Chapter 82 Mingdu Soul Guide Elite Competition
It was already afternoon when Ye Qingchen arrived in Mingdu. Purchasing rare metals was one of the purposes of his visit. The future development, as well as the improvement of his own soul mentor and battle armor abilities, were of extremely important significance. .

The sky has completely darkened, perhaps because the daytime competition has consumed too much energy from the people, and the night light is a bit deserted.There are not too many people on the street.Most people have already fallen asleep.

At a street corner about 300 meters away from the Mingyue Hotel, the light in the dark corner suddenly became distorted. Then, a figure appeared and took advantage of the night, heading straight towards the center of Mingdu.

Wherever there are people, there will be an underground world, whether it is Tianhun, Dou Ling, Xingluo or the Sun and Moon Empire.There are many types of underground worlds.The lowest ones are those who rely on pornography, killing, and human trafficking as a way of survival.The more advanced ones include arms sales, underground political transactions, reselling of rare resources, etc.

In the underground world of Mingdu, there are three main forces, namely the largest Xishui League, the Ordinary League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

Among them, Pingfanmeng, the most common-sounding name, controls the entire Mingdu pornography industry and is considered the most superficial underground force.The Aodu Chamber of Commerce controls assassins' guilds, thieves' guilds and some evil forces.

Compared with them, Xishui League is much more high-end. It is engaged in the most profitable drug and arms business in the underground world, and also part-time human trafficking.

The three major underground forces named this competition: the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition and the Continental Young Senior Soul Master Elite Competition complement each other.

The venue for the Xishui League's preliminaries is a high-end hotel in the city center, the Qingse Hotel, a hotel with a very distinctive name. On the surface, it does not appear to be as big as the Mingyue Hotel, with only five floors above ground, but those who are familiar with it will understand. Its real strength is reflected underground.

At the main entrance of the hotel, stood four strong men, all over two meters tall, in black tight-fitting suits, scrutinizing the passing crowd with cold eyes.

Before Ye Qingchen could get closer, a strong man in black came forward and blocked the way with a raised hand.

"The hotel is closed today, please leave."

Ye Qingchen smiled slightly and said, "I'm here to participate in the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition."

The burly man in black froze for a moment, and the expression on his face was obviously softened. The status of the soul engineer in the Sun Moon Empire is much higher than that of other countries, and it is definitely not a wise choice to offend a soul engineer, even if the other party is not high. .

"Sorry, Mr. Soul Engineer's preliminaries have started and will end soon. You are late." The strong man in black said with a regretful face, but his expression was a little more respectful.

Ye Qingchen said regretfully: "Originally, I thought that I could represent the Xishui League in the finals and help you win the championship. If I qualify, it means that the Xishui League will have a good soul mentor to participate. . It’s a very beneficial result for you, isn’t it?”

The big man in black was stunned, "Are you sure?"

Ye Qingchen nodded seriously and said, "If you can't make the decision, you can ask the superiors for instructions."

"Please wait a moment." The big man in black looked more respectful. He gave Ye Qingchen a simple salute and quickly walked towards the door of Qingse Hotel.

Not long ago, a middle-aged man wearing a white gown walked out of the front door of Qingse Hotel.Seeing Ye Qingchen standing outside the hotel, he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "My subordinates are ignorant, distinguished guest, please follow me."

The interior of Qingse Hotel is indeed very green, and the layout is very simple. There is no clue that this is the place where underground forces rank first in Mingdu.

After entering the hotel, the middle-aged man stopped and said, "I don't know, what do you call me sir?"

Ye Qingchen thought for a while and then said: "Ye Fan."

"The competition has started for a while and will end soon. So time is a bit tight. Can you please show your identity as a soul master. I will arrange the competition for you immediately."

Ye Qingchen raised his right hand slightly, and the middle-aged man felt that his eyes were blurred. There was already a dagger in Ye Qingchen's right hand. A white light suddenly lit up, and the fierce sword energy instantly rose into the sky.

While wiping his cold sweat, the middle-aged man took Ye Qingchen to a soul guidance elevator inside the hotel lobby, and then said a few words with a soul guidance communicator, and then led Ye Qingchen to Chen entered the elevator.

The elevator went straight down and stopped after about ten seconds. When the door opened, it was completely opposite to the simplicity of the Qingse hotel lobby, and the underground world of the hotel was magnificent.

After the middle-aged man led Ye Qingchen out of the elevator, he first passed through a gorgeous prototype hall, and then entered a door directly in front.

Entering the door seems to directly enter another world. The light here is not as strong as outside and appears much softer.

In the middle of the hall is a circular platform.There is a diameter of 30 meters away.At this time, there were dozens of metal tables placed on the competition stage, and soul guidance lights flickered from time to time.

The chairs in the outer circle were full of people.But they were all quiet, looking attentively at the busy people on the metal tables in the center.

"How many people are there in the Xishui League participating in this competition?" Ye Qingqiu asked the middle-aged man who was leading the way.

The middle-aged man said respectfully: "We have a total of 260 four soul masters participating here. Today is the qualifying competition. You are required to make a third-level soul guide to pass the qualification review. However, now we are far away from the last soul guide. The instructor has finished the production, and it’s only half an hour, about half an hour. I don’t know if you still have time.”

Ye Qingchen smiled slightly, with a hint of pride at the corner of his mouth, "That's enough." "That's good."

Ye Qingchen walked into the competition venue under the leadership of the middle-aged man and was taken to the metal table in the outer corner where the game had ended.

He turned around and left, but an old man in yellow clothes had already walked over.Standing behind Ye Qingchen.Just like what happens behind the table at other tournaments.

"Are there any rules for the competition?" Ye Qingchen asked the old man in yellow.

The old man pointed to a competition table that was being used not far away from them and said: "There is an hourglass on it, see for yourself. Before the last grain of sand in the hourglass slips, make a soul guide of at least level three. Completed Even if you are eligible to continue competing. If you don’t finish it, you will be eliminated. Let’s start.”

"Yes." Ye Qingchen agreed casually, and then he moved his right hand, the blade trembled slightly, and metal shards suddenly poured down.

The irregular piece of metal soon had some strange lines appearing on it.And it is divided and inscribed.The whole process was as smooth as clouds and flowing water. It seemed like a simple shake of the fingers, but every movement was so precise. Then it was combined and embedded into the core array.

This process did not last long. After 3 minutes, Ye Qingchen had stopped.The whole person turned around easily and signaled to the old man in yellow: "It's done."

Only then did the old man in yellow wake up. He hurried forward and picked up the soul guide on the table. The old man in yellow carefully poured soul power into it.The soul guide suddenly lit up.Amid the low exclamation of the old man in yellow, he felt that his soul power was being violently absorbed by this soul guidance device.

After Ye Qingchen saw this situation, he took the bright dagger. The old man in yellow wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Ye Qingchen in shock, and said, "This soul guide you made is..."

Ye Qingchen smiled slightly, "The dagger of light absorbs the soul power of the soul master and releases the attacking blade of light. It is available at level three. It will be more suitable for level four soul masters to use it. My competition is over, is it okay?"

The old man in yellow said respectfully: "You have passed the qualifying test. This is the soul guide you made. Please keep it. In this competition, all the soul guides we made will belong to the soul master himself. Of course, , you can also sell to us.”

Ye Qingchen said: "Then I'll leave it to you."

The referee tentatively asked, "Can I ask, what level of soul engineer are you?"

Ye Qingchen said: "You will know in the future."

"You have passed the qualifying round. Tomorrow we will start the first round. It is directly the elimination round. Each round eliminates one-third of the total number of people in the previous round until the final champion is decided. This is your qualification pass. Voucher. You can use this to claim this round of rewards from the staff." As he spoke, he handed over a badge made of pure gold with a number on it, No. 71.

…………

"Dignified guest, please follow me." Chen An said, turning around to lead the way.

Ye Qingchen nodded gently, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his consciousness instantly enveloped the whole place. There were indeed a few strong auras in this golden hall, but there were none that could directly threaten his life.

Chen An took Ye Qingchen around to a small door on the side.After leaving the golden hall, there was a gorgeous corridor. Not far away, Chen An opened a door next to it and led him in.

"Please sit down." Chen An said respectfully, standing next to the luxurious sofa.

Ye Qingchen nodded and said: "Bring me what I deserve today later. I will come again in the next round."

Chen An said: "Does that need us to do something?"

Ye Qingchen waved his hands and said, "You don't need to do anything. The ranking I can get depends entirely on myself."

"Don't worry, everything will be as you wish."

Ye Qingchen nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I'm leaving first. I won't take the money today. Next time I come, take it together. I can tell you that I am a seventh-level soul master, so, How to make money from gambling is up to you. But my share cannot be less. All my share should be replaced with rare metals. The more, the better."

"Yes, yes." Chen An agreed again.

"Before the first round of competition, I will come to you again. You compile a list of rare metal rewards for each round of competition. There is also a list of bets for me."

"Yes."

Chen An personally escorted Ye Qingchen out and took them to the elevator, returning to the simple first floor of Qingse Hotel.
