it?!

Isn't plagiarism something anyone can do?

Moreover, scholars don't have to fight all the time. To be honest, the more you understand this world, the more you will discover its abnormality. Despite being representatives of the extraordinary, those low-level Soul Masters have to fight and kill to earn that meager income, which is really speechless.

Moreover, Ye Wen knew that even with those healing soul skills, injuries sustained in battle were only temporary solutions. The meridians were not fully connected, the wounds were not disinfected, and the seemingly intact body was actually riddled with holes, which would further reduce future cultivation potential.

What's most frustrating is that the medical field in this world hasn't progressed at all. Tens of thousands of years have passed, and it's still the same old thing. Soul skills, soul skills, and still just soul skills.

They even ignore the medicinal herbs that grow abundantly in the forest. Ordinary people at the bottom of society, when they fall ill, can only endure the pain and wait to die; their average lifespan is no more than 30 years. It's truly pathetic and speechless. And this is supposed to be a supernatural world? It truly lives up to its name as a fantasy sewer.

Those Soul Master families who have some knowledge of medicine would not waste their energy researching medicines to treat ordinary people, much less condescend to refine medicines for ordinary people, since ordinary people cannot afford Soul Master products.

Therefore, he concealed his cultivation level, researched medicines, cultivated the Soul Master force, and used his theoretical expertise to benefit the lower-level Soul Masters. With this kind of persona, surely no bored Douluo powerhouse would dare to mess with him.

Do you even understand the value of highly intelligent people?

Ye Wen laughed wildly o(*￣▽￣*)o

However, all of this is still in the planning stages.

The reason for this idea is that, as mentioned in the original work, some top forces would assassinate the geniuses of other sects. If you don't have a background, you should honestly hide in a corner where no one can see you and develop your skills. Then, when you truly become successful, you will shock everyone. Don't think about messing around like Tang San in the original work. If it weren't for his good father, he would have died countless times long ago.

Therefore, if you have an ordinary background but top-notch talent, don't even think about joining a top sect. Who knows when a rival sect might take a dislike to you and assassinate you?

Ye Wen, who had been enrolled for a year, was also preparing for his first spirit ring, but his spirit had no attack power, as did Ah Yin's.

Although Ye Wen proposed the idea of ​​creating his own soul skill to A Yin based on his imagination, such as the skill of injuring people by flying flowers and picking leaves, strengthening the Blue Silver Grass with soul power and then throwing it with a powerful technique, it has a certain advantage in offense.

Unfortunately, the two were too young to put their ideas into practice, so they had to put them aside. Therefore, Ye Wen took a different approach and thought of a very powerful cold weapon from his previous life.

Pulley-combined crossbow

By utilizing the pulley system, the force required to draw the bow is reduced, multiplying the power of a standard hand crossbow several times over, and allowing it to be pre-drawn. Stored in a storage ring, it can be taken out at any time to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

After all, in the original work, Tang San's Zhuge Crossbow was a terrifying example of being able to instantly kill a Soul Master without them going all out in defense. This also shows that the defensive power of ordinary Soul Masters is really limited, unless they are defensive Soul Masters who specialize in defense.

Tang San's type of crossbow, with its mechanism-based bolts, is essentially just a crossbow made with springs or similar mechanisms. Its power is limited, given its size. However, even such a crossbow could kill a Soul Master. Imagine the impact of a composite crossbow incorporating modern technology. Even a Soul King would likely struggle to withstand such terrifying penetrating power.

So, what a piece of trash the Zhuge Divine Crossbow is (╬▔皿▔).

While making this composite crossbow, Ye Wen couldn't help but wonder what the point of Tang San's anti-counterfeiting structures were. Although Douluo Continent I didn't explicitly mention spirit-type soul masters, it didn't mean they didn't exist, especially since those cunning sects definitely had some understanding of this aspect.

Why not just use X-ray vision or a mental scan instead of dismantling it? It's just humiliating.

However, it was, after all, a weapon capable of killing a Soul King. Ye Wen had no choice but to be cautious. He disassembled his pulley-driven composite crossbow design into several parts, had each part forged by a different blacksmith, and then assembled them himself.

Looking at the exquisitely crafted crossbow with its metallic sheen, Ye Wen couldn't help but feel delighted.

I tried shooting the crossbow bolt, and it instantly pierced through a tree as thick as a child's waist. It then flew several meters and stuck in the ground, and this was from a distance of 30 meters.

Ah Yin was fortunate enough to witness this terrifying power, and looked longingly at Ye Wen, begging for it.

Seeing those alluring eyes, Ye Wen was also captivated, and then gave Ah Yin his ancestral storage soul tool.

It wasn't that Ye Wen was infatuated with women, but rather that the Soul Guidance Ring was now somewhat superfluous for him. After a year of research, he discovered that his Nabu Martial Soul had a built-in one-cubic-meter storage space, but so far it could only hold inanimate objects.

Moreover, I can now skillfully put things in and take things out. However, the downside compared to a storage ring is that storing things inside will continuously consume my soul power, but this consumption is so small as to be negligible.

Furthermore, this consumption can accelerate Ye Wen's cultivation speed, albeit slightly, but it's better than nothing. Therefore, Ye Wen always keeps his storage space fully utilized when cultivating.
