Chapter 42: Hidden Weapon, or is it something upright and honorable?

The Spirit Hall.

Mimicry Training Ground.

Hu Liena and the other two were still diligently demonstrating their respective strengths.

Even though they were all members of the Golden Generation, they were currently following the arrangements of Jirou Yueguan and Tianwu Guimei.

The three of them sparred with each other in a round-robin format, each trying to maximize their combat potential.

Therefore, even though they were members of the same team and had been friends for many years, none of the three held anything back at this moment.

Since they wouldn't be killed anyway, they might as well use this opportunity to get some good practice in.

The goal of the three was very simple: to be more highly valued after being recommended to the Imperial Soul Master Academy of the Tianwu Empire.

Through the reactions of Native Yueguan and Native Guimei, they all understood more or less the same thing.

The Tianwu Empire was truly extraordinarily powerful; being recommended to the Tianwu Empire for advanced studies meant an immeasurable future.

Jirou Yueguan scrutinized the trio's performance, a smile constantly playing on the corners of his lips.

Tianwu Guimei was the same; the two of them just stood there, and without needing to deliberately urge them on, the trio of Hu Liena was already completely exceeding the requirements of their arrangements.

"Old Guan, this method of yours is indeed quite good; their performance is much more diligent," Tianwu Guimei said with interest via soul power transmission.

Jirou Yueguan chuckled: "If we didn't have a few tricks to deal with some little brats, wouldn't we have lived these past hundred years in vain?"

"The matter of those three little brats isn't the point; the point is the situation with the Spirit Hall in this world. Haven't you noticed that since just a moment ago, the atmosphere in the Spirit Hall has become much more solemn?"

"The difference is obvious; the people of the Spirit Hall are working much harder. It must be that those two moles have handled everything properly."

Tianwu Guimei sneered incessantly.

Reminded by Jirou Yueguan, he finally diverted a portion of his attention to perceive the surroundings.

It was just as Jirou Yueguan had said.

Now, within the Spirit Hall, everyone's activities had clearly become much more diligent.

The Title Douluo who had been mobilized seemed to have received some kind of order, and they were all standing by in full battle array at this moment.

Each and every one of them put on a posture as if they wouldn't even let a fly into the Spirit Hall.

"Indeed, they are working much harder. It seems this Matriarch of this world also really wants to go to our Tianwu Empire."

"Knowing that our Tianwu Empire is very powerful, she can't suppress the ambition in her heart. She probably thinks that after arriving at our Tianwu Empire, she can properly improve herself!"

"And then, through these improvements, she will eventually suppress all of us who have brought her 'humiliation'!"

Jirou Yueguan said this with a half-smile.

Mentioning these things he had guessed, the smile on his face became even more radiant.

A playful arc hung on the corners of Tianwu Guimei's mouth, and he also revealed a very radiant smile.

Go to the Tianwu Empire to study, and then turn around and suppress those of them who came from the Tianwu Empire?

Interesting! Too interesting!

"Let these things take their natural course! Perhaps many more interesting things will happen by then."

"Compared to these things, I am suddenly very curious about the reaction of that little brat named Tang San."

"What we did before will definitely make that little brat completely explode. How do you think he is doing at this moment?"

"And that Yu Xiaogang, according to existing intelligence, that Yu Xiaogang is the teacher of that little brat Tang San."

"Presumably, that Yu Xiaogang will tell that little brat Tang San the true intelligence that we came from another world, right?"

Tianwu Guimei pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully.

Jirou Yueguan's eyes lit up.

Hearing Tianwu Guimei say this, his interest was immediately piqued.

"This might be a very interesting matter, and there is also that guy named Tang Hao."

"At that time, he ran away by using Exploding Ring, and your final move at least left him missing an arm or a leg. I wonder if he went to tell that little brat Tang San about these things."

"If these things really all come together, it might really be very interesting, and even if he explodes, it doesn't matter."

"The matter of the Magic Cannon is already prepared; when the time comes, giving him a little bit of shock will be the end of it."

After thinking about it, Jirou Yueguan replied as such.

Tianwu Guimei frowned and thought for a moment, but did not continue to say anything more.

……

Spirit Hall Outer City.

Just as Jirou Yueguan and Tianwu Guimei were talking about Tang San.

In the hotel where Tang San was staying, he was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating.

Because he was mocked for his Hidden Weapon, he felt that his heart could not calm down at all during this period of time.

Although he was meditating cross-legged, his whole person appeared very restless.

"Damn it!"

"This matter must be resolved, otherwise my heart cannot calm down!"

After a while, Tang San got up from the bed, his whole person appearing very restless.

Knock, knock, knock—

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.

Dai Mubai came in from outside the room, and after seeing that there was no danger, his hanging heart was put down.

The fact that Yu Xiaogang almost became a eunuch was no longer a secret, and he felt a bit hair-raising even coming to find Tang San now.

"Boss Dai, do you have something?" Tang San asked.

Dai Mubai took out an announcement: "The Spirit Hall has issued an announcement. According to what is said on the announcement, they want to launch an item during the Spirit Master Tournament here."

"Launch what?" Tang San was curious.

"Hidden Weapon!"

Dai Mubai thought for a moment.

Looking somewhat troubled, he said word by word.

"What? Hidden Weapon?!"

Tang San's eyes widened, looking at Dai Mubai in disbelief.

Hearing this, Dai Mubai nodded and handed the announcement to Tang San: "It is indeed a Hidden Weapon, but according to the announcement, it seems they intend to launch a very brand-new Hidden Weapon!"

???

A very brand-new Hidden Weapon?

Did the Spirit Hall ask him, the orthodox successor of the Tang Sect, before pulling this stunt?

Tang San was dumbfounded, unable to believe his own ears.

"A brand-new Hidden Weapon, what kind of brand-new Hidden Weapon?"

Tang San asked offhandedly, and while asking, he cast his gaze onto the announcement in his hand.

Knowing Tang San was reading the announcement, Dai Mubai replied just as naturally: "According to the announcement, they want to promote a very upright and honorable Hidden Weapon."

"According to what you, Xiao San, told us, Hidden Weapons are weapons and equipment used for special circumstances, and they have nothing to do with being upright and honorable."

"If it could be upright and honorable, it wouldn't be called a Hidden Weapon, so I was also a bit confused; you can take a look at the things on the announcement."

Tang San gave a grunt of acknowledgment, his gaze falling onto the announcement, reading it word by word, not missing a single detail.

Before long, after finishing the entire announcement, Tang San's eyes widened as much as they possibly could.

The content of the announcement was not much different from what Dai Mubai had said; the Spirit Hall indeed wanted to promote a kind of very "upright and honorable" Hidden Weapon.

It's just that...

This thing called a Hidden Weapon, if it becomes upright and honorable, is it still a Hidden Weapon?

If this kind of Hidden Weapon were to be released, then what position would he be placed in?

Tang San felt a bit of a headache.

His jaw couldn't help but ache.

Isn't this just messing around?!
