Section 264: Challenger
"Hey, Pu Zitong? I think it's time for you to leak my whereabouts in the capital. Back at the hotel, Zhang Su dialed Pu Zitong's phone and spoke.
"Heh, do you still need to leak? The one who should have gone has already chased you, but I warn you, it seems that it is not only the three I said who will come to you this time, I heard that there are other people, and the plan you arranged before may have to change. After listening to Zhang Su's words, Pu Zitong reminded with a smile.
"Anyone else chased to this capital?" Zhang Su frowned and asked.
"Well, I heard that there are more than a dozen, because I haven't found any trace of you, so I didn't go to the war letter, I went directly to look for you, and now I should be in the capital, maybe someone will greet you when you walk on the road one day, you be careful." Pu Zitong confirmed on the phone.
"Dozen? Why so many? Did I have honey on me? Zhang said with a wry smile.
"Haha, it's shit that attracts flies, so be careful, don't get bitten by flies." Hearing Zhang Su's bitter laughter, Pu Zitong laughed, and then described.
Hearing Pu Zitong describe himself as shit, Zhang Su pursed his lips, looking like he didn't want to continue answering.
"What level of soul power are they all at?" In view of his own safety, Zhang Su still asked.
"Are you asking the dozen or so soul masters who went to find you? I don't have accurate information about them, they are all at the advanced Soul King level, but I heard that one or two of them seem to have advanced to the junior Soul Ancestor. After Zhang Su asked, Pu Zitong thought about it and replied.
"And the Soul Ancestor? Trouble. Hearing that there was a Soul Ancestor among the challengers, Zhang Su couldn't help but worry.
The reason why Zhang Su is worried is not because of how much threat the junior soul ancestor poses to him, even if the intermediate soul ancestor comes to him, he has the strength to fight, but he is worried that if he shows too strong strength before the ability appraisal of the soul hunting company, the company will be suspicious of him, and the second and third items of the ability appraisal will become extremely dangerous for him, maybe the company will be curious to use some special probing methods against him, which makes him not know what to do.
"Trouble? With your strength, even if you can't defeat the junior soul ancestor, you won't have to worry about your life, right? After Zhang Su spoke, Pu Zitong asked puzzled.
"Well, it's okay, forget it, the one who should come will always come, I'll first take those three people who have already made a war book to practice their hands, among the three, which persimmon is easier to pinch?" Zhang replied noncommittally, and then asked.
Hearing Zhang Su's inquiry, Pu Zitong first giggled on the other end of the phone, laughed for a while, and then leaned closer to the earpiece and said: "Xiang Yang of the Xiang family, the son of a small soul master family, although the family is a little weak and can't provide him with many resources, but he has great soul master potential, so he is promoted faster than the younger generation specially cultivated in some big clans, and he has reached the advanced soul king at a young age, but compared with the other two soul masters who have written the battle book, he is still the weakest." ”
"Okay, then I'll find him to practice first, but I don't know where he is in the capital, where can I go to find him?" Zhang Su nodded, and then asked thoughtfully.
"He won't tell me his whereabouts, I naturally can't know where he is in the capital, but since he is chasing you, he shouldn't be too far away from you, I have that Yang phone number in the message I gave you, you can call and try, but I want to remind you that once you take the initiative to show up, the challengers will continue to find you in the future, and you may not have a free time." After Zhang asked, Pu Zitong replied, and there seemed to be some warning in his tone.
Zhang Su naturally knew what Pu Zitong meant, but at present, he needed someone to pass the time, the more people came, the more he could openly delay the time of ability appraisal, and the longer the time dragged on, the less it would make the headquarters of the Soul Hunting Company suspicious of him, so he didn't pay too much attention to Pu Zitong's warning.
"I see." Zhang Su turned out the information that Pu Zitong had sent him about Xiang Yang before, nodded and replied to the other end of the phone, and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
Beijing is a super first-tier city, with a prosperous economy, extensive resources, and abundant talents, and the area close to the center is much more prosperous than the second-tier city of Qicheng as a whole.
It was already afternoon when Zhang Su surrendered to the hotel, and the night had fallen after the call with Pu Zitong, looking at the dark sky outside the window, and then looking at the traffic that was still flowing on the road in front of the hotel, sighing at the prosperity of the capital, he also recalled his first job, and remembered the days of his busy struggle.
However, for the soul master, a peaceful state of mind can better carry out soul power cultivation, and the superfluous emotions like chicken blood are harmful to him and not beneficial, so not long after Zhang Su had this emotional impulse, he strangled it in the depths of his spiritual sense, closed the window, closed the curtains of the hotel, and sat back on the bed and quietly ran the exercises.
Ye Fei's bounty task did not make Zhang Su consume much soul power, but when he subdued the ghost wood caviar later, it cost Zhang Su nearly thirty percent of his soul power, although three percent of his soul power is not much for Zhang Su, it can be calculated by Zhang Su's soul amount of the primary soul ancestor now, and it is actually quite a lot, in order to restore the soul power to a full state again, Zhang Su ran the Origin Apocalypse Soul Gong for more than an hour before it was completely recovered.
After a long and uninterrupted operation of the exercises, Zhang Su felt a feeling of exhaustion and exhaustion in all the internal organs in his body, and this feeling quickly spread to the whole body as the exercises stopped, making Zhang Su a little frightened, this was the first time he had this phenomenon after forging his soul and gathering dust.
"Why are you so tired? Why does it feel like my body is overdrawn? It can't be that I made a mistake when I was running the exercises, right? As the exhaustion of his body continued to feed back into his spiritual sense, Zhang Wei muttered to himself worriedly, checking his memory from the time he had just run the exercises, wanting to see if he had made a mistake.
"This time it's exactly the same way as before, there's no problem!" After a moment of spiritual search, Zhang Su spoke as if he was answering the question he had just asked.
After asking and answering himself, Zhang Su fell into deep contemplation, searching over and over again in his spiritual consciousness the process of running the exercises just now, and worriedly trying to find out the fragment that caused his body problems.
"Sure enough, it's still not, the exercises are running as usual, and there is nothing wrong, it can't be that there is something wrong with my body, right?" At the end of the seventh search, Zhang Su sat down on the bed hunched over, then opened his eyes, looked down forcefully, looked at his own body, and opened his mouth to question.
After bowing his head, Zhang Su found that his whole body was still wrapped in clothes and he couldn't see the surface of his body, so he struggled to control his hands and feet, stripped off the clothes all over his body, and carefully examined them. TV updates the fastest //
"The body surface is intact, there are no inexplicable injuries, there are no insect bites, except for some sweat smell, everything else is normal, and it doesn't seem to be a physical problem." Zhang Su looked himself from top to bottom, touched and sensed with his hands where his eyes couldn't see, and didn't find any special injuries.
There was no problem with the operation of the exercises, and there was no major problem in his body, which made Zhang Su a little confused for a while, but the worry in his heart did not diminish at all.
"What's the problem?" Zhang Su said tangledly.
"Big brother, I feel that something is not quite right with the soul dust around me." Just when Zhang Su was entangled, the wraith opened his mouth in Zhang Su's body and said.
"Soul dust? What happened to Soul Dust? The transmission of the wraith made Zhang Su suddenly excited, and asked suspiciously.
"Just when the eldest brother's exercise was halfway through the operation just now, the shell of the soul dust that floated into the house was no longer as irregular as the shell of ordinary soul dust, and it seemed that all of a sudden it had become thicker." After Zhang asked, the Wraith briefly explained. Recommended ReadingTV//
"Soul dust's shell thickened? Indeed, I did feel this way when I was forging the soul dust in the second half just now, but the shell of the soul dust should have been naturally generated, maybe the thick shell soul dust happened to float to me. Hearing the Wrai's explanation, Zhang Su seemed to recall something, and said a little abruptly.
"If it's just one or two grains of soul dust with a heavy shell, it's a good thing to say, but doesn't the eldest brother feel it? Our room seems to be filled with that kind of heavy soul dust, maybe it's ......" Seeing that Zhang Su understood a little, the wraith continued to pass on the voice to Zhang Su, speculating.
"You're saying someone is doing something in the shadows?" Hearing the speculation of the wraith, Zhang Su frowned, vigilantly looked around with his soul eyes, and then his spiritual sense was completely spread, and while probing the soul power around him, he asked the wraith echo.
"I don't know, I just feel that way." The Wraith was just speculating, so he didn't dare to know for sure.
Although the wraith was not sure, Zhang Su felt that what the wraith said was very likely, so he used his spiritual sense to seriously perceive the fluctuations of soul power within a range of hundreds of meters, wanting to find some clues.
Zhang Su first found that the soul dust in his house did have a thick shell, which was completely different from the thick shell of the soul dust outside the house, and then, he followed this clue to trace the flow of soul dust, and used his soul power and spiritual sense to probe all the way to the outside of the house, and followed the traces to a room on the first floor of the hotel.
"Soul probe? Zhang Su, you actually found me so quickly, and you really have some ability. Just when Zhang Su probed the soul master in the room downstairs, the soul master also seemed to be aware of Zhang Su's soul power, smiled, and said to Zhang Su.
"Who are you?" When Zhang Su heard the voice of the soul master, he obviously admitted the matter of the soul dust, and asked in displeasure.
"Jin Yao, half-step soul ancestor, apprentice of Xiwang Zhai Guangchengzi." After Zhang Su asked, the soul sound was transmitted back to Zhang Su's soul again.
"Xiwang Zhai? Is it an organization in the Soul Master Realm? Hearing that the soul master reported to his home, Zhang Su frowned and asked.
"yes, uh, you haven't even heard of Xiwangzhai? It's rude! Are you looking down on me? Seeing that Zhang Su didn't know Xiwang Zhai, Jin Yao hurriedly sent his voice back, and his tone was full of displeasure.
"No, I've only been a soul master for a year, and a lot of things are still unclear, and it's normal that I haven't heard of your organization, but it's you, why did you change the soul dust in my house when I was running the exercises, did you want to design and harm me? Are you trying to find fault? After listening to Jin Yao's transmission, Zhang Su also asked in a displeased tone.
"Spiritual sense is quite sensitive, it's not harmful, it's just a prank, so that your body is in a state of severe fatigue, of course, I'm not crazy, I won't engage in this kind of prank for no reason, my purpose is very simple, I want to learn from you, see how capable you are." After Zhang Yao's questioning, Jin Yao seemed to be very excited, and his tone was slightly arrogant.
"Talk to me? Why? When Zhang Su heard the word "sparring", he probably knew what was going on, but he still confirmed it.
"The Pu family is competing to recruit relatives, what else can there be? I heard that you came to this capital from Qicheng, I followed you all the way, and I have been waiting for you in this hotel, just to wait for the opportunity to learn skills with you, you won't refuse me, right? After Zhang Su transmitted the sound, Jin Yao confirmed.
"Sure enough." After listening to Jin Yao's words, Zhang Su said silently in his heart, and after silently reciting, he directly turned over and lay down on the bed.
"What? Are you still going to hide? Your whereabouts have always been mysterious and difficult to trace, but no matter where you hide, I can find you, so if you want to hide from others, you can save it, if you want to hide from me, it's better to accept the challenge and fight with me with soul master methods. Seeing that Zhang Su paused for a moment and did not answer himself, Jin Yao's transmission asked Zhang Su for transmission again.
Seeing that Jin Yao was unrelenting, Zhang Su frowned and thought for a moment, and then seriously transmitted his voice to Jin Yao: "Tomorrow at noon, you pick a location." ”
"Okay, happy, then at twelve o'clock at noon, let's go to the Shuren Park not far from this hotel, and we'll see you then." Seeing that Zhang Su agreed, Jin Yao became even more excited, and hurriedly arranged.
"Yes, but let's set the rules of the competition in advance, otherwise it will not be good if either side disagrees with the final result and continues to mess around." After Jin Yao's arrangement, Zhang Su felt that there was no problem with the time and place, nodded his head, and then suggested.
"Rules? Let's use the rules of competition commonly used in the soul master world, that is, after signing a life and death contract, the free competition, the side that admits defeat or loses combat power is negative, if I lose, I will leave the capital by myself, and I will no longer trouble you from now on. After Zhang Su's suggestion, Jin Yao seemed to have been prepared and responded quickly.
"Free competition? You mean that all types of soul master means can be used freely? Hearing Jin Yao's response, Zhang Su frowned and asked.
"That's right, each soul master has his own unique means, ordinary soul masters major in soul skills, medical soul masters major in medicine, and the attainments of the soul master are above the horcruxes, if the comparative test methods are restricted, then it will be unfair to the soul masters who are not the main soul masters, so you have to compete freely, just look at the comprehensive strength." After Zhang Su's questioning, Jin Yao responded again.
"That's what I said, then let's compete freely, but I still want to ask, you shouldn't be an ordinary soul master, right?" Zhang Su agreed to Jin Yao's rules, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, and Chuan Yin asked.
"Ha, the reaction is quite fast, I am indeed not an ordinary soul master, more precisely, I should be regarded as a soul doctor, the little trick I used to trick you just now is one of my soul healing skills." Zhang Yao's question made Jin Yao laugh and replied.
"Sure enough, I'll see you tomorrow at noon." Seeing that Jin Yao confessed, Zhang Su didn't react too surprised, and calmly transmitted his voice back, ending the conversation with the challenger who was one floor away from him.
As Jin Yao said, those thick-shelled soul dust were just some pranks and tricks, and there was no real danger, so after a period of rest and pranayama, Zhang Su discharged some of the five elements impurities remaining in his body, and the feeling of exhaustion and exhaustion on his body gradually disappeared, and soon returned to his original state.
Sensing that his body had recovered, Zhang Su was relieved, got up and put on his clothes again, tidied up his appearance a little, and went to a snack street not far from the hotel, where he feasted and replenished his body.
After being full of wine and food, Zhang Su returned to the hotel again, set up a protective ban in his room with his soul power, and then lay on the bed and fell asleep, until the next morning, the mobile phone alarm clock rang, Zhang Su woke up from his deep sleep, hid his soul power, and quietly left the hotel, and took the subway to Maoer Street again.
"Mr. Wu." Walking into the rubble antique shop again, Zhang Su shouted softly inside, and at this time, the Wukong mask was put on his face again.
"Who?" After Zhang Su snorted lightly, Wu Miao, still wearing his black cloth Tang suit, sat up from a recliner behind the counter, looked at Zhang Su who pushed the door and walked into the store with a confused look, and asked impatiently.
"It's me, the soul master who came to you last time to consult Tian Lao's reward, do you still know this mask?" Zhang Su turned around and took the door of the store, walked to the counter of the store in a few steps, and spoke.
"Wukong Mask, oh, I remember, you are ......" Hearing Zhang Su speak, he raised his eyes and saw Zhang Su's mask, Wu Miao seemed to remember something, pointed at Zhang Su, but didn't know Zhang Su's name.
"I didn't report myself last time, just call me Wang Ergou." Zhang Su responded with a smile.
"Wang Ergou? Let's call Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, do you have anything to consult this time? To be honest, several soul masters have come to my small shop to consult, but after leaving, there has been no news, obviously they haven't found anything from the deserted house, I don't know if Mr. Wang has found anything? Hearing Zhang Su's self-reported name, Wu Miao frowned, and then asked with a smile.
"It's not that I found out, I want to ask Mr. Wu to contact that Tian Zhongzheng Tian Lao and ask him to pay the bounty, I have already caught that ghost." Zhang Su didn't care about Wu Miao's demeanor, smiled, and then said to Wu Miao.
"Caught? Others haven't even found the clues, has Mr. Wang already arrested it? Mr. Wang, if it is fake, we will not pay this bounty......" Hearing that Zhang Su said that he had caught the ghost of the bounty, Wu Miao seemed to be a little unconvinced, and frowned and reminded.
"Since Mr. Wu is the agent of Mr. Tian who is far away, then there should be Mr. Hetian's exclusive communication channel, as for whether I caught the ghost, Mr. Wu is not a soul master, so he shouldn't be able to make a judgment, but Mr. Tian can do it, just let him identify it." Zhang Su smiled, his expression unchanged, and pointed to an old bronze mirror standing on the shelf in Wu Miao's shop and spoke.
"You ......, okay, I understand." Seeing Zhang Su pointing to the bronze mirror, Wu Miao's brows slowly relaxed, and he nodded at Zhang Su, who looked much younger than himself, and then said respectfully.
