The host continued excitedly: "Well, in addition to the generous rewards promised by the three presidents, we have also prepared a priceless final prize."
"Now, I would like to ask the chief referee of this competition, the ninth-level soul master, Master Zhang Chenglin, to give us this final prize."
The luxurious referee team was composed of seven highly respected senior soul masters. The long-bearded old man sitting in the center of the seven stood up.
Mr. Zhang said very humbly: "Actually, the original chief referee of this competition should be my good friend, Star Douluo Ye Yulin. But unfortunately, he has been busy with important matters in the palace recently and can't get away, so he has to ask me to do it for him. "
"In addition to a ton of rare metals, the championship reward for this competition is also a masterpiece of Star Douluo, the Sun and Moon Divine Needle."
After speaking, he raised his right hand, and a silver point of light soared into the sky from his hand. It became larger and larger as the height increased, and it flew up to a height of 100 meters before hovering still.
Mr. Zhang raised his hand again and threw a golden ball of light. The two light spots echoed each other in the air and began to rotate.
The strange sight amazed all the spectators.
"Dear Mr. Zhang, could you please introduce us to this Sun and Moon Needle?"
Mr. Zhang said with some pride: "This is the proud work of my close friend Xingkong Douluo. It means that the Dinghai Divine Needle of my Sun and Moon Empire is even better than the original Sun Divine Needle."
"The Sun and Moon Divine Needle can climb up to an altitude of 1,600 meters under the control of the user. If the spiritual power is strong enough, the soul master can use it to detect situations within a diameter of 30 kilometers from high altitudes, and conduct Precision strike.”
"But I want to remind you that even I can't analyze this soul tool for the time being. I hope you won't let it be tainted after you get it."
In the rest area of the Ordinary League, Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er were so surprised that they were speechless by the sun and moon needle suspended in the air.
"It turned out to be the handiwork of that Star Douluo. When will our Shrek Academy be able to produce such a soul guide?"
They had heard a little bit about some powerful people in the Sun and Moon Empire. Star Douluo was one of the powerful soul masters who was as famous as Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall.
According to legend, it was because he was good at making various high-altitude soul guidance devices that he gave his title to Starry Sky.
Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo suddenly had an idea in their minds. Although it was forced by the situation, this soul mentor competition was the right time.
The two of them have been stuck as eighth-level soul mentors for many years and have been unable to take a step forward. This is not because of insufficient cultivation.
Now, seeing the Sun-Moon Divine Needle, a ninth-level soul tool, with their own eyes, they felt the gap between them and the Sun-Moon Empire, and at the same time, they felt a sense of enlightenment.
The Sun and Moon Divine Needle in front of me is different from other level nine soul cannons. It does not stick to the traditional barrel form, but is actually two rotating and flying light balls.
Such a peculiar style, but the power contained in it cannot be underestimated, and it is definitely worthy of the name of a ninth-level soul guide.
Shrek's research on high-altitude soul guidance devices was too lacking. If he could take this unique soul guidance device back for study, it would be more valuable than the several ninth-level soul guidance cannons left by Jing Hongchen a few years ago.
The host nodded and said: "Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Zhang, for your explanation. I would also like to thank Star Douluo who was not present."
"Next, please invite the nine contestants who participated in the finals of the Mingdu Soul Tutor Elite Competition to take the stage. They will make soul guides within a limited time."
"The competition process will be strictly supervised by our seven referees. Any player who breaks the rules will be immediately disqualified and expelled."
On the competition stage, there are nine production tables placed in three areas. There are various instruments and a wide variety of rare metals on the production tables.
Huo Qiu'er and three others followed Shangguan Weier and prepared to play.
Du Buushi laughed loudly: "Qiu'er, just play as you like, even if you lose, I will take back the championship reward."
Such outrageous remarks made everyone dumbfounded.
The contestants from the three parties boarded the competition stage under the leadership of their respective leaders.
Nangong Wan, the leader of the Xishui Alliance, was the first. Behind him stood three young men with somewhat sinister looks. The three of them were all apprentices of the third elder. Except for Huang Zheng, the two of them were temporarily assigned to fill the vacancies of He Caitou and Huo Yuhao.
Behind Shangguan Weier, Huo Qiuer frowned and observed the three Xishui League players.
Why is Huo Yuhao not among them? Where did he go?
Huo Qiuer did not forget her original purpose of participating, which was to surprise Huo Yuhao in the finals.
But Huo Yuhao did not appear, and she had been unable to sense him since a few days ago.
Ye Guyi's attention was also focused on Huang Zheng and the other three, and he could clearly feel the evil aura hidden deep within them.
She remained calm for the time being and was bound to eliminate them in one fell swoop in the subsequent confrontation.
Nangong Wan glanced meaningfully at Huo Qiu'er who was behind Shangguan Wei'er, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The potential of the Golden Dragon Saint is probably even greater than that of the Fire Phoenix Saint.
Shangguan Weier noticed Nangong Wan's gaze, narrowed her eyes and said, "Nangong Wan, with that sly look on your face, what are you planning in your heart?"
Nangong Wan snorted coldly: "Sister Shangguan, I advise you to calm down a little. Don't think that with someone above you, the Ordinary Alliance is omnipotent."
When Shangguan Weier heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Chief referee Zhang Laodao said: "Please ask the three presidents to go down, the game will start soon."
The three leaders glanced at each other one last time, gave each player a final instruction, and returned to the rest area with a sneer.
There are many ninth-level soul masters in the Sun and Moon Empire, with different achievements and statuses.
The strength of Mr. Zhang in front of him is not outstanding, but because of his experienced qualifications, rich connections, and wide friends, he is considered a relatively prestigious existence among the ninth-level soul teachers.
"I won't go into details about the rules of the competition. I will remind you one last time that after the first round of production, the skills assessment will immediately begin. The last place will be eliminated to determine the top eight, and then enter the competition."
"I hope you can retain a certain amount of energy in the production process to avoid failing the next competition."
"Okay, I'll announce the start of the soul guide making process!"
At the same time as Boss Zhang shouted, a layer of light white light began to slowly cover the entire competition stage, isolating it from the outside world.
Almost all the players started moving the moment he announced the start of the game, choosing the metal materials they needed to start making.
Mr. Zhang himself returned to the referee's seat and discussed with the other six referees while watching the game.
"Old Zhang, look at that player from the Ordinary League, he seems a little strange." A ninth-level soul master on the right side of Mr. Zhang said in confusion.
"Old Wang, what's wrong?" Mr. Zhang looked in the direction of his finger and fixed his gaze on Huo Qiu'er.
Seeing this, his expression became strange.
Compared with the other eight players competing against time, Huo Qiuer's performance seemed out of place. She had no sense of urgency at all, moved slowly, and unhurriedly selected several rare metals and started engraving.
This move couldn't help but attract the attention of all referees.
To be so calm and confident under such circumstances, this player from the Ordinary League must be a very powerful soul mentor.
Huo Qiuer's next actions also verified Mr. Zhang's guess. Her inscription was so skillful and smooth that even Mr. Zhang nodded in approval unconsciously.
But after watching it for a while, Mr. Zhang realized something was wrong.
This player from the Ordinary League moves very fast, but it seems... only fast.
The soul guidance devices she made were not challenging at all. They were just the most basic soul guidance cannons and soul guidance rays.
And the level is not high, it will never exceed level five, it should only be level four.
Such a level of soul guidance device cannot be said to be weak, but it is definitely far from enough in the finals of this soul guidance device competition.
Because of her low level, Huo Qiuer completed it very quickly. While other players were still preparing for the early inscriptions, she had already completed the core array and started making the outer shell.
Another ninth-level soul engineer surnamed Chen looked puzzled: "Does she want to use the remaining time to make other soul tools?"
Mr. Zhang shook his head: "According to the rules, each player can only make one soul guide. Even if he makes extra soul guides, they will be regarded as invalid during the inspection process."
Just when everyone at the referee's table was puzzled, Huo Qiu'er had already placed the finished soul guide gun on the production table, and then stood with her chest folded, observing the surroundings coldly.
The soul guide and other materials on the table have not been touched again, and the production seems to have been completely completed.
"This...she really only made a fourth-level soul tool. Is she crazy?" Mr. Chen was even more confused. He didn't expect Huo Qiu'er to treat the final as a child's play.
They are all ninth-level soul masters. They have witnessed Huo Qiuer's entire production process, and they dare to conclude that this is just a simple soul guidance ray and does not have any special secret functions.
Mr. Zhang stroked his beard, frowned and thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I think the Ordinary Alliance definitely has a purpose for doing this."
He turned his attention to the other two members of the Ordinary Alliance.
The girl with long pale blond hair in a yellow skirt was making a sword-shaped close-in soul guide, which should be at level six. Another girl in a red dress has also completed the prototype of a level six short blade.
Looking at the other contestants, two people from the Xishui Alliance chose level five, but they were also the most powerful of the five-level soul tools. The others all made level six soul tools.
Mr. Zhang and Shangguan Weier are old acquaintances, and they know in their hearts that with such important interests at stake, Shangguan Weier is by no means a fool, so sending Huo Qiuer will naturally have her own arrangements.
Thinking like this, Mr. Zhang became even more curious about this blue-haired girl.
The players on the court were working hard, and the tense atmosphere also extended to the rest area.
Yan Shaozhe folded his hands and covered his mouth, frowning and looking at the rest area of Xishui League in the distance.
It was hard to imagine that as the dean of Shrek's martial arts department and a level ninety-six Ming Feng Douluo, he would suddenly make such an uneasy move.
"Shaozhe, what's wrong?" Cai Meier asked with concern.
Yan Shaozhe smiled gently and said: "It's nothing, I'm just a little worried about the strength of the Xishui Alliance and the Holy Spirit Sect. Mr. I broke off together, and the others took the children to break out from the Western Mountain first."
Du Buushi smiled and said: "My Noumenon Sect disciple has not left, so why should I escape first? Xuanzi, if you are afraid of death, just run away by yourself."
Mr. Xuan ignored him: "Shaozhe, your martial spirit is the Phoenix of Light, which has a strong restraint effect on evil spirit masters. Could you please join us to cut off the queen?"
"It is my responsibility."
After Yan Shaozhe answered, he looked in the direction of Xishui Alliance again.
Xian Lin'er snorted coldly: "What are you looking at? You are so absorbed in looking at it, Yan Shaozhe, is your old lover over there?"
"Xian Lin'er, what did you say?"
"I said his eyes are more entranced than looking at you. Maybe there is an old lover of his over there."
Her eccentricity successfully aroused Cai Meier's displeasure. Before Yan Shaozhe could speak, the two of them had a quarrel.
The Shrek students represented by Wang Dong could only sweat profusely, and no one dared to speak out.
The interpersonal relationships of these older generations are really complicated, and they are not something they can get involved in.
Xishui League rest area.
Fengling and others also looked in the direction of the Pingfan League.
"Deputy leader, the Golden Dragon Saint currently belongs to the Noumenon Sect. If nothing else happens, the Noumenon Douluo may be observing in secret."
Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng reported in a deep voice.
"And we have received news that Shrek Academy may also appear near the western suburbs. The three directions of southeast, north and south have been surrounded by the armies of the Sun and Moon Empire. If they want to break out, they can only escape from the Western Mountain."
Feng Ling said coldly: "Stand still and wait for the end of the game. Don't act rashly without my instructions. Although we have many people here, Shrek and the Noumenon Sect are not that easy to deal with."
In the rest area, there were not only the third elder Nangong Wan and other elders responsible for managing the Xishui League, but also many other worshippers including Zhang Peng.
Ma Xiaotao wore a veil and sat next to Fengling.
Zhang Peng gritted his teeth and said: "Deputy leader, the Noumenon Sect is going to kill my direct disciples in the competition. We must kill them all."
Feng Ling glanced at him indifferently: "I told you not to act rashly."
Her tone was much stronger, suppressing Zhang Peng's anger.
"Send people to prepare first, and be ready to mobilize the secret realm of Xishan. When they arrive at Xishan, they will have no choice but to be slaughtered by us." Fengling ordered, and a worshiper left the rest area and flew further to the west. .
Under the watchful eyes of all the audience, the timer soul guide sounded on time, announcing the official end of the soul guide production process.
"Time's up, everyone stops."
Mr. Zhang shouted loudly, and the soundproof shield on the competition stage slowly disappeared.
"All contestants have successfully completed the production of the soul guide. In the later competition, you will only be allowed to use the soul guide you made in this session."
The eight contestants, including Ye Guyi, couldn't help but wipe the sweat from their faces. Huo Qiu'er was the only one who didn't show any signs of fatigue and looked out of place.
Mr. Zhang continued: "The following is a skills assessment. Next, you will complete the skill assessment within the specified time. The last person to complete will be eliminated."
He specifically glanced at Huo Qiuer's soul guidance device and confirmed that it was really just a strange-looking fourth-level soul guidance ray. The doubts and curiosity in his heart deepened.
