Chapter 718 The Underground Final (6K)

The following evening, the atmosphere in Mingdu, which had been quiet all day, gradually became lively again.

Because, in addition to the major competitions on the surface, another competition that is closely related to the lives of many people is about to begin.

Unlike the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, which had already concluded, the finals here had only just begun.

The final round of the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition, hosted by the three major underground forces of Mingdu, will be held tonight.

The three major underground forces will each send three Soul Master experts they have selected to participate in this final competition.

Of course, the indispensable betting games are also indispensable.

All sorts of strange and unusual betting methods have been developed by the three major forces.

Especially the Xishui Alliance.

Guess the rankings, guess the top three, guess the champion. There are even some strange ranking betting methods, you name it.

In order to maximize profits, the three major underground forces have racked their brains this time, fully leveraging their influence to lure more people in and get them involved in this final high-stakes gamble.

The rewards for the Soul Masters in this final competition are extremely generous.

The ultimate champion will receive a level nine soul tool, which is priceless in itself. They will also have the option to acquire a rare metal weighing up to one ton.

The final champion will have 49 rare metals to choose from, with the total weight not exceeding one ton. Each rare metal can weigh no more than 100 kilograms.

Besides the champion, the runner-up and third-place winner also received prizes, but they were much less valuable. They didn't have level-nine soul tools, but only a ton of rare metals.

As for those who placed fourth through ninth, they didn't even receive a single gold soul coin as a reward.

This reward system is undoubtedly intended to further ignite the competitive spirit of the nine participating Soul Masters.

Moreover, these are all official rewards, with each of the three major underground factions providing incentives to their respective team members. Upon victory, they will also receive a substantial reward from the underground faction they represent.

It is precisely because of such generous rewards that so many outstanding young soul mentors participated in this competition.

A fledgling hotel.

"Hun Tiancan hasn't arrived yet? Didn't you inform him of the time?" The Third Elder looked at Chen An with an imposing air, his eyes already turning somewhat sinister.

Chen An's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he hurriedly said, "I did notify them. I notified them a long time ago. After the last semi-final, I told them to come early today to make some final preparations."

"Hmph! If they don't arrive, you'll have to pay for the losses of the Xishui Alliance. Pay with your life," the Third Elder said coldly.

"Third brother, don't make things difficult for him. I believe that kid will come. After this final is over, we need to have a good talk with him. That kid is really ruthless. He's a useful talent."

A deep voice rang out, and the tall and imposing leader of the Xishui Alliance, Nangong Wan, arrived in the hotel lobby.

At this time, the entire Qingse Hotel was under martial law, and a large number of burly men dressed in black occupied most of the lobby.

In the center of the hall, besides Nangong Wan, Ming Lei Douluo and his two disciples—Huang Zheng and Mo Ke, there were also some large boxes piled up.

It goes without saying what's inside the box: rare metals used in the competition.

Just then, a sound suddenly came from the doorway.

Guided by two men in black, Huo Yuhao, with a nonchalant expression, appeared in the sight of Nangong Wan and the Third Elder.

Upon seeing Huo Yuhao appear, Nangong Wan and the Third Elder's expressions softened considerably.

Chen An hurriedly went to greet him.

"Distinguished guests, you've finally arrived." He dared not question Huo Yuhao's lateness.

She simply nodded slightly when her eyes met Huo Yuhao's, indicating that the deal they had agreed upon was ready and without any problems.

Huo Yuhao ignored Chen An and instead chuckled, "Why are you so angry? Can't we win the game without me?"

Upon hearing this, Nether Thunder Douluo's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

Huo Yuhao patted Number 96, Huang Zheng, on the shoulder casually: "Kid, follow me, and I guarantee you'll get second place, but give me half of the profits, you hear me?"

"Ah, ah, this."

Huang Zheng was taken aback by Huo Yuhao's words and was momentarily at a loss for words.

Immediately afterward, Huo Yuhao turned to look at another contestant, shook his head, and said, "You're too weak. I might not be able to help you. Forget it."

The contestant's face turned pale and then purple.

He quickly gestured for Nether Thunder Douluo to suppress his anger, and Nangong Wan, the leader of the Xishui Alliance, personally came forward to greet him: "Young friend Tiancan, you've finally arrived. It's good that you came in time. The glory of our Xishui Alliance depends entirely on you today."

Huo Yuhao tilted his head slightly, his eyes indifferent: "I regard the other contestants as mere chickens and dogs; the championship is within my grasp."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan immediately revealed a genuine smile: "Young friend, you left a deep impression on us after our last meeting. After this competition ends, we should get to know each other better."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "I have a dog-like face, so you'd better be prepared if you want to get intimate with me."

"Hahaha, young friend, you are indeed witty!"

How could Nangong Wan not understand Huo Yuhao's meaning? He was telling them to prepare the resources.

Flies don't land on eggs without cracks; since the other party has the potential to win them over, they can't let this opportunity pass them by.

Nangong Wan laughed heartily: "It's alright, it's alright, we'll talk about it after the competition. Good morning, could you tell Tiancan about today's final? Huang Zheng, you two should listen to it too."

"Yes, Alliance Leader."

After bowing respectfully to Nangong Wan, Chen An turned to Huo Yuhao.

"The rules for today's competition have been set. Each of the three parties will send three participants, and each person will be given three hours to make a soul tool. There are no restrictions on the materials used, but each person is only allowed to make one soul tool."

"Three hours later, the soul tools will be completed, and the nine people will compete in four rounds. The first round will be skills, and a mysterious question will be posed, the nature of which we do not yet know. The last person to pass the skills test will be eliminated, and the eight people will advance to the next round."

"The second round is the actual competition. The person with the highest skill score will face the person with the lowest score in the quarterfinals, and so on, to determine the top four."

"The top four will then be drawn into the semifinals, followed by the final. Regarding the creation of soul tools, the three of you must remember that you can only create and use one soul tool at a time; you absolutely cannot create more."

"In other aspects, the three of you are all experts and have your own decisions, so I will not presume to teach you. You can decide on the timing and tactics yourself."

"Young Master Tian, ​​your fighting spirit strength is beyond doubt, and I have heard of it. I am sure you will be victorious today."

In the end, Chen An even flattered Huo Yuhao.
