In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
The second weekend after Nuoding Academy opened arrived.
Tang San rose bright and early, finished his work with an enthusiasm that astonished even Teacher Mo Hen, then strode briskly out of the academy gates.
He had no choice but to hurry. It was windy today, and leaves would be blown off the trees. If he did not scram now, that damned Mo Hen would call him back to sweep again!
Instead of following Yu Xiaogang's instructions and going straight to the inn to find him, Tang San took out the map he had found in the academy library and followed its directions to the largest local smithy in Nuoding City.
He could not bear another moment without Tang Sect Hidden Weapons at his side.
If the Silent Sleeve Arrow had been of better quality, if he had forged stronger hidden weapons sooner, would he have avoided losing to Lu Chen?
He thought of those powerful hidden weapons recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
The Godly Zhuge Crossbow, the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Orb, Yama's Invitation, the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, the Peacock Plume-
And the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus he had forged in his previous life before leaping off a cliff to prove his convictions!
Any one of these could utterly annihilate Lu Chen!
Yes, after reflecting on his painful experience, Tang San had finally convinced himself and closed the loop of his reasoning, attributing every reason for his defeat to insufficient hidden weapons-firepower.
Thus, the moment Saturday arrived and the academy let out, he could hardly wait to find a smithy to join, where he could earn money by taking orders while using its tools and materials to forge Tang Sect Hidden Weapons for himself.
