章 175: 172, Tang San actually plagiarized Senior Lin Yi! [First Update]_1
Chen Xin held the puzzle in his hands.
It was a square puzzle with each side about one foot long and approximately sixty-four squares in an eight by eight grid.
It looked a bit more regular than he had imagined, but he figured it would be much more difficult to actually piece together.
The overall color scheme of the puzzle was quite rich, but from its current state, one couldn't make out what the original pattern was supposed to be.
In fact, Lin Yi could see the correct solution to that puzzle.
On the System panel, it detailed the specific steps for Chen Xin's puzzle, and right next to it, there was a model display of the assembled puzzle.
Upon seeing Chen Xin's model, Lin Yi had an expression of disbelief.
He never imagined the complete pattern would look like that!
In this regard, the "Surprise Puzzle" was definitely surprising enough. Lin Yi could even imagine the look on Chen Xin's face after assembling it—it must be wonderful.
"Senior, I won't assemble the puzzle here to avoid wasting everyone's time,"
Chen Xin said.
Lin Yi nodded, "At a normal person's speed, it should take about an hour. Time is precious here, and I can't afford for it to be used on puzzles."
Chen Xin judiciously put the puzzle away and bowed again, "Senior, for the second attack."
"Hmm."
This second time, Chen Xin switched his Martial Soul to the Seven Kills Sword.
After acquiring the Sword Spirit, his Seven Kills Sword's damage also increased by a notch, but at the same level, the Seven Kills Sword with a Sword Spirit still didn't have as high damage as the Asura Sword Martial Soul.
The Seven Kills Sword, under Sword Spirit Possession, was enveloped in a crimson hue.
This was slightly different from the blood-red of the Asura Sword. The former brought the sword's intent to a peak whereas the latter epitomized the extreme ferocity and murderous aura.
"Third soul skill, Flowing Water!"
Chen Xin, holding the sword in one hand, caused flashes of sword shadows, drawing several sword flowers in the air!
The next moment, the blade, carrying an incredibly sharp aura, swiftly flew through the air. Its momentum was like a tidal wave, but the delivery was as smooth as flowing water, leaving several eye-catching crimson streaks along its path, like waves.
Compared to the Asura Sword's attack process, it seemed much gentler, but the damage was equally impressive.
They had one thing in common: speed!
Lin Yi looked at the panel:
[Blood loss: 157846]
[Remaining Health: 899958331467]
[Damage Grade: Black (High Level)]
[Random Reward: Zhuge Magic Crossbow*50 sets]
[Host Reward: Zhuge Magic Crossbow*100 sets]
"Damage 157846, Black Advanced Level damage; your reward is 50 sets of Zhuge Magic Crossbows."
Hearing this reward, the others were bewildered as they had no concept of the Zhuge Magic Crossbow.
However, Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin were stunned on the spot.
The Seven Treasures Glaze Sect had several hundred sets of Zhuge Magic Crossbows! All were custom-ordered from Tang San!
Previously, upon hearing about the Peach Blossom Needles and Furious Tang Lotus, Ning Fengzhi and the others hadn't reacted because they genuinely hadn't heard of them.
But the Zhuge Magic Crossbow was something they were very familiar with.
But hadn't Tang San said that the production blueprints were etched in his brain? It was impossible for a second person to know the method of production...
Chen Xin turned to look at Ning Fengzhi, and in the process of looking at each other, they could both see the confusion in each other's faces.
Lin Yi didn't care what they were thinking; he simply mechanically handed out the reward.
A black sphere of light fell in front of Chen Xin, and like magic, it instantly transformed into fifty neatly arranged sets of the Zhuge Magic Crossbows on the ground.
This made Chen Xin step back in astonishment.
The crowd below immediately stepped forward, craning their necks to see the spectacle of fifty sets of Zhuge magic crossbows laid out on the ground was quite impressive.
"Uncle Jian, are these really Zhuge magic crossbows?"
Ning Fengzhi asked in surprise from below.
"Let me see…"
Chen Xin crouched down, picked up one of the crossbows, and carefully examined it. Gradually, his expression turned to one of astonishment.
"Sect Master, these are Zhuge magic crossbows! And... I even feel that these are much finer than Tang San's! Could Tang San's be counterfeit?"
"What?"
Ning Fengzhi's expression was truly incredulous.
He stepped forward and made a bow to the others, explaining, "My apologies, everyone, for the small inconvenience and the delay, please forgive us."
Ning Fengzhi immediately went up to the stage and crouched beside Chen Xin to inspect the Zhuge magic crossbows.
From his shocked expression, it was evident that Chen Xin's words were indeed true.
These were not only Zhuge magic crossbows but without exception, they were much better made than Tang San's and their design even more advanced and robust!
Ning Fengzhi was dumbfounded. Didn't Tang San say that this was his "exclusive secret recipe"?
A smile appeared on Lin Yi's lips.
Indeed, Tang San had a talent for making hidden weapons, and the blueprints in his mind were not a problem. The issue was with the resources of Soul Land.
Due to resource constraints, the Zhuge magic crossbows that Tang San made were definitely going to be somewhat inferior.
But how could the resources of Soul Land possibly compare with the affluent System?
Products from the System were bound to select the finest materials and craftsmanship!
No matter how skilled Tang San was, he obviously couldn't surpass the System.
Ning Fengzhi stood up and walked toward Lin Yi, bowing with a serious expression and said:
"Senior, may I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead."
"The manufacturing method of these Zhuge magic crossbows, have you ever divulged it?"
Lin Yi felt a jolt in his heart.
However, seeing Ning Fengzhi's earnest and solemn expression, Lin Yi didn't dare to lie.
"Leaked it? It was so many years ago, I don't quite remember, maybe I did leak it out…"
Lin Yi's face revealed a kind of desolation and sorrow like the passing of time.
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, seemingly understanding.
He went next to Chen Xin and whispered, "It seems that Tang San must have taken inspiration... copied the Senior's Zhuge magic crossbows. I never imagined he wouldn't tell us the truth…"
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi's expression revealed a touch of sadness, as if he had been let down by someone he trusted.
Tang San and Ning Rongrong were so close; Ning Fengzhi suddenly began to worry about what impact this might have.
With his exceptional spiritual power, Lin Yi naturally overheard Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin's conversation, and his heart was nearly bursting with laughter.
Just think, anyone could tell who copied whom when Tang San's and Lin Yi's Zhuge magic crossbows are placed together – even a three-year-old could see it!
In Ning Fengzhi's view, Lin Yi had lived for so long in this world, obviously mastering the method to make Zhuge magic crossbows long before Tang San's ancestors were even born.
If he couldn't see who copied whom now, it would be a complete waste!
Ning Fengzhi was full of worries.
He would have to keep Ning Rongrong away from that boy Tang San in the future. Given that the kid's already so scheming, if his moral character was lacking, he would definitely become a hidden threat.
After Chen Xin packed up the Zhuge magic crossbows, Gu Rong promptly took the stage.
"Senior, it's my turn to attack."
Gu Rong said as he made a bow to Lin Yi.
