The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 113 The Emperor's Belt

The three leaders of the three major alliances each stepped aside and did nothing more than observe the contestants brought by the other side.

On the side of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, the three Soul Masters who appeared were all men, all around thirty years old. The Ordinary Alliance was destined to be the most eye-catching. Surprisingly, the three girls who took the stage were all women, each with their own unique charm, and all were stunning beauties.

"Don't be tempted by beauty. If you have the chance, strike hard and don't give them any opportunity." Nangong Wan's voice rang in the ears of Huo Zhanji, Mo Ke, and Huang Zheng at the same time.

Ye Yulin, the chief referee, waved his hand and said, "The three presidents may all leave. All participants, take your positions and prepare for the competition."

Nangong Wan, Shangguan Weier, and An Litong exchanged glances, then turned and left with cold smiles.

Huo Zhanji and the other two walked to their respective soul guide production tables. Ye Yulin stood with his hands behind his back, his aged face extremely cold and stern. He showed no respect even to the three leaders of the three major underground forces, let alone to these contestants.

At this moment, his cold gaze swept across the faces of the nine contestants, and a faint aura of pressure swept across the entire arena. Among them, Huo Zhanji was the person whose gaze lingered the longest.

"You will have three hours to craft a soul tool. Each person may only craft one soul tool. You may use any materials, but you are strictly prohibited from using any pre-made, unfinished products. If discovered, you will be immediately eliminated..."

Upon hearing these words from Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin, the other participants were secretly startled, except for Huo Zhanji.

Huo Zhanji closed his eyes slightly, placed his hands on the table, and waited quietly.

"Timer started! Soundproof shield, raise!"

With a loud shout from Ye Yulin, a faint white light shield rose from around the arena, and the soft white light quickly gathered in the air to form a dome, enveloping the entire arena.

The noise from the outside world was completely shut out. Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin sat back down in his seat, his gaze fixed intently on the participating Soul Masters who were beginning to take action.

The moment Ye Yulin shouted "Start!", Huo Zhanji moved. He spread his hands at the same time, each grabbing a piece of rare metal. The carving knife made of the Gold of Life was also taken out. He quickly swung the carving knife, and in a short while, all the outer shells that Huo Zhanji needed were completed.

Ye Yulin now focused her attention on him, and seeing his method of production, a look of surprise appeared on her face. "A list-carving knife?"

Huo Zhanji moved incredibly fast. In just a few minutes, his soul tool crafting table was already filled with more than a dozen completed metal shells. Moreover, these shells were quite large. He already needed to place them on the ground to continue crafting; what he was making was a simplified version of the Emperor's Armor, powered by his own soul power.

As time went by, half an hour quickly passed. Ye Yulin, who had been focusing more on Huo Zhanji, began to notice some clues. Could this little guy be planning to make a humanoid soul tool? How could that be?

Ye Yulin herself had tried it before. However, humanoid soul tools require too many core array sensors, and also have extremely high requirements for the material of the body, the connection of the core array, and the control of the human body. It is not difficult to make a humanoid soul tool that can be controlled by a person. What is difficult is to make a humanoid soul tool that can greatly enhance one's strength, surpassing the soul master's own abilities in terms of speed, attack, and defense, and without affecting the use of one's own soul skills.

A humanoid soul tool, a challenge even for a level nine soul master, was actually created in this competition by a young man no more than thirty years old. Where does his confidence come from? Does he really believe that creating a humanoid soul tool in just three hours will help him win this competition?

Huo Zhanji continued his work, but he still did not create the core magic array. Instead, he began to meticulously craft some small parts, and the rare metals he used became increasingly precious. His movements became faster and faster. With the completion of the Emperor's Belt, Huo Zhanji immediately began to inscribe the Soul Guiding Magic Array to link the armor and the belt together. This was the most difficult part.

As Huo Zhanji swiftly wielded his carving knife, one soul-guiding array after another was inscribed. In the final moments, Huo Zhanji was also making some adjustments to the Emperor's Belt. With a flash of dazzling golden light, all the finished parts on the table disappeared into the Emperor's Belt, and a Taiji Medal necklace was also put around Huo Zhanji's neck.

"Good heavens, this young friend Yunshan is a genius!" Another old man sitting next to Ye Yulin finally couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Ye Yulin nodded slightly and said, "Old Wang, you noticed too, didn't you?"

The elderly man surnamed Wang said irritably, "Old Ye, I'm not blind yet, how could I not see it?"

Ye Yulin nodded and said, "I have a feeling that this young man might usher in a new era for soul tools. It seems we were wrong before."

Old Wang smiled wryly and said, "Could you please not make it so clear?"

On the competition stage, Huo Zhanji was still making final adjustments. After hearing that the system modification was completed, Huo Zhanji could clearly feel the extraordinary nature of the belt, guessing that the metal had also been modified.

"Done!" Huo Zhan breathed a long sigh of relief.

The eyes of Ye Yulin and the other seven judges, as well as the other eight contestants, widened instantly.

"Time's up. Stop everything."

"Alright, everyone has finished making their soul tools. The making time is over. From now on, you can only use the soul tool you made in the next competition. You may not use any other soul tools." Ye Yulin said in a deep voice.
