"You just said what happened to the ghast on that side quest?"

Zhang Su looked at Pu Zitong with an angry look on his face and asked in surprise.

"Let it run! I almost caught it, but who knew that the ghast actually cut off the lower half of its body like a gecko, and in the blink of an eye it ran away in the forest behind it. Pu Zitong complained unwillingly.

"That's a high-level ghast, the soul power level is between the intermediate great soul master and the senior great soul master, you dare to run to catch it alone? Grandma, are you too tigery? Zhang Su looked at Pu Zitong with wide eyes and asked in surprise.

"I'm already a junior soul king now, I'm just dealing with a high-level ghast, what are you afraid of?" Pu Zitong responded disdainfully.

"Grandma, I'm not afraid that you will have an accident, ghasts are special, even if you are a junior soul king, there may be danger if you are not very clear about the ghast information, if you wait for me to finish and help you." Zhang Su complained.

"You? At most, a junior great soul master? You're going to replenish the soul power of that ghast, so stay honest. Pu Zitong replied with a look of disdain.

Zhang Su looked at Pu Zitong with an innocent face, but he didn't want to reveal his true soul power, so he could only swallow all kinds of rebuttal words back into his stomach with grievances.

"Miss Pu, we can also help, Jing Gang and I are both high-level soul masters, and if we round up that evil soul, we should have a good chance of winning." Zhang Xuanting suggested on the side.

"If this is a game, you three scum used to give experience to others, forget it, since they have all run away, it can only be regarded as a failure of the additional mission, let's go back to the Heavenly Soul Castle as soon as possible." Pu Zitong looked around the three of them arrogantly, sighed, shook his head and said.

"Uh......"

The three people who were despised by Pu Zitong glanced at each other, crying and mourning, no one could speak, and they didn't know what to say, especially Zhang Xuanting and Jing Gang, although they were a little aggrieved by Pu Zitong, but after thinking for a while, they actually felt that Pu Zitong seemed to be very reasonable, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Your group has a total of eight points, all of them have passed, and I have sent the appraisal results to Executive Officer Zheng, your group is relatively early, you can go to take a shower after you go back, and gather in the conference hall on time at six o'clock in the evening, and the results of the soul hunting battle will be announced at that time, and there will be big shots coming, I hope you don't be late." On the way back to Heavenly Soul Castle, Mentor Sister Ran suggested.

"Okay, that Sister Ran, who do you say will come?" Zhang Xuanting asked excitedly when he heard that there was a big man.

"I don't know very well, what I know so far is that Mr. Nan Guo has arrived, and then the elders and newcomers of the nine major families, including the Pu family, the Cao family, the Ye family, the Wu family, the Chen family, the Ji family, the Xia family, the Gongyi family, and the Guyue family, have also arrived, and there are the 'Yin and Yang Thief' Cheng Ruosheng seniors, the 'Spirit Snake Immortal' Geng Wu seniors, and the 'Tianrui Messenger' Mr. Zheng Pu as the referees of the rookie battle, you should be able to see these people when you go back." Sister Ran introduced.

"Hey, isn't the Nanguo family the Nine Great Families?" Zhang asked puzzled.

"It used to be, after the Battle of Tiancauld, the Nine Great Families experienced a major reshuffle, and the Nan Guo family withdrew from the ranks of the Nine Great Families since then, and it was also after that that Mr. Nan Guo founded this soul hunting company to recruit soul masters from all over the world." Sister Ran replied.

"The Battle of the Heavenly Cauldron?" Zhang Su hadn't heard of this name, so he couldn't help asking.

"Back then, there was a ghost king named Tiancao who was born to endanger the world, the original nine families gathered the elites of all races to go to crusade, the war lasted for three days and three nights, and finally the nine families worked together to cut down the ghost king of Tiancaula, but the price paid was also huge, the twenty-seven soul master elites sent by the nine families suffered heavy casualties, and some families were eventually squeezed out of the ranks of the nine families because of the decline of the top combat power in the clan, and there were also several members of the original nine families who were unwilling to take on the responsibility of soul hunting pioneers, So he voluntarily withdrew from the ranks of the nine major families, and only the four families of Pu, Ye, Cao, and Gongyi in the new nine families were from the original nine families, and the remaining five families were all from behind. Sister Ran introduced.

Listening to Sister Ran's introduction, Zhang Su looked at Pu Zitong who was sitting beside him, and saw Pu Zitong with his head lowered, as if he was thinking about something.

In addition to these, Sister Ran doesn't know anything else about the Nine Great Families and the Battle of the Heavenly Cauldron, these are just what Sister Ran has heard from others after entering the Soul Master Realm for so many years, and the real scene back then is estimated to be known only to those who participated in the Battle of the Heavenly Cauldron.

After that, Zhang Xuanting and Jing Gang asked some things about the temporary referee of the three newcomer battles, it is said that it is because this newcomer battle is a bit special, and there has never been a time like this time, the nine major families have sent their own newcomers to participate in the war, for the sake of fairness, and in order not to be criticized, the company's referee work is no longer suitable for the company's own family members, so Mr. Nan Guo invited three of today's more famous soul masters to come to help and temporarily serve as a referee.

"Yin and Yang Thief" Cheng Ruosheng, an old man in his sixties, will get a trick of Yin and Yang, once it is used, it can change the battlefield environment, Yin Duel can create a great dark sky, within a certain range of their own soul to enhance the effect of weakening the enemy's body; Yang Duel can create the Great Sun Sun, strengthen one's own body within a certain range, and can weaken the enemy's soul power, strengthen oneself to defeat the enemy, and the soul body is intertwined and unpredictable.

"Spirit Snake Immortal" Geng Wu, also an old man in his sixties, is said to have obtained a soul skill called the Ancient Blue Scale Python in the early years, which can use soul power to condense a towering giant python, coil the body, can attack and defend, and can also spray soul power poisonous mist, once an ordinary soul master is infected with poisonous mist, the soul power will be instantly paralyzed and unable to be used, and the soul can only be captured and slaughtered.

"Tianrui Messenger" Zheng Pu, the first two old men are younger, only in their forties, the reason why he is called "Tianrui Messenger" is because he has helped many soul masters to solve some powerful ghosts, and the ghosts everywhere they go are frightened and scattered, so they are known as the people who descend from the sky, it is said that the famous is a practice called the Four Witches, and the soul power cultivated has the unique attribute of interfering with other people's spiritual consciousness, usually collected in the body, once released, even if you don't use soul skills, you can sting other people's spiritual consciousness with soul power alone, which is quite weird.

After listening to the introduction of the three soul master referees, Zhang Su knew that there were so many strange people in the soul master realm, and his understanding of the soul master world was only the tip of the iceberg, and the world of soul masters might not be as simple as he imagined.

The car soon returned to the Heavenly Soul Castle, the time was just noon, Zhang Su and the others handed in their dark stone cup according to Sister Ran's prompts, and then returned to their room to take a bath and rest, Zhang Su's body was quite clean, after all, it was not difficult for him to deal with a low-level ghast, and the other three people in the same group were not so easy, Zhang Xuanting and Jing Gang were not strong in soul power, and they were evenly matched against low-level ghasts, of course, they wasted some strength, Pu Zitong was because he was alone to challenge the high-level ghasts, As a result, the ghast didn't catch it and made a mess, so he got out of the car and quickly ran back to the room to wash up again.

Soul hunting is the first time Zhang Su has hunted the soul, and after returning to the room, Zhang Su has been reminiscing about the feeling of the battle, and by the way, he has cultivated the soul skill that was rubbed down from the ghast, this soul skill cultivation is not very difficult, Zhang Su quickly explored the mystery of it, the soul consumes not much soul power, and it is flexible and practical, and it can create the illusion of some kind of high-level soul strengthening soul skill to the other party if it is used well.

Time continued to pass with Zhang Su's cultivation, and it was soon about to be six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Su withdrew from his cultivation, left his room, and walked towards the former training hall.

"Newcomers, the Soul Hunt Awards Event and the pre-game mobilization meeting for the Newcomer Battle will be held on time at 6 p.m., please participate in the Soul Hunt and their team leaders on time, repeat the ......"

Just when Zhang Su just walked to the door of the training hall, the sound of the radio released from nowhere resounded throughout the Heavenly Soul Castle, repeated over and over again, Zhang Su glanced at his mobile phone, there were still ten minutes before the start of the event, and he came to the training hall in advance.

Although Zhang Su had already arrived early, but at this time, the training hall was already full of people, I thought that the meeting with VIPs would be arranged in advance with various seating arrangements, in fact, Mr. Nan Guo did not buy these things in this empty training hall, everyone could only stand, even the guests were no exception, which obviously made some fresh faces full of dissatisfaction, but Mr. Nan Guo near the podium seemed to turn a deaf ear, and was giving instructions to Zheng Tianqin.

Zhang Su saw a lot of unfamiliar faces, obviously not a group of newcomers who came to train with him, it should be from the Nine Great Soul Master Families and the three referees, Zhang Su couldn't match the faces and names of these people, and he didn't intend to provoke them.

Zhang Su leaned on the back wall and fell his eyes on Mr. Nan Guo, no matter how powerful those who came, the strongest in the soul master is undoubtedly Mr. Nan Guo, Zhang Su is now a soul master, and he has also opened his yin and yang eyes, so he wants to use these yin and yang eyes to peek at whether Mr. Nan Guo who came here is the deity.

Just when Zhang Su's eyes turned to Mr. Nan Guo, Mr. Nan Guo turned his face sideways at the same time, and met Zhang Su's gaze with his own gaze, with the sharpness of an eagle falcon in his eyes, as if he could see through Zhang Su's soul, just by looking at each other's eyes, Zhang Su felt that his soul seemed to have suffered a stinging pain like ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, but Zhang Su did not flinch, endured the sting, and still looked directly at Mr. Nan Guo, and Mr. Nan Guo's eyes met.

After a while, Mr. Nan Guo finally put away his sharp gaze, narrowed his wrinkled eyes, looked at Zhang Su with a smile, nodded slightly, and turned to Zheng Tianqin again, continuing to arrange the relevant matters of the rookie war.

Seeing that Mr. Nan Guo's head turned back, Zhang Su quickly lowered his head and kept kneading his sore eyes, and a few small teardrops slipped out of the corners of Zhang Su's eyes, and before the tears could fall to the ground, they dried up on his face, leaving wet and sticky tears.

"It's early."

Just when Zhang Su lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, Pu Zitong also came to the training hall, and when she entered through the back door, she saw Zhang Su leaning against the back wall at a glance, and rushed up to say hello, deliberately showing that she was very close to Zhang Su.

"Miss Pu." Zhang Su opened his sore eyes and said.

"Call me Zitong!" Pu Zitong scolded lightly.

"Oh, okay, Zitong, you're here." Zhang Su understood what Pu Zitong meant, and quickly changed the title of Pu Zitong.

"Brother I don't think so, let's go to dinner together after the meeting, okay?" Pu Zitong raised his voice, grabbed one of Zhang Su's arms and kept shaking, and asked coquettishly.

"Well...... you haven't eaten yet, okay then." Zhang Su scratched his head with a wry smile and stammered in response.

Zhang Su's eyes looked around, and he found that several unfamiliar faces had focused their eyes on himself and Pu Zitong, obviously, these people came for the martial arts competition, and it can also be said that they were competing for Pu Zitong, and now Pu Zitong pretended to be intimate and coquettish to himself, of course he became the focus of attention,

"Oops, you two are sour, don't show affection in public."

Fan Zengming also came in, and when he saw Zhang Su and Pu Zitong making an intimate relationship, he smiled and teased.

Originally, Pu Zitong's coquettishness had already made many people look at Zhang Su, but now this Fan Zengming came in again to add fuel and vinegar, Zhang Su instantly felt that at least a dozen powerful soul power broke out in the hall, if it wasn't for the environment, Zhang Su would have been torn apart by these jealous people.

"Miss, it turns out that you are really here, the patriarch asked me to persuade you to go back."

In the center of the training hall, the old man's voice sounded, and a fat old man with a bald round head walked slowly in the direction where Zhang Su and Pu Zitong were, with light steps under his feet, and came to Pu Zitong in a few steps, and said to Pu Zitong.

"It turned out to be the Great Elder, I said that I would not go back, I want to travel in the wilderness, set up my own family, and I will no longer belong to the Pu family in the future." Pu Zitong first nodded respectfully at the fat old man, and then responded decisively.

"What the eldest lady said is angry, even if the eldest lady has a temper with the head of the family, but the rise and fall of the Pu family can't be ignored, even if you get married, you are also the head of the family in the eyes of the Pu family, and the Pu family will be the only one in the future." The fat old man said.

"This is the great elder of the Pu family, the great name of the predecessor of the opera is like thunder." Just when the fat old man persuaded Pu Zitong, Fan Zengming's eyes rolled and he stepped forward to interject.

"You are?" The fat elder named Pu Mu looked at Fan Zengming and asked, but his expression was slightly unhappy.

"Under Fan Zengming, Miss Pu's leader." Fan Zengming also seemed to notice Pu Mu's expression, so he had to answer with a smile.

"It turned out to be the Fan Soul King of Qi City's intelligence team, is there anything wrong?" Pu Mu still looked at Fan Zengming unhappily.

"It's not easy to see you honestly, so I'm here to say hello and visit." Fan Zengming originally wanted to mention Pu Zitong's martial arts competition to recruit relatives, but under Pu Mu's coercion, the words changed to the point of their mouth.

"Okay, let's go after the visit, I still have family affairs to deal with here." Pu Mu didn't give Fan Zengming a good look, and rushed to the humanity directly.

Fan Zengming still wanted to speak, but Pu Zitong threw a look at Fan Zengming, signaling him not to say more, so as not to suffer trouble.

Fan Zengming also understood what Pu Zitong meant, and dodged it stupidly.

"What about you, boy? Can you afford our Pu family? Hurry up and disappear from my eyes, I don't want to get angry. Seeing that Fan Zengming had left, Pu Mu looked at Zhang Su, who was standing closest to Pu Zitong, and scolded him domineeringly.

"Senior, what is Gao Pan?" Zhang Su narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

"A kid with no strength and no background still wants to marry our eldest lady of the Pu family, isn't this Gao Pan?" Pu Mu asked.

"It's love, since the two are happy, where is there a high climb? In the era of the words of the parents' order matchmaker, the marriage of the wrong household will be said to be high and low, true love is equal, it is to put aside the difference between high and low, with love as the foundation, how to say that it is humble? Zhang Su asked.

"Love? There is no love in the world, it's just a deal, it's just a rhetoric that you, a dirty boy, want to join my Pu family. Pu Mu snorted coldly.

"How many bills did you spend to buy Mrs. Zun? Or did Madame Zun buy you for a few taels of gold? Zhang Su asked with a sneer.

"How dare you be disrespectful to me?" Pu Mu's powerful soul power instantly emanated, and he shouted angrily at Zhang Su in his mouth.

"Those who respect others respect themselves, you say that love is a business, I just follow your words, why is it disrespectful?" Zhang Su was not timid at all in front of Pu Mu's powerful soul power.

Pu Mu was speechless, looked at the crowd gathered around him, even if he still wanted to get angry, but he knew that he was not reasonable, so he slowly unloaded his momentum and withdrew his soul power into his body.

Zhang Su didn't know the bottom of his heart, but on this occasion, he bet that Pu Mu would not dare to do something to a junior, not to mention that the company's boss Mr. Nan Guo was also there, even if Pu Mu did it, Mr. Nan Guo should not sit idly by and ignore his family, because of this judgment, Zhang Su dared to argue with him without fear.

"Everyone be quiet, the personnel are all here, the meeting starts now, I am Zheng Tianqin, Director Tang, who was originally in charge of this newcomer training, can't come because of something, and I will be responsible for the rest of the matter." Zheng Tianqin announced.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Tianqin introduced the guests attending the meeting, and then took the stage in turn to show his face to speak, Mr. Nan Guo as the chairman of the company is naturally familiar to everyone, the information of the three referees and guests is similar to that introduced by Sister Ran, and Zhang Su also recognized the appearance of the three one by one.

Each of the nine soul master families sent an elder and a newcomer to participate, and they also came to the stage to express their willingness to learn from each other, but Zhang Su didn't listen carefully to what the specific names of these people were, and they probably knew who the opponent they might meet was and what level they were.

After that, Zheng Tianqin announced the results of the soul hunting battle, only one of the six groups of twenty-four people did not complete the task and was eliminated, and the rest of the people captured the souls in accordance with the specified requirements, which can be recognized as official entry, one group and four groups completed the additional tasks and obtained ten points, because a group of teams came back earlier, so a group of Cao Xuanqing, Wang Ling, Bei Xiaoxi, and Wan Lei each obtained a soul skill.

Later, Zheng Tianqin explained the matter of the newcomer battle: "The newcomer battle is participated by twenty-three newcomers within the company and nine newcomers from the soul family, a total of thirty-two people, which will be held by lottery and implement the ...... of the ring competition."

Zheng Tianqin had already said it at the public review meeting a month ago, and the content was similar, and most of the words were to warn the contestants to "friendship first, competition second".

When everyone finished speaking, Zheng Tianqin organized all the newcomers to participate in the lottery, a total of thirty-two numbers corresponding to thirty-two newcomers, using the mechanism of the knockout round, one round of sixteen games, two rounds of eight games, three rounds of four games, two semi-finals, one final, and finally the top four, the first place received the soul skills and horcrux rewards provided by the soul hunting company, the second prize was one of the soul skills and horcruxes, and the third prize was a cash reward of 2,000 yuan, in general, the reward was quite attractive.

"Zhang Su, what are you?" After drawing lots, Pu Zitong came to ask questions.

"Thirteen."

"Oh, I'll take a look, your opponent in the first round is ...... on the fourteenth, Ye Liao!"
