The poison didn't kill him, so he grumbled with regret.
Xuan Lao took a sip of wine and asked, "What are the rules of this final?"
Shangguan Weier had regained her composure and introduced: "The finals are divided into two stages. In the first stage, the first is the soul guide production competition. The requirement is that you can only produce one soul guide."
"Then there will be a contest of skills, which will test the soul guide's production skills based on random questions."
As she spoke, she glanced at Huo Qiuer hesitantly.
Although Huo Qiuer is very powerful in combat, her soul engineer level is the lowest among all nine contestants. If it comes to a competition of skills, she will definitely not be a match for the others.
Elder Xuan saw her worry and asked, "Are you worried that she won't be able to pass the skill test?"
Shangguan Weier smiled and said, "Don't panic, seniors. The skill assessment will be a last-place elimination round, and only the contestant with the lowest score will be eliminated."
"We will certainly not let Miss Qiu'er be eliminated in this round."
She glanced meaningfully at the red-haired girl next to Ye Guyi, whose expression changed slightly.
What this meant was that she should voluntarily give up the skill assessment and let Huo Qiuer enter the next competition.
Ye Guyi watched all this silently with a complicated expression.
"The next step is the soul guide competition. I am looking forward to Miss Qiu'er's wonderful performance in this round."
Shangguan Weier smiled again and said, "The vehicle is ready. Please get in and chat slowly, seniors."
"Don't worry, seniors. As long as our Ordinary Alliance wins the championship, we will definitely give you the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell."
She had already seen the two's desire for the ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided cannonball, and promised immediately.
"No need, our people have already arrived in the western suburbs and will wait for you at the finals site first."
After saying that, Xuan Lao and Du Bu Si strode out of the lobby.
When Shangguan Wei'er looked at Huo Qiu'er again, her eyes were completely different. Her gaze was full of passion, and she gave instructions to those around her.
"Gu Yi, no matter what, you must win the championship of this competition."
"Yes." Ye Guyi responded calmly, without the previous passion in his voice.
She felt a little bitter.
Shangguan Weier had always told her that defeating the evil soul masters of the Xishui League was to defend justice, and she deeply agreed with that.
But in fact, as an underground force, the Pingfan League is not a good thing at all. They just use her as a secret weapon to defeat the Xishui League.
Now, the Ordinary Alliance is using her victory to please the other two major forces.
Similarly, her mission of killing evil soul masters does not seem to be very righteous, because killing evil soul masters can increase her cultivation, and it seems that everything is just for selfish desires.
For a moment, Ye Guyi felt a little confused.
Ye Guyi felt a slight force on his left shoulder. He was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw that it was Huo Qiuer who was patting him.
"Relax."
Chapter 375: Surprised Ye Guyi
The finals of the Mingdu Youth Soul Master Elite Competition was equally grand. Although the number of spectators was only a few thousand, far less than the Soul Master Competition, a considerable number of the gamblers who came to watch were nobles or soul masters, and they were either rich or noble, with almost no commoners to be seen.
It was a very standard competition venue, with a competition circular stage in the middle, a rest area for the players slightly outside, and further outside were circles of viewing stands that went up in a stepped pattern, filled with nobles who came to watch the game.
The top leaders of the three major underground forces have also arrived. People from Xishui League, Pingfan League and Aodu Chamber of Commerce are at three locations of the final venue respectively.
Huo Qiuer has followed Shangguan Weier to the rest area of the Ordinary Alliance. At this moment, it seems that Shangguan Weier no longer has the final say in the Ordinary Alliance rest area, because the people sitting there are the decision-makers of the two top forces on the continent.
There was still some time before the game started, the atmosphere was a bit noisy, and people in the rest area began to chat.
Yan Shaozhe, dressed in white, smiled gently at Shangguan Weier and introduced himself: "Hello, Leader Shangguan, I am Yan Shaozhe, the Dean of the Martial Spirit Department of Shrek Academy."
Shangguan Weier smiled and said, "It turns out to be Dean Yan. It's our first meeting, so I haven't prepared any gifts. I hope Dean Yan can understand."
Although Shangguan Wei'er looked calm on the surface, she was extremely shocked in her heart. There were more than a dozen Titled Douluo in front of her from Shrek Academy and Body Sect.
If she failed to deal with these people in front of her, not to mention destroying a small ordinary alliance under her, she would have no problem tearing down the entire Ming City.
Yan Shaozhe simply greeted Shangguan Weier. It seemed like a normal little thing, but in the eyes of some people it seemed to be a deliberate act.
Xian Lin'er turned her head away and uttered a cold nasal sound: "Yan Shaozhe, you still can't change your nature. When you see a beautiful girl, you will go up to her and chat her up."
Being teased by her, Yan Shaozhe quickly waved his hands, with a trace of embarrassment on his face: "Lin'er, how can you say that?"
Xian Lin'er continued to snort coldly: "What? Did I say something wrong?"
She glanced at Shangguan Wei'er. The real age of this ordinary alliance leader who still had charm could not be hidden from her, but her enchanting figure and beauty were so attractive that even Xian Lin'er had to praise her in secret.
Shangguan Weier raised her eyebrows slightly and observed Yan Shaozhe. Although Yan Shaozhe was old, it was not difficult to tell from his face that he was also a romantic genius when he was young.
And the other woman who teased her seemed to have some story with him.
Shangguan Wei'er's strength is no match for the Shrek people, but she understands both men and women.
So she smiled and helped Yan Shaozhe change the subject: "Dean Yan, Shrek and the Body Sect came to participate in the underground soul guide competition this time, I guess it's for the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells, right?"
Yan Shaozhe nodded.
Xian Lin'er quickly added: "There are other ninth-level soul guides and those rare metals."
Yan Shaozhe frowned: "Lin'er, we just need to take what we need, how can we be so greedy?"
Shangguan Weier hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Dean Yan. If you can win the championship, Weier is willing to give you all the rewards for the championship."
"Because the champion of this competition will gain the power to smuggle rare metals in the entire Mingdu underground. Compared with this benefit, the champion reward is really insignificant."
Her attitude was very sincere. In her eyes, this deal was a huge profit no matter what.
If she could gain favors from the two superpowers, not only would she be able to seize control of rare metals, she might even be able to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy the Xishui League. By then, the power of the princes and nobles behind her would rise to a level that even Crown Prince Xu Tianran could not easily shake.
Yan Shaozhe smiled and nodded, his eyes swept over Huo Qiuer and the other two, and finally stopped on Ye Guyi with some surprise.
He was slightly stunned, and asked directly: "Child, is your martial soul of light attribute?"
Ye Guyi was hesitating whether to answer or not, when Shangguan Weier beside her winked at her: "Guyi, you don't have to hide anything in front of Dean Yan."
Ye Guyi answered truthfully: "My martial soul is a holy angel, with divine attributes."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, Qian Duoduo from Shrek, Xuan Lao at the back, and Du Bushi from the Benti Sect all showed shocked expressions.
It turned out to be a sacred attribute that was much rarer than the light attribute, and it had an unsolvable suppression effect on evil soul masters.
"Good, what a holy angel." Even with Yan Shaozhe's vision, he admired her sincerely.
He quickly asked again: "How is your current cultivation?"
Ye Guyi replied: "Six rings."
"Good, good, good..."
Yan Shaozhe said several good words in a row, and then asked: "Child, I believe that your character must be the same as your martial soul, always pursuing holiness and justice, right?"
Ye Guyi put aside the unhappiness and entanglement in his heart for the time being, nodded firmly and said: "Yes, I am participating in the competition this time to defeat the Xishui League that has ties with the evil soul masters, and kill those evil soul masters with my sword!"
Yan Shaozhe was delighted and asked, "Little girl, do you know who I am?"
Ye Guyi hesitated and replied, "You are the dean of Shrek Academy."
Yan Shaozhe shook his head slightly: "Not only that, I have many identities."
"My martial soul is the Phoenix of Light, and my title is Bright Phoenix."
As soon as the word "light" came out, Ye Guyi's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Yan Shaozhe, and he was a little dazed.
"You have great talent. You have such an impressive cultivation at such a young age, and you also possess such a powerful martial spirit."
Yan Shaozhe changed the subject: "But you made a mistake that young people often make."
"What?" Ye Guyi was no longer as reserved as he was at the beginning, and asked in confusion.
Yan Shaozhe said: "You have the passion of a young man, but you are also a little reckless. Think about it, if you show the Holy Angel Martial Spirit in front of those evil spirit masters, will they let this threat of you grow smoothly?"
"I heard that there are many evil soul masters at the Title Douluo level in the Xishui League, and there may even be Super Douluo."
Hearing his words, Ye Guyi's expression became a little dull, and the light between his brows gradually faded.
Yan Shaozhe's words were not alarmist. Her divine attribute was the biggest nemesis of the evil soul master. With her sixth ring cultivation, she was able to fight against an eighth ring evil soul master.
When she reaches the seventh ring and possesses a martial soul, even weaker evil soul masters, Title Douluo, may not be her opponent. When she breaks through the title, all evil soul masters in the world will be unable to resist her divine light.
But can she live to the day when she breaks through the seal?
Ye Guyi felt a chill suddenly spread throughout his body.
Noticing that the atmosphere was not right, Shangguan Weier interrupted and said, "What Dean Yan said is very true, but the royal family and the prince are standing behind our Ordinary Alliance."
Ye Guyi remained silent.
The more Shangguan Wei'er explained, the more she sounded like she was quibbling to Ye Guyi.
The princes and nobles will protect Shangguan Wei'er, a reliable subordinate, but will they be willing to keep her safe under the intimidation of the Xishui League?
Perhaps from the very beginning, Shangguan Weier only regarded her as a tool to deal with the Xishui League. As long as she could win the Soul Instructor Competition and gain control of rare metals, her life and death and the justice in her heart were dispensable.
Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe continued, "Do you know that our Shrek Academy has been committed to eradicating evil soul masters from the world?"
The Shrek Supervisory Group was an inner court secret, so he did not state it directly.
There was already a hint of admiration and longing in Ye Guyi's eyes when he looked at Yan Shaozhe.
"Dean Yan, you..."
Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "In a sense, the sacred martial spirit can also be regarded as an ultimate martial spirit, and my Shrek Academy's understanding of martial spirits is unparalleled in the world."
He finally revealed his true purpose.
"Little girl, I wonder if you are willing to join my Shrek Academy after this competition?"
"This dean will personally accept you as his disciple, and I promise you that I will allow you to break through the eighth ring before you are thirty."
Yan Shaozhe's gaze was very sincere, without any condescending feeling, which instead made Ye Guyi feel a little flattered.
Her first reaction was to agree, not only because of the great reputation of Shrek Academy, but also because Yan Shaozhe's martial soul was the Bright Phoenix, and he told her that Shrek Academy was committed to eliminating evil soul masters.
Isn't this an ideal place to enforce her justice?
Seeing this, Old Xuan in the distance couldn't help but praise Yan Shaozhe in his heart and reacted quickly.
