This was completely different from what Tang Fan had imagined.
This also completely disrupted Tang Fan's plans.
He originally intended to surpass the Tang Sect by relying on the various hidden weapons within the 'Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons,' making everyone clearly aware that he, Tang Fan, had surpassed the Tang Sect.
However, the Tang Sect actually knew them all?
If that's the case, how could he, Tang Fan, surpass the Tang Sect?
Wouldn't he become a laughingstock instead?
Tang Jingyu stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "Your so-called surpassing of the Tang Sect is to use my Tang Sect's hidden weapons to compete with my Tang Sect?"
Tang Fan was speechless.
"The hidden weapons you've brought out, my Tang Sect possesses them all, but we don't easily pass them down. I don't know where you obtained them from, or through what means you cultivated them, but you mistakenly believe that my Tang Sect doesn't have them? If my Tang Sect didn't have these, would it still be the Tang Sect? Would it still be able to stand proudly in the Nine Provinces for so many years?"
"You're thinking too naively. This Sect Master initially thought you truly possessed some real skills, but now it seems I overestimated you. If your so-called abilities and hidden weapons that can surpass the Tang Sect are all hidden weapons that the Tang Sect already possesses, then this Sect Master believes that everyone's expectations can be put to rest."
Crack, crack, crack—
Tang Fan clenched his fists tightly.
How could this be?
That is to say, the 'Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons' that he was so proud of, the Tang Sect also knew them all, and possessed them all?
Then he wasn't the only person in the Nine Provinces who knew these top-tier, heaven-defying hidden weapons.
Then he wasn't so invincible anymore!
Then his Weapon Sect would also lose its competitiveness.
No, it wasn't that it would lose its competitiveness, but rather that it wouldn't achieve the kind of effect he wanted.
Tang Fan never expected it would be like this.
Therefore, this Grand Competition, as of now, hadn't achieved the effect he wanted at all, but rather the opposite.
If it weren't for this time, others would only think that he, Tang Fan, still had many, many top-tier hidden weapon trump cards that he hadn't revealed.
Now, everyone knew that even if Tang Fan brought out hidden weapons, they would still belong to the Tang Sect.
Then what did he mean by clamoring that he would surpass the Tang Sect one day?
On the contrary, he, Tang Fan, had completely lost face.
To display or not to display?
Since the Tang Sect knew them, displaying them was meaningless.
"My demonstration ends here."
After Tang Fan finished speaking, he put away the 'One Thousand and One Nights.'
The crowd let out a burst of sighs.
"Hush, if you can't do it, don't make such a big fuss. I thought this Tang Fan was so amazing, but it turns out that the so-called powerful hidden weapons were all already possessed by the Tang Sect."
"Hehe, he obtained the manufacturing methods and techniques of these hidden weapons through some means. He hadn't heard that the Tang Sect had these, so he thought they didn't, and thought he was qualified to challenge the Tang Sect. A clown."
"Although he's at the Immortal Emperor Realm, he's still not very old after all. It's possible for him to do some incomprehensible and foolish things. It's extremely ridiculous. If such an immature clown joins his Weapon Sect, wouldn't that be staking one's life on it?"
"… …"
"No, I must prove myself in the third round of practical combat, otherwise… …"
Tang Fan's expression was solemn as he clenched his fists.
He had completely lost face.
"What the hell?"
The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect Master, Wan Yannian, frowned deeply.
Oh, after all that, your so-called hidden weapons that can surpass the Tang Sect, your so-called confidence, turned out to be something the Tang Sect already possessed!
Then what are you pretending for?
It caused their Ten Thousand Poisons Sect to have so much faith in you, Tang Fan.
Yes, even so, there were still extremely large cooperative benefits between their Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and Tang Fan.
However, Tang Fan's actions were indeed untrustworthy.
And Tang Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, whether it was the Dragon Instant Needle, the Phoenix Leading Nine Chicks, or the later One Thousand and One Nights.
His Tang Sect didn't have them.
If it weren't for Xu Fengqiu's advance help.
His Tang Sect would really have been surpassed by Tang Fan in this second round.
It wasn't that his Tang Sect didn't have other powerful hidden weapons, but if Tang Fan could bring out a large number of top-tier hidden weapons that they, the Tang Sect, couldn't, then their Tang Sect's position in the Nine Provinces would be finished!
Tang Fan would have taken the opportunity to step on the Tang Sect to rise to power.
Fortunately, there was Xu Fengqiu.
He created the illusion for the world that the Tang Sect had long mastered the top-tier hidden weapons that Tang Fan possessed.
Otherwise, if something really happened, Tang Fan would really have succeeded.
He was indeed very grateful to Xu Fengqiu.
But the Tang Sect was also quite uncomfortable at the same time.
That is to say, the top-tier hidden weapons that Xu Fengqiu and Tang Fan possessed were indeed likely no worse than theirs, the Tang Sect's.
How could it be that one day, their dignified Tang Sect would actually have to rely on juniors to help?
And how could they be forced into this state by a junior?
"Next one."
Tang Jingyu said.
Subsequently, Xu Fengqiu walked out.
Everyone was paying close attention to Xu Fengqiu.
Everyone knew that Xu Fengqiu used Profound Heaven Poison Weapons, even on a large scale.
But exactly how strong he was, everyone wasn't particularly clear.
Subsequently, Xu Fengqiu also very easily released all the first-grade to tenth-grade hidden weapons that the Tang Sect had brought out, using a unique technique.
This scene was within many people's expectations, but also beyond their expectations.
Within expectations because Xu Fengqiu himself was good at using Profound Heaven Poison Weapons, and he was also very familiar with these hidden weapons, which was indeed reasonable.
But beyond expectations because Profound Heaven Poison Weapons were Profound Heaven Poison Weapons, and hidden weapons were hidden weapons, especially since these were Tang Sect hidden weapons.
Where exactly did Xu Fengqiu obtain these from?
After all, normally speaking, one could only cultivate these in the Tang Sect.
Including Tang Fan.
Although Tang Fan was a member of the Tang Sect, he couldn't have come into contact with so many things either.
And Xu Fengqiu didn't need to demonstrate any more.
Just these were completely enough.
"Not continuing to demonstrate?"
Tang Jingyu asked.
Xu Fengqiu said, "There's no need, right? Even without demonstrating, the current result is tied for first place in the second round."
Tang Fan said, "That's not right, the first place is naturally still this Emperor. After all, you and I both released these Tang Sect hidden weapons, but this Emperor released an additional Dragon Instant Needle. Although the Tang Sect knows the Dragon Instant Needle, the Dragon Instant Needle is an extra, relatively top-tier hidden weapon. If you can't bring out a hidden weapon of the same level as the Dragon Instant Needle, how can you be tied for this first place?"
Xu Fengqiu then stretched out his hand, holding a Dragon Instant Needle in his palm.
Tang Fan: ? ? ?
Isn't that… …
You also have a Dragon Instant Needle?
Ah?
Why do you also know it?
Tang Fan could now slightly accept that the Tang Sect in this world might also possess the Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons, otherwise the previous situation couldn't be explained.
But you, Xu Fengqiu, aren't even a member of the Tang Sect, why do you know the Dragon Instant Needle?
Subsequently, Xu Fengqiu used the Dragon Instant Needle's exclusive technique to throw the Dragon Instant Needle out.
"Are we tied now?"
Xu Fengqiu glanced at Tang Fan and asked indifferently.
Wow—
The crowd was also shocked!
What other methods does this Xu Fengqiu have that they don't know?
He even knows the Dragon Instant Needle?
"Hmph! Although I didn't demonstrate the other few hidden weapons, but just took them out, but I can demonstrate them. If you can't, you still can't beat me."
Xu Fengqiu then took out the Phoenix Leading Nine Chicks and the One Thousand and One Nights.
Tang Fan: ? ? ?
