Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 312 Level 9 Soul Guidance Device: Sun and Moon Divine Needles (4,000 words)

From the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, a middle-aged man wearing a purple cloak emerged. He walked with a powerful stride and didn't look like the leader of an underground force that controlled thieves and assassins; rather, he resembled an official in the government.

On the Ordinary Alliance side, it was naturally Shangguan Wei'er.

The first to speak was Nangong Wan. He didn't say much, only expressing his determination to win the championship.

Next was An Litong, the president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, with a faint smile: "Alliance Leader Nangong seems very confident, but the young people from our Aodu Chamber of Commerce are all outstanding talents. Furthermore, on behalf of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, I am betting 100 million gold soul coins on them. If any of them wins the competition, all the proceeds from that 100 million gold soul coins will belong to them."

The Aodu Chamber of Commerce's wealth and influence immediately made the vast majority of people present contribute to global warming on Douluo Star.

The gamblers who had participated in the betting also began to hesitate.

"Since you two are so confident, I can't fall behind. Although our Ordinary Alliance isn't as generous as the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, we have beautiful women. Whoever wins can choose from tens of thousands of beauties in the Ordinary Alliance. At the same time, I will also offer three dragon maidens with ancient bloodlines and virgin yin as their female slaves."

Upon hearing Shangguan Wei'er's words, everyone present couldn't help but have strange expressions.

If they weren't mistaken, the three people from the Ordinary Alliance were clearly three girls. How were they going to use this reward? Sell it?

The story of the Dragon Girl was also told in detail by the host, Lu Qi.

Dragon Girl is a special creature that is half-human and half-beast. She is extremely beautiful, but her body is covered with scales except for her face. The scales only disappear when she is in heat.

In such situations, the Dragon Girl becomes a vessel that allows people to absorb the essence of dragon blood, improve their physique, and even cause their martial soul to undergo a positive evolution.

However, these dragon maidens are extremely rare and carry a curse, making them very difficult to capture.

For a Soul Master, being able to unite with a Dragon Girl who possesses virgin Yin essence would eliminate all the side effects of using drugs to enhance one's abilities, and might even allow one's Martial Soul to evolve to a higher level without the need for drugs.

Judging from these speeches alone, Nangong Wan, who spoke first, was almost unremarkable. An Litong's 100 million gold soul coins were generous, but the dragon girl that Shangguan Wei'er offered was something that even 100 million gold soul coins might not be enough to buy.

The fact that the contestant received such a reward despite not having a male Soul Master seems a bit abstract.

However, considering the businesses controlled by the Ordinary Alliance, the advertising effect is quite obvious.

Nangong Wan returned to the rest area with a livid face. He stopped pretending and said directly to Huo Yuhao, "Use your strongest abilities to wipe out all of them. Do whatever you want. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong. I'll also get you a dragon girl from the Ordinary Alliance."

Huo Yuhao felt something was off, but he didn't show it on his face; he simply nodded.

After the leaders and presidents of the three underground forces gave their speeches, Lucci began to introduce the seven judges.

Of the seven judges, three were level nine Soul Masters, and the remaining four were level eight Soul Masters.

Nine enormous soul tool manufacturing tables have been set up on the competition stage, with various auxiliary instruments and rare metals placed on them.

In the final stage, no matter which Soul Master it is, they will no longer hold back.

"Next, let's invite Master Ye Yulin, the chief referee of this Soul Master Competition, a level nine Soul Master, and the Starry Sky Douluo with the title of Starry Sky, to bring out the final champion prize, which is jointly kept by the seven referees."

After the host, Lucci, made his announcement, an elderly man sitting in the center of the seven judges stood up, and a point of silver light shot into the sky from his right hand.

At first glance, the silver light looked like a spark, but as it rose into the air, it grew larger and larger. When it finally stopped and hung high in the air, it had become a ball of silver light.

When the host Lu Qi called out Ye Yulin's name, some people who knew Ye Yulin couldn't help but show surprise.

Ye Yulin, the Starry Sky Douluo, is no less talented in soul tools than Jing Hongchen in the Sun Moon Empire. His specialty is various high-altitude soul tools, which is why he is known as the Starry Sky Douluo.

According to legend, the various high-altitude soul tools released by Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin during battle are like a sky full of stars, and can even be used to launch attacks by taking advantage of celestial phenomena.

The most famous soul tool of Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin is the Sun God Needle, which is known for its powerful attack power among level nine soul tools.

After the ball of silver light stabilized in the sky, another silver beam shot down and landed in front of Ye Yulin. Ye Yulin simply raised both hands, and a pale golden ball of light appeared in the silver light. As the silver light slowly rose, it was like the rising sun.

When the golden sphere flew to the side of the silver sphere, the two spheres began to rotate around a single point.

Although it didn't come with a powerful killing aura like a level nine fixed-position soul guide cannonball, once the two orbs of light started to rotate, almost all the soul masters present who were level eight or above were shocked.

Lu Qi respectfully asked, "Respected Master Ye Yulin, may I ask you to introduce this final prize?"

Ye Yulin glanced at the golden and silver orb in the sky with some reluctance, and said in a deep voice, "This soul tool is one that I made, named the Sun and Moon Divine Needle."

"My Sun Needle has the drawback that it can only work during the day, but this Sun and Moon Needle can be used directly whether it is day or night."

"The Sun and Moon Divine Needle is an offensive high-altitude soul tool, with a maximum altitude and strike range of..."

After recounting the power and function of the Sun and Moon Divine Needle, Ye Yulin concluded earnestly, "This Sun and Moon Divine Needle is one of my proudest creations. I hope the final champion will not tarnish it. Also, do not attempt to analyze the Sun and Moon Divine Needle, or you will only suffer a backlash."

After listening to Ye Yulin's explanation, most of the Soul Masters present went crazy.

Without special opportunities, a Soul Master might never even see a Level 9 Soul Tool appear in their lifetime.

Ye Yulin's Sun and Moon Divine Needle is considered one of the top-tier level nine soul tools.

However, Ye Yulin only talked about the power and benefits. The Third Elder of the Xishui Alliance, who was also a ninth-level Soul Master and the old man standing next to the Xishui Alliance Leader Nangong Wan, snorted and said, "Ye Yulin, that old bastard, makes it sound nice, but in reality, the Sun and Moon Divine Needle needs to be charged for three days after being used three times. Moreover, it cannot be charged with Soul Power and can only be passively charged with the radiance of the sun and moon."

"Although its attack power is strong, it also consumes a lot of soul power and mental power. Even for me, it takes nearly half of my soul power to use this thing after three times. The mental power required to execute a precise strike is even greater."

"Those powers are only theoretical, but the altitude they can reach is real." Hearing the Third Elder nitpicking, Nangong Wan chuckled and said, "Third brother, you are indeed inferior to Ye Yulin in terms of high-altitude soul tools. Besides, this old guy is here today representing the royal family, so don't bother arguing with him."

“However, what the third brother said is also true.” Nangong Wan looked at Huo Yuhao, the disguised giant, and Huang Zheng, a member of the Xishui Alliance, who were participating in the competition, and said, “No matter who of you wins the championship in this competition, it is best not to use this level nine soul tool before your strength reaches the ninth ring, otherwise it will easily cause a backlash. Moreover, he should have added a self-destruct device to his Sun and Moon Divine Needle. Once it is removed, the consequences will be very serious.”

Although all three of them watched it, Nangong Wan's focus was clearly on Huo Yuhao, which made Huang Zheng, who had been smiling all along, look a little unhappy, and Mo Ke was even more resentful.

"The prizes have been displayed, the judges are seated, and now, please welcome the nine Soul Masters who will participate in the final competition to the stage!" Lu Qi shouted on the competition stage, heating up the atmosphere.

"In the upcoming competition, you will have three hours to create your soul tools. The entire process will be conducted under the supervision of seven referees. We will resolutely oppose any behavior that violates the rules and fairness. If any such behavior is discovered, you will be immediately expelled from the competition!"

The contestants from the three underground factions arrived on the competition stage accompanied by their respective leaders. Nangong Wan, An Litong, and Shangguan Weier exchanged a few words with each other.

Then, the nine contestants began to observe each other.

The three contestants from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce all looked to be around thirty years old, right at the limit of the age for participating in the competition, and they appeared very composed.

The three female Soul Masters of the Ordinary Alliance also attracted a lot of attention.

Under Ye Yulin's command, all nine contestants arrived at the Soul Tool Making Table.

Ye Yulin had a cold and stern expression, and she didn't give Nangong Wan and the other two a friendly look.

He came to this competition out of respect for Crown Prince Xu Tianran, who was the most likely to inherit the throne and lead the Sun Moon Empire in the future.

As for the Sun and Moon Divine Needle, Xu Tianran promised to provide generous compensation, which is why Ye Yulin reluctantly gave it up.

However, being here is one thing, and Ye Yulin treats the nine contestants who came to participate in the competition the same way she did when facing Nangong Wan and his two companions.

In Ye Yulin's opinion, what a Soul Master should do most is to focus on researching and creating Soul Tools, rather than wasting time participating in this ridiculous Soul Tool Competition.

Not to mention, this competition was organized by three dirty and despicable underground forces.

However, the rewards offered in this competition are indeed generous, so it's understandable that people are drawn to it by rare metals, which are indispensable resources for Soul Masters.

Despite knowing this, Ye Yulin still couldn't develop any goodwill towards the contestants.

After explaining the rules again, Ye Yulin immediately started the timer.

At the same time, the soundproof shield outside the competition platform was raised, and the nine people began to move.

Ye Guyi chose to create a close-range soul tool in the shape of a longsword, and Wang Dong'er also created a close-range soul tool.

For her, using a close-range soul tool is still more convenient.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, took out the Dark Azure Dragon engraving knife he had won against Merck and began to craft it.

Seeing Huo Yuhao use his Dark Azure Dragon to create a soul tool, Moke in the Xishui Alliance rest area silently shed tears of blood in his heart.

That was the Dark Azure Dragon that he had been with for so long! He had finally managed to give this engraving knife his own aura, but before he could even warm it up, it became someone else's engraving knife.

There are cows! There are cows here!
But no matter how much Merck cried and cried out in his heart, he could only watch as the dark azure dragon continued to flutter and be carved in Huo Yuhao's hands.

At this moment, several people from the Xishui Alliance suddenly arrived. The leader was wearing a black robe, and her appearance was not visible. Only her shapely figure could be used to determine that she was a woman.

Upon seeing this person arrive, Nangong Wan immediately bowed slightly: "Vice Sect Leader."

The vice-leader asked, "Have you investigated Huo Tong's background?"

Nangong Wan quickly bowed and said, "Please make a judgment, Vice Master. This person seems to have appeared out of thin air. I have investigated for a long time but have not been able to find out his background. However, I heard from the manager of Qingse Hotel that he came for the competition rewards, so he should not be rich. Therefore, I think his background is not very important. We just need to brainwash him."

"Fool!" the vice-leader muttered in a low voice.

Nangong Wan's expression changed, and then he heard the vice sect leader say, "He is a genius soul master, and a mental soul master at that. If you brainwash him, his memory will be greatly impaired, which will greatly affect his ability to make soul tools. Are you out of your mind? Just offer him great benefits to win him over. I think the Holy Sect's resources are enough for him."

Nangong Wan quickly replied, "The Vice Master is right. That Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell was brought to him in order to win him over. I was thinking that if he refused to comply, I would use brainwashing."

The vice-leader nodded slightly and said, "Then from now on, send people to follow him non-stop and not let him out of sight. The Holy Church is about to hold a major event, and we must not let other things affect the Holy Church's actions."

"Yes," Nangong Wan bowed and replied.

"The leader has other instructions for me to do, they will stay and help you." With that, the vice leader turned and left.

Time passed second by second, and after two and a half hours, the first person had completed the creation of his soul tool, which was Huang Zheng from the Xi Shui Alliance.

The soul tool created by Huang Zheng is a huge mechanical arm with mechanical claws. However, just by looking at it, one cannot tell what secrets this soul tool holds.

After Huang Zheng, the others also finished their work one after another. The second one to finish was also a member of the Xi Shui Alliance, namely the disguised giant, who was the He Cai Tou that Huo Yuhao had guessed.

The soul tool he created was a giant cannon, its overall size terrifyingly large for a soul master, something no normal human could possibly lift.

Soon, before time ran out, everyone had finished making their soul tools.
