Tang Sect Hidden Weapons Make a Startling Appearance
The carriage sped along the official road, its wheels making a monotonous, dull sound as they rolled over the gravel.
Tang San shuttled back and forth between the three carriages carrying male students, female students, and the Crown Prince, passing the long journey with meditation, flirting, and ambiguity.
Of course, the place he spent the most time was Prince Xue Qinghe's carriage.
It was quiet and comfortable there, and Qian Renxue was there to keep me company.
In the cramped carriage, the two either talked in hushed tones or quietly meditated.
Occasionally, Tang San's hand would wander a little, earning him a glare from Qian Renxue, but that was all.
After all, there were at least four Titled Douluo- level powerhouses surrounding the team, and the two of them weren't bold enough to do that.
Days passed by like this.
Three days after the team set off, at the Pope's Palace in Spirit City.
Bibi Dong sat high on the Pope throne.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei stood at the foot of the jade steps, bowing slightly, awaiting the Pope's instructions.
After a moment, Bibi Dong said authoritatively, "Do both elders understand?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan raised his head and respectfully replied, "Understood, subordinate. Tang San of Shrek Academy Team."
Bibi Dong's lips curled into a cold smile, "Alright. Remember, each person should be equipped with a newly made Godly Zhuge Crossbow. A swift victory is essential."
"Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope." Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo bowed simultaneously.
Bibi Dong waved her hand, and Kiku and Kiku bowed again, then turned and silently withdrew from the Pope's Palace.
Silence returned to the Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong leaned back on her throne, a very slight smile curving her lips, lost in thought.
Qian Renxue, you think you can challenge my authority by finding a few geniuses? I'd like to see if you can protect them.
On the eleventh day, the convoy arrived between two low hills.
Tang San was in Dugu Yan and the others' carriage, making them laugh heartily. With Ning Rongrong playing the straight man, the atmosphere in the carriage was very lively. Even the usually aloof Zhu Zhuqing smiled.
Just as he was preparing to press on, a chilling murderous aura emanated from the mountains on either side of the carriage.
At the same moment, the captain of the Royal Knights also sensed that something was wrong.
He raised his right hand and shouted, "Everyone on alert! Something's up!"
The five hundred knights of the Royal Knights quickly formed two defensive lines on either side of the Soul Master's ranks, shields raised and lances pointed forward, creating an impenetrable steel wall.
Just then, countless rocks began to fall from the hills on both sides like raindrops.
Rocks of all sizes tumbled down the hillside with a whooshing sound and a muffled roar, hurtling rapidly downwards.
"Raise your shields!" the captain's voice rang out again.
The knights of the Royal Knights raised their shields, and the falling stones struck them with a dull thud.
Some particularly large stones struck the shield, knocking the knight and his horse back several steps, leaving deep dents in the shield.
More boulders fell into the ranks.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Several huge boulders rolled to the middle of the road, blocking the carriages' path and dividing the procession into several sections.
The faculty and students from various colleges who were in the carriage quickly disembarked.
The group quickly formed a circle, with the students inside and the teachers and powerful Soul Masters outside, vigilantly observing their surroundings.
Various colors shone on the Soul Masters, their Martial Souls were released, and their Soul Rings shone, illuminating the entire valley in a dazzling array of colors.
Just then, a sharp whistle rang out from somewhere.
Suddenly, thousands of men in black appeared on the hills on both sides and rushed down at an astonishing speed.
At first glance, it was a dark mass, with at least a thousand people.
"Protect the trainees!" Flender's voice rang out from the Shrek team.
"All teachers are on the outer perimeter, students are in the inner circle, and support Soul Masters are in the very center!" Qin Ming added, his voice calm and decisive.
The Shrek Team quickly formed a formation.
Tang San stood at the very front, with Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu on his left and right respectively. Dai Mubai, Tai Long, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, and Zhu Zhuqing stood on both sides, while Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar were surrounded in the middle.
The men in black drew closer, and Tang San's gaze was fixed on their hands.
Then, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Tang San's superhuman eyesight allowed him to spot from a great distance that each of the men in black was armed with a mechanical weapon.
The machine body is made of cast metal, with intricate gears and springs exposed, and a row of short arrows mounted on the crossbow arm.
It looks very much like the "Zhuge Repeating Crossbow".
Tang San knew that the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow was a Tang Sect Hidden Weapon Tang San of the Tang Sect brought to the Douluo Continent, and its power was astonishing.
The crossbow bolts are made of fine steel and have extremely strong penetrating power, capable of breaking through the defenses of Soul Ancestor at close range.
"Watch out for their Hidden Weapons! Don't try to take them head-on!" Tang San immediately shouted a tense warning.
Although everyone was puzzled as to why Tang San was so nervous, they couldn't help but feel a chill and become even more vigilant when they saw the arrow holes gleaming coldly on the crossbows of the men in black.
Tang San's mind was racing.
How could the Spirit Hall possess the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow? The design blueprints for such Hidden Weapon could only be drawn by one person.
Zhang San.
He actually brought out all the Hidden Weapons from the Tang Sect?
Tang San's heart sank.
With the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, it means that the Spirit Hall in this era is even more terrifying than in the original story.
How can we possibly fight against the Spirit Hall like this?
Tang San took a deep breath, banishing these distracting thoughts from his mind. Now was not the time to think about these things; survival was the priority.
He turned to Qin Ming and Flender, saying urgently, "Teacher Qin, Dean Flender, we must keep them at least thirty meters away! We can't let them get close! Within thirty meters, the power of those crossbows will increase exponentially! Once they enter range, our students will suffer heavy losses!"
Qin Ming and Flender exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.
Both of them simultaneously Martial Soul Possession; Flender's Soul Power was level 79, Qin Ming's Soul Power was level 65.
Tang San, Dugu Yan, and Xiao Wu, the three Soul Kings, stepped forward at the same time, and the five of them lined up in a row.
"Yan Yan, Xiao Wu, stay close to me!" Tang San shouted, his First Soul Ring lighting up as he activated his Evergreen Body.
A golden luster flowed across his body, his vitality, recovery ability, and defense were all enhanced, like an engine injected with high-octane fuel, his whole body was full of inexhaustible energy.
The five of them charged towards the man in black, standing between the Shrek team and the man in black.
Tang San did not hesitate, Fourth Soul Ring lit up.
This was the first time he had used his Fourth Soul Skill in front of everyone.
The black Fourth Soul Ring beneath his feet emitted a profound light.
Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Lightning Prison!
Boom!!
The earth cracked, and from Tang San's feet, countless cracks spread outwards from within a hundred meters in front of him.
Then, lightning exploded.
Countless deep blue Blue Silver vines shot up from the crack, each as thick as a bucket, with silver arcs of electricity crackling wildly across their surface, emitting a "crackling" sound.
Vines intertwined and Entanglement, forming an impenetrable prison of lightning along the path of the men in black as they charged.
Inside the Thunder Prison, arcs of electricity snaked through the vines, silver bolts of lightning leaping and weaving, enveloping the entire cage in a blinding white light.
