Zhang Su didn't know what the words on the jade tile meant, so he put the jade tile in his pocket, and watched the sun slowly disappear towards the back of the mountain, Zhang Su knew that he had to hurry up and return to the Heavenly Soul Castle, otherwise it would be dark, even if he had the experience of climbing down the mountain, he would not be able to make the most correct judgment because of the shortening of his vision, and the danger would increase exponentially.

Remembering the way he came, it would not be very troublesome to go back, following the uneven path, passing through the low stone houses again, and passing the boulder millstone in the center of the village, Zhang Su soon came to the side of the village on the mountain, out of the door of the village, and also arrived at the place where he came down from the cliff earlier.

Zhang Su turned his head and looked at the village he had just visited, he always felt that there was a pair of eyes hidden in this village peeking at himself who was about to leave, but he didn't see anyone behind him, not even a living animal, Zhang Su only thought that he had stolen other people's things, and he felt uneasy about being a thief in his heart, and there was no other more reasonable explanation, Zhang Su thought, since he had taken out the jade tile from the house on the other side of the river, even if he left the jade tile here, it would be taken away by the later people, who took it.

As long as a person's greed is born, no matter how many reasons he puts it down, it seems insignificant, and in addition to this seemingly valuable jade tile in his heart, there is also a poor life in the past.

Since no one followed behind him, and no one saw that he had taken someone else's things, Zhang Su came back to his senses, picked up the stones when he came, and climbed towards the Heavenly Soul Fort on the top of the mountain again, and in less than two hours, Zhang Su successfully climbed to the top of the mountain, and came to the outside of the backyard of the barren Heavenly Soul Fort, and saw a lot of people gathered in the pool through the fence, some whispered, some deliberately coaxed, and it seemed as if something had happened.

Zhang Su found a raised stone close to the cliff wall, supported his body with his arms, climbed up, and looked towards the pool in the courtyard, there were two people standing in the wide pool confronting each other, one was black and thin and tall, with a small pigtail on the top of his head, Zhang Su recognized it, this person was the person named Cao Xuanqing who duel with Ye Liao earlier, standing opposite Cao Xuanqing, it was actually Pu Zitong who came from Qicheng with Zhang Su, although the two of them were in a good position, they didn't know what to say to each other, but they hadn't really fought yet.

Because the outer wall of the courtyard was too far away from the pool, it was not very clear to see under the crowd, Zhang Su finally decided to leave the raised rock, trotted all the way around the main gate of the Heavenly Soul Castle, entered from the main entrance, and then returned to the fort, and came to the balcony on the second floor of the Heavenly Soul Castle that once made the Lord of the Heavenly Soul Castle fall, from there, the scene near the pool can be seen at a glance, which Zhang Su found when visiting the Heavenly Soul Castle, and it is an excellent location designed by wealthy merchants to watch the backyard.

Fan Zengming also held the same view as Zhang Su, and when Zhang Su arrived, Fan Zengming was already leaning on the side of the balcony, tilting his head, looking at the scene below with a serious expression.

"Brother Fan!"

Zhang Su said hello, although they had just met in the morning, but because of the excitement, the two got together for the first time.

"It turned out to be Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you all day since the meeting, I wanted the three of us to have a meal at noon, but I found that you weren't in the room." Although Fan Zengming said with a smile, he seemed to have some complaints about Zhang Su's disappearance.

"Huh? I'm sorry, Brother Fan, I see that the environment of Tiansoul Mountain is good, so I walked around the mountain and down the mountain, didn't I just come back. Zhang apologized first, and then explained.

Zhang Su knows that as a trio of Qicheng Branch, the three of them have not been together for a long time, and they have not really gotten acquainted with each other, Fan Zengming is more serious than that, unlike Hu Xi, who has the ability to get acquainted with strangers, not to mention Pu Zitong, as soon as he came up, he showed the feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away, what about himself, personality, he has been a lone ranger since he was a child, and he has no cooperation and collective concept, so he acts alone many times, after Fan Zengming did not propose to have dinner in advance, Of course he wasn't going to stay in his room and wait, he had to find something to do.

Zhang Su also knew that the teams of other branches were scattered at the beginning, but after two days, almost all of them acted in unity under the leadership of the team leader, and they also took more care of each other and had a more harmonious atmosphere, of course, this is also what Zhang Su wanted, but Zhang Su thought that he did not have that kind of group consciousness in his personality, and naturally he did not have the ability to organize.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, and it's to blame that I didn't inform you in advance, let's have dinner together in the evening."

Fan Zengming saw that Zhang Su was not deliberately evading, and suggested again, and decided to arrange everyone to have another dinner to enhance each other's feelings, after all, the training has three months, this time is not long or short, if the newcomer joins the company, then there are more opportunities to get along, in Zhang Su's view, the soul master is originally a high-risk profession, and the company needs to have a certain cohesion between the soul masters in order to achieve the purpose of helping each other.

Although Zhang Su is alone, he still has to listen to the opinions of his predecessors, which is also related to his training effect at the current stage and the relationship between colleagues after joining the company, so Zhang Su readily agreed, and said a few more words to each other.

"Brother Zhang, do you want to watch a good show?" As he spoke, Fan Zengming asked.

"What's the show?" Zhang replied puzzled, but probably guessed in his heart that Fan Zengming was referring to the two people facing each other in the dry pool, and of course he was not sure that Fan Zengming was referring to this matter.

"You haven't seen a duel between soul masters, have you?" Fan Zengming asked again.

"A duel between soul masters?"

Zhang Su repeated Fan Zengming's words, thinking in his mind about the duel between Ye Liao and Cao Xuanqing that he had seen before, which should also be regarded as a duel between soul masters, but all he could see was the physical battle between the two, and the highlight of the soul master should be in the battle of souls, and he had not seen the duel between souls with his own eyes, so Zhang Su was struggling with whether he had seen it or not.

Fan Zengming saw Zhang Su's puzzled expression, without saying a word, he stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhang Su's shoulder gently, and then turned his palm into a claw, pulled Zhang Su back, let go of his hand, and turned his head again to look at the situation in the pool.

Zhang Su was still thinking, Fan Zengming suddenly performed a series of actions, which made Zhang Su have no psychological defense at all, just when his body was pulled back by Fan Zengming, Zhang Su felt his body fall towards the ground of the balcony, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, Zhang Su didn't know what was happening, subconsciously a carp stiffened, jumped up from the ground, and reached out to grab the balcony railing in front of him, but when Zhang Su's two hands touched the railing, he inexplicably swept past between the railings, and his hands grabbed a void at once, But the body was not shaken.

When he just wanted to question Fan Zengming why he attacked him, he saw his hands looming, Zhang Su was shocked, his hands had no skin and flesh, and even said that there was no substance, the only thing he could see was the outline of the hand and the blue light on it, the fluorescent light loomed on the arm, constantly wandering, like an uneasy and lonely molecule, but the outline of the hand could not be rushed.

"What's wrong with me?"

Zhang Su looked down at his body and found that the whole body was the same as his own hands, there was a feeling of being there and nothing, it seemed so unreal, but it actually existed, Zhang Su asked in horror, he thought he was dead.

"Don't worry, I'm just letting you out of your body for a short time, of course I'll restore you later, and now you can already see your soul." Fan Zengming explained.

"Is this my soul?"

Zhang Su looked at his empty body, and then at the motionless body sitting on the ground behind him, feeling as if he had traveled to another world, and what was left after the horror was surprise, and he found that his soul had a light and fluttering feeling, but it didn't really float.

"Yes, this is your soul, don't run around, you are now relying on external forces to achieve out-of-body souls, and you can't control the soul wave well, and you can't control your soul well, so you can only stay on this balcony that I blocked with the soul wave, otherwise you may fall into an inexplicable place, or even trapped there, so then you can focus on enjoying the duel between the two soul masters, and the duel between Miss Pu and the black thin soul master can be used as your enlightenment before you become a soul master." Fan Zengming nodded and replied.

Zhang Su understood what Fan Zengming meant, glanced at Fan Zengming, nodded at Fan Zengming in response, and then turned his face to look at the two people in the dry pool, only to find that the world seen by the eyes of his soul and the world seen by the eyes of his body were completely different scenes.

Cao Xuanqing is no longer just a thin black boy, there is a Qingguang soul in front of him who looks exactly like him but is taller.

Pu Zitong is no longer a cute Lori who looks harmless to humans and animals, there are three things in front of her that can be called souls, one of which is almost exactly the same as Pu Zitong's appearance and figure, and the other two look like bewitching and tall female silhouettes, held by the rope similar to crystal silk threads released from Pu Zitong's body, standing sideways in front of Pu Zitong, facing Cao Xuanqing.

"Are they already soul masters?" Zhang Su couldn't help asking.

"Well, judging from the techniques of the two, the black thin boy should be from the Cao family of the soul master, and Miss Pu should be from the Pu family of the soul master." Fan Zengming replied.

"Soul Master Family? Why did you come to the Soul Hunting Company, I heard Brother Hu Xige say that the Soul Master family has its own bounty business? Zhang asked incomprehensibly.

"It stands to reason that this is the case, but I don't know the specifics, so what the purpose should be." Fan Zengming guessed, but there was no hint of doubt in his tone.

"Why does Miss Pu have three souls?" Since Fan Zengming said that he didn't know, Zhang Su once again turned his gaze to the battlefield in front of him.

"Do you know why the Pu family is called the Drama Soul Master?" Fan Mingzeng asked Zhang suspiciously.

Zhang Su, as an ordinary novice who just knew that there was still a soul master in the world, could only shake his head.

"The so-called soul master, in addition to their own cultivation of soul power, many soul masters find another way to find a way to enhance their strength, the soul master Pu family has found a way to control other souls, relying on the number to win in the battle, the Pu family was unknown in the soul master world earlier, but hundreds of years ago, an ancestor of the Pu family created a technique called the soul of the play, in fact, it is to use a certain means to manipulate other souls other than their own souls, the control method is similar to the people in the shadow puppet play to manipulate the marionette, because the technique is unique, It can also improve the combat power of the soul master, and this soul skill has become the exclusive signature of the Pu family, which is known as the soul master by the outside world, and relies on the soul skill to enter the seat of the nine families. Fan Mingzeng explained to Zhang Su the origin of the title of Soul Master.

"In other words, the soul that looks very similar to Miss Pu is her own, and the other two who are manipulated by Miss Pu are the souls of people who have died, doesn't this violate the code of ethics?" Zhang Su asked with some surprise, in the traditional concept, what to do to the deceased is more like blasphemy against the deceased.

"As a soul master, knowing the existence of a dead soul, in fact, you will have more respect for the dead, in the soul master realm, anyone who has a soul master abusing the dead soul will be condemned by the soul master in this world, and anyone who does not listen to dissuasion, the entire soul master world will attack it in groups." Fan Zengming explained.

"So isn't it cruelty for Miss Pu to manipulate the souls of the dead to fight?" Zhang asked puzzled.

"I didn't say it was a dead soul, remember what I told you about forging the soul to gather dust?" Fan Zengming asked Zhang Su.

"Remember, isn't that the basic principle of cultivating soul power?" Zhang replied suspiciously.

"That's right, Miss Pu's two drama souls are soulless souls gathered from soul dust using the soul forging and dust gathering technique, and they are not real dead souls, a bit similar to soul clones." Fan Zengming's answer came out.

"Doppelganger? Isn't that a three-on-one situation, and it's very advantageous to face Miss Pu. Zhang Su suddenly brightened.

"No, you haven't really become a soul master now, you can't perceive the soul power, Pu Zitong's soul is about the same strength as the black thin boy opposite, but the cultivation level of those two drama souls is not enough, the soul power is not high, and it can't reach the same level as your own soul, you can only use it as an auxiliary in the battle, and you can't cause substantial damage to the other party's soul, so the strength of the two sides has not distanced themselves. What's more, the characteristic of the Cao family, the soul master, is to defeat the strong with the weak! Fan Zengming analyzed carefully.

"Defeating the strong with the weak?" Zhang asked puzzled, he couldn't see that the thin black boy in front of him still had this ability.

"Soul Seeking Master is the unique name of the Cao family, the soul masters of the Cao family like to collect all kinds of soul skills, some soul masters focus on further developing and upgrading these soul skills into powerful and unique soul skills, these soul masters are the soul skill developers of the Cao family; The Cao family also has a class of soul masters who are good at matching and combining existing soul skills, and using some ordinary soul skills to match powerful combination soul skills, these soul masters are the soul skill combination of the Cao family, and the Cao family also has soul masters who are both soul skill developers and soul skill combinations, so if you fight with the soul master Cao family, it is difficult to make an effective target, because few people can guess what kind of soul skills or soul skill combinations they will use, which is like a strong elephant dealing with a tiger hiding in the shadows, Agile tigers are always able to defeat elephants that are several times more powerful than themselves. Fan Zengming explained to Zhang Su simply and clearly:

"I see, that Miss Pu should be very tricky for the people of the Cao family." Zhang Su seemed to understand what Fan Zengming meant.

"Look closely, here we go."

Just when Zhang Su wanted to ask for some information, Fan Zengming reminded, and Zhang Su's eyes immediately turned to the pool battlefield below.

"The eyes of Zhige are open!"

Cao Xuanqing shouted softly, on his soul, the hollow eye sockets continued to gather pale cyan points of light, and the points of light condensed and formed, like a shining eyeball constantly flashing with light.

"Soul mimic!"

After the soul gathered his eyes, Cao Xuanqing did not stop, and continued to whisper, and then, Cao Xuanqing's soul changed from the original human form to the form of a vicious wolf, and the vicious wolf jumped on the ground, showing a flexible posture.

"The kid of the Cao family is really not bad, as soon as he came up, he used the combination of soul skills such as the Eye of Zhige and Soul Mimic, it seems that it is inevitable." Fan Zengming praised.

Zhang Su didn't understand why Cao Xuanqing's soul skill combination was so powerful, so he just watched silently.

Pu Zitong's side, as if he saw Cao Xuanqing use a pair of soul skill combinations, his eyes became cautious, and the silk thread stretched out in his hand trembled back and forth, making the two drama souls set up a defensive posture around the main soul, one drama soul gathered a long green light vine rope in his hand, and the other drama soul raised his left hand and held up a Scottish round shield-shaped shield in front of him, and the shield was also full of blue light.

"Azure Shield! Soul Rope! Pu Zitong also shouted softly.

But this is not the end, Pu Zitong's main soul has an extra blue light condensed umbrella in his hand, the main soul holds the umbrella handle, and the tip of the umbrella is a dagger-long green thorn pointed at Cao Xuanqing's soul that has turned into a hungry wolf, and poses a provocative posture to pierce it.

"Pu Ming Umbrella!" Pu Zitong said softly again.

"Although the soul power of the drama soul is not too high, but each drama soul has cultivated soul skills, one is a control soul skill, one is a defensive soul skill, plus the Pu family's secret technique Pu Ying Umbrella, this drama soul combination is also good." Fan Zengming saw Pu Zitong release his soul technique, and explained on the side.

After a while, the souls of the two sides scuffled together, and Cao Xuanqing's evil wolf soul took the lead in attacking, rushing towards Pu Zitong, moving like an agile and nimble wolf, but when attacking, it was even more ferocious than a real wolf.

Pu Zitong was not to be outdone, on the one hand, he let the drama soul holding the long rope throw out the long rope and wrap it around the evil wolf, on the other hand, the soul and the drama soul with the round shield rushed forward together, covering the bodies of the two souls with the round shield, and the spikes of the umbrella head pierced the eyebrows of the evil wolf, and the momentum was not lost to Cao Xuanqing.

The evil wolf seemed to see through Pu Zitong's actions, his flexible body moved back and forth, easily dodged the long rope that was entangled, his body went around the side of the round shield, raised his sharp claws, and slapped it fiercely at the main soul, as if he wanted to tear Pu Zitong's main soul apart.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the soul who held the shield immediately changed the direction of the shield, turned his body ninety degrees on the ground, knelt on one knee, and faced the evil wolf who rushed in front of him, blocking the attack of the evil wolf with the shield, and then controlled the main soul again, turned the tip of the umbrella that was originally pierced into the air, and slashed towards the evil wolf outside the shield from the side, wanting to take the opportunity to severely damage the evil wolf.

Just when Pu Zitong's slash was about to hit, the wolf left the ground with his feet again, jumped up, kicked the round shield with his hind feet, and with the help of the reaction force of the round shield, his body bounced back, and he dodged the attack of the umbrella tip to the limit, and pulled away from Pu Zitong's main soul unharmed, and returned to the confrontation situation again.

The first wave of the fight ended with the two not giving in to each other.
