The Ten Great Hidden Weapons of Tang Sect are undoubtedly weapons of terrifying lethality.
But there is a major flaw; they are essentially one-time use mega-weapons, and restoring them after use is almost as difficult as remaking them from scratch.
Just like the Storm Pear Blossom that Qin Fang got from Tang Nan, now that all over three thousand Ox Hair Awl-Needles have been fired, only a meticulously constructed needle tube remains of the Storm Pear Blossom.
But a needle tube alone is utterly useless, and those more than three thousand Ox Hair Awl-Needles can't be reloaded, essentially making the Storm Pear Blossom useless scrap metal from the moment it was fired.
Initially, Qin Fang took away Tang Nan's body and also took this needle tube of the Storm Pear Blossom, merely intending to clean up the battlefield and did not think about other aspects.
And not until last night did Qin Fang remember his Repair Skill that he had not yet used, which led him to think of this Storm Pear Blossom lying in the Props Box.
Yu Zheng's hands and feet had been broken for more than a decade, his wounds long healed, and many nerves and blood vessels securely grown over, having been deemed incurable, yet Qin Fang's Repair Skill could completely restore such injuries overnight.
Although it consumed a lot of painstakingly earned Justice Points, having subdued Yu Zheng, the former Asian Gambling King, Qin Fang did not feel at a loss.
And now, Qin Fang felt it necessary to repair this Storm Pear Blossom.
The power of the Storm Pear Blossom is astonishing, and at close range, it's challenging for anyone to withstand, but most importantly, its Ox Hair Awl-Needles are designed to break through Protective True Qi, making them particularly lethal against Martial Arts Experts.
Of course, modern hot weaponries can also achieve such effects, even bombs can be many times more powerful than the Storm Pear Blossom.
But hot weapons can harm both others and oneself; when a bomb explodes, it causes massive destruction in its range, and even the user themselves could be injured if they don't take distance.
The control of the Storm Pear Blossom is obviously much better, suddenly unleashing it for a Sneak Attack could be even more effective than a gun...
At least firing a gun would result in a loud noise, likely alerting others, but the Storm Pear Blossom can silently kill invisibly.
"Storm Pear Blossom, a special Rare Item, one of the Ten Great Hidden Weapons of Tang Sect, item level: unrestrictive, repairable (Repair Level: 3, requires 400 Justice Points)."
Qin Fang closely studied this Storm Pear Blossom, made a meticulous analysis, and with the aid of his Repair Skill, obtained the answers he needed.
The Repair Skill is not completely without restrictions; the restriction lies in the Repair Level—the more intricately crafted and difficult to repair the item, the more Justice Points it requires to fix.
Like the repair of Yu Zheng's hands and feet yesterday, even though the treatment was indeed challenging, for the System, it was considered a minor difficulty, hence the lowest Repair Level 1, each use consuming 100 Justice Points.
If the Repair Level is 2, then each repair consumes 200 Justice Points.
By the same token, Repair Level 3 requires 400 Justice Points per repair…
Repair Level 4 requires 800 points per time…
Basically, as the Repair Level progresses incrementally, the required Justice Points increase exponentially... The higher the Repair Level, the more terrifying the needed Justice Points.
The Repair Level of the Storm Pear Blossom is 3, and to fully restore it as before, Qin Fang needs to spend 400 Justice Points, which is not a small amount, but he can afford it now.
"Repair..."
Qin Fang did not hesitate; the Storm Pear Blossom is not only a defensive weapon but also a major weapon for killing enemies. Even the Tang Sect does not have many such weapons, and now that it's in his hands, Qin Fang cannot let it go to waste.
Moreover—
"Shen Wuben, if you really are so insensible, then I will not be polite! Tsk, I really wonder what the reaction from the Shaolin Temple folks will be when they find out that Shen Wuben died under the Storm Pear Blossom of Tang Sect..."
Thinking of this, Qin Fang couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh.
Both Shaolin Temple and Tang Sect are colossal entities with many martial experts. Currently, Qin Fang could only barely clash with younger generation experts, but encountering older generation experts who are at Grandmaster Level or above, is clearly out of Qin Fang's league… at least for now.
Now, having killed Tang Nan, Qin Fang had indeed fully offended Tang Sect. On the other hand, his relationship with Shaolin Temple was ambiguous; Shen Wuben was against Qin Fang, but Monk Wukong wanted to protect him, making the relationship quite messy.
If Qin Fang really reaches that point, using Shaolin Temple to constrain Tang Sect would obviously be a very good idea…
Storm Pear Blossom is one of the Ten Great Hidden Weapons of Tang Sect, considered a secret not to be shared, impossible to leak, and the only one that got out was the one Tang Nan took with him.
However, this one had already been used and was essentially scrapped. If the people from Tang Sect wanted to investigate Tang Nan's whereabouts, they would surely check that cave.
Though Qin Fang had taken Tang Nan's body and the Storm Pear Blossom, erasing most of the traces, the three thousand Ox Hair Awl-Needles fired were not all retrievable. These were finely crafted needles by Tang Sect specially for the Storm Pear Blossom, which experts from Tang Sect would surely recognize.
Since the Storm Pear Blossom had already been used, even if the needle cylinder was taken away, it couldn't be restored as new, so Tang Sect's accusation that Qin Fang had one in his possession would be quite baseless… They probably wouldn't even believe that Qin Fang could restore one of Tang Sect's top ten hidden weapons.
Yet, Qin Fang just happened to have such ability.
The restoration process took place quietly in the Props Box, costing Qin Fang 400 Justice Points silently. All those Ox Hair Awl-Needles disappeared immediately, and the empty cylinder of the Storm Pear Blossom was instantly filled back up, looking as new as if it was never used.
Moreover, this needle cylinder looked brand new as if it had just been crafted… but no one would doubt its lethality, which could absolutely be murderous once deployed.
Of course, if the Storm Pear Blossom was kept for Tang Feifei and her group as a protective magic treasure, it would not be impossible since it acts like a foolproof weapon. One only needs to know how to use it; even a child could operate it.
However, Qin Fang knew it was better not to give it to Tang Feifei and her group. For one, this weapon is quite heavy; Tang Feifei and her group are not like the experts from Tang Sect who can carry dozens of kilograms effortlessly. It's quite exhausting to carry around.
Moreover, although the Storm Pear Blossom is not as likely to misfire as a gun, it could be very dangerous if something goes wrong.
Or in case of self-defense, it could still be useful against martial arts experts, who would likely shy away from confronting it head-on once they hear of the Storm Pear Blossom.
But if facing ordinary people, a deployment of Storm Pear Blossom could undoubtedly result in many unintended deaths. Girls fear blood, and obviously, it's not suitable for them.
Furthermore, Qin Fang had already prepared a superior protective magical treasure for Tang Feifei, so it's better to keep the Storm Pear Blossom with him...
The Storm Pear Blossom was restored, Yu Zheng's arms and legs were restored as well, and Qin Fang had used up a considerable amount of Justice Points. From nearly three thousand, it was now just over two thousand left.
"It seems these Justice Points are still insufficient, I need to save up more…" Qin Fang reflected as he watched the rapidly decreasing number of Justice Points, knowing that were it not for his encounter with High Priest Darren's deception and learned of these people's actions leading to his wrathful slaughter of them, he wouldn't have accumulated so much Justice Points. He wouldn't even have enough to fix a hand or foot of Yu Zheng, let alone restore the Storm Pear Blossom.
Though reflective, the necessary costs still had to be paid, and the returns gained were definitely more than what he had spent...
As for encountering a gang of villains like High Priest Darren in the future, making it difficult for Qin Fang to earn Justice Points conveniently, that's not really a big issue. Qin Fang still had other means to earn Justice Points.
After sorting everything out, Qin Fang and his group were ready to hit the road again, continuing their journey to Ninghai.
Fatty and his group had already fully repaired Qin Fang's car tires and even cleaned the cars spotlessly. They all trembled as they watched Qin Fang leave, eager for him to leave this place as soon as possible!
"I'll give you a piece of advice before leaving, Fatty, 'frequent injustice will bring self-destruction', and not every time will someone help you…" Qin Fang said, looking at the greedy Fatty, knowing what was on his mind, and simply muttered that before driving away.
As for whether Fatty took his advice, that was no longer Qin Fang's concern. Although such people were detestable, they weren't wicked to the extent of murdering or arson; Qin Fang couldn't just eliminate him as a public service.
If he really had to attack Fatty, not only would there be no Justice Points, Qin Fang might even lose his own Justice Points, which would be too costly.
Dealing with such obviously losing trades, Qin Fang found it irritating and wouldn't pursue them, especially when Fatty's crimes weren't worthy of death. Believing he was taught a lesson by Qin Fang, the young man would likely restrain himself a bit. (To be continued. If you like this piece, please vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com).
