Soul Land: Raiden Shogun Is My Martial Soul

Chapter 179: Buddha's Wrath, Tang Lotus!

"Brother Hao in his youth was a man of his word, upright and unyielding, with the demeanor of one destined to outshine the world."

Ning Fengzhi glanced at Kong nonchalantly and murmured softly.

Of course, this statement was meant for Tang San to hear.

Although Ning Fengzhi didn't fully understand why Kong was so interested in obtaining those blueprints for hidden weapons, since Kong desired them, he naturally wanted to lend a hand.

Ning Fengzhi had figured it out—Tang San didn't actually care about repaying any so-called life-saving favor. Otherwise, he wouldn't have presented just two cheap items to placate Kong.

But Ning Fengzhi valued Tang Hao's reputation and didn't want to tarnish his legacy.

Kong cast a glance at Ning Fengzhi, thinking to himself that this old fox really knew how to play along—manipulating situations with such ease and naturalness.

It seemed he'd need to be more cautious around Ning Fengzhi in the future.

To have risen to the position of sect master, could Ning Fengzhi really be a simple character?

Ning Fengzhi thought inwardly: I'm trying to help you here, and you're guarding against me!?

His words were essentially calling out Tang San for being dishonorable, falling far short of Tang Hao's legacy. Since Tang Hao was no longer around, what harm was there in praising him a bit?

But Tang San didn't understand the subtext. Upon hearing this, his face turned bright red, as though he were an ant on a hot pan.

On the side, Yu Xiaogang, oblivious to the true value of the hidden weapons, instinctively chimed in: "Sect Master Ning is absolutely right! The grace and bearing of Haotian Douluo in his prime were unmatched in the world!"

Yu Xiaogang was an ardent admirer of Tang Hao, after all!

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, he naturally agreed enthusiastically.

As he said this, Yu Xiaogang puffed out his chest with pride, as though he himself were the Tang Hao of yesteryears!

Tang San: "..."

Ning Fengzhi and Kong exchanged a silent thumbs-up for Yu Xiaogang.

What a teammate!

With a teacher like this, how could Tang San not achieve greatness?

It's just that in the original story, Tang San's "rebellious streak" emerged midway through, causing him to disregard Yu Xiaogang's advice, which is why he managed to succeed.

He knew full well that the spirit ring of the Man-Faced Demon Spider couldn't be absorbed, yet he did it anyway and gained the Eight Spider Lances.

He knew the fourth spirit ring couldn't come from a ten-thousand-year spirit beast, yet he absorbed it and succeeded, acquiring a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring.

Yu Xiaogang's theories on spirit rings were repeatedly trampled by Tang San.

Others rarely humiliated Yu Xiaogang as directly as Tang San did, starting from level 30. Tang San consistently disproved Yu Xiaogang's plagiarized theories and baseless speculations!

At this moment, Tang San was in an extremely awkward position. He wanted to refute Kong but had no idea how.

In the face of a life-saving debt, he had only offered the trivial Silent Sleeve Dart and the Shadow Shooting Hidden Arrow as repayment. Truly, his actions were hard to justify.

After Ning Fengzhi and Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San felt even more ashamed. However, the value of hidden weapons was far more profound than they imagined!

Oh, and that woman—she had merely glanced at the blueprints and immediately discerned that the Silent Sleeve Dart and Shadow Shooting Hidden Arrow couldn't compare to the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. This woman was no ordinary character either!

Unfortunately, her relationship with Kong was far from simple.

If not for this, Tang San might have even tried to recruit her.

"Master Kong, you jest. The Silent Sleeve Dart and Shadow Shooting Hidden Arrow may seem simple, but they are easier to produce. I only had your best interests in mind," Tang San said calmly, his face unflinching.

To deceive others, one must first deceive oneself. Tang San genuinely convinced himself that his actions were for Kong's benefit. That's right—this was entirely selfless!

"Sigh~"

Kong shook his head and remarked, "Who would have thought that Haotian Douluo, so wise and brilliant in life, would have a son who…"

At this point, Kong left his sentence unfinished, merely displaying an expression of regret.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, standing nearby, were utterly stunned!

This man was terrifying—his mind was so dark and manipulative that it defied comprehension!

When you killed Tang Hao, you didn't say anything like this!

Did you show the slightest respect for Tang Hao back then?

He was renowned as a legend but ultimately fell to a mere Soul Sage. Tang Hao surely died with regrets!

Upon hearing this, Tang San was filled with rage. What exactly did Kong mean by all this?

Was Tang San truly as incompetent as Kong implied? Without Kong's help, he could still have slain the Man-Faced Demon Spider. Were the Silent Sleeve Dart and Shadow Shooting Hidden Arrow insufficient to repay this favor?

"Hmph, I don't believe you can produce these things!"

Blinded by anger, Tang San had already lost his rationality. Suppressed frustration, coupled with Ning Fengzhi, Yu Xiaogang, and Kong's words, nearly caused him to explode.

The woman was indeed impressive—she could understand the blueprints at a glance. But if he presented one of the top three hidden weapons, would she still be able to comprehend it or even produce it?!

Leaving aside whether materials could be obtained, the precision required for the blueprints and components was far beyond what anyone in Douluo Continent could achieve. Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"This provocation? Fine, I, Tang San, accept it!"

"I'll see what kind of expressions you all will have later!"

"Wait, I can't give them the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles. Kong has a large stockpile of crystal threads. If they really manage to produce it, the consequences could be dire."

The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles weren't strictly dependent on crystal threads, but the threads were essential for maximizing its armor-piercing capability, allowing the other needles to achieve their intended effect.

Tang San was well aware of Kong's possession of crystal threads—after all, he had traded the Zhuge Divine Crossbow blueprint for some of them.

"This will do…"

With a plan in mind, Tang San brushed his hand over the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist, and a pile of blueprints appeared in his hands.

Keeping a calm expression, he declared, "Young Sect Master Yu Tiankong, I swear upon my martial soul that this is the most intricate and powerful hidden weapon I know of—the blueprint for Buddha's Wrath, Tang Lotus!

"If it can be successfully produced, it would have no difficulty in killing a Soul Douluo or injuring a Titled Douluo. I present this as repayment for the life-saving debt. Will this suffice?"

"Due to material constraints, I don't have a finished product—only the blueprints."

As these words fell, everyone present—except Kong and Ying—was utterly shocked!

Good heavens! Something capable of harming a Titled Douluo and killing a Soul Douluo?

Was Tang San boasting, or…

Tang San had sworn upon his martial soul, so it seemed that Buddha's Wrath, Tang Lotus indeed possessed immense destructive power!

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with golden light.

What a treasure!

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan was wealthy enough to gather any materials they needed.

What they lacked were such devastating weapons.

If they could mass-produce this, who in the world would dare provoke the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan?

Kong was equally stunned. Buddha's Wrath, Tang Lotus?

Wasn't this the number one ranked hidden weapon?

Tang San was willing to give it up so easily?

No—he must believe that this weapon was impossible for them to produce! Even if they succeeded, mass production would be out of the question.

That's why Tang San dared to present the blueprint for Buddha's Wrath, Tang Lotus.

Without a word, Kong took the blueprint for Buddha's Wrath, Tang Lotus and handed it to Ei, who was in his arms. Of course, Kong understood its value and Tang San's malicious intentions.

Ei said nothing, immediately beginning to examine the blueprint…
