"Oh my, my lovely subject, this Queen is coming—"
The hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider licked her scarlet lips, looking at the ninety-thousand-year male spider simulated by Huo Yuhao with full covetousness.
Moreover, the Spider Queen's human upper body was extremely charming. Her exquisite figure was enough to make countless human males crazy. Just relying on the deceptiveness of her upper body, she was enough to lure and kill most male soul masters stepping into Star Dou.
"So explosive?" Huo Yuhao stared at those two ferocious things with wide eyes, couldn't help sighing about the beauty of the world.
Of course, the hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider in front of him hadn't transformed into a human, but just transformed into a human upper body, still vastly different from real humans.
Seeing the Man-Faced Demon Spider simulated by Huo Yuhao motionless, the Spider Queen swayed her weapons even more proudly and "crawled" towards him gracefully.
"Really cute, actually dare not move at all, hehehe!"
Seeing the Spider Queen approach Huo Yuhao, even Bibi Dong, who had full confidence in him, couldn't help worrying at this time.
This kid, won't be bewitched and lose his mind, right?
Rumble...
However, in the next moment, the Spider Queen saw a circle of purple soul ring emerging under the ninety-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider in front of her. Accurately speaking, it was purple-gold.
Countless vines rose from the ground, sealing all directions around the Spider Queen.
Not good! The Spider Queen's vigilance was originally very high. She leaped immediately, trying to escape the opponent's control range.
"From the moment you appeared, you were doomed, Man-Faced Demon Spider King." Huo Yuhao simply removed all disguise. The fourth soul ring flashed suddenly.
A huge arrow of thunder descended from the sky, crashing down accurately from above the Spider Queen—
"Ahhhhhhh..."
Screams instantly resounded throughout the area—
...
Mingdu, underground of Green unripe Hotel.
Gao Dalou also made a kind of soul guide cannon. After all, today's competition required confrontation. Attack-type soul tools were obviously most useful. Otherwise, comparing defensive soul tools would just be comparing the strength of soul power.
"Level 4 Concussion Cannon, with explosive effect attached. Very good Level 4 soul tool." The three referees evaluated after seeing Gao Dalou's soul guide cannon.
Then they turned to look at the soul guide cannon handed over by Xiao Hongchen.
"Cough cough, little friend, what is the function of this soul guide cannon of yours? Although very beautiful, this structure is really a bit special!" A referee exclaimed in surprise immediately.
Xiao Hongchen said with a smile: "This is also a Level 4 soul tool, considered a type of long-range soul guide cannon, only I used some special techniques to make it."
After the three referees whispered for a while, the chief referee looked at the two and said: "You both made Level 4 attack-type soul guide cannons. It's difficult to judge which is better. Suggest you conduct a confrontation to finally evaluate the winner. After all, for soul engineers, combat and using soul tools are equally important."
"Okay." Gao Dalou agreed readily.
For him, although the attraction of rare metals was great, Xiao Hongchen's unheard-of soul tool production method also had fatal attraction. Under this circumstance, of course, he was most willing to try the power of Xiao Hongchen's soul guide cannon head-on.
The chief referee looked at the eager two and said in a deep voice: "I'll explain the competition rules. When you fight each other, you can only use this soul tool just completed. Soul power can also be used freely. But no soul skills and other soul tools are allowed. Once using other soul tools for defense, it means losing the confrontation. Of course, life is only once. Victory is important, but keeping your life is equally important."
"Understood." Gao Dalou agreed.
The chief referee looked at the confident Xiao Hongchen, obviously having something more in his eyes.
Xiao Hongchen looked at him calmly and said: "I also understood."
"Good! Someone, send them into the confrontation area." Staff members immediately came over, guiding the two to the two ends of the confrontation area.
"Brother Chen, the soul tool made by that young man in the wheelchair just now was very unusual! Did you see anything?" The referee sitting on the left among the three asked in a low voice.
The chief referee said in a deep voice: "Can't understand, but he should have integrated some complex primitive gunpowder loading production methods into his own soul tool production, coordinating with the core array. Although there is an ejection array as coordination, there is no charging array. Otherwise, a core array of this level serving as a Level 5 soul tool would be no problem."
The referee on the right said: "Let's see their confrontation first. That Gao Dalou is not simple either. He has a Ranked Carving Knife. It's hard to say who wins and who loses."
The chief referee smiled slightly and said: "It seems that in our competition area, there are quite a few excellent talents."
"Mmhmm, after this competition ends, we should ask for instructions from above to see if we can pull some people in. These two are both good. We'll find a chance to investigate their backgrounds later."
Xiao Hongchen and Gao Dalou entered the long and narrow confrontation area. The emotions of the audience outside the competition stage instantly became excited.
This scene was seen by Meng Hongchen, but she didn't stop it. In Huo Yuhao's reminder, this sloppy contestant seemed to be a potential stock he fancied.
Although many soul engineers had handed in works before, most had outcomes determined by referees. Xiao Hongchen and Gao Dalou, this was the first confrontation battle today.
Although soul tool production could be called a visual feast for these gamblers, it couldn't be compared with combat no matter what. This was why the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition was so popular.
For a time, the originally quiet golden hall instantly became noisy. Especially some VIP customers who bet on Gao Dalou and Xiao Hongchen couldn't help shouting loudly.
"Brother Gao, my surname is Chen. No matter the outcome today, very happy to meet you." Xiao Hongchen smiled at Gao Dalou and said his fake name specially used for participating in the Mingdu Soul Engineer Elite Competition.
"Brother Chen, I'm very curious about your soul tool. After the competition ends, if there is a chance, I'll treat you to a drink. How about we chat?" Gao Dalou said with an excited face.
"Okay!" Xiao Hongchen responded with a hearty smile.
The chief referee had also entered the confrontation area at this time, only his position was on a platform diagonally above the confrontation area. This was an underground black market competition, without so many rules. Death and injury need not be mentioned, extremely normal.
The referee just came to judge victory and defeat, and wouldn't stop death and injury from happening.
"Are you both ready?" The chief referee asked again in a deep voice. The two present were talents fancied by the above, absolutely no accidents could happen in the confrontation.
"Ready." Gao Dalou replied loudly. Xiao Hongchen opposite also nodded immediately.
"Confrontation begins, winner advances."
With a loud shout from the chief referee, Gao Dalou and Xiao Hongchen raised their hands at the same time.
The soul guide cannon in Gao Dalou's hand appeared faintly silver-white. That was made of rare metal Star Moon Silver. Soft light quickly emerged on the surface of the soul guide cannon.
What is the best way to verify if a soul master uses soul skills? It is to see if he releases his martial soul.
Soul power is not restricted by the martial soul. Without releasing the martial soul, soul power can be used just the same. Therefore, Gao Dalou didn't release his martial soul at all.
The soul guide cannon in Xiao Hongchen's hand was the same. A layer of pale golden light mixed with scorching aura began to gather gradually in the soul guide cannon in his hand.
The noisy sound in the golden hall just now immediately returned to calm. Pairs of eyes stared firmly at the two in the field. This direct contest of soul tools might decide the outcome in one or two attacks.
The charging time of the soul guide cannon in Gao Dalou's hand was very short. A bright white light ball carrying little silver brilliance whistled out, shooting straight towards Xiao Hongchen.
Concussion Shell attached with explosive effect. The referee had reminded before.
The size of that shell was fully one foot in diameter. Choosing the central position again, and locked onto Xiao Hongchen's position.
In everyone's view, Xiao Hongchen's only coping method was to release the attack power of his own soul tool, let the attack power of the two collide in the center, and then unfold a full contest.
So he moved. He pressed the lower half of his face against that soul guide cannon. The long cannon barrel instantly burst out golden light. The right hand holding the buttstock pulled the trigger.
This peculiarly shaped dark long-barreled soul guide cannon was naturally a masterpiece brought by Huo Yuhao from the original world, given the name Changfeng.
Huo Yuhao in his previous life was certainly not versatile enough to dissect firearms, and soul power was an existence that could replace bullets. The core array was designed with Kong Deming's help. Although the firing rate of this soul guide cannon was very slow, the instantly erupted power was comparable to top-notch Level 5 soul tools.
"Boom—" Scorching air current exploded instantly. In the blink of an eye, it swallowed the tunnel more than twenty meters long.
Gao Dalou was horrified and retreated quickly, trying hard to gather soul power to resist this high-explosive aftermath. But even so, he was still blown backwards, sticking to the soul guide shield not far behind.
This, this is a Level 4 soul tool? You know, the Concussion Shell itself has a certain defensive function. The strong shock wave can dissolve various offensives to a great extent. It can be said to integrate offense and defense, so Gao Dalou chose to make a Concussion Cannon.
However, the power of the opponent's soul guide cannon was too great, and definitely reached the power of a Level 5 soul guide cannon.
On the other side, Xiao Hongchen also fell into shock.
Gao Dalou's Concussion Shell exploded in front of him. To him, that little residual shock wave was nothing at all, only pushing his body backward. With absolute soul power protection, Xiao Hongchen asked himself he shouldn't be affected at all.
However, when that shock wave truly fell on his body, he immediately felt something wrong. An indescribable feeling spread throughout his body instantly. Xiao Hongchen felt his heart seemed to stop beating in an instant. Everything around also slowed down. Breathing also stopped at this instant.
That uncomfortable feeling was as if he instantly became a corpse.
Fortunately, this pain only lasted for a second, and he returned to normal.
Xiao Hongchen's mind turned quickly, and that simple and unadorned dark carving knife instantly appeared in his mind.
Affected here, plus the firing rate of the soul guide cannon, Xiao Hongchen naturally missed the best time to pursue Gao Dalou. The power of the high-explosive shell over there also ended. Although Gao Dalou was somewhat dusty-faced, he wasn't injured after all.
At this moment, both looked at each other with eyes full of shock.
"You, that is a Level 5 soul tool?" Gao Dalou said with a shocked face, as if forgetting that the two were in a competition state.
Xiao Hongchen shook his head and said: "Level 4. Level 5 attack-type soul tools cannot be supported by one core array. Even if I can make it, time won't allow."
"But..."
Seeing the goal achieved, Xiao Hongchen said lightly: "After the competition ends, let's chat privately."
"Okay." Gao Dalou agreed readily. With a shake of his hand, the Concussion Soul Guide Cannon in his hand fired again.
Being shocked by Xiao Hongchen's soul tool didn't mean he planned to surrender. That was a lot of rare metals!
Xiao Hongchen smiled slightly. Raising his right hand, the soul guide cannon in his hand also fired, bombarding towards the Concussion Shell. With his attainments in soul tools, locking onto the opponent's soul guide shell was too easy. There was no possibility of failure at all.
Shells of both sides came out of the bore at the same time, and exploded almost in the central area of the distance between each other. Instantly, intense fire light blocked the sight of both at the same time. Terrifying shock force and energy fluctuations rushed and scattered in the tunnel, impacting both of them simultaneously.
This time, Xiao Hongchen didn't hide anymore. This compressed soul power released fully nearly thirty percent of his soul power.
"Boom—" Amidst the violent roar, strong shock instantly swallowed Gao Dalou's body. His whole person fell completely into paralysis. The terrifying explosive force shook him into dizziness, completely sticking to one end of the protective shield. Blood in his body stagnated instantly. Uncomfortably wanting to vomit blood, but just couldn't vomit it out.
Xiao Hongchen smiled, looking at Gao Dalou slowly sliding to the ground, turned to the referee and said: "Can judge the outcome now, right? If I fire another shot, he will be dead."
"You... your soul guide cannon can also adjust power significantly according to soul power consumption?" Even with the referee's wide knowledge, he was surprised by the Changfeng Soul Guide Cannon in his hand.
Xiao Hongchen smiled without speaking. The referee also tactfully didn't ask more. After all, every soul engineer had their own secrets.
Xiao Hongchen slowly came to Gao Dalou and smiled: "Brother Gao, are you okay?"
Affected by the explosion aftermath, Gao Dalou was still trembling all over now. With great difficulty, he barely supported himself to stand up, "The power of your soul guide cannon is too terrifying. Even counting it as a Level 5 soul tool is not exaggerated at all!"
Xiao Hongchen chuckled and said: "Overpraised. Let's go."
Until leaving the confrontation area, Gao Dalou still felt dizzy, not even noticing Meng Hongchen and Nana coming up to welcome them.
After letting Nana collect the reward for winning this round, Xiao Hongchen turned to look at Gao Dalou and said: "Brother Gao, how about we find a place to sit?"
