Black World, Blue Tyrant Academy.
"Holy crap! Is the power of this shrapnel grenade really this strong?"
"Those were dummies made of ironwood!"
After seeing the power of the shrapnel grenade in the comparison video, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but widen his eyes and cry out in surprise.
"This power is probably comparable to a thousand-year Spirit Ability!"
"Just looking at the raw power, it's practically stronger than Little San's Soul-Chasing Death-Dealing Demonic Orbs, it's just not poisonous!"
But hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Tang San's expression became even uglier, and his heart was filled with rage.
To know, everything about the Tang Sect was supreme and sacred in Tang San's heart!
Especially the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons!
That was his ultimate, supreme pursuit!
This damn Fatty Ma Hongjun actually dared to compare Tang Chuan's shrapnel grenade to my Hidden Weapons.
It is simply a blasphemy against my Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons!
Therefore, Tang San couldn't help but speak coldly.
"This shrapnel grenade's power is indeed acceptable!"
"But its structure is not clever at all, there is no technical content to speak of, it is simply excessively simple."
"From this point of view, it is simply not worthy of being compared with my Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons!"
Hearing Tang San's words, the people around him were all somewhat speechless.
Indeed, Tang San's Hidden Weapons were very exquisite!
But as weapons, shouldn't they be as simple to make as possible?
Tang Chuan's shrapnel grenade, flintlock musket, and cannon were clearly much simpler than Tang San's Hidden Weapons.
Tang Chuan didn't even need to handle it himself; he just let Yang Wudi find people to make them according to the methods he left behind, and they could be manufactured.
The manufacturing difficulty was clearly much lower.
Yet their power was comparable to those high-tier Hidden Weapons Tang San brought out.
As for Tang San's top-tier Hidden Weapons, like the Peacock Plume, Torrential Pear Blossom Needle, and Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus, they only came to be after sacrificing a Divine Craftsman, Lou Gao.
How many Divine Craftsmen in this World could be sacrificed like that!
And most importantly, Tang San's top-tier Hidden Weapons used top-tier Materials like deep sea sinking silver.
But Tang Chuan's shrapnel grenade seemed to use ordinary refined iron and profound iron.
The cost-effectiveness ratio was simply a massive difference!
However, seeing how Tang San could not tolerate his Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons being 'blasphemed' in the slightest,
the crowd still said nothing. They just continued to look at the comparison heavenly screen, preparing to see how powerful the flintlock musket and cannon would be.
The comparison video continued to play.
[After testing the shrapnel grenade.]
[The second youth from the Breaking Clan stepped forward, holding up that long-barreled device, or rather, the flintlock musket. After skillfully loading gunpowder and iron pellets, he raised the musket and aimed at a steel plate thirty paces away.]
[Bang!]
[With a crisp gunshot, a puff of white smoke erupted from the muzzle.]
[Almost at the same instant, a crisp crack exploded from the steel plate thirty paces away, and a thumb-sized dent appeared in the center of the steel plate.]
[And the thickness of this steel plate was at least three centimeters!]
[Seeing this, Xue Ke's breath hitched for a moment.]
[She knew clearly that the standard armor worn by ordinary soldiers was only about this thick.]
[This meant that this weapon called the 'flintlock musket' could easily pierce through any conventional armor!]
[Finally, the third youth adjusted the angle of that cast-iron giant cannon, loaded it with gunpowder, stuffed in a human-head-sized iron ball, and then lit the fuse.]
[Boom!!!]
[An even more deafening roar than the shrapnel grenade resounded, and the entire courtyard seemed to shake!]
[The iron ball whistled out at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, slamming heavily into a specially thickened steel plate a hundred meters away.]
[Thud!!!]
[After an extremely dull impact sound...]
[...that steel plate, which was a full five centimeters thick, was actually smashed into complete distortion and deformation, with a huge crater appearing in the center and even cracks showing at the edges!]
[Xue Ke was completely speechless. She stared blankly at the distorted steel plate, with only one thought in her mind.]
[If such a weapon were used on the battlefield, ordinary city walls probably wouldn't even withstand a few rounds of bombardment!]
[Looking at Xue Ke's dumbfounded expression, Tang Chuan smiled slightly, walked to her side, and said softly:]
["Now you know what I meant by 'preparations,' right?"]
[Hearing Tang Chuan's voice, Xue Ke snapped out of it. Looking at Tang Chuan's calm, smiling face, shock, excitement, and an indescribable sense of peace welled up in her heart.]
[For a moment, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but turn red. She suddenly threw herself into Tang Chuan's embrace, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. With a hint of a sob in her voice, she said, full of emotion:]
["Tang Chuan... thank you."]
["With these, our Heaven Dou Empire finally has the power to protect itself!"]
[In response, Tang Chuan gently patted Xue Ke's back, soothing her excited emotions. With a calm smile on his face, he said:]
["This is only the preparation in terms of weapons."]
["As for the military, I also have a surprise for you that can comprehensively upgrade the military power of the Heaven Dou Empire."]
["The changes it will bring to the Heaven Dou Empire will definitely not be smaller than these weapons."]
[Hearing this, Xue Ke raised her head from his chest. Her reddened eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity, she couldn't help but ask:]
["What surprise?"]
[But to this, Tang Chuan smiled slightly and chose to keep her in suspense.]
[At this moment, Yang Wudi strode over, his face full of wonder and admiration. Cupping his fists to Tang Chuan, he said:]
["Sect Master, you are truly amazing!"]
["This shrapnel grenade, flintlock musket, and cannon are simply epoch-making weapons!"]
["And those steam engine blueprints you left behind previously, that thing is even more miraculous."]
["Just by boiling water, it can drive a massive iron hammer, exerting power comparable to a Spirit Master for forging. This has greatly increased our speed in making shrapnel grenades, flintlock muskets, and cannons!"]
[The more Yang Wudi spoke, the more excited he became. Pointing at that cast-iron giant cannon, he said:]
["These shrapnel grenades and flintlock muskets can be equipped to ordinary armies, significantly boosting the soldiers' combat strength."]
["As for this cannon, it is even more of a Sharp Weapon for sieging cities and capturing strongholds!"]
["If dozens of cannons fire in a volley simultaneously, even a Spirit Saint in the Martial Soul True Body state probably wouldn't dare to take it head-on."]
["Even for a Titled Douluo, unless they have a top-tier Beast Spirit and belong to a type that is exceptionally good at defense, if they don't dodge a round of volley, they could be blasted to death alive!"]
[Speaking up to this point, Yang Wudi shook his head with some regret.]
["However, it's a pity. Although this cannon is powerful, it is ultimately a pure physical attack."]
["If we encounter opponents who can deploy defensive Spirit Abilities like energy shields, or powerful experts who can protect themselves with spirit power and condense a spirit power shield, it will be somewhat countered, making it difficult to break their defense."]
[Hearing this, Tang Chuan suddenly smiled.]
["That's simple! You can develop another explosive shell, replacing the shrapnel inside the shell body with shrapnel mixed with hair gold."]
["This hair gold has a special texture and naturally possesses the property of breaking through spirit power, capable of making spirit power protection as fragile as thin paper."]
["When the time comes, even if a Titled Douluo is standing opposite us, as long as he dares to take it head-on, he will have to pay a price."]
[This made Yang Wudi's eyes light up, and he said excitedly:]
["Sect Master is brilliant! If this hair gold can indeed solve this problem, then this cannon will truly be all-destroying!"]
Black World, Blue Tyrant Academy.
"hair gold? My goodness!"
"Isn't that just Little San's Dragon Beard Needle?"
"If this cannon and shrapnel grenade both used metal mixed with that hair gold as shrapnel,"
"under the circumstance of not knowing about it initially, if one doesn't dodge, who could possibly block it!"
Seeing this, Oscar was also incredibly shocked, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in secret.
Beside him, Dai Mubai's eyes were also filled with incomparable shock.
As a prince, he could see even more clearly the terrifying role that Tang Chuan's shrapnel grenades, flintlock muskets, and cannons could play in war!
Compared to Tang San's Hidden Weapons,
these weapons of Tang Chuan's were much simpler to make and could be directly mass-produced by blacksmiths.
There was absolutely no need to have someone like Tang San assemble them, unlike when making Hidden Weapons.
And the power of Tang San's Hidden Weapons, in the final analysis, was still related to those special metals.
But if Tang Chuan's weapons were also equipped with special metals, their power would only be even greater than those Hidden Weapons!
On the other side, facing the shrapnel grenade and flintlock musket, Tang San could still deceive himself.
But when he saw the power of the cannon, and then heard what Tang Chuan said about the cannon also being equipped with hair gold explosive shells,
for a moment, Tang San's face couldn't help but distort completely. His eyes were blood-red, he panted like a bull, clenched his fists, and gnashed his teeth. He was completely unable to accept this, and his heart roared frantically.
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
How could there possibly be a weapon in this World that is even more powerful than my Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons!
This must be an illusion created by that White World's comparison video!
My Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons are invincible under heaven!!!
