Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 296 Omen
Since the Xi Shui Alliance was able to offer the "alternative rare metal" mentioned by Ming Lei Douluo as a reward, it naturally indicates that the alliance has no shortage of sources for such items.

Huo Yuhao and He Caitou have made no attempt to hide their fondness for rare metals in their previous actions, and Ming Lei Douluo believes that such a condition will definitely tempt them.

As expected, Huo Yuhao remained silent for a long time after hearing what Ming Lei Douluo said, and unconsciously exchanged a glance with He Caitou.

He didn't know where the Xishui Alliance's material came from, but if it really existed, it might solve the Sun Moon Empire's blockade of rare metals.

With the materials and the blueprints he has learned over the years, Shrek Academy might have a chance to catch up with the Sun Moon Empire.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, He Caitou had a rough idea of ​​what Huo Yuhao was thinking, and without caring that there were other people around, he shook his head slightly.

"Let's think about it some more." Huo Yuhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, calming his mind.

Perhaps this is just a rumor deliberately released by the Xishui Alliance to win them over; he cannot make a decision rashly based on something that has not yet been confirmed.

"Of course." Nether Thunder Douluo nodded with a smile.

Judging from their reactions, he knew that they were interested in what he was saying.

"Then please take a good rest. You can ask us for details about the Soul Master Competition finals at any time."

Ming Lei Douluo turned his head and said, "Good morning, please give our two representatives a proper welcome."

"Yes, elder."

Elder...

Huo Yuhao secretly memorized Chen An's address and followed her out.

"Third brother..."

As Lin Xiao watched their figures disappear, he was about to speak when Ming Lei Douluo raised his hand to interrupt him, "I know you're also interested in what I just said. Come on, I'll take you to see it."

Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, but still nodded.

It's clear that although the Holy Spirit Cult has obtained the alloy, they don't know who first discovered it.

"Third Brother, the Sun Moon Empire would naturally guard such a secret item closely, so how did it fall into our hands?" Lin Xiao asked with some doubt as he followed Ming Lei Douluo upstairs.

"These things were not obtained through our channels." As he said this, the Thunder God's eyes changed slightly.

"Initially, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce released it into the underground market, and I didn't know what it was."

"Later, our spies who infiltrated the Aodu Chamber of Commerce learned about this material. According to the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, it is a new type of material called 'alloy' that can replace rare metals."

"At first I didn't believe it, but after some experiments..." As Ming Lei Douluo spoke, his expression gradually became somewhat subtle.

"Is there a problem with these materials?" Lin Xiao asked in a low voice.

The Aodu Chamber of Commerce is backed by the military. Although Mingdetang did not leak the news about the alloy, those materials will definitely be used in the military first, and it was only a matter of time before the Aodu Chamber of Commerce found out.

It's unclear whether the Aodu Chamber of Commerce is genuinely selling alloys or simply using this information to spread misinformation.

“No, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t be foolish enough to ruin its own reputation.” Nether Thunder Douluo shook his head. “But it’s precisely because of the effects described by the Aodu Chamber of Commerce that it’s such a hot potato.”

"These are only used in the military. Once these materials or soul tools containing these materials appear on the market, they will be investigated by the royal family and Mingde Hall." "Currently, no one dares to buy this batch of alloy in the channels within the Sun Moon Empire, and the channels to the three great empires are controlled by the Ordinary Alliance."

Ming Lei Douluo snorted coldly with some resentment, "Shangguan Wei'er has already colluded with the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. I just hope that after this Soul Master Competition, we can get involved."

Lin Xiao paused slightly upon hearing this. He was still keeping an eye on the Elite Competition and hadn't expected something like this to happen in just a few days.

Recalling the joy on Ming Lei Douluo's face when he talked about "novel" things a few days ago, it was probably because he had just tested the properties of the alloy.

"So, Third Brother is planning to use these to lure those two contestants?"

"It might not have such a good effect on others, but..." Douluo Minglei's tone was somewhat mysterious, "Where do you think these two people who are so interested in rare metals come from?"

"Probably the three great empires."

“That’s right.” Ming Lei Douluo nodded. “If they were from the Sun Moon Empire, even if they also lacked rare metals, they wouldn’t be so eager, with almost every bet related to rare metals.”

"Only the academies or sects of the three great empires would be so interested in rare metals."

"Of course, I don't care where they are from. Once they join the Holy Church, we are all one family."

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao and He Caitou, who were almost considered "family" by Ming Lei Douluo, had already concealed their forms under Huo Yuhao's simulation soul skill.

They only gradually revealed themselves after shaking off the Holy Spirit Cult disciples who were following them.

"Yuhao, you're not really going to accept the offer from that Xishui Alliance, are you?"

As He Caitou spoke, he looked intently into Huo Yuhao's eyes. He had already sensed something was wrong with Huo Yuhao when he heard Ming Lei Douluo speak.

Huo Yuhao neither spoke nor denied it.

"This is too dangerous. That's the territory of evil soul masters. It must be full of dangers. Not to mention you are a disciple of Shrek Academy. Once your identity is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Senior Brother, I'm thinking about something else." Huo Yuhao frowned deeply. "If what that 'elder' said is true, then the Sun Moon Empire must also possess this material."

"The Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology is probably beyond all our expectations, and the situation on the continent is more dangerous than we imagined."

He Caitou paused for a moment, then realized what he meant, "You mean the Sun Moon Empire has already developed and utilized this material?"

“Hmm.” Huo Yuhao nodded. “I even suspect that this material originated from Mingdetang. If that’s the case, their development of this material has probably reached a rather frightening level.”

"Senior Brother He, if the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool development were not limited by materials and reached a level far surpassing that of the three great empires, what would they do next?"

He Caitou's face was already clouded with gloom. "War."

Huo Yuhao's expression suddenly changed, and he glanced at He Caitou. "Let's go, let's go back to Mingyue Hotel quickly."

Should we tell the rest of the college about this?

"No, not just the academy, we also need to contact people from the other major royal academies."
