Guess the ranking, guess the top three, guess the champion. There are even some strange ranking betting methods.

In order to make more profits, the three major underground forces racked their brains this time, fully exerting their influence to guide more people in and let them participate in this final gamble.

The rewards given to the soul masters in this final are also extremely generous.

The final champion will receive a ninth-level soul guide, which is already a priceless treasure. At the same time, there is also the option of choosing up to one ton of rare metals.

At that time, there will be 49 kinds of rare metals for the final champion to choose from, and the total weight only needs to be no more than one ton. Each rare metal cannot exceed 100 kilograms.

In addition to the champion, the runner-up and third place also received rewards, but they were much worse. They did not have a ninth-level soul guide, but only a ton of rare metals.

As for the fourth to ninth place, they did not even receive a single gold soul coin as a reward.

This kind of reward method will undoubtedly further stimulate the desire to win among the nine participating soul masters.

Moreover, these were all public rewards. Each of the three major underground forces had incentives for their own players. After winning, they would also receive a generous reward from the underground force they represented.

It is precisely because of such huge prizes that so many outstanding young soul masters will participate in this competition.

Green hotel.

A heavy atmosphere enveloped the lobby of the Green Hotel, and everyone felt an invisible pressure.

The third elder frowned, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk, staring at Chen An closely, his tone was filled with unquestionable majesty:
"Master Han hasn't arrived yet? Are you sure you've informed them of the time?"

Chen An felt a chill running from his feet to his head. The clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat. He lowered his head and answered nervously:
"Third Elder, I have followed your instructions and notified Master Han as soon as the semi-finals ended. I told him to come early today to prepare."

His voice became increasingly quiet, almost inaudible, for fear that his answer would anger this powerful elder. The Third Elder snorted coldly, his tone as cold as frost:

"If they fail to arrive on time and cause Xishui League to miss the opportunity, you should understand the consequences!"

He paused deliberately, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Chen An's heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"Pay compensation with your life!"

The Third Elder's voice exploded in the hall like thunder, making Chen An's face pale, his legs weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, No. 96 Huang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded with a smile: "Teacher, please calm down, I believe Master Han will be here soon.

After all, the rewards for this competition are so generous that no one would give up such an opportunity easily."

He spoke in a gentle tone and calm demeanor, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Merck No. 98, who was standing next to him, had a gloomy face and said nothing, as if he was immersed in his own thoughts. Only the dark blue dragon in his hand, which symbolized failure, silently reminded him of his past glory and his current desolation.

At this moment, a deep voice came from the door, like thunder, instantly breaking the suffocating silence in the hall:

"Third brother, don't embarrass Chen An. I believe that Master Han will be on time for the appointment. After the game, I will talk to him."

As he spoke, the burly Xishui leader Nangong Wan walked into the lobby with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. He glanced at the entire room, and an invisible pressure suddenly spread out.

At this moment, the Qingse Hotel has been completely taken over by the Xishui League and is under tight security. Strong men in black can be seen everywhere inside and outside the hotel. They have alert eyes and weapons in their hands, and have surrounded the entire hotel.

In the center of the lobby, in addition to Nangong Wan, the third elder, Merck, Huang Zheng and others, there were also some heavy metal boxes piled up. Inside were precious and rare metals needed for the competition. These metals sparkled with a cold luster, foreshadowing the upcoming fierce competition.

Everyone's eyes were focused on these boxes and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

In the hall, the air seemed to freeze. Nangong Wan and the Third Elder both looked grim. They were waiting anxiously, hoping that hope of breaking the deadlock would emerge.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps coming from far away broke the silence, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The footsteps were light and steady, with a special rhythm, and were particularly clear in the silent lobby.

Two burly men in black appeared at the door first. They had stern eyes and steady steps, guarding the people behind them like two guardian gods.

Under the guidance of the two men in black, Han Yu and Yuan Gungun finally appeared in everyone's sight.

Han Yu was still wearing a simple black robe, and a silver mask covered his face, revealing only a pair of deep, star-like eyes, exuding a cold aura.

He walked steadily, each step seemed to be measured precisely, and he exuded a powerful aura.

Yuan Gungun, who was following beside him, was dressed in tight clothes and also wore a mask that covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of small eyes showing, flashing with a cunning light.

Seeing the two people coming, Nangong Wan and the third elder finally showed a hint of joy on their originally tense faces. They felt like they had grasped a life-saving straw, and a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts.

Chen An walked over quickly, with a smile on his face, and greeted them warmly: "Two distinguished guests, you are finally here. We have been waiting for a long time."

There was a hint of respect and flattery in Chen An's tone, and he did not dare to express any dissatisfaction with Han Yu's lateness.

His eyes swept over Han Yu intentionally or unintentionally. The moment their eyes met, he nodded slightly, indicating with his eyes that the previously agreed transaction was ready and there was no problem.

Han Yu noticed Chen An's little gesture, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible arc, and he gave him a look that showed everything was under control.

He knew that this deal was related to the survival of Xishui League, and he also needed the help of Xishui League to achieve his goal. Nangong Wan walked quickly to Han Yu, his face full of smiles, his tone full of gratitude and expectation: "You two are finally here, it's good that you arrived in time.

The glory of our Xishui League depends on you two to defend it today."

Facing Nangong Wan's enthusiasm, Han Yu just nodded lightly, his tone cold and calm: "We will naturally do our best."

He glanced at Nangong Wan and the Third Elder, and his heart was full of vigilance. He knew that these two people were likely elders of the Holy Spirit Church, and their strength should not be underestimated.

With Han Yu's current cultivation, it would be easy for him to get rid of these two people, but he did not act rashly. He knew that doing so would only alert the enemy and would be detrimental to his next plan.

As the Holy Spirit Church gradually surfaced, their powerful strength gradually came into Han Yu's sight. He knew that there were a large number of evil soul masters throughout the Sun and Moon Empire, and this was a powerful force that could not be ignored.

The original Douluo Du Bu Si once told Han Yu that it was extremely difficult for an evil soul master to become a Titled Douluo.

But now, Han Yu can be sure that the Holy Spirit Church, which has accumulated for who knows how many years, should have mastered the method to allow evil soul masters to break through.

At least among the evil soul masters he had seen, there were already four or five who were definitely at the Titled Douluo level.

For example, the two in front of us are at least Titled Douluo-level evil soul masters.

Even the top leaders of Shrek would have a headache if they met them.

Moreover, these two people have very high status in the Holy Spirit Church.

After all, the Xishui League controls nearly half of the underground forces in Mingdu. As the economic source of the Holy Spirit Church, it must be controlled by people with higher status.

Nangong Wan turned to Han Yu with interest, his eyes stayed on him for a moment, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly said:
"Friend Han, you left a deep impression on us since we last met."

There was a hint of teasing in his tone, as if he was hinting at something.

Han Yu's heart trembled, and she looked at him calmly.

Nangong Wan's words made him feel a little uneasy, but he pretended to be alert on the surface and said in a deep voice:
"There's nothing to get close to. I'm just here to participate in the competition. I won't have anything to do with underground forces like you."

As he spoke, he deliberately emphasized the words "underground forces" to express his position.

Nangong Wan laughed out loud when he heard this, as if he had heard some funny joke. He waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's okay, let's talk about it after the game."

As he said that, he turned to look at Chen An beside him and ordered, "Chen An, tell the two friends about today's finals."

Chen An had been standing silently by the side, hearing their conversation clearly.

His heart was already in turmoil at this moment. Nangong Wan's words made him deeply doubt Han Yu's identity.

"The leader should be from that place, how could he not know him? But Young Master Han's ability is clearly..."

Chen An's brain was working rapidly, trying to connect all the clues together, but he still couldn't find the answer.

He had gained a lot of benefits from Han Yu, not to mention the upcoming cooperation between the two parties, which made him dare not offend Han Yu easily.

"Yes, leader." Chen An suppressed his doubts, bowed respectfully to Nangong Wan, then turned to face Han Yu and Yuan Gun Gun and said:
"Today is the final of this year's Mingdu Soul Mentor Elite Competition. The final will be jointly hosted by our Xishui League, Pingfan League, and Aodu Chamber of Commerce. The venue will be in the western suburbs, and we have already made arrangements there."

Chen An walked to the center of the venue, glanced at everyone, and slowly spoke, explaining the rules of the final.

He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Regarding the rules of this final, after careful discussion among our three forces, we have finally determined them."

He paused to give everyone time to digest his thoughts, and then continued, "For this final, our three forces will each send three of their best soul mentors to participate. In other words, there will be a total of nine contestants participating in the final competition."

His eyes fell on Han Yu and Yuan Gungun, and he continued, "The first stage of the competition is the soul guide making phase. We will provide each contestant with sufficient materials and three hours of time. During this time, the contestants need to exert their full strength and create a soul guide that best represents their level."

Chen An deliberately emphasized the word "one", and then added: "It should be noted that during the competition, the contestants can only use the one soul guide they made. Therefore, whether to focus on attack or defense depends on the contestants' own situation and tactical arrangements."

Chen An paused for a moment, waiting for everyone to digest the rules of the first stage, and then continued: "After the soul guide is completed, the second stage of the competition will be carried out - the skill test."

He deliberately kept everyone in suspense and said in a mysterious tone: "As for the specific test content, it is still confidential. We will announce it on the day of the competition. But what I can reveal is that this skill test will definitely be beyond your expectations and extremely challenging!"

He looked around and saw that everyone had expressions of curiosity and anticipation on their faces, then he continued, "After three hours of high-intensity soul guide production, I believe that all the contestants' energy will be consumed to varying degrees. At this time, a skill competition will undoubtedly be a comprehensive test of the contestants' physical strength, mental strength, and adaptability. Therefore, all contestants, please prepare in advance."

He raised a finger and gestured, "In the skill test phase, we will score each contestant based on their performance, and the contestant ranked last will be eliminated."

"Next, it's the third stage, which is the final actual combat phase." Chen An's tone became more serious when he said this.

"In this stage, we will adopt a one-on-one elimination system. The eight qualified players will compete against each other in pairs according to their rankings in the skill test."

He elaborated: “The player with the highest score in the skills test will face the player with the lowest score, and so on, until the top four are determined.”

He clenched his fists and said excitedly, "And these four top masters will compete in the final. They will draw lots for the semi-finals and finals to determine the champion of this competition!"

Chen An took a deep breath and concluded, "In short, the rules of this competition are to maximize the fairness and viewing experience of the competition, so that every player has the opportunity to show their strength."

He stared at everyone with a burning gaze, and said word by word: "But there are also some things that need attention. (End of this chapter)
