Douluo V: Starting with daily check-ins, I'm trying to trick Xiao Wu into becoming my wife.

With the complete illustration of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow personally handed over by Ao Yin, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School instantly sprang into action.

Ning Fengzhi acted swiftly and decisively, issuing the sect's highest directive immediately and mobilizing a large number of craftsmen, apprentices, and internal affairs personnel to fully engage in the research and development and mass production preparation of hidden weapons.

The entire sect's workshop was brightly lit, and all personnel were working at full speed, all in an effort to master this brand-new hidden weapon technique.

The sect leader's command resounded throughout the sect: "For the next few days, all of you will set aside your current affairs and follow Young Friend Ao Yin to learn from him!"

"We must thoroughly understand the forging principles, mechanisms, and assembly processes of the Ao Clan's hidden weapons, ensuring that everyone is proficient, so that the sect can independently mass-produce the Zhuge Divine Crossbow!"

This short command caused a huge uproar within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Aomen hidden weapons?

Aomen?

All the disciples and craftsmen were bewildered and filled with astonishment.

They were already very familiar with all the top sects and ancient forces in the Douluo Continent, but they had never heard of any Ao Clan.

No one knew when such a new force had quietly emerged on this continent.

What's even more shocking is that the dignified sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School actually attaches great importance to this unknown new sect, even going so far as to mobilize the entire sect's resources to fully cooperate with it.

Immediately, the entire sect was abuzz with discussion, and all the disciples were secretly trying to find out about Ao Yin's background.

"I've never heard of the Ao Clan, but this Ao Clan Master is definitely no ordinary person!"

"I've heard! He's the first man Miss Rongrong has ever personally brought back to the sect after her training expeditions!"

"That's not all! When he returned to the sect with Lord Bone Douluo, they encountered a massive beast tide and he even personally killed a high-level Soul Saint assassin!"

"But he looks so young, about the same age as Miss Rongrong, and his cultivation is only at the fourth-ring Soul Master level. How could he possibly possess such combat power?"

"Absolutely no exaggeration! On his very first day back at the sect, he decisively defeated two peak level 79 Soul Saints who had guarded the main hall for many years!"

"That's precisely why he received a personal audience from the sect leader, and even two titled Douluo elders held him in high regard!"

The rumors spread far and wide, and in just half a day, Ao Yin's name had spread to every corner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

From outer sect servants and ordinary disciples to inner sect core disciples and sect elders, everyone knows him.

Ning Fengzhi saw everything, but only smiled calmly, ignoring it all and letting things take their course.

He made no attempt to conceal his attitude, revealing openly and subtly that he had already regarded Ao Yin as the future son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

With the higher-ups' attitude made clear, the entire clan instantly and completely adopted the correct stance.

For a time, everyone treated Ao Yin with the utmost respect.

The core disciple stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Sect Leader Ao, all the forging materials you require have been prepared. Please feel free to give your orders at any time!"

A chef from the kitchen delivered a set of exquisite dishes: "Sect Leader Ao, these are special meals prepared by the sect's top-tier kitchen, featuring all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. If there's anything you'd like to eat, we'll expedite its preparation immediately!"

Some disciples even stepped forward to attend to his needs: "Sect Leader Ao, you must be tired from your journey. We'll help you relax and ease your muscles. Leave all the chores and rough work to us!"

Looking at the group of respectful and cautious Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples in front of him, Ao Yin could only shake his head and shrug helplessly.

It has to be said that Ning Fengzhi is really good at interpersonal relationships, which directly elevated his status in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to its peak.

If it were only Ning Rongrong who favored him, everyone would not be so reserved and respectful.

But now, the sect leader, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, the three highest authorities of the sect, have all expressed their support and given their full favor.

This caused everyone in the sect to show him even more awe than they would to the sect's patriarch.

Such extreme respect and treatment made Ao Yin feel somewhat uncomfortable for a while.

But he did not deliberately refuse or act coy.

He already had a plan in mind: in the future, he would personally strengthen the Ao Clan, establish a sect, and establish a foothold in Douluo Continent.

Today, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School bows down to him; in the future, his disciples will only become more numerous and stronger.

Ao Yin accepted this feeling of being adored by the masses with equanimity and was quite pleased with it.

Initially, the veteran blacksmiths in the sect who had been forging soul weapons for many years were not convinced.

They have dedicated themselves to forging techniques for decades, handling countless top-tier soul weapons, and are renowned throughout the forging world of the entire continent.

In their conventional understanding, only soul weapons imbued with soul power are truly top-tier weapons and the absolute main force on the battlefield.

In their eyes, the so-called nameless hidden weapons are nothing more than unorthodox and low-class tricks.

But when they actually opened the crafting manual for the Zhuge Divine Crossbow that Ao Yin had given them, everyone froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded.

On the blueprints, the structure is precise and complex, the patterns are neat and mysterious, and every mechanism and every inch of the construction is exquisite.

"What... what kind of weapon is this? It's not forged using the usual Soul Weapon forging logic at all!"

The crowd was filled with shock, and the more they looked, the more horrified they became.

They clearly saw that the Zhuge Divine Crossbow had an extremely high production threshold, with three intricate interlocking mechanisms inside, each checking and balancing the others.

The forging and assembly process allows no room for error; if even one step goes wrong, the entire crossbow is scrapped and completely destroyed.

What's even more ingenious is that the blueprints are marked with extremely clever anti-disassembly mechanisms.

If an outsider attempts to disassemble the crossbow and steal its structure, the internal spring will be triggered instantly, directly destroying the core components.

The core technology of the entire set of hidden weapons is completely locked, making it impossible for outsiders to imitate or copy it.

Without Ao Yin's authentic blueprints and exclusive process guidance, even the top forging masters on the mainland would have no chance of replicating it even slightly.

"This is no weapon; it's a masterpiece of art!"

The group of veteran forging masters were completely convinced and filled with respect, no longer harboring any contempt.

They humbled themselves and eagerly sought advice from Ao Yin, constantly asking him about the details of forging.

"Sect Leader Ao, the forging process for crossbow bolts is extremely rigorous. How should we control the heat during this quenching and shaping step?"

Ao Yin had already thoroughly mastered all the techniques of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu. He glanced at the blueprints and casually uttered two words: "Cold Extraction".

Concise and to the point, yet it gets straight to the heart of the matter.

Another master pressed further: "Sect Leader, can ordinary refined iron be substituted for the materials used in this step?"

"No."

Ao Yin shook his head slightly, his tone resolute, "This crossbow bolt must be forged with fire-thunder stone; the material is special, and neither can be missing."

He pointed to the twelve unique crossbow bolts listed in the encyclopedia and began to explain them slowly.

The Zhuge Divine Crossbow is not a single weapon; it comes with a full twelve unique arrows with distinct functions: Bone-Piercing Arrow, Thunderfire Arrow, Armor-Piercing Arrow, Blade-Splitting Arrow, Demon-Suppressing Arrow, Overlord Arrow, Netherworld Arrow, Dragon-Slaying Arrow, Desire-Extinguishing Arrow, Dragon Beard Arrow, Meteor-Destroying Arrow, and Seven-Kill Arrow.

Each arrow requires unique and rare materials, along with exclusive forging techniques, making them extremely expensive to produce.

The group of master forging experts were secretly astonished.

Such materials and costs are simply unaffordable for ordinary sects. Only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, backed by the wealthiest sect on the continent, can produce them at full capacity without any pressure.

Ao Yin looked at the shocked expressions on everyone's faces and chuckled calmly.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's resources have truly been used wisely this time."

"Twelve types of arrows, each with different characteristics. You can switch attributes by changing the firing slot, making them suitable for all battlefield scenarios."

"While its close-range burst damage is slightly inferior to that of the Peacock Feather, its range far exceeds that of conventional concealed weapons, making it most suitable for large-scale team battles for suppression and positional warfare."

Many high-level Soul Weapon Masters present still harbored doubts and couldn't help but whisper their skepticism.

"A hidden weapon is still just a hidden weapon. No matter how powerful it is, can it really harm a true Soul Master?"

Faced with everyone's doubts, Ao Yin simply uttered a powerful and impactful statement.

"A top-tier arrow, when fully activated, can break through the defense of a level 60 Soul Emperor."

boom!

Everyone in the audience gasped instantly, their scalps tingling, and a huge wave of emotions surging within them!

It can threaten a level 60 Soul Emperor!

At this moment, everyone finally woke up and understood the real reason why Ning Fengzhi was willing to do anything to win over Ao Yin!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's entire staff consists of support-type Soul Masters, who are weak in attack and defense, and whose ability to protect themselves has always been the sect's biggest weakness for millennia.

However, if every disciple in the sect were equipped with the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, the ranged attack power would be maximized, and the ability to protect oneself would increase exponentially!

The sect's overall combat strength will leapfrog to a whole new level!

The shortcomings have been completely addressed, and the sect's foundation has undergone a complete transformation!

Having grasped this point, all the master blacksmiths had burning eyes and solemn expressions. They all bowed and clasped their hands in unison, speaking with utmost seriousness.

"We will work day and night, giving it our all, and we will not let down the Sect Master and Sect Leader Ao!"

"We will definitely forge this peerless hidden weapon perfectly, to expand the sect's fighting strength!"

Ao Yin nodded slightly and smiled calmly.

With these top craftsmen dedicated to their research, and with complete and authentic blueprints as a guarantee, he doesn't need to spend too much energy worrying about it.

He only needs to occasionally point out key processes and correct minor errors, and mass production of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow will be a natural outcome.

After explaining everything, Ao Yin didn't linger. He turned around and walked straight towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Main Tower, the core of the sect.

He murmured to himself as he continued on his journey.

"Counting the days, it has been three days since I joined the sect, accumulating three system check-in opportunities, which can be used all at once."

Looking up, the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda is extremely magnificent and imposing.

The entire tower is carved and constructed based on the prototype of Seven Treasures Glazed Tile, with a clear emerald green as the main color, incorporating rich natural spiritual energy and the original rhythm of support-type Soul Masters.

The wooden and stone structure is simple and sturdy, with hexagonal eaves soaring into the sky, full of ancient Chinese charm.

The spire pierces the clouds, hovering high in the center of the sect, exuding a majestic aura that overlooks the world.

Having stood the test of time for thousands of years, every brick and tile of the tower exudes the profound heritage and majesty of a top-tier sect.

This place gathers the fortune of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School for tens of thousands of years, and is the feng shui core and spiritual source of the entire school.

A hint of anticipation flashed in Ao Yin's eyes.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a place where the fortunes of the sect converge, so it should not disappoint me."

With his mind made up, he stepped into the solemn and majestic Seven Treasures Pagoda.

[Ding! New check-in location has been updated: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!]

[Remaining check-in attempts: 3!]

[Sign in now?]

Standing inside the tower, Ao Yin's mind stirred, and he roared in a deep voice.

"System! Check-in!"
