Chapter 858 They've Set Their Sights on the Soul Tools Here
"Please, everyone, don't be so polite!"
Beibei gently placed the cards in her hand flat on the table and smiled calmly.
The surrounding card players sighed and pushed their chips out.
"Haha! I bet small! I won! Bro, I'm so lucky today!"
On the other side of the gambling table, Xu Sanshi unceremoniously took a pile of chips that were placed in the middle of the table.
Upon seeing the mountain of chips in Xu Sanshi's hand, his opponents immediately groaned in despair.
The two brothers exchanged a glance, converted their chips into account points, and walked arm in arm toward Huo Yuhao's competition area.
The gamblers stared at the backs of the two brothers with varying expressions.
Among them were many unfriendly glances.
However, the security at the Aodu Building is very good, with guards patrolling at all times, and a powerful silver-level referee is stationed at every three gambling tables.
Even the area surrounding the Aodu Building extends for several blocks.
If anyone dares to cause trouble, the Aodu Building will be taken over within 15 minutes.
The emergence of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce occupied two-thirds of the Mingdu market, but it also acted as a stabilizing force, calming the storms in Mingdu's underworld.
"Where's Yuhao? At which table?"
Xu Sanshi walked up to the stands, craning his neck to look at the competition area below.
Beibei took out a telescopic soul tool from her storage ring, glanced at it, and found Huo Yuhao's figure in a corner.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was carving the core magic array at high speed. Metal blocks flew through his hands, sending up a large amount of metal shavings.
The entire process is like a sophisticated machining machine performing a magnificent art.
In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the prototype of a level seven core magic array was carved.
Huo Yuhao slammed all the metal blocks in his hands onto the table, a flash of green light appeared on his right hand, and a faint white mist emerged from his left hand.
He actually used the living blade in his right hand and the ice blade at the tip of his left finger to simultaneously inscribe the core magic array.
The Soul Masters on the field were all rushing to their Soul Tools, and no one was paying attention to Huo Yuhao.
On the contrary, many people in the audience noticed Huo Yuhao's actions.
They were betting on which Soul Master's work would win the final reward, so they were closely watching everything that was happening on the field. They were especially eager to see through the stronger Soul Masters.
Huo Yuhao's simultaneous carving immediately attracted their attention.
"Hey, that tall Soul Master brother, he's actually carving with both hands!"
"I see. This kid can actually inscribe them simultaneously. Is he inscribing the same core magic array?"
"Something's not right. The gestures he's using are different; this kid is actually inscribing different core magic arrays simultaneously!"
Hearing the noise around her, Bei Bei frowned slightly. "Yu Hao, have you even learned Nan Xiao's skills? You're becoming more and more like Nan Xiao."
"Beibei, Yuhao's move has really raised the odds! We need to hurry and place our bets!" Xu Sanshi said excitedly.
Beibei was immediately overwhelmed and sighed helplessly, saying, "We need to think of something. Our junior brother will be targeted by someone after this match!"
The Soul Tool Competition in the underworld is ostensibly a way for Soul Masters to earn rare metals and use the tools provided by the competition to create Soul Tools. But isn't it also a way for powerful figures to find suitable Soul Masters?
Some rivals, in particular, will choose to destroy what they cannot obtain.
Even though this is the territory of the Aodu Building, there can be a loophole.
Xu Sanshi picked at his ear and flicked it. "What's there to be afraid of? If they dare to come, just fight. Nanxiao said, 'A good punch can prevent a hundred punches!' I've also got my eye on their soul tools!"
More than half of the competition's timer has passed, and some contestants in the competition area have already completed the creation of their soul tools.
Beibei activated her Purple Demon Eye and glanced at the items. Most of them were soul tools like swords, ray guns, etc. Having been influenced by Ye Nanxiao's revolution in soul tool technology, she no longer found these conventional soul tools appealing.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the hourglass and increased the speed of his hands again.
"Hey, you bastard, look at the soul tool in Yuhao's hand. Doesn't it look like the charged shotgun that Nanxiao made to play with before?" Beibei suddenly slapped Xu Sanshi on the back.
Xu Sanshi was dozing off when he suddenly jolted awake.
Upon hearing Bei Bei's words, Xu Sanshi also activated his Purple Demon Eye and looked towards the competition area.
Upon seeing the charged shotgun in Huo Yuhao's hand, he immediately stood up.
"Holy crap! Isn't this the soul tool that Nanxiao made out of boredom, but then thought its power was too uncontrollable and wouldn't let us play with it?! How did Yuhao manage to make it?"
"Could it be that Yuhao got his hands on Nanxiao's design blueprints?!"
As Xu Sanshi spoke, his eyes gradually brightened, "Hey! If Yuhao could recreate those weapons that Nanxiao abandoned, we'd have so many toys to play with!"
Beibei's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she quickly calmed down.
"You bastard, do you even know why Nanxiao discarded these soul tools?"
"The soul tool that Yuhao forged looks quite powerful, so why did Nanxiao discard it?"
Upon hearing Beibei's question, Xu Sanshi gradually calmed down and began to think.
"Nanxiao's soul tool is indispensable in terms of both power and function. But what about the charged shotgun? Does it lack functionality?" Xu Sanshi said.
"Ding~ Ding~"
"Time's up. All contestants, please stop what you're doing, place your soul tools on the table, and put your hands behind your backs. Our judges will be checking them," said a silver-ranked judge.
Huo Yuhao finished installing the last part, locked the safety mechanism, and breathed a sigh of relief as he placed it on the table.
A referee walked up to Huo Yuhao's table, examined the charged shotgun closely, and then asked, "I need to pick it up and check it. Please make sure the soul tool is in a safe state."
"Okay, you can pick it up and check it." Huo Yuhao was a little surprised by the referee's good attitude, but then he thought that this was the Aodu Building, so good service was normal.
"This soul tool," the referee said, turning the charged shotgun over, his eyelids twitching slightly. Why did this damn structure look so familiar?
Hunter's weapon?!
After recognizing the weapon structure of the charged shotgun, the referee's gaze towards Huo Yuhao began to change.
Could this person in front of me be some hunter who has so much free time to come here and make a quick buck?
Wait a minute, hunters have their own entertainment venues and weapon trading platforms, what are they doing here?
Could it be that some of the internal weapons have been lost?
The referee considered many possibilities in an instant, but did not make a sound. He simply put Huo Yuhao's soul tool down silently.
"Very good, keep it up," the referee said casually, then immediately turned and walked toward the silver-ranked referee.
Huo Yuhao smiled smugly. He had only glanced at Ye Nanxiao's design drawings twice and memorized them thanks to his powerful memory.
I don't know why it was placed next to the pile of instant noodles as a mat.
The latest novel is first published here!
But since it's a weapon designed by Muddy, it should be pretty powerful!
The soul tool inspection phase has ended, and some soul tool masters who did not have time to complete the soul tool production have been eliminated.
The subsequent testing phase of the soul tools will facilitate the soul tool masters to showcase their works and also allow the audience to bid for them.
The testing procedure involves raising a soul-guided shield and placing a dummy wearing soul-guided armor to conduct a damage test.
Huo Yuhao received number five and stood quietly in his spot, holding his soul tool.
In front of him were several Soul Masters, three melee Soul Guidance Devices, and a Soul Guidance Ray Gun.
The soul-guided armor on the test dummy was of a high level; the previous testers could only leave marks on it.
When it was Huo Yuhao's turn, he suddenly noticed that there were several more referees on the referee's table, and the previous silver-ranked referee was standing respectfully to one side.
"A veteran silver-level referee? Or a gold-level referee?" Huo Yuhao glanced at the seats of Bei Bei and the other two in the audience.
"Xiao Liu, are you sure the soul tool this contestant made is the same as our hunters' standard weapon?"
"This is no small matter!"
The man at the head of the group turned to look at the silver-lettered referee and said.
The sudden appearance of the hunter team's weapon during the Soul Tool Competition is enough reason to seal off the underground world tonight.
Hunters were already waiting in the three streets outside the Odu Building.
"Yes, the soul tool we found is a charged shotgun," the Silver Referee replied respectfully.
The man narrowed his eyes, watching Huo Yuhao's figure, his expression unreadable.
"Brother, should we take this kid down first? That's a hunter's weapon!" a woman said.
The man shook his head slightly and turned to look at the audience, as if searching for something.
He vaguely remembered that during the competition, people from the Tang Clan would often go out for a stroll.
"Let's wait until his test is over and let the unscrupulous merchants get into position."
The unscrupulous merchant is a member of the Oudu Chamber of Commerce responsible for recycling technology and resources in the underground world.
Because they use all bidding methods, they are called unscrupulous merchants.
Huo Yuhao raised the charged shotgun and aimed it at the dummy.
A blue light gradually appeared on the muzzle, like a ball of flame.
Upon seeing this, the man confirmed that this was indeed the standard weapon of the hunter squad.
"jiu"
Huo Yuhao pulled the trigger, and the energy bullet exploded, bringing out the blue light that had accumulated at the muzzle.
"Bang!"
The soul-guided armor on the dummy shattered instantly.
The second shot shattered the soul-guided shield.
Huo Yuhao closed the safety and looked at the charged shotgun in his hand with surprise. He didn't expect the gun to be so powerful, but the charging time was a bit long.
"oh oh!"
Many people in the audience had already stood up, their eyes fixed on the charged shotgun in Huo Yuhao's hand.
"We may have to leave," Bebe said with a deep look in her eyes.
The four soul tools tested earlier all ranked highly, but none of them could break through the armor on the dummy, while Huo Yuhao did.
"Young man, this soul tool is quite well made. Did you design it yourself?" The man approached Huo Yuhao with a smile.
