Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 637 Is this the luck of your Imperial Beast? (8K)

"All the soul tools produced in this competition belong to the soul tool masters themselves, and we also provide acquisition services."

"Um."

Huo Yuhao didn't respond to the other party's words. His skill in making soul banners was obtained by searching the souls of evil soul masters from the Holy Spirit Cult, which was enough to prove his identity.

"You've passed the qualifying rounds, and tomorrow we'll begin the first round. It's an elimination tournament. Each round will eliminate one-third of the total number of participants from the previous round, until the final champion is determined."

"This is your qualification certificate. You can use it to collect your reward for this round from the staff."

As he spoke, he handed over a badge made of pure gold, which had a number on it. Huo Yuhao received number sixty-six.

"Sir, your bet hasn't opened yet, and your junior sister is still wandering around outside. Would you please wait a moment?"

Huo Yuhao nodded: "Tell my junior sister to stop playing and come over. As for the bet, it would be best if she wins, but it's okay if she loses. If she wins, she can keep the money and play again next time."

The old man readily agreed and hurriedly went out to find the middle-aged man.

After finishing his work, the middle-aged man was surprised to hear the old man in yellow describe Huo Yuhao's amazing soul tool making skills.

But when he heard that Huo Yuhao had made a metal banner that had a great influence on mental power, and heard the line "If you don't work hard in your cultivation, you'll become brothers in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner," he was already certain of Huo Yuhao's identity.

"grown ups."

When the middle-aged man came to Huo Yuhao again, his reaction had completely changed, and he addressed him as "Sir."

Huo Yuhao didn't even open his eyes to look at the other person, but instead looked at Wang Dong'er next to the middle-aged man.

"Did you have fun?"

"Well, it's still more fun than dealing with vengeful spirits, corpses, and skeletons."

Wang Dong'er looked like she still wanted more.

"You know in your heart what you should say and what you shouldn't say, right? You're a smart person, and I don't want you to end up in my Ten Thousand Souls Banner one day."

Huo Yuhao turned to look at the middle-aged man, a deathly gray glint flashing in his eyes, giving the middle-aged man a terrifying feeling as if his soul had left his body.

"Understood, understood. I will arrange a new identity for you two distinguished guests. People from the Soul Sacrifice Shop have arrived, but they are definitely not you two. Please rest assured."

Huo Yuhao made a barely perceptible nasal sound, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.

"You've got some sense. What's your name?"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao say this, the middle-aged man felt an indescribable surge of joy.

If someone like that can remember my name, wouldn't I be destined for great success in the future?

Good morning, little one.

Chen An replied respectfully.

"This prize money is all yours. If you win the 500,000 gold soul coins you bet on, help me exchange them for rare metals. You can keep 10% as a reward for your hard work."

Betting on a single number could yield a tenfold return. If Huo Yuhao actually bets on the correct number, he would earn at least five million gold coins. Even if he only takes one-tenth, he would still earn a full five hundred thousand gold coins.

Five hundred thousand gold soul coins was an enormous sum for him, a manager who was neither high-ranking nor low-ranking!

Chen An was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee beside Huo Yuhao, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir."

Huo Yuhao made another nasal "hmm" sound, then turned and left with his men.

Chen An quickly followed and escorted them all the way to the first floor of the Qingse Hotel.

Huo Yuhao turned his head slightly and looked at an old man who was drinking coffee and watching him. Huo Yuhao thought the old man's face looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Diufantu, one of the ninth-level soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire, is known as the king of storage soul tools.

Huo Yuhao suppressed his desire to visit this academic giant. There would be plenty of time in the future, and since this big shot had appeared at the Qingse Hotel, he would most likely continue to come here in the future.

As long as your performance is dazzling enough, you won't have to worry about not attracting this person's attention.

It wasn't until they were almost at the Mingyue Hotel that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er regained their original appearances.

"Yuhao, what strange things were you saying to Chen'an just now?"

Huo Yuhao simply chuckled and said, "There's a saying that goes, 'My lord's lord is not my lord, and my vassal's vassal is not my vassal.' Let the Holy Spirit Cult have some room for imagination, and let them have their own headaches."

"When the time is right, we will show the characteristics of the Soul Spirit without reservation. Anyone in the orthodox Soul Master world who isn't blind will naturally see the immense value of the Soul Spirit system."

"As long as the people of the Holy Spirit Cult are not stupid, they will surely understand that the Soul Palace is the old shop for soul sacrifice, and the old shop for soul sacrifice is the Soul Palace. Our soul spirit technology is a new technology that emerged after mastering the secret method of signing a soul contract with soul beasts."

"The Holy Spirit Cult, Xu Tianran, and the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire, who had already conspired to play along with us, just watch them make a mess of things."

"Although Xu Tianran relied on the power of the Holy Spirit Cult to ascend to the throne, do you believe that after destroying the three great empires or one of Shrek Academy, Xu Tianran will immediately turn his attention to the Holy Spirit Cult?"

"He could not stand by and watch the Holy Spirit Cult acquire an even more powerful power system. Even if he handed over this technology with unlimited potential to the Three Empires, he would not give it to the Holy Spirit Cult, a force that has always been pursuing how to manipulate souls."

"Is this what they mean by 'preferring to give to friendly nations than to domestic slaves'?"

"Won't they just turn against us?"

Wang Dong'er was still a little worried.

In response, Huo Yuhao confidently replied, "How will they turn against us? Who will do it? Will it be Xu Tianran, that suspicious guy who values ​​face so much, or someone from the Holy Spirit Cult?"

"As the competition progresses, Xu Tianran will not only avoid turning against the Soul Palace, but will also be wary of the Holy Spirit Cult."

The second round of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition has concluded, and forty-two teams have advanced to the third round.

Of these, 32 teams will advance to the next round.

That will depend on their performance in the third round.

Winning guarantees a spot in the next round, while losing still offers the chance to compete on tiebreakers.

After the first two rounds of competition, some of the weaker teams, even those that made it to the finals, have already begun to show signs of fatigue.

Team member injuries and attrition are major challenges for them.

In their second match, Tang Sect drew a rather tough opponent, a sect known as the Earth Dragon Sect.

In the individual elimination round, Bei Bei faced a girl named Nan Qiuqiu and almost lost. The opponent's martial soul possessed an extremely special power called Annihilation.

The type of martial soul is the extremely rare Crimson Dragon among sub-dragon species.

This ability has two particularly alarming characteristics. One is that it is not countered by any attribute, and the other is that after hitting an opponent, it causes the opponent to expend significantly more soul power in defense than normal.

Against Soul Masters with extreme attributes, this ability to annihilate isn't that powerful, but against Soul Masters with ordinary attributes, it's truly all-consuming.

In the second round of the competition, Beibei was like a ruthless feeding machine, frantically throwing thunder on the field, but all of her attacks were blocked by Nan Qiuqiu's Annihilation Chain Explosion and Annihilation Protection, leaving her looking disheveled.

Fortunately, although this martial soul was relatively effective against a lightning mage like Bei Bei, once Bei Bei figured out the opponent's attack method, he went straight in and delivered punches that landed squarely, and Nan Qiuqiu could no longer laugh.

You're really good at silencing other people's attacks, aren't you?

You try and obliterate my dragon claw?

Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly as he watched the match. The Annihilation attribute is a very interesting soul power attribute. He should pay more attention to these special soul power attributes in the future.

Putting everything else aside, if one's own artificial soul cores were all made of soul cores condensed from annihilation attribute soul power, the destructive power might even be on another level.

The only pity is that Nan Qiuqiu and the others have left Mingdu after the competition ended. However, fortunately, Huo Yuhao is no longer the ninja who has to walk to do everything he wants. With one order, Nana has already arranged for people to investigate the background of the Earth Dragon Gate.

Before Huo Yuhao could relax, Wang Qiu'er walked up to him somewhat shyly and handed him a note.

"What's wrong?"

Huo Yuhao took the note from Wang Qiu'er, on which was written a line of large characters.

In the first match of the third round, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team faced off against the Shrek Academy team.

"Is this the luck of your Imperial Beast???"
