Though fabrication was extraordinarily complex.....making mass production impossible, and rendering it single-use....it was a device capable of threatening Titled Douluo!
According to Gu Rong, the explosion from the failed assembly could have instantly killed an unprepared Titled Douluo.
Gu Rong's unique martial soul had absorbed the full impact into another dimension;
otherwise, the hidden chamber where Ning Fengzhi worked might have collapsed entirely.
Even just producing the components had taken over two months of round-the-clock work by more than a dozen craftsmen.
Now, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's metal reserves were enough for only one more attempt....but with the experience gained, he believed that in two months, this ultimate weapon would be born within his sect!
Production of smaller hidden weapons like the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and sleeve arrows had also entered full swing.
He planned to fully equip the sect's core disciples with these concealed weapons.
When that day came, their self-preservation capabilities would skyrocket!
Thinking of this, a satisfied smile spread across Ning Fengzhi's face.
It was a good thing he hadn't fallen out with that monster Yuan Longxuan back then...otherwise, how could such an immense boon have fallen to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?
"Mm, delicious. You two little ones take a break and sit for a while. Consider this a short holiday—just relax and enjoy yourselves for a few days."
The overall strength of the Tianshui team far surpassed every other team in their bracket. Their victory in the tournament was practically guaranteed.
Of course, some ill-intentioned parties might try dirty tricks off the field, but Yuan Longxuan had placed nine Limit Douluo-level black-armored puppets in each girl's shadow.
Even if Qian Daoliu himself showed up, he'd get beaten senseless....whether he could crawl away afterward was another question entirely.
Meanwhile, Prince Xue Xing, standing behind Xue Ye, wore an expression as though he had just lost his mother.
His once-white beard had fallen out completely, giving him an eerie, effeminate look.
Following speeches from Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi, the tournament officially began.
The cunning old fox Ning Fengzhi had originally intended to pass the microphone to Yuan Longxuan for a few words, but a single glare from him sent the idea retreating.
From the side of the VIP platform, the announcer declared in a clear voice:
"The team drawn to face the Tiandou Royal Academy's second team will compete in today's only match.
Victory grants an early point; defeat means immediate elimination from the preliminaries! Now, I announce the draw results."
"Preliminaries Round One: Canghui Academy versus Purple Star Academy."
"Preliminaries Round One: Auckland Academy versus Blazing Radiance Academy."
"Preliminaries Round One: Tiandou Royal Academy Second Team versus Tianshui Academy."
As the other teams gradually withdrew, Shui Bing'er and the girls were playing rock-paper-scissors to decide who would stay for the match.
Three minutes later, four of the little ones skipped away happily, clearly in high spirits.
"Then I'll lead the team for this one."
Dugu Yan watched Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu leave the stage hand in hand.
She had no choice but to step up as captain.
Though she was the strongest by far, she deeply respected the original team captain Shui Bing'er and vice-captain Xue Wu. As a latecomer.....and with everyone now sisters—she was happy to take it easy.
But when the others left the field, it naturally fell to her, the big sister, to take charge.
"Mm-hmm! Sister Yan, let's go! One punch and we'll smash these sissies!"
Wu Ling's face brimmed with excitement. After all, Yuan Longxuan had promised that if they won the championship, each of them would receive a special reward.
Though Wu Ling didn't know what it was, anything from Brother Yuan Longxuan had to be wonderful.
"Hehe, I feel like we've already won. Wu Ling, look.....those effeminate guys from Tiandou Royal Academy's second team wilted like frostbitten cabbages the moment they saw Sister Yan."
Soon, with the other teams cleared from the field, the announcer began his introduction.
"Now, please welcome the Tiandou Royal Academy Second Team to the arena!"
As his words fell, thunderous cheers erupted from the packed spectator stands. It was clear the audience loved grand spectacles like this.
In fact, the main arena had five separate platforms, but the other four remained closed today, draped in thick black cloth.
"And next, our top contender—the members of Tianshui Academy!"
The announcer's enthusiastic voice ignited the entire crowd.
"Tianshui Academy!!"
"Goddesses!!!!"
A tidal wave of cheers crashed over the field. Every member of Tianshui Academy was a rare beauty, and their talent was astonishing....no less than the most gifted male geniuses of their generation.
