Tang Xiao was drenched in sweat.
The remaining onlookers were clearly intrigued.
At this moment, they looked at each other, excitedly asking again.
"Is it true or false? Yu Chen speaks so convincingly."
Some still expressed doubt, but more had already believed Yu Chen's words and were analyzing it earnestly.
"I think it's most likely true."
"For this, just look at Tang Hao. With his slacking off in the later stages, if it weren't for the top-tier talent of the Clear Sky Hammer, how could he have become a Divine Craftsman? Can you become a Divine Craftsman by drinking all day? If you say that out loud, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Hearing his brother say so, someone nodded in agreement.
"Indeed..."
"I didn't even notice that point until you mentioned it."
"Moreover, although the Clear Sky Sect is now reclusive, it doesn't equivocate on things it needs to hold onto. To this day, it still holds a large number of rare mineral veins. Is this the true foundation of the Upper Three Sects? As expected of the Clear Sky Hammer, as expected of the number one Tool Spirit!"
At the end of his words, he looked up and sighed with emotion.
"Tang Xiao truly has great methods. I really thought that over the years, they had been so suppressed by Spirit Hall that they could no longer raise their heads."
"Now it seems that while suppression is real, it hasn't fundamentally harmed them."
"That's right, they're probably accumulating strength in secret, ready to re-emerge at any time."
Inside Shrek Academy.
Ning Rongrong, who had initially looked worried and dim-eyed, now had her eyes brightening.
She clapped her hands excitedly, cheering.
"Yu Chen's insight is truly sharp. Just from these scattered rumors circulating outside, he can analyze so much information."
Inside Shrek Academy, there were quite a few infatuated girls like her.
Everyone had clearly been holding back enough, so much so that when they saw this scene today, they were so excited they became a bit carried away.
They spoke without reservation.
"Hehe, do you think the Clear Sky Sect in the parallel World, if it knew that just because of a woman, because of jealousy, Tang Hao had brought such a great enemy upon them, would they be directly angered to high blood pressure?"
"This guy is truly a troublemaker. It's like this in the real World, and it's even like this in the parallel World. It seems this guy not only comes with a wife-killing buff but also a Sect-killing buff. Could this guy be the legendary Lone Star of Misfortune?"
The surrounding crowd discussed animatedly.
At this moment, their remarks became more and more outrageous.
In the real World.
Because of the complete severance, Tang Hao had originally planned to feign ignorance and completely ignore it.
But listening to these guys discuss to the point where 'Lone Star of Misfortune' came out, he couldn't hold back at once.
He snorted coldly, refuting.
"Hmph!"
"What Lone Star of Misfortune?!"
"You little brats, do you even know what 'Lone Star of Misfortune' truly means, just spouting nonsense here?!"
"As for how the love-crazed Tang Hao in the parallel World is, I won't speak for now. But as for myself, the troubles I've caused in the real World, I've always borne them alone and never thought of implicating anyone!
Yes, the Clear Sky Sect was indeed forced into seclusion because of me, but that wasn't my intention. Did I want to be an enemy of Spirit Hall? Wasn't it those guys from Spirit Hall who forced me?
If they hadn't come to my door, insisting on Ah Yin's life, why would I have ruthlessly killed Spirit Hall's people?!"
...
As soon as he spoke, the surroundings instantly fell silent.
The previously discussing crowd all fell silent.
This was partly out of awe of the terrifying strength Tang Hao displayed today, fearing to further provoke this Titled Douluo who was clearly on the verge of anger.
On the other hand, what Tang Hao said was indeed correct.
At least from this incident, he had no problem at all. The fault was not with him.
Seeing his anger, and the surrounding crowd falling silent, Tang Hao's face showed a hint of satisfaction.
Then he spoke, adding to himself.
"Besides, Yu Chen only discovered the source of the Clear Sky Sect's power this time. At most, this only proves his astonishing observational ability. It clearly proves nothing else, doesn't it?"
"Discovering their strength means he can bring them down? Isn't that a joke? Not to mention wanting to annihilate them within five years this time."
At the end of his words, Tang Hao's face showed a hint of mockery.
This time, he made no secret of his disdain for Yu Chen.
At the same time.
Above the heavenly curtain.
After Ning Fengzhi and the others recovered from their brief shock, they clearly had similar doubts.
He couldn't help but speak, actively asking Yu Chen.
After all, knowing the source of its strength and destroying the source of its strength are completely two different things.
Yu Chen couldn't possibly spend a fortune recruiting a group of top craftsmen to compete with the Clear Sky Sect.
Even if he really had that idea, he would most likely not be able to defeat the Clear Sky Sect.
After all, their innate Spirit is a hammer. This is too abnormal. An innate blacksmith's divine body. You really can't help but be impressed.
Thinking this, after listening to Yu Chen's explanation, Ning Fengzhi not only didn't feel confident but even felt a bit deflated.
However, seeing his appearance, Yu Chen's attitude remained unchanged.
Instead, he smiled even more brightly, adding and reminding.
"School Master Ning, haven't you heard that saying, 'Sometimes, what defeats you isn't a peer, but a cross-industry competitor'?"
"Cross what, cross-industry?" Ning Fengzhi was stunned.
"That's right." Yu Chen nodded, continuing, "If it were another Sect, I might truly be helpless. But the Clear Sky Sect... I can only say, it's unfortunate, it just happened to run into me..."
"Since School Master Ning has some understanding of me and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Academy, you should know what my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Academy has been producing and vigorously promoting recently, right?"
"You mean... Civilian Soul Guidance Devices?"
Ning Fengzhi was also a rare intelligent person.
At this moment, after Yu Chen's hint, he immediately thought of something.
He suddenly looked up at Yu Chen opposite him, but this time, before he could reply, he shook his head first, denying it, saying.
"You plan to use Civilian Soul Guidance Devices to overturn the Clear Sky Sect's dominance in the refining lineage? How is that possible?"
Yu Chen had long anticipated his current denial and skepticism.
However, this time he didn't open his mouth to explain too much.
Instead, he still adopted the old method, intending to speak with facts.
After saying this, he immediately beckoned, calling out to Bibi Dong nearby.
"Perhaps School Master Ning doesn't yet have an accurate concept of how far Civilian Soul Guidance Devices have developed. Coincidentally, I also brought a sample today, which I can let School Master Ning appraise."
Seeing his confident demeanor and actions, School Master Ning's expression naturally changed again, and he asked with a hint of suspicion.
"You brought a sample? No, did you even anticipate that we would be dealing with the Clear Sky Sect this time?"
Yu Chen took in School Master Ning's expression.
However, he didn't intentionally show off in front of him at this moment. After a slight smile, he chose to tell the truth, saying, "To be honest, I didn't. This is just an additional bargaining chip to convince the Sect Master; I didn't expect it to be used here. However, it seems to have been used in the right place."
As he spoke, he led the way, guiding School Master Ning to what he called his spirit tool sample, and uncovered the red cloth covering it.
And when the red cloth was removed,
School Master Ning was momentarily stunned.
He had never expected the spirit tool he saw this time to be in this form.
This was not the most widely circulated spirit tool improved by Yu Chen on the Douluo Continent, such as the spirit tool curved-shaft plow or the spirit tool steam engine.
Instead, it was a real, solid cannon!
At this moment, the barrel alone required one person to barely embrace it.
Looking at the dark barrel pointed at him,
even School Master Ning felt an inexplicable tension in his heart.
A moment later, he spoke again, with surprise and suspicion on his face, asking Yu Chen, "This… is this the Civilian Soul Guidance Device you mentioned?"
It was clear he couldn't connect this with the user-friendly spirit tools that Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Academy had always promoted to the public.
"Yes, I call it the spirit tool version of the Red Coat Cannon!" Yu Chen nodded. However, at this moment, he didn't explain anything further to School Master Ning. Instead, he urged Bibi Dong next to him again, "Bibi Dong, you can light it and let School Master Ning see its power."
"Okay."
"Sect Master, stand a bit further away, lest this attack accidentally injure you."
"Accidental injury? How is that possible."
Hearing Bibi Dong say this,
School Master Ning immediately scoffed.
He was about to say that no matter who this spirit tool injured, it couldn't possibly injure him.
After all, he was a seventy-ninth level Spirit Saint expert.
However, before he could truly speak the words,
Boom!
A loud explosion had already echoed in his ears.
The sound made the entire World tremble.
Let alone School Master Ning,
even Sword Douluo next to him was thoroughly startled.
And the shock that this spirit tool brought them at the moment was clearly not limited to this.
Turning back and looking forward again, they saw the direction the Red Coat Cannon's muzzle was aimed.
The entire small mountain was actually directly leveled!
Smoke and dust rose like dragons, billowing upwards.
Seeing this result, both of them were dumbfounded.
"This… is this the power a spirit tool can create?"
"Exactly, that's why I told you to stand far away."
"How about it, isn't the spirit tool made by my Brother Yu Chen amazing?"
Although Bibi Dong was not surprised by their reactions, seeing them like this, she couldn't help but show a hint of pride.
With her hands on her hips, she asked excitedly again.
And at this moment, it was not just School Master Ning and Sword Douluo who were shocked by the effect of this Red Coat Cannon.
Beneath the heavenly curtain,
the crowd of onlookers was also dumbfounded.
Even Tang Hao, who had just been certain that Yu Chen was arrogant and delusional, now felt his throat dry and his expression stiff.
Before, he had always been convinced that Yu Chen could only play dirty tricks and couldn't contend with the Clear Sky Sect head-on. But now, after witnessing the terrifying power of this Red Coat Cannon,
he had to admit that Tang Hao's thoughts had also subtly changed.
No matter how stubborn he was, he had to admit that if this thing were used against the Clear Sky Sect, the Clear Sky Sect would indeed have trouble enduring it.
"Damn Yu Chen, he's simply not playing fair! We agreed on outsmarting them, what's the meaning of bringing out the Red Coat Cannon?
After all this time, you built up such suspense, and five years later, you still plan to directly break into the Clear Sky Sect with brute force??"
The more he thought about it this time, the angrier Tang Hao became, and he couldn't help but curse wildly in his heart.
And as he was cursing non-stop,
above the heavenly curtain, School Master Ning, after recovering from his astonishment, couldn't help but burst into long laughter.
"This is more than just powerful."
"This… this is simply monstrous."
"Yu Chen, after all this, you were deliberately playing with us, weren't you?"
"You said you'd flatten the Clear Sky Sect within five years, mainly relying on this thing, right? This is indeed a feasible method. Tell me, what's the cost of this cannon?
Forget it, no matter how much it costs, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will sponsor you fifty cannons first, as a token of our sincerity."
After laughing, he patted Yu Chen's shoulder, clearly sharing a similar view with Tang Hao.
Finally, he waved his hand grandly, fully displaying the wealth of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
However, compared to everyone's excitement at this moment, Yu Chen, without even thinking, shook his head and began to explain again.
He clearly stated that if they secretly manufactured Red Coat Cannons,
there was indeed a high probability that they could successfully wipe out the entire Clear Sky Sect five years later.
But this was not the outcome he wanted to see.
After all, once something like the Red Coat Cannon was used, its destructive range was too wide, making it easy to harm the innocent.
Although he wanted to flatten the Clear Sky Sect, he was unwilling to cause innocent slaughter. He mainly just wanted to get revenge on Tang Hao and a few others.
"You want to get revenge on the Clear Sky Sect, yet you don't want to cause more slaughter. Where in this World is there such a good thing?"
"You can't have your cake and eat it too. Moreover, if your Red Coat Cannon isn't used directly for killing, how will you overthrow the Clear Sky Sect's rule?
I know you want to say that this Red Coat Cannon is exquisitely made and full of ingenuity, definitely not something that can be forged by simple blacksmith craftsmanship.
I admit that point. But even if this thing is exquisitely made, what then?"
"Even if you overturn the entire Blacksmith Association, you won't be able to bring down the Clear Sky Sect. In the end, you'll only be able to choose to blast open their gates with cannons!"
School Master Ning spoke earnestly.
Yu Chen continued to shake his head, "That's not necessarily true! Actually, I made this Red Coat Cannon not to blast open their gates, but rather to actively sell this item to them."
School Master Ning was stunned, "What do you mean, you want to sell this Red Coat Cannon to them?"
"Aren't you aiding the enemy?" Sword Douluo was bewildered.
Yu Chen retorted, "That's not necessarily true. Sometimes, economics is the true sharp blade that kills without shedding blood. School Master Ning, have you ever heard the story of Duke Huan of Qi's fondness for deer?"
"What is that, Duke Huan of Qi's fondness for deer??"
School Master Ning and the others, who were already puzzled, became even more confused upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Yu Chen immediately began to speak eloquently, explaining to everyone.
