That Is Not My Sister But Bibi Dong?!

Ye Tian blinked and pointed to his cheek.

"Hmph, that doesn't count," Hu Liena stuck out her tongue, seizing on Ye Tian's earlier statement: "You said even if a Title Douluo came, your troops could still defeat them."

"The 98K rifle may be powerful, but against a Soul Saint-level expert, it's almost useless. Let alone a Title Douluo who can easily crush a Soul Saint."

Ye Tian pouted, "I knew you'd argue like this. The 98K rifle is just standard equipment for my special forces. To deal with a Title Douluo, we of course need a secret weapon!"

Bibi Dong, standing quietly to the side, watched Ye Tian with growing interest.

Ye Tian didn't notice her gaze and instead clapped his hands toward Zhou Long in the distance: "Go and gather the artillery battalion. Begin the second phase of Plan A."

Since crossing over to the Douluo Continent, Ye Tian had obtained many blueprints for modern weapons through his Patience System.

With vast financial backing, he recruited a team of highly skilled blacksmiths and manufactured many weapons.

The howitzers used by the artillery were one of them.

Ye Tian, along with his sister and Hu Liena, walked toward the artillery positions.

At that moment, an entire artillery battalion stood at attention, saluting Ye Tian, "Greetings, young master!"

"Hello, brothers!" Ye Tian waved his hand.

A soldier quickly ran over and handed Ye Tian three binoculars.

Ye Tian gave two of them to Bibi Dong and Hu Liena, explaining: "Due to the powerful explosions, it's not safe to watch up close."

"But with these binoculars, you can still see everything clearly."

The two women curiously picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance.

They were both stunned!

The mountaintop five kilometers away was crystal clear! Hu Liena even saw a caterpillar squirming on a tree five kilometers away!

"This is so clear!" Hu Liena exclaimed in surprise.

Although Bibi Dong was equally shocked inside, she kept a calm exterior and asked, "Xiaotian, did you invent this too?"

"Yes, I did," Ye Tian smiled. "Its structure is quite simple, only requiring two finely polished lenses."

Bibi Dong marveled, "The simpler something is, the more extraordinary it can be!"

"That's very true," Ye Tian agreed. He then turned to Hu Liena, confidently raising a finger, "Soon, you'll see what I mean when I say that not even a Title Douluo can escape within this range. Truth prevails everywhere within range."

"Yeah, right. I don't believe that these metal tubes can defeat a Title Douluo," Hu Liena teased, sticking out her tongue.

She glanced around at the black metal tubes and round metal shells in the artillery position.

Though she wasn't a blacksmith, just one look gave her confidence that she could replicate these items.

Could these really defeat a Title Douluo? It seemed utterly absurd.

As Hu Liena mulled over this, Ye Tian decisively gave orders to the artillery troops.

"Target, the mountaintop ahead! Firepower cover! Open fire!"

The messenger relayed Ye Tian's command: "Target: front mountaintop, 43 degrees angle, wind speed 23, three rounds of volley fire, open fire!"

The artillerymen loaded shells and propellant, pulled the bolts.

The next moment—

Boom! Boom! Boom! The shockwaves rippled across the battlefield.

A powerful sense of danger brushed past Hu Liena, making her hair stand on end!

Through the binoculars, she saw mushroom clouds blooming over the distant, lush mountaintop.

The continuous explosions, combined with the terrifying atmosphere, made Hu Liena gasp.

What kind of weapon is this? It's terrifying!

After five minutes, the bombardment stopped.

The smoke cleared, and the once-green mountaintop was now devoid of vegetation.

Even the mountain itself had been flattened by the artillery.

Through the binoculars, she could clearly see large craters dotting the mountaintop.

These were the marks left by the howitzer explosions.

Seeing this, Hu Liena completely believed what Ye Tian had said earlier and was too shocked to speak. Even a Title Douluo wouldn't survive such a barrage of firepower!

While Hu Liena was still in shock, someone suddenly patted her shoulder. She looked up and saw Ye Tian smiling at her.

"Nana, do you believe me now?" Ye Tian asked with a radiant smile.

"I believe you," Hu Liena nodded solemnly, recovering from her shock.

"And don't forget our little bet," Ye Tian grinned, raising his hand in a playful gesture.

Hearing this, Hu Liena's face flushed red, and she avoided Ye Tian's gaze.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong stood gazing at the distant mountaintop, her expression heavy with thought.

She looked at Ye Tian seriously, "Xiaotian, what kind of weapon is this?"

Ye Tian explained with a smile, "This is a howitzer. It can deal with Title Douluo below level 95."

"But if the opponent has a top-tier martial soul or exceeds level 95, the howitzer might not be able to do much damage."

"You tricked me!" Hu Liena huffed, her voice playful yet fierce.

Ye Tian squeezed her pouting lips and retorted, "How did I trick you? Below level 95 is still a Title Douluo! Besides, I haven't even revealed all my secret weapons."

"If I bring them out, no matter what martial soul they have, even a Super Douluo will still die!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's eyes widened in surprise, "What? You have even more powerful weapons?!"

Since they were his sister and a close friend, Ye Tian didn't hide anything.

"Of course!" he nodded affirmatively.

"Then hurry up and show us!" Hu Liena's eyes gleamed with excitement as she tugged at Ye Tian's hand.

Ye Tian flicked her forehead playfully, causing her to yelp in pain.

"Not all weapons are suitable for demonstrations," Ye Tian continued. "Strategic-level weapons for dealing with Super Douluo, if exposed, would significantly reduce their threat."

"Besides, these weapons are incredibly expensive to produce and can't be used lightly."

"Pfft, how expensive can they be?" Hu Liena pouted, showing little regard for costs.

"How expensive?" Ye Tian looked at her and held up five fingers.

"Fifty thousand gold soul coins? That's not too much," Hu Liena said, confused.

With Ye Tian's salt production technology, fifty thousand gold soul coins shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Last time, she commissioned renowned blacksmith Xin Yun to forge a set of armor, which cost her one hundred thousand gold soul coins.

Fifty thousand didn't seem like much.

"Fifty thousand?" Ye Tian scoffed, "Five million!"

"Hiss!" Hu Liena gasped at this.

Five million! What kind of concept was that? The combined annual tax revenue of the two great empires was barely five million.

Yet Ye Tian's weapon cost that much.

It was simply too expensive! No one could afford to use it!

Ye Tian explained, "But the five million gold soul coins were for the total cost of research and production. Future manufacturing won't be as expensive. The main issue is that the materials are too rare and hard to find. It took me two years to make just two, so they can't be easily used."

"At least tell us the name of the weapon?" Hu Liena asked curiously.

"Rocket," Ye Tian said nonchalantly.

After hearing the rocket's price, Bibi Dong's eyes flickered. It was indeed quite costly, even for the powerful Spirit Hall.

She glanced at the black howitzers nearby and asked with a smile, "And how much does a howitzer cost?"
