“Level 13 Spirit Tool?!”
Long Aoyu’s pupils shrank abruptly, giving him an even deeper understanding of the system shop’s terrifying power.
He knew very well that even in the later eras of Douluo Continent, high-level Spirit Tools were extremely precious, and a Level 10 fixed-installation Spirit Tool cannon already possessed terrifying destructive power capable of posing a fatal threat to a rank 99 Limit Douluo if it struck its target directly.
A Level 12 fixed-installation Spirit Tool cannon was even known as a god-slaying weapon!
During the era of The Legend of the Dragon King, tens of thousands of years after this point in history, the Level 12 god-slaying fixed-installation Spirit Tool cannon known as Eternal Heaven had even been used against the Abyssal Sage Monarch, proving that a weapon of this level possessed the terrifying ability to threaten a First-Class God.
Long Aoyu impatiently clicked open the Level 13 Spirit Tool section, where there was only one blueprint.
[Level 13 Fixed-Installation Spirit Tool Cannon, God-Slaying Grade, Blueprint, 100,000 Contribution Points]
[Description: The ultimate Spirit Tool weapon, capable of truly slaying gods with a single shot, containing heaven-destroying and earth-shattering might!]
[Note: All Spirit Tools can be directly exchanged for finished products by spending ten times the required Contribution Points.]
Long Aoyu stared at those words for a full five seconds, his heartbeat sounding like beating drums.
One hundred thousand Contribution Points.
If he directly exchanged it for a finished product, multiplying that by ten would mean one million Contribution Points!
But this was definitely worth it.
This was an ultimate Spirit Tool capable of truly killing Divinities, capable of easily destroying a country with a single shot, a massive lethal weapon that could be used to overturn the table.
Even the existence of such a weapon was enough to make any major force on the continent think twice before provoking the Body Sect.
“Unfortunately, it’s still far from enough to redeem it.”
Long Aoyu sighed lightly, forcibly moving his gaze away from that terrifying blueprint and sweeping toward the range he could currently afford.
Five hundred Contribution Points.
What could they be exchanged for?
Three Level 1 blueprints and one Level 2 blueprint.
He quickly went through the available blueprints, and a plan gradually formed in his mind.
“Exchange: One Level 2 fixed-installation Spirit Tool cannon blueprint, one Level 1 Spirit Tool gun blueprint, one Level 1 detection Spirit Tool blueprint, and one Level 1 storage Spirit Tool blueprint.”
[Exchange confirmed.
500 Contribution Points deducted, 0 Contribution Points remaining.
The blueprints have been stored in the system inventory and can be taken out at any time.]
[Special Description: Blueprints exchanged from the shop do not require manual study.
The host and designated members can quickly comprehend the manufacturing methods.
A maximum of three people can learn each blueprint simultaneously.]
Long Aoyu’s eyes lit up.
This meant that once the blueprints were exchanged, they could be worked on directly, saving a vast amount of time.
Four blueprints meant twelve people could learn them simultaneously.
In this way, completing the system quest would not be difficult.
Long Aoyu quickened his pace and walked toward the warehouse, swiftly running through the contents of the four blueprints in his mind.
Level 1 Spirit Tool Ray Gun, 100 Contribution Points, single-person handheld, effective range of one hundred meters.
A direct hit against a first-ring Spirit Master would cause severe injury.
Level 1 Storage Spirit Tool, 100 Contribution Points, one cubic meter of internal storage space.
Level 1 Detection Spirit Tool Instrument, 100 Contribution Points, maximum scanning radius of one hundred meters, with directional focusing mode extending the effective detection distance to one hundred and fifty meters.
Level 2 Fixed-Installation Spirit Tool Cannon, 200 Contribution Points, effective range of three hundred and fifty meters, maximum range of five hundred and twenty meters, capable of instantly killing a Spirit Elder, severely injuring a fourth-ring Spirit Ancestor, and injuring a Spirit King.
In this era, Tang San’s Tang Sect Hidden Weapons could be hyped up to the heavens.
Compared with the hidden weapons that relied heavily on craftsmanship and individual users, a fixed-installation Spirit Tool cannon capable of unleashing attacks comparable to the Spirit Ancestor level would be a massive lethal weapon when placed on the walls of a city!
Even the weakest Spirit Tools produced by the Body Sect could potentially change the balance of power in this era.
…
Body Sect warehouse.
Long Aoyu pushed open the heavy doors, and the old deacon on guard saw him and was stunned for a moment before quickly asking, “Young Sect Master?
What are you here to get?”
“Fine iron, copper cores, and crystal cores.
Get a batch of each first.”
Long Aoyu walked into the warehouse, his gaze sweeping across the shelves.
“Find me a room that we can convert into a Spirit Tool laboratory, prepare various tools, and find eight disciples who are interested in Spirit Tools.”
“The Sect Master and Elders have all agreed to this, so get on it quickly.”
“Yes!”
The old deacon did not doubt him and immediately nodded as he went to make the arrangements.
Long Aoyu stood in the center of the warehouse and took out the four exchanged blueprints.
After looking through them once, everything became as clear as if someone had carved it directly into his brain.
The dimensions of every single part, the structure of every connection, the required materials, and the direction of every Spirit Power circuit were all thoroughly understood.
“Not bad.”
Long Aoyu opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth curling upward.
“This is equivalent to a crash course in becoming a Spirit Tool craftsman.
Items produced by the system really are of fine quality!”
…
The next day.
Long Aoyu stood inside the newly converted Spirit Tool laboratory.
Calling it a laboratory was somewhat exaggerated.
It was actually just a vacant side hall next to the warehouse, but after cleaning it up, several long tables, several rows of shelves, and a set of basic forging tools were moved inside, giving it the basic appearance of a workshop.
The old deacon worked efficiently, tidying up the place in the span of a single night.
“Greetings, Young Sect Master!”
Standing in front of Long Aoyu were eight young disciples, all between the ages of fifteen and twenty, their eyes filled with curiosity and tension.
There were few disciples within the Sect, and Long Aoyu knew basically all of them, although he could not remember some of their names clearly.
“Everyone is here.”
Long Aoyu swept his gaze over them.
“The old deacon should have already told you what I called you here to do.”
“Reporting to the Young Sect Master, to research and manufacture Spirit Tools!”
The eight people responded respectfully.
“Very well, let’s begin directly.”
Long Aoyu took out the four blueprints from his bosom and spread them out in order on the long table.
“Spirit Tool Ray Gun, Storage Spirit Tool, Detection Spirit Tool Instrument, and Fixed-Installation Spirit Tool Cannon.
Over the next month, you will work with me to make one hundred pieces of these four things.”
The eight people formed a circle around the experimental table with varying expressions.
Some were eager to try, while others wore solemn expressions, clearly aware that this was something the Body Sect had never seriously studied before.
Long Aoyu spread out the four blueprints one by one and pointed at the clever-looking tall, thin fellow and the little chubby one.
“Liu Mo, Chen Yuan, take a look at this one.”
As he spoke, he handed over the blueprint for the Level 2 Fixed-Installation Spirit Tool Cannon.
Liu Mo and Chen Yuan took it and lowered their heads to look, their brows quickly knitting together as they tried to understand the complicated structure.
Unlike Long Aoyu, who was the system host, when other people finished reading the Spirit Tool blueprints, although they could also quickly learn how to manufacture them, there was still a process of comprehension.
They did not have every detail directly branded into their minds the instant they saw the blueprint.
Long Aoyu waited a few minutes for them to digest it before speaking.
“It’s normal not to understand everything immediately.
Next, I will demonstrate it for you.”
The other six people were also grouped into pairs, each claiming one of the three Level 1 blueprints.
Long Aoyu himself walked back and forth among the long tables, instructing them and correcting their understanding whenever they encountered problems.
At noon, the Storage Spirit Tool group made progress first.
A lean disciple named Lu He had an extra ring in his hand.
Its appearance was crude, but after injecting Spirit Power into it, one cubic meter of storage space appeared inside.
He figured it out in just one day.
This kid was born to be material for making Spirit Tools!
“Very good!”
Long Aoyu said in an appreciative tone as he patted Lu He’s shoulder.
“You kid really are a genius!”
…
Two days later, except for Liu Mo’s group, which was still wrestling with the Level 2 Fixed-Installation Spirit Tool Cannon, the remaining six had all gotten started and manufactured their first batch of finished products.
Three Spirit Tool Ray Guns were made, along with two finished Detection Spirit Tool Instruments and one semi-finished product.
Although there were more or less some flaws, after Long Aoyu’s targeted guidance and improvements, these few Level 1 Spirit Tools all reached the required standard.
On the fourth day, Long Aoyu led Liu Mo and Chen Yuan, carrying the half-person-high metal cannon mount, out of the laboratory and walked all the way to an open clearing outside the Sect’s valley entrance.
The cannon muzzle faced a natural stone wall in the distance, about two hundred steps away.
Liu Mo squatted on the ground to fix the cannon mount’s base, while Chen Yuan fished out a fist-sized metal shell from the Storage Spirit Tool.
Three magic arrays on its outer shell shimmered faintly in the sunlight.
He pushed the shell into the loading port from the rear, and with a click, it locked into the chamber.
“Step back.”
Long Aoyu waved his hand to signal the two to back away, then reached out to press the activation switch and injected his Spirit Power.
The next moment, the three arrays on the surface of the cannon body flashed brightly.
The cannon muzzle suddenly spewed out a compressed energy shockwave, enveloping the shell as it burst out of the barrel.
Boom!
The deafening roar echoed through the valley, and rubble wrapped in smoke and dust soared into the sky.
