Chapter 81 - Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament (11) (1/2)
In an unknown room, in an unknown building,
Four people were present, two youths, one middle-aged man and one old man. If anyone else was here they would instantly recognize the old man as the Emperor of Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Ye and one of the youths as his son the crown prince, Xue Beng and the middle-aged man as the head of the Seven Treasures Clan, Ning Fengzhi while the only one who they would have trouble recognizing would be the other youth, Tang San.
”Tang San, I was quite impressed by your performance in the qualifiers though it was a pity that you didn't have many chances to fight in the ranking tournament but I do not doubt that your team would win the tournament this year”
Tang San bowed and said,
”I thank Emperor for having such a high opinion of our team, but most of the credit would have to be given to my teacher Xiaogang, you might know of him as the Grandmaster, if it wasn't for him I would have just been an ordinary village boy who was lucky to be born with full innate power and had an ordinary Blue Silver Grass as his spirit”
”Yes, schoolmaster Ning also told me about this Grandmaster from your academy, I would hope to meet him too but since you all have to go to Spirit City for the tournament I can only do so after the tournament. Tang San, I want to know from you, are you the sect master of the Tang Sect??”
With this question, the Emperor had brought out one of the main reasons he had wanted to meet with Tang San,
”It is true, your majesty, I am the sect master of the Tang Sect but though I say the Tang Sect, I might be the only member as of yet, all the pills and hidden weapons which were produced and sold were made by me and I have only made a small foundation by getting the Strength Clan from Heaven Dou to join my clan and though we have much better pills and weapons, I don't dare sell them openly with my current strength”
”I see, then Sect Master Tang, can you tell me anything about any other pill or weapon which you haven't sold yet??”
Tang San looked towards Ning Fengzhi, who nodded his head, he was not so comfortable with telling this out in the open as he wasn't that confident in protecting himself as of yet once this information got out,
”Emperor Ye, in hidden weapons we have the Godly Zhuge Crossbow which I have sold to Uncle Ning, apart from that, there is another weapon which requires a lot of people to carry and is more of a war weapon than a hidden weapon, I call it, short cannon, it launched a heavy shell at very high speed which explodes on contact with the ground, it can also be used as a defense weapon and, its range is 500m to 1km and blast radius is approximately 10 to 15 meters but the transportation for this weapon is the major problem.
As for pills, I have a lot of formulas, the best ones would be the instant burst pill and physical tempering pills. I have them from the Spirit Master level to the Spirit Saint Level, the instant burst pill can raise one's combat power by 20 to 25% but it places a heavy strain on the user while the physical tempering pills can be used even by ordinary people to make their physique much stronger but for spirit masters the pill of one level can only be used once before its effects start to diminish, but if one uses a pill of a level higher than theirs their body would explode.
These are one of the two basic pills, there are other pills as well but in the end, pills can only be used to raise elites in an army and due to using a lot of pills one's foundations and talent might crumble so they shouldn't be used too much”
”Hmm….. to be honest, Sect Master Tang, though I think that you're hiding something with the pills you have, I'm deeply interested in that weapon which you told of, can you show one to me??”
Tang San slightly smiled at that, he had much more powerful pills in his records, like those which can raise one's rank by ten but would cause them to not be able to advance anymore or pills which can be used as suicide bombs killing everyone under the spirit saint level within five meters to the user along with the user or many such pills, but these were going to be the inner secrets of the sect so he couldn't just leak them as they were. But he still complied with his request to see the short canon he had.
He took out a storage ring from his Twenty Four Moonlight Bridges and took out the short canon from it.
It was a pitch-black tube which was about two meters in length and had an inner diameter of 60m with a thickness of the tube being one inch, the tube had two rods which acted as stands to it along with an aiming scope.
It looked like a canon but it was slightly different as it had a button connected to a large wire as the trigger, something from the modern world, this was one of those weapons which incorporated the concepts of the two worlds.
He took out the shell from the ring and placed it to the side, it was like a bowling ball but heavier.
The three members in the room were quite curious about this device, in this world they mainly relied on spirits and spirit power to develop, the most they had as a weapon was the bow and arrow, they had no concepts such as canons or anything like that so this weapon which Tang San had, which can be used as a defensive and attacking weapon was a revolutionary concept to them.
Ning Fengzhi praised his daughter for finding such a talented man as her husband while Emperor Ye and Xue Beng were quite astonished by his talent and thinking, they finally understood the true worth of the Tang Sect, their plan was that as long as Tang San won the championship they could use that as an excuse to promote him to the Earl or Marquis rank but when he saw this weapon he finally understood the true worth of the Tang Sect and decided on something else.
But the three came to another realization, no smart person would show his clans or sects secrets no matter what, this meant that he would have much more powerful weapons and pills in his sect, if this was any other time they would have made him join either of their forces but in times of war they couldn't afford to lose his favor and would have to help him out with his sect.
”Tang San, I hope that you win the championship this time, I heard that it was a condition for you to graduate, wasn't it?? After you graduate I want you to attend the Moon Pavillion for training after which I plan to evaluate your nobility rank, if you aren't interested in nobility then accept only the title”
