Tang Sect Secret Arts-
Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Bat Wing Reincarnation...
And then there were those "utterly unique, fucking awesome Hidden Weapons that would make the Tang Sect great again," things an elementary Soul Tool could easily counter. There were simply too many things to mock.
After all, if they really were that fucking amazing, the sect would not have declined so quickly in Douluo II ten thousand years later, reduced to an empty shell before even its home base was wiped out.
Lin Qian brought this topic up today to pique Xue Ye's interest, getting him to blow himself up by voluntarily asking Tang San whether these things could be introduced into the army. Threats and bribes would be even better. After all, a certain San was pure as ice and spotless as jade; how could he bow for five pecks of rice?
Leaking the Tang Sect Secret Arts, and insulting them with money, too-you have already chosen the path to death!
Once Tang San decided that, the Heaven Dou Empire could forget about recruiting him. Even if every emperor leaped out of his coffin, it would do no good.
Of course, Xue Ye was no fool either. Lin Qian had merely brought it up in casual conversation, not forced him to do anything. Unless Spirit Hall went to war in the future and Heaven Dou reached the end of its rope, he probably would not consider this approach.
After all, whatever the Tang Sect Secret Arts were like, Tang San only saw them through his rose-tinted view of his sect. Put them into large-scale army warfare, and they would be smashed to pieces just the same. Did he really think they were that fucking amazing?
So Lin Qian was merely digging a pit here.
