Douluo: Peerless Light

There are a total of eight high-level soul masters stationed here. The leader is the old man named Xu Guozhong, a ninth-level soul master who has royal blood and is one of the powerful princes.

It can be said that among those who launched the rebellion, Prince Xu was one of the core planners and was deeply trusted by the old emperor.

However, he is not a supporter of Prince Xu Tianran, but the person Xu Tianran has been trying to win over.

It's not because of how capable he is, but mainly because he controls the large arsenal that was just stolen by Qian Chaoguang.

The confidentiality level of this arsenal is so high that it is ranked among the best in the entire Sun and Moon Empire.

Any transfer must be issued by the emperor himself, and even Xu Tianran has no right to make use of it.

Any resources here are under Xu Guozhong's control.

Coupled with his status as a ninth-level soul mentor and prince, he is a real big shot in the Sun and Moon Empire.

As a miser, his biggest hobby every day is to come to the arsenal to count his treasures, especially those on the second and third floors.

Therefore, after going to the palace for a round, seeing that nothing happened anymore, he hurried back immediately.

Whether Xu Tianran dies or not has nothing to do with him. He, Xu Guozhong, doesn't care at all.

His allegiance is to the Sun and Moon Empire itself, and he doesn't care who becomes the emperor.

"Where's Li Chong?"

After walking into the alley and seeing that everything was normal with the guards outside, Xu Guozhong felt relieved and strode into the yard.

Here, he is the only one with keys to all the doors.

The keys to the third and second floors were all in his possession. Even the soul saint guarding the second floor couldn't get out without Xu Guozhong opening the door.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xu Guozhong began to call his cronies.

"Where is Li Chong? Where did he go? Come out to me quickly!"

Seeing that the other party did not come out to greet him immediately, Xu Guozhong felt a little unhappy.

However, there was still no movement.

Xu Guozhong was also an old man. He immediately realized something in his heart and his eyes suddenly froze.

"No, be on guard, I'm afraid something unexpected has happened to Li Chong."

The seven people he brought with him were all seventh- and eighth-level senior soul engineers, and they immediately launched a search.

As expected, Li Chong had disappeared without a trace. The rooms were all empty without any trace of anyone.

Xu Guozhong's expression changed continuously.

Thinking of the treasures in his warehouse, he gritted his teeth for fear of being robbed, and took the lead to enter the outer door of the warehouse.

Soon, the elevator door opened and eight people filed in. Everything seemed normal.

A seventh-level soul engineer was tapping the password on the wall of the elevator.

The result was disastrous. When they were about to take the elevator down, the originally stable elevator suddenly slid down and got stuck in the middle of the descent channel.

This is only possible if the password is wrong.

Not only that, even Xu Guozhong couldn't use the starter key to enter the backstage and forcibly control the elevator. The energy supply system had been completely cut off.

Xu Guozhong's expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "Quickly, force the break! Break through from below! We've been robbed!"

In the western suburbs, the final scene of the soul mentor competition.

The nine contestants have all completed their masterpieces and are now sitting quietly in place, recovering from the exhaustion of their mental and soul power.

In the Ming capital city, the violent undercurrent has become more and more intense.

A large number of soldiers took to the streets and began to impose blockades and martial law. A large number of people wandering out for nightlife were driven back home.

Nearly a quarter of the Sun Moon Palace has been reduced to ruins due to the aftermath of the battle, and all the previous gun ports have been retracted at this time.

All kinds of cleaning, rescue, and repair work are being carried out in an orderly manner.

Orange has appeared here instead of Xu Tianran, standing at the same time as Zhong Liwu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect.

The evil soul masters have all disappeared, and the Dragon King Douluo has long since disappeared.

A guard wearing a light golden robe quickly ran to Orange and whispered something.

Orange nodded, thought for a moment, and passed on the order.

Xu Tianran was seriously injured and his life or death was uncertain.

As Xu Tianran's confidant, Orange must cover up the truth that Xu Tianran was seriously injured no matter what, and temporarily stabilize the situation on the surface.

Therefore, she just told Xu Tianran's men that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been slightly affected by the previous attack and needed to rest in a safe place for a short period of time. She would deliver all orders on her behalf.

Of course Orange knew that she was pretending to be a tiger, and there was a risk of being exposed at any time, but she had to do it.

Once Xu Tianran really collapses, her long-held goal will always become a dream and will never be realized again.

Xu Tianran was using her, but how could she not be using Xu Tianran?

Without the support of the imperial prince and future emperor, how could she obtain military power and launch a war against the Star Luo Empire?

Xu Tianran, Xu Tianran, even if your life is really coming to an end, please try to hold on for a few more days!

In the safe house, several of the top healing soul masters from the Sun and Moon Empire have arrived.

They carry countless precious medicines, all of which are the top scientific research products of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Xu Tianran has been put on a special respirator to replace his lungs that were severely damaged by Mr. Song.

Now his entire body is soaked in a special nutrient solution, and with the efforts of the healing soul guide and the healing soul master, he can barely maintain his body's activity.

Even so, Xu Tianran's aura was still weakening uncontrollably, decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

That cannot be delayed by any medical means or drugs.

The bursts of soul power fluctuations and space shocks caused by the gradual disintegration of the soul core are enough to make any mid- to low-level soul master tremble with fear.

Once the soul core disintegrates, the resulting soul power explosion and space chaos are enough to kill them instantly.

All healing soul masters are die-hard loyalists to the Sun and Moon Royal Family.

Only they have the courage to risk their lives to try to rescue Xu Tianran.

The city of Mingdu was in dire straits, but the scene of the Soul Master Competition was not in dire straits, only fiery.

Seeing that the hourglass representing the end of the countdown was empty, Ye Yulin said solemnly: "Okay, everyone has completed the production of the soul guide. The production time is over. From now on, you can only use the one you made in the next competition. A soul guidance device. Apart from this, you are not allowed to use any other soul guidance device."

"The following is a skills assessment. In the production of soul guides, especially in the production of core arrays, proprietary skills are very important. Only with these skills can a soul master reach the top in the production of soul guides."

"The next thing you have to do is complete some skills within the specified time. The last one to complete will be eliminated."

While Ye Yulin was speaking, his eyes kept glancing towards Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong.

A long knife that looks like an ordinary soul tool, and a humanoid soul tool that looks very awesome. How can this veteran ninth-level soul engineer not be tempted?

But due to the competition and status, he could only hold back his temper at this time and endure his impatience to continue hosting this competition.

Soon, a tray was placed in front of each soul master.

Each tray contains nine different pieces of metal.

"In order to ensure the fairness of the skill assessment, you all need to use the carving knife prepared by the organizing committee to complete the production skills of the nine core formations on the nine pieces of metal in front of you, respectively."

As Ye Yulin made the request, the faces of many participating soul mentors began to look a little ugly.

The nine techniques range from easy to difficult, but all use rare metals that are least suitable for completing these techniques.

It can be said that this skill assessment is indeed a test for many soul teachers, testing whether their foundation is solid.

Using the most common fine steel carving knife for carving, his understanding of soul guides was immediately highlighted.

Following Ye Yulin's order, the nine people each showed their magical powers.

He Caitou's method is simple and crude, just light up a big soul-power-restoring cigar and start having sex.

These cigars are prepared in advance.

As long as he didn't roll out the cigar on the spot, no one would suspect He Caitou. They would just think that this guy was a bit unscrupulous for smoking at the Soul Master Competition.

The referees didn't say anything about it.

It's just a small hobby, and many soul masters have it.

Compared with him, Huo Yutong directly revealed the dark gold fear claws that he had evolved once, without using a carving knife at all and carving them directly with his hands.

Until her last appearance in the Soul Master Competition, no one had been able to force her to use the Dark Gold Terror Claw, so naturally there was no need to worry about her identity being exposed.

Qian Chaoguang's side is even more amazing.

It doesn't matter if ordinary light is not allowed to be used. There is also a kind of light in undead magic - corrosive light.

This kind of light is extremely corrosive to any object, so it is perfect for engraving.

According to Qian Chaoguang's current mental strength and manipulation ability, using corrosive light to carve the core array is just like using a fine carving machine tool, and there is no need to worry about losing control.

Not only is it fast, but the accuracy is infinitely close to 100%.

Looking at everyone's progress, the seven referees couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Especially when looking at Qian Chaoguang, surprise appeared on everyone's face.

As soul mentors, several of them are already veterans who have been famous for decades.

But no matter who among them, when making the core array, they need to use a carving knife to carve it honestly. I have never seen such a rare metal in both hands.

What is that gray light?

Nobody knows.

But they knew one thing very well - Qian Chaoguang's completion speed was too fast.

It only took him less than seven minutes to complete the production.

It was a full three minutes faster than Huo Yutong, who finished second in ten minutes.

The third one to finish was the cabbage. It took him about eleven and a half minutes, and about a quarter of the hourglass was left.

The fourth one to finish was Ye Guyi from the Ordinary League, wearing a yellow skirt.

It can be seen from the skill test that the strength of Qian Chaoguang and the others is completely crushing.

Three people took the top three spots, which made all the elders of the Holy Spirit Sect smile crookedly.

The two leaders of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and the Ordinary League in the audience had extremely ugly expressions.

Especially the president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. The three contestants on their side were obviously the worst. Only one of them completed the competition.

"time up!"

The moment Ye Yulin caught the last gravel and rolled it down, he stopped all the competitors.

Nine people took the assessment, five completed it and four did not complete it.

After the judges came forward to judge, among the four people who failed to finish, the one who was eliminated was from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

The remaining two who barely made the cut were only ranked third from the bottom and first from the bottom, which was simply miserable.

In the rest area, Nangong Wan's smile never stopped.

The three of them took the top three places with overwhelming strength, which was definitely an unexpected surprise.

Now he can rest assured that the championship will definitely be in the hands of the Xishui Alliance.

Although Nangong Wan has never seen Huo Yutong make a human-shaped soul guide before, he has seen the near-body soul guide made by Qian Chaoguang!

He can even responsibly say that in a horizontal comparison of soul guides of the same level, the near-body soul guide made by Qian Chaoguang is the well-deserved number one.

Even Netherworld Thunder Douluo, who is a ninth-level soul engineer, admits that if he were to make a near-body soul guide of the same level, he would never be as good as Qian Chaoguang.

That kind of unique understanding cannot be imitated by other soul engineers.

Netherworld Thunder Douluo, who was a ninth-level soul master, said so, so Nangong Wan naturally trusted him to the extreme.

"Rest for five minutes. In five minutes, the knockout round will begin." Ye Yulin said in a deep voice.

A large number of staff immediately rushed to the competition stage and collected the soul guidance device making tables and various scattered materials.

The nine people who represented the three major forces also stepped down one after another and returned to the rest area to rest temporarily.

As the first place Qian Chaoguang, he has to face the last place from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

What's a coincidence is that the other party actually built a near-body soul guidance device.

What's even more coincidental is that the near-body soul guide he made is also a knife.

At this moment, Qian Chaoguang was closing his eyes and recuperating, waiting for the show to begin, but Xu Guozhong was about to explode with anger.

They finally made a hole under the elevator and got out.

When he came to the corridor on the first floor, looking at the empty corridor and the heavy door, Xu Guozhong's anger almost reached the sky.

Before Qian Chaoguang left, he had completely destroyed the internal structure of the door, and even melted the core into a whole.

Now the only way to open it is to break in and tear down the entire door.

Xu Guozhong and his party, who had no engineering soul guide and were worried about being counterattacked by automatic defense fire, were directly in a dilemma.

But no matter how angry they are, if one Buddha leaves the body and two Buddhas ascend to heaven, the door must be opened as it should.

Xu Guozhong always wanted to see what the inside was like.

There was no other way, so the few soul engineers had no choice but to bite the bullet and start by gradually dismantling the automatic defense soul guidance device, and then break down the door bit by bit.

"It's break time, the first and eighth place finishers from the previous skills challenge are here."

Listening to the host's call, Qian Chaoguang walked slowly onto the stage. He knew clearly in his heart that the prince named Xu should have returned to the arsenal at this time, and was furious with the little surprise he left behind.

But he didn't care because that's what he wanted.

It's a pity that there was no big explosion in Mingdu this time, so he might still be able to survive.

I hope that this ninth-level soul master will not die of cerebral hemorrhage. He deliberately did not destroy the entire structure of the arsenal and only buried a small skeleton deep in the underground palace.

After Xu Guozhong refills this arsenal in the future, he will prepare another second entry into the palace!

Star Douluo Ye Yulin stood in the center of the competition stage.

As the referee of the game, he didn't need to be like this, but he really wanted to see the magic of Qian Chaoguang's knife and Huo Yutong's humanoid soul guide up close.

Therefore, he personally stood on the competition stage as a referee.

As the saying goes, it's not scary to hit a weapon, it's embarrassing for whoever loves it.

The soul master of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce made a strange-looking long-handled sword, which was somewhat similar to a simple sword. It had a long handle, a wide blade, and was very thick.

The head of the knife is only two feet long, but the long handle is as thick as an average human's forearm. It can be said to be extremely ugly and deformed.

The sword made by Qian Chaoguang is entirely silver, and the four-foot-long narrow blade is even decorated with gorgeous gold patterns.

The handle of the knife is wrapped with light prism crystal as a shell, and is carved with a detailed and exquisite dragon scale-like relief.

While increasing the friction, it also highlights the unique beauty, making people feel handsome and attractive at first glance.

In contrast, the long sword made by Qian Chaoguang is like a banished immortal descending from the nine heavens to the mortal world. It exudes an ethereal temperament, making people feel supernatural at first glance.

On the other hand, the Odu Chamber of Commerce player's... uh... weird-looking sword.

I can only say that it looks quite bluffing, but it is full of incongruity, and it feels like they are forcibly mixed together.

However, as the soul master who made this sword, Zhao Shouze from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce was very confident in himself, and looked at Qian Chaoguang with deep disdain in his eyes.

He believed that Qian Chaoguang's knife looked like a flashy silver gun with a wax tip. The fancy manufacturing method and picturesque appearance were all just gimmicks. It would definitely break into pieces when he fought him. .

Ye Yulin looked at both sides and said in a deep voice: "Both sides are familiar with each other and are ready to fight. Let me emphasize that the competition is life or death until one party admits defeat or loses combat effectiveness. If you lose, surrender as soon as possible to avoid injury."

"Qian Daoliu."

Qian Chaoguang's words were full of solemnity and coldness, short and powerful.

"Aodu Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Shouze."

"start."

As Ye Yulin's body rose into the air, the entire game officially began.

This is not a "formal" "discussion" like the continent-wide young senior soul master elite competition, but a real life and death struggle, and naturally there are no means of protection.

Therefore, there is naturally no protective barrier around the stage.

If you are accidentally injured or killed while watching a game, no one will be responsible for it.

Zhao Shouze touched the ground with his toes and rushed towards Qian Chaoguang.

With a swing of the big knife in his hand, a layer of dazzling golden-red flames lit up on the blade, and for a moment the flames were blazing into the sky.

Along with the appearance of the flames, six soul rings, three yellow and three purple, quickly appeared on his body during the sprint. He was clearly a soul emperor.

Is this the soul ring configuration?

It's really a little too watery.

He is definitely the weakest soul emperor Qian Chaoguang has fought so far.

Even the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Sect are not so good.

Facing such a novice opponent, Qian Chaoguang seemed uninterested.

He only made one move.

Raise your hand and swing your knife.

Then, without even looking, he walked straight off the stage.

There is no need to look any further, the results have already appeared.

Qian Chaoguang's faint sword suddenly became extremely sharp and cut through a distance of more than fifty meters at an extremely fast speed.

Zhao Shouze violently activated the long knife, releasing a huge flaming knife, stretching to a length of more than ten meters, trying his best to block this seemingly weak blow.

But in the face of Qian Chaoguang's casual attack, it was all in vain.

The thin sword light directly cut off the wide flaming blade, severed the body of the soul guide sword, and left a blood mark on Zhao Shouze's neck.

Bang!

The blade of the long knife fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Zhao Shouze had an expression of disbelief on his face, as if he wanted to lower his head to see.

But the next moment, a big good head rolled to the ground.

The cross section of the wound was as smooth as a mirror, and there wasn't even any blood spurting out.

If you look carefully, you will see a layer of silver light hovering over the wound, shimmering like a dreamy shadow, blocking all the blood vessels.

It prevents the outflow of blood and also prevents the automatic repair of flesh and blood.

The whole place fell into silence.

The next second, the wisp of silver that was originally just at the wound suddenly enveloped the corpse underground, swallowing it up together with the clothes without a trace, leaving no trace.

Although everyone knows that there are no rules in the competition of underground forces.

But no one thought that with just one move, a young soul mentor with an unlimited future would die here, leaving no trace of his body.

For a while, the sound of air conditioning came and went.

On the Xishui Alliance side, except for Fengling, who was slightly shocked, everyone else could not help but stand up and cheer wildly.

Even Huang Zheng and Merck, who were severely educated by Qian Chaoguang, were no exception.

The melee soul guide can actually explode the power of space. This is simply a genius idea!

Yes, the silver light that swallowed Zhao Shouze was exactly the power of space.

Although the top known space system material on Douluo Continent is currently only Qiankun Star Silver, there are still many high-end materials.

Qianji Copper is one of them.

The main material of Qian Chaoguang's sword was forged from Thousand Machine Copper and Netherworld Iron. He also added some new things that he had recently learned and finally made it.

In a sense, the "sword light" just now can also be called space cutting or space chopping.

Even such a weak force of space is not something that a rookie Soul Emperor like Zhao Shouze can withstand.

It's not strange at all to be killed instantly with a knife.

"The first game is over, Qian Daoliu wins."

Ye Yulin's eyes shone brightly, staring closely at the space blade.

Thanks to book friend 20210724204602184, Traces of Ice, Crimson SS, and the four bosses of Taixuan Sword Immortal for their rewards.
