Douluo: This time we will rewrite our destiny

According to what Bai Tan said, Huo Yuhao and his party quickly turned around the corner. The hotel where the competition was held was as bright as a golden glass lamp in the sparse and deserted streets.

"That's how it is here," Xiao Hongchen said, "Once the curfew time comes, there are only a few fixed places that are lit up. During the day, the places where the sun shines are safe; at night, the places where the light shines are dangerous. This The hotel should be the largest Odu Hotel in this area.”

Huo Yuhao walked at the front. He quickly scanned the area around the hotel to confirm the safety situation.

The architectural style of this hotel is different from that of the guild. It is more like the modern hotels commonly seen in Mingdu. It is obviously closer to the lives of ordinary residents than the bounty hunter guild. I think it will be open for normal business during the day, maybe this time it was just a sudden requisition.

At the front entrance of the hotel, four strong men over two meters tall and wearing tight-fitting black suits stood, looking at the flow of people passing by with cold eyes.

Huo Yuhao took another step forward, and immediately a strong man in black came up to stop him: "The hotel has been requisitioned during the competition and is not open to the public."

"We are here to participate in the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition." Huo Yuhao said politely.

The strong man in black was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face obviously softened a bit. The status of soul masters in the Sun and Moon Empire is much higher than that of other countries. It is never a wise choice to offend a soul master here, regardless of the other party's level. What's more, this competition is indeed important to the Austrian Chamber of Commerce.

"I understand." The man nodded immediately, his expression gradually showing the common respect people have for soul mentors, "The preliminaries are in progress. Please wait a moment while I contact the staff in charge of registration for the competition."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked towards the stairs leading to the underground floor. After a while, a man wearing a snowman hood and thick white clothes came upstairs and quickly came to them. The snowman's hood made this man look top-heavy and a little funny. He had a long carrot nose and black buttons sewn where his eyes should be. For a while, everyone didn't know how this man could see the road clearly.

"Everyone, please follow me." He said, and Huo Yuhao and his party realized that this was a man. "I am the general manager of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce Division in this competition. Just call me Snowman."

This is also the codename of a bounty hunter. Huo Yuhao was a little surprised. Logically speaking, they did not show any identity and should not be greeted by the general manager. Xiao Hongchen seemed to be aware of Huo Yuhao's doubts. He touched the latter's arm, took a step forward, and lowered his voice and said, "Internal response."

Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Hongchen, and then at the man in the snowman hood in front of him. The snowman nodded towards Xiao Hongchen, and then tilted his head at Huo Yuhao. It looked funny but also a little scary.

"Okay, Mr. Snowman." Huo Yuhao said, "What is the registration process?"

"Register a code and pay one hundred gold soul coins as the entrance fee." Snowman said, and Huo Yuhao noticed that his voice was very clean, and it didn't sound like it was spoken by someone trapped in a hood. "But the last step has been omitted, because the noble vampire count has paid the entrance fee in advance for you."

After saying these words, Huo Yuhao felt truly relieved. If this person's head was normal, he would have believed Xiao Hongchen when he said it was an inside job, but people wearing hoods always subconsciously give people a sense of distrust, even if the hoods look childish and funny.

Snowman pulled out a registration form from his coat, and Huo Yuhao noticed that there were already densely packed names on it. "So many people?" He was a little surprised. It was indeed rare for such an underground competition to be held on such a scale.

"Our competition area already has the smallest number of applicants." Snowman smiled and handed over the pen, "But I believe that you and your lover can represent the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and shine in the competition."

Huo Yuhao didn't respond to the flattery. He took the pen and quickly wrote down his and Chi Qiu's code names on the registration form.

"Oh!" Snowman's tone sounded quite excited, "What a codename that suits you two. I believe you will become an impressive being. Then please come into the venue and let me explain this competition to you two. background and circumstances.”

The snowman talks a lot. On the long stairs leading underground, Huo Yuhao learned that the competition system of this soul mentor elite competition was not too rigorous.

The first thing to do is the qualifying competition, and all soul engineers under the age of thirty can participate. The requirement of the qualifying round is to make a fourth-level soul guide, then you can enter the next round and have real qualifications for the competition.

For Huo Yuhao now, this is easier than the quiz at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. However, the level of fourth-level soul instructors is already the backbone of the folk soul instructors in the entire Sun and Moon Empire - no matter how strong they are, they will be able to eat more or less royal food, or have the endorsement of big forces behind them.

This underground competition is nominally for gambling, so the qualifying rounds are naturally indispensable. The method of betting is very simple, just bet on how many people can pass the qualifying round. You can bet on specific numbers, or you can bet on odd or even numbers, or on multiples. The odds vary for each method.

Now, in the small closed square on the basement floor, the qualifying competition for the Austrian Chamber of Commerce Division is officially underway.

Because the production of soul guides does not end in a short time like a combat competition, this first round of competition gave the soul guides three days. The subsequent competitions are also knockout rounds, but the topics of the competitions will be different.

The three major black markets also specially invited a member of the Sun and Moon Empire's royal family and a powerful ninth-level soul engineer to serve as the chief referee. A referee committee composed of twelve soul engineers of level seven or above ensures the fairness of competitions and gambling.

This also made the significance of this competition clear: the royal family, especially Xu Tianran, said they hated gambling on the surface, but the royal family was endorsing this underground competition.

If you didn't understand all this under the cover of night, you would probably think that the Sun and Moon Royal Family's announcement to ban gambling in this competition was very righteous.

At present, more than 100,000 people have participated in gambling on this underground black market competition, and the amount of bets can be imagined.

In order to attract enough outstanding soul mentors to participate, the rewards of the competition are all rare metals.

Starting from the first round, as long as you pass a round, there will be rewards. Even the qualifying rounds are the same. With each round, the rewards will increase significantly.

The provider of the reward, even the Xishui Alliance, does not have such a huge reserve of rare metals. Moreover, in the Empire of the Sun and Moon, private mining of rare metal veins without permission is illegal and a felony. It is equivalent to stealing national property and will lead to jail time. of. Then the providers of these rare metals are also clear.

The three major black markets are also competing with each other, so the competition is divided into three divisions. In the end, the champions of each division will compete again. At that time, the three major black markets will also be betting on rare metals.

Huo Yuhao listened and had his own considerations. Of course, the championship must be won. Winning back these rare metals is of great significance to himself and Xiao Hongchen, the two major consumers of soul tools. In addition, if he can reach the finals of the three major competition areas, he will definitely come into contact with people from the Xishui League.

Now, Xiao Hongchen's team faced the Holy Spirit Sect during the day, and he also had to face the Xishui Alliance at night.

"Originally, there was still a link to confirm the identity of the soul master." Seeing that the stairs were coming to the end, Snowman quickly concluded, "But I won't confirm it with you two. The venue for our competition is ahead."
