Douluo's pride

The preliminaries of the Xishui League are located in a high-end hotel in the city center. One of the reasons for choosing this place is that it is close enough to the Mingyue Hotel, so you don't have to walk too much.

Qingse Hotel, a hotel with a very distinctive name, is only a little over one kilometer away from Mingyue Hotel and only two kilometers away from the Sun and Moon Empire Palace.In an absolutely prime location.It's just that the name of this hotel is often called incorrectly, and it's easy to misunderstand it as a hotel.But it also got its name.This is the property of the Xishui Alliance. As for whether the headquarters of the Xishui Alliance is here, no one knows.

On the surface, Qingshi Hotel does not appear to be as large as Mingyue Hotel, with only five floors above the ground, but those who are familiar with it understand that its real strength is reflected in the underground.

At the main entrance of the hotel, stood four strong men, all over two meters tall, in black tight-fitting suits, scrutinizing the passing crowd with cold eyes.

Before the two came close, a burly man in black came up to meet them, and blocked the way of the two as soon as he raised his hand.

"The hotel is closed today, please leave."

"We are here to participate in the Mingdu Soul Engineer Elite Competition." The voice in the mask was muffled, but the coldness emanating from it was not an illusion.

It was a substantive coldness, as if the heart of the faceless man in front of him was also made of ice.

The burly man in black froze for a moment, and the expression on his face was obviously softened. The status of the soul engineer in the Sun Moon Empire is much higher than that of other countries, and it is definitely not a wise choice to offend a soul engineer, even if the other party is not high. .

"Sorry, Mr. Soul Engineer's preliminaries have started and will end soon. You are late." The strong man in black said with a regretful face, but his expression was a little more respectful.

Huo Yuhao said with regret, "That's such a pity. Originally, I thought I could represent the Xishui Alliance in the finals and help you win the championship. Do you think this is good? I will spend [-] gold soul coins. , I will be able to qualify today. Anyway, there is not much time now. If I can't qualify, won't I make a lot of money for you, but if I qualify, it means that Xishui League has a good soul mentor. Participate in the competition. It’s a very beneficial result for you, isn’t it?”

Xue Xiaoran's face twitched, at first she thought it was some kind of trick, but in the end it was a waste of money.

Of course, because of his mask, the man in black couldn't see his expression.

The big man in black was stunned and said, "One hundred thousand gold soul coins, are you sure?" Gambling in the underground world is by no means a secret. Without the tacit consent from above, such a large-scale competition would not be possible.Therefore, the big man in black did not shy away from it, but he was frightened by the amount of money Huo Yuhao said.Even some nobles are rarely so generous.And he still bets on himself. Isn’t he afraid that Xi Shui Meng will use secret operations to obtain his money?

Huo Yuhao nodded seriously and said, "I believe in the fairness of the Xishui Alliance. If you can't make the decision, you can ask the superiors for instructions."

"Please wait a moment." The burly man in black showed a more respectful expression. After a simple salute to Huo Yuhao, he quickly walked towards the gate of the Sentimental Hotel. He quickly entered the hotel after explaining a few words to his companion at the door.

Not long ago, a middle-aged man wearing an elegant white gown came out of the front door of Qingse Hotel.Seeing Xue Xiaoran and Xue Xiaoran standing outside the hotel, he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile on his face, "My subordinates are ignorant. Distinguished guests, please come with me." As he said this, he had already made a request. gesture.

Huo Yuhao was a little surprised by his straightforwardness, and after nodding, the two walked into the hotel.

The interior of the Sentimental Hotel is indeed very green, the layout is very simple, it is not at all obvious that this is the place where Mingdu ranks first among underground forces.Moreover, it is also a very important stronghold of the Xishui League.

The layout of the entire hotel has a moist feeling, with white porcelain decorations everywhere, white porcelain floors, and white porcelain walls.All colors are mainly white and red.

After entering the hotel, the middle-aged man stopped and said, "Two distinguished guests, I wonder who is going to participate in our Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition?"

"Me, and him." Xue Xiaoran pointed at Huo Yuhao with a dull voice.

The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback by the faceless man's sudden opening, but his years of experience in reception made him calm down quickly.

He nodded and said, "I don't know what to call these two gentlemen."

"My name is Wuyan." Xue Xiaoran said lightly, pretending, she must pretend to the end.

Huo Yuhao wiped the sweat in his heart and said, "My name is Tang Si. I'm sorry that my elder brother has such a personality."

They can't be too flattering or too cold, this is the strategy adopted by the two, Huo Yuhao plays the good guy, Xue Xiaoran plays the villain, otherwise Xishuimeng might think that the two of them are easy to bully.

The mere two soul engineers are not particularly advanced and high-profile, and it doesn't matter if they are missing.

There was a gleam in the middle-aged man's eyes. Of course he could tell that this was just a casual perfunctory taste, and it could never be his real name.

But he did not ask further. Many soul masters have special hobbies, and many people have scruples about participating in underground power competitions. There are many people who use pseudonyms, and the method of winning over them in this underground power competition is definitely not It is very important to rely on names and not inquire about powerful soul masters.Only profit can keep them.

"Because the competition has been started for a while, and it will end soon. So time is a bit tight. Could you please show your soul engineer status. I will arrange the competition for you immediately. And you just said about the betting. ..."

The ring in Huo Yuhao's hand flashed, and a dark gold card appeared in his hand, "This is the bank's black gold VIP card. You don't need me to teach you how to place a bet."

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up the moment he saw the ring, and he couldn't help sweating slightly on his forehead when he saw the VIP card again.

This, this is a symbol of identity and status. These two people, or the forces behind these two people, are not simple.

When he raised his right hand slightly, the middle-aged man felt a blur in front of his eyes. There was already a short dagger on Huo Yuhao's right hand. A white light suddenly lit up, and the fierce and fierce sword energy shot up into the sky instantly, and there was a cry in the air. Sharp whistle.

Xue Xiaoran's entire right hand was covered with a thick iron-like armor, and countless muzzles protruded from the armor instantly, each one as thick as a finger.

Cold sweat suddenly dripped from the middle-aged man's forehead.He quickly said, "Calm down, you two, it's confirmed, it's confirmed."

The two put away their weapons afterward, and the middle-aged man felt as if he had walked back from hell. He had never heard of the plate-armored soul guide on the back of his hand.
