Chapter 287 Youthful competition (4000 chapters for a monthly ticket)
Huge profits are tempting, and the influence of the three major underground forces in Mingdu can spread almost all over the country, so they naturally want to get a share of the pie. It will bring them huge profits every year. This is because the country monopolizes this industry and uses rare metals as strategic materials.
When export is not allowed.
The three major underground forces named this competition: Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition. It complements the continent's young high-level soul master elite competition.
After weighing the situation, Huo Yuhao chose the Xishui Alliance, which had the strongest overall strength among the three underground forces, but was vaguely suppressed by the other two forces. As for why, only he himself knew.
The venue for the Xishui League's preliminaries is a high-end hotel in the city center. One of the reasons for choosing this place is that it is close enough to the Mingyue Hotel and there is no need to walk too much. After all, Huo Yuhao is not able to travel now. If the distance is too far, it will be wrong.
He is also a burden. It can’t be Wang Donger pushing him around the city...
Qingse Hotel, a hotel with a very distinctive name, is only a little over one kilometer away from Mingyue Hotel, and only two kilometers away from the Sun and Moon Empire Palace. It is in an absolutely prime location. However, the name of this hotel is often used.
If people call it wrong, it is easy to misunderstand that it is a sex hotel. But it is also named because of this. This is the property of Xishui League. As for whether the headquarters of Xishui League is here, no one knows.
On the surface, Qingse Hotel does not look as big as Mingyue Hotel, with only five floors above ground, but those who are familiar with it understand that its real strength is reflected underground.
At the front entrance of the hotel, four strong men, all over two meters tall and wearing tight-fitting black suits, were standing, looking at the flow of people passing by with cold eyes.
Before Huo Yuhao and the others came near, a strong man in black had already come forward and blocked their way with a raised hand.
"The hotel is closed to the public today, please leave."
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly while sitting in his wheelchair and said, "We are here to participate in the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition."
The strong man in black was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face softened obviously. The status of soul masters in the Sun and Moon Empire is much higher than that of other countries. Offending a soul master, even if the other party is not high level, is definitely not a wise choice.
.
"Sorry, Mr. Soul Master, the preliminaries have begun and will end soon. You are late." The strong man in black said with regret, but his expression was a little more respectful. Maybe it was because of He Caitou
The mystery exuding from his body also affected his mood.
Huo Yuhao said with regret: "That's such a pity. Originally, I thought that I could represent the Xishui Alliance in the finals and help you win the championship. Do you think this is good? I will spend 100,000 gold souls
Coins, I will be able to qualify today. Anyway, there is not much time now. If I can't qualify, wouldn't I make a lot of money for you, but if I qualify, it means that Xishui League has a good soul.
Mentor participating in the competition is a very beneficial result for you, isn't it?"
The big man in black was stunned, "One hundred thousand gold soul coins, are you sure?" Gambling in the underground world is by no means a secret. Without the tacit consent from above, such a large-scale competition would not be possible. Therefore, this
The big man in black did not shy away from it, but he was frightened by the amount of money Huo Yuhao said. Even some nobles rarely made such a large sum. And he was betting on himself. Isn't he afraid that Xishui Alliance would use secret operations to obtain his sum?
Money?
Huo Yuhao nodded seriously and said: "I believe in the fairness of the Xishui Alliance. If you can't make the decision, you can ask the superiors for instructions."
"Please wait a moment." The expression of the big man in black became more respectful. He gave Huo Yuhao a simple salute and then walked quickly to the door of Qingse Hotel. After exchanging a few words with his companion at the door, he quickly entered the hotel.
At the gate of Qingse Hotel, a middle-aged man wearing an elegant white gown came out. Seeing Huo Yuhao and the four people standing outside the hotel, he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "My men
I don’t understand, distinguished guests, please come with me." As he said this, he had already made a gesture of invitation.
Huo Yuhao was a little surprised by his cheerfulness. He nodded and signaled to Wang Dong'er to push him into Qingse Hotel.
The interior of Qingse Hotel is indeed very green, and the layout is very simple. There is no clue that this is the place where the underground forces rank first in Mingdu. It is also a very important stronghold of the Xishui League.
The layout of the entire hotel has a moist feeling, with white porcelain decorations everywhere, white porcelain floors, and white porcelain walls. All colors are mainly white and red.
Seeing this, Wang Dong'er, who was pushing the wheelchair, couldn't help but secretly curse in her heart. Are those red arrangements foreshadowing blood? Then what are these white porcelains? Blood in the whiteness?
After entering the hotel, the middle-aged man stopped and said, "Dear guests, I wonder who is going to participate in our Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition?"
Huo Yuhao said: "My eldest brother and I are both going to participate." As he spoke, he pointed to the cabbage beside him.
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I wonder what you call these two gentlemen?"
Huo Yuhao said: "My eldest brother's name is Tang Si, and my name is Tang Wu."
There was a gleam in the middle-aged man's eyes. Of course he could tell that this was just casual and perfunctory and could never be the real name.
But what he didn't know was that the two names Huo Yuhao were not randomly chosen. The ancestor who founded the Tang Sect was named Tang San. Naturally, they couldn't add another name to it. That's why the two names Tang Si and Tang Wu came into being.
name.
The middle-aged man did not ask further questions. Many soul masters have special hobbies, and many people have scruples about participating in underground power competitions. There are many people who use pseudonyms, and there is no way to win over them in this underground power competition.
It is very important not to rely on names and not to inquire about the privacy of powerful soul masters. Only profit can keep them.
"Because the competition has started for a while and will end soon. So time is a bit tight. Can you two please show your identity as soul mentors? I will arrange the competition for you immediately. And you just mentioned about the betting...
…”
Huo Yuhao raised his hand, and Wang Donger behind him had already taken out a dark gold card and handed it over.
"This is the black gold VIP card of Ruiqianzhuang that is common in mainland China. Xiaona, you will follow this one up to place your bet later." Huo Yuhao said lightly. As he spoke, he raised his right hand slightly, and the middle-aged man only felt that in front of his eyes
In a flash, Huo Yuhao already had a short dagger in his right hand. A white light suddenly lit up, and the sharp sword energy shot into the sky instantly, sending out a sharp roar in the air.
He Caitou was even simpler. He raised his hand and released a huge soul cannon. The muzzle of the cannon was aimed at the middle-aged man.
Cold sweat suddenly dripped from the middle-aged man's forehead. He quickly said: "Calm down, you two. I've confirmed it. I admit it."!
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and said: "Since you said time is tight, then take us there quickly." As he said this, he slowly put away the White Tiger Dagger in his hand.
No matter when, he would always carry this mother's only relic with him. He is no longer the young boy he used to be. He specifically conducted research on the White Tiger Dagger. Later, he discovered that it turned out to be a level five near-body soul guide.
It comes with a soul skill called Devour. When the opponent's attack intensity does not exceed the range of the White Tiger Dagger, it can devour it and turn it into its own attack power for the next blow.
When he first went to the Star Dou Forest, he relied on the characteristics of the White Tiger Dagger to survive the attack of the ten-year soul beast.
While wiping his cold sweat, the middle-aged man led Huo Yuhao and the others to a soul guidance elevator inside the hotel lobby. He then said a few words with a soul guidance communicator, and then led the four of them in.
Got the elevator.
The elevator kept going downwards and stopped after about ten seconds. When the door opened again, a noisy sound mixed with a breath of drunkenness and wealth came to my face.
Completely opposite to the simplicity of the green hotel lobby, the splendor of the hotel's underground world immediately dazzled everyone's eyes. There was gold everywhere, even the mirrors. It was as if the underground world was entirely made of gold.
After the middle-aged man led the four people out of the elevator, they first passed through a gorgeous prototype hall, and then entered a door directly in front.
There were two guards at the door. After seeing the middle-aged man, they immediately opened the door and invited them in.
Entering the door, it is as if you have entered another world directly. The light here is not as strong as outside and looks much softer. However, the size of the area makes Huo Yuhao look surprised in his eyes.
This is a circular dome hall. The top of the hall seems to be neatly and regularly outlined by countless golden lines. The huge dome provides enough light for the entire hall. Rows of seats extend downward neatly.
Past. And there is a circle of upward sloping escalators around the perimeter. At the end of each soul guide escalator, there is a circular room suspended in the air. It is completely invisible to the naked eye as to how these rooms are suspended in mid-air.
There are a total of eighteen such suspended rooms and soul-guided escalators. They form a faint circle.
In the middle of the hall, there is a circular platform with a diameter of thirty meters. Although it is not as wide as the competition stage of the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, it is already quite amazing. Don't forget, this is underground.
world.
At this time, there were dozens of metal tables placed on the competition stage, and soul guidance lights flickered from time to time. There were also some metal tables placed around the round stage. The total number exceeded one hundred. Some metal tables had already been placed at this time.
Empty out.
The circles of sapphire blue velvet chairs on the outside were full of people. But they were all quiet, concentrating on the busy people on the metal tables in the center. A conservative estimate is that there are more than two thousand people watching.
There are so many. It can be seen from their clothes and costumes that they are either rich or noble.
Huo Yuhao already knew from Nana that those who could watch the battle in person were all big bettors, who bet at least 10,000 gold soul coins. However, ordinary people could only place their bets at the peripheral betting points of these underground forces.
Just one sub-division attracted hundreds of soul masters under the age of thirty to participate. The appeal of this underground black market competition is quite impressive!
"Excuse me, how many people are there in the Xishui League participating in this competition?" Huo Yuhao asked the middle-aged man who was leading the way.
The middle-aged man said respectfully: "We have a total of 264 soul masters competing here. If we add two more, it will be 266. Some soul masters have already finished their production. Today
It is a qualifying competition. You are required to make a third-level soul guide to pass the qualification review. Of course, it must be within a certain period of time. You see, every soul guide has an hourglass on his desk. However, now it is far from the end.
The soul master who appeared on the stage has finished production, only half an hour, about half an hour. I don't know if you two are still in time."
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, with a hint of arrogance at the corner of his mouth, "That's enough." He was not himself now, but playing another person. From this moment on, he had obviously made an emotional adjustment.
"That's good."
Huo Yuhao asked again: "What is your original business here? An auction house?"
A trace of vigilance flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, "You haven't been to our golden hall before?"
Huo Yuhao curled his lips disdainfully, "Of course I have never been here before, we nobles..." He paused here, and his eyes also showed a look of vigilance. But this vigilance made the middle-aged man
The person's expression relaxes.
Smiling slightly, showing some elegance, the middle-aged man said confidently: "That's such a pity. We are indeed an auction house here, and it is the largest auction house in our Mingdu. Let me tell you quietly, even the royal family
People have come to participate in our top-level auctions. If you are free in the future, please come. You will definitely be treated like our VIPs."
While they were talking, they had already arrived near the center of the playing field. But they were stopped by someone.
Two men wearing the same clothes as the middle-aged guides blocked their way. After a brief exchange, one of the two middle-aged men said: "Contestants can go in, and the rest of the crowd will go out and wait. Place your bets immediately.
.”
Wang Donger raised her eyebrows slightly, but Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said: "Xiaodong, Xiaona, you go out first. Xiaona goes to place a bet. I don't know how many times today's bet can be doubled."
The middle-aged man said calmly: "If you bet on the exact number of people who qualify, it can be doubled ten times. You can also bet on the multiples. The odds are different."
Huo Yuhao said in astonishment: "I said just now that I would bet on the two of us qualifying!"
The middle-aged man said calmly: "There is no such gambling method, this is just a qualifying competition. But the bet you mentioned must be completed, otherwise, you will not be allowed to participate."
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment and said, "You have never said this before."
