The next day, the soul hunt battle was the first to start, and there was no noise of gongs and drums, and no firecrackers rang out, and it was held in silence.

The newcomers are all gathered in the vestibule of the Heavenly Soul Castle, there are not many people, there is no bustling feeling, the forty-six newcomers assembled at the beginning of the training are now only twenty-four, and the elimination rate has almost reached half, which shows that almost half of the people have failed to pass the introductory training of the soul master, and have already stumbled in front of the door of the soul master realm.

Zheng Tianqin was in front of the gate of the Heavenly Soul Castle, and spoke condescendingly to the people below: "The newcomer training is about to end, and all of you who can stay have become real soul masters, and you can be regarded as the best among the newcomers, the main responsibility of the soul hunting company is soul hunting, and your backend is this bowl of rice, and the soul hunting battle before the end of the training is used to test whether your bowl of rice can be stable, so I hope everyone can show their abilities, strive for successful soul hunting, and officially join the company." ”

"How do you think it's stable?" I don't know where a childish voice asked.

"As long as you can prove that you have the ability to hunt the souls alone during the soul hunting war, as for what method you use to hunt, the company will not ask much, the company only looks at the results of your soul hunting." Zheng Tianqin explained.

"The training was only given to us on how to cultivate our own souls, and it didn't teach us how to hunt the souls of the dead?" Voices of inquiry echoed among the crowd.

Zheng Tianqin stood straight outside the gate of the Heavenly Soul Castle, facing the vestibule, looking at the newcomers in the vestibule, and announced loudly: "Since you can become a soul master, hunting the dead soul is no longer a big problem, and then each of you will get a designated task and a dark stone cup, the task includes the location, type, and quantity of hunting the dead souls. The souls of the souls absorbed into the Soul Cup will be completely cut off from the outside world, and their soul power will be suppressed and cannot be restored, so as long as you hand over the Soul Cup with the mission Soul Cup to me, the soul hunting mission will be completed. ”

"Where's the Soul Hunting Location?" Zhang Su asked as he mingled in the crowd.

"The location is not near this Heavenly Soul Castle, the entire mountain where the Heavenly Soul Castle is located has been set up with a special forbidden enchantment, except for the powerful ghost and ghost king levels, the low-level ghosts you need to capture cannot enter this vicinity at all, so the soul hunting location will be arranged in some places where there are more low-level ghosts, and it is also a place where it is easier to hunt souls, such as hospitals, funeral homes, crematoriums and other places, you have to hunt a primordial soul and a low-level ghast according to the requirements of the task post, even if the task is completed, this needs to be carried out alone, Assistance from others does not count. Zheng Tianqin replied.

"Hunting souls alone?" Another newcomer asked.

"Of course, you need to do it yourself to hunt low-level revenants, if you can't even hunt low-level revenants on your own, then how can you accept the bounty after joining the company in the future? When you wait for the next battle, you will be divided into a group of four, a total of six groups, car after car to send you back and forth between the Heavenly Soul Castle and the Soul Hunting Land, in addition, the company will arrange an escort mentor for each group to protect and supervise the completion of your task, and those who do not capture the designated dead soul within the specified time will be deemed a failure, and the person who fails will be temporarily suspended from the Soul Hunting Company to continue to receive the second training, and cannot officially take up the post, understand? Zheng Tianqin continued to answer.

"Understood." The newcomers answered one after another.

"Okay, I'll announce the company's grouping, the first group: Cao Xuanqing, Wang Ling, Bei Xiaoxi, Wan Lei; Group 2: Pu Zitong, Zhang Su, Zhang Xuanting, Jinggang ......"

Twenty-four people are divided into six groups, the number of people is not too much, not less is exactly four people in each group, in terms of strength, the strength distribution of each group is very balanced, Cao Xuanqing, Ye Liao, Pu Zitong, Tao Haolong, Zhang Sheng, Fu Tianmei are the first of all newcomers to become a soul master, and they are also the most improved people in the soul master, which can be roughly classified as the first echelon, so the grouping result is more like letting these six people each lead a soul hunting team.

Among them, Zhang Su is the only exception, and Zhang Su's strength is also in the first echelon, but Zheng Tianqin deliberately assigned him to Pu Zitong's group, the purpose of which is estimated to deepen the relationship between him and Pu Zitong.

This kind of grouping is not what Zhang Su is looking forward to, Zhang Su is more willing to be in a group with Tao Haolong, for Cao Xuanqing, Ye Liao and Pu Zitong, Zhang Su already knows the roots, only Tao Haolong, the person who went out of the castle to practice and returned, made Zhang Su a little puzzled, and it took three months to reach the intermediate level of the Great Soul Master, and this level of cultivation is definitely outstanding among newcomers.

Zhang Su is because of the Origin of the Apocalypse Soul Skill that leads to the rapid progress of soul power, what kind of secret Tao Haolong exists, Zhang Su does not know, so Zhang Su has always wanted to use the Tablet Soul Tuo to probe his details, but Tao Haolong has a more withdrawn personality, always likes to be alone, and keeps a certain distance from everyone else, Zhang Su is difficult to find a chance to start, and as a result, in this soul hunting battle, he has not been able to create an opportunity to contact, Zhang Su can only sigh and just sigh.

"Did you hear the grouping clearly?" After the group was divided, Zheng Tianqin asked loudly.

"Hear me." The crowd answered.

"Okay, now appoint a group to six groups of temporary team leaders are Cao Xuanqing, Pu Zitong, Ye Liao, Tao Haolong, Zhang Sheng, Fu Tianmei, the six of you come up to draw the task post, in order to decide the location of your soul hunting, and then the staff will send each of you a dark stone cup as your soul hunting Horcrux, and when all the things are ready, each group of team members find their own group number vehicle, and inform the driver of the address in the task post, and the driver will drive you to the designated place, emphasizing again, Completing the task within the specified time is considered qualified, and the driver will not wait overtime because someone has not completed the task, understand? Zheng Tianqin emphasized again.

"Understood." The crowd answered.

"Okay, follow the steps, the temporary team leaders of each group come up and draw the task post, and the staff can also send the Dark Stone Cup now." Zheng Tianqin arranged.

Zhang Su is the second group, Pu Zitong as the temporary team leader went to the table in front of Zheng Tianqin to get a task post, and when Pu Zitong came down the steps and returned to the vestibule center, the remaining two members of the second group also followed, because they were both newcomers and had also conducted intensive training in the training hall, so Zhang Su was quite familiar with the two people who came with him, but he didn't know the names, but he politely greeted the two people: "Hello." ”

"Brother Zhang Su, my name is Zhang Xuanting, from Guicheng, from the same surname as you, one year younger than you, became a soul master two months ago, and now has reached the level of a senior soul master."

An inch-headed young man who was about the same height as Zhang Su walked up first, and while greeting Zhang Su, he reported to himself.

"You know me?" Zhang asked puzzled.

From Zhang Xuanting's tone, Zhang Su felt that this person seemed to be very familiar with him, and he even knew his age accurately.

"Of course I know, two months ago, the duel between you and Ye Liao for love has become a legend, and now the people in the whole day soul castle know you, and your basic information has also been made public among everyone, by the way, the Jinggang of Shaanxi City has written your story into a novel "Fairy Soul Love Road", and now it is being serialized on the Internet, it seems that two chapters have been posted, the dick soul master counterattacked the elite of the soul clan, and continued to move forward on the road of dueling for love, writing a poignant love story that can be sung and cried, In addition, the world of the soul master is so supernatural and fantasy in the eyes of ordinary people, and it is said that it was widely praised as soon as it was published. ”

As he spoke, the man named Zhang Xuanting kept getting closer to Zhang Su, and then put his arm around Zhang Su's shoulder, as happy and excited as if he was in close contact with his idol.

"Keep this position and don't move, I'll take a photo, how can a hero have no fans and fans, that Zhang Xuanting, I can also write you as a little follower of a big hero, so that you can also be familiar in the novel, how about it?"

A small man with glasses approached Zhang Su, adjusting his position as he walked, using the SLR camera hanging around his neck to take pictures of Zhang Su, and said to the man named Zhang Xuanting, directing Zhang Xuanting to pose for some pictures.

"It turns out that you are Jing Dada, I am also a fan of your novels, and I like the works you write very much, so please write me into your story, as long as you are not a villain, it is also an honor for me to be a hero follower." Zhang Xuanting excitedly greeted the visitor.

"No problem, the next chapter is the plot of the hero's frustration, you appear as the hero's follower, and use touching words to help the hero regain confidence, the hero continues to implement his chivalry in the soul master road and love competition, and those competitors are tense, and you become the hero's right and left hand, helping the hero clear the traps set by the villain, how about it, do you like this plot?" The man called Ida is choreographing his own storyline.

"Yes, yes, I like it, I'm half a hero." Zhang Xuanting smiled happily, hugged Zhang Su tighter and tighter, and pressed Zhang Su's shoulders sore.

"Stop, where is this, Zhang Xuanting, you let go of me first, my shoulder blades will be squeezed out of shape by you." Zhang grinned in discomfort and scolded.

Zhang Xuanting saw that Zhang Su's face changed, and he also knew that he was too excited to hurt Zhang Su, so he quickly let go of his hand and apologized to Zhang Su, and then looked at Zhang Su with two pitiful little eyes, as if asking for forgiveness.

"Don't heroes like it? I can also arrange Zhang Xuanting as a treacherous villain, who fell into the well after the hero was frustrated, pretending to be comforted, but in fact secretly mutilating the hero, resulting in the hero's defeat and leaving Maicheng, the injury was too serious to be treated, and finally ended up half-paralyzed. Jing Da continued to adapt the plot in his head.

"That's not what you mean, dare to ask what this brother is called." Zhang Su looked at the man called Jing Da, quickly stopped him and continued to arrange the plot, and asked politely.

"Jinggang, from Shaancheng, a main writer, photographer, and part-time soul master, the same age as Zhang Xuanting next to you, and his soul power is about the same as him, a senior soul master." The small man with glasses introduced himself.

"So you're Jing Gang, and you wrote the novel about me?" Zhang Su reacted at this time, this person is the author of "Immortal Soul Love Road" that Zhang Xuanting said.

"Yes, but it's just borrowing your rumored story as a prototype to create, if you want any royalties, don't think about it, I'm just borrowing, most of the stories are made up by myself, and it doesn't have much to do with you." Jing Gang replied flatly.

"I don't mean that, I just feel honored, I want to read your masterpiece, or we can add a friend and discuss the prologue of my legendary story at any time, so that I can provide you with some living materials, and you can also help me become a little famous, how about it?" When Zhang Su heard that Jing Gang's novel was indeed written based on himself, his face suddenly glowed with irrepressible excitement, and he was happy like a child who had been praised.

"Well......, it's okay to communicate, but I'm not going to help you write your autobiography, the kind of thing that no one reads on the Internet." Jing Gang was thundered by Zhang Su's sudden excitement, and he was a little confused by the second monk, so he could only answer truthfully.

"Look at your little bit of talent, people say it's made up, it has nothing to do with you, it's just a novel, why are you so excited?" Seeing Zhang Su's overjoyed look, Pu Zitong, who came back after the lottery, couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Zhang Su with disdain.

"Wow, the heroine has appeared, Miss Pu, do you know how Jinggangda portrays you? Say that you are 'Lori's body, delicate and pure, like the nine-day elf bred in the lotus bones, and like a fairy who sucks wind and drinks dew and does not eat fireworks in the world, it is difficult to find in the world, and the gods and ghosts are also fascinated by it'. Seeing Pu Zitong coming over, Zhang Xuanting hurriedly strode up to meet him, repeating the words and sentences written by Jing Gang in the novel.

"Really? Jinggang's writing is good.,The description of me can be so realistic.,It seems that the story of the novel should be very good.,Wait for the link to the novel to send me a copy.,I want to see it too.。 Hearing Zhang Xuanting repeat the beautiful description of her in the novel, Pu Zitong praised without blushing and heartbeat.

When Zhang was a hero, Pu Zitong seemed to be not interested in Jinggang's novels, and when Zhang Xuanting read out the description of Pu Zitong's beauty, although Pu Zitong's expression did not change much on the surface, he was already fluttering in his heart.

"Uh......, okay." Jing Gang nodded blankly.

"Now that we're all here, I'll announce the tasks on the task post." Pu Zitong calmed down his excitement and said.

"Announced? Didn't Executive Officer Zheng say everything, just go to the designated place to hunt the souls, Pu Meinu, you just say where the location is. Zhang Xuanting urged with a smile.

"That's true, but there's a little more to this task post than he said." Pu Zitong explained.

"How many more? What's more? Zhang Su asked.

"Brother Zheng is talking about the most basic form of completion of the Soul Hunting Battle, which means that as long as you complete it according to what he said, you can be counted as qualified, and the actual task lies in the two aspects of scoring setting and additional tasks." Pu Zitong continued to answer.

"What are the scoring settings and additional tasks?" Jing Gang also leaned over and asked.

"Scoring setting refers to the score setting for completing the task, a team of four people, each person completes the basic soul hunting task at the specified time, this group can get two points, and if all four people complete it, it is eight points, that is to say, the whole team can actually get eight points if they pass, and the full score is actually ten points, and the other two points are in an additional task, the additional task does not affect the personal entry assessment, but it affects the score and ranking of the soul hunting competition, and the team with the highest score and the least time will each get an additional soul skill reward." Pu Zitong explained.

"What's the additional task?" Zhang asked puzzled.

"Group Soul Hunt Mission." Pu Zitong replied.

"Soul hunting mission?" Zhang Su, Zhang Xuanting, and Jing Gang asked in unison again.

"That's right, the locations on the task post are not chosen randomly, in addition to a lot of primordial souls and low-level ghasts in each location, there will also be a powerful ghast that is being rewarded, if the four people in each group can complete the entire team task with extra points after completing the independent task, they will get two points again, and after the group has a full score, they will be evaluated according to the overall completion time, and then the first place will be selected." Pu Zitong answered seriously.

"Wouldn't that be dangerous? We're all newcomers who haven't been soul masters for a long time, so there's always some insecurity in the face of powerful ghasts. Zhang Xuanting frowned and asked.

"There should be, if I'm not mistaken, the reason why Brother Zheng didn't mention the additional task should be because he was afraid that someone would not be able to do his best, the reason why each group appoints a mentor should also be to avoid the dangerous situation of newcomers, we will be vigilant at that time, if the ghast in the additional task is too powerful, we will give up decisively, safety first, everyone has no opinion, right?" Zhang Wei pondered for a moment and replied.

"Cowardly!" Pu Zitong hummed softly.

"I agree, I just graduated and found a job that could earn money, and I didn't have the idea of dying." Zhang Xuanting smiled and agreed.

"I also agree, I entered this soul hunting company by mistake because of curiosity, travel photography, writing and sketching are my main business, soul hunting is just my side business, so I don't have a desperate plan, if I have the opportunity, I can take a look at the appearance of that powerful ghast, I need some materials." Jing Gangping nodded, and also agreed with Zhang Su's suggestion.

"Okay, since you're all so unproductive, I can't do it alone, so let's talk about it then." Seeing that the other three disagreed, Pu Zitong could only say stupidly.

"That's right, you and Brother Zhang are already so loving and happy, it's not worth looking for some kind of evil spirit, you say?" Zhang Xuanting is familiar with himself, and his body moves to Pu Zitong's side like a loach and teases.

"Who ...... with him gold"

Pu Zitong just wanted to open her mouth to refute the relationship between her and Zhang Su, as if she remembered the transaction between the two fake couples, and when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it again, and nodded pretending to be affectionate.

After the mission post and the Dark Stone Cup were all sent, Zheng Tianqin finally opened his mouth and announced: "The time has come, and the soul hunting battle has officially begun!" ”

As soon as the voice fell, everyone found their own group of business vans, Pu Zitong showed the task post to the driver and the guardian tutor, the tutor explained the content of the task post in detail again in the car, and after confirming that the members in the car had understood, the driver started the car and drove to the location marked on the task post: Donglin Funeral Home.

Everyone was talking about Zhang Su and Pu Zitong all the way, especially shocked by Zhang Su's strength as a junior soul master, but everyone attributed this to the guidance of Pu Zitong, a beautiful woman from a soul master family, which made Zhang Su very helpless, but he didn't dare to say it, and he was able to smile bitterly, and Pu Zitong couldn't stand Zhang Xuanting's tireless praise, and the expression on his face changed from moody to springy, and gradually joined everyone's conversation.

An hour later, the Donglin funeral home arrived, the driver handed a special certificate to the doorman, and the doorman politely opened the door to let him go, obviously the certificate has a special role, Zhang Su doesn't know if he will get a similar privileged certificate after joining Qicheng, and then he can freely enter and exit some special places.

"You go to the mourning hall, there are more souls there, you can complete the independent task faster, just come to me to report when you are done, by the way, you can call me Sister Ran."

The one who spoke was the tutor sitting in the front seat, except for the task introduction before the departure, this person was silent all the way, and he only spoke when he entered the funeral home, Zhang Su had never seen this person's cheeks, but the voice was gentle and beautiful.
