A girl with long blond hair beside him responded, "Alliance leader."
Shangguan Weier's tone suddenly became serious: "You must defeat Xishui League in the finals."
The girl named Ye Guyi asked, "Alliance leader, are you sure they are related to the evil soul master?"
Shangguan Weier nodded and said, "This can't be false. The evil soul master we accidentally captured last time was from Xishui League."
"You are our secret weapon this time, don't let me down."
Ye Guyi nodded confidently: "Alliance leader, leave it to me."
The soul masters who signed up for the auditions were only credible in strength, so it was naturally impossible for them to represent the Ordinary Alliance in the finals.
Shangguan Weiler had already selected three level six soul masters as the finalists, and Ye Guyi was one of them.
As for the other soul guides? They were just tools to attract nobles to become gamblers.
In other words, this is actually a two-way selection process.
Female soul mentors used the underground soul mentor competition to attract the attention of the nobles, and the nobles had a platform to come into contact with a large number of female soul mentors at once.
After the competition is over, there will be time for both sides to talk in detail.
On the stage, the host Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up and she said excitedly, "Congratulations to this sister, she is the first one to pass the qualifying round."
"So fast."
Shangguan Wei'er and others in the luxurious private room were stunned at the same time.
Less than one-fifth of the sand had flowed out of the hourglass, but some contestants had already completed their work.
"Could it be that a master has appeared among the passers-by?"
Shangguan Weier couldn't help but sit up, looking intently at the blue-haired girl who was the first one to be created on the screen.
I don’t know what level of soul guide she is, but it is definitely not easy for her to make a third-level soul guide device so quickly.
Moreover, she has an outstanding appearance. Unlike the coquettish women in the Ordinary Alliance, she has a unique heroic spirit and is definitely a person worth winning over by the Ordinary Alliance.
Shangguan Weier specifically instructed the two people beside her: "Pay attention to this contestant and see if you can recruit him."
"Yes."
The qualifying round was not difficult at all. While many contestants were still thinking, Huo Qiuer had already made a third-level soul guide cannon and handed it in, becoming the first to pass the assessment.
A middle-aged woman handed her a golden badge with the number ninety-two engraved on it, as well as some rare metal rewards for passing the qualifying round.
"Congratulations girl for passing the qualifying round. Tomorrow we will start the elimination round. In the end, the division champion will be decided and we will go to the western suburbs to participate in the finals."
Huo Qiuer neatly put away the rare metal reward and was about to walk out, but was stopped by the middle-aged woman.
She asked sincerely, "I don't know your name, can we talk more?"
"Not interested in."
Huo Qiuer didn't say anything more. She flashed and left Qingxia Hotel directly.
She had no interest in staying in such a place for long.
Walking on the way back to Mingyue Hotel, Huo Qiuer was thinking quietly.
After all, her soul engineer level is only level four. She can easily pass the qualifying round, but the subsequent competitions may not be so easy.
But it wasn't just this incident that made her ponder.
Ever since receiving Huo Yuhao's memories and sorting out the strange thoughts in his mind, Huo Qiuer clearly felt that she had changed.
What changed was not his nature or character, but his own way of thinking. He began to analyze things like Huo Yuhao.
Those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly. Perhaps Huo Qiuer and Huo Yuhao may have different views on the same thing.
Her personality has not changed. She is still arrogant and always looks cold to other people.
Only when facing Huo Yuhao, a flame of unwillingness to admit defeat burned fiercely in her heart.
If Huo Qiuer wanted to defeat him, she had to not only defeat him in terms of strength, but also defeat him completely from the heart.
Huo Qiu'er muttered to herself indifferently towards the nonexistent object in front of her: "Humans and soul beasts are different, or maybe they are not that different."
"According to human terms, I am also a noble, right?"
"What do you think?"
Chapter 335 Even if I Kill You, You're Still Mine
In the eastern part of Mingdu, Yueyang City.
This is a small city located on the line connecting the Sun, Moon and Sky Soul border and Mingdu. If one wants to return to the Sky Soul Empire, or to return to the Douling Empire via the Sky Soul Empire, Yueyang City is the only way to go.
At this moment, a group of people were doing simple shopping and resting in the city.
There were more than a dozen people in this group, most of them were under the age of 20, and the only one leading them was a middle-aged man.
Their mounts were all ten-year-old horse soul beasts. Although they were not as good as the rare and precious horned and scaled horses, they were also extremely extraordinary horses. It only took them two days to get from Mingdu to Yueyang City.
From Yueyang City, travel east for three or four days to reach the border between the Sun and Moon Empire and the Tianhun Empire. Another seven or eight days to reach Tiandou City, the capital of Tianhun.
The group did not stay in Yueyang City for too long. After purchasing the necessary supplies in the store, they immediately set out on their journey home.
A group of young men under the age of 20 should have been full of vigor and high spirits, but now they were all listless and sat on their horses with their heads down.
They are a sect team participating in this Soul Master Elite Competition, named Tianyu Sect, from the Tianhun Empire, a sect with a history of thousands of years.
The contestants sent by Tianyu Sect are extremely powerful, including two Soul Kings, nine Soul Sect members. The overall strength of the regular players and reserve players could have competed for the top eight in the previous competition.
But unfortunately, they drew a stronger opponent in the first round, and were eliminated in the first round and had to return home.
The middle-aged man leading the team was a Soul Saint. He solemnly reminded those behind him, "Have you replenished your food, medicine, and other supplies? Then we should set off as soon as possible and try to return to the sect as soon as possible."
A young soul king behind him asked, "Uncle, it's getting late. Why don't we stay in the city tonight? We have been traveling for two consecutive days."
The Soul Saint whom he called Fourth Uncle looked up at the setting sun at the far end of the horizon and said in a tone that did not allow for discussion: "No, the sect is about to hold an election for a new sect leader and we cannot delay. The sect leader asked us to return to the sect immediately after the competition."
He looked back at the listless young people, sighed, pulled the reins in his hand, and softened his tone: "Everyone, slow down a bit."
The dozen young men behind Fourth Uncle also tightened the reins, and the dozen or so well-trained horses slowed down at the same time and headed out of Yueyang City.
Once the pace slowed down, the group was able to talk on horseback.
Fourth uncle asked: "How is Yang'er's injury recovering?"
Another young soul king said, "Fourth Uncle, it was only a minor injury. I am almost fully recovered now."
"Well." Fourth Uncle glanced coldly at the dejected young spirit masters and scolded, "Cheer up, everyone. Look at what you look like now!"
"Just because you lost a game, did that destroy your ambition?"
As an elder, he knew very well why these young people in the sect were so depressed. After just two days of travel, these soul masters with four or five rings of cultivation would not feel so tired.
There was only one reason for their depression, that was that they were full of confidence, but when they participated in the competition for the first time, they didn't even make it past the first round of eliminations and were directly eliminated.
As soon as Fourth Uncle opened his mouth, he ignited the resentment in the hearts of these young soul masters.
The young soul king said unwillingly: "But we were just a little bit away from winning the team battle."
He was the first to speak, and others followed suit.
"Yeah, if I hadn't been targeted by the opponent and didn't even use my fifth soul skill, I would have definitely won the team battle."
"I was careless too. The light wave didn't hit the opponent's auxiliary."
"And I……"
Listening to the endless complaints of the young people, the fourth uncle frowned, put on the dignity of an elder, and growled, "Enough!"
These young soul masters of Tianyu Sect immediately fell silent.
"If you are not as skilled as others, then you are not as skilled as others. I am very dissatisfied with your performance on the field. What's the point of saying so much now?"
The young soul masters lowered their heads one by one, looking ashamed.
Fourth Uncle's tone softened again: "Since you know that your skills are inferior to others, then you should be ashamed and then be brave, and go back to practice well."
The young people answered, “Yes.”
While they were chatting, the group from Tianyu Sect had already left Yueyang City. The buildings in the city were no longer visible, and there were only dense woods all around. As night fell, the place seemed eerie.
Fourth Uncle's right eyelid twitched involuntarily. He always felt that there was an indescribable weirdness in the surrounding environment.
He often traveled at night, and he took the same route when he came to participate in the competition, but he did not feel that this road was so gloomy at that time. Even he, a powerful Soul Sage, felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
The young soul king suddenly remembered something and asked, "Uncle, Her Royal Highness the Princess met you in Mingdu before. What did she say at that time?"
Fourth Uncle said casually, "It's nothing. He just told us not to be sad about losing the game. It was just a routine consolation. He said that we probably won't have the chance to come to Mingdu again in the future. It won't be too late to stay in Mingdu for a few days and then return to Tianhun. However, we have important matters in the sect, so I declined."
"Mingdu..." The young soul king laughed bitterly, "I didn't expect that we would leave Mingdu like this. Before I came here, I was dreaming of fighting with Shrek Academy on the field."
Just as he finished speaking, a strange laugh suddenly came from the surrounding woods.
"Since you are so attached to Mingdu, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Just follow me back to Mingdu!"
The strange laughter, accompanied by ripple-like echoes, turned into a cold and violent wind that swept through the forest. The forest, which had been calm just a moment ago, suddenly became cold and windy, with branches and leaves swaying.
For a moment, the sound of wind, forest and laughter blended together, piercing the eardrums of every soul master in Tianyu Sect like steel needles. Everyone in Tianyu Sect changed their faces and their hair stood on end.
"Who?"
Soul Saint Fourth Uncle suddenly became alert and quickly looked around. He realized that the strange feeling in his heart was not groundless.
Just as he asked the question, he suddenly felt a shock in his crotch and immediately jumped up from the horse's back.
"hiss--"
Sharp horse neighing sounds were heard one after another, and more than a dozen ten-year-old horse soul beast mounts raised their front legs at the same time, struggling continuously, as if they were disturbed by something, and then fell down one after another.
The young men from the Tianyu Sect also discovered something was wrong and jumped off their horses at the same time. A moment later, these horse soul beasts began foaming at the mouth and all died.
Fourth Uncle looked at the dead mount on the ground with a grim face. Seven soul rings flickered behind him, two yellow, three purple, and two black. He asked again, "Who is it?" The people from the Tianyu Sect also gathered in a group and released their martial souls and soul rings.
No one responded to him, only the eerie laughter kept lingering in the woods.
Fourth Uncle's face became more and more ugly. Although he had already reached the level of Soul Saint, he could not sense the other party's existence or soul power fluctuations at all, which meant that the other party's strength was far above his.
He clasped his hands together and saluted, then said solemnly, "I wonder what your name is? How have we offended you? Why did you attack and kill our mounts?"
The sinister laugher finally spoke, saying, "It's not an offense. I just invite you to stay in Mingdu for a while."
