Through the power of fate, Su Yu sensed Feng Ling's probing gaze and immediately alerted Huo Yuhao.
"Yuhao, stay sharp and be ready to adapt."
Then, he turned his attention to Ye Yulin, who was seated on the main platform. Activating the power of fate, he sent a message directly to him.
"Master Ye, don't react. Stay calm and don't show any signs of alarm."
"I am Contestant No. 66, Su Yu from Sun-Moon Hall. My purpose in entering this tournament was to investigate the Xishui Alliance."
"The Xishui Alliance is backed by the Holy Spirit Cult. Nan Gongwan is actually the Second Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult. He has been concealing his true strength—he is a Titled Douluo-level Evil Soul Master. Additionally, there is another Titled Douluo from the Holy Spirit Cult present, as well as their Vice Cult Master."
Su Yu laid out the situation concisely.
Ye Yulin's heart trembled at the revelation, but his outward expression remained composed.
He had always found Nan Gongwan suspicious. However, the leader of the Xishui Alliance being somewhat shady wasn't exactly shocking—after all, this was the largest black market in Sun-Moon. Now that Su Yu had directly confirmed Nan Gongwan's identity as an Evil Soul Master, it wasn't too surprising.
What truly shook him was the presence of the Vice Cult Master of the Holy Spirit Cult and another Titled Douluo-level elder.
This…
I only agreed to be a guest here out of courtesy… just to endorse this tournament and earn a tiny bit of rare metals on the side.
And now, in the final round, I find myself surrounded by three high-level Evil Soul Masters?!
One Hyper Douluo and two Titled Douluos!
However, after the initial shock, Ye Yulin quickly regained his composure.
As a Rank 9 Soul Engineer, he was a figure on par with Jing Hongchen. While he was slightly weaker in overall combat ability, he possessed the Sun God Needle, a powerful soul tool capable of unleashing devastating bursts of energy.
With it in hand, he could at least deter a Rank 97 Hyper Douluo.
Moreover, there was also Su Yu, the monstrous genius who had demonstrated the strength to withstand the combined attacks of two Hyper Douluo, ranked 97 and 98, just the day before.
The only thing Ye Yulin was worried about now was the possibility of being dragged into the conflict between Sun-Moon Hall and the Holy Spirit Cult. If that happened, he could probably kiss his peaceful days goodbye.
Still, going up against Evil Soul Masters was far preferable to the alternative—being forced to work alongside them in the future.

Su Yu noted Ye Yulin's composure and, at the same time, used the power of fate to conduct a final sweep of the area.
Were there any other hidden Evil Soul Masters?
He carefully scanned the entire arena, leaving nothing unchecked. Then, pushing his ability further, he used the power of fate to predict the movements of powerful Evil Soul Masters within Sun-Moon itself.
"Hmm… That so-called 'National Preceptor' is still in the imperial palace.
Long Xiaoyao is nowhere to be found, but under my fate-detection, I can confirm that he isn't anywhere near this arena."
After double-checking everything, Su Yu finally reached out to Huo Yuhao and Ye Yulin.
"It's done."
---
At that moment, the final stroke of Su Yu's carving was complete.
In his hands, a soul tool the size of a fist, shimmering with starlight, took shape.
The moment the core formation was fully engraved, the Star Radiance soul tool began autonomously absorbing the power of the stars. The glimmering specks of light within it pulsed in a rhythmic cycle.
"An eighth-tier soul tool—Star Radiance."
At the same time, Huo Yuhao had also completed his work.
The soul engraving knife in his grip radiated a biting cold. The complex array of soul formations and the energy fluctuations when infused with soul power proved its rank—a top-tier seventh-tier soul engraving knife.
However, at that moment, Contestant No. 98, representing the Xishui Alliance, made a fatal mistake.
His engraving knife slipped across the core of his soul tool.
A violent surge of soul power erupted, disrupting the surrounding formations. The energy overflowed into other core formations, causing an immediate chain reaction.
Boom!
The unstable energy clashed within the circuit patterns, triggering an explosion.
---
"Referee, I forfeit the upcoming combat trial." Huo Yuhao declared.
Among the three competitors:
- One had failed the soul tool creation round.
- Another, Huo Yuhao, had successfully crafted a top-tier seventh-tier soul tool but chose to withdraw from the final battle.
- That left Su Yu, the only one to create an eighth-tier soul tool, as the undisputed victor.
"In that case, the champion of this year's Soul Engineer Tournament is Contestant No. 66 from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce arena!"
Ye Yulin personally announced the results, presenting Su Yu with the championship rewards.
---
"Apart from the rewards prepared by Xishui Alliance, Pingfan Alliance, and Aodu Chamber of Commerce, I am also offering a special prize—one of my own creations: the Sun-Moon God Needle."
Ye Yulin's voice rang out across the arena.
"The Sun-Moon God Needle is an improved version of my Sun God Needle.
I have resolved its dependency on specific environmental conditions, allowing for more versatile use."
As he introduced the Sun-Moon God Needle, he simultaneously demonstrated its functions, carefully explaining its mechanics.
Most importantly, when discussing the charging mechanism, Ye Yulin subtly emphasized its operation.
While speaking, he continued injecting his own soul power into the Sun-Moon God Needle, charging it as he explained.
"The Sun-Moon God Needle can be charged three times in total. After each use, it will take five days for the soul power to dissipate before it can be used again."
It seemed like Ye Yulin had been taking a bit too long, as both Nan Gongwan and Feng Ling in the VIP room began to sense something was wrong.
"Move!"
Su Yu's voice echoed in the minds of Huo Yuhao and Ye Yulin.
Boom!
Soul power was released without reservation.
"Sun-Moon Hall, execute the mission. No one move!" Huo Yuhao held up Jing Hongchen's order, using his spiritual power to subdue the confused crowd.
"The Xishui Alliance is colluding with Evil Soul Masters! This crime cannot go unpunished!"
With that, Su Yu made his move, releasing his Martial Soul.
"Su Yu!"
"How dare you!"
Nan Gongwan cursed inwardly, realizing he was right—Su Yu and Huo Yuhao were indeed the ones behind this.
In the VIP room, Feng Ling's voice rang out, and a phoenix cry echoed from within.
Boom!
Ye Yulin made his move. With a forceful wave of spiritual power, he shattered the barrier in the VIP room, immediately locking onto Feng Ling.
The Sun-Moon God Needle was charged with massive soul power. In an instant, a terrifying laser shot out from the pinhole-sized opening.
The arena was plunged into chaos.
The audience scattered, fearing the aftermath of a Super Douluo-level battle.
This wasn't the Great Soul Arena, where various soul tool shields would ensure safety even in the event of a Super Douluo conflict.
No, this was just a temporary arena, with no proper equipment to protect the spectators.
The Sun-Moon God Needle's explosion reverberated throughout Sun-Moon, shaking the entire city.
"Give it to me!"
Su Yu unleashed his Martial Soul's true form, summoning a massive arm made of Blue Silver Grass, the size of a giant, reaching toward Nan Gongwan.
The biggest threat on the field was still Nan Gongwan's soul tool bomb.
He couldn't let it explode.
"The thing in your hand is too dangerous."
Above the colossal Blue Silver Emperor, countless Blue Silver Grass tendrils intertwined, forming a massive hand to grab Nan Gongwan.
Nan Gongwan's pupils shrank in horror. Facing Su Yu's hand, which exuded an overwhelming, terrifying pressure, he felt an immense sense of crisis.
"No!"
