Everyone was a soul engineer and had certain abilities to identify soul tools. Xiao Hongchen just showed the core array of Hongchen's Blessing to him for a glance, then injected a little soul power into it, released a trace of Hongchen's Blessing's aura, and put it away again.
Number 98's eyes became dull almost instantly. Could that be...
Micro core array?
Soul tools were not better the bigger they were, especially for core arrays. Smaller soul tools were more portable.
And for the same core array, making it by micro-carving was ten times more difficult than normal making. Generally speaking, only soul engineers above Level 7 would try to make them.
Although Number 98 just glanced at it, he found that there were at least five micro core arrays exposed on Hongchen's Blessing. Each one looked extremely complicated, definitely not an experimental product.
This meant that the thing in Xiao Hongchen's hand was at least a soul tool above Level 8!
And the aura in it was so strong. Just the value of those micro core arrays inside was immeasurable.
At the same time, every high-level soul engineer had their own unique way when making core arrays. If he could learn some...
Number 98 never expected that Huo Yuhao Xiao Hongchen would actually take out such a precious thing to bet with him.
Only, his own Ranked Carving Knife was not lower in value than this soul tool above Level 8.
Greed began to surge in Number 98's heart. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the opponent.
Although Number 98 was a bit arrogant, he was definitely not stupid. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to cultivate as a soul engineer to this extent before the age of thirty.
After careful consideration, he still planned to refuse this bet. Although this would make him lose momentum, it was better than really losing the Ranked Carving Knife he cherished more than his life.
But just at this time, he suddenly noticed a detail—
At Xiao Hongchen's temple, a drop of cold sweat was sliding down slowly.
Soul engineers all had a commonality, that was good eyesight. Otherwise, how could they make delicate soul tools?
Seeing his sliding cold sweat, Number 98's heart moved again. Could it be that this guy is not confident in winning against me at all, but just wants to rely on this bet to overwhelm me in momentum first?
Thinking of this possibility, Number 98 couldn't help observing Xiao Hongchen carefully.
He observed that deep in Xiao Hongchen's seemingly calm eyes, the gaze also flickered a bit, and the gaze looking at him was somewhat chaotic.
Although not obvious, Number 98 still noticed it.
"Okay, I'll bet with you." A confident smile appeared on Number 98's face.
Xiao Hongchen seemed stunned for a moment, "You really want to bet with me? I just lack a Ranked Carving Knife! Thank you so much!"
Number 98 looked at him with playful eyes and said: "Are you really confident that you can win against me? I don't think so, right? Kid, since you want to seek death, then I will fulfill your wish today!"
Xiao Hongchen pretended to say coldly: "Bet then! If you have the ability, make the bet public and let the Sunset Water Alliance testify for us! Otherwise, what if you lose and renege?"
The thought already confirmed in his heart plus greed at work made Number 98 feel that Xiao Hongchen looked fierce but was weak inside no matter how he looked.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Number 98's mouth, "Okay, then let the Sunset Water Alliance witness how you lose that soul tool to me! You, come here." He reached out and greeted the emcee on the stage not far away.
The same thing happened on Meng Hongchen's side. Although Soul Engineer Number 96 had a cautious personality, he couldn't stand the girl's difficulty. In a fit of anger, he chose to bet with her.
Seeing the fish finally take the bait, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen looked at each other from a distance, both revealing an imperceptible smile tacitly...

On the other side, when the Earth Dragon Gate crowd arrived at the competition venue, the Sun Moon Team and their opponent this time, the Mingdu Soul Engineer Academy battle team, were already warming up.
Being in the upper half, the Earth Dragon Gate would undoubtedly appear first, followed by the Sun Moon Team.
The reason was simple. In the battle with the Tang Sect, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy representative team was pierced by Tang Wutong alone.
However, they also succeeded in injuring Tang Wutong slightly after paying the lives of three team members.
Perhaps because the four matches today were all highlights, the Tang Sect finally got good news, that is, Xu Sanshi's injury recovered.
The morning sun had risen. The weather was very good today. The bright sunshine shone on the earth, bringing a warm feeling to everyone.
The weather in Mingdu recently was very chilly, but today's sunshine easily brought people a good mood.
Die Qiu stood quietly outside the VIP rest area, looking at the repaired competition stage ahead, not knowing what she was thinking. Sunshine sprinkled on her pink tied hair, rendering a layer of faint rose gold light on her.
At this time, she was like a proud winter plum, standing proudly here, seemingly incompatible with everything.
The reason why her mood was complicated was naturally because the perception of Huo Yuhao's luck failed.
Huo Yuhao must be experiencing something at this time, but she couldn't be by his side to give help.
Everyone entered the rest area. Zhang Lexuan, following behind Die Qiu, suddenly walked towards the latter.
Zhang Lexuan walked to Die Qiu's side. The same sunshine fell on her long straight black hair, reflecting stronger light, but lacking that touch of blurriness when reflecting sunshine on Die Qiu's pink long hair.
The two girls standing there were a beautiful picture in themselves.
Sensing Zhang Lexuan coming to her side, Die Qiu turned her head and glanced at her.
"Are you thinking about that guy Huo Yuhao?" A thoughtful expression appeared on Zhang Lexuan's face, then she asked.
Die Qiu withdrew her gaze, "Isn't Sister Lexuan thinking about Yuhao?"
Hearing her words, Zhang Lexuan was slightly stunned, then showed a bitter smile, "You should understand. Once we women pour all our thoughts on a certain man, it's difficult to change our affection."
"But family hatred occupies more part of my heart. Wait until Huo Yuhao's plan is completed, maybe I will..."
As she spoke, Zhang Lexuan lowered her head slightly. The only belief supporting her to live now was to see the Tang Sect fall heavily from the highest point.
Because of the advanced soul tool technology of the Sun Moon Empire, on the day of the competition finals, it would definitely attract people from the whole continent to watch. At that time, everything they did would come in handy one by one.
At this time, people from various battle teams had basically arrived, even people from the Tang Sect were no exception. Their reserve team members were still so mysterious, all shrouded in black clothes. Xu Sanshi and Tang Wutong sat at the very front, showing their extremely high status in this battle team.
People from the Body Sect also came early. Weina and Mu Xue sat at the very front, whispering something. Behind them were the team members of the Body Sect battle team, looking energetic one by one, also looking towards the Earth Dragon Gate from time to time.
Inside the entire rest area, although there were far fewer people than before, the atmosphere was quite tense.
Especially those teams that were about to decide victory and defeat today, the aura between each other already had a bit of tit-for-tat flavor.
Unbroken Douluo Zheng Zhan continued to serve as the chief referee. Since he joined the competition, the casualty rate had been greatly reduced. Almost all important matches were refereed by him. Today was naturally no exception.
"Quarter-final first match, Earth Dragon Gate versus Mingdu Soul Engineer Academy battle team. Members of both sides enter the waiting area. First individual elimination match member on stage."
Entering the waiting area, when Die Qiu jumped onto the competition stage first, the expressions of the Mingdu Soul Engineer Academy team members opposite were obviously somewhat ugly.
No one wanted to face this Golden Dragon Girl with incomparable power! Holding Gungnir in hand, suitable for both far and near range, truly difficult to contend with.
Of course, currently, many people already thought that the one with the strongest personal strength among all contestants in this competition was still Tang Wutong.
Die Qiu was certainly dazzling and highly praised, but the gap between a Soul Emperor and a Soul Douluo was really too big.
A young man leaped up from the Mingdu Soul Engineer Academy side and landed directly on the competition stage.
This young man was handsome and slender, quite elegant. His eyes were full of confidence as he strode towards Die Qiu in the center of the competition stage.
Die Qiu's strong performance, plus her peerless beauty, and the act of saving the opponent when facing the Bright Jade Sect, really attracted many people.
Some soul masters and soul engineers who thought they were qualified to pursue her had long been eager to try. This Lu Jun was naturally no exception.
After announcing names, both sides retreated to the edge of the competition stage, confronting each other. At this time, Lu Jun withdrew his previous smile, his expression became serious, staring at the opponent with sharp eyes.
Getting close was getting close. Being one of the top eight, as one of the core members of the team, Lu Jun naturally wouldn't be careless at all.
"Both sides prepare." Looking at both sides, Unbroken Douluo shouted in a deep voice.
"Match begins!"
With a loud shout from the referee, Die Qiu moved instantly. Stepping hard on the ground with her left foot, her whole person rushed towards Lu Jun a hundred meters away like an arrow. Everyone had witnessed her explosive power. Under her full sprint, a hundred meters distance was just a matter of an instant...

"Yuhao!"
A familiar choking sound came from his ear. Huo Yuhao's pupils gradually regained focus, and he noticed the peculiar posture of the two.
"Your Majesty?"
"How are you? Are you okay?" Bibi Dong cupped his face, seeming to confirm his condition. For a time, the two looked at each other, breaths audible.
This time it was actually Bibi Dong who took the initiative to lean forward.
Without any defense, Little Huo took the opportunity to go deep into the spider cave.
Huo Yuhao never expected that the two would communicate deeply under such circumstances. But since what was done is done, he didn't think of retreating either.
In a sense, although Bibi Dong had experience, she was forced back then. Now her movements were inevitably somewhat clumsy.
"Bad guy." Bibi Dong leaned on his shoulder, opened her red lips slightly, and then bit down.
"Your Majesty, you are so beautiful." Huo Yuhao hugged that snow-white delicate body tightly into his arms, almost greedily sucking the unique fragrance of the girl.
After a long time, the two lay together in the space constructed by the two great deity inheritances.
Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered something. He took a wisp of Bibi Dong's blood from the Guanyin Tear on Little Huo's flying knife and put it into a jade bottle.
Not that he had a special collection hobby, but Qian Renxue's body functions relied on this blood to revitalize.
Looking at the two god positions merging above, Huo Yuhao instantly had doubts in his heart. Could the shattered Angel God position and Rakshasa God position really merge with each other?
Seeming to guess his thoughts, Bibi Dong held his hand: "Angel and Rakshasa can be understood as the opposition of light and darkness. Do you remember King Lucifer? I believe that after these two originally opposing godheads combine complementarily, a god position not inferior to the five God Kings of the Divine Realm will definitely be born."
Huo Yuhao shook his head. If defining this scene only as the combination of light and darkness, the understanding of Fallen Angel Demon God Lucifer was too superficial.
The combination of the two god positions seemed to take a lot of time. Just like in history, the Angel God position was completely shattered, and the Rakshasa God position lost complete inheritance due to the death of the Rakshasa God. In terms of defects, the two happened to complement each other.
Up to now, Huo Yuhao still didn't know what kind of existence Lucifer was at his strongest. If he remembered correctly, before the disaster came, the glorious Eden Kingdom had reached the level where quasi-gods were everywhere.
Inferring from this, the God of Love in her lifetime was at least a top-notch First-Class Deity, and as the guardian of the kingdom, the strength of Sun God Apollo was naturally higher.
"The two merging god positions cannot be transferred. Can only leave them here first." Huo Yuhao tried to stuff the two merging ones into the Dragon Realm, but failed.
"Inside the body, for example, in the dantian, doesn't work either?" Bibi Dong also tried once. After all, she was once the Rakshasa God. However, the merging two sides didn't accept her control at all.
"Yuhao, try incorporating them into your spiritual sea." Electrolux suggested.
"I have carefully felt your world. Your world is different from mine. In my world, the existence of deities is equivalent to a sublimation after elevating one's soul to an extremely high level, only existing illusorily in space, just like transforming into countless elements, no longer able to control everything of oneself. And in your world, there seems to be a special power in the dark, capable of elevating and going to the so-called Divine Realm after cultivation reaches that level."
"If as in the history of the Eden Kingdom, the Divine Realm is a time flow cage recognized by the cosmic will, then becoming a god in the traditional sense is a joke."
"Elder Yi, you mean, not recommending me to become a god?" A gleam flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and he asked.
