Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 295 Leaked
"It's almost time."

Ming Lei Douluo glanced at the time, stood up, and saw that people below had already gone up to the platform to remove the metal tables, gradually revealing the original appearance of the underground arena.

"The soul tool manufacturing process is now complete." The referee's voice came from the arena through the sound transmission soul tool, and the people in the surrounding audience became excited.

"No matter how well you create your soul tools, they must be tested in actual combat. Only in this way can the power of your soul tools be fully demonstrated."

"Once actual combat begins, all casualties will be the responsibility of the individual. Anyone who lacks confidence can choose to withdraw in advance."

After the referee finished speaking, he seemed to be waiting for a response from the people on the stage, but no one spoke, clearly indicating that they were already prepared to participate in the actual competition.

"Since you all have such courage, let's begin the competition immediately. The first match—"

The referee's melodious voice, transmitted through the soul-guided communication device, completely stirred the emotions of the audience.

"Let's go, let's go downstairs and wait for them." Ming Lei Douluo glanced at the arena again, then turned and walked towards the door.

"Third Brother, shouldn't you take another look?"

"No need." Nether Thunder Douluo shook his head. "I know you can tell too."

"Of my two disciples, Huang Zheng is slightly less capable, and Mo Ke is arrogant and easily manipulated. He might be able to defeat ordinary opponents, but Tang Si and Tang Wu..."

Ming Lei Douluo shook his head as he spoke, "Although I don't know exactly which academy they come from, they are all contestants who can represent their academy in the Elite Tournament. They are not people that my two disciples can defeat."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao said no more. After thinking for a moment, he pressed down on his mask, stood up, and followed behind Ming Lei Douluo.

As Ming Lei Douluo predicted, there was already a gap between the two sides from the very beginning in their choice of which soul tool to make.

Merck spent a considerable amount of time creating an invincible shield.

It must be said that among all soul tools, the Invincible Shield is indeed a very outstanding soul tool, and it takes a very high level of skill to make such a soul tool.

However, spending too much effort on an invincible shield that can only withstand attacks for a few seconds is not a very smart choice.

Perhaps he thought that as an evil spirit master, as long as he could save his life, he would naturally have the advantage in the fight. However, after several days of competition, he still hadn't realized that his opponents were not ordinary people either.

"boom--"

As the invincible shield's duration ended, Merck's figure flew off the arena amidst the light of the soul-guided cannon.

His expression changed, as if he was about to say something more, but before he could speak, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Who?" Merck turned his head sharply, then quickly lowered his head after seeing who it was. "Teacher."

"Alright, isn't this embarrassing enough?" Ming Lei Douluo's expression turned serious as he looked up at the referee on the arena. "Announce the result."

"Yes." The referee responded, then turned to the audience, "After fierce competition, the champion of the Xishui Alliance division of this year's Mingdu Soul Instructor Competition has been determined..."

Ming Lei Douluo withdrew his gaze from the referee and waved to Huo Yuhao and He Caitou on the stage.

"Would you two young friends like to come over for a chat?" As soon as the voice fell, Huo Yuhao and He Caitou turned to look at Ming Lei Douluo. The moment He Caitou saw his face, he subconsciously wanted to reach out and pull Huo Yuhao next to him, but then stopped himself.

Huo Yuhao also suppressed his slightly faster heartbeat and calmed himself down before walking towards Ming Lei Douluo.

Although he had already guessed after hearing the location of the competition, his heart still beat faster when his guess was confirmed.

Of course, he still remembered the time he almost got discovered after infiltrating the underground arena for the first time. One of those three terrifyingly powerful experts was none other than the Nether Thunder Douluo standing before him, and the other...

Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over Lin Xiao and then quickly returned.

"I see that you two young friends are quite skilled. Would you like to come upstairs and discuss this in detail?"

Upon hearing the invitation from Ming Lei Douluo, Huo Yuhao's eyes showed a hint of wariness. "There's nothing to talk about. I'm only here to win the reward."

“Of course.” Ming Lei Douluo clapped his hands with a smile, and immediately a waiter brought over a gorgeous plate with a storage soul tool placed in the center of the silk brocade on it.

"According to the rules, after the two winners of the regional championships, they can represent Xishui Alliance in the finals. Before that, Xishui Alliance will naturally have a generous gift for them."

As he spoke, Ming Lei Douluo stepped aside to let the waiter step forward, "Inside are the gold soul coins and rare metals that we agreed on before. You can also take away all the soul tools you have made."

“However…” Looking at Huo Yuhao and He Caitou’s expressions, Ming Lei Douluo drew out his voice slightly, “I see that you two have such an urgent need for rare metals, I wonder if you are interested in their alternatives.”

"Are you kidding me? Rare metals are rare precisely because they are scarce and lack substitutes. If substitutes can be found, they are no longer rare metals."

Huo Yuhao immediately became wary, somewhat unsure of what Ming Lei Douluo meant.

During the years he spent as an exchange student, even the Sun Moon Empire had not solved the problem of rare metals. It was precisely because of the lack of materials that the development of the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool technology was limited to some extent.

Otherwise, the Sun Moon Empire would have been capable of reigniting the continental war long ago, instead of remaining silent as it is today.

Lin Xiao, standing behind Ming Lei Douluo, turned his head slightly and glanced at him.

A few days ago, Ming Lei Douluo said he would show him some "novel" things, but I didn't expect it to be such a "novel" thing.

There are things that can replace rare metals; on the contrary, Lin Xiao is quite familiar with them.

However, Mingdetang knew the value of alloy technology and naturally tried to prevent it from being leaked. Unexpectedly, it appeared on the underground market so quickly.

Since the Thunder God Douluo made this statement, he must have already seen the alloy with his own eyes.

Unaware of Lin Xiao's thoughts, the Thunder God listened to Huo Yuhao's doubts and chuckled confidently, "Of course you won't believe it, but you'll know when you see it for yourself."

"I can tell you in advance that as long as you can achieve good results representing our Xishui Alliance in the upcoming finals, you will naturally be able to access these things."

The Thunder God's gaze never left Huo Yuhao. He said he would come into contact with him later, but it also had other meanings.
