Douro Continent

Chapter 526, Volume Twenty-Five: The Four Great Clans with Single-Attributes

Hearing Tang San's words, Titan's eyes lit up immediately. "Great idea, truly a great idea. From the perspective of Soul Masters, no matter how hard we try, we can never catch up with the Spirit Hall. If we can use equipment to narrow the gap between ordinary people and Soul Masters, then Soul Masters won't have such an absolute advantage. Especially low-level Soul Masters, they'll be in dire straits when facing an army equipped with such highly lethal weapons. Young Master, did you invent this or your master?"

Tang San had already prepared an answer to Titan's question. "I accidentally obtained a secret manual. This type of weapon is collectively known as a hidden weapon. Its greatest characteristic is its surprise. For example, the Zhuge Crossbow is only ranked in the middle among them. However, the more powerful the hidden weapon, the more complex it is to manufacture. I established the Tang Sect with the intention of promoting hidden weapons. Using hidden weapons as capital, we can trade with the Heaven Dou Empire. I think they will definitely like our equipment very much."

Titan laughed, his two massive hands blurring into a blur as he swept them across the ground. The scattered parts miraculously reassembled themselves, at a speed at least ten times faster than Tang San could assemble them himself. In just a few breaths, the Zhuge Crossbow was restored to its original state, a feat of incredible skill that left Tang San in awe.

"It seems that, young master, your sect will not only not make me spend money, but will actually make a fortune. No wonder you said that blacksmiths will no longer be humble. This will be a turning point for the entire blacksmithing industry!"

If Titan's previous decision to support Tang San was primarily based on his relationship with Tang Hao and Tang San's potential, then now his support is completely genuine, his gaze towards Tang San even filled with admiration. Promoting the blacksmithing industry was Titan's lifelong ambition, and he was even more excited than Tang San. If his son and grandson hadn't been there, he might have been overjoyed.

Tang San thought for a moment and said, "We must do all of this in secret. We also cannot have any dealings with the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family for the time being. As for the production of hidden weapons, I will move them over as soon as possible, and then we will begin the Tang Sect's operations. I have already reached an agreement with Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He will provide substantial financial support to the Tang Sect, and the reward he requires is the hidden weapons we produce. So, you don't need to worry about funding. However, we will need to collect some rare metals ourselves. Our Tang Sect's hidden weapons are not just for low-level Soul Masters. We want to make opponents at the Title Douluo level tremble in fear; that is my true purpose."

Titan chuckled and said, "Young Master, you don't need to worry about these things. I also have another identity: the vice president of the Continental Blacksmiths' Association. Purchasing rare metals won't be a problem. It just takes some time. In a few days, once the Tang Clan has stabilized, I'll personally go to Gengxin City. That's where the Blacksmiths' Association's headquarters is located, and it has the largest metal trading market. From there, we should be able to obtain quite a few good things. We can even recruit another batch of blacksmiths. How about this, Young Master, after I finish dealing with an important matter, I'll carry out a complete overhaul here. Since we're going to do it, let's go all out."

Upon hearing Titan's words, Tang San's first feeling was one of relief. Establishing a sect was no easy task, but with the support of Titan, a member of the Power Clan, and Titan's achievements in forging techniques, everything that followed would be much easier.

"Elder, I would like to accompany you to Gengxin City. I also want to see the splendor of this metal city."

Titan nodded and said, "Young Master, you've come at just the right time. If you had come tomorrow, you probably wouldn't have been able to see me again."

"Oh? Elder, are you going on a long journey?" Tang San asked in confusion.

Titan sighed and said, "Speaking of which, this is related to the Clear Sky Sect. Before the Clear Sky Sect closed down, it was the number one sect in the world, with numerous affiliated Soul Master factions, among which our four single-attribute sects were the most prominent. These included my Power Clan, as well as the Defense Clan, the Agility Clan, and the Destruction Clan. After the Clear Sky Sect encountered trouble and announced its closure, we also withdrew from the sect one after another. However, our four single-attribute sects have always helped each other, so we gather every two years. This year is the time for our gathering. Recently, the Spirit Hall has been very active, and the seven major sects will be re-elected in a year, so this gathering is essential. I will be leaving tomorrow to participate in this gathering. It will take at least a month. Please don't blame me, Young Master. I will leave Tai Nuo to assist you with the preliminary work for the establishment of the Tang Sect. Whatever ideas you have, let him implement them."

Tang San's heart stirred. "Elder, if I were to go with you, would it be convenient? I understand that the four independent sects were forced to leave the Clear Sky Sect back then. Because of the conflict between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall, they probably haven't been doing well these past few years. I'd like to try making contact with them. Perhaps…"

Titan waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "Young Master, it's no problem for you to come with me. However, the patriarchs of the other three clans harbor even deeper resentment towards the Haotian Sect, and they are all extremely stubborn individuals. These past years have been far more than just unpleasant; they've been ostracized to the point of not daring to show their faces. Even if the Haotian Sect reopens its seal, they will never serve the sect again. If you hope to gain their support, you'll probably be wasting your breath."

Tainuo interjected, "They all harbor deep resentment towards the Clear Sky Sect, especially the Breaking Clan. Because of the Clear Sky Sect, they were attacked by the Spirit Hall, and nearly half of their clan was destroyed. They haven't recovered even now. Meanwhile, the Clear Sky Sect closed itself off at that time, only concerned with self-preservation, which chilled everyone's hearts."

Tang San sighed. He knew that the Clear Sky Sect was indeed in the wrong in closing itself off. However, at that time, the Clear Sky Sect was facing a huge crisis. His father had clashed with the Spirit Hall, his grandfather, the former sect leader, had passed away, and his uncle had only recently succeeded as sect leader, making the situation within the sect extremely unstable. Closing the sect was a last resort for self-preservation. But it was the smaller clans that relied on them that suffered the most. Since the Spirit Hall couldn't find the Clear Sky Sect, they naturally took their anger out on them. One could imagine the hardships they had endured over the years. Not only did they have to live a life of hiding, but even the Power Clan was probably in a better situation.

"The Clear Sky Sect has wronged them, Elder Titan. Let me go with you. We should try to resolve this. Even if they don't return to the Clear Sky Sect in the future, I hope to do something for them and try my best to make up for the trauma they have suffered over the years. What do you think?"

Titan looked at Tang San with some surprise, his expression softening. "Young Master, you are no less sharp than your master back then, but you are more comprehensive in your approach to things. With your words, I will certainly do my utmost. However, it would be best if you didn't have too high hopes."

How can you prove something is impossible without even trying? Tang San stood up and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. I'll head back first. The establishment of the Tang Clan will be postponed. I'll meet you early tomorrow morning to attend the gathering of the four single-attribute clans."

The three Titans escorted Tang San to the gate and watched him leave.

Tainuo looked at his father, then at his son, and couldn't help but say, "Young Master is so composed; he doesn't seem like a young man who is only in his early twenties."

Titan smiled slightly and said, "I really hope to see the Clear Sky Sect rise because of the young master. It's also a good thing that the young master established the Tang Sect. We will not return to the Clear Sky Sect either. From now on, the Power Clan will belong only to the Tang Sect. Titan."

"Grandpa," Tyrone replied respectfully.

Titan said, "Tomorrow you will also attend the gathering with me and the young master. You should stay by the young master's side and learn as much as you can. As long as you can learn even a fraction of what he can, I can entrust the Power Clan to you with peace of mind. You are considered to have rare talent in the clan. What you achieve in the future depends on how much you can learn from the young master. Taino, after we leave, the clan is in your hands. During our absence, you will renovate the clan's buildings. We will discuss the initial renovation procedures when we return."

"Yes, Father."

Back at Shrek Academy, Tang San went straight to his lodgings, where the four of them were now living. He didn't hide anything from Oscar and the others, briefly explaining his plans and the support from the Power Clan.

"Xiao Ao, you and Rongrong have finally reunited, why don't you stay at the academy? Fatty, are you coming with me tomorrow?"

Ma Hongjun chuckled and said, "Alright, I'm just idling around anyway. In any case, I'll be the deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan from now on."

Ning Rongrong laughed and said, "Third Brother, you can't be biased. You let Fatty be the deputy sect leader, and I want to be one too."

Tang San said somewhat helplessly, "Whatever you want. As long as Uncle Ning has no objections, I agree."

Oscar said, "Little San, let's all go with you tomorrow. Since you know that the four single-attribute clans harbor deep resentment towards the Haotian Sect, it's better for us to be together if they try to harm you."

Tang San shook his head and said, "You should stay here. Even if the four single-attribute clans harbor deep resentment towards the Clear Sky Sect, the Clear Sky Sect can be considered their birthplace. They won't do anything to me. Besides, we also need to make some preparations here. Rongrong, please tell Uncle Ning that I will be back in a month or two at the latest."

Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement, "Third Brother, you must be careful on your journey. Are you taking Xiaowu with you?"

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu in his arms, nodded, and said, "I won't be separated from Xiao Wu again. Don't worry, with the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch, I will protect Xiao Wu first if we encounter danger."

Oscar thought for a moment and said, "My Mirror Replication Intestine will have limited use for you. Once used, it will block your original abilities. So I won't make any for you. Xiao San, if you have anything else to tell us, leave it to us. We're all brothers, so don't be shy. The Spirit Hall is our common enemy."

After five years of experience, Oscar is much more composed than before.

Tang San thought for a moment and said, "Not yet. You should continue your cultivation at the academy. If you have time, you can go to the auction house and buy some rare metals. Just ask Uncle Ning for the money. Uncle Ning will fully support us financially."

After bidding farewell to Master, Flander, and others, Tang San and Ma Hongjun returned to the Power Clan early the next morning.

Titan had already made preparations. After discussing the preliminary renovation plan for the internal buildings of the Power Clan with Tang San, he handed it over to Tai Nuo for execution, and then the group set off.

Titan brought a small group. Besides Tyron, there were four second-generation disciples of the same generation as Taino. All of them were over forty years old and had Soul Kings with Soul Power exceeding level fifty.

Tang San still held Xiao Wu in his arms. When there was no danger, he couldn't bear to let Xiao Wu be lonely in the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch. Although Xiao Wu's original form had no consciousness, it was very obedient and attached to Tang San. Perhaps because the effects of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red had not been fully absorbed, it liked to sleep in Tang San's arms the most.

Since eight people couldn't travel on foot, Titan specially arranged for two carriages from the sect. He, Tailong, Tang San, and Ma Hongjun rode in one carriage, while the four clansmen rode in the other.

Despite the impressive stature of everyone, the Power Clan's carriage was quite large, pulled by four strong horses, yet still spacious enough for four people. As for food, it was carried by soul tools, requiring no additional space inside the carriage.

Both Ma Hongjun and Tang San were riding in a carriage for the first time. The carriage was very stable and had thick, soft cushions. It was a crisp autumn day with cool air outside. Pulling back the curtains, a cool breeze blew in, creating an indescribably pleasant atmosphere.

Sitting in the carriage, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but exclaim, "Elder, this carriage is really comfortable! I can hardly feel any bumps!"

Titan said with some pride, "This was made by ourselves. The chassis of the carriage is made of refined iron, and there are sixteen thick springs underneath to filter out bumps, making it perfect for long-distance travel. If the carriage itself weren't so heavy, we wouldn't need four horses to pull it. The coachman is also a disciple of the sect."

Tang San smiled and said, "I truly didn't recognize your greatness before. I never imagined you were a master blacksmith. I haven't had a chance to ask you yet, where are we going to meet up with the other three races?"

Titan said, "This journey is not short. We will have to cross half of the Heaven Dou Empire and enter the Star Luo Empire. We will meet them in Longxing City, not far from the border between the two empires. This gathering is hosted by the Yu Clan. They are based in Longxing City and are considered the most successful clan besides our Li Clan. Young Master may not know much about the four major clans. Since we have nothing to do on the road, I will tell you about our four single-attribute clans."

This was also what Tang San wanted to know most right now, so he immediately focused his mind and listened to Titan's explanation.

Titan said, "The four single-attribute clans weren't established at the same time. They were originally affiliated sects of the Clear Sky Sect, and their initial clan leaders were all relatives of the Clear Sky Sect. Our Power Clan, for example, was the earliest established among the four clans. My great-grandmother was a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect, and my great-grandfather was incredibly powerful, nearly a Title Douluo. He also had a passion for forging, and with the support of the Clear Sky Sect, the Power Clan was established, becoming affiliated with the sect. Later, it gradually became one of the Clear Sky Sect's important sources of income. None of the four single-attribute clans are particularly strong." "Young Master should have seen it too. The only advantage of our Strength Clan is our immense strength. Against Soul Masters whose Soul Skills are countered, we're completely helpless. That's why the Spirit Hall pays no attention to us. To put it bluntly, the Strength Clan is all about strength and resilience. The Defense Clan is similar to us, except we rely more on brute force, while they rely more on their thick skin and tough hides. In terms of defense, the Defense Clan is no less formidable than the Elephant Armor Sect among the Seven Great Sects; their Martial Soul is the Plate-Armored Giant Rhinoceros, only their attack power cannot compare to the Elephant Armor Sect."

"The other three clans were all established within the last hundred years, and their history is not as long as that of our Strength Clan. However, each of the four major clans has its own specialty, which makes up for the shortcomings of the Clear Sky Sect. For example, our Strength Clan is good at forging, while the Defense Clan is good at construction. When the Clear Sky Sect was rebuilt, the Defense Clan was responsible for all the construction. The Agility Clan is good at reconnaissance. Because they focus on cultivating speed, their agility is extremely amazing, making them the best scouts. The Destruction Clan is mainly offensive, and they are good at medicine making."

"Right now, our Strength Clan is the most successful, having established itself in Heaven Dou City. Although the Destruction Clan suffered heavy losses in the past, their medicines are popular in any country, so their situation is similar to that of the Royal Clan. Only the Agility Clan is currently in the worst situation. They are unwilling to join other Soul Master clans and do not have any good means of making a living. If it weren't for the frequent assistance from the other three clans, the Agility Clan would probably have declined even faster."

After hearing Titan's explanation, Tang San gained a basic understanding of the four single-attribute clans. He thought to himself, "No wonder the Clear Sky Sect was once the number one sect in the world; even its affiliated four single-attribute clans have such outstanding specialties. It's a pity that the sect closed itself off too hastily back then and failed to retain these talents. Otherwise, it would have been much easier for the Clear Sky Sect to rise again."

"Elder, you just mentioned that the Po Clan is skilled in medicine making. What kind of medicine can they make?" Tang San asked.

Titan said, "I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but it seems they can concoct medicines to cure diseases and save lives, but they can also make poisons. Among the four clans, the Broken Clan is arguably the most mysterious. Back when they were affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect, they were the most distant from the sect and kept their clan's medicines extremely secret. The old sect leader once harbored resentment towards them. Yet, they were the ones most severely implicated by the sect. It's truly unfortunate."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Tang San's mouth; he already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

"Elder, how many clansmen are there in total across the four clans?"

Titan said, "Our Strength Clan has over two hundred direct descendants, and over five hundred including family members. Among the other three clans, the Defense Clan and the Agility Clan are in similar situations to us, while the Destruction Clan probably has just over a hundred direct descendants. Their strength is far from recovered."

Tang San said thoughtfully, "If that's the case, the four clans with a single attribute combined would have nearly a thousand people."

Titan said, "Back when the Clear Sky Sect was at its peak, its direct descendants numbered only about three hundred, but its affiliated Soul Masters approached five thousand. These were further divided into several smaller clans, with our four independent clans being the most prominent. When the Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion, it was like a tree falling and its monkeys scattering. Only a very few remained. Our four clans were directly subjected to immense pressure from the Spirit Hall. Without support from the sect, we were forced to disintegrate. The smaller clans scattered even faster, many choosing to be absorbed by the Spirit Hall. It can be said that although the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall never truly fought, the sect had already suffered a major defeat when it went into seclusion. If not forced into it, who would willingly abandon their homeland and break away from their sect?"

As Titan finished speaking, his tone became noticeably heavy. One could imagine how devastating the blow must have been to their affiliated clans, given that a former giant of the Soul Master world had fallen without even a fight.

The carriage fell silent, but the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

After a long pause, Titan spoke again, "Actually, I know that this choice is the wisest one for the sect. The old sect leader has passed away, and the new sect leader has just taken over. Our master has also killed the Pope. Our Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall are mortal enemies. Even if the Spirit Hall launches a full-scale attack, they have sufficient reasons. Even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are willing to help us, the Clear Sky Sect has a greater than 70% chance of being destroyed. Choosing to go into seclusion will undoubtedly preserve the Clear Sky Sect's true strength. Although the affiliated clans have dispersed, the sect's own power has not been lost. If the sect is re-established in the future and has the power to contend with the Spirit Hall, why would we fear a lack of spirit masters who would flock to us?"

The old man's voice was filled with sorrow; he was indirectly telling Tang San that ordinary soul masters and clans were nothing more than pawns in the hands of powerful forces. When the time came to discard them, they would be kicked aside. This was a major reason why they harbored such resentment towards the Clear Sky Sect.

Taking a deep breath, Tang San didn't know how to comfort the old man in front of him; empty words were meaningless.

"Young Master, I have a request." Titan's gaze suddenly turned fervent.

"Elder, please speak," Tang San hurriedly said.

Titan said in a deep voice, "If the Clear Sky Sect returns in the future and you wish to merge with it, please allow me to lead the Power Clan to withdraw from the Tang Sect."

Tang San stated without hesitation, "This situation will never happen. Tang Sect is Tang Sect, and Clear Sky Sect is Clear Sky Sect. Although I am a descendant of Clear Sky Sect, I have never thought of establishing Tang Sect as a Soul Master Sect. It is even more impossible for us to merge."

Hearing this, Titan's expression visibly relaxed. "I'm relieved that you say so, young master."

The Tang Clan is the Tang Clan; it holds all of Tang San's memories from his previous life. His only thought when he first arrived in this world was to carry forward the Tang Clan's glory in this other world. How could he easily hand the Tang Clan over to someone else? Not to mention merging with the Clear Sky Sect and handing over the power to the Clear Sky Sect.

To prevent Titan from continuing to dwell on painful memories, Tang San said, "Elder, you are a titan in the forging world, and the journey is long. Why don't we discuss hidden weapons instead?"

Upon hearing the words "hidden weapon," Titan immediately perked up and exclaimed, "The design blueprints that the young master obtained are truly ingenious. Although I can see through them, I certainly couldn't design them myself."

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "Actually, there are many hidden weapons more powerful than the Zhuge Crossbow. Among them, there is a type of hidden weapon that is not large, only a foot long, but cylindrical. If it could be manufactured, conservatively speaking, it could at least break through the defense of a Soul Saint-level Soul Master, including their Martial Soul True Body. Even a Title Douluo would probably be severely injured if caught off guard."

Titan's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "There are such powerful hidden weapons?"

Tang San nodded affirmatively and said, "However, it is extremely difficult to manufacture. Not only are the requirements for materials extremely high, but the manufacturing process is also extremely meticulous. Even the slightest error, such as the finest hair, cannot be produced."

Titan was a renowned figure in the forging world. Upon hearing Tang San's words, he became eager to try it. "Young Master, what is the name of this hidden weapon? Do you have the design blueprints? I dare not speak for others, but in terms of craftsmanship, if I cannot make it, then probably no one else can."

Tang San said, "I have memorized all the design drawings of that secret manual. I can give you a brief explanation. When this hidden weapon is launched, it is like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, brilliant and dazzling. In the moment of dazzling brilliance, it has already taken a life. That is why it is called the Peacock Feather."

Titan exclaimed, "Excellent, excellent Peacock Feather! If it's as you say, we can produce a large number of Peacock Feathers, then what do we have to fear from the Spirit Hall?"

Tang San smiled wryly, "It's not that easy. Although the Peacock Plume is incredibly powerful, not only is its manufacturing process extremely difficult, but the requirements for materials are also very high. Otherwise, how could it break through the defenses of a Soul Saint? The Peacock Plume must be made of Xuan Iron. Only mechanisms and projectile weapons made of Xuan Iron can achieve that kind of power."

Titan was taken aback. "Mysterious Iron? What kind of metal is that? I've never heard of it."

Tang San's heart stirred. He thought to himself, "In my previous life, it was called Xuan Tie. Perhaps it's not called that in this life. Xuan Tie is an extremely rare metal. It is several times heavier than ordinary refined iron of the same volume. Weapons can become sharp weapons if they are mixed with a small amount of Xuan Tie. If a weapon is made of pure Xuan Tie, it can almost completely counter most metal weapons."

A thoughtful glint appeared in Titan's eyes. "Could the black iron you're talking about be the same as the black-veined iron? The effects of black-veined iron and the black iron you described seem similar. It is indeed extremely rare. Its price is much higher than gold, and it has always been the king of metals used for forging."

Upon hearing Titan's words, Tang San was overjoyed. His greatest fear was the absence of Xuan Tie in the world. Its scarcity was normal, but as long as it existed, the Peacock Plume could be manufactured.

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "It seems that after this gathering of the four major single-attribute clans, I really will have to go to Gengxin City, the metal capital, with you. I hope we can make some gains."

Titan's interest had been completely piqued by Tang San. "Young Master, tell me quickly, what is the design of this Peacock Feather?"

Tang San said, "The Peacock Feather is one of the most powerful mechanism-based hidden weapons recorded in my secret manual. It is cylindrical, one foot long, with a cross-sectional diameter of three inches. It has two buttons. The first button is for engaging the mechanism, similar to the Zhuge Crossbow, designed to prevent wear and tear from prolonged engagement. However, the Peacock Feather's mechanism is far more sophisticated than the Zhuge Crossbow's; a simple press completes the process instantly. The second button is for firing, and it is said to be inescapable even for ghosts and gods. The entire Peacock Feather is divided into three main parts: the feather body, the internal mechanism, and the assembly of the hidden weapons. The most difficult part to manufacture is the internal mechanism, which is extremely complex. The Peacock Feather contains a total of 365 hidden weapons." This is a single-use projectile. Once launched, it can cover an area of ​​tens of square meters. The 365 hidden weapons are divided into twelve categories, all needle-shaped due to their size. Some are made of black iron, while others are made of special materials. Black iron is used not only to enhance the weapon's lethality but also for its weight. Without sufficient weight, the weapon's power after launch is naturally limited. After launch, the maximum range of power is within 30 meters; beyond 30 meters, the power gradually weakens, extending at most to 50 meters. The twelve types of hidden weapons included are: Bone-Piercing Needle, Thunderfire Needle, Armor-Piercing Needle, Blade-Splitting Needle, Demon-Suppressing Needle, Overlord Needle, Netherworld Needle, Dragon-Slaying Needle, Desire-Extinguishing Needle, Dragon Beard Needle, Meteorite-Destroying Needle, and Seven-Kill Needle.

"These twelve types of needles encompass almost all the most typical and powerful needle-type hidden weapons. Each has a different manufacturing method, style, and materials. For example, the bone-piercing needle is primarily for piercing; it is thin at the front and round at the back, made entirely of black iron, with eight blood grooves on the tiny needle. The distance between each groove must be exactly the same, giving it extremely strong piercing attack capabilities. The thunderfire needle contains a substance called explosive, and its outer skin is also made of black iron, but the explosive must be highly concentrated so that the explosive force upon impact can shatter the black iron, increasing its lethality. The armor-piercing needle's function is somewhat similar to the bone-piercing needle, but the bone-piercing needle targets more of the body's protective soul power, while the armor-piercing needle..." That's right, it's about physical defense. For example, the thick skin of someone like the Elephant Armor Sect member will be useless against the Armor-Piercing Needles. Other needles, like the Netherworld Needles, are highly poisonous. The Dragon-Slaying Needles instantly paralyze the enemy, increasing blood circulation tenfold. Without timely treatment, it can cause the heart to burst and lead to death. The Dragon Whisker Needles are made from the finest crystal, gold-infused crystal; upon entering the body, they instantly contract and curl, causing the opponent unbearable agony. As for the most powerful needles, the Meteorite Needles and the Seven Kill Needles, they can kill instantly. With these twelve divine needles unleashed in an instant, unless the opponent's defense is so strong that even the Peacock Feather Needles cannot penetrate them, being hit by just one of them is practically certain death.

Tang San's explanation was actually quite simple, but it still sent chills down Titan's spine. When Tang San first mentioned the Peacock Plume's ability to destroy Soul Saints, Titan hadn't quite believed it. But after hearing Tang San's description of the twelve types of needles, Titan suddenly realized that he might have been incredibly narrow-minded before. If these hidden weapons could truly be manufactured, then let alone Soul Saints, even a Soul Douluo like himself might not be able to stop them.

"No wonder the young master said these hidden weapons are extremely difficult to manufacture; I've truly broadened my horizons. Just the manufacture of these twelve types of needles alone is incredibly difficult. Not to mention the peacock feather body that can hold them all. To make this thing, extremely detailed blueprints are required. At the same time, various rare metals are also indispensable. Even among the Power Clan, I'm afraid only myself and two other brothers possess this craftsmanship. It's laughable that I was just thinking of mass-producing them. To generate immense power, the effort required is equally immense!"

Tang San smiled slightly. In fact, if given enough time, he could also make the Peacock Plume. The three lost secret hidden weapons of the Tang Sect were the Peacock Plume, ranked third, the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, ranked second, and the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus, ranked first.

He even managed to create the Buddha's Wrath Lotus through his own research. Given enough time, it wouldn't be impossible for him to create the other two types as well.

I'm asking for your minimum monthly votes at the beginning of the month, thank you.
