Volume 1: Induction Section 19: Heavenly Soul Pavilion

On the first day, Kaiyuan, the second day was distracted, and on the third day, Zhang Su took three days to let himself enter the soul master realm in the training hall according to Pu Zitong's meaning of "hiding clumsy", in order not to let others suspect, especially Fan Zengming, he knew that the two were in the same room last night, if he became a soul master too early, Fan Zengming would inevitably suspect the relationship between him and Pu Zitong, in order not to make him suspicious, Zhang Su tried his best to slow down a certain pace of practice, so that his progress became more reasonable.

The only three of them who became soul masters earlier than Zhang Su were Pu Zitong, Cao Xuanqing and Ye Liao, and the three of them had already entered the soul master realm because they were originally from the soul master family, so it only took one day to get their own independent soul building room, although Zhang Su used three days, he was already one of the fastest among the other practitioners, and there were only three people who entered the soul master realm in just three days like Zhang Su, one was named Tao Haolong, who was about the same age as Zhang Su, and was from the Guangcheng branch, and the other was called Fu Tianmei, is a white-skinned and beautiful woman in her early twenties, from the Jicheng branch, and there is also a surname with Zhang Su, called Zhang Sheng, who was brought by Liu Dazhong of the Yucheng branch, is a middle-aged man in his forties, and has a relationship with Zhang Su.

Because of the deal with Pu Zitong, Zhang Su needs to be vigilant at any time, so he deliberately paid attention to these three people, if it is a recruit from the Pu family's martial arts competition, then it is possible to become his opponent in the future, Zhang Su does not dare to slack off, but after Zhang Su has inspected it many times, he thinks that these three people have no special relationship with Pu Zitong, it is said that the ancestors of the person named Tao Haolong have a soul master who relies on tomb robbery as a livelihood, although it is not from a certain soul master family, but there is also some inheritance foundation, and he is born with an understanding of soul masters. It only took three days to complete the path to becoming a soul master.

There is also a woman named Fu Tianmei, who is beautiful and handsome, but there is still a big difference between Pu Zitong's clever atmosphere and Lin Yan's clear and hearty, her beauty is a bit of a seductive evil taste, from the first day of training, many men have been attracted by her evil charm, looking for various opportunities to talk to her, and even men have handed her love letters, but for Zhang Su, he is not interested in this kind of demon woman, whether it is out of self-confidence or rationality, In short, Zhang Su felt an uncomfortable feeling from this woman, and even his eyes unconsciously avoided that direction.

Zhang Sheng is more special, he looks older, he should be in his early forties, although there are not a few people who are a little older, but most of the newcomers in the hall who participate in the training are young people, and most of the older ones are team leaders, so a person with vicissitudes on his face standing in a bunch of energetic young people, somewhat alternative taste, in terms of the company's recruitment conditions, this person should be in his forties before he was found to have the ability to forge souls and gather dust, but on the other hand, A person in his forties still needs to run around for a living, which is really a bit painful and desolate, which is also the emotion that Zhang Su interprets from the expression on this person's face, but this person can enter the soul master realm in only three days, which makes Zhang Su a little unexpected.

In three days, more than forty newcomers, counting Zhang Su, only four of them succeeded in becoming soul masters, and among the other newcomers, some of them have not even done it yet, so it seems that the success rate of ordinary people becoming soul masters is indeed not high, if there is no help from Pu Zitong, he may also be one of them, Zhang Su understands why Hu Xi and Lu Sen both said that even if they can forge the soul and gather dust, it is difficult to become a soul master, and the talent of the soul does not represent how high a person's innate intelligence level and understanding ability is, It can only mean that you have obtained the key to a closed door of the Soul Master Realm, whether you can insert the key into the keyhole seamlessly, and whether you can have the strength to twist the key, these are all two words.

Before the end of the third day of training, Zhang Su re-interpreted the basic process of the soul master according to the established procedures, and obtained the approval of the soul master of the auditors and the separate right to use the soul building room, which was used for the practice of soul power and soul skills in the future, and the soul building room was originally just an ordinary guest room, but after the soul hunting company took over the Heavenly Soul Castle, some rooms on the first floor of the Heavenly Soul Castle were transformed into rooms similar to Horcruxes, increasing the concentration of soul dust in the room, which is helpful for the soul master's cultivation of soul power, but the room is officially arranged until the next morning.

"That's right, Zhang Su, I really didn't misunderstand you, you are really a genius, I haven't taught you much experience, you yourself only took three days to become a soul master, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are talented." Fan Zengming praised Zhang Su, not to mention that Zhang Su is just a newcomer who has become a monk halfway, even those children in the soul master family are a few people who can successfully become a soul master in three days, so Fan Zengming's evaluation is not an exaggeration.

"False praise, don't you see Miss Pu and they passed in one day?" Zhang Su deliberately compared Pu Zitong to hide his speed.

"It's not that you don't know, Miss Pu has been a soul master for a long time, of course it's different, if it weren't for the requirement that newcomers must ensure a day's training time, they wouldn't use this training hall at all."

Fan Zeng understood Zhang Su's glance, and thought that Zhang Su was still saying such things when he already knew that Pu Zitong was a soul master, thinking that Zhang Su was deliberately showing off.

"In addition to me, aren't there three other people who have also become soul masters?" Zhang Su asked deliberately, of course he didn't want to show off, he just wanted to cover up the fact that Pu Zitong was secretly teaching himself.

"I didn't expect other branches to be able to recruit so many scattered half-souls from the people, it seems that they have all put in a lot of effort." Fan Zengming explained.

"Half-souls?" Zhang asked puzzled.

"The soul master refers to the person who has experienced the three stages of Kaiyuan, distraction and yang god, and the half-soul refers to the ordinary person who has realized or strayed into a certain stage, because the three basic stages of the soul master have not been established, this kind of person is not a real soul master, some people have an out-of-body soul but cannot return to the body, and some people have not gone out of the body but can see yin and yang, this kind of person can only be called a half-soul, and the probability of the existence of a half-soul person is very small, for example, someone mistakenly makes his soul out of the body, and there happens to be a soul master and a horcrux to assist his soul to return to the body, so that the person can survive and not die and the soul will not die, And more often than not, the soul of this kind of person is free and cannot be recovered, then the person's body will become unconscious, vegetative or dead, so the half-soul who can survive has some element of luck, since it is a gamble on luck, the probability of existence is naturally not high. Fan Zengming explained.

"It's the first time I've heard of it." Zhang Su nodded, understanding what the half-soul meant.

"Of the three people who became soul masters at the same time as you, two of them were half-souls and one was a soul-merger, and they had all glimpsed the door of the soul realm in the past, so you now understand how talented you are, I wonder if you are also a half-soul like them." Fan Zengming looked at Zhang Su with a pretended thought, but there was astigmatism in his eyes.

"Of course not, Brother Lu Sen, they can testify to me, if it is the first time I get a glimpse of the door, it is Brother Fan, you let me watch Miss Pu and Cao Xuanqing fight, and I haven't experienced anything like this since then." Zhang Su shook his head and explained.

"By the way, Brother Fan, what do you mean by Soul Merger?" Zhang Su suddenly remembered a word Fan Zengming said, and then asked.

"The Soul Merger is easier to explain, it is to borrow the corpse to return the soul." Fan Zengming said.

"Resurrection of a corpse? Are you saying that someone has a body that is not their own soul, but a reborn soul? Zhang asked again in surprise.

"That's not it, there are dead souls who want to seize the body of a living person, and as a result, when they invade the body of others, the spiritual consciousness is imprisoned and dispersed by the body of the living person, and the spiritual consciousness, the soul and the living person are fused together, and the soul is of course stronger after the fusion, but the spiritual consciousness is not, it is mainly based on the soul of the living person, supplemented by the spiritual fragment of the dead soul, and after mutual influence, the thought, consciousness and personality have some subtle changes, and the person has a fusion soul." Fan Zengming went on to explain.

"Is this still a normal person?" Zhang Su felt that this thing was a bit scary.

"If the main spiritual consciousness has not changed, it will not have much impact, but this kind of person will have the feeling of soul leaving the body and part of the memory of the soul consciousness of the deceased, similar to some gods can enter the soul realm, soul counseling, although it can not predict divination, but it can easily understand a person's surroundings and simple past, of course, its personal character and behavioral habits will also be adjusted with the penetration of the soul consciousness of the deceased, although it will not make noisy behavior, but it will also change a person's original appearance, but the main soul still dominates the soul and body, Therefore, the soul merger will not be classified as an outlier by the soul master. Fan Zengming affirmed.

"Who is the Soul Merger among the three?" Zhang asked puzzled.

"Have you noticed that woman named Fu Tianmei?" Fan Zengming asked.

"What's wrong?" Zhang asked puzzled.

"It's fine, just telling you he's a man." Fan Zengming squinted his eyes and said.

Zhang Su couldn't hide his surprised expression, he just thought that the person named Fu Tianmei was a bewitching woman, thinking that his sense of incongruity with him was due to his demonic nature, but what he didn't expect was that Fan Zengming actually said that he was a man, this person Zhang Su's entire three views were almost shattered, a person who looked more female than a woman was actually a women's clothing boss, Zhang Su recalled the men who handed love letters to Fu Tianmei, and thought to himself, if those people knew that they were pursuing a man, It is estimated that a mouthful of old blood sprayed all over the training hall.

"Man!"

Zhang Su held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but shout out, in exchange for the result of shooting strange eyes from all directions, everyone looked at Zhang Su for unknown reasons, thinking that Zhang Su was crazy.

"Be quiet, don't be heard, you just know about it, the team leaders of other branches didn't tell the truth to their newcomers, probably because they were afraid that they would be insane, so don't cause trouble." Fan Zengming reminded Zhang Su.

"I understand, now that I have become a soul master, is my deal with the company concluded?" Zhang Su asked.

Zhang Su knows that now it is a group of people who are staring at the Pu family's piece of meat, if he wants to prevent these tigers from biting himself before eating meat, he has to seize the time to improve his strength, many competitors from the soul master family have already become soul masters, of course the strength is strong, although he does not need to confront these people head-on, but he also has to reserve some strength, ready to deal with the future at any time, in addition to the secret technique of summoning the soul promised by Pu Zitong, Zhang Su also needs more means of self-protection, the more the better.

"Of course forget it, that's what I was trying to tell you, I contacted the higher-ups, and as soon as I reported your situation, they first agreed to your requirements for practicing martial arts and soul skills, as long as you become a soul master, you can fulfill this condition first." Fan Zengming replied.

"Refreshing!" Zhang Su exclaimed.

"The reason for the refreshment is that your offer is quite reasonable, and if you really open your mouth, the company is not afraid to turn you back into an ordinary person." Fan Zengming's words had some warning in them.

"yes, I see." Zhang Su nodded.

"Are you trying to fulfill the conditions now?" Fan Zengming asked.

"Then let's go to the Heavenly Soul Pavilion first, I remember at the entrance of the other corridor." Zhang Su decided to improve his soul power and cultivation techniques first, starting with improving his hard power.

"Yes, the exercises and soul skills are all in the Heavenly Soul Pavilion in Room 102, I can take you over now, let me explain first, in the Soul Master Realm, the exercises are the method of cultivating soul power faster, and it is divided into four levels: low, medium, high, and peerless, but it does not mean that the higher the level, the better, the choice and cultivation are all based on personal perception, the choice of exercises should be cautious, the soul skills are different, divided into one to twelve levels, the first order is the lowest, and the twelfth level is the highest, but the Heavenly Soul Pavilion of the Heavenly Soul Castle is facing the training of newcomers, so the highest stored soul skills are also up to the ninth order, Of course, high-level soul skills have high requirements for soul power, even if you want to cultivate the highest level soul skills, you can't cultivate them if your soul power can't reach them, or you can't cultivate them to perfection, the Heavenly Soul Pavilion is open to you at any time, and it's up to you how to choose. Fan Zengming prompted.

"Understood." Zhang Su nodded and replied routinely.

Fan Zengming didn't know whether Zhang Su really understood or fakely understood, he said this to let Zhang Su not position too high at the beginning, starting from the basics, of course, there are also selfish intentions, that is, to avoid the loss of some high-level soul skills of the company, but judging from Zhang Su's attitude, Zhang Su doesn't seem to intend to listen, since Zhang Su is unwilling, Fan Zengming can't say anything.

Fan Zengming and Zhang Su left the training hall, Fan Zengming walked in front, Zhang Su followed behind, the two walked towards the Heavenly Soul Pavilion with soul skills and exercises, and came to the door after a while, Fan Zengming knocked on the door, and there was a questioning voice from inside the door, Fan Zengming reported his name, and then released the soul, letting the soul float outside the Heavenly Soul Pavilion, and then pasted the soul hand to the door of the Heavenly Soul Pavilion, and the cyan light on the soul hand continued to flow towards the door of the Heavenly Soul Pavilion.

This is the first time Zhang Su has seen Fan Zengming's soul, and he feels that his soul is extremely bright, I don't know how many times brighter than Pu Zitong's soul, Zhang Su used his soul to perceive Fan Zengming's soul, and inexplicably felt a coercion, which made Zhang Su's soul tremble.

"Don't probe my soul power at will, you can't afford it!" Fan Zengming's soul turned his head to warn Zhang Su.

After hearing this, Zhang Su quickly collected his soul into his body, which relieved the suppression of his soul.

"It turned out to be King Fan Soul, come in." An ethereal voice came from inside the door, as if Fan Zengming's identity was confirmed, and the door slowly opened.

Fan Zengming took Zhang Su into the Heavenly Soul Pavilion, Zhang Su looked left and right, and didn't see that there were other people in the Heavenly Soul Pavilion, just when Zhang Su wanted to look back, the door of the Heavenly Soul Pavilion behind him actually closed automatically.

"Is this door voice-activated?" Zhang asked Fan Zengming puzzled.

"You're voice-activated! Why can't the young man speak! ”

At the same time as Zhang Su's questioning, a soul floated out of the gate and came to Fan Zengming and Zhang Su, looking at Zhang Su with angry eyes, and making movements with his beard in his hands, but the beard was as empty and empty in Zhang Su's eyes as other parts of the soul, like an old man deliberately posing like relying on the old and selling the old, which was really funny.

"Old Men, this is a newcomer and ignorant, please forgive me." Fan Zengming gave a look at the soul in front of him, and then explained.

Zhang Su was also taken aback by the soul that suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, knowing that he had made a mistake just now, he hurriedly learned from Fan Zengming and expressed his sincere apology.

"Okay, I know it's a newcomer, let's make a rule with him first, it's not to blame, but to be honest, this newcomer's concentration is not bad, the newcomer who came to me was either scared and screamed when he saw me, or his body trembled uncontrollably, it's rare for him to be so calm, it seems that you Qicheng has picked up the treasure." The soul called the old man looked at Zhang Su around, then nodded, and praised in his mouth.

Zhang Su saw that this soul old man praised himself as soon as he came up, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only make a gesture again to express his gratitude.

"Door Lao, this person has a special relationship with the company, and the company has given him a privilege, and he is allowed to enter and exit this Heavenly Soul Pavilion at any time, and I hope you will make it convenient." Fan Zengming told the company and Zhang Su about the transaction in the simplest words.

"I already know, Lao Ding sent a spirit letter, the content has been roughly mentioned, now I have to do my best to train this little guy to the point where he is on par with the children of those soul master families, and let go of the Heavenly Soul Pavilion's restrictions on the entry and exit of this newcomer called Zhang Su, I have already remembered his soul, just knock on the door next time I come." The old man nodded, as if he knew something about the transaction between Zhang Su and the company.

"Then it's troublesome, I'll retreat." After Fan Zengming finished speaking, he was ready to turn around and leave.

"Don't worry, Fan boy, Lao Ding said, when you send him in, you can also pick a soul skill as a reward for you in advance." The door is old.

"Am I got my share too?" When Fan Zengming heard that he could choose soul skills, his expression showed a look of joy.

Zhang Su was a little unclear So, as soon as he became a soul master, he could freely practice all the soul skills in the Heavenly Soul Pavilion, naturally he couldn't feel Fan Zengming's feeling of being like a treasure, seeing Fan Zengming's happy look, for a moment, Zhang Su felt that Fan Zengming was a person who had never seen the world, and if he thought about it carefully, maybe this was the benefit of trading with the soul hunting company.

"Lao Ding ordered, you can also choose one." The doorman nodded.

Fan Zengming stopped, walked into the gloomy room, came to a shelf, picked up an ancient note rolled into a cylinder, and then strode away from the Heavenly Soul Pavilion, as if someone who had already taken a fancy to a certain product finally bought the feeling, but when Fan Zengming passed by Zhang Su in front of the door of the Heavenly Soul Pavilion, Zhang Su felt that there was something in his leg pocket that suddenly became cold, but this feeling was fleeting, so it didn't attract Zhang Su's attention too much.

"Sure enough, it's a ninth-order soul skill crossbow, Fan Boy is really obsessed with this."

Seeing that Fan Zengming left the Heavenly Soul Pavilion without looking back, the old man seemed to have guessed Fan Zengming's choice a long time ago, and sighed.
