953 – Forbidden Arsenal
TL: GoldenLung
Meng Fei glanced at the somewhat dull Lan Xuanyu next to him and said, “You should have learned about the history of our Tang Sect when you were at Shrek Academy. In the history of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, there was a huge disaster that almost completely destroyed both. If it weren’t for the preparations made in advance, and if it weren’t for the teachers of Shrek Academy sacrificing their lives to buy some time for the students, perhaps Shrek Academy would have become a relic of the past. It was at that time that the remaining survivors of the academy and Tang Sect joined forces and elected the Dragon King Douluo as the Sea God Pavilion Master and Tang Sect Master of that generation, and rebuilt Shrek Academy and reshaped the Sea God Lake. This is how the current Shrek Academy and Tang Sect came into being. It can be said that he was a great hero of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect.”
Lan Xuanyu’s heart trembled, and he certainly knew who Meng Fei was referring to. Although he had always known about this history, when he really connected it to that person, he still felt a dreamlike feeling.
But the fact is the fact, that person who once made contributions to Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, and even to all of humanity, was no less than Tang San, the founding ancestor of Tang Sect.
“And the origin of that great disaster was two stolen federal level Godslayer-grade mounted soul bombs. They were known as the existence that could even kill gods. They destroyed the entire Shrek City at that time and caused countless living beings to perish.”
“After the reconstruction of Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, and the flourishing growth of the Eternal Tree, the great threat from the Abyssal Plane was resolved. However, we did not actually find the true culprit, or rather, the culprit was the entire Federation. Because at that time, the alliance between Shrek Academy and Tang Sect had already posed a threat to the Federation’s rule. If we wanted revenge, we would have to overthrow the Federation. But the restored Academy and Tang Sect did not do so. Because we all knew that if we really wanted to overthrow the Federation’s rule, whether successful or not, it would lead to a catastrophic situation. And at that time, the planet’s life force had just recovered and needed to recuperate. Human technology had to develop towards interstellar migration. Therefore, the ultimate scapegoat was only the former chief of the Spirit Pagoda, the Qian Gu Dong Feng lineage, and the Qian Gu family was also wiped out from then on.”
“It was also that time when we realized the fear the Federation had towards Shrek Academy and Tang Sect. At that time, the students and members of Tang Sect were already very powerful, yet they were still almost destroyed. This was because we were not actually strong enough, at least not to the point where the entire Federation would fear us. Therefore, after the reconstruction of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, the two groups reached a consensus internally that they must become even stronger. Strong enough to the point where the Federation would never dare to lay hands on us, no matter how much they feared us.”
“Under the leadership of a great scientist, the Academy and Tang Sect began a profound research on soul weapons. Gradually, Tang Sect truly became the strongest scientific research force in the Federation. The Federation government also knew about this, but they had no way to stop us. “
The once god-killing level mounted soul bomb, also known as the twelfth level mounted soul bomb, had a complex structure and immense power. At that time, there were only three bombs, and the last one was used in the fight against the abyssal plane, where it played a crucial role. Therefore, since then, the Tang Sect began to develop mass destruction weapons, not to kill enemies but for self-defense. Only with strategic weapons can we make the Federation fear us.
The Tang Sect also had its own fleet, but our largest warship was only at the level of a warship. This was because the Federal Government would never allow us to establish a space fleet with a mothership. This was the bottom line of the Federal Government, and we also didn’t want to break ties with them. Therefore, in terms of warships, the Federation was still the strongest. Of course, this was assuming that we do not consider our biological warships.
Lan Xuanyu silently nodded his head. The role and usage of the biological warship were extremely different from that of the federal standard warship. Just like that silver armored Dapeng warship, although it was definitely not as powerful as the flagship in terms of individual strength, it had many advantages that the flagship did not have. However, the biological warship was destined to be a minority and could not be mass-produced. After all, top-level soul beast corpses were too rare.
On the aspect of warships, we were not the strongest. But when it came to weapons and equipment, the Federation had to admit that our Tang Sect was at the forefront of the entire Federation. The once god-killing level mounted soul bomb, although called a god-killer, in fact, couldn’t even kill an Ultimate Douluo. If it weren’t for protecting the academy, the former Sea God Pavilion Master, Qingtian Douluo Yun Ming, could have easily escaped. And now, the weapons developed by our Tang Sect are truly capable of inflicting damage on the gods. However, these weapons were all known as forbidden weapons by us, and the place where you are now is our Tang Sect’s forbidden arsenal. About 2,300 years ago, a predecessor of our Tang Sect once used a weapon from the forbidden arsenal while carrying out the mission of the Douluo Continent. At that time, the Federation fleet was invincible and expanding into the stars was going smoothly. It was then that the Federation government once again wanted to do something to us.
“Our ancestor used a forbidden weapon and detonated it on a small asteroid, completely submerging it. Also destroyed were seven god-rank powerhouses of the enemy at that time. It was the strongest opponent we encountered during our exploration of the universe. It was also the explosion that caused great damage to that side’s space force, and eventually, their administrative planet was occupied by us. Although it is not suitable for human habitation, it has become one of our most important resource planets.”
“Our move at that time was to let the Federation understand that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy cannot be easily provoked. Later, our predecessor relied on our Tang Sect’s forbidden weapons to demonstrate his power in many missions. Finally, he helped the Federation completely destroy the strength of that side’s space force, becoming the only ninth-level fighter in that generation of the Sky Fighting Department.”
“The Federation also understood from that time on that the power of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy was not something they could easily shake. This is what has led to over two thousand years of peaceful coexistence. Therefore, the Federation has actually known all along about our forbidden weapon arsenal, and has tried every means possible to investigate our situation and even attempted to mobilize our forbidden weapons using overt methods, all of which were blocked by us one by one. This is the fundamental basis for protecting the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, as well as ensuring our independence.”
“You accompanied the military for training this time, which shouldn’t have been necessary to bring you here. However, your safety has already been raised to the highest level by the academy and Tang Sect. It was almost certain that the military would try to recruit you, and we were not worried about that. What we were worried about was that if the Federation took action against you because of your special identity, you would need to have the ability to protect yourself. The Emerald Demon Swan warship can allow you to navigate in space, but to escape, you need to have enough strength. After all, you are not powerful enough right now. So, this time we will let you carry some protective items with you. Come, let me introduce you to some good things from our Tang Sect.”
As he said this, Meng Fei’s face revealed a strange smile.
Lan Xuanyu swallowed his saliva. The Forbidden Arsenal! Just hearing the name gave people an inexplicable sense of awe, not to mention actually using it.
“Master, can I really use the forbidden weapon?” Lan Xuanyu asked tentatively.
