Douluo: Man in the Endless World, Auspicious Beast of the Far North

Chapter 166 Is this thing really a soul guide?
The second round of the competition is different from the first round in that there is a production time limit.

The soul guide competition not only requires the level of the soul guide made by the soul guide, but is also closely related to the soul guide's own strength and the use of the soul guide.

It can be said that Yunze was not at a disadvantage in this round of competition.

He looked at the various rare metals on the workbench in front of him and fell into deep thought.

On the high platform, Shangguan Wei'er looked around the venue and finally set her eyes on Yunze.

There were many talented soul masters in the field, and among the thirty-two remaining contestants, there were even more than a dozen level five soul masters. Although they were relatively old, all around twenty years old, they had a significant advantage in this competition.

"This little guy, aren't you going to take action yet?"

Shangguan Wei'er stroked her tender red lips with her jade hands and spoke with interest.

After a while, Yunze seemed to have thought of making some kind of soul guide, so he picked up the rare metals and started working on it.

It was still the same dazzling engraving technique, and Shangguan Weir also realized this time that this was a very unique engraving technique.

This method is a special engraving method inherited by Yunze from Xuan Ziwen.

Although Xuan Ziwen is not an eighth-level soul engineer, his attainments and experience in soul guides are actually comparable to some ninth-level soul engineers.

The ice crystal carving knife continuously carved lines on the surface of the rare metal. Yunze moved very quickly and completed the engraving of a soul guide core array in just a short time.

As time passed, Shangguan Weiler discovered that what Yunze made was not a third-level soul guide, but a fourth-level one!

Generally speaking, some soul engineers who are about to reach a bottleneck are able to make soul guides at a higher level.

But Yunze is only eleven years old, and at such a young age he can already make a fourth-level soul guide. Such talent is definitely one in a million in the entire Mingdu.

Even Xiao Hongchen, who was known as the number one soul guide genius in the Sun-Moon Empire, had only reached the level of making a third-level soul guide at his age, and had not even passed the third-level soul guide badge.

Moreover, Shangguan Weiler didn't know that Xiao Hongchen had been learning about soul guides with his grandfather at a very early age, while Yunze only came into contact with the study of soul guides after coming to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy.

The concepts between the two are completely different.

After putting down the carving knife, Yunze looked at the finished product on the table with a satisfied smile.

Shangguan Wei'er was a little confused.

No, what is this soul guide?

She had never seen such a soul guide before!
The metal used by Yunze is a kind of icy metal called cold iron jade gold.

This metal has excellent hardness, and because it contains very cold ice elements, it can hold a lot of energy.

The soul guide made by Yunze was a hilt, without even a blade, and looked extremely strange.

"What a strange weapon." The blonde girl beside him said with some curiosity.

The second round of the competition only had a total production time of one and a half hours. After the time was up, the girl in the purple skirt announced the draw and battle order for the second round of the competition.

The entire venue is divided into four areas, and four games can be held each time.

There are a total of thirty-two contestants remaining, and the winner after the competition will be able to proceed to the next round.

After the final four contestants are decided, they will compete for the top three spots in the competition. The randomness of this round is crucial; with luck, a slightly lower-level soul engineer might rank higher. Meanwhile, even soul engineers who have reached level five might be eliminated in the first round if they draw a strong opponent.

Yunze was assigned number 27. When he arrived at the third area, he found that his opponent was a young man with ordinary looks but a relatively strong physique.

Yunze glanced at the badge on his chest.

This guy is a fifth-level soul instructor.

The young man opposite looked at Yunze, but he didn't look relaxed.

By now, many people have guessed Yunze's identity. Even though he has reached the fifth-level soul engineer, he dare not be careless about this upstart in Mingdu.

Yunze's match was in the fourth and final round.

He and the young man sat in the rest area next to the area, watching the fight between the soul masters on the field leisurely.

The vast majority of soul engineers choose to make offensive soul guides, both long-range and close-combat.

Of course, the power of martial souls can be utilized in this soul guide competition, but the martial souls of many soul guides in Mingdu are not very strong, so it doesn’t really make much difference whether they have martial souls or not. What ultimately matters is the quality of the soul guide and the contestants’ use of the soul guide.

The games ended one after another. After the third round, Yunze and the young man walked onto the field at the same time and stood on both sides.

The soul guide used by the young man opposite is a heavy sword. His martial soul is a beast martial soul, which can achieve a good frontal attack effect when combined with the heavy sword.

His own cultivation level is that of a high-level Soul Master who is almost a Soul King, and his strength is not weak.

Yunze estimated that this guy's true strength should be around level 55.

Unlike the young man who was holding a heavy sword and covered with hair, Yunze was dressed in white, holding the hilt of the sword with a dashing posture.

"What kind of soul guide does this guy use?"

Several players in the rest area looked at the hilt of the sword in Yunze's hand with some confusion. Not only them, but even the young man on the field looked puzzled.

Is there a soul guide of this type?

"He's not planning on hitting anyone with this thing, is he?" one contestant said jokingly.

At this moment, a trace of soul power in Yunze's body was injected into the hilt of the sword through his right hand. With a flash of blue light, an ice-blue lightsaber unfolded at the front end of the hilt.

The entire sword seems to be made of ice crystals, but it is completely made of energy.

Shangguan Wei'er opened her mouth in surprise, "Melee soul guide?"

The soul guides currently possessed by the Sun-Moon Empire do not contain anything like this.

The young man also narrowed his eyes slightly. For some reason, he felt a sense of nervousness from the bottom of his heart.

The sword in Yunze's hand was not long, only about three feet. The whole sword looked fancy but had no other special features.

The referee in charge of this section was a middle-aged man. He withdrew his curious gaze and said indifferently, "Both sides, get ready. The match will begin in ten seconds."

As he began the countdown, the moment he shouted the final word, the young man's pupils suddenly shrank!
Yunze in front of him disappeared at this moment, and in the blink of an eye, a white shadow appeared in front of him!
Yunze raised his right hand and slashed down with his sword without any hesitation!
