Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 114

Before No. 48 could react, he felt a strong mental force coming at him. Huo Yuhao's mental detection ability allowed him to accurately grasp the position and movements of his opponent, thus taking the absolute initiative in the confrontation.

Huo Yuhao seized the opportunity and launched a full-force attack. The front end of his soul guide extended a metal tube again, rotating faster and with more dense energy beams. No. 48 tried his best to dodge, but was eventually hit by a beam on the shoulder, and was knocked back a few steps.

Huo Yuhao did not give him a chance to breathe, and quickly followed up, firing a series of energy beams again. Number 48 was forced to retreat again and again, and the last one was unstable and hit in the leg, losing balance and falling to the ground.

The referee immediately announced: "Number 66 wins!"

Golden Hall.

"Li Pingfan, what is the origin of No. 66? The soul guide he made is very special!" The chief judge called Li Pingfan to his side and asked in a low voice. He originally planned to spend money to buy the soul guide cannon that Huo Yuhao had just made. It was obviously a fourth-level soul guide, but it exerted the power of a fifth-level soul guide. Whether in terms of materials used or production speed, this is a huge advantage. This technology can even change the pattern of soul guide production.

Li Pingfan whispered: "Sir Chen, it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that the origin of this VIP No. 66 is someone we can't afford to offend. He..." Having said that, he made a gesture.

The chief judge was shocked, "Are you sure?"

Li Pingfan leaned close to his ear and whispered something in a low voice.

"Well. Okay, go ahead. Don't let anyone know what I asked you just now." There was an obvious flash of fear in the chief judge's eyes, and then he immediately returned to normal.

"Yes." Li Pingfan laughed secretly in his heart. How could I let you get in touch with Lord Tang Wu? I am counting on you to help me become rich.

Huo Yuhao and He Caitou both returned to the VIP lounge from the confrontation area. Wang Donger and Nana were already waiting for them there. As soon as the four of them sat down, the door of the lounge was pushed open and a middle-aged man walked in. It was Li Pingfan.

"Congratulations to both of you. Your performance was truly amazing." Li Pingfan smiled broadly and bowed, "Especially Mr. Huo, number 66. Your confrontation just now was truly eye-opening."

Huo Yuhao smiled calmly, "Master Li, thank you for your praise. We are just doing our best."

Li Pingfan nodded, and then said, "Mr. Huo, I wonder if you could move over and talk to me. I have something I want to ask you in private."

Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned, but still nodded and agreed, "Okay, please."

The two walked out of the lounge and came to a secluded corner. Li Pingfan lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Huo, in the competition just now, I was deeply impressed by the soul guide skills you demonstrated. I wonder if Mr. Huo is interested in further cooperating with our Aodu Chamber of Commerce to jointly study these advanced soul guide manufacturing technologies?"

Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows, "Cooperation? How exactly do we cooperate?"

Li Pingfan smiled mysteriously. "Our Aodu Chamber of Commerce has a wide influence in Mingdu and even the entire Sun Moon Empire. If Mr. Huo is willing, we can provide the best resources and equipment to help you conduct more in-depth research. In addition, we can market any research results and we will split the profits 50-50. How about it?"

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. The resources and influence of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce were indeed not to be underestimated, but he also knew that such cooperation would have many restrictions and might affect the development strategy of the Tang Sect.

“Lord Li, I need to consider this proposal carefully. After all, this is an important decision that concerns the future of our Tang Sect.” Huo Yuhao said solemnly.

Li Pingfan nodded to show his understanding. "Of course, you can take your time to think about it. No matter what, the door of Aodu Chamber of Commerce is always open to you. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Li. I will seriously consider it."

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to return to the lounge, another man in a golden robe walked over. He looked to be around 40 years old, with a calm temperament, and was obviously an important figure.

"This is Mr. Huo, right?" the man asked with a smile.

Seeing this, Li Pingfan hurriedly introduced: "Sir, this is the vice-leader of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, Lord Li Wenzheng."

Huo Yuhao’s heart moved. The Aodu Chamber of Commerce also occupies an important position in the underground forces of the Sun-Moon Empire. He didn’t expect to meet their deputy leader today.

“Greetings, Vice Alliance Leader Li.” Huo Yuhao bowed politely.

Li Wenzheng smiled slightly, "Sir, I have seen your performance just now. You are indeed a rare talent. I wonder if you are interested in joining our Aodu Chamber of Commerce? I can provide you with a broader development platform and more abundant resources."

Huo Yuhao smiled secretly in his heart. It seemed that this match not only attracted the audience, but also attracted the attention of various forces. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you, Vice Alliance Leader Li, for your kindness. However, I have other things to do now, so it is not convenient for me to join any forces for the time being."

Li Wenzheng nodded, "I understand. Sir, the door of Aodu Chamber of Commerce is always open to you. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me."

Huo Yuhao bowed his hands in thanks again and secretly took note of this important information.

After returning to the lounge, Wang Dong'er, He Caitou and Nana all looked at him, obviously curious about the conversation just now.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, "The deputy leader of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, Li Wenzheng, just came to me and invited me to join them." Wang Donger frowned and said, "The Aodu Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest underground forces in the Sun Moon Empire. How do you plan to deal with it?"

Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice: “We, the Tang Sect, are now in a critical period of development and cannot easily join any forces. However, this also shows that our strength and technology have attracted their attention. We can take this opportunity to gain more resources and support.”

He Caitou nodded and said, "Yes, although we can't join easily, we can take advantage of this opportunity and ask them to provide us with some resources."

Huo Yuhao agreed and said, “That’s right. Next, we will continue to keep a low profile and strive to win more games to improve our status among these underground forces.”

The four continued to discuss the next strategy. They knew very well that in this complex environment, only by keeping a clear head and strong strength can they survive and grow in the cracks between various forces.

The competition continues, and Huo Yuhao and his partners are also achieving their goals step by step. In this world full of challenges and opportunities, they will continue to work hard to win more victories and honors.

Night fell quietly, and four figures appeared in the dark corners, exactly the same as before.

"Yuhao, our opponent tonight is not easy to deal with. Do we have to win, or..." He Caitou asked in a low voice.

Huo Yuhao said, “Second Brother, now you are Tang Si and I am Tang Wu, you should call me Second Brother. We can’t make any mistakes. We must win today, so let’s use our real skills. Many of the rare metals awarded today cannot be bought with money, and our Tang Sect is too short of these good things. After entering the top three, we will have to compete with the other two underground forces in the finals. It’s a pity that we can’t bet directly with rare metals, otherwise, the effect will be better. Let’s bet big today. Let’s win more money first.”

With the bets won in the previous few games, Huo Yuhao already had a huge fortune of more than 20 million gold soul coins in his hands. This money was enough to arm a 10,000-man army. But in the world of soul masters, more than 20 million gold soul coins were nothing. Soul masters are originally an extremely expensive profession. The soul guides that are successfully made are indeed worth a hundred times, but in the process of making them, how many soul masters can have a success rate as close to 100% as Huo Yuhao? Therefore, even some very powerful soul masters often need to make some relatively low-level soul guides in exchange for money to maintain their daily expenses. This is also an important reason why the soul master sect is very cautious in recruiting people, and why Mingde Hall has such a high status. Without the support of the country, it is impossible to support a group of soul masters who are constantly conducting high-end research!
In the familiar clubhouse, Li Pingfan would wait at the door every time since he stopped being a referee. Especially as Huo Yuhao and He Caitou continued to advance in the competition, his attitude became more and more respectful.

"Mr. Tang, please come in." As soon as Li Pingfan saw Huo Yuhao, he immediately walked up to him with a flattering look on his face.

Night fell quietly, and four figures appeared silently in the dark corner.

"Second brother, our opponent tonight is not easy to deal with. Do we have to win, or..." He Caitou asked in a low voice.

Huo Yuhao said, “Second Brother, now you are Tang Si and I am Tang Wu, you should call me Second Brother. We can’t make any mistakes. We must win today, so let’s use our real skills.

"Mr. Tang, please come in." As soon as Li Pingfan saw Huo Yuhao, he immediately walked up to him with a flattering look on his face.

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and followed Li Pingfan into the club. As soon as he entered the door, he felt the strong competitive atmosphere and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere. Tonight's game was destined to be extraordinary.

The hall they entered was different from the previous one. This time it was a more luxurious venue. The seats around were already occupied by the VIPs, and everyone's eyes were focused on the central competition area. Li Pingfan introduced in a low voice: "Two young Tangs, tonight's opponents are some top soul masters. Each of them has experienced many battles and their strength should not be underestimated."

Huo Yuhao nodded. He looked around the competition area and saw many familiar faces. Like him and He Caitou, the contestants participating tonight also had expressions of determination to win.

“Okay, let’s go get ready first.” Huo Yuhao said to He Caitou, and the two of them then walked towards the preparation area under the guidance of the staff.

"Today's opponents are not easy to deal with, but this is also a good opportunity for us to show our strength." He Caitou whispered.

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, "That's right. Not only must we win tonight, but we must win beautifully."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. Number 96 and Number 37 walked in from outside. They were still dressed in black. When they saw Huo Yuhao sitting there, Number 37 curled his lips and said, "I didn't expect you to last until this round. You'd better pray that you don't run into our brothers."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and said, “It’s hard to say who will win or lose. I’m betting 10 million gold soul coins on myself. Do you dare?”

Number 37's expression changed slightly. "Ten million? I didn't know there was someone as wasteful as you. You'd better pray that I don't get picked in the lottery."

No. 96 pulled him and nodded to Huo Yuhao. The two brothers walked aside and sat down.

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and the two carving knives used by the two of them appeared in his mind. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Wang Dong'er looked at his smile and thought to herself, I don't know what bad idea this bad guy is thinking of again. He must be trying to trick those two guys.

No. 96 and No. 37 arrived late today. Not long after they sat down, a staff member came to inform them that the competition was about to begin.

Entering the Golden Hall again, they immediately became the focus of everyone's attention in this magnificent hall full of people. Huo Yuhao, who was wearing a mask, also attracted widespread attention because of his uniqueness.

Huo Yuhao scanned the entire venue, and had already made up his mind. Today's competition was destined to be difficult, but he was confident that he could handle all challenges. In the center of the competition area, forty-eight soul guide production tables were ready, and each contestant was in his position, waiting for the signal to start the competition.

The referee announced the rules of the competition: "Dear contestants, this round of competition will be mainly based on actual combat. You can only use the soul guides you just made to fight until one party admits defeat or loses the ability to fight."
