Midday.
Just as Xiao Lin was cultivating, Dugu Bo paid a visit.
"Xiao Lin, the situation is critical right now. You and Tang San are coming with me."
"Coming with you? What's going all?"
Looking at the trace of anxiety on Dugu Bo's hale and hearty face, Xiao Lin frowned slightly.
Although he indeed wanted to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to cultivate, looking at Dugu Bo's demeanor, could it be that something major was about to happen? Was there any major event during this time period?
"For someone who is Master Xiao Yan's grandson, don't you know that the thesis Master Xiao Yan published will put you in danger?"
Dugu Bo didn't bother explaining further.
He grabbed Xiao Lin and flew toward the distance, heading straight for the Blue Silver Grass simulated cultivation environment.
So that's how it is.
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Xiao Lin finally realized.
It turned out he had been too high-profile, which had landed him in a life-threatening situation.
People from other factions would likely be just like Dugu Bo was before, wanting to kidnap him. Furthermore, people from those other factions wouldn't be like Dugu Bo, who was a mix of righteous and evil.
Those people could be downright sinister.
This couldn't entirely be blamed on Xiao Lin, though.
He had originally thought that since the members of the Heaven Dou Emperor Team had consumed the Immortal Herbs and sworn an oath upon their Martial Souls, as long as they didn't speak of it, nothing else would happen.
But thinking about it now, Xiao Lin had still underestimated the intelligence of the people on the Douluo Continent. Those with ulterior motives would definitely investigate the cause on their own initiative.
"Tang San, you're coming with me too."
Arriving at the place where Tang San was cultivating, Dugu Bo didn't say another word and immediately prepared to take Tang San away. However, at this moment, Xiao Wu, who had been staying by Tang San's side, became displeased.
She thought Dugu Bo was throwing another fit.
"Little San, Xiao Wu, all of you come with me and follow Senior Dugu Bo. Oh, right, we need to bring Tang Ni along too."
With Xiao Lin speaking up, Tang San and Xiao Wu stopped resisting and decisively agreed.
A short while later, the group of four led by Xiao Lin left the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy under Dugu Bo's protection. As for Xiao Lin, he had only left a leave-of-absence note at the Heaven Dou Emperor Team's quarters.
Under Dugu Bo's capabilities, a carriage smoothly departed from Heaven Dou City. The four of them sat inside the carriage, hiding within, while Dugu Bo acted as the carriage driver, keeping watch for them.
To guarantee their safety, Dugu Bo had truly racked his brains. Those who could have a Titled Douluo powerhouse serve as their carriage driver were currently limited to Xiao Lin's group.
However, Dugu Bo didn't mind it at all. He had always acted solely according to his own whims. Being a carriage driver was nothing to him.
Inside the carriage, because Xiao Wu and Tang Ni were unfamiliar with Dugu Bo, they remained quiet and reserved. The usually active Xiao Wu hesitated to speak several times, eventually shrinking back and leaning against Tang San's shoulder.
"Third Brother, where are we going?" Xiao Wu asked softly, leaning on Tang San's shoulder.
"We are going to a great place."
This was also the first time Tang San had seen Xiao Wu with such an expression, so he intentionally kept her in suspense.
"Ahhh, Third Brother, you're so bad!"
Hearing Tang San say this, Xiao Wu immediately began to act spoiled.
This left the remaining two people in the carriage utterly speechless.
A moment later, a thought struck Xiao Lin, and he intentionally decided to vie for Tang San's attention in front of Xiao Wu.
As if struck by sudden inspiration, Xiao Lin said, "Right, Little San, once we get there this time, I'll finally be able to conduct my research in peace."
"That's right! I can also focus all my efforts on forging my hidden weapons there."
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Tang San's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded in response with excitement. At the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Tang San couldn't easily use the Clear Sky Hammer to forge iron, deeply afraid of being discovered.
Furthermore, with Tang San's current cultivation level, lifting a 500-kilogram iron hammer to forge iron could no longer exercise his body properly, which had been leaving him feeling highly frustrated.
Now that they were heading to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he would finally be able to use the Clear Sky Hammer to forge iron. One had to know that the Clear Sky Hammer would grow heavier as his soul power rank increased, which was extremely helpful for his forging career.
Because they were discussing his favorite topic, Tang San completely ignored Xiao Wu, who was currently pouting and secretly throwing a tantrum.
"Brother Lin, I recently discovered that Soul Tools can actually be made like this..."
When it came to his area of expertise, Tang San spoke with torrential eloquence, without a single pause.
As Xiao Lin listened to Tang San's research on Soul Tools, he was secretly astonished.
He hadn't expected Tang San to have already reached such an advanced level of research. Because Tang San had communicated with Ning Fengzhi previously, he had promised Ning Fengzhi that he would help the disciples of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect forge a type of Soul Tool.
At that moment, the name of a hidden weapon instantly popped into Tang San's mind: the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.
Since he had learned about Soul Tools in this lifetime, this version of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow had been enhanced by Tang San. The enhancement involved embedding a soul power formation into the Godly Zhuge Crossbow to amplify its lethality.
When thinking of a soul skill that amplified lethality, the first one Tang San thought of was Xiao Lin's first soul skill, Heaven and Earth Toss. The 400% attack power boost of Xiao Lin's first soul skill was something that anyone who had ever heard of it would absolutely never forget.
Thanks to Tang San's dedicated research, he had already achieved half-success.
Although the current Godly Zhuge Crossbow didn't possess a 400% attack power boost, a 40% boost was definitely there. In addition, Xiao Lin's first soul skill also provided a hardness enhancement, so Tang San had added a 10% enhancement for that as well.
Tang San had spent a massive amount of mental energy on crafting this Godly Zhuge Crossbow Soul Tool. Inside the carriage, Tang San displayed the Godly Zhuge Crossbow Soul Tool to Xiao Lin.
"Brother Lin, this Soul Tool is incredibly troublesome to make. Every single mechanism needs to be reinforced by the soul power formation, otherwise, it breaks very easily."
"However, adhering to the principle of striving for perfection, I can guarantee that this Godly Zhuge Crossbow possesses enough lethality against Soul King level powerhouses. If used in a sneak attack, killing a Soul King is entirely possible."
Hearing Tang San's words inside the carriage, Xiao Wu and Tang Ni both sucked in a breath of cold air in disbelief.
A little gadget like this could actually kill a Soul King level powerhouse?
Although Xiao Wu had been with Tang San for a long time, this was the first time she had ever heard of Tang San possessing such a powerful hidden weapon.
As for Tang Ni, she found it even more inconceivable. No wonder she had previously sensed that Tang San would severely affect the destiny of soul beasts. Could this thing be controlled by just any random Soul Master?
For an ordinary soul beast to grow to the level of a Soul King, it would need a cultivation base of at least five thousand years or more. If every Soul Master in the future had one of these in hand, wouldn't that be disastrous?
However, Xiao Lin's next words quickly gave Tang Ni a bit of "peace of mind."
"But if that's the case, how are you going to equip the disciples of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with it? It might be better to remove the Soul Tool enhancement."
"That way, it can be operated even without using soul power. Wouldn't that be better?"
Xiao Lin, who was touching the Godly Zhuge Crossbow Soul Tool, carefully observed the difficulty of its construction.
In the end, he couldn't help but admire Tang San.
"Brother Lin, you're right. I can't afford to waste all my time helping others forge this specific version."
Tang San nodded with certainty.
"You're still the amazing one, Little San. Not only have you mastered enhancement-type soul power formations, but you can even complete the production of an entire interconnected Soul Tool mechanism like this."
Ever since Tang San's Purple Demon Eye made a breakthrough, his research into Soul Tools had become much faster.
In contrast, Xiao Lin's current research into soul bones and soul cores still relied entirely on the guidance of the two great Dragon Kings. He himself only had a few inspirations and unique development directions.
Given Tang San's mastery over enhancement-type soul power formations and the creation of an entire interconnected Soul Tool mechanism, did this mean Tang San could manufacture full-body armor in the future?
To tell the truth, Xiao Lin had long wanted to wear the Emperor Armor.
