Dragon's Origin

Chapter 343: Unique Weapon (Part 1)

After Wang Sheng completed the heavy sniper crossbow, those Grand Masters didn't really need to stay in the Marquis's residence anymore.

After all, they were from the Linglong Pavilion and were used to living in the Tiangong Workshop. After saying goodbye to Wang Sheng, they returned directly to the Tiangong Workshop.

Wang Sheng didn't impose any restrictions on this, nor did he tell these Grand Masters not to reveal anything about his new weapon.

He trusted the professional ethics of these Grand Masters, and, of course, he had even more faith in his own design.

Upon learning that Iron Old and the others had returned to the Tiangong Workshop, the Linglong Pavilion Master appeared before them immediately.

Someone had already sealed off the area outside, ensuring that no outsiders could hear their conversation.

The Linglong Pavilion Master was curious about what exactly Wang Sheng had made, that required so many Grand Masters and cost several tens of millions of gold coins. Could it really be just for a weapon?

Wang Sheng hadn't said anything about not revealing his weapon, so Iron Old didn't hide anything from the Linglong Pavilion Master, directly telling him that Wang Sheng had created a unique heavy crossbow. In Wang Sheng's words, it was a compound heavy sniper crossbow.

"Spent so much effort, used so many Grand Masters, so many top-grade materials, and spent tens of millions of gold coins, just to make a crossbow?" The Linglong Pavilion Master really couldn't understand Wang Sheng. This was such an outrageous waste! Even if the Changsheng Marquis's residence was wealthy, it couldn't withstand such spending, right?

"A crossbow with a range of twenty miles that can kill a Legendary Realm expert with one arrow." Iron Old and the other Grand Masters exchanged glances, with wry smiles on their faces, and could only explain.

"Kill a Legendary Realm expert with one arrow?" The Linglong Pavilion Master had been running the Linglong Pavilion for so many years, how could he not know what that meant? He almost jumped up on the spot: "How is that possible?"

If the initial armor-piercing arrows of Wang Sheng made everyone understand that an arrow through anyone would create a big hole, front and back, and they might still survive, then after the addition of the explosive formation, the little bit of luck in everyone's hearts completely disappeared. As long as it hit, it was certain death.

No matter what Legendary Realm expert or anything else, death was certain upon being hit by the arrow. Protective formations and armor were useless. They had personally witnessed Wang Sheng testing that batch of finished armor-piercing arrows.

According to Wang Sheng's requirements, one-foot-thick and two-foot-thick blocks of refined steel were placed two miles away.

The one-foot-thick block was directly pierced, and the crossbow bolt even flew far beyond after penetrating the steel, and the steel block itself became fragments.

The two-foot-thick block was also pierced, but not completely. Only the tip penetrated the steel block and protruded out, with the arrow stuck in the final part.

However, there was still a large hole blasted out by the explosive formation inside.

No matter how high the cultivation, no matter how strong the defense, could the human body be more solid than a two-foot-thick block of refined steel?

The one-foot-thick steel block that was hit was directly shattered, and the two-foot-thick one was a little better, with a small hole in the front, but a horrific big hole in the back.

Being hit by this armor-piercing arrow, forget about surviving, being able to keep a whole corpse would be a blessing from the heavens.

The Linglong Pavilion Master couldn't believe it, but the Grand Masters present were all looking at him as if he were an ignorant bumpkin who had never seen the world, forcing the Linglong Pavilion Master to believe that Wang Sheng had really created an amazing weapon.

"How far did you just say the range was?" Only then did the Linglong Pavilion Master seem to realize that Iron Old had mentioned a range just now, and it was a very exaggerated number. He couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Twenty miles." This time it wasn't Iron Old who answered, but Master Wu: "At twenty miles, it can still kill third or fourth level experts, but the accuracy is a bit poor."

"You must be plotting to deceive me." The Linglong Pavilion Master really smiled bitterly this time.

It was rare for so many Grand Masters to have the interest to join forces and play tricks on him, the Linglong Pavilion Master, but when he looked at everyone, not one of them had a joking expression. Immediately, the bitter smile stopped, and he asked in shock: "Really twenty miles?"

Everyone nodded silently, and Master Wu added: "We saw it with our own eyes." As soon as this was said, everyone nodded in unison again.

"A crossbow with a range of twenty miles that can kill a Legendary Realm expert with one arrow." The Linglong Pavilion Master's eyes lit up, and he asked Iron Old and the others: "You all remember how to make it, right?"

Seeing the Linglong Pavilion Master's expression, everyone knew what he was thinking.

Iron Old pondered for a moment and opened his mouth: "This is Changsheng Marquis's unique weapon. Without his permission, we privately make it, which is not in accordance with the rules, right?"

Although this world is backward, these craftsmen have always adhered to an ancient rule: without the permission of others, they will not make things invented by others.

This is why the bosses of those small shops in Worry-Free City would give Wang Sheng a thousand gold coins every time Wang Sheng wanted something new. This is the rule of the craftsmen, and also the persistence of the craftsmen.

"I'll go to Changsheng Marquis to buy it!" The Linglong Pavilion Master was definitely a generous master, and directly decided: "You don't need to worry about this issue. Changsheng Marquis is definitely a businessman, rest assured."

Based on Wang Sheng's previous behavior, everyone didn't have any objections to what the Linglong Pavilion Master said.

Seeing the Linglong Pavilion Master's excited appearance, he definitely wanted to do this business. But after thinking about it, Iron Old shook his head: "Useless!"

"What? Did he hold something back?" The Linglong Pavilion Master was stunned and hurriedly asked.

"We can make it." Iron Old shook his head, indicating that Wang Sheng had not held anything back, and after considering it, he replied: "It's just that no one but Changsheng Marquis can use it after it's made."

"Tell me about it." The Linglong Pavilion Master was also confused and couldn't understand, so he asked Iron Old to explain.

"That heavy sniper crossbow, just drawing the bow requires tens of thousands of pounds of force. Besides Changsheng Marquis, who has the strength to draw the bow?" Iron Old stated the first reason.

"We can use animal power to draw the bow. As long as we can shoot an arrow and kill a Legendary Realm expert, it's worth it." The Linglong Pavilion Master replied quickly.

"With such a long range, who but Changsheng Marquis can aim at a Legendary Realm expert from several miles away?" Iron Old said the second reason with a wry smile.

"How can the Marquis use it?" The Linglong Pavilion Master asked.

"The Marquis has a long telescope that can see things far away." Iron Old replied quickly: "We can't make this thing."

"Sure enough, he still held something back." The Linglong Pavilion Master sighed: "Close-range use is the same, it can exchange for the life of a Legendary Realm expert, it's worth it."

"With a cost of tens of millions of gold coins, Pavilion Master, it's enough to hire dozens of assassins to kill that Legendary Realm expert dozens of times." Iron Old directly threw this answer to the Linglong Pavilion Master.
