The Peerless Sun of Tang Sect

Chapter 228 Another Competition

As the chief referee, Ye Yulin saw that the players were ready, waved his hand and said: "All contestants are in their positions, ready to compete."

After he finished speaking, An Litong, Shangguan Wei'er and Xu Jie also retreated outside the competition venue, and the contestants each walked to their own soul guidance production stage.

Ye Yulin clasped his hands behind his back, and his old face was very stern. As a ninth-level soul mentor, if Prince Xu Tianran hadn't invited him, how could he have come to serve as a referee in a competition organized by this dirty underground force.

At this time, his cold gaze swept across the faces of the nine participants, and a faint air of pressure swept across the audience. Among them, it stayed on Huo Yuhao the longest. After all, he also heard about Huo Yuhao's production in the preliminary round. That custom-installed soul missile.

"Timer starts! Soundproof shield, up."

Following Ye Yulin's loud shout, a layer of faint white light rose from around the competition stage. The soft white light soon gathered into a dome in the air, covering the entire competition stage. The noise from the outside world is completely isolated.

Star Douluo Ye Yulin sat back in his seat and looked with burning eyes at the competing soul masters who had begun to take action.

Huo Yuhao moved the moment Ye Yulin yelled "Start". The living blade disguised with simulated soul skills appeared in his hand. He raised his hand and took out the hardest one from the dozens of rare metals in front of him. Tungsten steel.

Noisy!
  The living blade sliced ​​through the tungsten steel, sparks flying out from the collision, and the extremely hard tungsten steel was easily carved with marks by the carving knife in Huo Yuhao's hand.

At this time, no matter how hard Huo Yuhao pretended, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the ordinary carving knife in his hand was definitely not ordinary.

Ye Yulin looked at Huo Yuhao's actions and frowned. He didn't understand what Huo Yuhao wanted to do. As a soul master, the first thing to make a soul guidance device is the core array.

The magic circle consumes a lot of energy, and the shell of the soul guide is relatively simple. However, Huo Yuhao is now making the shell of the soul guide. With each stroke of his knife, the shell gradually takes shape in his hand.

It was a round cylinder with human-like arms. Because it was made of tungsten steel, the whole body was black and looked ordinary.

The seven referees now understood what Huo Yuhao was making. He was making a soul guide launcher. This kind of soul guide launcher was generally only used when using fixed soul missiles.

Ye Yulin, who understood what Huo Yuhao wanted to do, frowned tightly. Huo Yuhao actually wanted to make customized soul missiles in the competition. In his opinion, this was an extremely stupid thing.

Apart from anything else, first of all, the characteristics of customized soul guides are not suitable for use in competitions. After all, customized soul missiles are disposable soul guides. How many customized soul missiles should Huo Yuhao make to cope with the upcoming competition? .

"Who would use a fixed soul missile to participate in the competition? This is not seeking death!"

Ye Yulin shook his head helplessly. In his mind, Huo Yuhao had obviously been sentenced to death. The other six referees also thought so.

But Huo Yuhao didn't think so. After the soul guide launcher was finished, he picked up the remaining tungsten steel and continued to carve it, but this time he made a custom soul missile casing.

The Holy Spirit Blade was shaking constantly. Although it was just a simple shell of the fixed soul missile, Huo Yuhao had already sunk in. In less than ten breaths, a complete shell of the fixed soul missile appeared on Huo Yuhao. .

Nearly a hundred wrist-thick customized soul missile shells appeared on the soul guidance production table in front of Huo Yuhao. At this time, all the referees stared at Huo Yuhao closely, with surprise on their faces.

"100% yield?" Ye Yulin's eyes shone brightly. At this time, his view of Huo Yuhao had begun to change, because he did not expect that Huo Yuhao's carvings so far were so accurate that he did not make any mistakes. .

With white light flashing in his eyes, Huo Yuhao had already picked up various rare soul-guiding metals on the stage and began to carve the core formation for his custom-made soul missile.

As time continued to pass, as the last miniature core soul guidance array was carved by Huo Yuhao, a white light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, his hands trembled slightly unconsciously, and the core metal in his hand also fell off.

After two hours of high-intensity carving, Huo Yuhao's arms were already in an extremely exhausted state. If he hadn't been holding on with his strong willpower, he would have been unable to hold on.

After the mental detection scanned the soul guide production table and confirmed that everything he made was fine, Huo Yuhao immediately sat cross-legged and restored the consumed soul power and energy.

This action immediately stunned the referees on the stage. The other eight contestants were still focusing on making soul guides. Huo Yuhao sat down to rest.

After another half an hour, Huo Yuhao, who was sitting cross-legged, finally opened his eyes. He shook his hands, and most of his fatigue had disappeared. He immediately stood up and picked up the prepared soul guidance array and shell on the table. Assemble it.

Click!

The sound of metal colliding continued, and Ye Yulin's face showed surprise again. The reason was that the outer shell of the fixed soul missile made by Huo Yuhao fit perfectly with the core array he made.

As the custom-made soul missiles were assembled by Huo Yuhao, the three-hour competition began to come to an end, and other players also completed their own soul guides.

……

……

……

In the Mingdu city,

Figures flashed past, descended from the sky, and landed in front of the imperial city of Mingdu. They were dressed in uniform black robes. The black robes covered their entire bodies, making their figures completely invisible.

Of course, except for the two people standing at the front, their strong figures could not be covered by black robes.

"Brother, is this reliable?" the shorter of the two sturdy figures asked.

"You have to do it even if it's not reliable!" The strong figure at the head took off his hood and looked up at the imperial city in front of him as if he was waiting for something. "I don't know why the active force that the Noumenon Sect left has come back. With our current strength "There is a high possibility that this mission will fail, so it is necessary to seek additional help."

This person is none other than Niu Tian, ​​the azure bull python who previously led his team to lurk in the Sun and Moon Mountains.

"No matter how powerful the Noumenon Sect is, it can't compare to us, right?" The one called Brother Niu Tian was none other than the Titan ape - Titan.

Niu Tian shook his head and didn't say much. A few days ago, when the master of the Noumenal Sect came to visit, he deliberately approached Huo Yuhao to check out Huo Yuhao's condition. Before he even got close, he felt the aura of Emperor Tian on Huo Yuhao's body. .

"Brother, you haven't..." Just as Tai Tan finished speaking, he turned to look at the black shadow on the side. Niu Tian also stared at the black shadow closely and said. “Your Excellency, since you are already here, it’s better to come out earlier!”

As soon as Niu Tian finished speaking, the black shadow seemed to be alive, slowly condensing into a black figure, and the figure stepped out of the shadow.

It was an old man with a stooped figure. The old man's clothes were very simple, just the most common attendant clothes in the palace. The old man was serious and looked up at Niu Tian and Tai Tan.

"Come on, His Highness the Crown Prince invites you, just the two of you can come!"

After saying this, regardless of whether Tai Tan and Niu Tian heard it or not, they turned around and walked towards the interior of the Imperial City. The guards of the Imperial City seemed to have received instructions before, so they did not stop them.

When Niu Tian saw this, he didn't waste any words. He told the other members of the Haotian Sect to stay put, and then followed the old man with Tai Tan into the imperial city.

In the side hall of the palace, in the study of Prince Xu Tianran, Imperial Master Zhongli Wuzheng was playing chess with Xu Tianran, while Long Xiaoyao, who was wearing a dark aura, sat alone, sipping wine from a white porcelain bottle.

"Your Highness, is the leader of the Haotian Sect you are talking about reliable?" Zhong Liwu raised his hand and said he was very worried about the Haotian Sect.

"I'm not sure." Xu Tianran stared at the chessboard in front of him, "It's precisely because I'm not clear that I asked the National Master and Senior Long to come over and escort me!"

"Your Highness, you're welcome." Zhong Liwu said politely, "By the way, what does the Haotian Sect ask for?"

"They said it was a person?" Xu Tianran said immediately after hearing the sound, with a little doubt in his tone.

"A person? Who is it?" Zhong Liwu also had a look of confusion on his face. He also couldn't understand why the Haotian Sect went to such trouble to discuss cooperation with Xu Tianran for just one person.

"Huo Yuhao!" Xu Tianran raised his hand and put down his son, and said slowly.

"That Young Sect Master of the Noumenon Sect? Why does he want the Young Sect Master of the Noumenon Sect?" Zhong Liwu obviously didn't understand the stakes.

"I don't know what the Haotian Sect is doing?" Xu Tianran shook his head. He didn't understand what the Haotian Sect wanted to do. However, after he learned the news, he also investigated Huo Yuhao's identity and background. .

It was learned that he was originally a student of Shrek, and also served as an exchange student at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. However, he was later abducted by the Noumenon Sect and joined the Noumenon Sect. Xu Tianran did not find any relationship between Huo Yuhao and the Haotian Sect. .

But I discovered that Huo Yuhao had also been a classmate of Orange.

Da da da!
  There was a knock on the door, and Xu Tianran immediately sat upright, "National Preceptor, they are here."

……

……

……

The first person to complete the production of the soul guide was Huang Zheng, who represented the Xishui Alliance together with Huo Yuhao and He Caitou.

The soul guide made by Huang Zheng is also very unique. It is a huge mechanical hand, about one meter and two meters long, with three sharp claws at the front. The entire robotic arm should be used on the arm, and it looks very cold. As for the function of this soul guide, we can only know it in the subsequent games.

The ones that can be used in the competition will obviously not be conventional soul guides, and there is absolutely no clue about them from the appearance.

After Huang Zheng finished making his soul guide, he did not leave his seat. Instead, he sat cross-legged and seemed to have entered a meditative state. The whole person seemed very organized and unhurried.

Here, as Huang Zheng finished making his own soul guide, Huo Yuhao finally assembled all the fixed soul missiles he had made. He took a deep breath and began to look around to see how other players were making them.

Soon, Huo Yuhao's eyes fell on Huang Zheng. Huang Zheng, who was meditating, noticed Huo Yuhao's gaze and immediately looked up. When he looked, he saw a small mountain of fixed soul missiles arranged in front of Huo Yuhao.

The corner of his mouth suddenly twitched. Judging from the fluctuations of the fixed soul missiles, they were basically fourth-level fixed soul missiles. There were also a few fixed soul missiles, but that was not important.

The important thing is that Huo Yuhao made so many custom-made soul missiles in just three hours, which really made him feel incredible.

Entering the last half hour, others began to speed up significantly. Most people have entered the final assembly stage, and conservatively estimate that they will complete the production at least a quarter of an hour ahead of schedule.

As the production of everyone's soul guides has been completed, Ye Yulin, who is the referee, also announced, "Okay, everyone has completed the production of soul guides. The production time is over. From now on, you guys will be in the next competition. , you can only use the soul guidance device you made. Apart from that, you are not allowed to use any other soul guidance device."

After saying that, Ye Yulin and the other six referees came forward to inspect the soul guides made by the players. As high-level soul mentors, they checked very quickly.

Their speed slowed down until they reached Huo Yuhao. The custom-installed soul missiles made by Huo Yuhao were not complicated, but there were a hundred of them. They had to check them one by one.

Soon everyone's soul guides were checked, and Ye Yulin also announced the specific content of the skill assessment.

"In order to ensure the fairness of the skill assessment, you are not allowed to use your own carving knife, but the one on the side of the tray. What you have to do is to complete the production of nine core magic circles on the nine pieces of metal in front of you. Skills. The first piece, thirty holes; the second piece, many zigzag arcs, fifty evenly arranged; the third piece, wind-milled patterns; the fourth piece..."

Nine skills, from easy to difficult, are known to all the players present. It is just a matter of proficiency. Of course, Huo Yuhao can easily complete it even if he is not using his own carving knife. After all, his soul guidance knowledge may be better than that of others. But other players have extremely solid foundations.

Nine people participated in the skills assessment, five people completed it and four people did not complete it. After all the judges came forward to judge, the one with the lowest degree of completion among the four unfinished people was eliminated. Not surprisingly, the person eliminated was the representative of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce.

It is a pity that the girl in the yellow skirt from the Ordinary League also completed the skill test and entered the top four like Huo Yuhao. This also means that Huo Yuhao and the girl in the yellow skirt will definitely not be able to compete in the first round of the next knockout round. Met.

This somewhat made Xu Jie, who was watching the game in the audience, feel regretful.

"Rest for five minutes. In five minutes, the knockout round will begin." Ye Yulin said in a deep voice.

A large number of staff immediately rushed to the competition stage and collected the soul guidance production tables and various scattered materials. The nine people who represented the three major forces also stepped down one after another and returned to the rest area to rest temporarily.
