Zheng Zhan finally shouted loudly, announcing the winner of the second semi-final.
Even he had never seen such a scene. Did he doubt that these fragments on the ground were really the powerful and mysterious evil soul masters?
On the podium, Xu Tianran held the handle of the chair tightly, said nothing, and left under the escort of Orange.
Zhongli Wu glanced coldly at the field and left.
Ma Xiaotao of the Holy Spirit Sect team stood up slowly, saying without any emotion: "Useless trash."
The auditorium was filled with cheering people, and no one knew that undercurrents were surging in the capital.
Chapter 374 Chaos is Coming
The semi-finals of the Soul Master Competition have ended, and the two teams that will eventually participate in the finals have been decided, namely the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and the Snow Demon Sect team from a foreign country.
The second semi-final battle was definitely the bloodiest match since the start of this tournament. First, Huo Qiuer killed two evil soul masters in a row in the individual elimination match, and then in the team battle, the disciples of the Body Sect led by Long Aotian slaughtered all the players of the Holy Spirit Sect without leaving a single one.
Long Aotian, whose martial soul has awakened to the silver level, is like a god of war in front of all the evil soul masters and no one can defeat him.
But the bloody battle scene did not cause discomfort to the audience, but made them excited. The Snow Demon Sect, which had killed so many evil soul masters, had become their heroes.
Zhongli Wu's mood had become extremely gloomy.
The sudden loss of so many young masters, coupled with the destruction of many strongholds within the sect due to hunting a few days ago, caused heavy losses within the sect, and he, as the sect leader, felt extremely sad.
Finding and training evil soul masters is much more difficult than training ordinary soul masters.
This is not the worst news. Zhongli Wu can feel that Xu Tianran is very dissatisfied with him because of the defeat of the Holy Spirit Sect in the Soul Master Competition.
Zhongli Wu narrowed his eyes and looked at Huo Qiuer's figure from a distance.
As long as they can capture the Golden Dragon Saint, all the losses will be worth it. If Huo Qiuer is successfully brainwashed, the Holy Spirit Church will use all its resources to train an Extreme Douluo Evil Soul Master with extreme power, no weaknesses, and no fear of light.
With the addition of the Fire Phoenix Saintess and the Holy Son, the Holy Spirit Church will be the most powerful force in the world for nearly two hundred years.
With this thought in mind, Zhongli Wu brought Zhang Peng and others to the Qingse Hotel of Xishui League.
Seeing Feng Ling, Zhongli Wu asked directly: "Xiao Feng, has the Holy Son not returned yet?"
Feng Ling was extremely surprised by Zhongli Wu's question: "No, did the Holy Son not participate in the Soul Master Competition?"
Zhongli Wu said calmly: "It's better not to participate. We can't lose the Holy Son again."
He briefly explained the situation of the game. The news that the Holy Spirit Team was completely wiped out in the semi-finals made Feng Ling and others stunned.
After coming to their senses, Feng Ling and the others gnashed their teeth and said, "What a wicked sect! How dare they be so rampant!"
Zhongli Wu raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and said calmly: "The Golden Dragon Saint will represent the Ordinary League to participate in the finals of the Soul Instructor Competition in the Western Suburbs tomorrow. We must take this opportunity to welcome the Golden Dragon Saint back to the Holy Church."
……
The final of the Soul Master Competition will be held one day after the semi-finals and the night before the finals. The three major underground forces will send three soul masters selected from their respective regions to participate.
There are nine contestants in total, and there are countless possibilities for the final results of the competition. With the joint and vigorous publicity of the three major underground forces, it has attracted countless spectators and gamblers.
The top three in the finals will receive generous rewards, including powerful ninth-level soul guides and abundant rare metals.
The underground forces they each represent can gain huge profits by controlling the smuggling of rare metals.
Green hotel.
The Xishui League was about to set off, and the hotel lobby was under full martial law, crowded with a large number of men in black.
The eyes of the Third Elder were filled with anxiety and anger: "Deputy Leader, what should we do? Not only has the Holy Son not appeared, but even number 88 has disappeared."
The only player Xishui League could send out was Huang Zheng. How could they possibly be a match for the other two major forces?
Feng Ling's eyes turned cold: "There is no other way, Third Brother, send your two disciples to take over temporarily. When the time comes, you must use any means necessary in the soul guide competition."
What this means is that if the soul guide manufacturing is not as good as others, then the martial soul can make up for it.
The third elder murmured, "This is the only way."
He could only choose two weaker disciples. Their talents were far inferior to Huang Zheng's and they were only level five soul masters. However, as evil soul masters, their combat effectiveness could not be underestimated.
Feng Ling frowned slightly. She and Zhongli Wu had already asked the Supreme Master and learned that there was nothing wrong with the restrictions on the Saint Son, and that the Saint Son was now very safe.
Where on earth has the Son of God been? He has not been seen for such a long time and he doesn’t even care about the Soul Master Competition and the Soul Instructor Competition.
Such laxity and disregard for the interests of the holy religion require serious criticism and education.
Feng Ling was extremely anxious, but they were busy recently and had no intention of supervising the Son of God. They could only wait until the Soul Master Competition was over.
"Let's go. I will hide in the crowd with the other elders." Feng Ling gave the final order, and the figure in a black robe disappeared into the Xishui League's team.
The person in charge became the leader of Xishui League, Nangong Wan. He waved his hand and led the Xishui League members to board carriages and head towards the western suburbs of Mingdu. Among the Xishui League members, there were countless experts from the Holy Spirit Cult.
At the same time, Pingfan League, Qingxia Hotel.
As departure approaches, final preparations are also being made here, and the place is filled with people.
Huo Qiuer appeared in front of Shangguan Weier as promised. Standing with Shangguan Weier were two other contestants.
When he saw Huo Qiuer again, Ye Guyi was slightly stunned and his eyes were complicated.
"You're finally here." Shangguan Weier smiled sweetly, "Now that everyone is here, the future of our Ordinary Alliance will depend on the three of you to guard it."
"I promise you that if you win the championship, not only our Ordinary Alliance, but also the Prince will reward you handsomely."
The biggest backer behind the Ordinary Alliance is a powerful prince in the palace. If he can help the prince gain control of the smuggling of rare metals, his status in the palace will rise even higher.
"Let's go." Shangguan Wei'er said nothing more and gestured for everyone to walk out of the hotel.
At this moment, a deep and deep voice suddenly sounded in the hotel lobby.
"Not urgent."
Shangguan Wei'er's expression suddenly changed: "Who?"
Of course, it was not her beauty that allowed her to roam the underground of Mingdu for decades. Shangguan Weier was a powerful soul master in her own right.
But when that voice sounded, the pressure contained in it made even her tremble with fear.
Shangguan Weier was in a daze and saw a slightly sloppy old man appear in front of her at some point, holding a wine gourd in his hand.
Next to him, there was another tall and strong old man, who was equally unfathomable.
The two people were Du Bu Si and Xuan Lao.
"Protect the leader!" someone from the Ordinary Alliance shouted.
"Humph."
Du Bu Si just snorted and stood beside Huo Qiuer without moving an inch. No one in the entire hall dared to move.
"Number 92, who are these two...?" Shangguan Wei'er quickly regained her composure after years of experience in the underground.
She realized that Du Bu Si must be related to Huo Qiuer, and she showed a calm and natural smile.
Huo Qiuer answered as a matter of course: "I'm a little scared to go to the suburbs to compete alone. It's normal to find some experts to protect me, right?"
Even with the psychological quality that Shangguan Wei'er had developed over the years, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
She had seen many ninth-level soul masters in the palace, but had never felt such strong pressure. These two people might already be Super Douluo.
Shangguan Weier raised her eyebrows, bowed respectfully, and smiled again, "Slave Shangguan Weier, could this be the real body of the Heavenly Soul?"
Her accurate guess surprised Du Bu Si: "How did you guess that, little girl?"
Shangguan Weier explained: "If I am not mistaken, this No. 92 is Miss Qiu'er who shined in the semi-finals of the Soul Master Competition yesterday."
"I was also shocked by the victory of the Snow Demon Sect over the Holy Spirit Sect. There are very few forces in the entire continent that can display such strength. Based on the martial spirits of the Snow Demon Sect and others, I dare to guess that the Snow Demon Sect is the famous Body Sect."
The intelligence system of the Ordinary League was already well-developed, and Shangguan Weiler was paying close attention to the Holy Spirit Sect which was related to the Xishui League, so she guessed it was almost correct.
"You guessed right." Du Bu Si was very pleased with her flattery. On the other hand, Old Xuan next to him looked unhappy when he heard this.
Although Shrek Academy was not mentioned, this statement secretly made the Body Sect suppress Shrek by several points. After all, both Shrek teams were eliminated in the quarterfinals.
"I didn't expect that Miss Qiu'er is not only quite accomplished in soul guides, but even more so in martial spirits."
Shangguan Weier continued to flatter, while looking at Mr. Xuan who was drinking on the other side: "I wonder who this senior is...?"
Xuan Lao just uttered three words calmly: "Shrek."
"So this is the holy land of soul masters, Shrek." Shangguan Wei'er was about to praise Shrek's eternal glory, but her ability to read people's expressions made her stop talking rationally.
Two Shrek teams were eliminated in the quarterfinals not long ago. Isn't it tactless of me to bring up this issue again?
Shangguan Weier said with longing in her eyes: "In fact, Shrek has always been a holy place for soul masters that I want to visit in person, but I have never left the Sun Moon Empire, which is a pity."
Being able to become the leader of the Ordinary Alliance, one of the three major underground forces, Shangguan Weier is naturally very capable in all aspects. Facing two peerless strong men from the top forces, she handled them calmly without being humble or overbearing.
Du Bu Si was very satisfied with Shangguan Wei'er's performance. He didn't waste any words and asked directly, "I heard that the reward for this underground soul guide competition is a level nine fixed soul guide shell. Is that true?"
Seeing Du Bu Si asking about the reward, Shangguan Wei'er was secretly delighted and quickly replied, "Indeed, there are not only level nine fixed-type soul guide shells, but also a full ton of various rare metals."
If Du Bu Si has something to ask for, then she can please him and gain Du Bu Si's favor.
Although they are all three major underground forces, the Pingfan League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce cannot truly compete with the Xishui League even if they join forces. The reason is that they have too few high-end combat forces and are no match for them.
But if there were the support of the Body Sect and Shrek behind them, the result would be completely different.
"As long as we can win the championship in the finals, then..."
Du Bu Si simply waved his hand and said, "What are you still competing for? No need to compete."
Shangguan Weier was stunned and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty...?"
"Can't I just go and grab the shell and the metal back?" Du Bu Si laughed.
These words frightened everyone in the Ordinary Alliance, even Shangguan Weier couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Xuan Lao frowned and said, "Du Laoguai, since this is a competition, we must follow the rules of the competition. What's the point of you just snatching it?"
Du Bu Si snorted disdainfully: "In my Benti Sect, we take away anything we like and kill anyone we don't like. It's fun and free, why should we care about any rules!"
Shangguan Weier hurriedly advised: "No, there are several ninth-level soul guide referees at the finals. Ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells are carefully stored and require special means to use. If they are not used properly, they will..."
She swallowed.
"It exploded immediately."
That is a strategic weapon that can directly kill even a Titled Douluo. If Du Bu Si accidentally detonates it during the scramble, there would probably be few survivors in the Western Suburbs.
"Humph, that's fine."
