"Yes, the rule for participating in the competition is to make your own soul tool." Huo Yuhao was immersed in the powerful energy of the charged shotgun, and his mind immediately began to think about how to properly use the gun.
The man nodded slightly, smiled, and stood aside, gesturing for the next person to come forward for testing, but his gaze remained subtly fixed on Huo Yuhao.
The next Soul Master stepped forward, looking at the dummy changing its armor with a complicated expression.
"Dude, you're amazing! What kind of soul tool is that?"
"Hey, hey, just luck, I guess." Huo Yuhao waved his hand, slung the charged shotgun over his back, and waited quietly for the test to end.
There were a total of 30 Soul Masters participating in the competition, and 24 of them passed the production stage.
Fortunately, the Soul Tool Competition at the Aodu Building was only open for sale after all testing was completed, which gave Beibei and the other two some time.
"You bitch, did you bring enough money?"
"We just won a lot, let's bet and leave."
The storage ring distributed by Xu Sanshi's Aodu Chamber of Commerce contains the spoils he won.
The inspection of the soul tool was completed quickly, and the silver-ranked judges began to score.
Several people around Huo Yuhao were eliminated due to the poor quality of their soul tools, and in an instant, the area around him was empty.
"Hey bro, what's the name of your soul tool? It's so cool!" A middle-aged soul tool master suddenly asked Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and said, "I saw this soul tool in the Tang Sect display case above. It's called a charged shotgun. You should have seen its power just now."
When you're out and about, remember to give up on the Tang Sect. Huo Yuhao still remembers the Sect Master's instructions.
"Tang Sect?" the middle-aged Soul Master asked疑惑地. He thought for a while, then suddenly asked the other person beside him, "Did you see this guy's Soul Guidance Device in the Tang Sect's display area before?"
"No, such a cool soul tool is bound to leave a deep impression. And, brother, are you perhaps a soul tool master from the Tang Sect? How come you have the design blueprints? The Tang Sect doesn't sell these, does it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two Soul Masters immediately cast scrutinizing glances at Huo Yuhao.
"Brother, you wouldn't happen to be a desperate fugitive, would you? Or a notorious bandit?"
Huo Yuhao was extremely embarrassed upon hearing this. He had only casually typed "GG," so how did he end up being considered a master thief?
"No, my two brothers, you've got it wrong!" Huo Yuhao said with a helpless smile.
"Brother, we're not exactly kind-hearted people, but I still have to say, brother, you've got guts!" the middle-aged Soul Master said with a grin, seemingly convinced that Huo Yuhao had stolen the design blueprints.
"I already said I'm not. This world is vast." Huo Yuhao smiled but remained silent.
"It seems I was wrong, brother. I apologize to this brother first. But, does the Tang Sect still sell such a powerful soul tool? Although I don't have much money, I'd like to try my luck and see if I can get one back!" The middle-aged soul tool master asked with a look of longing.
Huo Yuhao hesitated slightly. He couldn't answer this question. What kind of soul tools Tang Sect sold depended on Ye Nanxiao and Tang Ya's ideas, as well as Ye Nanxiao's workload.
"There should be more, I guess. I was just lucky." Huo Yuhao smiled and gave a vague answer.
I'll go back and ask Nijiang if this charged shotgun will be available in the Tang Sect shop.
The silver-level judges quickly came up with their scores.
Surprisingly, Huo Yuhao ranked sixth, not even making it into the top five.
Huo Yuhao was also surprised by this. He had absolute confidence in the soul tool he made, and the damage test results were obvious to all. The test armor that others couldn't break was broken by him, as was the soul tool shield used for testing.
"Referee, if I have any objections to this result, can I give feedback?" Huo Yuhao did not rush to confront the referee's table in public, but asked patiently.
The Aodu Chamber of Commerce has a very good reputation and is fair enough; a large and powerful organization like it wouldn't be stingy with small rewards.
"If you have any objections, I will help you report them to the referee's table. But are you not satisfied with the ranking of the competition results?" the referee asked.
Huo Yuhao nodded. Just in terms of the quality of the soul tool, his was a level six soul tool, and its power reached the level of a level seven soul tool.
"Please wait a moment." The referee nodded and jogged to the referee's table.
After the competition ended, the Soul Masters who had won their rewards dispersed in twos and threes, while the audience who had taken a liking to the Soul Tools made by these Soul Masters would also make private contact with them.
"Yuhao, is something wrong?" Xu Sanshi and the others quickly came to Huo Yuhao's side and asked.
"Isn't Ye Huli's soul tool more powerful than these people's swords and knives? Did the referee take a bribe?" Wang Dong'er said in a low voice.
Beibei kept frowning. Although he felt something was wrong, he couldn't figure it out for the time being.
"Let's go back first."
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Perhaps the Aodu Chamber of Commerce's test didn't involve any actual combat, so they couldn't really see how powerful the charged shotgun is. But oh well, we didn't lose anything anyway. Paying for the materials is enough for both of us to get what we need."
Just as the group was about to head towards the exit, the referee from before ran back.
"This contestant, the silver-ranked referee did not make a mistake in the decision. If you disagree with the result, you can request a detailed analysis," the referee said.
A hint of resentment flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes behind the mask. He still couldn't understand why his charged shotgun had received such a low ranking. He figured it wouldn't hurt to ask for an analysis.
"Senior Brother, I want to go take a look," Huo Yuhao said.
Beibei thought for a moment and realized that the Aodu Chamber of Commerce might be able to offer some valuable advice, while Xu Sanshi had gone to buy a soul tool and would need some time.
"You're all together, right? Just walk over to the referee's table; there's no need for a separate discussion," the referee said, seemingly noticing their concerns.
Huo Yuhao nodded and walked towards the referee's table.
On the referee's platform, several masked men in long robes sat quietly, as if they had expected Huo Yuhao to come looking for them.
"I am contestant number eighteen. My entry is a charged shotgun. I would like to request an analysis of the competition results," Huo Yuhao said.
Upon hearing this, the men exchanged glances.
"If you had made this yourself, getting first place wouldn't be a problem. But the problem is, you didn't make this soul tool!"
The long-robed man sitting in the middle spoke calmly.
"Hmm?" Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious.
Before Huo Yuhao could make a move, eight figures had already appeared in the audience.
Bei Bei and Wang Dong'er's expressions changed, but they remained calm. They remembered that this was the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, and they were from the Tang Clan.
"Young man, don't be nervous. This group of people is returning from evacuating the crowd. My name is Chong Ying, and I'm in the ninth hunter squad. I'm here to rest today." The man sitting in the middle reached out and took off his mask, revealing an ordinary face, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.
"Hunter Team!"
The latest novel is first published here!
Huo Yuhao and the others were startled, but then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought I'd stumbled upon some shady dealings, but it turns out they were allies.
Chong Ying smiled and said, "Sorry, young man. We're used to fighting, so we're not very good at getting along with people."
"Okay, it is indeed a bit scary, but why did Mr. Chongying rank them in this way?" Huo Yuhao asked.
Chong Ying stood up, walked out of the referee's table, and came to Huo Yuhao.
"The reason is simple: because you're making our weapons."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pale red charged shotgun appeared in Chongying's hand.
"You must be guests of the Tang Clan. The hunters' weapons were developed in collaboration with the Tang Clan's Vice Sect Master."
Upon hearing this, Beibei chuckled twice and then reached out to remove the mask from her face.
A flash of lightning appeared in his eyes, and a Tang Clan token appeared in his hand.
"Since we're a hunter team, we don't need to hide it. We initially had some disagreements about our teammates' rankings, but now it seems quite normal."
Hunters' weapons are all exclusive soul tools and will not appear on the market.
This competition will only showcase the top five soul tools.
Ranking sixth is like an uncrowned crown for Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao's feigned indifference began to crumble.
I used the mud paste to line the table, thinking it was a discarded draft!
This is awkward.
"So it's a hunter's weapon. I thought... well, I saw these design drawings in the vice sect leader's office. There were no data, so I thought it was a draft and was trying to improve it. This is the first time I've taken it out tonight." Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head, handing his charged shotgun to Chong Ying.
Chong Ying shook his head slightly. "What you built is yours. Just don't let the design blueprints leak out."
Chong Ying was quite polite to the Tang Sect, the cooperative sect designated by the behind-the-scenes boss. After all, the boss's attitude towards the Tang Sect spoke volumes.
In addition, many of the weapons used by their hunters were crafted and manufactured with the help of the Tang Clan.
At this moment, several hunters escorted Xu Sanshi back.
Xu Sanshi swaggered around, as if the hunters around him were his bodyguards. Upon seeing Bei Bei and the others, he waved, "Bei, these are all friendly forces!"
Beibei really wanted to turn her head away and pretend she didn't know that bastard Xu Sanshi.
But he could only nod and agree, "Yes, so they're allies. Are you using them as bodyguards?"
Xu Sanshi chuckled, "These brothers seem to get along quite well!"
Chong Ying smiled slightly. "Actually, with the token in your hand, you can hire us as bodyguards, but it won't be cheap."
The group exchanged glances and smiled.
"Speaking of which, guests, you're here to have fun tonight, right? Why don't you go to the inner area? What you've seen is the outer area; the real good stuff is in the inner area. However, there are quite a few of our brothers who are resting there enjoying themselves."
Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Huo Yuhao exchanged a glance, their smiles bright.
"Let's play! Let's go!"
Their identities have been revealed, and they even have allies; this is bound to go on for a few rounds!
Make a killing off the boss of Aodu!
