In Chapter 809, the elimination round
As the final bomb roared to life.
The fat man collapsed on the ring, his upper body charred black, white smoke billowing from his mouth.
The referee landed in front of the fat man instantly.
Seeing the unconscious fat man lying on the ground, the referee was both anxious and angry. "Incapacitating him is enough, why did you have to resort to violence?!"
Zhang San fanned the white smoke billowing from the shotgun muzzle and shook his head, saying, "Referee, this is not something I can control."
"According to the competition rules, if the opponent falls to the ground and is unable to continue fighting, or falls to the ground and cannot get up, it is considered a loss in the match. The opponent has fulfilled these two points very well, so I think there is no problem, referee?"
The referee quickly waved to the audience, signaling for the medical personnel to come onto the field.
"You could have stopped and given your opponent a chance to react. Your soul tool exploded. Was it intentional or unintentional?" the referee asked.
Zhang San's attack involved firing a large soul-guided projectile from his shotgun.
Given the rate of fire of that shotgun, the fat man had a chance to dodge it.
However, the soul-guided cannonball exploded a second after it flew out.
The fat man couldn't dodge in time and crashed headfirst into the blast radius.
"Of course it was intentional! Fighting is all about surprise attacks and tactics!" Zhang San said confidently.
"Referee, to be honest, I'm actually very knowledgeable about the rules of this competition! I could talk to you about it for three days and three nights."
Zhang San put away his shotgun, adjusted his glasses, which reflected two white beams of light. "How about we talk in my room?"
The referee shivered under Zhang San's gaze, quickly shook his head, walked over to Zhang San, raised Zhang San's right hand, and announced the winner.
On the other side, the queue at Yuheng Tower.
Ye Changlong swung the Thunder Hound Cudgel, unleashing a burst of air before retracting his martial spirit.
Before him was also a ruthless woman, reduced to ashes.
The referee in charge of the match also looked sullen. "Couldn't you have held back a bit? You should have eased up when you saw the opponent was about to collapse!"
Ye Changlong's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "Reporting to the referee! The opponent is a rare and excellent one! And they have a very discerning eye!"
"Such a formidable opponent, I can't let her down!"
"Giving it your all! That's the greatest respect you can show your opponent!"
The referee's face darkened further. He could easily tell that these were all just excuses, even though there was some truth to them.
"You... never mind, never mind anyway, I'm not the referee for your next match, just get out of here!"
Ye Changlong bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, referee!"
In a match, the situation can change in an instant. If you are unable to protect a player who has lost the ability to fight, you will indeed be held accountable. However, it will only involve asking a few questions and writing a self-criticism.
To put it bluntly, this is an elimination tournament, so everyone is definitely holding back. If someone suddenly unleashes their full potential and gets caught off guard, who can they blame but themselves?
In the individual elimination rounds, if one side wins, they can continue the competition if their condition allows and the player is willing.
However, a person can only play a maximum of five matches, because winning all of them will advance them to the next round.
Zhang San and Ye Changlong did not hesitate and immediately chose to attack consecutively.
The teams that got off to a good start weren't just the two teams led by Zhang San and Ye Changlong; other teams also won their first matches smoothly.
In fact, most teams, in order to conserve their strength and keep as many trump cards as possible, will choose to let the players who led the charge continue to play.
In this way, if they win, it will be a victory against multiple opponents, dealing a blow to the enemy while preserving their own strength.
Huo Yuhao originally wanted to take the lead, but Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei excitedly took out several weapon boxes from their storage rings, which made Huo Yuhao's right eyelid twitch wildly.
These two wrecking maniacs actually brought out the soul-guided device from the underground laboratory!!
Sister Xiaoya! Sect Leader! Aren't you going to do anything about this?!
With this thought in mind, Huo Yuhao turned around and saw that Tang Ya had also taken out two weapon boxes and was rubbing her hands together and loosening her muscles.
Feeling Huo Yuhao's gaze, Tang Ya smiled somewhat embarrassedly, placed the weapon box behind her, and pretended nothing had happened.
Huo Yuhao now understands that Ye Nanxiao's underground laboratory should also have a sign that reads "No Trespassing," especially the Seven Heroes of the Tang Clan, oh right, except for him.
He Caitou hugged Huo Yuhao tightly, rubbing his head to comfort him, "It's okay, Yuhao. Do you really think Nanxiao doesn't know that Beibei and Sanshi sneaked into his underground experiment to steal toys to play with?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao thought about it and realized that it made sense.
Ye Nanxiao had meticulously planned the underground laboratory, noting down everything from the storage of soul tools to the smallest detail, all to prevent Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi from getting carried away.
Without Ye Nanxiao's authorization, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi probably wouldn't have been able to open the weapon vault and take out the weapon cases.
Yes, Huo Yuhao has discovered the key point.
But why does the sect leader also have a weapon case? Has he been assimilated by the sect leader's wife?
"Sigh, they're all playful. Luckily, Brother Caitou and I can still stick to the rules." Huo Yuhao said with a smile, and suddenly noticed that He Caitou was carrying a very familiar soul tool on his back.
Upon closer inspection, it even has a serial number on it.
DX-G302
Weapons in the underground laboratory!
He Caitou noticed Huo Yuhao's gaze, smiled awkwardly, said a few words, and slipped away.
Huo Yuhao squatted on the seat, hugging his knees, his eyes filled with envy.
He wants to play too!
Damn it, why was I so honest!
Despite regretting not sneaking into the underground laboratory, Huo Yuhao continued to use his soul skills to observe the surrounding arenas, especially the Sun Moon Team's area.
However, what puzzled Huo Yuhao was that Xiao Hongchen showed no intention of playing; instead, a speed-attack type Soul Master from the Sun Moon Team and Meng Hongchen took to the field.
With the help of powerful soul tools and speed, the agility-type soul master easily won two matches, and then replaced Meng Hongchen.
After Meng Hongchen entered the arena, he did not have a particularly outstanding performance. His combat skills with his soul tool were only average. He did not use any soul skills and relied solely on his soul tool and fighting ability to fight.
Even so, Meng Hongchen's strength was still superior to that of the opposing team. A pair of short blades in her hands transformed into deadly weapons. She easily found the opponent's weakness, knocked away their soul tool, and placed the short blades against the opponent's neck.
As soon as the match ended, Xiao Hongchen went to the sidelines, carrying a water bottle and towel, and came up to greet him warmly.
The actions of the Hongchen siblings might seem normal to others, but Huo Yuhao knew that the two siblings were just playing around and weren't serious at all.
"What kind of progress has Meng Hongchen made that he can't even activate his martial soul?" Huo Yuhao began his analysis.
Outside Sun and Moon Square.
With the Continental Soul Master Competition in full swing, the underworld of Mingdu has also become incredibly popular.
Various black market soul tools, various drugs, and a booming gambling operation are available for sale.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Leaping Dragon Team vs. Aoyu Gate! 1 to 1.3!"
"Imperial Academy vs. Bright Moon Sect! 1.3 to 1!"
"Sun Moon Team vs. Tiger Gate! 1 to 5!"
The sounds of the bookmakers opening bets rose and fell, and the chaotic streets were filled with goods.
A cloaked figure moved freely through this underground world, glancing at each stall and checking out any interesting activity.
People in the underworld are used to this; almost every newcomer to the underworld is like this. Only the merchants have some complaints about it, picking and choosing without buying anything, wasting their time.
However, going around to join in the fun can sometimes make you a target.
"Hey kid! New fish, huh? Want me to show you around?" Several masked men surrounded him, their tone full of ill intent.
The cloaked figure raised his head and smiled at the group of burly men.
If any powerful figure in the underworld were to see the face beneath the cloak, they would be reminded of Xiao Nanye, the notorious troublemaker of the underworld many years ago.
Xiao Ye No. 1, using Xiao Nanye's face, made his way to Mingdu.
His task was simple: find any moves Xu Tianran made and then sabotage them.
Xiao Ye No. 1 was here to cause trouble, so he put on the disguise mask of the mischievous Xiao Nanye.
"I wonder what these gentlemen are planning to do?" Little Ye No. 1 said with a smile.
The burly men exchanged glances. How could this newcomer, this nobody, not be afraid?
Looks like you've seen the world, which means you have a thick wallet!
"We're the tour guides here, responsible for leading newcomers. Where do you want to go? What do you want to buy?" a burly man said.
"So, I am indeed here to buy things, and I have quite a lot to buy," said Xiao Ye No. 1.
"Have you brought enough money? There's a fee to leave here!" The burly men exchanged glances, all of them seeing the excitement of slaughtering the fish.
"Oh, I wonder how much it costs?" Xiao Ye No. 1 cautiously clutched the storage belt at his waist.
This action made the burly men even more excited, and they all became certain that the person in front of them was a big soft fish.
"Hey, look! Wai Lao Si and his gang are about to bully the newbies again!"
"Shh! Mind your own business! Whether you live or die is none of our concern!"
Some of the vendors around them lowered their voices, but it still reached the ears of the group.
Boss Wai turned around and shouted at those around him, "You guys don't need to do business anymore, huh? Why are you so nosy?"
Wai Lao Er and Wai Lao San approached Xiao Ye No. 1 with joking smiles. "Little brother, don't listen to them. We are the managers of this underworld. But you know the rules of the underworld: newcomers have to pay protection money!"
Xiao Ye No. 1's eyes darted around, and he said with a mocking smile, "If I'm strong enough, does that mean I won't have to pay protection money?"
Wai Lao Si and the others exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
Wai Laoda's muscles bulged, and veins popped out on his forehead. "Kid, we're Soul Saints. If you don't want to suffer, you'd better submit obediently. I won't be greedy; I'll leave you a copper soul coin to buy a bowl to beg!"
Xiao Ye No. 1 lowered her head, concealing the upturned corners of her mouth.
"Stop!" A middle-aged man with thinning hair stepped forward, holding a large knife in his hand.
"Damn it, the underworld is already suffering from the Empire's suppression and is in a slump. You guys are going to ruin its fortunes!"
"Gao Dalou! This is none of your business!" Wai Lao Da shouted, about to rush up and teach Gao Dalou a lesson.
Wai Lao Er crossed his arms and looked at Xiao Ye Yi Hao, who was looking down with his head down, with a mocking expression. "What? Can't take it already? Whose young master are you, out here experiencing life? Give me your name, Second Master."
"I am Xiao Nanye, a Soul Master."
Xiao Ye No. 1 raised his head, a bright smile on his face. His cloak billowed, revealing a pitch-black cannon muzzle as big as his head.
"When the cannons roar, gold pours in; I wonder if that's enough?"
