Chapter 530 Breaking Through Defenses, the Power of the Chaotic Cloak

When Tang San practiced under the waterfall, his feet were on smooth round stones, which greatly honed his balance. Now, for the first time, he unleashed his inner soul power, giving him a feeling of exhilaration.

Finally, the last of the eighty-one hammer blows was unleashed, and a dense white light instantly magnified. This was not only Tang San's attack power, but also the killing god domain he released. He had spared no effort in order to subdue the Yu clan.

Titan roared, "Old Rhino, use your Martial Soul!"

At this moment, Niu Gao no longer cared about saving face; after all, life was far more important than pride. His already broad body rapidly expanded, his skin instantly turned black, and an extremely thick layer of keratin suddenly emerged. His first, second, and third spirit rings—requiring the least spirit power and releasing the fastest energy—simultaneously shone brightly. Niu Gao's imposing body truly became a fortress.

boom--

The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, once fully charged, is absolutely terrifying. Even without the Clear Sky Hammer's assistance, the final hammer strike, infused with the combined power of Tang San's eighty-one strikes of soul energy, still unleashes astonishing power in an instant.

The power unleashed by that punch was as domineering as a dragon's roar and a tiger's howl. The terrifying power that had once caused a two-hundred-meter waterfall to flow backward was displayed once again, and the magnificent soul power suddenly devoured that powerful body. The overwhelming explosive force exploded instantly.

With a deafening roar, Niu Gao's massive body flew out like a cannonball. Affected by the Killing God Domain, Tang San's attack power increased further, while Niu Gao's defense decreased. With this shift in power, the attack effect became even more terrifying.

The mountain-like body flew through the air and slammed straight into the wall of the hall, creating a human-shaped gap.

It must be said that the buildings of the Royal Clan are quite sturdy. Although the entire hall shook violently, it did not collapse.

Tang San's spinning body had stopped, his chest heaving. Without the aid of the Clear Sky Hammer, the power of his Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique was greatly reduced, and his own consumption was significantly increased. All eighty-one strikes had caused his soul power to plummet by nearly 50%.

Titan strode up behind Tang San, placed a hand on his shoulder, and channeled his soul power into him. Although the abundant soul power couldn't replenish his energy, it could help regulate his breathing.

Hurried footsteps sounded from outside. Niu Gao had been so engrossed in his intimate conversation with Titan that he had even forgotten to order tea. But the commotion had alerted the entire Yu clan.

With a whoosh, at least twenty people poured in from outside, each one incredibly robust. The leader bore an eight-tenths resemblance to Niu Gao, only much younger. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Titan.

"So it's Uncle Titan. Oh, you're here. Where's my dad? What was that noise just now?" The burly man asked with some confusion as he respectfully bowed to Titan.

Titan glanced at Tang San, his expression turning extremely strange. He'd come to be a guest, yet he'd blasted the host out of the wall. He certainly wasn't worried about Niu Gao's health. If Tang San used the Clear Sky Hammer, he might actually be able to injure him. But bare-handed, even the Eighty-One Strikes of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique wouldn't be able to cause real damage to Niu Gao, who had released his martial soul.

Tailong whispered in Tang San's ear, "His name is Niu Ben, the eldest son of Grandpa Niu Gao. He's also a good friend of my dad. His talent is much stronger than my dad's. His soul power cultivation should be about the same as the young master's."

Before Titan could answer, the master returned. Niu Gao, covered in dust and dirt, crawled in through the hole. His clothes were torn in many places, and his martial spirit had been retracted, but his dusty appearance and strange expression were hilarious.

Niu Ben and the rest of the Yu clan stared at Old Niu Gao in disbelief, completely stunned. Niu Ben even rubbed his eyes hard to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

"Uncle Titan, this is not right of you. Why are you bullying my dad as soon as you arrive!" Niu Ben said to Titan, barely suppressing his laughter. Because of his relationship with Tai Nuo, and because Titan had watched him grow up and they were very close, he didn't hold back much.

Titan laughed and said, "Who told your dad to be so stubborn? I beat him up, didn't I? It's alright, it's alright, it was just a friendly spar between two old men. Didn't you see when your uncle got the short end of the stick? Don't take your dad's side!"

Niu Gao glared at Titan, who was clearly covering for him. Enraged, he vented his anger on his son, yelling, "You bastards, who let you in? Didn't you see I was catching up with Chief Titan? Get out, all of you, get out!"

Niu Ben was over fifty years old, yet he couldn't retaliate at all when Niu Gao scolded him. Within the Yu clan, Niu Gao was the absolute authority. This explained why Niu Ben wanted to laugh when he saw his father get the short end of the stick.

"Alright, alright, Dad, don't be angry. I'll get out of here now. You two old brothers can continue catching up. I'll go prepare some food and wine for you." With that, Niu Ben quickly waved his hand and led a group of members of the Yu clan out.

Titan exclaimed, "Niu Ben is much better than our Tai Nuo. He's getting better and better at handling things. He hasn't inherited your bad temper yet. Not bad, not bad."

"Not bad my ass." Niu Gao was filled with resentment. He stormed over, dusting himself off. Although unwilling, he had no choice but to face Tang San.

"Boy, you win. I used my Martial Soul just now, so I don't need to hit you with the third punch. I keep my word. From now on, there will be no more hatred between our Yu clan, your father, and you."

Seeing Niu Gao's gritted teeth, Tang San couldn't help but smile. He could tell, of course, that Niu Gao's words didn't indicate any reconciliation with the Clear Sky Sect. But he didn't care. Although the Clear Sky Sect was his sect, he truly owed these affiliated sects far too much. That wasn't something that could be resolved in a short time, or with just one competition. It could only be dealt with slowly.

"It was your carelessness, senior, that allowed me to take advantage of the situation. In a normal battle, how could my opponent possibly give me so much time to build up my strength?"

Niu Gao snorted, "Alright, a loss is a loss. Do you think I'm the kind of person who won't admit defeat? You can stay this time."

Titan chuckled, "Judging from your attitude, it's like you're unwilling to admit defeat. Is that all? You lost to a young man even in your strongest defense. Aren't you going to offer anything?"

Niu Gao angrily retorted, "What does this mean? Does it mean I should lead the Yu clan to submit to him?"

Titan laughed and said, "No need for that. However, the young master and I are planning to establish a sect called Tang Sect. Would you be interested in joining? Now that the conflict between you, the master, and the young master has been resolved, there shouldn't be any obstacles, right?"

Niu Gao pulled up a chair and sat down. "Don't give me that crap. I knew you brought this kid here with bad intentions. Old gorilla, I think you're getting senile. Haven't you had enough of the Clear Sky Sect's tricks yet? Are you planning to subject us to another catastrophe?"

Titan shook his head helplessly. "Forget it, I can't explain it to you in a short time. I mean, Niu Gao, you're really neglecting your older brother. Shouldn't you get some tea first? And what will the tribesmen think if they see you like this? Go change your clothes."

Niu Gao glared at Titan with some displeasure. "Isn't this all your fault? I'm going to change my clothes." With that, he strode away.

Watching Niu Gao's retreating figure, Titan said to Tang San, "Young Master, you truly surprise me! It's amazing that you thought of such a thing, striking at Old Rhinoceros's strongest point. No wonder you insisted on coming with me; it seems you already had a plan. However, Old Rhinoceros is stubborn and won't give in so easily."

Tang San sighed softly and said, "Actually, I didn't want Senior Niu Gao to compromise on anything. I just hoped to try to resolve the hatred from back then. After all, we were once one family, and the current state of the four clans is all due to the Haotian Sect's closure. I just wanted to do something for the four clans. You don't need to force Senior Niu Gao to join our Tang Sect. As long as they no longer hold a grudge against my father, I will be content."

As the saying goes, a son pays for his father's debts, and Tang San is now beginning to repay his father's debts. He only hopes that in the future he can take his father's place, resolve the past hatred, and destroy the true enemy.

The two had barely exchanged that simple sentence when Niu Gao suddenly returned from outside, stood at the door, and asked Tang San, "Kid, what level is your soul power?"

Looking at the sullen but cheerful old man, Tang San respectfully replied, "This junior's soul power is level sixty-six. A control-type Battle Soul Emperor."

Niu Gao was taken aback. "Control type? When did the Clear Sky Hammer become a control type martial soul?"

Titan laughed and scolded, "Go change your clothes quickly. We'll talk about this when you get back; it's not something that can be explained in a few words."

Niu Gao glanced at Titan with some doubt before turning and leaving again, muttering to himself, "Level 66, 21 years old and level 66. Is he even human?"

Not long after Niu Gao left, servants brought him fragrant tea, clearly an order he had given on his first trip out. Meanwhile, members of the Yu clan began repairing the hole Niu Gao had made in the hall's wall.

Titan took a sip of tea and said to Tang San, "Young Master, you should be able to see that Niu Gao and I have an extremely good relationship. We've shared a life-or-death bond. To be honest, my hope that Niu Gao will lead the Yu Clan to join the Tang Sect isn't just for your sake, Young Master. It's more for my own selfish reasons. I'm getting old, and I really hope to live with my good brother of many years. We can look after each other and have companionship. I will try my best to persuade him. Although Niu Gao is honest and straightforward, he's definitely not stupid. I think he'll understand. If he's willing to lead the Yu Clan to join the Tang Sect, I hope Young Master will give this old man some face."

Tang San smiled and said, "If that's really the case, then I couldn't be happier! With the architectural expertise of the Yu Clan combined with your casting skills, wouldn't our Tang Clan become an impregnable fortress?"

Niu Gao hadn't been gone long; he returned shortly after changing into clean clothes. The first thing he said to Tang San upon entering was, "Kid, are you really level 66?"

Tang San nodded.

Niu Gao sat down next to Titan, a thoughtful look in his eyes. Titan didn't disturb him, letting him ponder on his own.

At twenty-one years old and level sixty-six, his defensive prowess was absolutely on par with any member of the same level from the Yu clan. And when had the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect ever lacked offensive power? Niu Gao's first thought was of Tang San's future prospects. Undoubtedly, within twenty years, Tang San would become a top-tier expert. And an extremely powerful one at that.

Even among Title Douluo, there's a significant difference in strength. Someone like Tang Hao at his peak could easily handle three ordinary Title Douluo simultaneously. Yet, he alone caused chaos within the Spirit Hall. Niu Gao understood that offending such a promising Soul Master would be detrimental to the future of the Yu Clan.

The Imperial Clan certainly has unique architectural skills; the holes in the hall walls have been sealed up in such a short time.

Titan said, "Old Rhino, I know what you're thinking. Don't overthink it. Let me reassure you. Have the servants leave."

Although Niu Gao didn't know what Titan was going to do, he still did as he was told.

Titan waved to his people, telling everyone except Tyrone and Ma Hongjun to wait outside the living room.

Niu Gao looked at Titan with some confusion, "Old gorilla, why are you being so secretive?"

Titan smiled calmly and said, "I just don't want you to blame me later. I also want you to know that an older brother is not someone who makes decisions lightly. Young Master, please let him see your martial spirit."

Tang San and Titan exchanged a glance, a tacit understanding in their eyes. Tang San stood up, a glint in his eyes, and raised his left hand. Amidst surging black light, the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his grasp.

Niu Gao looked at Tang San with suspicion, then asked Titan, "Old gorilla, haven't I seen the Clear Sky Hammer before? Hey kid, why don't you have any spirit rings?"

Tang San smiled slightly, "This junior's Clear Sky Hammer indeed does not have any spirit rings."

Titan said, "Don't rush, take your time."

Tang San flipped his left hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer was already backed up. Then, amidst a surge of blue light, he raised his right hand, and the blue-gold Blue Silver Emperor emanated from his body under the condensation of blue light, instantly filling the entire living room with a vibrant aura.

The moment the Blue Silver Emperor was released, Niu Gao stood up abruptly because he saw the six dazzling spirit rings that lit up on Tang San's body.

There was no white; the lowest color was yellow. Yellow, purple, and black were all familiar colors to Niu Gao, as he, as a Soul Douluo, naturally possessed soul rings of these three colors. However, when he saw that last, eerie crimson hue, his entire mind went blank.

"No surprise, the young master is never short of miracles. See? When I first saw it, my expression wasn't much better than yours now," Titan said with a sigh.

Tang San hadn't hidden anything from Titan. This old man, who wholeheartedly supported him, had already seen Tang San's terrifying 100,000-year spirit ring on the way. His expression then was almost identical to Niu Gao's now. Tang San didn't explain, only looking at his 100,000-year spirit ring with deep sorrow. Titan didn't ask any further questions. He understood that this was Tang San's trust in him, and the confidence he received.

Swallowing hard, Niu Gao murmured, "Ten thousand years... This really is a ten thousand year spirit ring... No wonder, no wonder your defense is so strong. But how could someone at your level absorb a ten thousand year spirit ring?"

Whenever Tang San saw the red spirit ring on his body, he couldn't help but recall the scene of Xiao Wu's sacrifice, and his expression immediately darkened. He carefully took Xiao Wu out of his Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch, "I'm sorry, senior. I don't want to answer your question. If I had a choice, I would rather not have this spirit ring." As he spoke, he slowly withdrew his martial soul.

Titan gave Niu Gao a wink, signaling him to stop asking. Niu Gao took a deep breath, and suddenly his expression changed drastically, as if he had remembered something. His voice trembled slightly as he said, "Wait, you, you have two martial souls?"

Ma Hongjun, who was sitting to the side, had long been getting impatient. "My third brother has twin martial souls! What's so strange about that?"

Niu Gao's eyes widened. "Little fatty, you make it sound so easy. How many twin martial souls have you ever seen?"

"Uh... this..." Ma Hongjun was at a loss for words.

Niu Gao breathed heavily for a few moments before looking at Titan again. "Brother, you brought him here this time to force me to gamble!"

Titan sighed and said, "I won't force you. The decision is yours. I just hope that we brothers can spend the rest of our lives together, just like before. To wrestle every day, to drink together. You should know I'm not a rash person. I have my reasons for making this decision."

Niu Gao said in a deep voice, "But you should already know. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, two major sects, have perished. It's obvious who did it. In the near future, our Soul Master world will probably be reshuffled. I have to consider my clan. The worst option for me here is to submit to the Spirit Hall. I must consider the continuation of the entire clan."

Titan said, "Our sect is not a traditional Soul Master sect. Simply put, we are more like merchants. Only, merchants with great military power."

Niu Gao was taken aback. "A merchant? I don't understand."

Tang San smiled and said, "We need income to support our sect and its members. Our Tang Sect's first client was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and they've been a long-term client ever since. I think our next client will be the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family. We can do business with anyone except the Spirit Hall."

Just then, Niu Ben walked in from outside. To avoid being scolded by his father, he knocked on the door before he reached it. "Dad, Uncle Titan, the food is ready. Would you like to eat and chat?"

Niu Gao nodded and said to Titan, "Let's go, we can talk while we eat."

Upon hearing that there was food, Ma Hongjun immediately became excited. He was starving and couldn't help but ask Niu Ben, "Is there any meat? I want big chunks."

Niu Ben laughed heartily, "Little fatty, our Yu clan lacks everything, but we don't lack meat. Although our martial soul is the plate-armored giant rhinoceros, we are all carnivores. There's plenty to go around."

Once at the table, Tang San immediately understood what Niu Ben meant by "meat-eaters." The entire table, three meters in diameter, was piled high with all sorts of meat. There were hardly any vegetables in sight.

Three jars of liquor were brought out, each weighing ten jin (5 kg). They were all strong liquor. Drinking heartily and eating large chunks of meat—that's probably a characteristic of a hearty and generous person.

Tang San had always thought he had a big appetite, but once he sat down at this table, he realized what it meant to be a novice compared to a giant. Not to mention Niu Ben and Tai Long, even the two clan leaders had astonishing appetites. They swallowed huge chunks of meat as if they didn't need to chew. Their wine bowls probably held over a pound of wine in one go. And Tang San didn't see them need a second sip of their wine.

"Hey kid, come on, let's drink!" Niu Gao raised a wine bowl to Tang San.

Tang San gave a wry smile. "Seniors, you guys should drink. If I down this big bowl of strong liquor, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit at the table."

Niu Gao frowned. "How can a young person not know how to drink? When I was your age, I could drink a lot."

Tang San laughed, "You have quite the capacity for alcohol now. Since you've invited me, I'll join you for a bowl." With that, he picked up the almost untouched wine bowl in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. As he drank, he used his Xuan Tian Gong to protect his throat, quickly letting the wine flow into his stomach, so he didn't taste anything at all.

Niu Gao also took a big gulp and laughed heartily, "That's right, this is the kind of boldness young people should have."

Tang San had never drunk alcohol like this before, and he rarely drank. At this moment, he felt a burning sensation in his stomach, which made his handsome face turn red, and he could no longer speak.

Just as Tang San was secretly regretting his impulsiveness, suddenly, his Xuan Tian Gong within his body stirred slightly, and a cold sensation merged into the intense heat. The flow of blood in his body seemed to accelerate, and the scorching sensation quickly turned into a warm current that flowed into his entire body. Not only did the pain disappear, but he also felt a refreshing sensation of smooth blood circulation.

Before, when I drank alcohol, it was only low-alcohol ale; this was the first time I'd ever tasted high-alcohol liquor. It was also the first time I'd experienced the sensations that high-alcohol liquor brings.

Actually, alcohol tolerance is closely related to physical condition. Tang San's physical condition is excellent; his body, honed through countless trials, has an extremely strong ability to absorb strong liquor. In particular, the cleansing effect of the two immortal herbs, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom, on his meridians, while not making him immune to all poisons, allows him to absorb a little strong liquor without much problem.

Alcohol can promote blood circulation in the human body, and drinking a small amount of alcohol is actually beneficial to the body. Tang San's body has the ability to tolerate it, so he can fully absorb this strong liquor.

Seeing Tang San drink a bowl of wine, his face turning bright red, Niu Gao immediately realized that this young man was probably not a heavy drinker. The fact that he could drink such a large bowl so readily, leaving him speechless, was already a great honor. Niu Gao couldn't help but feel a greater sense of goodwill towards Tang San.

Letting out a long breath, Tang San caught his breath and said to Niu Gao, "Senior, this junior's alcohol tolerance is really low, I'm afraid I can only drink this one bowl with you."

Niu Gao laughed and said, "Alright, I won't force you. I've finally regained some face at the dinner table. You're quite something, little guy. This is the first time I've been humiliated since I settled in Longxing City."

Tang San knew that the man still harbored some resentment towards him for defeating him earlier, so he smiled and said, "Actually, that was just a trick I used. In terms of true defensive ability, how could I possibly compare to you, senior?"

Niu Ben, who was standing to the side, felt something was off and wanted to ask, but Titan stopped him with a look.

Niu Gao said, "A loss is a loss. You don't need to flatter this old man. It seems I really am getting old."

Tang San said, "I'm not being modest. In fact, I gained a great advantage. It seems that my suggestion not to use soul skills was disadvantageous to myself. But in reality, it was disadvantageous to you, senior. Even if I used soul skills, the increase in my own defense would be far less than that of yours. Moreover, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique can only unleash its power when it is fully charged. I used my strengths to attack your weaknesses, and that's how I managed to gain your approval. If you had attacked with all your might from the start, I definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it. Rather than saying that I won, it would be more accurate to say that you cherished me."

Hearing Tang San's words, Niu Gao was stunned for a moment, but his originally depressed mood eased a lot. He laughed and said, "Good lad, you know how to talk. I don't remember the Clear Sky Sect having a disciple as eloquent as you before."

At this point, Niu Ben could no longer contain himself. His expression changed. "Dad, he's from the Haotian Sect? You…"

"Shut up." Niu Gao glared at his son. "Although he is from the Haotian Sect, I have already promised him that our grudges with the Haotian Sect will have nothing to do with him from now on. He was brought by your Uncle Titan, and from now on he will be a friend of our Yu Clan."

Niu Ben was stunned by his father's words. He knew how deep his father's resentment towards the Haotian Sect was. The fact that this young man could make his father give up that resentment must be more than just Titan's intervention.

Niu Gao drank another bowl of wine with Titan and asked, "Old Titan, tell me more about your Tang Clan."

Titan nodded and said, "Our Tang Clan is established within the residence of my Power Clan. Our main purpose is to manufacture a special weapon called hidden weapons, which we sell to enhance our own strength. Our Power Clan is renowned for its forging. Young Master has brought some excellent designs. If we can mass-produce them, they can be extremely lethal to low-level Soul Masters. Once successful, our forging industry will no longer be in such a lowly position. If handled properly, it could even threaten the Spirit Hall."

"A special weapon that can pose a threat to Soul Masters?" Niu Gao looked at Titan in disbelief. He didn't doubt Titan's words; he believed his good brother wouldn't speak without reason. But rationally, he found it hard to believe it was true.

Tang San took out the Zhuge Crossbow from his bosom. As the saying goes, seeing is believing, and no amount of explanation can compare to the power of the Tang Clan's hidden weapons.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, amidst the clanging of the mechanism, Tang San had already set up the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

"Senior, may I ask you to use your martial spirit to defend against it? That way you should be able to feel its power most realistically."

Looking at the small black box in Tang San's hand, Niu Gao became even more skeptical of Titan's explanation. Could something so small really be used to deal with a Soul Master?

Titan said, "Old Rhino, don't underestimate this thing. Within a certain range, its destructive power is quite formidable. I've tried it myself. It's truly amazing. Soul Masters below level 40 have a hard time resisting it, and even those above level 40, if they don't use defensive skills in time, being killed is not uncommon. You know the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, right? They were attacked at the same time as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. In the end, most of the direct disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were spared, not because the attackers showed mercy, nor because there were fewer experts attacking them than those targeting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. It was precisely because of this Zhuge Divine Crossbow that they played a crucial role. It was with hundreds of these hidden weapons that they were able to withstand the tidal wave of attacks from the attackers."

Niu Gao was taken aback. "Are you serious?"

Titan pointed to the Zhuge Crossbow in Tang San's hand, "You'll know once you try it yourself."

Without further hesitation, Niu Gao immediately released his martial spirit, and his pitiful upper garment was once again torn apart by the extremely strong defense. His first, second, and third spirit rings lit up simultaneously, and his entire body was covered in dense, plate-like black keratinous layers.

"Come on, kid. My current defense is no better than the full-force defense of a level 50 Soul Master."

"Senior, be careful." Tang San shouted in a low voice and pressed the button to fire the Zhuge Crossbow.

At such close range, almost no one could clearly see what the Zhuge Crossbow fired. All that could be seen was a blur, followed by a series of "poof" sounds appearing on Niu Gao's chest.

All sixteen crossbow bolts bounced back without exception. Tang San reached out and used the Crane Control Dragon Capture technique to retrieve the bolts into his hand.

All eyes were drawn to Niu Gao's chest, where sixteen neat white marks were visible on his thick defensive plate armor, each mark about half an inch deep.

Tang San couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Senior, what impressive defensive capabilities!"

Niu Gao grinned, rubbing the marks on his chest. The plate armor miraculously healed quickly. "It hurts a bit. Old gorilla, you weren't exaggerating. A Soul Master below level 40 definitely couldn't withstand this. How can something so small generate such power? It's unbelievable! When your Tang Sect is established, sell me a batch too. Our Yu Clan has always lacked offensive power. This thing is pretty good."

Titan chuckled. "This is just the ordinary kind; there are even more powerful ones. Truly top-grade hidden weapons are so potent that even a Soul Saint-level expert might not be able to withstand them. If you want to buy, I'll make the decision and give you a cost price. Young Master, what's the cost price of our Zhuge Crossbow?"

Tang San thought for a moment and said, "Let's say sixty gold soul coins."

"So expensive?" Niu Gao stared wide-eyed at Tang San. He knew his entire family was involved in architectural design and manufacturing, and their monthly income was only a few hundred gold soul coins. Not every clan was as wealthy as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Tang San's offer wasn't actually that high. The actual cost of the Zhuge Crossbow was around thirty gold soul coins, but if you factor in labor costs, poisoning the crossbow bolts, and other expenses, sixty gold soul coins would indeed be the cost price.

When Tang San sold the entire set of hidden weapons to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it cost 500 gold soul coins. The most important weapon in this set was the Zhuge Crossbow. It also included hidden arrows, sand-spraying arrows, and the Tight-Backed Bow Crossbow, among others. The total cost was no more than 200 gold soul coins.

Tang San chuckled and said, "This Zhuge Divine Crossbow is forged from refined iron, requiring extremely high craftsmanship. The bolts themselves are poisoned; if it weren't for the keratin layer on your chest, you would probably already be poisoned. I'll need you to clean it carefully later. Each Zhuge Divine Crossbow does indeed cost sixty gold soul coins. If it were sold to the public, it would probably cost over one hundred and fifty gold soul coins."

Niu Gao looked at Tang San, then at Titan, and said, "Why don't you just rob them? Our Imperial Clan's monthly income can't even buy a few of these things."

Titan gave Niu Gao a meaningful look. "So, the Tang Clan has a bright future! We won't be at the center of any conflict, yet we can still reap certain benefits. We're in the relatively safe Heaven Dou City, observing the changes in the outside world."
