“Young Master, you’re back!”

  After the meeting among the players was over, Ji Ye immediately returned to his room.

  “Yes. Xiaoqian, I need to train in seclusion for a moment. Inform the others and don’t let them disturb me!”

  Ji Ye spoke to Nie Xiaoqian, who had just cleaned up his room.

  “Alright!”

  “Okay, I can finally perform another Fusion.”

  After Nie Xiaoqian closed the door, Ji Ye took out an item from his clothes with hope in his eyes.

  It had been days since he last fused the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique. The Fusion talent had already cooled down again.

  The item that he was preparing to fuse, however, was rather special. He didn’t seem to be holding anything in his head.

  It was because this item was almost fully transparent. It was exactly the “Soul Prisoner’s Mask”, the item that contained the Transcendent power left by the Eagle Men’s spy!

  “A Transcendent item…… I hope I can be surprised by this Fusion.”

  Ji Ye looked forward to the result of the Fusion.

  After all, the Soul Alpha Wolf, which he obtained by fusing the Totem Wolf Skin, played a critical role in the battle a few days earlier.

  Furthermore, after swallowing the power of souls in the mast, it had reached Extraordinary Rank-6 without a blood sacrifice. That was a very high rank in Twin Dragon Mount fort!

  Well, he only hoped that the Soul Prisoner’s Mask hadn’t lost much of its quality after being devoured by the Soul Alpha Wolf.

  “Fusion!”

  Activating the Fusion talent, Ji Ye naturally chose himself as the target with which the transparent mask was fused.

  Hum!

  Unsurprisingly, a gleam of silver light was mixed in the glow that was rising from the transparent mask. The silver was even more obvious than that on the Totem Wolf Skin earlier.

  More than an hour later, the light disappeared from Ji Ye, but he was still holding the completely transparent mask!

  Was the fusion a failure?

  \r \r \r

  Of course not.

  Just like what happened to the Totem Wolf Skin, part of the power in the Soul Prisoner’s Mask had been melted into his body, whereas the equipment itself was still kept in the outside world.

  “This is how it works! It’s really good stuff!”

  Ji Ye opened his eyes in delight.

  Unlike what happened with the Totem Wolf Skin, he even obtained the remaining information of the mask through the fusion and learned of its origin.

  [Soul Prisoner’s Mask]

  [Level: Special]

  [Rarity: Excellent (Rare)]

  [Description: This is a masterpiece created by a Transcendent expert who liked toying with souls. The creatures whose faces are covered by this mask will be imprisoned and possessed by him. He liked playing that game very much until he accidentally blew it the last time he played!]

  As its name suggested, this was a “Soul Prisoner’s Mask”.

  However, the Soul Prisoner didn’t refer to the maker of this mask, but the victims who were covered by the mask!

  This piece of equipment was very powerful because it contained more Transcendent power than the Totem Wolf Skin did, and it had more than one ability.

  Firstly, as its name suggested, this mask could “imprison” any souls, and after imprisoning a soul, this mask could even take the imprisoned soul’s appearance and replace them.

  Secondly, as “prisoners”, the souls would be tortured after they were caged, and the torture would result in the dispersion of their soul power.

  As the Soulblood Spirit Aggregation Art stated, the soul actually contained some memory pieces.

  Therefore, the Transcendent maker of the mask could obtain the victim’s memories to better impersonate him so that nobody would realize his real identity!

  Thirdly, even if the victim had been exposed, it wouldn’t be a big problem.

  That was because the real way to use the Soul Mask was not to melt one’s own soul into it in order to control it. It could be remotely controlled by the mark that Ji Ye had taken into his body!

  Whoosh!

  A symbol appeared in the soul inside Ji Ye’s body.

  In the next moment, the transparent mask flew out of his hand and floated in midair. It wasn’t very fast, but it was definitely much faster than when the Commander Eagle Man controlled it.

  More importantly, this cage of souls could turn the power of the imprisoned souls into energy and perform soul attacks. It could even acquire explosive power by destroying the imprisoned souls in order to escape!

  Earlier, the Commander Eagle Man had only used the mask’s simplest function of imprisoning. Also, since he could not remotely control the mask, he had to melt his own soul into the mask in a special way before he attached himself to Wu Xiong and snuck into the territory of human beings.

  As a result, he had left this Transcendent item as well as his own life behind to human beings.

  However, technically speaking, Ji Ye hadn’t fully controlled the Soul Prisoner’s Mask yet.

  Because the Fusion talent was itself an Extraordinary talent, he could only analyze the parts that were below the level Extraordinary when he fused the items that had special features.

  The things such as the Transcendent features in the Soul Prisoner’s Mask, the Superior “Wolf King’s Mark”, and the Legendary True Dragon Blood could be partly used after the fusion, but he couldn’t fully understand their nature or carry out their full power.

  “Although this item was created for an evil purpose, it might prove useful sometimes. Well, I might as well call you the Soul Mask!”

  Ji Ye thought for a moment and changed the item’s name. He didn’t exactly dislike the original name, but it was a little bit too long.

  “Why do I have the feeling that the Soul Mask isn’t just useful in sneaking?

  “Theoretically speaking, this mask can replace any creature’s soul, and I can remotely control it…… So, it seems that I can create a clone with this, right?”

  An idea popped up in his head.

  He thought of a few things, such as the Soul Mask from the Metal Men’s territory and the seeds of the Thousand-Year Tree Demon from the Battlefield of Providence, that could go with the Soul Mask……

  “Hu…… Hu…… Ms. Xiaoqian, I need to speak to the master!”

  While Ji Ye was considering the possibility of a clone, a voice suddenly echoed from outside.

  “Master is training in seclusion. He’s not to be disturbed!”

  Nie Xiaoqian’s voice came into his ears.

  “But this is an urgent matter!”

  The newcomer sounded rather anxious.

  “What’s up? Did the Eagle Men take any action?”

  Ji Ye opened the door and walked out.

  He recognized the local who had come to talk to him as a member of the “navy” of the Twin Dragon Mount fort.

  Compared to the infantry who had Silver Guards and the cavalry who had Black Armor Soldiers, the navy was doubtlessly the weakest unit in the Twin Dragon Mount fort. They only had some twenty members, and they only had one Commander, who was Ruan Xiaoer.

  However, those navy soldiers were carrying out an important task.

  These days, they had been hiding at the shore wearing battle suits made of the Sludge Monsters’ skins to relay messages for Ruan Xiaoer who was monitoring the Eagle Men.

  They were also helping him with the surveillance. Many of them were even wounded when they encountered sea monsters!

  “Master, Chief Ruan found that the Mirage Monsters were fighting against some leviathans. They seem to be competing for something.

  “He said that it’s a good opportunity and wanted you to join him immediately!”
