Douluo Continent: I got the Sharingan at the start!

It must all be his idea. I must say, this young man is a genius.

If possible, I would be happy to take him under my wing.

An old man sitting on the other side of the vice leader smiled and said, "Even the third brother has taken a liking to talent. In that case, I'll have someone talk to him after the competition."

Let's see what he thinks.

My men just relayed a message: after careful examination, the soul tool he used for the bet was produced by Mingde Hall, and it's very likely made by Mingde Hall's head, Jing Hongchen. It's at least a level eight soul tool, but its actual power needs to be determined after evaluation.

The vice leader asked in surprise, "Could he be a disciple of Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall?"

However, I've never heard of Jing Hongchen having a disabled disciple.

Third brother, do you think he can beat your precious apprentice?

The third brother shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Of my two apprentices, Huang Zheng is more composed and steady in his actions."

As a senior student, he was very competent.

But in terms of talent, Merck is a bit better. However, the kid has a major flaw: he's easily arrogant.

He's a bit better around me, but he always looks down on others.

I've told him this many times, but he just won't change.

I actually hope he loses to number 66 today; it wouldn't be a bad thing for his future development.

The vice-leader said, "Then let's wait and see."

Second Elder, how did the Xishui Alliance fare in this competition?

The old man who had spoken to the third brother earlier said, "It's about 33 percent more than we originally planned."

The vice-leader nodded and said, "Very good. We will then intensify our efforts to control those rare metal mines currently in government hands."

"At that time, you'll also need to send more personnel. These are the core resources of our sect."

"Yes," the Second Elder replied respectfully.

On the competition stage, after a quick inspection, the three referees confirmed that Han Yu was a successful soul tool.

But just like the Third Elder and the Vice Sect Leader's doubts, the judges also didn't understand why Han Yu would create such a soul tool.

You should know that this kind of soul tool can only be used for defense in battle. Defense is just passively taking hits. Do you want to consume soul power to decide the outcome?

Number Ninety-Eight's expression turned somewhat grim upon seeing that the soul tool Han Yu had created was a shield.

He had always thought that Han Yu would create a powerful offensive soul tool, but now it seemed that his judgment was clearly wrong.

In this situation, some of his targeted plans fell through.

He had originally spent two hours creating an invincible shield specifically to counter Han Yu!

Soon, the soul tools of the six soul masters were all appraised.

Apart from Han Yu, who only has one soul tool, Number 98 has completed six soul tools, Number 96 also has six, and among the other three, Big Han has five, and the other two have four.

In terms of sheer numbers, numbers 96 and 98 clearly hold a significant advantage.

The chief referee took the megaphone from the master of ceremonies, first announced the number of soul tools made by everyone, and then said in a deep voice, "Now I will conduct the routine inquiry."

The soul tool making process has ended. Since it is the final six battle, no matter how good the soul tools you make are, they must be tested in actual combat. Only by passing the test of actual combat can the power of the soul tools you make be demonstrated.

Now I ask you, anyone who feels their soul tool is insufficient to fight against their opponent can choose to withdraw.

Otherwise, once the battle begins, any casualties will be the sole responsibility of the insured.

These words immediately created a tense atmosphere on the competition stage.

At this moment, a large number of staff members went up on stage to remove the six soul tool manufacturing tables and temporarily move the rare metals used as rewards away.

Clearly, this circular arena will be the place where the six Soul Masters will determine their victories.

No one quit. With such a generous reward, who wouldn't want to give it a try?

Even if you are no match for them, you can at least admit defeat.

In a competition that pits players against each other using soul tools, the possibility of dying from losing is quite small.

"Very good. Since no one has dropped out, let's begin the competition immediately."

First up, please welcome Soul Master No. 96 to face off against Soul Master No. 37.

Because of the high stakes involved in the bet between Han Yu and Number 98, it was clearly intended to be the grand finale.

The confrontations that followed naturally began with the most unequal odds.

Number 37 was completely outmatched in terms of momentum against Number 96. Without any suspense, Number 96 achieved an overwhelming victory in just five minutes.

Next up was the confrontation between Big Han and Number 85.

Shouldering a heavy cannon, the burly man slowly walked toward the arena. He had crafted a total of five soul tools: the dark heavy cannon he was currently carrying on his shoulder, a breastplate, a shield, a waist guard, and a helmet.

Five soul tools can be considered a combination of offense and defense. Among all six soul masters, almost everyone has chosen this path.

The opponent of the Great Han was simpler in comparison, with a breastplate and two much smaller soul-guided cannons on his arms.

There is also a soul tool that looks like a belt.

This venue, being located inside the Golden Hall, is much smaller than the competition venue for the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.

There was not much room for maneuver between the two sides; either side's ranged attack could land on the opponent in an instant.

The three referees took their positions, and the head referee shouted, "Begin!"

The big man and number 85 released their martial souls almost at the same time. The big man moved very quickly, and the moment the six soul rings suddenly rose from his feet, there was a gasp of surprise from the audience.

Six-Ring Soul Emperor.

This means that this masked, burly Soul Master is likely a Level 6 Soul Master!

Some gamblers who had bet on the big man had already started cheering.

The opposing number 85 was clearly inferior, with two yellow and three purple spirit rings. Not only did he only have five spirit rings, but they were also not the optimal spirit ring combination.

The two of them released the same soul tool first: a soul shield. Both emitted a hazy white light, enveloping their bodies.

They are the same in terms of the level of their soul-guided shields.

Both are level five. After all, there are only five hours to make a soul tool.

The belt-style soul tool around Number 85's waist immediately emitted light, and rings of intense light emanated from his waist. The fluctuations of his soul power surged at an astonishing speed.

"Wow, everyone look! The soul tool released from contestant number 85's waist is a very rare energy-gathering soul tool."

It allows one to make their soul power more concentrated in a short period of time.

This kind of soul tool is not only very difficult to manufacture, but also requires precise control when using it; otherwise, one wrong move could injure oneself.

I can already imagine that the attack from Soul Master No. 85 will be as fierce as a storm!

With the enhancement from the energy-gathering soul tool, his attack power can definitely rival that of a level six soul master for a short period of time.

Facing the opponent's energy-gathering soul tool.

The burly man made no comment, calmly raising his left arm to block his chest. The shield on his left arm, which was only a foot in diameter, emitted a soft hum, and then...

A layer of orange-yellow light emanated from it.

"Hey everyone, look! That's a great target! The shield released by Soul Master No. 88 should be a Soul Power Reflection Shield."

It has a strong resistance to all soul power attacks, or rather, soul guide beam attacks.

I just can't tell what level of soul tool this soul power recoil shield is.

Just as commentator Ajin started his tirade, the battle had already begun.

While energy-gathering soul tools can boost a soul master's attack power in a short period, they also significantly increase the soul master's soul power consumption.

We must win the game in a short period of time.

When Number 85 saw the six spirit rings on the big man's body, his heart sank. He knew that he might only have one chance.

Therefore, before the giant could react further, the pair of soul-guided cannons on his arms launched their attack. Two beams of light of different colors simultaneously blasted towards the giant.

The soul-guided cannon on the left fired a white-incandescent soul-guided ray, and a strange feeling appeared in the air as the ray flew through it.

Everyone seemed to see cracks appearing in the air as it passed by.

The air seemed to have turned into glass, and then shattered.

The other soul-guided cannon fired a pink ball of light, which was about the size of a fist and continued to increase in size as it flew.

Each of the players who made it to the final six has their own unique strengths. The player number 85 in front of us is no exception.

Even Han Yu was taken aback by the attack from the two soul-guided cannons.

Both of these are extremely rare level-five soul tools!

That soul-guided ray, which seemed to crack the air, was called the Rift Wave.

Although they differ by only one word from shock waves, their effects are worlds apart.

Shockwaves generate intense fluctuations and oscillations. During the eruption of a shockwave, it is like a device with countless blades. Once it hits a target, it generates a powerful cutting force and cuts irregularly in multiple directions.

It is extremely destructive and vicious.

However, it is very difficult to manufacture and not easy to learn, because this kind of ripple wave has some uncertainty, and the ripple wave ray soul guide itself is also very easy to self-destruct and injure itself.

Therefore, Soul Masters generally do not choose to use such unstable Soul Tools.

Judging from Number 85's confident demeanor, he clearly has a strong ability to control this kind of soul tool.

The pink orb on the other side wasn't much better; it was called the Weakening Cannon.

How to put it? It was the precursor to the aging ray that Wang Qiu'er was hit by before.

Once hit by the Weakening Cannon, its effect is difficult to diminish with any form of energy blocking, and the person hit will immediately enter a weakened state.

Moreover, it lasts for a very long time. It requires a long period of rest to recover.

Among level-five soul tools, these are two that are extremely difficult to manufacture.

Moreover, it consumes a great deal of soul power when used.

Number 85's four-piece set of equipment was clearly well-prepared: a level 5 soul guide shield to defend himself, an energy-gathering belt to increase his soul power, and then he used these two extremely powerful attacks to defeat his opponent.

It must be said that his design is quite good.

The ripple wave rays were the first to reach the giant.

The collision with the soul-guided shield released by the big man produced a piercing friction sound, and it was clear that cracks were rapidly appearing on the surface of the big man's soul-guided shield.

The most terrifying thing about the Ripple Wave Ray is that it can be emitted continuously. As long as the user's soul power can be sustained, it will not be interrupted.

Of course, this attack method also increases the likelihood of the soul tool itself being damaged.

Weakening shells came one after another. It was easy to imagine that if the Great Han fell into a weakened state, his soul-guiding shield would definitely not be able to block the ripple wave rays.

It could very well result in their bodies being torn apart instantly. Number 85, who launched the first attack, immediately gained the upper hand.

However, the big man remained calm and unhurried throughout.

He thrust the orange-red shield forward, and then, as if solidified, the orange-red light passed through the soul-guiding shield, blocking the ripple wave rays.

The cracks disappeared instantly.

Facing the weakened shells behind him, the big man moved his feet and suddenly took a step to the left, then his body dodged with astonishing speed.

It was truly astonishing that someone with such a massive body could dodge with such incredible agility.

The weakened shell was locked onto him, and it moved in rhythm with his body.

The helmet on the big man's head lit up at this moment, and a bright silver light suddenly lashed out, circling around his body. The weakened shell, which was already closely following him, was naturally within the range of the silver light and was immediately caught by it.

"This is... could it be the Capture Hand among the level 5 soul tools?"

A powerful being capable of capturing any energy entity.

This thing should be specifically designed to deal with fixed-mount soul-guided cannons.

"I never expected our contestant number 88 to create such a soul tool. The response was absolutely ingenious!"

The weakened shell was caught by the capturing hand, and its locking effect immediately disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, it was flung away by the big man's capturing hand.

An eye for an eye. The pink orb of light flew towards number 85 in the distance at an even faster speed than it had come.

Number 85 was also startled, but his response was quite appropriate. Although the Capturing Hand could capture an energy body at a certain speed, it could not maintain its lock-on ability. He dodged the cannonball with a quick movement.

But the ripple wave also paused for a moment.

Just then, a huge, bright blue beam of light appeared out of nowhere on the competition stage.

The thunderous roar sent shivers down the spines of the entire golden hall. (End of Chapter)
