The silence in Mingdu lasted until noon. As time passed, the atmosphere in Mingdu became heated again because, in addition to the open competition, the final of the Mingdu Soul Mentor Elite Competition hosted by the three major underground forces in Mingdu will be held tonight. Green hotel. "Ye Liuyun hasn't come yet? Didn't you inform them of the time?" The third elder looked at Chen An in front of him majestically, his eyes had become a little grim. Chen An's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he hurriedly said, "I notified them. I notified them a long time ago. When the last semi-final ended, I told them to come early today to make final preparations." "If Ye Liuyun doesn't come, you will have to compensate for the losses of Xishui League with your life." The third elder said coldly. "Teacher, don't be angry. I believe he will be here soon. After all, the reward this time is so generous." No. 96 Huang Zheng said with a smile. He was still so calm, but No. 98, who was eliminated and standing next to him, had a gloomy expression on his face. In the mind of No. 98 Merck, there was only his Dark Green Dragon. "Third brother, don't make things difficult for Chen An. I also believe that the guy will come. After the finals, we will have a good talk with him." A deep voice sounded, and the tall leader of the Xishui League, Nangong Wan, also came to the hotel lobby. At this time, the Qingse Hotel was under martial law, and a large number of strong men in black occupied most of the lobby. In the center of the hall, in addition to Nangong Wan, the third elder, Merck, Huang Zheng, No. 44 and others, there were also some large boxes piled up. It goes without saying what was inside. Naturally, they were rare metals used for the competition. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door. Under the guidance of two men in black, a figure appeared in the sight of Nangong Wan and the third elder. Ye Qian'an, who had transformed into Ye Liuyun, still had a stern expression on his face.

Seeing Ye Liuyun appear, Nangong Wan and the third elder's expressions looked much better, and Chen An hurriedly walked up to him. "Distinguished guest, you are finally here." Chen An didn't dare to question Ye Qian'an for being late. Ye Qi'an nodded slightly and said, "I shouldn't be late, right?" The leader of Xishui League, Nangong Wan, came forward to greet him personally and said, "You are finally here. It is good that you arrived on time. Today, the glory of our Xishui League depends on you, little friend Ye, to defend it." Ye Qi'an said coldly: "I'll do my best." Nangong Wan looked at Ye Qian'an with great interest and said, "Friend Ye, you left a deep impression on us the last time we met. After this competition is over, we must get closer and closer." Ye Qian waved his hand and said, "Let's talk after the game." Nangong Wan laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, let's talk about it after the game. Good morning, tell Ye Xiaoyou about today's final." "Yes, leader." Chen An first bowed respectfully to Nangong Wan, then turned to Ye Qian and said, "Today is the final of the Mingdu Soul Mentor Elite Competition. The final will be jointly hosted by our Xishui League, Pingfan League, and Aodu Chamber of Commerce. The venue will be in the western suburbs. We have already made arrangements there..." After listening to Chen An's introduction, Ye Qian just nodded slightly. After Chen An finished his introduction, Nangong Wan's face became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Three of you, you are participating in the competition on behalf of our Xishui League this time. We are very confident in your strength, but you must be prepared to fight against the other two at the same time. No matter who among you wins the final championship, our Xishui League will give you a reward. I believe that Pingfan League and Aodu Chamber of Commerce can never afford this reward. Moreover, it will be paid on the spot. Come on, bring the things up." As he spoke, Nangong Wan waved his right hand, and immediately four men in black came over carrying a box. The box was carried in front of the three people and put down. Nangong Wan walked to the box himself, raised his right hand, and pressed lightly on the side of the box. Suddenly, a small screen popped up. On the screen, there were many complicated runes. Nangong Wan put his palm on the screen. At the same time, five fingers moved rhythmically, and the tapping lasted for about twenty seconds before Nangong Wan raised his hand again. The screen retracted, and with a slight sound, the top of the box slowly cracked from the center. The third elder beside Nangong Wan raised his hand, and a semicircular shield covered everyone, including himself and the eliminated No. 98 Merck. An indescribable murderous aura of war and battle emanated from the box almost the moment it was opened. In an instant, except for the Third Elder and Nangong Wan, who seemed to be fine, No. 44, Huang Zheng, and Merck all turned pale, with intense horror in their eyes. Ye Qian'an just glanced at it indifferently and then passed away. To be honest, even if the ninth-level soul guide device hit him directly, it would not cause much waves. However, if it was used on an ordinary soul master or even an ordinary person, it would undoubtedly be a fatal blow. Merck swallowed and murmured, "This, this is..." Huang Zheng could no longer remain calm and said in a lost voice: "Level nine, fixed-type soul guide shells." "I guess you have all figured it out, right? That's right, this is a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell, and its name is Storm of Destruction. The specific effects and methods of use will have to wait until one of you is capable of winning the final championship before you can learn from me. What I can guarantee is that as long as you win today's game, we will pay this huge reward on the spot. So, you have to work hard." As he spoke, Nangong Wan waved his sleeves, and the box closed again, covering up the crazy murderous aura inside.

Except for Ye Qian'an, the breathing of the other three people became smoother. However, the look Merck gave Ye Qian'an was full of resentment. "Young man, come on." Nangong Wan said with a smile. "Let's go!" With a wave of Nangong Wan's hand, he and the third elder walked in front, Ye Qian'an and the other four followed behind, surrounded by the big men in black. Naturally, these people could not carry the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell. Instead, the third elder directly put it into the storage soul guide device, left the Qingse Hotel, and headed straight for the western suburbs. Outside the hotel, carriages were already prepared. They were all gorgeous carriages pulled by horned horses. Ye Qian'an, No. 44, and Huang Zheng, the three contestants, rode in one carriage, while Nangong Wan, the third elder, and Merck rode in another. The remaining men in black put the various rare metals they carried on other simpler carriages and also got on the horses. A group of more than a hundred people headed towards the western suburbs. Ye Qian'an kept his eyes closed and didn't make any noise. No. 44 naturally didn't say a word beside him. Huang Zheng looked at the two of them and didn't say anything either. Compared to the other carriage, their side was much quieter. The shock absorption and sound insulation of the carriage were very good, and no sound could be heard. The luxurious carriage of Xishui League finally stopped, and Ye Qian'an seemed to wake up in time. "We're here." A voice came from outside. Huang Zheng got off the car first, followed by No. 44, and Ye Qian was the last one. Chen An had already jumped off his horse, walked over quickly, and introduced in a low voice: "Today, almost all the top leaders of our three major underground forces have arrived. The three parties attach great importance to this game and have sent out their strongest lineups. Those wearing white clothes are from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. Those wearing yellow clothes represent the Ordinary Alliance. In addition to our three parties, the most prestigious families in Mingdu and a group of high-ranking gamblers will also personally participate in this final. According to the requirements, the number of people in our three parties must not exceed one thousand. The rest are these spectators. Everything will be conducted on the principle of fairness, so the three of you can rest assured." Under the guidance of Chen An and the protection of a group of strong men in black from the Xishui League, the three of them walked inside. Ye Qian'an and the others were taken to the rest area on the Xishui League side, and Nangong Wan and the third elder also sat in. At this time, the atmosphere was a bit noisy. Before the game started, there was no one to warm up the venue. Those sitting in the audience and guest seats were talking. At this time, the three parties seemed to have arrived. Someone came over to ask Nangong Wan a few questions. After getting confirmation, soon all the lights focused on the competition stage, and there was one more person on the competition stage. "Hello everyone, I am Lu Qi, the host of the finals of this competition. Today is the finals of our Mingdu Soul Mentor Elite Competition. The nine contestants were selected by Pingfan League, Aodu Chamber of Commerce and Xishui League. I believe that the audience is already familiar with the information of these nine contestants, so I will not go into details one by one. Now, please invite the three presidents of the organizers of this competition - Pingfan League, Aodu Chamber of Commerce and Xishui League to come on stage and give speeches." Under the stage, in the rest area of ​​Xishui League. Nangong Wan muttered to himself with a gloomy face: "You don't know whether to live or die." As he said that, he jumped up and walked towards the stage. The third elder sneered and said, "This little guy from the Ordinary Alliance is really courting death by playing this ranking trick. Does he really think that the Ordinary Alliance can protect him?" Nangong Wan did not show his cultivation, but walked up the stairs step by step to the stage. In the other two directions, one person also went up to the stage. On the side of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, there was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a purple cloak, with a dignified appearance and the faint aura of a superior. Compared with the man from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, the one from the Ordinary Alliance who came on stage was even more eye-catching. She was a woman in a bright red long skirt. She looked extremely beautiful from a distance, with long chestnut hair tied up high into a bun. As soon as she came on stage, I don't know how many people would be thirsty and stare at her. The host, Lu Qi, stood aside with a smile on his face, and led the leaders of the three major underground forces to the center of the competition stage. "Next, please invite the three presidents to give speeches for this competition. First, we would like to invite Mr. Nangong Wan, the leader of Xishui League, to give a speech." Although Nangong Wan had murderous intentions towards him, he naturally would not show it on the spot, and said calmly: "This competition is jointly hosted by our three parties. So far, it has contributed a good result to the imperial gaming industry. In today's final, our Xishui League is determined to win, and I also believe that our players have the ability to do so. The champion will definitely belong to the Xishui League. Friends who have not yet placed a bet, you may wish to give it more thought." After saying this, he took a step back to indicate that he was done. The second person to speak was An Litong, the president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. Glancing at Nangong Wan, An Litong said with a wry smile, "It seems that Alliance Leader Nangong is very confident! However, I don't think so. The people who represent our Aodu Chamber of Commerce in this competition are all the best of the younger generation of soul masters. I have absolute confidence in them. I'm here to make a statement. On behalf of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, I'm betting 100 million gold soul coins on them. As long as one of them can win this game, the profits from the 100 million gold soul coins will all belong to him." When these words were spoken, countless people gasped. At this moment, Shangguan Weier, the beautiful leader of the Ordinary League, whose age was unknown, chuckled, stepped forward and said, "You two are full of confidence! I can't fall behind, right? We in the Ordinary League are not as wealthy as the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. We don't have 100 million gold soul coins, and we are reluctant to spend them if we did. But we in the Ordinary League have plenty of beauties. If the soul master on our side wins the final championship, he will be able to choose from tens of thousands of beauties in my Ordinary League. At the same time, I can also let three dragon girls with ancient bloodlines be his female slaves." The three major underground forces made their moves one after another. Undoubtedly, the limelight was completely snatched away by the last leader of the Ordinary Alliance, Shangguan Weier. Nangong Wan's face was livid, but at this time, he obviously would not stand up and say it again, and he could not mention the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells awarded by the Xishui Alliance. Nangong Wan returned to the rest area with a sullen face, turned his head and looked at Ye Qian, and said: "When you finally take action, kill as many of their people as possible. You can use whatever abilities you want. If anything goes wrong, we will be responsible. Young man, work hard, after this competition, you will definitely have endless benefits. I will get you the dragon girl that Shangguan Weier mentioned." "Then just kill them all." Ye Qian'an said in a flat voice. When Nangong Wan heard Ye Qian'an's cold words, he was stunned at first, and then he laughed, "Good! You are courageous! You are worthy of being the person I have chosen." The third elder also nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. The host then introduced the seven referees. All seven referees were high-level soul masters, including three level nine soul masters, and the remaining four were all level eight. As soon as these seven people came on stage, they were immediately full of momentum. Their speeches were obviously not so explosive, and they were more based on the fairness of the competition. They also said some meaningless words to motivate the nine contestants.

On this wide competition stage, there are nine soul guide production tables. Compared with the production tables used in previous competitions, the nine tables in front of them are twice as large in size. At this time, the staff of the three major underground forces are placing the production instruments and rare metals they brought. The competition has not yet begun, but the contest between the three parties has already begun. "Okay, the exciting moment is coming. Next, we will take out the final championship prize of this competition, which will be kept by the seven judges. This prize is prepared for our final champion. Please ask the chief judge of this competition, Master Ye Yulin, the ninth-level soul mentor and Titled Douluo with the title of Starry Sky, to bring out this final prize for us." A tall old man sitting in the center of the seven referees stood up and raised his right hand. A silver light shot up into the sky. It seemed to be just a silver spark, but as it rose into the air, its size quickly grew. When it was suspended a hundred meters in the air, it had turned into a dazzling silver light ball. The silver light ball in the sky had stabilized at this time. Then, a silver beam of light fell from the sky and landed in front of Ye Yulin. The ninth-level soul engineer did not say anything. He made a lifting motion with his hands, and suddenly, another light golden ball of light appeared in the silver light. The diameter of this ball of light was one meter. As it rose slowly, it gradually rose, shining with the silver light in the sky, and did not stop until it flew next to the silver light. The two light balls echoed each other in the sky and began to rotate around an unknown center, interweaving into a larger golden and silver light ball in the air. There was no power or strong aura emanating from them, but when they began to circle in the air, the soul masters present, those with cultivation levels above level eight and who were familiar with Starry Sky Douluo, couldn't help but gasp. "Dear Master Ye Yulin, could you please introduce this prize to us?" Facing Ye Yulin, the host Lu Qi looked very respectful. Ye Yulin raised his head and glanced at the spinning golden and silver light ball with some reluctance, and said in a deep voice: "The final prize for the championship this time is a soul guide device I made. I named it the Sun and Moon Divine Needle..." "It's quite interesting." Ye Qian said in a calm voice. The Third Elder snorted coldly and said, "Don't listen to what old man Ye Yulin said. His Sun and Moon Needle is good, but it takes three days to charge it, and it can only be charged by the light of the sun and the moon. The attack power is not weak, but after charging, it can only attack three times. Moreover, each use consumes a huge amount of soul power. Even if I use it, after three times, my soul power will be consumed by nearly half, and my mental power is even worse. It's hard to complete a precise attack. His range of 30 kilometers in diameter only exists in theory. However, it is real to levitate at an altitude of 1,600 meters." Nangong Wan chuckled and said, "Third brother, don't be so stubborn. You are indeed not as good as Ye Yulin in terms of high-altitude soul guides. This guy came here on behalf of the royal family. What's the point of competing with him? Although the Sun and Moon Divine Needle is difficult to use, its power is top-notch among the ninth-level soul guides. There are only benefits and no harm in obtaining it. However, no matter who gets it, it is better not to use it before your cultivation is improved to the ninth ring. Otherwise, if you are not careful, it will cause backlash. According to Ye Yulin, there is a self-destruct device in his soul guide. You must not try to dismantle it." "It doesn't matter. There is no soul guide device that I can't dismantle." Ye Qian'an said while shaking his head slightly. The introduction of the prizes undoubtedly caused another round of exclamations. At this time, the competition was finally about to begin. "Next, please invite the nine finalists of the Mingdu Soul Guide Elite Competition to the stage. In the first round of today's competition, you will have three hours to make a soul guide. The entire production process will be supervised by our seven referees. Any contestant who attempts to break the rules and undermine fairness will be immediately expelled from the competition. Please proceed with caution." Lucci's expression turned serious. He stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation. The three contestants left the rest area and went onto the competition stage accompanied by the leaders of the three major underground forces. Nangong Wan walked in front and was the first to step onto the competition stage. His eyes were full of majesty and he glanced at Lucci coldly. Lucci felt his mind confused and his brain seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer. He was horrified and subconsciously took a step back. After a brief verbal exchange, the three leaders all stepped aside. Apart from observing the contestants brought by the other side, they did not make any extra moves. Ye Yulin, the chief referee, waved his hand and said, "All three presidents, please go down. All contestants, please take your positions and prepare for the competition." Nangong Wan, Shangguan Wei'er and An Litong looked at each other, then turned and left with a sneer. Ye Qian'an quickly came to a soul guide production table. Ye Yulin put his hands behind his back, his old face was very stern. He didn't even speak politely to the three presidents of the three major underground forces, let alone the contestants. At this moment, his cold eyes swept across the faces of the nine contestants, and there was a faint aura of oppression sweeping across the whole place. "You will have three hours to make soul guides. Each person can only make one soul guide. You can use any materials, but you must not use any semi-finished products that have been made in advance. Once discovered, you will be eliminated immediately. At the same time, I must remind you that after three hours, you will not have any rest time. You will go directly to the skill assessment. The last place will be eliminated. The ranking will also be related to your subsequent quarterfinals. Therefore, when making soul guides, you must retain a certain amount of energy to avoid overdrawing your energy and being unable to cope with the subsequent skill assessment. The skill assessment is very difficult." ………(End of chapter)
