Outside the competition stage, Ajin exclaid at almost the sa ti as Huo Yuhao retrieved his own ranked carving knife. Wow, wow! Look at that, my dear guests.what has our 66 taken out? Its a carving knife thats entirely green in color, and from my perspective, that carving knife looks like its been sculpted from a jewel. Its very eye-catching, and its a green color filled with life energy! Its so beautiful! 66 does have so substance to back him up. Its no wonder he dares to wager against 98!
The people that had bet on 98 beca a little gloomy once they heard this.
98 couldnt hear what was going on outside, but he seed to feel sothing when Huo Yuhao took out his Life Guardian Blade. He looked up, and was montarily stunned, and his eyes coincidentally t Huo Yuhaos stare. Their gazes t, and he was t with Huo Yuhaos calm and composed smile.
He grunted coldly and muttered, So thats the thing youve been hiding? Lets not talk about the fact that your carving knife is not even ranked, and even if it is ranked, its more important to see who the user is.
Huo Yuhao didnt respond at all. He picked up a piece of rare tal known as Multiridged Devilgold and began his own construction.
This tal had a unique characteristic. This tal always seed like it had uncountable ridges even when it was first mined, but everything else was as smooth like a mirror. This was how the na Multiridged Devilgold ca about.
Multiridged Devilgold was different from other tals because it was inherently resistant to soul power. Any soul power that was infused into it would be rejected, and it could even produce a reactionary force several tis the power of the soul power infused inside. If the soul power infused inside exceeded the range that the Multiridged Devilgold could take, the tal would explode.
Multiridged Devilgold wasnt considered very rare because it was still produced in relatively large amounts. It was typically the best choice for crafting defensive soul tools.
This was especially true when soul engineers wanted to craft formation arrays for a protective soul barrier. The product would possess the Multiridged Devilgolds natural resistance to energy and soul power once completed, an excellent effect.
The only problem was that Multiridged Devilgod was extrely tough, and at the sa ti naturally resistant to soul power. This ant it was a lot more difficult to create formation arrays from this tal.
However, this was no problem at all before Huo Yuhaos Life Guardian Blade. The sharp bluish-green blade cut nimbly into the Multiridged Devilgold, and the Life Guardian Blade absorbed every single ounce of life energy from the tal with every stroke and every part it touched. With Huo Yuhaos precise control, life energy was only sucked away from the places that the blade actually cut into, and those parts naturally beca extrely weak without any life energy at all. Huo Yuhao was engraving and cutting into the Multiridged Devilgold as if he were slicing tofu, and the tal was quickly forged and engraved into a disc-like shape about the size of his palm.
Ajin knew quite a bit about crafting soul tools, so he could comntate properly. His jaw hung open as he looked on from his high seat.
Oh my heavens! Thats just incredible! Multiridged Devilgold is extrely resistant to soul power, but its beco as weak as tofu beneath 66s mystical carving knife.
98 was also carving and sculpting a rare tal. He was focused on creating his own soul tool, so he no longer looked at Huo Yuhao; all his energy and attention was focused on the soul tool in front of him. His Darkness Green Dragon flickered with faint green light with every stroke, and caused the tal to ripple at the sa ti.

The Golden Hall outside was in an uproar compared to the competition stages silence. Everybody was discussing things vigorously with their companions and the people they were familiar with.
Ten hours was a really long ti, and many people started to leave after watching the show for more than two hours. However, they were just getting sothing to eat, and werent actually leaving.
The Duskwater Alliances service was exceedingly good. Food and refreshnts were provided outside the Golden Hall, everything free of charge.
The audience could also redeem blankets free-of-charge, and the sofas that they were given to sit on were spacious and very comfortable for lying down. Even though these sofas couldnt compare to actual beds, it was much better than sitting up for the next couple of hours.
The Golden Halls lighting beca progressively dimr over ti, so the competition stages lighting stayed the strongest.
So officials got onto the stage discreetly and delivered so food and drinks to the competing soul engineers before they slunk away. They even had thick cotton layers beneath their shoes so that they could avoid making too much sound, and could avoid affecting the competitors.

Ti continued to pass, and soul tools were completed one after another. Ajin stepped off his high seat after another period of comntating to rest as well. It was getting late, and the gamblers had to rest. They couldnt absorb any more comntating anyway.
The six people on stage were very focused, and they didnt want to waste even a single second of ti.
The contestants would signal to the judges after each soul tool was completed, so that the judges could assess them and confirm that they had been completed. These soul engineers could keep their soul tools only after the judges had given their approval, and these soul tools would be used in the face-off afterwards.
After three hours, 98 had already finished two soul tools, while Huo Yuhao had yet to finish a single one; he was the only person among the six contestants who hadnt raised his hand yet. So of the gamblers who werent resting and were still very excited, and those who had placed their bets on him, were getting worried. Of course, this was a minority, as only those who could take a high risk would choose to bet on the underdog.
98 completed four soul tools in six hours. This was an astonishing speed, as all four soul tools were Class 5 soul tools.
Class 6 soul engineers didnt have to craft Class 6 soul tools if they were limited by ti. Soul engineers would have to consider defending themselves first before anything else in a contest between soul engineers, rather than attacking their adversary. Therefore, one soul tool was clearly not enough for combat, and having a balanced and suitable combination of soul tools was the best choice.
Six hours went by, but Huo Yuhao still hadnt raised his hand a single ti. There were many seemingly sophisticated components on his crafting desk. So were formation arrays, while others were parts and accessories that the judges couldnt fathom. Nobody knew what exactly he was doing, and they were perplexed that he still hadnt finished a single soul tool.
98 would look up at Huo Yuhao from ti to ti. His eyes seed a little doubtful as well. Whats this fellow trying to do? Why doesnt he have a single completed soul tool yet? He must have so ability to boast of if he dares to use that thing as his stake. Is he panicking? No, he must be using so special thod or technique. His eyes are very focused, and it doesnt look like hes giving up.
98 naturally paid more attention to Huo Yuhao as these thoughts ran through his head. His eyes darted to the crafting desk opposite him intermittently, and his hand movents were naturally a little slower than before.
He quickly discovered that Huo Yuhao was actually crafting one single soul tool. Those parts and accessories were laid around the table to form a vague shape. Hes only crafting one soul tool? Is he trying to gamble everything he has on so excessively powerful attack?
His eyes closed into slits, and he pondered for a mont longer before he began to craft another soul tool. His movents were conspicuously faster than before as tal dust and fragnts drifted all over the place. His eyes flickered with dark and cold light as he thought to himself, You want to ambush with an extrely powerful soul tool, huh? Then I will foil your plans before you can even execute them properly.
All six contestants continued crafting their soul tools nervously and hurriedly. They raised their hands again and again, and the gamblers who were resting before began to wake up. The ten hours were almost up, and Huo Yuhao was the only odd one out among the six contestants who hadnt created a single finished product.
Eight hours went by. Huo Yuhao had been working anxiously this entire ti, but he finally looked up from his work. There was a clear look of fatigue on his face. He had formidable spiritual power, but he had been tensed up and nervous for many hours. He was truly feeling a little exhausted from crafting this soul tool before him.
There were almost a hundred accessories and components laid out on the crafting desk before him.
Huo Yuhao had designed this soul tool with the Life Guardian Blade as its core ever since he rembered that he had the carving knife. This was also the first ti that he had attempted to make it, and it was because of this fact that he had to be very careful and ticulous throughout the entire process. Of course, his ticulousness was also highly related to the soul tools inherent complexity.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the hourglass next to him. I have one hour left. I guess I have enough ti to finish it.
Huo Yuhao wasnt in a hurry. He sat there with his eyes closed so that he could focus his attention, and he channeled soul power across his body to adjust his bodys state and his state of mind.
His soul power couldnt complete its circulation because his left arm and his legs were frozen. Therefore, he found it a lot more difficult to adjust his condition and his bodys state. This was also a substantial reason why he felt so exhausted after just ten hours. If he had done this before he was injured, he could continue for two days and two nights without a problem.
I have to accelerate my absorption of the Ultimate Ice origin energy of heaven and earth. Fortunately, Ive found so thods recently
Fifteen minutes went by, but Huo Yuhao was still sitting there motionless, and the round was inching towards its end. There were very few people who had placed their bets on him, but these few people were still exceedingly displeased as they watched him, and many of them even started to curse and shout.
There would be a corresponding doll on the soul engineers respective desks for each soul tool that they completed. At this point, the soul engineer with the most soul tools had six finished products, but Huo Yuhao hadnt even completed one. He wouldnt even be allowed to enter the faceoff after this if he didnt have a single completed soul tool.
Everybody looked on as the ten hours slowly ticked down to fifteen minutes...
