Chapter 26 Zhuge Divine Crossbow
Zhou Yu sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to absorb the Lightning Leopard's thousand-year soul ring according to the breathing technique of Qi Refining.
As the purple halo enveloped him, his bones began to crackle and pop.
Sweat dripped down his skin, mixed with a faint gray tinge—a testament to the relentless expulsion of impurities from his body by the power of his soul ring.
The Lightning Leopard's energy was undergoing a transformative baptism on Zhou Yu's body in an extremely domineering manner.
The intense pain involved is truly unimaginable.
—Ugh!
"Tang San, I will take everything from you, leaving you with nothing and a life worse than death!"
With his unwavering belief in revenge, Zhou Yu finally conquered the violent power within him, and the two began to absorb and transform each other.
Soon after, the blood and sweat that had been seeping out like a fine beaded curtain gradually stopped.
Zhou Yu's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed a bit, and an indescribable, faint white light quietly brewed within his body, eventually breaking through the constraints of his skin and gently overflowing.
The light was pure and mysterious, like the morning light under the first snow, both warm and refreshing, instantly dyeing the surrounding air with a faint holy color.
His body, bathed in this light, seemed even more extraordinary, as if it had undergone some kind of transformation and was moving towards a completely new realm.
"It's a success!"
Zhou Yu was overjoyed, for he had finally advanced to become a Soul Master.
Two yellow and one purple spirit rings rose gracefully from the soles of his feet, lightly circling around his body, as if they were the best testament and reward for his hard work.
Next, I'll witness firsthand the third soul skill I just acquired, [Flowing Light and Illusion].
With a flick of his wrist, Zhou Yu's original position was now reduced to a faint white silhouette, while his true form had already moved with incredible speed, appearing a hundred meters away in an instant like a streak of light.
"..."
Even Zhou Yu himself was taken aback: "This movement technique is much faster than that little punk's ghostly phantom tracking!"
His beast spirit, the Chameleon, excels at changing its form and concealing its tracks, but it is weak in both offense and escape.
This acquisition of a third soul skill will not only provide powerful assistance in battle, but also help him to quickly retreat in critical moments and ensure his own safety.
"It's time for me to return to the academy!"
Zhou Yu summoned his beast spirit, the Chameleon, once again. After possessing his body, it blended perfectly into the forest, as if it had become a part of nature.
At the same time, he uses his keen senses to remain constantly alert to his surroundings.
As he was walking through the forest, he suddenly heard a burst of cheers.
Using the chameleon's ability to conceal itself, Zhou Yu silently followed the sound, moving like a ghost among the shadows of the trees.
"So it was them..."
Zhou Yu saw a crowd gathering not far ahead, which consisted of Zhao Wuji and Tang San, students from Shrek Academy.
They came to the Star Dou Great Forest for two reasons: firstly, to help Oscar and Tang San obtain their third spirit rings, and secondly, to train their teamwork.
At this point, Tang San had already killed the Human-Faced Demon Spider, obtaining not only his third spirit ring but also an unexpected external spirit bone.
Just as Zhao Wuji gave the order to lead the team back to the academy, Tang San said, "Teacher Zhao, wait a moment before leaving. I almost forgot something."
Zhao Wuji stopped and looked at Tang San, asking, "What's wrong?"
"Hmph, so you still haven't shown off!"
Zhou Yu couldn't help but complain in his heart. He used his martial soul talent to change his body color and blend into the surrounding environment. No one present, including Zhao Wuji, noticed his presence.
Tang San then took out a Zhuge Divine Crossbow from the moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridges.
He raised his hand, aimed the Zhuge Crossbow at a large tree nearby, and then pressed the switch.
—Crunch crunch!
A series of clanging sounds rang out, and everyone felt a blur before their eyes, followed by a series of thuds.
Among all the people, the fastest was undoubtedly the agility-type Soul Master Zhu Zhuqing, but she was also secretly amazed that she would have no chance to dodge the extreme firing speed of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
On the large tree that required three people to encircle, there were two rows of tiny holes, a total of sixteen, each hole about the size of a finger.
Zhao Wuji couldn't help but ask, "Tang San, what is this?"
Tang San held up the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in front of everyone and said loudly, "I call it the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. It is an extremely powerful mechanical hidden weapon. Anyone can use it. It contains forty-eight crossbow bolts, and each time it is loaded, sixteen bolts can be fired instantly through the mechanism."
"Was that a crossbow bolt that was just fired?"
Dai Mubai looked puzzled. Apart from Xiao Wu, the others present didn't know much about Tang San's hidden weapons.
Tang San nodded and replied, "The Zhuge Crossbow is very powerful, specifically designed to break through soul power defenses. If your defenses aren't extremely strong, you'll be killed instantly."
Everyone gasped in shock at the sheer power of the penetration.
Everyone present, except Zhao Wuji, knew they couldn't stop him.
"Tang San, did you research and manufacture this Zhuge Crossbow yourself?"
Ning Rongrong was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to ask.
Tang San nodded confidently and said, "Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong bit her lip slightly and said, "I'd like to talk to you alone, is that alright?"
Tang San replied without hesitation, "Of course!"
After saying that, the two moved towards the woods on the side, which was right next to where Zhou Yu was.
Ning Rongrong tentatively asked, "Tang San, can you sell this to me? You can name your price. You know we support-type Soul Masters don't have much ability to protect ourselves."
Tang San asked with some doubt, "Rongrong, didn't you have the Desert Eagle that Lin Yu gave you? It seems to be even more lethal to me."
"That's right, the Desert Eagle does indeed have extremely strong lethality."
"However, manufacturing bullets is extremely difficult, and so far, it is still impossible to mass-produce them."
Ning Rongrong told him the truth about what she knew.
Tang San smiled slightly and said, "There's no need for us to talk about selling. I'll just give you one later. However, the materials needed to make this are very expensive, so you'll have to pay for them yourself."
"Really? Thank you, Tang San!"
"Also, I'd like to do some business with you."
Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment before finally revealing her true purpose.
Tang San stared intently at the beautiful woman before him; her expression was serious, and somewhat excited.
He had a rough idea of what the other person was planning, so he said, "Rongrong, just tell me what's on your mind!"
Ning Rongrong nodded seriously: "Although our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the seven great sects in the world, all of our direct disciples are support-type Soul Masters."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul has strong support capabilities, but it cannot save our own lives."
"When we encounter the enemy, we will be their first target."
"I think your mechanical hidden weapons are of great help to us, at least they can give my people some ability to protect themselves."
"Therefore, if possible, I would like to order a batch of mechanical hidden weapons from you through the sect."
As Tang San predicted, Ning Rongrong really did want to order a batch of Zhuge Crossbows for the sect.
