Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 318 Soul Control
At this time, on the competition stage, there were dozens of metal tables, and soul guide lights flashed from time to time.

There are also some metal tables placed around the circular table, with a total of more than one hundred. Some of the metal tables are now empty.

The circles of sapphire velvet chairs on the periphery were filled with people, but they were all very quiet, concentrating on watching the people busy at the metal tables in the center.

A conservative estimate is that there were more than two thousand people watching. From their clothes, it can be seen that they were either rich or noble.

As far as Tang Wulin knew, those who could watch the fight in person were all big bettors, who had bet at least 10,000 gold soul coins, while ordinary people could only place bets at the peripheral betting points of these underground forces.

Huo Yutong had already completed the registration in advance. She nodded slightly to Tang Wulin and then walked onto the competition stage.

The rules of the competition are simple, which is to create a soul guide device of level three or above before the hourglass on the table runs out.

For Huo Yutong, who is now a quasi-seventh-level soul master, this is a task without any difficulty.

So she started carving while talking to the old man in yellow in front of her.

"Old man, you are also a soul master, right? What level of soul master are you?"

The old referee did not expect Huo Yutong to talk to him, but he did not show any rejection. Instead, he said kindly:
"Level three."

His granddaughter was about the same age as Huo Yutong, and Huo Yutong's current appearance was also very cute, so he subconsciously felt very close to Huo Yutong.

Huo Yutong continued with his actions while asking doubtfully:

"Level three? What if someone creates a soul guide of a higher level? Do you have a way to identify it?"

The old man said with some pride:

"Of course. Although my soul guide level is only level three, I have even witnessed the production process of level six soul guides. I have a very sharp eye and can tell the level of soul guides below level six."

"I see. That's amazing."

Hearing Huo Yutong's praise, the old man couldn't help but reveal a proud smile, but he still said seriously:

"Haha, don't think that your test difficulty will be reduced if you say a few nice words to me."

"Of course."

Huo Yutong smiled and nodded, then calmly extended his spiritual detection.

For her, everyone present could be a future opponent, so it wouldn't be wrong to take this opportunity to observe them in advance.

Unfortunately, after observing for two minutes, she shook her head helplessly in her heart.

To be honest, based on what she saw, the level of the soul masters who came here to participate in the competition was really low.

If her observation was correct, there was not a single level six soul engineer present, only two level five soul engineers, forty-two level four soul engineers, and the rest were almost all level three soul engineers, and there were even more than a dozen soul engineers below level three.

These contestants posed no threat to her at all, and Huo Yutong did not think that this was the full strength of the Xishui League.

I'm afraid that those truly high-end talented soul masters have already advanced through special channels, and this preliminary round is just used to sift through the strong and select the hidden masters among the people.

Huo Yutong's eyes flickered slightly as he asked the referee:
"Grandpa, can you tell me how many people are here to compete, and how many have qualified so far?"

This question was a bit beyond the point, but the old man who was the referee did not notice this and said kindly:
"Including you, there are now 265 soul masters participating in the competition, and 187 have advanced so far."

"That's it, thank you."

Huo Yutong showed a sweet smile, which made the referee even happier.

He didn't realize that there was something wrong with him. Normally, he wouldn't be so talkative. After all, he was in the black market, so how could he be a big mouth?

However, he was completely unprepared when facing Huo Yutong. He was not as kind as he was now even to his own granddaughter.

This was naturally Huo Yutong's doing.

As a direct disciple of Alex, Huo Yutong has learned not only the ordinary summoning of the undead over the years, but also many soul-related magics.

The Necromancer was very good at mental manipulation. The referee's cultivation was only at the fourth ring. With the huge mental power gap between the two that was already difficult to calculate, let alone inducing him like he was doing now, Huo Yutong could even completely control his mind at any time if she wanted to.

If he still remembered the conversation between him and Huo Yutong after he woke up, he would definitely feel creepy. Unfortunately, Huo Yutong had already left a backup plan in his mind. After he woke up, he would forget all the conversations between him and Huo Yutong and would not feel any sense of disobedience.

After confirming that there was no problem with the control, Huo Yutong asked casually as if asking a very common question:
"By the way, Grandpa, as far as I know, this competition here is organized by Xishui League, right?"

The referee nodded naturally.

"Yes."

"Then if I want to join them, Grandpa, can you introduce me to them?"

The referee's face changed, he looked around, and said seriously:
"I advise you not to do that. The people of Xishui League are not good people."

Obviously, for him, the horror of Xishui League is ingrained in his bones.

"Oh?" Huo Yutong's eyes flickered. "Why do you say that?"

The referee struggled for a while, but in the end he couldn't resist Huo Yutong's strength and replied:
"Because Xishui League is an organization composed of evil soul masters."

Huo Yutong narrowed her eyes slightly and then pouted.

"I don't believe it. I feel like you are lying to me, unless you let me see the evil soul master of Xishui League with my own eyes."

The referee was anxious.

"Silly girl, you can't..."

His voice came to an abrupt end as he met Huo Yutong's eyes.

In the depths of Huo Yutong's golden eyes, there seemed to be a gray flame burning slowly.

Huo Yutong smiled slightly.

"May I?"

The referee nodded dumbly.

"can."

Huo Yutong immediately smiled.

"Thank you. I knew you were the best, grandpa. We'll get in touch later."

After saying this, she transmitted a divine thought into the old man's spiritual sea, which contained an address. Then, she put down the carving knife in her hand, placed the completed soul guide device on the table, and left the soul guide table.

For her, earning rare metals from this underground competition was just a side benefit; the most important thing was to come into contact with the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church.

As long as this goal is achieved, her trip will not be in vain.
