It wasn't that Lan Hong looked down on Hidden Weapons; it was simply a fact.
As firearms and cannons grew ever more powerful, wasn't inventing an explosive crossbow bolt rather foolish?
Of course, this was also related to the entire Soul Tool system having gone astray. The whole system had become a tool for noble feuds and flashy displays of skill.
Everyone had forgotten that the original purpose of the Soul Tool system was to make life more convenient.
On the arena, Long Aotian was growing irritated by Huo Yuhao's endless stream of Soul Tool attacks.

As long as Long Aotian's Soul Power ran low, he would have a chance to defeat him.
