Dai Mu Bai asked in confusion: "You're saying that what was just shot out was a crossbow arrow? But where did your crossbow arrow shoot to?"
Tang San smiled slightly and pointed to another large tree behind him, "It's over there." As he spoke, he walked towards that tree. This second tree was still ten meters away from the first one. When everyone arrived in front of it, they finally saw the traces of Zhuge God Crossbow's arrow.
Sixteen crossbow arrows, in two neat rows, were completely embedded in the trunk of the tree.
"Little Three, did your crossbow bolt penetrate the previous tree and then enter this one?"
Tang San nodded and said, "The power of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow is very strong, specializing in breaking through soul force defenses. If the defensive strength isn't extremely powerful, it will be instantly killed."
After listening to Tang San's explanation, the crowd couldn't help but take a deep breath, such a powerful penetrating force, among the people present, except for Zhao Wuji, who knew they couldn't withstand it.
"This thing is too overbearing, even if I use the White Tiger Golden Fist, I'm afraid I'll still suffer serious injuries."
Tang San raised his hand and slapped it towards the tree trunk. Relying on the power of his Xuan Tian Godly Stove and the Dragon Sealing Technique, he slowly shook out the crossbow bolts from the tree's body.
The manufacture of these divine crossbow arrows is not easy, the ones previously inserted into the human-faced demon spider's body are clearly gone for good, but he can't bear to part with the ones in front of him.
One side patting the tree trunk, Tang San said to Dai Mubai: "The Zhuge God Crossbow can be said to be an ordinary warrior's nightmare. Moreover, its biggest feature is not its own power, but the hidden and sudden nature of the dark weapon. As long as the mechanism is set up well, launching it doesn't require a bit of soul power. Even an ordinary person can use it easily. According to my calculations, if a Soul Master below level 40 is hit head-on, their chances of survival are very small. It has an extremely strong restraining effect on non-defensive Soul Masters."
"Tang San, are these all your research results?" Ning Rongrong asked.
Tang San was taken aback for a moment and smiled wryly: "I guess so." He couldn't very well tell everyone that this was a skill he had brought over from another world, after all.
Ning Rongrong asked tentatively, "Tang San, can you sell this thing to me? The price is up to you, you also know that I'm an auxiliary system soul master, I don't have much self-defense ability. When everyone is fighting desperately, apart from using a little bit of my soul technique for assistance, I can only watch. If I had this thing, I would also have some attacking power."
Tang San smiled and said: "What's for sale? I'll give you one later. However, the materials needed to make this thing are very expensive. You pay for the materials yourself."
At this time, the crossbow arrow had already been slapped out of the tree by Tang San, and everyone only then saw the appearance of Zhuge Divine Crossbow's crossbow arrow.
The arrow is eight inches long, with no tail feathers. The rear four inches are cylindrical in shape, while the front four inches are conical. The front three inches have twelve small blood grooves, and the tip is extremely sharp, shining with a faint cold light. There was no wear due to penetration of the tree trunk.
Tang San patted the side of the Godly Crossbow, opening the quiver and one by one pressed the sixteen crossbow bolts back into their slots.
Oscar came over at this time, with a flattering smile on his face, "Little San, aren't we good brothers?"
Tang San looked at him with a faint smile, how could he not understand Oscar's meaning? "Of course, don't worry, I'll send you one set of Zhuge God Crossbow each. Like Rong Rong, the material costs will be borne by yourselves, and I'll take care of the manufacturing. However, this thing is very troublesome to make, and I can only make one in a month. You shouldn't rush it. Moreover, unless absolutely necessary, don't use it lightly. The crossbow arrows are also not easy to make, once they're fired, it's hard to retrieve them. After all, I'm just one person, I definitely won't be able to supply enough for everyone to use. Besides, the Zhuge God Crossbow itself is extremely overbearing, with too much killing power, and can easily cause fatal injuries."
"Xiao San, this won't do." Zhao Wuji suddenly spoke up.
Tang San was taken aback, "Why, Teacher Zhao."
Zhao Wuji's face revealed a sly smile as he glanced at the other disciples, saying: "These guys aren't people who don't have money. This Shu Ge Shen Nu is not easy to make, so you can't sell it cheaply to them. Anyway, some people don't care about money, just estimate a price and sell it to them."
Dai Mu Bai nodded and said: "I agree with Teacher Zhao. Xiao San, if you want to sell this Zhuge God Crossbow, how much will it cost?"
Tang San smiled and shook his head, "We're all our own people, let's not mention money."
Dai Mu Bai said, "It's not wrong to be kind to our own people. But we can't let you suffer a loss either. This small box is able to shoot out such powerful crossbow arrows, it's clear that the craftsmanship inside is extremely complex. We can't just let you labor in vain. Moreover, later on when we use this thing, we'll still need to replenish the crossbow arrows. Do you want us to make you work for nothing every time? Don't be polite with us anymore. How about this: consider this first Zhuge Divine Crossbow a gift from you to us. We'll only pay for the materials. In the future, if we need it again, you must sell it to us, what do you think?"
Oscar chuckled and said, "That's right, it's like that. Anyway, our monthly subsidies are not small. This thing can be a lifesaver at critical moments. Selling it at a high price is no big deal."
Tang San nodded, saying: "Alright then. Since everyone is interested in mechanical class hidden weapons, I'll try to help you all equip yourselves with them later on. After all, having one more type of weapon means having one more guarantee."
Everyone was clearly very interested in hidden weapons, and of course, this had a lot to do with the effect Tang San's use of hidden weapons produced. After all, on his first day at Shrek Academy, he had used hidden weapons to gain the upper hand over Zhao Wuji, who was more than forty levels higher than him in terms of soul power. Not to mention these students, even Zhao Wuji himself was somewhat moved.
Finally walked out of the Starry Forest. Out of the forest range, although there is no longer that fresh air, everyone seems to have shed a layer of pressure, feeling much lighter.
"We'll hurry a bit more and we can rest when we reach the town." Zhao Wuji smiled.
Dai Mu Bai said, "If everyone is fine, let's hurry up. Once we reach the town, I'll treat you all to a drink. Teacher Zhao, don't decline this time. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid none of us would have made it out of Xing Dou alive."
Zhao Wuji smiled and said: "Xiaobai, I know you have money. However, my capacity for liquor is quite large."
Dai Mu Bai burst out laughing, "Teacher Zhao, haven't you heard that saying? If a problem can be solved with money, then it's not a problem."
This time entering the Star Dou Great Forest, the harvest was not small. Not only did Oscar successfully enter the Soul Emperor realm, but Tang San and Xiao Wu also completed the fusion of their third soul ring. More importantly, it strengthened the tacit understanding and relationship between everyone. The entire Shrek Academy had only these seven people. Resolving the conflict would be greatly beneficial for everyone's future cultivation.
A group of people spent a whole two days recuperating in the small town. Their spiritual and physical strength had recovered, so it wouldn't take that long naturally. However, their tense Jing needed to relax.
Dai Mu Bai was extremely generous, covering everyone's expenses for two days. Nobody practiced cultivation, instead spending their days drinking and having fun together. It was an indescribable joy. Even Zhu Zhu Qing's normally icy demeanor had softened significantly. However, she refused to let Dai Mu Bai hold her hand again, no matter what.
Dai Mu Bai didn't force her either, after all, she was just a twelve-year-old little girl. He wasn't in a hurry.
Two days later, everyone set off again and after a day of rushing, they returned smoothly to the Slark Academy outside Soto City.
"We're finally back! It feels great to be home!" Oscar exclaimed loudly.
Zhao Wuji glared at him, "Keep your voice down, can't you see it's already dark? Alright, all of you go back to your dormitories and rest. I'm going to see the principal, to report on our trip."
After a day's journey, everyone was tired and went back to their own dormitories.
"Tang San, wait a minute." Tang San was just about to head back to the dormitory with Oscar when Ning Rongrong called out to him.
Tang San was taken aback, "Rong Rong, what's wrong?"
Ning Rong's lips lightly touched her teeth and she said: "I want to have a private talk with you, can I?"
Standing beside Tang San, Oscar's face stiffened for a moment, "You guys talk. I'll go back first." Since that day he saved Ning Rongrong from the Titan Ape attack, Oscar's originally dead heart had started to beat again. After all, Ning Rongrong was sweet and beautiful, although only twelve years old, but already blossoming into a stunning beauty, an irreplaceable gem. These past few days when he had been trying his best to curry favor with her, Ning Rongrong hadn't refused him again, instead drawing closer to him.
At this time, Ning Rongrong suddenly said she wanted to talk to Tang San alone, Oscar's heart couldn't help but feel a pang of sourness, but he couldn't say anything.
Xiao Wu looked at Ning Rongrong with some curiosity, "Rongrong, what did you want to talk to San about? Can't I hear it too?"
Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment before nodding her head.
Xiao Wu pouted and made a face at Ning Rongrong before running towards the dormitory.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing had already returned to their dormitory earlier. At this moment, only Tang San and Ning Rongrong were left at the entrance of the academy.
