Douluo Continent: I got the Sharingan at the start!

Three powerful level seven soul masters.

Moreover, everyone's face was covered with a veil, which clearly indicated that they all held a certain status in the outside world and were afraid of being recognized by acquaintances.

The three referees walked steadily onto the stage, each step seemingly pressing down on the heart of number 98, making him feel a sense of oppression.

Finally, the three referees stopped in front of number 98 and Han Yu, looking down at them.

Number Ninety-Eight took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions. He slowly extended his right hand, took out his carving knife, and handed it over.

Under the spotlight, he wasn't afraid that these people would dare to embezzle his carving tools, especially since he had a deep background.

His dark blue carving knife was noticeably larger than ordinary carving knives, and it seemed to have faint rust marks on it, but they didn't look like real rust. Instead, they exuded a mysterious aura.

With its ancient and grand appearance, featuring a dragon-shaped relief on each side, and a chilling aura emanating from the blade, one can sense the extraordinary nature of this carving knife simply by looking at it.

Of the three judges, the one in the center slowly extended his black-gloved hands and carefully took the carving knife.

His gaze fell on the carving knife, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. This look of surprise was fleeting, but it was still caught by the sharp-eyed Number Ninety-Eight.

"This is... the Dark Azure Dragon?" The referee in the center had a deep, hoarse voice, like the sound of two rough stones rubbing together.

Number Ninety-Eight proudly declared, "Indeed, it is my Dark Azure."

The referee turned around, took the amplifying soul tool handed to him by A Jin, and said in a deep voice:

"The wager of contestant number ninety-eight is the Dark Azure Dragon Carving Knife, a ranked carving knife. The Dark Azure Dragon Carving Knife is ranked fifty-ninth on the carving knife list."

It comes with two additional attributes: darkness and wind. Any soul tool made with it will also have these two attributes.

It weighs three times that of a regular carving knife, and its strength lies in its stability. When paired with a suitable soul tool, its effects will be extremely powerful.

When crafting soul tools of level seven or higher, the success rate increases by at least 10%.

Yes, this is the powerful Listing Carving Blade. For Soul Masters, it is almost a priceless treasure.

After announcing number 98, the three referees turned their attention to Han Yu.

Han Yu gripped the Red Dust Love tightly in her right hand, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force. Her brows were furrowed, her lips pressed together, and she remained silent.

Number 96 walked steadily to Number 98's side, asked a few questions in a low voice, and kept glancing at Han Yu and the Red Dust Love in his hand, his eyes revealing a trace of worry.

Number 98 lowered his voice, a hint of smugness on his face, and explained to Number 96, occasionally glancing at Han Yu with a provocative look.

After listening, Number Ninety-Six frowned even more and reprimanded Number Ninety-Eight in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of warning.

"What's your bet?"

The three referees approached Han Yu, and the lead referee asked in a deep voice. Han Yu remained silent for a moment, then slowly released her right hand, offering the "Red Dust's Longing" to him, her tone tinged with reluctance and helplessness:

"This was given to me by my teacher, so please don't break it."

After saying that, he raised his head, his eyes fixed on the "Red Dust Yearning" in the referee's hand, his eyes full of reluctance.

The lead referee took the "Red Dust's Lingering Love" pendant, feeling a warm, smooth touch. He turned it over and carefully examined its core magic array.

As his gaze deepened, his pupils suddenly contracted, his body trembled violently, and he couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "This is Mingde Hall..."

"Shut up!" Han Yu shouted sharply, interrupting the referee. The referee immediately snapped out of his daze, realizing his slip of the tongue, and quickly shut up, but shock and disbelief still lingered in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and quickly began to examine the worldly attachments.

The other two referees were also drawn to his reaction and curiously came over to examine the soul tool together.

As they observed further, their expressions gradually became serious, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

The soul tool was personally crafted by Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall!

Although they couldn't yet determine whether the soul tool had reached level nine, its complexity and the materials used made its value immeasurable. The three exchanged bewildered glances, stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Number 98 waited for ages, but the referee didn't announce the result. Growing impatient, he stepped forward and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Can we announce it now? Don't you dare show favoritism, or else..."

As he spoke, he touched another soul tool at his waist, his eyes filled with a threatening look.

The head referee took a deep breath to calm his excitement, nodded, picked up the megaphone, and said loudly:

"The wager of contestant number sixty-six is ​​a high-grade soul tool. Its grade cannot be announced due to some special reasons. But its value is definitely no less than that of the Dark Azure Dragon."

"Alright, we have verified the bet."

The Dark Azure Dragon will be temporarily used by Number Ninety-Eight. This soul tool will be kept here and given to the winning side after the competition.

The bet has been made; either side that reneges will become an enemy of the Xishui Alliance. We will fight to the death!

After saying this, the three referees put aside their worldly concerns and walked to the referee's seat behind the competition stage.

The judges' platform consisted of three chairs perched three meters above the ground. The dark red leather seats gleamed with a subtle yet luxurious sheen under the lights, providing a convenient vantage point for the three judges to observe the movements of all the contestants from above.

Ajin returned to the center of the arena, took the megaphone from the waiter, cleared his throat, and loudly proclaimed in a strong voice:

"Alright, this little episode is over. I believe the bet between the two Soul Masters will have some impact on the betting of our distinguished guests."

There are ten minutes left, please place your bets as soon as possible. The betting will close immediately when the time is up.

A Jin's deep voice echoed throughout the venue, causing a small commotion among the crowd. Whispers rose and fell, like drops of water being added to a pot of oil, instantly igniting a boiling cauldron.

Spurred on by this little incident, the gamblers indeed placed bets even more enthusiastically. Some huddled together in small groups, discussing in hushed tones, occasionally waving their arms excitedly;

Some stared intently at the odds table in their hands, their brows furrowed, as if engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

The noise, shouts, and clanging of metal mingled together, filling the entire casino with a tense and exciting atmosphere.

A faint light flickered, and a cold glint appeared on Han Yu's face. He stood up, gently pounded his left shoulder with his right hand to loosen his muscles, and a somewhat amused smile appeared on his lips.

They finally took the bait!

With steady steps, Han Yu arrived at the soul tool manufacturing table in area two and slowly sat down. He reached out and touched the cool metal surface, feeling the slight chill emanating from it.

Number Ninety-Eight also arrived at the soul tool manufacturing table opposite Han Yu, his face equally beaming. He looked at Han Yu and said provocatively:

"So it's still a product of Mingdetang, not bad at all. Looks like your bet is quite substantial," Han Yu replied coldly.

"You can still regret it now. Otherwise, if your engraving knife had lost to me, wouldn't you have been weeping bitterly?"

Number Ninety-Eight, upon hearing this, didn't get angry but laughed instead. He chuckled and said:

"Who's going to cry is still uncertain. You're dreaming if you think I'll withdraw from the bet."

Weren't you so arrogant just now? Why are you so quiet now? Enough with the nonsense, let's see who's the real fighter.

Don't worry, although I'm confident of victory, I will never underestimate you.

Today I will definitely use my most proficient soul tool to deal with you, and I won't give you even the slightest chance.

With each word Number Ninety-Eight spoke, his tone grew increasingly forceful, culminating in a near-provocative, deliberate delivery by the end.

Han Yu's expression changed slightly, but he remained silent. He took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, closed his eyes, and sat there to rest.

Soon, the rare metals and various refined precision metals used to make soul tools in the upcoming competition were brought up.

Because this is a five-hour competition, a considerable amount of rare metals have been prepared for today.

Only a portion of the soul tool manufacturing table was set up, and a shelf was specially pushed over and placed next to the soul master in the most suitable place to access it.

The fifteen-minute betting period ended quickly, and the noisy venue gradually quieted down. The gamblers returned to their seats, some eagerly anticipating the start of the match, while others whispered among themselves, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the two Soul Masters and predicting the outcome of the match.

Based on the previous introductions and the draw, the gamblers actually had a pretty good idea of ​​what would happen in today's top six matches.

The most exciting part is the battle between the two Soul Masters who are betting against each other.

The other two matches had fairly clear strengths and weaknesses, but the odds were pitifully low.

Only the match between Hanyu and No. 98 has relatively high odds.

Han Yu's odds are the highest. This is because, compared to number 98, he seems to be at a disadvantage.

Putting everything else aside, he was rated as a level 5 Soul Master, while No. 98 was level 6, and No. 98 also possessed the Dark Azure Dragon, a legendary engraving knife.

The odds for Cold Rain are now as high as 3 to 1, while the odds for No. 98 are only 0.8 to 1.

The odds for the other two matches were more balanced.

"The match begins." The match commenced with the referee's announcement.

The soundproof shield rose instantly, and the emcee was already outside the competition stage.

He was also responsible for commentating on today's match. He quickly climbed up a high scaffold outside the playing platform.

He sat in a seat five meters above the competition platform.

His seat was equipped not only with a loudspeaker soul tool, but also with a telescopic soul tool, allowing him to clearly see the different movements of the six soul masters on the competition stage.

With the announcement that the competition was about to begin, the six Soul Masters moved simultaneously.

There is no limit to the number of soul tools that can be produced in this competition.

In other words, you can produce as many soul tools as you can within a limited time.

How to choose the quantity and power is up to each Soul Master to decide on their own combination.

Han Yu's eyes were unusually serious today, and he also had the same belief in victory. However, he also understood that No. 98 was not easy to deal with. A level 6 Soul Master with the List Carving Blade was not much weaker than himself.

The only disadvantage is in terms of mental strength.

A faint crimson hue shone from Han Yu's eyes. He smeared his right hand on his forehead, and the emerald green, life-giving Blade of the Living Being was already in his grasp.

If the opponent uses a list-carving knife, how can he fight back if he doesn't use one?

Outside the competition stage, the emcee, A-Jin, exclaimed in surprise almost the instant Han Yu took out the engraving knife for listing the results.

"Wow, wow, distinguished guests, look! What has our Soul Master No. 66 brought out?"

The carving knife, entirely emerald green, looked from my angle like it was carved from a gemstone.

It was dazzling; it was a vibrant green, full of life!

"It's so beautiful! Our contestant number sixty-six is ​​truly accomplished; no wonder she dared to bet against contestant number ninety-eight."

Upon hearing this, the gamblers who had placed their bets on number 98 immediately turned pale.

Although Number Ninety-Eight couldn't hear the sounds outside, he still sensed when Han Yu took out the Blade of Life Watch. He looked up and was slightly taken aback.

It met Han Yu's gaze perfectly.

When their eyes met, he saw a peaceful smile in Han Yu's eyes.

He snorted coldly, "This is what you've been hiding? Let's not even talk about how your carving knife isn't on the list, even if it were, it would depend on who the user is."

Han Yu remained silent, picked up a piece of rare metal, and began her crafting.

What he brought over was a rare metal called Multifaceted Magic Gold.

This metal is very distinctive; when it is mined, it always has countless sharp edges, but apart from those edges, the rest of it is as smooth as a mirror.

The name "Multifaceted Magic Gold" comes from this.

What sets multifaceted magic gold apart from other rare metals is its inherent and strong repulsion towards soul power.

Any soul power that tries to be injected into it will be repelled by its own characteristics.

It can even generate several times the rebound force.

Of course, if the injected soul power exceeds its capacity, the multifaceted magic metal will explode with a "bang".

The rarity of the multifaceted magic gold itself is not very high, because its production is relatively abundant.

Generally speaking, it is the best choice for making defensive soul tools.

Especially the core magic array that serves as the soul-guiding shield.

Once completed, the resulting defense will be enhanced by the multifaceted magic metal's inherent ability to repel soul power. The effect is quite remarkable. (End of Chapter)
