Douluo Jueshi: Starting from the massacre of Shrek

Chapter 158 Meng Hongchen wants to poach someone

The night was like ink, the moon and stars were sparse, and a waning moon hung in the sky. The bright silver light spread all over the earth, covering people with a layer of gauze and giving Mingdu a hazy and mysterious luster.

Chu Xinghe took Meng Hongchen to Qingse Hotel again.

Chen An took a few younger brothers to meet Chu Xinghe in person at the entrance of Qingse Hotel tonight.

Seeing the two figures, he hurriedly rushed towards them.

"You're here." Chen An said respectfully.

"Ah."

Meng Hongchen nodded and asked, "What happened today?"

"Three powerful soul engineers have been sent from above to form a judging panel, two at level six and one at level seven."

Chen An said.

"how about you?"

Meng Hongchen glanced at Chen An.

"I had no choice but to take action. I found a reason to welcome important guests before I came out."

Chen An smiled bitterly.

"Not bad!"

Meng Hongchen smiled slightly and said noncommittally.

"Sir, I didn't know about today's competition system in advance. It was announced after the gambling game started."

"The 48 people who qualified in the last round will compete in the knockout rounds in this round. Two soul mentors will form a team."

"There are no longer restrictions on the soul guides we can make. We will provide a variety of rare metals and conventional metals for soul guides to choose from."

"However, the competition time is only two hours. Within two hours, the soul engineers will conduct on-site testing with the soul guides they made."

"Without touching it with your hands, first observe your opponent's soul guide. If you feel that your soul guide is too different from the opponent's, you can choose to admit defeat."

"If neither side admits defeat, they can go to the venue we have arranged, and both sides will use their own soul guides to fight. Whoever wins will qualify."

"Of course, the premise is that you cannot use other soul tools, nor can you use soul skills. You can only use the newly made soul tools."

Having said this, Chen An paused for a moment before adding: "A duel can be described as a life-and-death fight, life or death!"

"Life or death? So today's bet is about who can qualify?"

Meng Hongchen asked with a smile.

"There are still several types of bets, such as how many people will die today and how many people will qualify."

"Of course, the single-game outcome you just mentioned can also be gambled on."

"We will provide a reasonable odds based on the previous rounds of games for your reference."

Chen An opened his mouth to explain.

"One minute before the game starts, bet 1 million gold soul coins on me!"

Meng Hongchen took out a card from the soul guide and threw it to Chen An.

After hearing this drama, Chen An took a deep breath.

A huge gamble of 500 million gold soul coins!

You know, Meng Hongchen doesn't even know who his opponent is, so he dares to place such a big bet.

Moreover, if you place your bet before the game starts, the impact on the odds will be minimized.

This move is not only confident, but also very smart.

"I can't lose."

Meng Hongchen smiled lightly and said, "Let's go in!"

Chen An told Meng Hongchen that her number was No. 66 and her opponent was No. 48.

In this regard, Chu Xinghe could only say that this battle must be won!

One is a six-sixth straight, and the other is dead. Do we still need to compare?

As soon as they entered the VIP room, Meng Hongchen and Chu Xinghe saw No. 96 and No. 98 sitting inside and resting.

These two people came very early today, and they didn't bring their men with them. They just gathered together and talked about something.

Seeing Meng Hongchen come in, No. 96 smiled and nodded to her.

Meng Hongchen also nodded in return, but the arrogance on his face remained unabated.

No. 98 seemed much more indifferent, looking at Meng Hongchen with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Chen An sent the four of them here and left. After all, he still has a lot of things to do.

Chu Xinghe picked up a glass of juice and handed it to Meng Hongchen. Meng Hongchen took a sip when No. 96 stood up and walked over.

"Hello, can we chat?"

No. 96 bowed slightly and greeted Meng Hongchen politely.

Meng Hongchen smiled calmly and said, "Please sit down."

"Can I ask your name?"

No. 96 sat down on the sofa next to him and asked naturally.

Meng Hongchen said: "I am No. 66, and I also know that you are No. 96."

No. 96's eyes flashed, Meng Hongchen clearly refused to tell him his name.

He didn't ask any more, just smiled and said: "No. 66, what do you think of today's game?"

Meng Hongchen's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said lightly: "It's quite interesting. I think it's good to use the soul tool you made to fight."

No. 96 nodded and said: "It seems that we are like-minded. I just saw the draw. We will not meet in this round."

"It doesn't matter if we meet, I will definitely win." Meng Hongchen's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Really? We'll see then."

After saying this, No. 96 stood up, turned around and walked towards No. 98.

At this moment, there was also a hint of disdain on his face.

For a person with such blind confidence, he felt that there was no need to test him.

Meng Hongchen still looked arrogant and did not even look at the two of them.

Want to test me?

When you can beat Chu Xinghe to the ground, you can test my depth.

"Dear guests, the game is about to begin."

The staff came in to inform.

No. 96 and No. 98 stood up at the same time. This time, they did not give way, but took the lead in striding out.

The Golden Hall is still very lively today.

The round platform in the center can finally accommodate all the contestants.

Chapter 48 The soul guide making table is neatly placed on the round table, forming an arc.

Chu Xinghe narrowed his eyes slightly and swept around with his mental power.

He found that the suspended-like VIP area was already full of people, and the general area was even more packed.

Something that has changed in the golden hall is that behind the competition stage, there is another platform. This platform is about five meters above the ground and is rectangular.

<divclass="contentadv">The length is about 50 meters, almost connecting from one end of the Golden Hall to the other, but the width is only five meters.

The entire platform seems to be made of metal, suspended in the air by steel cables.

Is that where soul engineers compete with each other?

Limiting the area to a rectangular shape is obviously to reduce dodges as much as possible.

And seeing this competition area, you will definitely make a choice when making a soul guide.

Soon, Meng Hongchen was brought to the competition stage by the staff, while Chu Xinghe was still watching the competition in the corner.

The soul guidance device production tables are all facing each other. Opposite each soul guidance device is their opponent determined by drawing lots this round.

As for how the lot was drawn, the organizer of the competition, Xishui League, had no explanation at all.

This is a competition held by underground forces, and they don't need to explain anything at all.

Meng Hongchen's opponent No. 48 is a young man who looks 26 or seven years old.

He has a very ugly appearance, with a flat nose, small eyes, and a mess of slightly yellowed hair, with a piece missing in the middle of his head.

This appearance is really unflattering.

But he had a pair of very persistent eyes. He didn't look at Meng Hongchen opposite him at all, but at the various rare metals placed on the competition stage.

All soul tool making tables have a three-layer storage compartment.

Each floor is filled with various metals. The first floor is regular metals, and the upper two floors are rare metals.

There are 32 types of rare metals alone.

Such extensive preparations are enough to even make a seventh-level soul tool.

In order to test the abilities of these soul mentors, the Xishui Alliance can be considered quite generous.

You must know that the soul guide that is produced belongs to the soul-returning instructor himself.

At this moment, in front of the competition stage, three small circular platforms slowly rose, with an old man standing on each platform.

The platform rose until it was about one meter above the competition stage, and then gradually stopped.

"Dear soul masters, distinguished guests, good evening everyone!"

"I am the chief referee of this game. The game is about to start. After I announce the start of the game, the timer will be officially started. The time limit is two hours!"

"During these two hours, all soul masters can make the soul guidance tools that they are good at. You have only one goal, and that is to defeat your opponents and complete this round of promotion!"

The old man standing in the center glanced at everyone and then said loudly.

When he finished saying this, all the competing soul masters raised their heads in unison and looked at their opponents.

Starting from this round of competition, the rewards for winning the competition become very generous.

Meng Hongchen had already learned from Chen An that if he won this competition, he would get 32 ​​kinds of rare metals, two kilograms each.

For a soul master, a complete range of rare metals is definitely more attractive than gold soul coins.

In the next round, it is said that the winner will have five kilograms, and the types of rare metals will increase to 48.

A large part of these rare metals are embargoed by the Sun and Moon Empire, and their value is inestimable.

The yellow-haired soul master opposite Meng Hongchen slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of burnt yellow and uneven buck teeth, "Hello, brother, my name is Gao Dalou, let's have a good competition."

Looking at this thin figure, Meng Hongchen tried hard not to laugh. This tall building was indeed very unique!

However, Meng Hongchen admired his persistent gaze.

This kind of person is definitely not an easy opponent to deal with.

"Contestants, get ready."

The referee shouted in a deep voice.

Gao Shou immediately lowered his head, and his eyes became sharp, staring at a piece of rare metal that he had already thought about.

Meng Hongchen seemed much more leisurely, as if he was not in a hurry at all.

"The game begins, raise the soundproof shield."

The chief referee shouted loudly, and the twelve hourglasses placed in eye-catching positions turned around at the same time.

When all the sand in these hourglasses has drained out, the game time is over.

Because there were not many participants, the soundproof shield was finally raised on the competition stage, and the audience could make their voices heard and discuss freely.

This is why so many people came today.

At the same time, all the soul engineers got busy immediately.

Gao Shou quickly reached out with his right hand, and a piece of rare metal, as dark as ink but with a slightly shiny surface, fell into his palm.

There was an intoxicating light in his eyes, and his hands were gently caressing the beautiful woman's skin.

Meng Hongchen was quite interested in his appearance. He moved his right hand towards the rare metal on the side of the soul guide making table, and suddenly a piece of rare metal weighing one kilogram and dark red in color flew towards him.

As soon as this piece of rare metal flew over, a hot breath hit his face.

This is Yan Yang Iron.

An extremely rare metal that is only produced deep in volcanoes.

Among these 32 rare metals, the value ranks among the top five.

Today, the Xishui League provided so many rare metals, and Chen An is no longer the chief referee, in order not to make himself too obvious.

So when making the soul guide, he naturally had to choose more precious and rare metals.

The situation on the opposite side is almost the same. He has Star Silver Steel in his hand.

Among these 32 rare metals, the value ranks first.

This rare metal is extremely dense and has a strong affinity for soul power.

Any soul power injected into it can release more than double the original soul power through it. It is the best material for making energy-gathering magic circles.

A kilogram like this is worth at least [-] gold soul coins if placed outside.

If Meng Hongchen didn't think so, Xishui Alliance would have spent a lot of money this time.

Of course, for Mingdu, where at least tens of millions of people gamble on ginseng, these are just small amounts of money.

Meng Hongchen looked at Gao Shou's intoxicated look and thought to himself, "Has this guy never seen Star Silver Steel? Otherwise, why would he be so obsessed with it?"

Gao Doushou didn't waste too long. After about a minute, his expression became cautious, and he carefully fixed the Star Silver Steel on the production table in front of him.

Then he touched his right hand from his lower back and took out a carving knife.

Meng Hongchen is not in a hurry to make her own soul guide now. As Jing Hongchen's granddaughter, she can make soul guides much faster than other soul engineers.

Moreover, Meng Hongchen did not plan to make a soul guidance device that was too high in level, so she planned to observe her opponent first to see what level of soul guidance device the opponent wanted to make, and then formulate corresponding countermeasures.

Gao Shou had no scruples at all about Meng Hongchen's observation.

After getting the carving knife, he immediately started making it.

An expert would know if it was there as soon as he made a move. Meng Hongchen felt a chill in his heart when he struck the tall building with the first blow.

The carving knife in Gao Shou's hand was as black as ink and looked unremarkable.

But the star silver steel, which is famous for its hardness, looked like a piece of tofu in front of the black carving knife.

The cutting edge of the carving knife vibrated three times in succession, carving out three uniformly sized houses on the star silver steel.
