Chapter 505 Sneak into Xishui League!
Many people know that this is the day when the Continental Soul Master Competition is being held in the Sun-Moon Empire.
However, what most people don’t know is that there is another competition also running at this time.
That is the underground black market soul guide competition held in the undercurrent area of Mingdu, also known as the Mingdu Soul Guide Elite Competition.
This competition is different from the Soul Master Competition. This competition focuses more on a person's ability to make soul guides.
This is an economic feast specially created for soul guides, where contestants will showcase their most sophisticated soul guide skills.
The final winner of this competition will not only receive rewards provided by the three major organizers, but also a large amount of rare metals.
As for why this Soul Instructor Elite Competition was chosen to be held at this time?
The reason is actually very simple.
Regent Xu Tianran hates gambling very much, and has expressly prohibited anyone from gambling in this Soul Master Elite Competition.
This caused those who liked gambling to get very eager, and eventually led to the establishment of this unofficial Soul Guide Elite Competition, which was organized by underground forces.
The organizers are Pingfan League, which is in charge of Mingdu's erotic industry; Aodu Chamber of Commerce, which is in charge of killer guilds, thieves guilds and other evil forces; and Xishui League, which is in charge of the sale of medicines and arms, and also part-time in the human trafficking industry.
The three major underground forces have been able to survive for so long, naturally they all have their own backers. At the same time, the three major forces are all suspected of buying and selling rare metals.
Therefore, it is very normal to be able to provide so many rare metals for the production of soul guides and as prizes for the winners of this competition.
However, whether the three major forces can successfully hold this Soul Instructor Elite Competition has become a problem.
The two black shadows that were observing from above the venue of the Elite Soul Master Competition were seen heading towards a hotel under the Xishui League.
One of the men in black said, "Is this the headquarters of Xishui League? It looks ordinary. It's hard to imagine that Xishui League, the strongest of the three major underground forces, would choose this place to establish its headquarters."
Another man in black responded, "Maybe it's because they don't want to attract too much attention? Besides, it's unknown whether this is the headquarters of the Xishui League. Maybe it's just a small base."
"That's true. By the way, Xingyu, are you okay using your soul power like this?" the man in black asked with concern.
The man in black patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Na'er. My Star Soul clone also has the ability to absorb the energy of heaven and earth to replenish itself."
"Even without the energy I inject into you, it will be no problem for you to sustain yourself for a week."
"Then why didn't you use this trick to counter my secret book last night?" the man in black teased.
This made the other man in black say awkwardly: "I prefer to rely on myself for that kind of thing."
That’s right, 80% of the people who see this can discover that the two men in black are Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena.
As for why Xu Xingyu could appear here while participating in the Soul Master Competition at the same time?
This is thanks to what he called the Star Soul Clone.
The so-called Star Soul Clone is the eighth soul skill obtained by Xu Xingyu after fusing with the soul of Pure Flame Red Lotus Xiyana.
To put it more simply, its ability is an enhanced version of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
By distributing one's soul power, one can create countless clones, and when these clones disappear, their memories will be inherited by the main body.
Unlike multiple shadow clones, these created clones have stronger defenses and will not be destroyed by the slightest effort.
At the same time, the main body can control the size of the soul power in the clone's body at will, and there will be no plot such as the clone's rebellion.
Because the wills of all clones are linked to the main body Xu Xingyu, the clones can disappear at any time as long as he wishes.
The current situation is that Xu Xingyu used the soul skill of Star Soul Clone to create an avatar with a cultivation level of 79 to participate in this elite soul master competition on his behalf.
As for myself, I am searching for clues about the Holy Spirit Church together with Gu Yuena through the evidence left by Lan Du.
Among the clues left by Lan Du, what Xu Xingyu cared about most was the clues about Xishui League provided in these evidences.
In addition to the transaction records with Xu Tianran, he had the most transactions with Xishui League.
If we only look at the purchase of rare metal materials, we can't see any problem.
But in addition to rare metals, Lan Du seemed to have other transaction records with Xishui League, but the specific transaction content was not recorded.
It just looked like rather than a transaction, it looked like they had a collaborative project and wanted to make something together.
As someone who has read the original novel, Xu Xingyu knows that Xishui League is actually the external industry of the Holy Spirit Church, so it can be completely regarded as a mask carried by the Holy Spirit Church.
So Xu Xingyu knew without any doubt that there was definitely something wrong with the Xishui League, and what they were planning to do with Lan Du was definitely not simple.
According to the above information, the hotel he and Gu Yuena are about to arrive at is either the headquarters of the Xishui League or an important stronghold.
All the transactions between Lan Du and Xi Shui Meng were conducted in this hotel. If there were any important clues there, this would have to be it.
This is also why Xu Xingyu chose to lurk in this hotel of Xishui League at this time.
According to the information Xu Xingyu learned, this hotel is also the venue for the Xishui League to hold the qualifying round of the Elite Soul Instructor Competition.
In order to avoid conflict with the Elite Soul Master Competition, all Elite Soul Master Competitions are held in the evening.
Considering that the morning and afternoon are the time for the Elite Soul Master Competition, the flow of people and guards should be the least at this time.
After all, at this time most of the staff are either preparing for the Soul Master Competition in the evening or taking leave to watch the Soul Master Competition.
In such a situation, it would be best to conduct a stealth operation.
Anyway, Xu Xingyu didn't really want to fight for the Xishui League like Huo Yuhao did in the original novel, and then take this opportunity to see if he could infiltrate the Holy Spirit Church.
Although he had learned some of Ilex's necromancy spells, to be honest, he was not very proficient in them, and he had no interest in staying with the evil soul master for a long time.
As for those rare metals, Xu Xingyu was very interested in them. After all, there was no shortage of rare metals when developing battle armor and mechas.
Anyone who knows how to use them will not complain about having too many rare metals. At most, they will complain about having too little storage space.
However, Xu Xingyu has his own way of obtaining these rare metals. Although this method is a bit crude and unreasonable, considering that they were stolen from the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Church, he has no guilt.
