You Call My Hand Crossbow Trash? Then Why Did You Fall to Your Knees?

Speed Clan.

It was not difficult for Song Ye to bring Dugu Bo to this small sect.

Before coming, he had also left a note at home. With Dugu Bo accompanying him, Song Ye's mother would surely be at ease.

With Dugu Bo's status, Song Ye and the others could even enter the sect directly, sparing themselves a heap of trouble.

At that moment, Song Ye, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan were seated on the left side of the Speed Clan's reception hall.

As the clan leader, Bai He had heard that a Title Douluo had come to visit. He had hurried over to receive them and was seated on the right.

Song Ye and Bai He sized each other up.

Bai He somewhat resembled his appearance in the Douluo anime from Song Ye's previous life, though his clothes were not nearly as flashy. He wore only plain white robes.

Song Ye had also observed the condition of the Speed Clan along the way. The buildings were indeed dilapidated everywhere, with hardly any decorations.

Meanwhile, Bai He looked at Song Ye with great confusion.

At first, he had heard that the legendary Poison Douluo had come calling and had eagerly rushed over.

Yet after taking their seats, he found that this boy of around nine was the leader, while the Poison Douluo was merely acting as a guard.

So Bai He kept observing Song Ye, trying to find something extraordinary about him.

Just then, a servant brought over the tea.

Bai He accepted a cup and took the initiative to explain.

"I hope little friend Song will forgive us. The Speed Clan has no good tea at present; our hospitality is truly lacking."

Song Ye glanced at the tea. The leaves within were indeed low-grade.

But he casually took a sip, slowly set down the cup, and said, "Whether tea is good or bad depends partly on the tea leaves themselves and partly on the person brewing it."

"Clan Leader Bai is willing to serve tea to a junior like me. Naturally, this tea is good tea."

Song Ye calmly flattered him.

Unexpectedly, Bai He had not expected such words.

He also took a sip of tea, looking at Song Ye with slight surprise as he muttered, "I never expected little friend Song to possess such bearing and eloquence at such a young age."

"It seems little friend is no ordinary person."

"Little friend brought the Poison Douluo here, yet this old man has failed to entertain you properly. That is truly inappropriate. But the Speed Clan is in difficult circumstances, and there is nothing I can do."

"I wonder, since little friend Song has come in person today, do you have some matter to discuss?"

Bai He no longer looked down on Song Ye so much and asked directly.

Song Ye replied lightly, "As the saying goes, one does not visit a temple without reason. Since this junior came so abruptly, naturally I have an important matter."

"To be frank with Clan Leader Bai, I came this time to bring benefits to the Speed Clan."

"Bring benefits?"

The moment Bai He heard that, he became alert.

The next second, Song Ye took out the Xuande Divine Crossbow he had made and displayed it.

"This is called the Xuande Divine Crossbow. It is a handy weapon that I painstakingly researched and developed."

"When I made this crossbow, I immediately thought of the Speed Clan."

"I heard that the Speed Clan follows the path of extreme attribute development, adding all Soul Rings and Soul Skills to speed, but as a result lacks offensive power."

"So I thought, if this divine crossbow were given to the Speed Clan to use, would that not be a perfect match, benefiting both sides?"

Bai He listened but still did not quite understand.

He stared at the Hand Crossbow in Song Ye's hand. "Xuande Divine Crossbow?"

"The name sounds proper enough, but for Soul Masters, weapons are only so useful, aren't they?"

"Could it be that little friend has come to sell this weapon?"

Song Ye nodded. "You could call it a sale."

"But regarding Senior's claim that weapons are useless, I think Senior is underestimating them."

"My Xuande Divine Crossbow is simple to use and clearly powerful. Even an ordinary person can use it to deal with ordinary Soul Masters."

"With Soul Power support, its lethality becomes even more terrifying!"

"I believe this weapon is the most suitable thing for the Speed Clan."

"Oh?"

Bai He continued listening, somewhat curious.

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Clan Leader Bai, why not give it a try?" Song Ye casually handed over the Xuande Divine Crossbow.

Bai He accepted it and grew slightly interested. After examining it for a long while, he could not help marveling at its ingenious design.

But the next moment, he handed it to his granddaughter, Bai Chenxiang, who was seated beside him.

"Chenxiang, why don't you try this?"

Bai Chenxiang had been sitting to Bai He's right and had not spoken before.

She was only eight years old, still a young little girl.

When Song Ye saw this, he frowned slightly. Bai He had handed the weapon to a little girl to test; it seemed he still did not trust the weapon.

He immediately reminded him, "This must be Clan Leader Bai's granddaughter, Bai Chenxiang?"

"Forgive my bluntness, Senior. This weapon is quite powerful. An eight-year-old child is even younger than me. What if..."

"What's wrong with being eight?"

Unexpectedly, Bai Chenxiang spoke up herself at that moment.

"Aren't you only one year older than me?"

Most Soul Masters matured early. Though Bai Chenxiang was only eight, she was still somewhat proud.

In a gentle yet stubborn voice, she explained, "It is just some strange weapon made of metal. How powerful could it possibly be?"

"Right, Grandpa?"

Bai He merely chuckled, stroking his beard with a smile.

Seeing this, Song Ye no longer cared.

It seemed this grandfather and granddaughter truly looked down on his weapon. They were only pretending to test it out to save face.

Song Ye said nothing further and simply let them proceed.

Bai He reassured him, "Little friend need not worry. Although my granddaughter is only eight, she is already nearly level 20. How could an ordinary weapon harm her?"

"Chenxiang, just try it however you like."

Bai Chenxiang heard this and proudly shot Song Ye a glance.

It seemed to say, Well? I'm not afraid!

Even Grandpa thinks it will be fine. Could your so-called weapon possibly hurt a Soul Master like me?

A moment later, Bai Chenxiang held the Xuande Divine Crossbow and tried firing it at a rather thick wall.

As she pressed the trigger, Bai Chenxiang muttered somewhat arrogantly, "Isn't it just an iron arrow? How powerful could it be?"

Then she pulled the trigger.

Whoosh!

With a sharp sound, more than a dozen special arrows fired from the Xuande Divine Crossbow at once.

Because Song Ye had used a special metal to make the elastic propulsion mechanism, even the Hand Crossbow had some recoil.

The next second, Bai Chenxiang failed to hold on and threw the Xuande Divine Crossbow away.

She was even shoved backward and knocked to the ground on the spot.

On the other side, the arrows shot out at an astonishing speed, catching everyone by surprise.

Half a second later, all the arrows struck their target, violently piercing through the wall Bai Chenxiang had aimed at.

Bang!

After a dull sound, more than a dozen small holes that let in light had appeared in the wall.

And that was not all. Another sound came from behind it—they had pierced through two walls!

Only after the sounds ceased could the arrows finally have stopped.

Yet at that moment, the entire reception hall fell into an eerie silence.

Earlier, Bai He and Bai Chenxiang had been disdainful, paying little attention to this strange weapon.

But who could have imagined that once fired, this weapon would smash through two walls?

Bai He nearly thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

What... what kind of weapon was this? How could it possess such terrifying power without even using Soul Power?!

The next second, Bai He stared at Song Ye in utter shock...
