She didn't know this person, but the circumstances of his death aroused her curiosity.
Not only did he die from being pierced through the body by a sharp weapon, his vitality was also devoured by a strange and powerful force. This strange way of death can easily be associated with a special group of soul masters - evil soul masters.
Ye Guyi came to this thought naturally.
Could it be the work of an evil spirit master? Is there an evil spirit master nearby?
She quickly glanced at the street, but did not detect the evil aura that she was extremely sensitive to.
She stayed for a while and soon went back to Qingxia Hotel.
Outside the Mingyue Hotel, on top of a tall building.
The leader of the Body Sect, Du Bu Si, was standing on it with Tian Lao, the chief priest of the Xing Luo Empire's Worship Hall.
Behind the two men stood several powerful men from the Body Sect and Xing Luo respectively.
Nebula Douluo Manyi was reporting Huo Yuhao's proposal to the two.
"Master Du, Elder Tian, what do you think?"
Tian Lao was dressed in a white robe, looking like an immortal. He said calmly, "Although the idea is good, I don't agree with it."
Du Bu Si laughed loudly and said, "Xu is just three Title Douluo, are you so scared?"
Tian Lao frowned: "If the poison doesn't kill us, it's not a big deal for three Title Douluo, but if we alert the enemy and attract the Dragon Emperor Douluo, how will you and I deal with it?"
Du Bu Si said nonchalantly, "He's just an old man named Long Xiaoyao, why should you be afraid? Mr. Xu, if you are afraid of death, at worst I can deal with Long Xiaoyao by myself."
Tian Lao lowered his voice and said, "You old lunatic."
"Hmph, this is how my Benti Sect has always acted. We kill those we don't like and steal those we like. So? You want to give me advice even if I kill a few evil soul masters?" Du Bu Si said with a smile.
Tian Lao turned his head and closed his eyes to rest, as if he didn't want to argue with Du Bu Si anymore.
"Ms. Benti Sect members, come with me and stretch your muscles before that eunuch Xu Tianran surrounds Mingdu." Du Bu Si turned around and said to the people behind him.
"Yes, Sect Master."
With hearty laughter, several people turned into meteors and flew out of Mingdu.
Chapter 330 The Source of Destruction and Cai Tou
The second day after the Continental Youth Spirit Master Elite Competition officially began.
In the eastern suburbs of Mingdu, the preliminary round knockout matches are still in full swing.
The more than 20 teams that have been eliminated have put more pressure on the remaining contestants, especially the weaker teams. After all, there is only one chance in the elimination round, and if you lose, you will be eliminated in the first round.
Compared with the previous day's competition, today's competition was more intense. The first five games in the morning were extremely exciting and drew cheers from the audience.
In the players' rest area, Tangmen Team, Wang Dong looked absentmindedly at the most remote corner of the rest area next to him, where there were a few empty seats.
Huo Yuhao was supposed to be sitting there, but he never showed up today.
Beside her, Xiao Xiao asked with concern: "Wang Dong, what's wrong with you?"
"Why didn't Yuhao come to watch the game?" Wang Dong's tone was obviously a little resentful.
Xiao Xiao replied: "His first round of competition has already ended. He doesn't need to come until the second round begins."
"Hmph, I always feel like Yuhao is deliberately avoiding me." Wang Dong complained with obvious dissatisfaction.
She stretched out a fist and waved it viciously, muttering, "The next time I see him, I will definitely interrogate him and ask him why he has been deliberately avoiding me."
"If the answer does not satisfy me, I will definitely teach him a lesson."
She had even asked around last night, and finally found out where the Dragon Tiger Gate room was. But she knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it.
The more Wang Dong thought about it, the more headache he got, as if there were two conflicting forces in the universe.
A certain force was constantly pushing her to miss Huo Yuhao very much. There was no reason, she just wanted to see him. At the same time, another force was obstructing her from meeting Huo Yuhao invisibly.
"The next match is between Tangmen and Dilongmen. Players from both teams please enter the waiting area. The first contestant of the individual elimination round will enter."
The host's broadcast lifted the spirits of everyone in the Tang Sect. Seven people stood up at the same time and walked towards the waiting battle area.
The Tang Clan was one of the teams that Xu Tianran and Jing Hongchen focused on. As soon as they heard the broadcast, they were particularly looking forward to the upcoming game.
On the surface, it is a weak sect that was once famous in the continent but has now declined. In fact, it is a team sent by Shrek Academy. Even the team that is truly named Shrek is only the second team.
Except for a few attentive people, most viewers are unaware of this contrast.
"Leave the first game to me."
The person who volunteered was He Caitou, who had always been honest.
Beibei's original tactic was to hide the strength of the Tang Sect, but when he saw He Caitou volunteering, he nodded and agreed, "Caitou, try your best to defeat as many people as possible. It's best for us to only send out two or three people in the first few games so as to hide the strength of the others."
At first glance, his tone seemed to be too dismissive of the previous rounds of elimination matches. But Beibei's eyes exuded wisdom and caution, as if this was the most rational choice.
Tang Ya nodded: "Cai Tou, don't forget our Tang Sect's unique skills."
He Caitou grinned and then stepped onto the competition stage.
The first contestant from Dilongmen also came on the field. He was a young man of average build.
The referee said solemnly: "Both parties step back, the first match of the individual elimination tournament is about to begin."
The young man from Dilongmen is named Xu Shenshu. He has an extremely ordinary figure and appearance. He is a standard strong attack spirit master, but he looks a little thin in front of the spirit master He Caitou.
He was a whole head shorter than the tall and strong He Caitou, and for a moment he couldn't tell who was the soul master and who was the soul instructor.
"The game begins." The referee gave the order.
Xu Shenshu, a young man from the Dilong Gate, let out a long roar towards the sky. His body expanded rapidly, and five soul rings, two yellow and three purple, appeared behind him.
As his body expanded, his skin became extremely hard, and bulges appeared on his back. The bulges burst and grew thick, serrated dorsal fins.
The Earth Dragon Sect, as its name suggests, has disciples whose martial spirits are almost all related to dragon-type spirit beasts. The martial spirit of this young man from the Earth Dragon Sect is called the Saber-toothed Earth Dragon, which is powerful, with excellent attack and defense, but unfortunately not good at long-range attacks, and has no attributes of its own.
He stomped his right foot heavily on the ground, making a deafening thud, and the whole person suddenly jumped up.
Although he looked clumsy, Xu Shenshu was not slow at all. He rushed towards He Caitou like a cannonball.
What greeted him was a real cannonball.
No, not one, but ten or a hundred.
He Caitou's body was covered with gun barrels. He had three cigars of different lengths and thicknesses in his mouth. Six soul rings were flashing behind him. He stared coldly at the young man from Dilongmen who was rushing towards him.
"Cannonball? He's a soul mentor?"
Xu Shenshu, whose body was flying at high speed, was shocked when he saw the oncoming artillery shells.
He could never have imagined that the tall and mighty He Caitou was not a strong attack or defense soul master, but a soul instructor.
The soul engineer's best skill is long-range attack, but this is also his weakness.
Theoretically, an offensive spirit master should quickly close in on a spirit trainer, and that's exactly what he did, but the dense sea of shells before him made his heart numb.
Xu Shenshu's instant burst of speed was fast, but he lacked flexibility. He had no time to change direction and dodge in mid-air.
But the shell was moving at an extremely fast speed and was about to hit him head-on.
Each shell contains terrifying energy, and is at least a level five soul guide.
A fifth-level soul guide device is not scary, but the power unleashed by a group of fifth-level soul guide devices is not simply the sum of their strength.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it in time, Xu Shenshu made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and turned around in mid-air, using his thick dorsal fin to take the damage from the shell.
Boom boom boom——
Accompanied by a series of firecracker-like roars, thick smoke suddenly enveloped Xu Shenshu.
The old referee frowned, waved his hand, and dispersed the smoke in the center of the field.
The smoke cleared, revealing Xu Shenshu's miserable appearance. He was still conscious and had not yet exited the state of martial spirit possession, but he was already dying.
The highest and thickest dorsal fin in the middle of his back had been broken off, and the wound was full of burn marks. The hard keratinous skin also had multiple wounds, and the blood that should have flowed out was evaporated by the high temperature, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of blood.
Xu Shenshu finally couldn't hold on any longer, and he released his martial spirit from his body, lying on the ground and retching hard.
The old referee raised his hand slightly and announced at the right time: "First match of the individual elimination match, Tang Sect wins."
He Caitou stood on the field with a cold look in his eyes. His ferocious bald head and the gun barrel beside him that was still emitting the residual heat from firing showed a strong murderous aura.
The soul guide screen transmitted his appearance to outside the venue, causing continuous shock to the audience.
Very few people had thought that He Caitou was actually a soul engineer, and his cultivation had reached the Soul Emperor level, and he killed a Soul King in seconds with just one encounter.
Is this really a lowest-rate sect team?
On the rostrum, Xu Tianran frowned and asked, "Master Hongchen, who is this contestant...?"
Jing Hongchen thought for a moment, then answered, "This person's name is He Caitou. He was a reserve player sent by Shrek Academy to participate in the previous competition. He is also one of the candidates to come to Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy as an exchange student."
"His soul mentor talent is very good. Now that he is less than 20 years old, I am afraid he has already broken through to the sixth level of soul mentor."
"I sent someone to ask several students who had contact with him during the exchange period. He is honest and easy-going. He is a rare exchange student who can get along well with the Sun and Moon students."
He carefully investigated the players sent by Tang Sect and Shrek to this competition.
He didn't know the players of the Shrek team except Ning Tian and Wu Feng, but he knew the Tang Sect team quite well, as most of them were the qualifiers of the previous competition.
Among them, He Caitou had been to Sun Moon College as an exchange student, and it could be said that Jing Hongchen had the most information about him.
Xu Tianran noticed a detail and asked curiously, "What does it mean to get along well with the Sun and Moon students?"
Jing Hongchen said: "Whether it is Xingluo or Shrek's exchange students, most of them will be spontaneously excluded by the students in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy."
"But I heard that He Caitou has a lot of common topics with other Sun and Moon students, and he is also very honest and gets along very well with them."
"Oh." Xu Tianran responded casually.
Orange behind him asked with a smile: "Your Highness, why are you so interested in this student?"
Xu Tianran said indifferently: "I'm just a little curious about his appearance."
He Caitou's skin color would certainly arouse his curiosity, because his dark complexion was a sign of direct descent from the Sun and Moon royal family.
Jing Hongchen shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you worry too much. How could such a commoner be related to the royal bloodline?"
"During yesterday's competition, weren't there at least five contestants with the same skin color as him?"
Xu Tianran did not object to Jing Hongchen's words. There are many people with black skin in the world. Are they all related to the Sun and Moon Xu family?
