He didn't expect that Huo Yuhao would still be in the mood to conduct research under the current circumstances.
After hesitating, he kindly reminded again: "Brother, I am going to make a soul guide cannon, you have to be careful."
Generally speaking, disposable soul-guided bombs that need to be thrown manually are not as good as soul-guided cannons of the same level. Gao Dalou thinks he has got a great bargain.
But Huo Yuhao didn't care at all and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Brother Gao, for the reminder." Then he turned his attention to the research of the soul guide in his hand.
The soul guide competition provides a sufficient amount of various rare metals, which is indeed a rare research opportunity.
Huo Yuhao’s current plan to replicate the Sun Spirit has reached a certain bottleneck.
Among the several soul skills displayed by Xu Tianzhen, the third soul skill, Sun Divine Light, can be perfectly imitated, but the Thousand-foot Light and Sun Gaze are difficult to reproduce.
The fifth soul skill, Thousands of Feet of Light, is somewhat similar to a domain, while the sixth soul skill, Sun Gaze, is a soul skill that absorbs energy.
The problem Huo Yuhao is facing now is that he needs to condense high temperature and high energy for a long time to launch a blow close to the ultimate fire attribute, but he cannot find any metal material that can withstand it for the time being.
Ordinary metal materials will be melted by high temperatures, causing the soul guide to fail. It will probably turn into a pool of molten iron before it can even be used.
The effects of some of the fire-attributed metals that Huo Yuhao has found so far are not ideal.
Several solutions flashed quickly through Huo Yuhao's mind.
Just make it a one-time thing?
Or cool yourself down with extreme ice?
Or try to enter a new field, materials science?
Mingdetang, which deals with metals every day, has long discovered the advantages of alloys and has also developed several widely used alloys.
However, theoretically there are countless types of alloys, and even Mingdetang's research on alloys is only in its early stages.
Time passed minute by minute, and after more than half an hour, Gao Dalou also completed his soul guide device.
His speed was relatively slow. During this period, Huang Zheng, Merck, and Cai Tou all completed their respective competitions, easily defeated their opponents, and successfully advanced to the top six of the Soul Guide Competition.
Gao Dalou smiled at Huo Yuhao and said, "Brother, sorry for the wait. I'm done. Let's go and hand in the work together."
Huo Yuhao chuckled, and the Life Blade in his hand suddenly slashed a few times quickly. The soul guide he was studying was instantly cut into several pieces and restored to pure metal.
According to the rules, each person is only allowed to make one soul guide, and is not allowed to take away any metal materials other than this soul guide. In order to prevent cheating, each contestant's metal materials are weighed by a third party before and after completion.
After all contestants have finished making their soul guides, they will hand over their soul guides to three senior soul guide referees.
These three referees are not from the Xishui League, but are invited from the palace. They are of noble status and represent authority, and they will not help Huo Yuhao, the Son of God, to take the back door in person.
The chief judge took a look at the soul guide cannon handed in by Gao Dalou and commented: "Level 5 destructive cannon, good quality."
He turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao's undead bomb, took a look, and frowned slightly: "Level 5 soul guide bomb, excellent quality."
Although he thought more highly of Huo Yuhao's bombs, he believed that soul guide bombs were not as good as soul guide cannons in a head-on confrontation.
The three referees discussed with each other for a while, and finally the chief referee came out and said: "All of you have made level 5 attack soul guide cannons, and the completion degree is extremely high. There is no situation where one party is incomplete. Now we will have a soul guide competition. Is there anyone who wants to give up?"
"No."
"Okay, no other soul guides are allowed to be used until one contestant admits defeat, regardless of life or death."
Having already gone through several rounds of soul guide competitions, he did not elaborate on the rules.
In this underground competition, the referees have no obligation to ensure the safety of the players.
"Okay, come on, send these two players into the competition area."
After the chief referee finished speaking, staff members led the two to the two sides of the confrontation area.
"Brother Chen, who do you think has a better chance of winning?" The referee sitting on the left asked the chief referee, "I think the quality of that level 5 soul guide bomb is very good."
The chief judge shook his head. "It's hard to say. Soul-guided bombs of the same level are obviously inferior to soul-guided cannons. What soul-guided bombs can do, soul-guided cannons can also do. And soul-guided bombs need to be thrown manually."
The third referee gave a different opinion: "But the soul guide cannon needs to be charged, and the soul guide bomb can be detonated by throwing it."
The chief referee still did not think highly of the soul-guided bomb. He focused his attention on the confrontation area, his eyes full of curiosity: "Let's wait and see."
Huo Yuhao stood on one side of the confrontation area, constantly throwing undead bombs with his right hand, quietly waiting for the game to begin.
At the other end, the tall building looked excited.
The winner will receive a considerable amount of gold soul coins and rare metals as rewards. Moreover, in this competition, he also bet the rewards from his previous rounds of games on his own handicap, and the odds are not low.
If he wins this game, he will make a lot of money.
"Are you all ready?" the referee asked in a deep voice.
"Ready."
"Well, number ninety-nine versus number forty-eight, the match begins."
Following a loud shout from the chief referee, Huo Yuhao stopped tossing the bomb with his right hand and held the Undead Bomb tightly in his hand.
Gao Dalou raised his soul guide cannon and quickly began to aim. The energy in the barrel gathered rapidly. In order to deal with Huo Yuhao's soul guide bomb, he deliberately sacrificed a certain amount of the power of the destructive cannon and strengthened the charging speed.
The purpose was to be able to take the initiative, or to intercept the soul guide bomb in mid-air when Huo Yuhao threw it.
If successful, Huo Yuhao would have no means to continue attacking or defending, and his soul guide cannon would still have follow-up attacks, so victory would be assured.
But to his surprise, Huo Yuhao had no intention of throwing the bomb. Instead, he held it tightly in his hand, and from a distance of several dozen meters, he gave a meaningful smile towards the tall building.
The next second, the undead bomb was in Huo Yuhao's hand, emitting a silver-white light.
"Is he crazy?" Gao Dalou had never expected that Huo Yuhao would not throw the bomb, but detonate it directly in his own hand.
But just as the shock had not yet worn off, a chill instantly crept up the spine of the tall building, making my scalp tingle.
The sudden violent shock swept into my mind like a gust of wind, accompanied by a strong dizziness. The view from the tall building was already in chaos.
The destructive cannon that was charging up power slammed to the ground with a bang, and the chaotic fluctuations of his soul power made it impossible for him to use any soul guide device.
The tall building lay on the ground, motionless, as if he had lost consciousness.
"what?"
Not only the three referees, but also the spectators outside the stadium had no idea what was going on.
Huo Yuhao stood on the field and said calmly to the chief referee outside the competition area: "Referee, you can decide the winner now."
"What did you do? Did you use any other soul skills?" The chief referee asked in surprise, who was outside the confrontation area and not affected by the undead bomb.
"I can assure you of that, no." Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
The chief referee thought for a moment and announced, "Number 99 wins this match."
Even those gamblers who only cared about the results were greatly shocked by the course of the game. Everyone only saw a beam of light coming from the soul guide bomb in Huo Yuhao's hand, and the tall building dozens of meters away collapsed on its own.
Countless people who bought tall buildings and won denounced the shady dealings, but they were suppressed by the people from Xishui League.
Only Huo Yuhao knows the reason.
The undead bomb in his hand will send out an indiscriminate, large-scale soul shock to the surroundings the moment it explodes.
The level 5 undead bomb just happened to stun Gao Loulou, a level 5 soul master.
About five minutes later, Gao Dalou finally crawled up from the ground, still a little confused.
"What's going on? What happened?" He muttered, trying to figure out the current situation.
“Brother Gao, I’m sorry, you lost.” Huo Yuhao walked up to him and said with a smile.
"I lost?"
Upon hearing the news, Gao Dalou was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned extremely pale. He collapsed back to the ground, his legs became weak, and he couldn't stop shaking.
Seeing him like this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly checked Gao Dalou's mental fluctuations.
Logically speaking, he is a fifth-level soul master, and the fifth-level undead bomb should not leave any sequelae.
Fortunately, the spiritual fluctuations of the tall building were only slightly up and down, and there was no damage.
"It's over, it's over...it's all over..."
Gao Dalou supported himself with his hands on the ground and kept repeating it.
“Brother Gao, what’s over?” Huo Yuhao asked with concern.
Gao Dalou panted, his voice trembling: "I bought all my savings and all the rewards from the previous rounds of competitions to win it myself."
"It's all over now..."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
He was silent for a moment, then smiled and invited Gao Dalou: "Brother Gao, money is only a part of our life, how about we find a place to sit down?"
Gao Dalou nodded with a bitter look on his face.
Seeing Gao Dalou agreed, Huo Yuhao thought quickly in his mind.
Maybe he could ask Gao Dasha to do him a small favor.
Chapter 347 Another Confrontation
Green Hotel, restaurant, a table by the window.
Huo Yuhao was sitting at the table with Gao Dalou, his opponent from the soul guide competition.
There were several delicious dishes on the table. Gao Dalou kept picking up the dishes and putting them into his mouth, but from his distressed expression it was clear that he was finding them tasteless.
In a corner not far from the restaurant, two disciples of Minglei Douluo, Huang Zhengmok, were secretly observing this side.
Mercer whispered, "What is Saint Son doing? Why doesn't he just kill him and take the ranking knife?"
Huang Zheng said: "Be patient, Lord Saint, there must be a reason for this."
The whispers between the two did not escape Huo Yuhao's mental detection.
Gao Dalou made a bitter face and asked, "Brother, I still don't know your name?"
“Let me keep your name a secret for now. Why do we need to know each other before we meet?” Huo Yuhao smiled slightly.
Gao Dalou stammered, "Then... Brother, can I make a small request..."
"What request?"
"Isn't it a little bit missing to just eat vegetables?" Gao Dalou showed an embarrassed expression, "Brother, do you... do you feel a little thirsty?"
Huo Yuhao nodded.
