The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 111 Final

"I lost, there's no need to continue the competition," Long Aotian said, lowering his head.

"Match ended. Shrek Team defeated Snow Demon Sect Team and advanced to the finals."

.........

The sky grew increasingly gloomy. At midday, the light was as dim as dusk, and the heavy, dark clouds pressed down even lower. The oppressive atmosphere was truly unsettling.

After the emotional turmoil of the morning, the spectators around the competition area appeared somewhat listless. They had arrived early in the morning, striving for a good spot, and finally waited for the competition to begin, only to have it end after just one match. Now, most of the spectators were sitting on the ground, eating the dry rations they had brought, and were all drowsy.

Although the weather was a bit chilly and the clouds were oppressive, it was still much better than being scorched by the sun. Besides, with so many people around, it was hard to feel cold. After all, winter hadn't arrived yet.

Finally, as people began to appear from the direction of the podium, the audience gradually woke up from their listless state. Looking at the sky, it seemed that the afternoon match was not far away.

Meanwhile, the final of the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition, hosted by the three major underground forces in Mingdu, will be held tonight. Each of the three underground forces will send three Soul Master experts they have selected to participate in this final. The betting methods for this final are quite diverse, and the detailed information of the nine contestants has already been circulated outside.

The ultimate champion will receive a level-nine soul tool, which is priceless in itself. In addition, the champion will have the right to choose from a total of one ton of rare metals. Forty-nine different rare metals will be available for the champion to choose from, as long as the total weight does not exceed one ton. Each rare metal can weigh no more than one hundred kilograms. Besides the champion, the runner-up and third-place winners will also receive rewards, but the difference is significant. They will not receive a level-nine soul tool, only one ton of rare metal. As for the fourth to ninth place winners, they will not receive a single gold soul coin.

Moreover, these are only the official rewards. Each of the three major underground factions will reward its members, and upon victory, each member will receive a substantial reward from the faction they represent.

A fledgling hotel.

"Yunshan hasn't arrived yet? Didn't you inform him of the time?" The Third Elder looked at Chen An with an imposing air, his eyes already turning somewhat sinister.

Chen An's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he hurriedly said, "I've already notified them. I notified them a long time ago. When the last semi-final ended, I told them to come early today to make final preparations."

"Hmph! If they don't arrive, you'll have to pay for the losses of the Xishui Alliance. Pay with your life," the Third Elder said coldly.

At this time, the entire Qingse Hotel was under martial law. A large number of burly men dressed in black occupied most of the lobby. In the center of the hall, besides Nangong Wan, the Third Elder, Mo Ke, Huang Zheng, and others, there were several large boxes piled up. What they contained was self-evident: rare metals for the competition.

Just then, a voice came from the doorway, and Huo Zhanji appeared in the sight of Nangong Wan and the Third Elder, guided by two men in black.

Huo Zhanji still had a cold expression, but when he saw Yun Shan appear, Nangong Wan and the Third Elder's expressions softened considerably.

Chen An hurriedly went to greet him, "Distinguished guest, you've finally arrived."

When her eyes met Huo Zhanji's, she nodded slightly to him, indicating that the deal they had agreed upon was ready and without any problems. A smile appeared on Huo Zhanji's face.

The leader of the Xishui Alliance, Nangong Wan, personally came forward to greet him, saying, "You've finally arrived. It's good that you're here in time. Today, the honor of our Xishui Alliance rests on your shoulders."

Huo Zhanji said indifferently, "Of course."

Nangong Wan looked at Huo Zhanji with great interest and said, "Young friend Yunshan, you left a deep impression on us after our last meeting. After this competition, we must get to know each other better."

Huo Zhanji said calmly, "If it's possible, I, Yun, would be honored to accept."

Nangong Wan laughed and said, "It's alright, it's alright. Good morning, please tell young friend Yunshan about today's final match."

"Yes, Alliance Leader." Chen An first respectfully bowed to Nangong Wan, then turned to Huo Zhanji and said, "Today is the final of this year's Mingdu Soul Instructor Elite Competition. The final will be jointly hosted by our Xishui Alliance, the Pingfan Alliance, and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. The location will be in the western suburbs. We have already made all the arrangements there..."

"Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, Nangong Wan and the Third Elder walked in front, followed by Huo Zhanji and the others, surrounded by the burly men in black.

The level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell was naturally not to be carried by these people. Instead, the Third Elder directly put it into his storage soul-guided device and left the Green Inn, heading straight for the western suburbs.

Huo Zhanji had no particular thoughts about the competition venue; since he dared to go, he was confident he could bring those things back.

Huo Zhanji, Mo Ke, and Huang Zheng, the three participants, rode in one carriage. Nangong Wan and the Third Elder rode in another. The remaining burly men in black placed their various rare metals on other, simpler carriages and mounted their horses. The group of over a hundred people set off in a grand procession towards the western suburbs.
