The air was filled with smoke and the dust had not yet settled. In the center of the explosion, a figure slowly stood up.

In the cold rain, he knelt on one knee, supported his hands on the ground, and lowered his head.

The shock wave of the explosion blew his black hair into a mess, and a few strands of hair covered his face, revealing only his well-defined jaw and slightly panting lips.

He stood up slowly and brushed off the dust on his body. His movements were casual yet full of power.

He raised his head and looked around. His eyes were sharp and fierce, like a sword drawn from its sheath, with an air of looking down on the world.

"Snow Demon Zongsheng!"

Bupo Douluo's loud voice sounded, with a hint of provocation that was difficult to conceal.

He stared at Xu Sanshi with burning eyes, his eyes full of provocation.

Xu Sanshi shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent. He had expected this result a long time ago. After all, the opponent's strength was there.

He jumped off the stage lightly, not caring about the discussions of the audience around him.

According to the rules of the competition, Xu Sanshi's surrender meant that the Shrek team lost the qualification to continue the competition. The Snow Demon Sect won without a fight and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Han Yu walked down from the competition stage, stretched his muscles, and stretched himself, making a crisp "crackling" sound.

"GongGong, come with me for a moment. You guys can continue to watch the game here."

Han Yu spoke to Yuan Gungun beside him, his tone calm but with unquestionable majesty.

Yuan Gungun nodded without asking any more questions. He knew that Han Yu must have something important to deal with.

The two of them left the competition venue quietly and walked towards a secluded corner.

"Boss, he's here. Should I ask him to come over?"

Yuan Gungun lowered his voice and looked around vigilantly.

"Well, the surrounding is safe, let him come over."

Han Yu responded indifferently, with a deep look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Yuan Gungun received the instructions and quickly disappeared into the shadows.

After a while, he came back with a figure.

With the dim light, it can be identified that this person is Chen An, the manager of the Golden Hall of Qingse Hotel under Xishui League.

"Sir." When Chen An saw Han Yu, he quickly bowed and spoke in a respectful tone.

Ever since the last Mingdu Soul Mentor Elite Competition, he has been even more in awe of Han Yu.

The terrifying strength that Han Yu displayed in the competition completely conquered him and made him realize that the seemingly young boy in front of him was by no means an ordinary person.

"How's the matter going?" Han Yu went straight to the point with an indifferent tone.

"Your Excellency, it's almost done. Here's the list."

Chen An quickly handed over a piece of paper, on which were densely recorded the names and quantities of various rare metals.

Han Yu took the list and looked through it carefully, frowning slightly, "Why are there so few?" Chen An explained with a wry smile:
"My Lord, this is the result of my best efforts.

You also know that the price of rare metals has been rising all the way, and there are not many of them circulating in the market. Although we in Xishui League have stockpiled a lot, those are strategic materials that the elders regard as treasures and are not willing to sell them easily. I heard that..."

It is now strictly prohibited to sell it to outsiders.

I was able to get all this because a friend of mine is a senior executive in charge of the warehouse? That’s why I was able to save a little. This matter must not be leaked, otherwise, my life will be over.”

Han Yu nodded slowly, a hint of appreciation flashed in his deep eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, then let's do as you say."

He paused, his tone carrying a certain unquestionable majesty, "Don't worry, I, Han Yu, never mistreat my own people, and I will definitely do what I promised you."

As he spoke, he pulled out a card with a gold border from the inner pocket of his black windbreaker. The card was cold to the touch and gave off a faint metallic scent.

He casually handed the card to Chen An and added, "Take this first."

Chen An reached out to take the card, it felt slightly cool, and an inexplicable sense of security arose spontaneously.

He knew that the card Han Yu gave him represented many things. It was not just 500,000 gold soul coins, but also a promise and a trust.

He suppressed his inner excitement and said respectfully:
"Here are 500,000 gold soul coins as a deposit. After you go back, please prepare the goods as soon as possible. I will pay the balance when the goods arrive. At that time, I will definitely do what I promised you."

Chen An bowed slightly, his tone became more humble, but his eyes flashed with shrewdness, "Sir, I have an idea, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"

He paused, observing Han Yu's expression, and seeing that the other party had no intention of objecting, he continued,
"In a few days, the day after the semi-finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition, our Mingdu Soul Instructor Elite Competition will hold the final of the three major underground forces."

"When the finals begin, you will naturally go to participate. At that time, the top leaders of our three major underground forces will go to watch."

Chen An lowered his voice, with a hint of mystery in his tone, "This is also the time when the warehouse is the emptier. Let's meet here. I'll have someone deliver the goods, and you can send someone here to inspect the goods.

By then, the money and goods will be settled, and we won't be there, so that will be the safest time. What do you think?"

The corners of Han Yu's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, but there was a barely perceptible coldness flashing in his eyes.

He nodded slightly and said calmly, "Yes, your idea is very sound. Let's do it."

He paused, as if he was weighing something, and then said, "Okay, go back now and be careful."

Upon hearing this, Chen An bowed his head slightly and replied respectfully: "Yes, thank you for your cultivation, sir. I will help you get things done first, and then we can talk about other things."

After saying this, he bowed deeply to Han Yu again. He turned around, took light steps, and left quietly. When he walked out of the dark corner, Chen An stopped as usual and looked around cautiously.

He scanned the surrounding environment with sharp eyes, not missing any suspicious corner.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he quickened his pace and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

Watching Chen An's departing figure, the faint smile on Han Yu's lips gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold sneer. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"When this guy was talking just now, his heartbeat was a little faster and his breathing was a little faster. It's obvious that some of his words were lies."

Han Yu thought to himself, "It's hard to say exactly where the fake is, but it's good that he got these rare metals."

"GunGun, please help me protect him. I'll see if I can find better clues from him. If I get something, maybe I won't have to participate in the final." Han Yu turned to Yuan GunGun and said, with a hint of excitement and anticipation in his tone.

"Here? Isn't it too dangerous?" Yuan Gungun frowned and asked with some concern. After all, this is a busy street. Although it is relatively quiet, there is no guarantee that we will not be discovered.

"I'm fine." Han Yu gave Yuan Gungun a reassuring look. "There are not many people passing by here. I will continue to release mimicry to conceal our figures. You just need to be a little careful."

He paused, and seeing that Chen An's figure had disappeared around the corner, he continued, "He's gone far away. I'm going to start. I hope he's not too far away!"

As he spoke, Han Yu slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and adjusted himself to the best state.

The next moment, a faint golden light quietly emerged from his forehead, jumping like a spark. The golden light became stronger and stronger, and finally formed a small beam of light, which shot towards the direction where Chen An disappeared like lightning, and disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye without attracting anyone's attention.

Han Yu himself was like an old monk in meditation, maintaining his previous posture, motionless, with only his chest rising and falling slightly with his breathing, like a lifelike statue.

His mental power has entered a wonderful realm of being tangible and intangible. Although Han Yu has not yet been able to fully integrate his mental power with his soul power in battle to exert a more powerful power, his mental power alone is many times stronger than before.

That faint golden light and shadow was the clone formed by his condensed mental power leaving his body.

Unlike simple mental detection, this group of mental clones also carries a wisp of Han Yu's soul power, so it is more condensed and more flexible.

Although it cannot attack and defend like the soul clone, this group of mental clones can be used to observe the surrounding environment and track targets, with a longer range, more covertness, and more handy than mental detection.

With Han Yu's current mental strength, if he concentrates on detecting in a single direction, he can cover a radius of up to three kilometers. His tangible mental clone can reach five kilometers or even further.

Of course, he himself had not carefully tested how far it could reach. After all, the farther away from the main body, the greater the consumption of mental power, and the more difficult it was to control.

Chen An didn't know that he had been locked by Han Yu's mental power. He walked very fast, almost jogging. After turning two corners in succession, he slowed down his pace and pretended to be calm, strolling on the street like an ordinary pedestrian.

At this time, he had walked onto a main road, which was crowded with people, bustling and lively. The surrounding restaurants, teahouses and some entertainment venues were doing extremely good business, with almost every restaurant filled with customers and bustling with people.

All of this is due to the huge benefits brought about by the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition.

As the largest and most influential soul master competition on the continent, the holding of the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition has undoubtedly played a huge role in promoting the economic development of Mingdu.

In the past few months, almost all merchants in Mingdu have made a lot of money and are smiling happily.

The holding of the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition has made a huge contribution to the economy of Mingdu. In the past few months, almost all Mingdu businesses have made a lot of money.

Walking into the crowd, Chen An breathed a sigh of relief. He was always very careful, and now he was sure that there would be no problem.

If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth! Chen An showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. As he walked, he thought to himself that this cooperation with the mysterious evil soul master would definitely change his fate.

Since you are going to do it, make a big profit. As long as you do it covertly, you can not only please both sides, but you will also become the biggest beneficiary.

While thinking about it, he quickened his pace a little more. After crossing a main road, he entered a narrower alley and walked quickly.

But he was completely unaware that less than three meters above his head, a slightly twisted, colorless spiritual clone was observing him.
In places with few people, Chen An walked very fast, through the streets and alleys, constantly changing directions, and it really seemed like he was going in circles.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he finally arrived at a large area of ​​buildings.

At this moment, Han Yu's real body, who was several kilometers away, showed a hint of surprise on his face, because he was too familiar with this place. It was the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy!

Chen An did not enter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, but walked along the road beside the academy and then entered an alley.

This alley is behind the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

There is also a large area of ​​buildings here that look like residential buildings, but as soon as they entered this alley, Chen An was stopped. Those who stopped him were armed soldiers.

Chen An showed a token and then walked in.

Han Yu had been in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy for two years and had no idea that there was such an existence out there.

After all, at that time he was paying more attention to the soul guide, and they, the exchange students from Shrek Academy, were kept under close watch on a daily basis.

Chen An walked through a narrow alley, his heartbeat gradually calmed down, and he walked into a spacious courtyard. The courtyard was quiet, with only a few sparrows jumping on the branches.

He let out a long sigh, suppressed his inner tension, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

At the other end of the yard, a man of middle build was pacing back and forth anxiously, looking up at the alley entrance from time to time. It was the middle-aged man named Li who had made an appointment with Chen An.

"How's it going? Have you got the buyer?" Seeing Chen An's figure, the middle-aged man named Li immediately came up to him, his tone filled with undisguised anxiety, and it was obvious that he had been waiting here for a long time.

Chen An nodded confidently, "Don't worry, Brother Li, everything has been settled. I even brought the deposit."

As he spoke, he gently patted his collar, signaling the other party to be at ease.

"Brother Li, there can't be any problems with the goods! We've made a lot of money on this deal. If we can get it done, we won't have to worry about anything for the rest of our lives."

"As long as the buyer has no problem, I'm glad. I've already started making preparations, don't worry."

When the middle-aged man surnamed Li heard Chen An's words, his tense face relaxed.

"I am one of the six persons in charge of the warehouse, and I am also the main person in charge and deputy supervisor. I started preparing a few years ago. (End of this chapter)
