Ye Yin spent ten thousand resentment points to buy Forging Mastery and another twenty thousand to buy Divine Craftsman-level forging ability, successfully elevating his forging skill to its peak. All sorts of powerful forging knowledge continuously poured into his mind, and at the same time, strong muscle memory developed in his body. As for the so-called Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method, he mastered it proficiently and was extremely skilled at it. The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method has no upper limit. As long as the forging hammer and the user's body can withstand it, the method can be used continuously without interruption, exceeding the eighty-one hammer limit.
"Spend twenty Resentment Points to purchase fine iron! Spend ten Resentment Points to purchase a calcining furnace! Spend five Resentment Points to purchase a forging hammer!" He bought what he needed. After spending fifty resentment points, everything was ready. Ye Yin spat on his hands and rubbed his palms together, heating the fine iron until it was red-hot. He gripped the forging hammer and began to clang and clang.
The sound of Ye Yin's forging continuously came from the dormitory. Tang San, who was cultivating in his room, heard such a familiar sound and couldn't help but frown. "Why does this clang-clang sound so much like someone is forging?" he wondered. "And judging from the sound, it's very skilled. The forging level is definitely not below mine". With strong curiosity, Tang San walked out of his dormitory, following the sound all the way to Ye Yin's dormitory door. He was a little bewildered. "This is Yin Ge's dormitory. Yin Ge can also forge?"
Driven by curiosity, Tang San pushed open the door to Ye Yin's dormitory.
"Little San, you're here." While forging, Ye Yin was still able to communicate with Tang San at will, not worrying at all about making mistakes in the forging process.
"Yin Ge, what are you doing?". Ye Yin looked up at Tang San, but his hands didn't stop moving. He didn't speak, just watched quietly. But at this moment, silence was more eloquent than words. Finally, Tang San, feeling awkward, gave an embarrassed smile.
Tang San's gaze fell upon the object Ye Yin had already forged. The more he looked at it, the more it resembled his Tang Sect Hidden Weapon, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow. Although some parts were different, the general shape was very similar.
"Yin Ge, what is this thing you're making?" he asked. "It looks like a crossbow to me?".
Ye Yin's hand movements finally stopped, completing the final forging step. "A crossbow? Perhaps, but I don't think it's quite like that".
Tang San was confused. "Not quite like that? What does that mean?".
"Sizzle!" Ye Yin used tongs to pick up the newly forged item and placed it into quenching oil. As a sizzling sound rang out, the temperature of the red-hot iron part dropped, and at the same time, its hardness increased significantly. Finally, Ye Yin assembled all the parts together. It was an Upgraded Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
Tang San's eyes widened as he looked at the object in Ye Yin's hand. This was clearly a Godly Zhuge Crossbow! It was just two-thirds the size, and the weight should also be much less. It was a single-handed Godly Zhuge Crossbow. Then, the power of the crossbow bolts should also be correspondingly reduced. This was a "Castrated version" of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow!
"Yin Ge is actually so talented! He made a 'Castrated version' of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow all by himself! His inventive and creative power is simply too strong! Although I don't have such inventive and creative power, I have the even more powerful Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. That was a collection of countless Yin Ges."
"Yin Ge," Tang San asked curiously. "Did you invent this?".
"Sort of," Ye Yin replied, beginning to make special fine steel arrowheads again and also equipping them with gunpowder bases. "I also made something very similar. I call it the Godly Zhuge Crossbow!". Tang San excitedly took out his Godly Zhuge Crossbow. If it were anyone else, he would never have done so, but at this moment, there was a feeling of meeting a rare kindred spirit.
Ye Yin glanced at it and nodded. "Not bad, it's a big one. It's probably much clunkier, and the power might not even be high". A notification appeared.
[Resentment from Tang San +50!]
"No, mine is so big. How could its power be low?" Tang San protested. "Yin Ge, don't you know? The bigger it is, the higher the power! If you don't believe me, we'll go compare later, and you'll know!".
Ye Yin nodded. "Alright." He also wanted to test the power of his Upgraded Zhuge Divine Crossbow. He simply made nine special fine steel arrowheads, which were sequentially loaded into the Upgraded Zhuge Divine Crossbow in a disc-like manner. Each time it fired, the disc rotated once, allowing it to fire again. It could fire nine times continuously. It could also be modified into an arrowhead chain. Each time it attacked, the arrowhead chain would move to the right once, and the arrow on the left would be loaded, continuing to fire. Theoretically, as long as the arrowhead chain was long enough, it could achieve infinite rapid fire.
The two went outside. Ye Yin held the Upgraded Zhuge Divine Crossbow in his right hand, while Tang San held the Godly Zhuge Crossbow with both hands.
"How about this," Ye Yin scanned the area. "Let's use that row of tree trunks as the target. Whoever penetrates more tree trunks wins. Each person gets three chances. How about it?".
Tang San nodded. "Good! It's a deal!". The two came to the woods outside the small courtyard.
"Yin Ge, it's not that I'm saying anything, but how can your little thing compare to my Godly Zhuge Crossbow? I only need one attack to win."
Ye Yin raised the Upgraded Zhuge Divine Crossbow in his hand and got ready. He gently pulled the trigger. "Let the facts speak for themselves."
"Bang!" A violent explosion sounded from the Upgraded Zhuge Divine Crossbow in Ye Yin's hand. The specially made fine steel arrowhead shot out at high speed like a bullet.
"Puff!" The bullet pierced the first tree trunk, then quickly passed through it, and immediately after, pierced the second tree trunk, continuing to penetrate. Then came the third, fourth, fifth, sixth... eighth, ninth, until the tenth tree, where the bullet finally remained inside and stopped moving.
Ye Yin raised the Upgraded Zhuge Divine Crossbow and gently blew away some smoke. "Little San, now it's your Godly Zhuge Crossbow's turn."
Tang San swallowed his saliva, feeling very uneasy. "Yin Ge's 'Castrated version' Godly Zhuge Crossbow is a bit too strong!" His Godly Zhuge Crossbow had only ever penetrated two tree trunks at most.
"I'll go for it!" Tang San gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger three times in a row.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The spring mechanism made a strong clanging sound. Three arrows shot out in a straight line, accurately hitting the same point. The first crossbow bolt consumed a significant amount of power penetrating the tree trunk. The second and third arrows then penetrated through with minimal consumption.
