Ye Guyi smiled happily and said, "Dean Yan, I do."
Shangguan Wei'er did not express any objection. Ye Guyi was not a member of the Ordinary Alliance. Even if he was, she would personally send Ye Guyi to Yan Shaozhe and would not dare to stop him.
Yan Shaozhe nodded with satisfaction. He didn't expect that this trip to Mingdu would bring him such unexpected gains.
This is a sacred attribute that is not inferior to the ultimate attribute. Shrek has really found a treasure.
At this time, Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er looked at each other and each understood the meaning in the other's eyes.
Xian Lin'er said coldly: "Yan Shaozhe, what do you mean? Why did you accept this child as your apprentice?"
Cai Meir, the deputy dean of the Spirit Department, frowned slightly: "Xian Lin'er, Shaozhe's spirit is the Bright Phoenix. Is there anyone more suitable to be this child's teacher than him?"
Xian Lin'er snorted, "Yan Shaozhe, this kid is participating in the Soul Instructor Competition, right?"
Yan Shaozhe suddenly felt something was wrong and had already guessed what Xian Lin'er was going to say.
"Since she is a soul guide, she should join our soul guide department."
Qian Duoduo agreed: "Not bad."
Naturally, the two were also amazed at Ye Guyi's talent.
Aren’t such powerful soul masters and soul mentors the best candidates for the extreme individual soldier plan?
Just as Yan Shaozhe was about to continue arguing, the dispute was interrupted by an old voice.
"No need to argue anymore, let Shaozhe take care of the child."
The only one who could calm everyone down was naturally Master Xuan.
Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo's faces were already extremely dark, so they stopped arguing and sat aside in silence.
The two of them have become accustomed to this situation.
Since Elder Mu's death, Elder Xuan has served as the head of the Sea God Pavilion, and his preference for the Martial Soul Department has become increasingly obvious.
It's not that they don't provide resources. The Soul Guidance Department has plenty of money and various resources. They just lack talented people to cultivate.
However, freshmen with better talents were basically accepted by the Martial Soul Department.
Originally, the Soul Guidance Department hoped to verify the extreme individual soldier plan through He Caitou, but the results were not ideal.
Before the sixth ring, He Caitou did show extraordinary combat power, but after the sixth ring, He Caitou's training speed slowed down, and as a food-type soul master, there are indeed many shortcomings.
Qian Duoduo felt a silent anger in his heart.
It is clear that before his death, Elder Mu specifically instructed us to devote all our efforts to the development of the soul guidance system. But it is useless to just give funds, we also need to give people.
To be honest, Qian Duoduo's most promising student among the senior students in the Soul Guidance Department is Ning Tian, but he would never let Ning Tian test the extreme individual soldier plan.
There were a few young core disciples in the lower grades who he thought were very promising, but they still had a long way to go before they could grow up.
Now a ready-made powerful soul mentor Ye Guyi appeared, and Master Xuan had no choice but to give him to the martial soul department.
Du Bu Si was not very interested in Ye Guyi, after all, she was not his original martial soul.
Ye Guyi couldn't hide his excitement. He looked at Huo Qiu'er beside him with a firm gaze: "No matter what, I will fight for justice."
Huo Qiuer narrowed her eyes: "So you think Shrek is just?"
Ye Guyi was stunned for a moment.
Huo Qiuer patted her shoulder gently and smiled meaningfully: "I respect your choice and hope you won't regret it in the future."
Ye Guyi fell silent, but his eyes were firm.
If Shrek is really committed to eliminating evil soul masters, then she will definitely not regret it.
Huo Qiuer searched her memory, and her expression became more and more intriguing.
She was very curious whether Ye Guyi could really continue to uphold the justice in his heart, or whether he would continue to waver in the future.
As everyone waited, the Soul Instructor Competition finals were finally about to begin, and the leaders of the three major underground forces all walked to the center of the competition stage.
The host smiled and said, "Today is the final of our Mingdu Soul Mentor Elite Competition. Now, please invite the organizers of this competition, the three presidents, to give a speech."
Nangong Wan, the leader of Xishui League, was the first to speak, saying that he would take out a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell from Xishui League as a champion reward, and had already submitted it to the referee's seat.
Shangguan Weier, the leader of the Ordinary Alliance, pointed out that the champion can freely choose any woman in the Ordinary Alliance and obtain three dragon girls with ancient blood as female slaves.
An Litong, president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, emphasized that he has full confidence in the top soul mentors representing the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and will bet a full 100 million gold soul coins on them.
The three ninth-level soul masters and four eighth-level soul masters at the referee's table expressed their gratitude to the nine contestants for their outstanding performances in their respective competition areas, and hoped that they would continue to work hard and achieve better results in the finals, bringing a wonderful game to the audience.
The game hasn't even started yet, but the atmosphere is already tense.
"The fixed-type soul guide shells were actually produced by the Xishui League."
Shrek Academy and the Body Sect found that they had underestimated the strength of the Xishui League.
Originally, they thought that the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells were an extra reward from the royal family, but they didn't expect that they were given by the Xishui League.
When a force displays a ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided artillery shell, it means that this force has many ninth-level artillery shells behind it.
Chapter 376 The finals begin
The host continued excitedly: "Well, in addition to the generous rewards promised by the three presidents, we have also prepared a priceless final prize."
"Now, please invite the chief judge of this competition, the ninth-level soul mentor, Master Zhang Chenglin, to present the final prize to us."
The luxurious judging panel consisted of seven highly respected senior soul mentors. The old man with a long beard sitting in the center of the seven stood up.
Elder Zhang said very modestly: "In fact, the original chief judge of this competition should have been my good friend, Star Douluo Ye Yulin. But unfortunately, he has been busy with important matters in the palace recently and cannot be away, so he had to ask me to do it for him."
"In addition to a ton of rare metals, the champion reward for this competition also includes a masterpiece of Star Douluo, the Sun and Moon Divine Needle."
After he finished speaking, he raised his right hand and a silver light shot up into the sky from his hand. It grew larger and larger as the altitude increased, and it did not move until it reached a height of one hundred meters.
Old Zhang raised his hand again and threw out a golden ball of light. The two light spots echoed each other in the air and began to rotate.
The strange sight amazed all the spectators.
"Respected Mr. Zhang, could you please introduce this Sun and Moon Divine Needle to us?"
Zhang Lao said with some pride: "This is the masterpiece of my best friend Xingkong Douluo. It is meant to be the Dinghai Divine Needle of our Sun Moon Empire. It is even better than the original Taiyang Divine Needle."
"The Sun-Moon Divine Needle can rise to a maximum altitude of 1,600 meters under the control of the user. If the spiritual power is strong enough, the soul master can use it to scout the situation within a diameter of 30 kilometers from high altitude and carry out precise strikes."
"But I want to remind you that even I cannot analyze this soul guide for the time being. I hope you will not let it be defiled after you obtain it."
In the rest area of Pingfan League, Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er were so astonished by the Sun and Moon Needle floating in the air that they were speechless.
"It turned out to be the work of that Starry Sky Douluo. When will our Shrek Academy be able to produce such a soul guide?"
They had heard a little about some of the powerful men in the Sun-Moon Empire. Starry Sky Douluo was one of the powerful soul mentors who was as famous as Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall.
According to legend, he named himself Starry Sky because he was good at making various high-altitude soul guides.
Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo both had the same thought in their minds: although the situation forced them, it was the right time to come to the Soul Instructor Competition this time.
The two have been stuck at the eighth-level soul mentor level for many years and have been unable to make any further progress, but it is not because of insufficient cultivation.
Now, seeing with their own eyes the ninth-level soul guide device, the Sun-Moon Divine Needle, made the two of them feel the gap between themselves and the Sun-Moon Empire, and at the same time, they had a sense of sudden enlightenment.
The Sun and Moon Divine Needle in front of him was different from other ninth-level soul guide cannons. It did not stick to the traditional barrel form, but was actually two rotating flying balls of light.
Despite its peculiar style, the power contained within it cannot be underestimated, and it is absolutely worthy of the title of a ninth-level soul guide.
Shrek's research on high-altitude soul guides is too inadequate. If he could take this unique soul guide back for research, it would be more valuable than the nine-level soul guide cannons left by Jing Hongchen a few years ago.
The host nodded and said, "Okay, thank you very much for Mr. Zhang's explanation, and I would also like to thank the Starry Sky Douluo who was not present."
"Next, please invite the nine contestants who will be participating in the finals of the Mingdu Soul Guide Elite Competition to the stage. You will be required to make soul guides within a limited time."
"The competition process will be strictly supervised by our seven referees, and any player who breaks the rules will be immediately disqualified and expelled."
On the competition stage, there are nine production tables in three areas, on which are placed various instruments and a wide variety of rare metals.
Huo Qiuer and the other two followed Shangguan Weier and prepared to go on stage.
Du Bu Si laughed loudly: "Qiu'er, just play as you like. Even if you lose, I will take back the championship reward."
Such outrageous remarks made everyone laugh and cry.
The three contestants stepped onto the competition stage under the leadership of their respective leaders.
Xishui League leader Nangong Wan was the first to come, and behind him stood three young men with somewhat sinister looks. All three were disciples of the Third Elder, and except for Huang Zheng, the other two were temporarily sent to fill the vacancies left by He Caitou and Huo Yuhao.
Behind Shangguan Weier, Huo Qiuer frowned and observed the three contestants from Xishui League.
Why wasn't Huo Yuhao among them? Where on earth did he go?
Huo Qiuer did not forget her original purpose of participating in the competition, which was to give Huo Yuhao a surprise in the finals.
But Huo Yuhao did not show up, and she had been unable to sense him since a few days ago.
Ye Guyi's attention was also focused on Huang Zheng and the other two. He could clearly feel the evil aura hidden deep within them.
She remained calm for the time being, determined to eliminate them in the next competition.
Nangong Wan glanced meaningfully at Huo Qiuer behind Shangguan Weier and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The potential of the Golden Dragon Saint is probably even greater than that of the Fire Phoenix Saint.
Shangguan Weier noticed Nangong Wan's gaze and squinted her eyes and said, "Nangong Wan, what are you thinking with your shifty look?"
Nangong Wan snorted coldly: "Sister Shangguan, I advise you to be quiet. Don't think that just because you have someone above you, the Ordinary Alliance can do anything."
Shangguan Wei'er's eyes flashed with a cold light when she heard this.
Chief referee Zhang Laodao said: "Please ask the three presidents to leave. The competition will begin soon."
The three leaders looked at each other for the last time, gave each player a final instruction, and returned to the rest area with a sneer on their face.
There are many ninth-level soul masters in the Sun-Moon Empire, and their achievements and status vary.
The strength of Mr. Zhang in front of him was not outstanding, but because of his seniority, rich network of contacts, and many friends, he was considered to be a relatively prestigious figure among the ninth-level soul masters.
"I won't repeat the rules of the competition anymore. I'll remind you one last time. After the first round of production, you will immediately enter the skills assessment. The last-placed players will be eliminated to determine the top eight, and then they will enter the competition."
“I hope you can retain some energy in the production phase so as not to fail the next competition.”
"Okay, I declare the soul guide production phase to begin!"
As Boss Zhang shouted, a layer of faint white light began to slowly cover the entire competition arena, isolating it from the outside world.
