The Young Soul Master Competition, which is held every five years, will be held soon, and this time it is the Sun and Moon Empire's turn to host the competition.
This competition also specially introduced sect teams to participate. Compared with pure academy teams, sects have completely different training methods. The younger generation of large sects with a long tradition may not necessarily lose to those soul master academies with rich teachers.
.
As the most watched event in the entire continent, if you can place among the best in this competition and shine, you will not only receive generous material rewards, but also create a resounding reputation for your sect.
The competition is an opportunity for the major forces to become famous in the world, but it may also be a trap that attracts them to fall into the trap.
Huo Yuhao now has every reason to speculate that the Sun and Moon Empire has the motive and ability to take advantage of this competition to wipe out all the participating team members from all forces in the mainland.
Whether it is to take these young talents as hostages, or to annihilate all the talents of all parties, it means that the Sun and Moon Empire has made plans to break up with the three mainland countries and launch an all-out war.
"Did this day come so quickly?" Huo Yuhao muttered to himself as he walked on the streets of Mingdu, but he was not surprised.
The competition is held in rotation among the four countries, and it is the Sun and Moon Empire's turn only every twenty years. If a full-scale war is to be launched, now is an excellent opportunity to target it.
With the heavy investment of Mingdetang, the sealed milk bottle finally came out, marking a new solution to the problem of power and energy.
The research on soul guidance machine tools is also making great strides. After the core array is decomposed through mathematical principles, automatic engraving will be much simpler. Mingdetang has been able to mass-produce five-level soul guidance tools.
Level five soul guides are already the standard equipment for an elite soul guide group.
An invisible war machine seems to be right in front of you, ready to run at high speed at any time.
Of course, whether the Sun and Moon Empire will declare war is just Huo Yuhao's guess. He does not think that starting a war now is a good choice for Sun and Moon.
But the Ten Thousand Soul Douluo accidentally revealed the news that the Sun and Moon Empire would take advantage of this competition to take action, which made him resolutely decide to contact the Holy Spirit Cult and the royal family to understand their true intentions.
Before fighting against the outside world, one must first pacify the inside. Huo Yuhao was confident that as long as he stayed in Mingdu, he could shut down the war machine of the Sun and Moon Empire that was running at full strength at any time.
There is one very important thing that is not very clear right now, and that is Huo Yuhao doesn't know how much Mingdetang's reserve of ninth-level custom-made soul-guided artillery shells is.
It was not appropriate to ask Jing Hongchen directly. He was considering whether he could infer this result through Mingdetang's rare metal consumption.
The plan cannot be accomplished overnight,
At this moment, Huo Yuhao had turned into a man with black hair, wearing thin black short-sleeves and a pair of black goggles. He seemed to be wandering on the street aimlessly, but in fact he was searching for information about the Xishui Alliance.
Huo Yuhao tried to take the initiative to ask the people of Mingdu, such as the vendors in the market, but they would avoid talking with frightened faces.
Although I didn't find out anything, it at least shows that the Xishui Alliance is not as secretive as the Holy Spirit Cult. Even the common people have heard of their reputation, which is just a bad name.
There will also be a few well-meaning vendors who remind Huo Yuhao not to talk about the Xishui Alliance and to stay as far away from this terrifying underground force as possible.
Unable to find any information on civilians, Huo Yuhao began to contact the black market in Mingdu.
Finally, relying on his ability to collect information from all aspects, Huo Yuhao found out about the underground forces in Mingdu.
The three largest underground forces in Mingdu are the Xishui League, the Pingfan League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. Among them, the Xishui League is the largest.
The soul master's status in the Sun and Moon Empire is extremely high, and he has always been a talent attracted by all forces, and the three major underground forces are no exception.
Now, Huo Yuhao is standing in front of an ordinary three-story building.
Even without using mental detection, he could tell that something was wrong with this building.
People were constantly coming in and out of the three-story building in front of me, and the flow of people seemed to be quite large.
How many people can a three-story building accommodate? Why do so many people come and go?
In front of the small building, two guards in black attire stood, their cold eyes vigilantly checking the flow of people coming in and out.
They would just glance at people going out, but they would stop people who were about to enter and ask a few questions.
For some people, they will bend down respectfully and show a flattering smile, while for others, their tone is not so friendly.
There was even one person who was stopped by them, pushed hard to the ground, scolded and not allowed to enter, so he had to leave in disgrace.
"Are the guards even soul kings? It seems that this black market is very important to the Xishui Alliance." Huo Yuhao immediately saw through the strength of the two guards and thought to himself.
He quietly released his mental detection and saw clearly the mystery of the underground. Compared with the ordinary things on the ground, there was a unique cave underground.
Ten meters below the ground is an extremely chaotic black market, with nearly a thousand people conducting shady transactions in the black market.
Prohibited soul tools, rare metals, banned drugs...many items that are difficult or impossible to purchase through regular channels can be found at various stalls here, but the prices have also risen accordingly.
This is one of the black markets opened under the name of Xishui Alliance.
Not only are the two soul kings guarding the door, but there are also one or two invisible powerful auras underground, which may come from Titled Douluo.
And in the black market, there is still the sinister aura belonging to the evil soul master.
"Looks like we've come to the right place." Huo Yuhao said coldly, and then walked towards the two guards.
"Private place, please stay." A tall guard stopped Huo Yuhao and asked, "I don't know, Your Excellency..."
They will conduct routine inquiries on everyone who comes in and out.
Huo Yuhao already understood this while observing from the side. He didn't want to talk nonsense and directly threw a small object at the guard.
The guard subconsciously caught it, and after seeing it clearly, he was stunned for a moment.
This is clearly a sixth-level soul master badge, and it is an exclusive badge of Mingde Hall and cannot be copied elsewhere.
Whether he obtained it personally or was given to him by others, this young man was obviously a big shot that everyone in the Xishui Alliance paid attention to, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
The guard in black quickly showed a flattering smile, respectfully handed back the object thrown by Huo Yuhao, and made a gesture of invitation at the same time.
"Sir, please come in."
The direction he pointed was a tunnel leading underground.
"Um."
After Huo Yuhao took the item, he responded lightly and walked towards the underground black market.
When he actually stepped into this underground black market, it meant formal contact with the Xishui Alliance and the Holy Spirit Cult.
I was so confused thinking about the plot tonight that I couldn't write anything for several hours. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to open a new volume...
The transitional chapter is a bit short and confusing, so I hope you can relax...
