Talking Business in the Middle of a Fight?

Given the stealth of the Silent Sleeve Arrow, the fact that You Xing was still able to detect it, even after he had set up two layers of illusion beforehand, was already shocking enough.

What shocked Tang San even more was that You Xing not only reacted to the Silent Sleeve Arrow's attack, but also caught Silent Sleeve Arrow with one hand? Even with the enhancement of his Martial Soul Possession, such reaction speed and finger strength were astonishing!

While Tang San was still in shock and uncertainty, You Xing suddenly threw three Sleeve Arrow in the opposite direction.

"Snort!"

Tang San's brows furrowed, easily dodging the attack, thinking to himself, "Using my Hidden Weapon against Grandmaster of Hidden Weapon like me? How could it possibly work!"

Before Tang San could be smug for long, You Xing had already taken the opportunity to get close.

Even though he deliberately limited his strength, You Xing's speed was still the fastest among those of the same level!

However, Tang San had the experience of being knocked out with a single punch after being possessed by You Xing's Martial Soul Possession, so he was on high alert the moment You Xing completed the Martial Soul Possession.

Combat is not simply a contest of numbers; it's not that being faster guarantees you won't be able to dodge attacks.

At least, Tang San's footwork, enhanced by the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, was not completely overwhelmed by the speed of the Wandering You Xing Martial Soul Possession.

Relying on his foresight, Tang San reacted the instant his target was lost, successfully using his agile footwork to evade You Xing's attack with minimal effort. He even forced You Xing to use most of his speed advantage to create distance after his attack missed, giving Tang San more breathing time.

Tang San successfully dodged You Xing's attack, but he felt no joy at all.

'Even with my Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, I can't match You Xing's speed. And what's even more deadly is... this guy hasn't used his first Soul Skill yet!'

The true power of the You Xing Martial Soul was a complete mystery to Tang San!

It can be said that after You Xing possessed his Martial Soul Possession, his chances of winning were greatly reduced!

Tang San originally intended to end the battle before You Xing was on guard against his Hidden Weapon, but unexpectedly, You Xing's "respect" and "recognition" for him seemed to be more than just words. Youxing was always vigilant towards him, and in the end... it still came to this!

To defeat You Xing, Tang San can ultimately rely on his Hidden Weapon!

However, once a concealed Hidden Weapon is exposed, it loses its greatest advantage as an assassination tool.

At least, mechanical concealed Hidden Weapon like the Silent Sleeve Arrow, which only have the advantage of being silent, have relatively average speed and power, and a very rigid trajectory, are unlikely to be effective.

Tang San calculated the remaining Soul Power in his body and quickly determined how many times he could unleash the Hidden Weapon Disassembly Techniques at full power.

He silently took out the Godly Zhuge Crossbow from the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges and set it up.

Even with his current internal strength in the Mysterious Heaven Skill, no matter how hard he tries to unleash the Hidden Weapon Disassembly, its power is still no match for the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

However, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow has a limited number of shots, while the technique of Hidden Weapon Disassembly is more controllable and flexible, which can help him find a better time to fire.

More importantly...

"You Chen, including this Godly Zhuge Crossbow in my hand and the Sleeve Arrow from earlier, I call them Hidden Weapon. Among Hidden Weapon, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow is known for its speed and power. It can probably even threaten Soul Elder or Soul Ancestor! So, please be prepared to go down in the field at any time!" Tang San held up the Godly Zhuge Crossbow and sternly warned You Chen's Clone was acting as the referee.

Whether he meant well or not has nothing to do with it. Although he risked his teacher's reputation, it was still essentially a friendly match.

A friendly match that wouldn't even have taken place if You Chen hadn't allowed it!

If Tang San hadn't given prior warning, causing You Chen to react too late and resulting in You Xing being accidentally shot and killed by the Godly Zhuge Crossbow during the battle... even if You Chen seemed gentle and easy to talk to now, Tang San couldn't guarantee that he and his disciple would be able to walk out of this house!

As for using Godly Zhuge Crossbow to kill You Chen?

Even if You Chen is just a Soul Ancestor, he is still Agility Attack System and could definitely react to the speed of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow!

Unless Tang San uses the battle with You Xing as a pretext and takes You Chen as his real primary target, and suddenly uses the Zhuge Crossbow to ambush You Chen during the battle, it is basically impossible for him to kill You Chen in one blow!

Leaving a snake alive could lead to endless trouble. The attitude that You Master Chen have shown so far is not enough for Tang San to list them as "enemies who must be killed immediately," so he naturally will not make such a choice.

Therefore, even if it might arouse You Xing's suspicion and reduce the surprise effect of Godly Zhuge Crossbow, Tang San must declare the threat of Godly Zhuge Crossbow in advance!

In fact, Tang San's best-case scenario was that You Chen, upon hearing the power of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, would worry about his disciple's safety and call off the duel. In that case, according to their initial agreement, it would naturally be considered a victory for him!

"Oh? A mechanical artifact that can even threaten Soul Ancestor?"

However, to Tang San's surprise, You Chen didn't stop the duel. Instead, he showed an expression of great interest and exclaimed, "No wonder you think you have a chance to defeat You Xing. Hmm, it's called Hidden Weapon, right? If every support-type Soul Master could be equipped with a few, it would definitely greatly improve their situation. Yu Xiaogang was able to invent these things that are beneficial to the progress of the Soul Master World through alternative methods, so I can't completely deny some of my previous assessments..."

Tang San: "..."

Yu Xiaogang: "..."

Leaving aside Yu Xiaogang, Tang San was completely embarrassed and remained silent for a long time before finally stammering, "Um, this... this Hidden Weapon has nothing to do with my teacher. This is something I figured out myself..."

A teacher for a day is a father for life!

But... even his father couldn't compare to the Tang Sect's place in Tang San's heart!

No matter how much he respected Yu Xiaogang, he could never tolerate the title of inventor of Hidden Weapon falling on Yu Xiaogang! Absolutely not!

Even You Chen looked embarrassed. He opened his mouth, pushed up his glasses, chuckled dryly, and said, "Hey, Xiao San, it's really impressive that you can make such an invention at such a young age. Oh my, this Godly Zhuge Crossbow looks very exquisite and fits my aesthetic perfectly. I want to order a hundred right now!"

Even the way they address each other has become more intimate! You Chen's embarrassment is evident! — Of course, this is Tang San's opinion.

You Chen knew the source of the Hidden Weapon from beginning to end; he was deliberately trying to disgust people.

Upon hearing You Chen's order, Tang San's eyes lit up. Although forging the Godly Zhuge Crossbow would be very time-consuming and energy-intensive, he needed money to revive the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons in this world!

He immediately said, "Master You Chen, how about five hundred Gold Soul Coin for this Godly Zhuge Crossbow?!"

They even followed the lead given by You Chen and began to address him in a more tactful and intimate way.
