After taking a sip of tea, Anping continued, "No matter how similar the Poseidon Trident in Tang Wulin's hand is to the description, as long as it does not exert its corresponding power, people who don't know the inside story will only think that it is a trident, a counterfeit weapon."
"If he really uses the power of the Poseidon Trident, it will invisibly help the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy prove that Tang Wulin is related to the Poseidon. And even if it does not arouse other people's suspicion, he will be regarded as having weapons newly developed by the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, which will not benefit us."
"You must know that the most fundamental reason why we let Xiaoyan and Zhengyu compete with Shrek's Seven Monsters is to let the outside world know that we have made new progress in the research of Battle Armour technology. People who can't afford Battle Armour can come to Miracle City to learn new technologies."
Anping stopped at this point. Gu Yuena saw that Lan Fuzi and Xu Xiaoyan were still a little confused, so she continued Anping's words, "This is also the reason why we asked you and Le Zhengyu to use fewer soul skills before the competition. After all, only in this way can we better show how powerful your spiritual mirror and holy sword are."
After hearing Gu Yuena's words, Xu Xiaoyan said with some embarrassment: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have used my soul skills in the ring."
It was no wonder that Xu Xiaoyan was embarrassed. When she was in the ring before, she used many soul skills. Especially the first one. Xie Xie was eliminated first because he misjudged Xu Xiaoyan's first soul skill. He didn't expect that Xu Xiaoyan's soul skill would be released much faster than before.
The elimination of Xu Lizhi and Yuan En Yehui was also due to Xu Xiaoyan's two Star-Destroying Divine Lights, but one was used to distract Tang Wulin and the other was used to distract Le Zhengyu.
In this competition, the most eye-catching thing was Xu Xiaoyan's control of soul skills and the situation. It could be said that every use of Xu Xiaoyan's soul skills was crucial.
Seeing Xu Xiaoyan like this, Gu Yuena shook her head slightly and said: "Xiaoyan, there is no need to blame yourself. If you were an ordinary person, you would naturally only see yourself showing off your power in the ring and using your soul skills to make Shrek's Seven Monsters leave one after another."
"But with Le Zhengen emphasizing the effect of the spiritual mirror and holy sword in your hands in advance, it will be different. Those who are thoughtful will only think that Miracle City allowed you two to accept the challenge of Shrek's Seven Monsters in order to display these two things. Their focus will naturally be on the effects of the spiritual mirror and the holy sword."
Anping nodded and added, "And the most important thing is safety. If you really restrict your use of soul skills too much, what if there is an accident? If it is just an injury, it is a trivial matter. But if Shrek's Seven Monsters use this to attack you, it is not a good thing."
This was why Anping only mentioned that they could use fewer soul skills, but did not mention the strategic significance of this competition. You must know that Tang Wulin's last blow was aimed at Xu Xiaoyan's head. Although it had no effect, Tang Wulin's murderous intent could be seen.
As for why Le Zhengen introduced the spiritual mirror and holy sword in the hands of Xu Xiaoyan and Le Zhengyu after the competition began, it was naturally a plan they had discussed.
Lan Fuzi also said: "Yes, yes, and you used the spiritual mirror to injure Wu Siduo and Yuanen Yehui, showing that you were faster than Tang Wulin, and even changed the direction of the Poseidon Trident to hurt him. This can be said to be the highlight."
Hearing what Anping, Gu Yuena, and Lan Fuzi said, Xu Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I thought I affected Brother Anping's plan."
Anping shook his head slightly and said, "It's just a minor thing. It won't have any impact if you don't mention it. Even if it does have an impact, it's not as important as Xiaoyan's safety. You must know that there are many opportunities, but Xiaoyan is irreplaceable."
Hearing Anping tease him, Xu Xiaoyan took Gu Yuena's arm and said coquettishly: "Sister Nana, look at Brother Anping like this, you don't care."
Gu Yuena rubbed Xu Xiaoyan's head and said with a smile: "Anping is right. There are opportunities like this all the time. Xiaoyan is one of a kind."
Xu Xiaoyan let go of Gu Yuena's arm, turned around and hummed softly and said, "Hmph, even you bullied me and ignored me."
Gu Yuena knew that Xu Xiaoyan was not really angry, but she still cooperated to comfort her. The two of them went shopping while talking about the topic. When the topic of going to the streets came up, Lan Fuzi also joined in, Anping also followed them.
As the three of them chatted, Lan Fuzi remembered that Tang Wulin took out the Poseidon Trident in the previous competition, so he asked: "Since the Poseidon Trident is Tang San's weapon, it must be an incredible artifact. Well, Xiaoyan, why didn't you snatch that Poseidon Trident when you defeated them before?"
Xu Xiaoyan said angrily: "According to records, the Trident of Poseidon weighs one hundred and eight thousand kilograms. Even if I really wanted to snatch it back, how could I carry it? Even if I could really carry it, it is the divine weapon of Poseidon. Shrek Academy will fight me to the death after I took it."
Hearing what Xu Xiaoyan said, Lan Fuzi felt a little embarrassed, but still asked, "One hundred and eight thousand kilograms? Could it be that the rumors are wrong? Then Tang Wulin doesn't look like he can lift such a heavy thing, right? Is there something wrong with the Poseidon Trident?"
The reason why Lan Fuzi had such doubts was mainly because Tang Wulin had fought very easily with the Poseidon Trident before, and it didn't look like it weighed one hundred and eight thousand kilograms.
And if Tang Wulin really had such great strength, how could he be suppressed like that by Le Zhengyu? Lan Fuzi had fought against Le Zhengyu before, and although Le Zhengyu was indeed much more powerful than the same level of soul masters, he had no problem even fighting across levels.
If Tang Wulin really had such great strength, when Tang Wulin used the Clear Sky Hammer before, Le Zhengyu would not have been able to collide with it with the holy sword and remain unscathed. If the problem wasn't Tang Wulin, then it was the Poseidon Trident.
Xu Xiaoyan didn't know much about whether there was any problem with the Poseidon Trident. Even Gu Yuena only said in a guessing tone, "Maybe Tang San gave Tang Wulin the authority. After all, Tang Wulin is his son. I don't know how it works specifically."
Anping nodded and added, "Nana is right. It was indeed Tang San who gave Tang Wulin the authority to use the Poseidon Trident. As for how to operate it, according to my observation, it is related to the bloodline in Tang Wulin's body."
"Tang Wulin is Tang San's son, so he naturally has his bloodline in his body. Tang San activated this part of the bloodline in Tang Wulin's body and granted authority over Tang Wulin's bloodline. Only then could Tang Wulin ignore the weight of the Poseidon Trident itself and use it normally."
