Douluo Continent: The Great Villain System, Intercepting Tianmeng's Ice Silkworm

Chapter 80 Soul Guidance Storage System

Meng Hongchen looked at the broken gold crystal on the table, her little face scrunched up, her displeasure written all over her face.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! We were so close to finishing!"

She gritted her teeth and muttered under her breath, her fingers gripping the corner of the table so tightly that her knuckles turned slightly white from the force.

His eyes were filled with resentment and frustration, as if blaming himself for not persisting a little longer, for not checking the carving of the core magic array one more time.

Beside him, Poseidon, seeing her flushed face, felt a little smug but maintained a serious demeanor on the surface.

After all, it's not nice to laugh at someone to their face!

Many people witnessed this scene, but no one dared to laugh out loud.

No matter what, she is, after all, the little princess of Mingde Hall. Her status is what it is, so who would dare to offend her easily?

The atmosphere on the scene became somewhat awkward for a moment, and everyone tacitly lowered their heads, pretending to be focused on the work at hand.

The room fell silent as the man in red coughed lightly.

All eyes were on him, awaiting his next instructions.

"Now, have your work engraved with your name or code, and then submit it together. The nine judges on the organizing committee will evaluate it."

The man in red spoke with a steady and powerful voice, carrying an unquestionable authority.

After they finished speaking, everyone quickly handed over the completed soul tools to the table in the center.

Poseidon casually counted them and found that the number did not even exceed one hundred.

He pondered to himself that everyone in this competition was after the Dragon Rock Crystal. In order to stand out among the many contestants, they chose to challenge their limits, but clearly, they failed, just like Meng Hongchen.

After everyone had submitted their work, they consciously returned to their seats and quietly waited for the evaluation results.

Since all nine of them were advanced soul masters, they only needed to glance at the item a few times to understand its quality.

One of the masked men, dressed in a purple robe, couldn't help but raise a disdainful smirk upon seeing the soul-guided pistol made by Poseidon.

A level-two soul tool is arguably the lowest-level artifact present.

However, maintaining a responsible attitude, he still infused soul power into it.

"Huh?" Suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise, as his soul power seemed unable to integrate into the core magic array.

"Are the core magic arrays all carved incorrectly?" The purple-robed masked man was speechless for a moment, but he quickly realized something was wrong.

"No, there's already soul power within the core formation! How is this possible!"

No one knows how fascinating his expression is beneath the mask.

As a senior soul master, he knew very well what it meant for a soul tool to have its own soul power.

Soul Guidance Storage System!

He then quickly tugged at another member of the organizing committee next to him and told him his thoughts. The other person was equally shocked.

After studying it for a long time, the nine people finally confirmed that this was indeed the Soul Guidance Storage System!

The problem that they had been struggling with for years without any clue had actually been solved by someone else!

Soon, all the soul tools were evaluated. The man in red and masked stood up and said in a deep voice, "Evaluation is over. The top three will be announced now."

He then picked up a green shield and said, "Third place, Li Gou Dan, work: Level 5 defensive soul tool, containing twenty-eight core magic arrays!"

A plump man with a kind face stood up excitedly, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

He clearly hadn't expected to get third place, and was momentarily at a loss for words, quickly bowing to those around him to express his gratitude.

"Second place, Zhang Erfeng, work: Level 5 long-range fixed-position soul-guided cannon, containing thirty-four core magic arrays!"

After he finished speaking, a thin, haggard-looking man stood up.

His face didn't show much expression, but his eyes revealed a hint of fatigue and satisfaction.

Clearly, he put in a tremendous amount of effort for this competition.

Next up is the first place that everyone is most looking forward to.

The masked man smiled mysteriously, and instead of announcing the results directly, he said, "This next piece not only won first place, but it also passed the review of our nine-member organizing committee!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in uproar.

Did he pass the review of nine people simultaneously?

Just how incredible must this work be to achieve such success?

The masked man's words caused a huge stir, and everyone's curiosity reached its peak.

Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, the masked man stopped teasing him and took out the soul-guided pistol made by Poseidon from behind his back.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the item in the masked man's hand. With their eyesight, they could naturally tell that the soul-guided pistol was not of a high level.

How could this pass the review of nine people at the same time?

Are you kidding me? You can't possibly have decided on the champion from the very beginning, can you?

The masked man chuckled and introduced:

"Don't underestimate this soul-guided pistol in my hand, everyone. Although it's only level two, it's equipped with a soul power storage system!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, especially Meng Hongchen, who looked at Bo Saibei with disbelief.

Her voice trembled slightly: "This...this wasn't made by you?"

Poseidon smiled slightly and nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement.

His expression remained calm, as if all of this was within his expectations.

"Alright, the competition is over. All irrelevant personnel may leave." The masked man did not reveal the creator of the work. After all, the reward this time was Dragon Rock Crystal, and if they found out who had obtained it, it would probably cause trouble for Poseidon.

Apart from Meng Hongchen and the top three, everyone else left the stage without delay.

Seemingly aware of the relationship between Meng Hongchen and Bo Saibei, the masked man didn't say much.

After distributing the rewards to the two people in front of him, he removed his mask, revealing a dignified face.

"Young friend, I won't waste any more words. On behalf of the Xishui Alliance, I sincerely wish to purchase your Soul Guidance Storage System. What do you say?"

The Soul Guidance Storage System can be considered a powerful weapon in war; as long as you have enough Soul Guidance Devices, you can overwhelm them with sheer numbers.

Poseidon shook his head and refused. The Xi Shui Alliance was clearly backed by the Holy Spirit Cult. Why should he sell this thing to them?

Given their track record, it's unlikely to end well.

Although Poseidon doesn't consider himself a good person, he is still different from evil spirit masters.

Seeing that Poseidon refused, a shadow flashed across the masked man's eyes, and then he said with some regret, "Alright, that's a real pity."

After speaking, she carefully extended one hand, and a ring on her index finger lit up.

Immediately afterwards, a crystal appeared in his hand.

It was an orange crystal the size of a head.

Although it is called a crystal, its appearance is like an irregular piece of metal.

Its surface shimmers with a brilliant orange-gold light, constantly twinkling.

A faint dragon's roar could be heard in the distance.
