Heavenly Craft Workshop is located in the northwest of Ningchuan Commandery, near the Song Tao River. It took Lin Yi quite some time to arrive by carriage.

Looking at the distant Xiliang Commandery, Lin Yi let out a long sigh. Perhaps he should take some time to go back and visit.

Once things are on track, we'll go back and see.

Huh!

Just then, he suddenly heard a commotion inside, and he frowned. Was someone causing trouble here?

He said with a grim face, "Who dares to cause trouble here? Let's go in and see!"

"My lord, this..."

The guards outside the door didn't dare to stop Lin Yi and let Lin Yi in directly. Wang Yue didn't dare to delay and quickly followed.

Following the sound, they saw Qu Yi and Gao Shun arguing, both red-faced and looking ready to fight.

Cough cough!

Lin Yi coughed lightly and said angrily, "What's going on with you two? I ordered you to each lead an army, and you came here to fight?"

These are supposed to be two top generals, yet they're so unreliable, even resorting to fighting on the spot.

Upon seeing Lin Yi, the two shuddered and quickly stopped what they were doing, each looking at Lin Yi with a pitiful expression.

"My lord, Gao Shun, a mere heavy infantryman, dared to steal my crossbow. Isn't that going too far?" Qu Yi glared angrily at Gao Shun. "What are you meddling in, you piece of metal? Go play with your hammer."

Gao Shun retorted angrily, "Who says the Formation-Breaking Camp can't use crossbows? We Formation-Breaking Camp also have crossbows, which have long-range killing power. We need these crossbows too!"

"Damn it, you want to argue with me? My Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors are the real professional crossbowmen!"

"Go to hell! Why don't you mention you also have shield soldiers? You're just cannon fodder."

" Gao Shun, what the hell did you say? I want to fight you one-on-one!"

"Fine, let's fight one-on-one! I'm not afraid of you!"

"Utterly shameless! Take off your heavy armor before you speak, how are we supposed to fight like this?"

Forehead!

Lin Yi glanced at the two of them and said angrily, "What kind of crossbow is this? It makes you two want to fight one-on-one? You've never seen anything good before, have you!"

Seeing these two, he was speechless. Wasn't Gao Shun supposed to be dignified and upright? How did he end up fighting with Qu Yi?

This is making a mountain out of a molehill for a crossbow.

"My lord, this crossbow is incredible! It can hit trees 300 meters away and even pierce them. Its power is terrifying! It can even pierce through our armor!" Qu Yi couldn't help but explain in a low voice.

Holy crap!

Lin Yi was shocked by his words. Three hundred meters away was too exaggerated. It was farther than the effective range of a pistol. That was really impressive.

The key point is that it can also penetrate armor, which is somewhat terrifying. No wonder these two were fighting; if they were equipped with this thing, their strength would definitely increase greatly, making them unstoppable.

He glanced at the guards to the side and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where's Gong Yuliang? Why isn't he here?"

"My lord, Master Gong saw that they were about to fight, so he hid in the workshop," the guard explained, worried that his lord might misunderstand.

Lin Yi nodded slightly. He himself couldn't stand these two either; they were simply scoundrels.

He laughed and said, "Let him come over here, and bring this crossbow with him. Let me see what kind of powerful expert he is that has two of my generals about to fight."

The guards hurried off to inform them, and soon Gong Yuliang arrived, carrying a crossbow.

" Gong Yuliang greets my lord!" Gong Yuliang said respectfully.

Lin Yi nodded and laughed heartily, " Yuliang, it seems you've made something truly remarkable this time! You've actually managed to get two of my generals to cause such a ruckus here. You've certainly broadened my horizons!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Shun and Qu Yi blushed, but showed no remorse. With this thing in their hands, neither of them would be willing to give it up.

"My lord, please look, this is the powerful crossbow I've been researching."

Gong Yuliang unloaded the crossbow bolts and respectfully handed them to Lin Yi, explaining, "My lord, ordinary crossbows can be operated with just your hands, but this powerful crossbow requires much more strength to pull, so it's usually operated with your feet. That's why I call it a powerful crossbow. This thing is extremely powerful; it can pierce through cattle and horses at a distance of 100 meters and can also embed itself deep into large trees, which speaks volumes."

Hiss!

Lin Yi's pupils contracted. Now that he heard about it, it really was a divine artifact. But why did this thing sound so familiar?

After examining it closely, he suddenly realized what it meant and muttered, "What kind of crossbow is this? It's the Great Song's Divine Arm Bow! No wonder it's so powerful!"

The Divine Arm Bow was hailed as the most powerful weapon of the Great Song. Back then, the Jin State's Iron Pagodas was so formidable that it swept through the Northern Song Northern Song, leaving it with almost no power to resist.

The reason is simple: the Iron Pagodas was their ultimate weapon, unmatched by the Northern Song.

To put it simply, this thing is a full-body armor, even the warhorses are armored, and this armor is not ordinary armor, but a cold-forged armor, which the Northern Song's crossbows could not deal with.

However, after arriving in the Southern Song, they encountered the most advanced black technology of the Southern Song: the Divine Arm Bow. This thing required nearly 150 kilograms of force to draw, but its power was also extremely violent.

With a single shot, the Divine Arm Bow pierced through the Cold Forged Armor, killing the Jin soldiers inside. Although it couldn't completely penetrate it, the strongest shield, the Cold Forged Armor, undoubtedly lost to the strongest spear Divine Arm Bow.

The Divine Arm Bow is said to leave no survivors within a hundred meters. It is that ferocious and domineering. Ordinary people cannot withstand a few rounds of it. Its power is far more domineering than the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.

Judging from this design, Gong Yuliang has essentially produced the Divine Arm Bow.

" The Divine Arm Bow?"

Upon hearing this name, everyone was impressed but puzzled. It sounded incredibly powerful. Although they didn't know why their lord insisted on naming it a bow when it was clearly a crossbow, they were certain that their lord was right.

Gong Yuliang beamed with joy, excitedly saying, "Thank you for bestowing a name upon him, my lord. From now on, he will be called Divine Arm Bow. With a divine name, he will surely be able to defeat all enemies for my lord!"

"Haha, I'll give it a try!"

A smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. He casually picked up the crossbow, then drew the bowstring. It did require a lot of strength, but Lin Yi possessed the Strength of Lü Bu, so he could easily draw the Divine Arm Bow.

He easily drew back the bowstring, placed the crossbow bolt, and aimed at a tree about the size of a bowl.

Buzz!!

The crossbow bolt shot through the air with a powerful whooshing sound, then hurtled straight towards the tree with unstoppable force.

Bang!

To everyone's astonishment, the arrow tore through the tree, its violent force even sending splinters flying and scattering on the ground. The arrow, still powerful, embedded itself in a second tree.

Squeak!

The tree that was pierced struggled for a moment, then snapped in two right at the point where the arrow had torn it open; the force of the blow was simply too great.
