Chapter 265: Laughing at the world is just a drug addict
The circles of sapphire velvet chairs around the hall were filled with people, but they were all very quiet, concentrating on watching the people busy at the metal tables in the center.

Looking around, it was conservatively estimated that there were nearly two thousand spectators, all of whom were wearing masks to cover their faces. However, from their appearance, they were obviously either rich or noble.

After a few quick glances, Wang Lin lost interest. He turned his gaze back to the middle-aged man and instructed, "If they want to participate, let them participate. But even if they are late, they must follow the rules."

"Okay." The middle-aged man understood what Wang Lin meant. He raised his hand and arranged for someone to take Wang Lin to the circular room floating around. As the Son of God, Wang Lin did not need to participate in the preliminaries.

Wang Lin still has this privilege.

After Wang Lin left, the middle-aged man looked at Huo Yuhao and the other three and said, "Four guests, please come this way. We only have about half an hour left."

After saying that, the middle-aged man led Huo Yuhao and He Caitou, two of the four contestants, onto the competition stage. However, because they were in disguise, their aliases were now Tang Wu and Tang Si.

Just as they walked onto the stage, an old man in yellow stood behind them as a supervisor.

It seemed that because of Wang Lin’s departure, Huo Yuhao relaxed a lot. When he walked onto the stage, he looked at the empty soul guide table and his face turned cold.

“The competition doesn’t provide materials?”

The old man standing next to him saw that Huo Yuhao had the same attitude and his face was also not good. "You are late, so you should prepare yourselves. If it weren't for the adults' order, you wouldn't even have the chance to compete!"

“What about the rules?” Huo Yuhao was not discouraged and looked at the metal soul guide table in front of him.

"Make a soul guide device of at least level three before the last grain of sand falls from the hourglass." The old man in yellow pointed to the hourglass that was already half empty.

“Then I can only take it myself.” Huo Yuhao nodded, and a carving knife as pure white as snow was taken in his hand. He raised his hand and shook it.

He cut off the corner of the long table made of standard soul guides, which was worth five thousand gold soul coins, and threw it to He Caitou, and then cut a piece for himself.

The old man in yellow was stunned when he saw Huo Yuhao's actions. He turned around and looked at a circular room suspended in the air very close to the arena.

Wang Lin, who was lying on the leather sofa in the room, raised his hand and pressed the speaker button in front of him, and his voice was transmitted to Huo Yuhao.

"If you damage the property in the venue, you must pay compensation!"

As he spoke, Wang Lin's gaze fell on the carving knife in Huo Yuhao's hand. He could tell at a glance that it was the carving knife for the list in Huo Yuhao's hand - a tough carving knife.

Apparently Huo Yuhao even used a disguise on the carving knife. You have to know that the original tough carving knife was pure black.

Not long after Wang Lin fell, in just five minutes, Huo Yuhao completed his soul guide work.

It was a very smooth silver-white metal tube, about one foot long. Judging from Huo Yuhao's expression, he was quite proud of this simple energy-gathering soul guide cannon that he had made.

The old man in yellow picked up the soul guide and checked it. After confirming that there was no problem, he announced that Huo Yuhao had passed.

He Caitou also completed his work, which was a third-level storage soul guide device, and saw that both of them passed the test.

The two badges were taken out by the old man in yellow and handed to Huo Yuhao and He Caitou. Of course, the soul guides of He Caitou and Huo Yuhao were also confiscated by the old man and used as compensation for the soul guide table.

Huo Yuhao and Cai Tou had no objection to this. They took the two certificates for the next round of competition and left the arena with Bei Bei and Wang Dong.

In the circular room above, Wang Lin, who had watched the whole process, felt quite bored. There were not even any twists and turns. He had really wanted to see the scene where someone pretended to be cool but got slapped in the face.

You have to know that the plot here is something Wang Lin has never seen before. But soon, a thin-looking man walked into Wang Lin's room and whispered, "Sir Saint, your friend bought soul guide metal before leaving."

“They are not my friends.” Wang Lin clarified. What he wanted to do to Huo Yuhao meant that he and Huo Yuhao were destined not to become friends.

"Just do what you normally do. I'm here to watch the competition, so don't worry about me."

"Okay, Saint Son!" The man responded, and suddenly said, "Sir, there is news in the alliance that the Ordinary Alliance has found an incredible soul master, who may become a great threat to the Saint Church.

The leader hopes that you can defeat that soul master in the finals."

"I got it."

Wang Lin nodded and took note of it in his heart. Since he was a soul master who could become a great threat to the Holy Spirit Church, he would of course try to see if he could win him over.

As for the solution, just kidding, anyone who can deal with the enemies of the Holy Spirit Church are his friends.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao and Cai Tou, who walked out of the Qingse Hotel, looked unusually serious.

"Big Brother, Xishui League should be very confident in this competition. What we originally thought may be difficult to achieve."

"The plan failed?" Beibei was stunned when he heard this. Participating in the Mingdu Elite Soul Instructor Competition was not a sudden decision.

It was a decision that was made before coming to Mingdu. As the largest soul guide metal smuggling organization in the Sun Moon Empire, Xishui League would be favored by Xishui League if it could shine in the competition.

Then the supply of soul guide metals for the Tang Sect would definitely no longer be a problem, and the Tang Sect might even be able to prosper as a result.

Therefore, in the first round of the competition, although it was only a third-level soul guide device, the energy-gathering soul guide cannon made by Huo Yuhao was the top-level soul guide device among the third-level soul guide devices.

Not to mention the third-level storage soul guide made by He Caitou. Among all soul guides, storage soul guides have always had the highest gold content.

These two soul guides fully demonstrate that the two of them are genius soul guides.

Shrek Academy heard that the champion of this competition was very important to the three major forces in Mingdu, but even so, the Xishui League did not show any concern for them.

Even for the last deal they proposed, the supervisor Chen An said he had to consult his superiors. Huo Yuhao really felt that he was not valued.

This feeling made him feel very disgusted, but he still admitted the fact.

"It should be a failure." He Caitou nodded and said faintly: "This shows that Xishui League is not very sure, but absolutely sure."

Just like the current Continental Youth Elite Soul Master Competition, this Mingdu Elite Soul Master Competition also has age requirements, except that in the finals, the age limit is under 25 years old.

"Could it be that Xiao Hongchen is going to participate in the competition on behalf of Xishui League?" Beibei thought of Xiao Hongchen, who was a few months younger than him.

Although Xiao Hongchen had not been seen using the abilities of a soul engineer in the previous round of the competition, Beibei had not forgotten that Xiao Hongchen was a soul engineer.

"It shouldn't be. Although Xiao Hongchen's soul power fluctuations are very solid, he should be using a soul guide to cover it up. With the level of soul masters in the Sun Moon Empire, to be able to cultivate to the Soul Saint level at this age, it must have consumed a lot of training time and various secret medicines. He should not have the energy to focus on soul guides."

Huo Yuhao denied it confidently.
