Chapter 67: Sir, Times Have Changed! (Part 2)
Kong's eyelid twitched, and nearby, Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai were equally stunned...
Even Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, couldn't help but twitch his face. If Kong hadn't spoken up, Xiao San would have really tampered with it!
Kong blinked and thought to himself: As expected of you, Xiao San!
After accepting the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and its blueprint from Tang San, Kong thought for a moment and then handed over about a hundred energy crystals to Tang San, leaving him dumbfounded.
Wasn't it supposed to be all of them?
Why only this few?
There were at least ten thousand of those energy crystals, and he only gave less than one percent!
Tang San looked at Kong with questioning eyes, seeking an explanation.
"What's wrong?" Kong asked "puzzled". Tang San hadn't specified how many energy crystals to give, and he had already handed over a hundred. What more did he want?
"I saw it clearly earlier. There are at least ten thousand of those energy crystals, and you only give me a hundred?"
Tang San suppressed his anger and asked calmly.
This was the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and its blueprint! And he only got a hundred energy crystals? Were the Tang Sect's items so worthless?
Moreover, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow held a high rank among hidden weapons!
"Did you specify how many golden particles to exchange? Oh, are these called energy crystals? Fitting name. If you care so much about them, they must be quite valuable!" Kong said thoughtfully.
Of course, he knew what they were. Hearing Tang San name them was even better.
"Just a hundred. Do you want to trade or not? If not, the deal is off. I also regret it a bit! These energy crystals must have other uses; this black box can't be more important than them!"
Kong took out another energy crystal from his storage soul guide, infused it with soul power, and examined it closely.
Tang San was dumbstruck. If he could beat Kong, and if Kong weren't of such high status, he wouldn't have traded the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and its blueprint for these energy crystals!
These were the painstaking results of the Tang Sect's efforts over dozens of generations!
The trade was done, and although a hundred energy crystals were few, they were enough for crafting top-tier hidden weapons and general use.
"Yu Tiankong, just you wait! From today onwards, I, Tang San, will remember this. One day, I will drag you and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan down from your pedestal!"
"The Zhuge Divine Crossbow and its blueprint will stay with your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for now!" Tang San vowed internally.
Having decided this, Tang San came to his senses and silently pocketed the energy crystals, tacitly accepting the trade.
Suddenly, Tang San felt like he had forgotten something.
Xiao Wu: "..."
Dai Mubai: "..."
Feeling Xiao Wu's resentful gaze, Tang San's eyelid twitched. He scratched his head awkwardly. How could he forget about the injured Xiao Wu, his beloved? As for Dai Mubai, well, they weren't that close.
After Tang San helped Xiao Wu up, Oscar finally dared to come over and assist Dai Mubai. Oscar had been so stunned by the earlier events that he forgot about it.
Kong casually put away the Zhuge Divine Crossbow blueprint, then examined the crossbow in his hand. This thing, with its greatest power, could even kill a god!
A god in the Douluo World, hahahaha…
Kong calmly put away the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. It wasn't useful for now.
When the army presses in the future, he could simply reveal it and say, "Soul Masters, the times have changed!"
Thinking of this, Kong smiled.
It wasn't easy, but he got the Zhuge Divine Crossbow for just a hundred energy crystals!
Actually, this was understandable. Tang San needed the energy crystals. After two consecutive defeats in the soul fights, he needed them to break through high-level soul masters' protective qi. Energy crystals, also known as Dragon Beard Needles, were perfect for this purpose!
The Zhuge Divine Crossbow was powerful, but against soul kings and above, it was almost useless. If it couldn't break through their protective qi, how could it hurt them?
Tang San was a proud man, highly valuing honor, and he considered himself nearly perfect. He wouldn't allow himself to have any weaknesses!
Despite his opponents' superior strength, he believed that if he could break through their protective qi, he could fight across levels and even win using the Tang Sect's unique skills and hidden weapons!
This belief drove him to exchange the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and its blueprint for energy crystals after his second loss when he saw the crystals and lost his rationality.
He desperately needed the energy crystals!
Robbery? How?
Not to mention Kong's guards, Tang San couldn't defeat Kong himself, so how could he rob him?
Everything that happened was witnessed by Tang Hao, Flender, and the two elders. They didn't fully understand the significance of the exchange between the two.
To strong experts like them, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow was just a toy, incapable of enhancing combat strength.
The blueprint was equally meaningless to them.
As for the energy crystals in Kong's hand, Flender had seen Kong crush one. Didn't Kong buy them from his general store? Could it be a treasure?
If Tang San, the son of the Clear Sky Douluo, believed it was valuable and willingly traded for it, it must be extraordinary.
Flender felt a pang of regret. He didn't recognize it! Kong had bought it from his store for just one gold soul coin!
It was undoubtedly a treasure, and Flender couldn't help but feel regretful.
No wonder Kong bought only that one item. He not only knew its value but also its use, and he knew it could be exchanged with the Clear Sky Clan...
Thinking this, Flender's expression became complicated. Connecting Kong's previous actions, his intention had always been to use these "energy crystals" to get the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and its blueprint!
Understanding this, Flender's face twitched. He recalled Shi Nian's death and looked at Kong with changed eyes. This young man was anything but simple!
Being sixty-two at the age of twelve was impressive enough, but he also had a meticulous mind, using minimal cost to gain maximum benefit!
Technically, Kong spent less than one percent of a gold soul coin to obtain the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and its blueprint...
"Could it be that he intentionally took me to witness Shi Nian's death, delayed time, let Ye Zhiqiu teach Tang San and his group a lesson, and then appeared with the energy crystals..."
The more Flender thought about it, the more cold sweat formed on his forehead, and his back felt chilly!
If everything was part of Kong's plan, then he, Shi Nian, Ye Zhiqiu, Tang San, and others were all within his calculations?
"Shi Nian, maybe your death wasn't just because of that soul bone!"
Flender thought to himself.
He realized that his survival wasn't due to Liu Erlong but because Kong never intended to kill him!
Night fell, and in the heart of the Pure Land...
