Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 680 The Complex Spatial Soul Tool (6K)

Aside from Huo Yuhao, who worked for five hours but only made one soul tool, Number 98 and Number 96 both made six soul tools, and the others each made four soul tools.

This is enough to show how strong these contestants who made it to the top six are. Soul Masters who are not fast enough in their production speed would have been eliminated in the earlier rounds.

On the competition stage, after a quick inspection, the three referees confirmed that Huo Yuhao's device was a successful soul tool.

But their eyesight wasn't as good as the Holy Spirit Cult members'.

The referees didn't understand why Huo Yuhao would create such a soul tool.

Although they could tell that this soul tool seemed to be an extremely complex spatial soul tool.

Its technical difficulty far exceeded the comprehension of these judges, but they had no idea what this soul tool was used for.

At this moment, Number Ninety-Eight's expression turned rather unpleasant.

His judgment was not as good as those referees'; he always thought that Huo Yuhao should make a soul tool that could be used for both offense and defense, such as a spherical soul-guided all-terrain vehicle.

But now it seems his judgment was clearly wrong. In this situation, some of his plans have fallen through.

He had originally spent two hours creating an invincible shield specifically to target Huo Yuhao!

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

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

The chief referee took the megaphone from the emcee and first announced the number of soul tools made by everyone. Then he said in a deep voice, "Now I will conduct the routine questioning. The soul tool making process is over. Since this is the final six battle, no matter what the soul tools made are like, they must be tested in actual combat."

"Only through the test of actual combat can the power of the soul tools you have created be demonstrated. Now I ask you, anyone who feels that their soul tool is insufficient to fight against their opponent may choose to withdraw."

"Otherwise, once the battle begins, any casualties will be the 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 generous rewards, who wouldn't want to give it a shot?

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.

Although the opponent drawn by number 96 was also quite strong, it depends on who you're comparing yourself to. This guy immediately pulled out a weakened version of the mental energy decomposition ray weapon, the Corrosion Decomposition Cannon.

With a single shot, it shattered the opponent's only defensive soul tool, the Soul Power Recoil Shield—the Disintegration Cannon is a natural counter to counter-attack defensive soul tools.

The timely appearance of this corrosion-decomposing cannon in this match was no accident.

In this face-to-face soul tool making competition, in addition to the huge boost that one's own strength gives to the competition, the speed at which one makes soul tools and the scope of one's knowledge of soul tools are equally important.

Just like rock-paper-scissors, if you can make soul tools quickly enough, you can make one or two more moves. And if you have a wide range of soul tools, you can make soul tools to counter the opponent's soul tools.

The opponent's defensive soul tool is a soul power recoil shield, which defends against the impact cannon I previously made. So I made a corrosion decomposition cannon to counter the opponent's soul power recoil shield.

Of course, the Corrosion Decomposition Cannon also has its own nemesis, but whether it can be made depends on whether the opponent's soul tool design field is broad enough and whether the soul tool production speed is fast enough.

This competition tests the depth and breadth of a Soul Master's research in two ways. If we remove the absurd condition that Soul Masters carry their own Soul Guidance Devices into the competition, it is still quite remarkable.

Huo Yuhao couldn't even imagine what it would be like for a Title Douluo who could only create first-level soul tools to stand on the competition field.

Tsk.

The second match was quite close; it was a pretty interesting game of two weak teams pecking at each other.

Both of them crafted four soul tools. Despite their mutual restraint, the final result still became a contest of martial soul combat power.

In the end, another contestant's soul-guided cannon hit the opponent's breastplate, but failed to send the opponent off the field. Instead, the contestant was slapped away.

The third match begins.

The two entered the arena, one on each side. Each had brought their own soul-guided device that they had made earlier.

Huo Yuhao placed the red and white ball in his palm, gently stroking its surface, a mysterious smile on his face.

"Are you ready?" came the referee's question from the direction of the referee's stand, which was high off the ground.

"Ready?" Huo Yuhao and Number Ninety-Eight said almost in unison.

"Alright, raise the protective soul-guiding shield."

A pale yellow soul-guided shield rose up, transforming into a hemisphere that completely covered the entire arena, preventing the power of the soul-guided devices from damaging the Golden Hall during the competition.

Number Ninety-Eight's face showed a cautious expression, and he was holding a strangely styled soul-guided cannon in his right hand.

"The match begins!"

With a loud shout from the referee, the final match of today's top six tournament began.

Huo Yuhao remained motionless, neither releasing his martial soul nor activating his soul rings.

Meanwhile, number 98 on the opposite side was making "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sounds under his feet.

Two yellow, two purple, and two black spirit rings rose one after another, and a dense surge of spirit power immediately emanated from his body.

Number Ninety-Eight took a few steps forward, hoisting the Soul Guidance Cannon from his hand onto his shoulder.

Of the six soul tools he made, apart from the invincible shield, this one took the longest to make.

The Soul Cannon, carried on his shoulder, seemed to be embedded in it, giving a sense of seamless integration.

This is an essential quality for an excellent Soul Master. The Soul Guidance Device they create must be compatible with themselves.

The number ninety-eighth soul-guided cannon is entirely silver-white, with a faint blue light shimmering on it. The frontmost muzzle is a flat rectangle, which looks somewhat strange, with a faint light shimmering on the dark, flat muzzle.

With the increase in soul power, a soul tool on Number Ninety-Eight's waist began to emit light; it was also an energy-gathering soul tool.

However, after this soul tool was activated, the muzzle of the soul cannon on Number Ninety-Eight's shoulder emitted a bright blue light, and there was also a faint black aura flowing around the muzzle.
