Seven Titled Douluo, Tang Sect Hidden Weapons
"Achoo!"
Just as Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan, who were seemingly sisters, were scheming against each other, Tang Yuehua suddenly sneezed in the Imperial Study of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
"Teacher, are you feeling unwell? Did you catch a chill last night?"
Xue Ke, who was standing to the side, quickly put down the memorial she was holding, took off her Swan cloak, and draped it over Tang Yuehua's shoulders.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Tang Yuehua smiled and tightened her warm cloak. She was born with Martial Soul Mutation, and her Soul Power was only level 9. Even after consuming God Crystal and some precious pills exchanged from the System Shop, she was only at the level of Great Spirit Master of level 20.
Therefore, Tang Yuehua's body is not much different from that of an ordinary person, and it is normal for her to catch a cold occasionally.
"Why are you calling me Your Majesty again? You are my teacher and my elder sister. Just call me by my name."
Upon hearing Tang Yuehua's words, Xue Ke quickly feigned anger and said, "If you call me Your Majesty again, I'll get angry."
"Yes, we're both sisters in the harem, so please don't be so polite, Sister Yuehua."
Yu Tianmeng, who was standing to the side, also said with a grin.
"Oh well."
Tang Yuehua smiled gently. She knew that Xue Ke's words and actions were intended to win her over. However, she wasn't offended, after all, Xue Ke had studied under her at the Moon Pavilion for several years, mainly learning etiquette and social skills.
Today, Tang Yuehua, Yu Tianmeng, and Xue Ke gathered in the Imperial Study to discuss military plans targeting various kingdoms, duchies, and even the Spirit Hall.
"Marshal Ge Long's battle report says they have prepared 100,000 tons of food and supplies, enough for a million-strong army for three months. The army's march is progressing quite smoothly, however..."
Xue Ke paused for a moment, then continued, "However, Marshal Ge Long believes that although the Empire has mobilized a million troops this time, it is still somewhat lacking in Soul Master. If the Spirit Hall were to dispatch Title Douluo elders to carry out a decapitation operation, the problem would be enormous."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianmeng and Tang Yuehua immediately understood.
Xue Ke wants the Purple Micro Palace and Clear Sky Sect to send powerful experts to help in the battle!
Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Tianmeng immediately said, "Marshal Ge Long's words make a lot of sense. Here's what I'll do: I'll go back and dispatch Poison Douluo, Azure Dragon Douluo, and Vermilion Bird Douluo to the army camp in Notting City as soon as possible."
"The Royal Family's Meng Shenji Education Committee will also participate in the battle."
As soon as Xue Ke finished speaking, she and Yu Tianmeng looked at Tang Yuehua.
"This..."
Faced with the gazes of the two women, Tang Yuehua, as the Chief Elder the Clear Sky Sect, felt somewhat embarrassed.
In recent years, the Tang Hao and Tang Xiao Clear Sky Sect, and the Seventh Elder Blazing Sun Douluo, have all passed away, resulting in a significant loss of strength. Of the original seven Title Douluo, only a little over half remain.
Therefore, Tang Yuehua does not want to send the elders of the Clear Sky Sect into battle at this time.
After all, the Clear Sky Sect can't afford to lose any more powerful members.
However, seeing the expectant look in her disciple Xue Ke's eyes, Tang Yuehua gritted her teeth and said, "The sect's Second Elder and Third Elder elders have been restless lately, so let them go into battle with the army."
"Thank you, teacher!"
Xue Ke squinted her eyes happily and said gratefully.
With three Title Douluo from the Purple Micro Palace, two from the Clear Sky Sect, one from the royal family, and Marshal Ge Long himself being a Title Douluo, totaling seven Title Douluo, coupled with a million-strong army, it has become virtually impossible for the Spirit Hall to carry out a decapitation strike.
"By the way, where is my husband?"
Seeing that the problem had been solved, Xue Ke suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua thought for a moment and then said, "He mentioned to me last night before going to bed that he plans to go to the Tang Sect headquarters in the south of the city today."
"Oh."
Yu Tianmeng rested her chin on her hand, nodded, and a hint of a smile flashed in her large purple eyes...
At the same time.
In the Heaven Dou City, Zhou Chen stopped in front of a mansion.
This mansion occupies a vast area, with thick, tall walls exceeding ten meters in height. The gate tower is also over seven meters high.
It should be noted that, according to imperial law, only nobles of the Earl or above are permitted to build such a grand mansion.
Above the gate tower of the mansion hung a plaque with two large characters engraved on it: Tang Sect.
Yes, this is the Tang Sect. It was established a year ago by Tang San and the Strength Clan, with the support of Yu Tianmeng and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The Strength Clan has over two hundred members, all of whom are pure Strength Soul Master, and their Martial Soul is the Great Strength Gorilla.
Their clan was originally an appendage of the Clear Sky Sect, and also a clan directly under Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao. Their clan leader, Titan, was extremely loyal to Tang Hao.
Later, the Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion, and the Strength Clan, under the suppression of the Spirit Hall, had no choice but to establish their own sect and stay in Heaven Dou City.
Fortunately, the Strength Clan was quite skilled in forging techniques and often crafted excellent weapons and exquisite ornaments to sell to nobles, so they lived a relatively wealthy life.
Several years ago, the Purple Micro Palace had tried to recruit the Strength Clan several times, but unfortunately, the clan leader Tai Tan was too loyal to Tang Hao and therefore unwilling to join other forces.
A year ago, when Tang San wanted to establish the Tang Sect, he went alone to recruit members on Yu Tianmeng's advice. As a result, the Strength Clan immediately bowed down and worshipped him, making Yu Tianmeng exclaim that the protagonist's halo was really unreasonable.
This mansion was formerly the residence of the Strength Clan.
On either side of the Tang Sect's main gate stood two tall, burly men. Both were over two meters tall, and their black, tight-fitting clothes bulged from their powerful muscles, making them stand there like two guardian deities.
Moreover, both of these burly men possessed Soul Power exceeding level 50 Soul King.
Although Soul King- level Soul Master are nothing special within the Purple Micro Palace and the Spirit Hall, they are already considered quite powerful figures in most forces within the Douluo Plane.
"This is the Tang Sect's headquarters. Who are you?"
Upon seeing someone approaching, one of the two burly men stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said...
"Give this token to Tang San or Tai Tan."
Zhou Chen didn't say much, took out a purple Big Dipper Token, and handed it to the burly man.
"Hold on."
The burly man responded in a deep voice, then turned and pushed open the door to go inside.
Soon, the gates of the Tang Sect opened again, and an old man and a young man walked out quickly.
The young man was none other than Tang San.
Tang San now has a beautiful and handsome appearance, and his Soul Power is close to the Soul Emperor level.
However, compared to the original storyline, Tang San's strength is much weaker at this moment.
Because Tang Hao died, but Xiao Wu did not.
Without Tang Hao's guidance, Tang San did not go to the City of Slaughter, and thus failed to obtain the Slaughter God Domain, or even the Blue Silver Domain. He only obtained a piece of Blue Silver Emperor leg bone that Tang Hao gave to the Purple Micro Palace before his death.
Since Xiao Wu didn't die, Tang San was unable to obtain her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Even though Tang San consumed the God Crystal from the Purple Micro Palace, his strength was far inferior to that in the original story.
Beside Tang San was an old man.
The old man had white hair and beard, with short hair standing upright like steel needles on his head. He was tall and strong, with deep eyes, and stood there like a mountain, exuding an aura of authority without anger.
This old man was the patriarch of the Strength Clan, known as Tai Tan, the God of Strength.
Because Tai Tan did not join the Purple Micro Palace, Tai Tan did not obtain the God Crystal or cultivation techniques, and remained just a Soul Douluo.
"Chen Ge!"
Upon seeing Zhou Chen, Tang San immediately exclaimed with delight.
Tai Tan bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness!"
Zhou Chen nodded in return, then looked at Tang San and said with a smile, "Little San, your Soul Power has already reached level 59. It won't be long before you become a Soul Emperor."
"Hey-hey."
Tang San scratched his head and smiled shyly.
Zhou Chen has always been like Tang San's elder brother, and an elder brother is like a father, so Tang San has always respected Zhou Chen very much.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Tang San, Zhou Chen said seriously, "I've come today to check on the production progress of the second batch of Tang Sect Hidden Weapons ordered by the Imperial Family, and also to discuss some other important matters with you."
"Haha, Your Highness, you don't need to be so polite. The Tang Sect was established with the support of the Empire and the Purple Micro Palace. You are welcome to come anytime."
Tai Tan laughed and stepped aside to welcome Zhou Chen inside.
Tang San stood beside Zhou Chen, intimately introducing the scenery inside the mansion to him.
Soon, the three arrived at the giant blacksmith shop where the Tang Sect manufactured Hidden Weapon. Inside, the blacksmith shop was ablaze with fire and steam, with the sounds of hammering echoing continuously. Hundreds of members of the Strength Clan were busily manufacturing Tang Sect Hidden Weapons with hammers and other blacksmithing tools.
"Chen Ge, look, this is the Zhuge Divine Crossbow."
Tang San took a black box, over a foot long, from a member of the Strength Clan and showed it to them.
"This Zhuge Divine Crossbow is already the second generation. We created an enhanced version of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow based on the Soul Guidance Device blueprints provided by Sister Tian Meng."
"The enhanced Zhuge Divine Crossbow comes in twelve types of bolts: Bone-Piercing, Thunderfire, Armor-Piercing Piercing, Blade-Splitting, Demon-Subduing, Overlord, Nether Yin, Dragon Severer Severing, Desire Extinguisher, Dragon Annihilation, Meteorite, and Seven Slays. The most powerful Annihilation and Seven Slays bolts are enough to kill a level 60 Soul Master with full defense, while the weaker ones can still threaten Soul King around level 50."
After giving a passionate introduction, Tang San paused somewhat awkwardly and said, "However, because the production of these crossbows requires extremely exquisite craftsmanship and rare materials, and also requires ordering some sophisticated Soul Guidance Device parts from the Imperial Family's Soul Guidance Device Institute, the cost is very high, with each one costing at least 10,000 Gold Soul Coin."
"It doesn't matter. No matter how expensive the Zhuge Divine Crossbow is, it's not as expensive as a Soul King- level Soul Master carefully trained by the Spirit Hall."
Zhou Chen smiled and waved his hand, saying.
"As expected, Chen Ge, you understand things best."
Tang San smiled admiringly, then took out another Hidden Weapon from Tai Tan's hand and introduced it, "This is a set of Silent Sleeve Arrow, which can be equipped for the Empire's scout cavalry."
"This is a Close-Backed Head-Down Crossbow, allowing for surprise attacks, making it suitable for use by the Tian Ji Guard of the Purple Micro Palace..."
"This is a Sand-Spraying Shadow..."
"This is Leg Crossbow..."
