The Live Broadcast Room continued playing.
[Three days later, Ye Tianyun retrieved all the parts and returned to the room he had rented for himself. He began assembling the Soul Tool.]
On screen, Ye Tianyun assembled it at great speed.
But the viewers couldn't see clearly, because even the individual parts were pixelated in the Live Broadcast Room, to prevent anyone from spying.
As for who might be spying, the Live Broadcast Room didn't say.
[Ye Tianyun quickly finished assembling the Soul Tool pistol. Since it looked much like a lotus, he named it Lotus Justice. It was loaded with six special metal bullets and required only a small amount of Soul Power to fire, yet packed tremendous killing power.]
Tang San felt deeply uncomfortable as soon as he heard that. He sneered sarcastically:
"That name sounds nice, but it's all showy and flashy. How powerful could it possibly be? Can it compare to our Tang Sect's Godly Zhuge Crossbow?"
Beside him, Dai Mubai silently nodded, clearly in full agreement with Tang San:
"Exactly. Our Tang Sect's Godly Zhuge Crossbow is unquestionably the strongest."
Although he didn't have a Godly Zhuge Crossbow yet, he already knew how to make one. He'd craft one for himself later.
Everyone else had one, so he couldn't be the only one without one. What would he do if he got attacked while out and about?
Tang San: "..."
That was clearly his Godly Zhuge Crossbow. He'd always treasured it and treated it like a wife, but now it had somehow become everyone's.
It was all Ye Tianyun's fault. He deserved to die.
[After making the Lotus Justice Soul Tool, Ye Tianyun wanted to test it out and find out which was superior: his weapon or Tang San's Hidden Weapons.]
The Live Broadcast Room hadn't even finished playing when Tang San started boasting again:
"Of course the Godly Zhuge Crossbow is superior. It was developed over generations by our Tang Sect's predecessors. What's a Soul Tool compared to that?"
Everyone fell silent. The Live Broadcast Room wouldn't be showing this for no reason. The Godly Zhuge Crossbow might not be its equal.
[Next, let's see the power of the Soul Tool, Lotus Justice.]
The scene shifted. Carrying the Lotus Justice pistol, Ye Tianyun headed out into the wild.
But he hadn't gone far when a Spirit Master blocked his way.
The Spirit Master looked Ye Tianyun up and down, greed gleaming in his eyes:
"Kid, I saw you ordering a lot of things from Blacksmith Shops and using plenty of rare metals. You must be loaded. Hand over your money."
As he spoke, the Spirit Master made sure no one was around, then released his Spirit Rings.
One white and two yellow rings. He was an utterly ordinary Soul Elder, but in Nuoding City, that already made him a big shot.
Even the Nuoding City Lord was only a three-ring Soul Elder.
Watching the Live Broadcast Room, Tang San sneered:
"He's dead for sure. A three-ring Soul Elder isn't someone Ye Tianyun can handle. And that Soul Tool isn't the Godly Zhuge Crossbow."
He firmly believed that if it were the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, it could easily kill a three-ring Soul Elder, but the Soul Tool couldn't.
Yu Xiaogang had moved to another spot and was sneering too:
"The Soul Tool is definitely inferior to Little Scumbag's Godly Zhuge Crossbow. Ye Tianyun's about to get taught a lesson."
The Soul Saint Brothers had run over as well.
Naturally, they couldn't stand Yu Xiaogang mocking Ye Tianyun, so they mocked him in turn:
"Not necessarily. He becomes a Dou Di in the end, more powerful than a God King. He'll definitely win this time."
Yu Xiaogang's face darkened. Why were those three brothers here again? He really didn't want to see them. They were always picking on him.
"Look, they're about to fight!"
A shout made Yu Xiaogang look up again, his gaze fixed on the Live Broadcast Room.
Inside the Live Broadcast Room.
Faced with the Soul Elder's threat, Ye Tianyun remained calm and simply took out the Lotus Justice Soul Tool.
Seeing the "toy" in Ye Tianyun's hand, the Soul Elder burst out laughing:
"Is that thing any use? A few days ago, I saw a plain-looking Little Scumbag about your age make a toy too. What good was that?"
Ye Tianyun: "..."
That plain-looking Little Scumbag about his age sounded oddly familiar.
It seemed like he was talking about someone in particular.
Tang San was seething with murderous intent. The Soul Elder was talking about him. This was too much.
Even in another world, someone was mocking him.
"He deserves to die."
Tang San really wanted to kill the Soul Elder, but this was another world, and there was nothing he could do. He could only endure it.
"Looks like you don't want to hand over the money. Then I'll just have to kill you first."
The Soul Elder activated his first Soul Skill.
Ye Tianyun didn't hesitate at all. If someone wanted to kill him, they'd better be ready to die themselves.
He raised the Lotus Justice, set his finger on the trigger, and channeled Soul Power into it, activating the formation patterns inside the Soul Tool.
Bang...
The gunshot rang out suddenly.
Tang San's eyes went wide. He pushed his Purple Demon Eye to its limit, trying to see the trajectory of the Soul Tool Ye Tianyun had created.
Though he'd acted disdainful, deep down he took it very seriously. He was afraid the Soul Tool might surpass Hidden Weapons.
The instant the gunshot rang out, a bullet flashed past.
Propelled by Soul Power, the bullet flew incredibly fast—about twice as fast as an ordinary pistol bullet.
Tang San pushed his Purple Demon Eye as hard as he could, but he could only barely track the bullet's trajectory. He was utterly shocked.
Even his Purple Demon Eye couldn't follow it. That proved the Soul Tool's speed had far surpassed the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.
As for its destructive power, Tang San fell silent again. Ye Tianyun's bullet had pierced straight through the Soul Elder's body.
Thud...
The Soul Elder collapsed into a pool of blood.
In the Parallel Universe, most people had heard of Soul Tools, so they remained fairly calm.
But in the Douluo Main Timeline, countless people stared in shock.
"What a powerful Soul Tool! It killed a Soul Elder in one move."
"If we had Soul Tool pistols, we wouldn't need to fear even Soul Elders anymore."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes shone with unusual interest.
Most members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were support-type Spirit Masters, so they needed defensive measures most of all. If they had Soul Tool pistols, they wouldn't need the Godly Zhuge Crossbow at all.
"It's nothing special. The Godly Zhuge Crossbow can do that too."
Tang San's voice was tinged with bitterness.
But the Live Broadcast Room helpfully explained:
[This is the power of the Soul Tool, Lotus Justice. It has five bullets in total, and each one is coated with poison. They also have tremendous penetrating power and can easily pierce through metal and stone. Their penetration is even slightly greater than that of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.]
[The Soul Tool, Lotus Justice, also has a much higher firing speed. It fires twice as fast as the Godly Zhuge Crossbow. Ordinary Spirit Masters can't react in time, and even Soul Kings would struggle to defend against a Soul Tool.]
Tang San's face turned completely black. Did they have to keep using the Godly Zhuge Crossbow to highlight the Soul Tool's advantages? It was like they were slapping him in the face.
He had his pride too.
The Live Broadcast Room wasn't going to spare his feelings.
[It could be said that Tang San was completely blind to look down on Soul Tools. The Lotus Justice Soul Tool had obvious advantages. By comparison, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow was the real piece of trash.]
Tang San: "..."
"Hmph. Besides the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, I have plenty of other Hidden Weapons. They can definitely kill Soul Tools instantly."
That was the last scrap of Tang San's stubborn pride.
