Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 138: Descendants of a General
"Level 12 Soul Master? I remember that you are only 24 years old this year? You were only level when you left the academy last year?" After hearing Chen Ming's self-introduction, the senior named Xiong Xin was immediately surprised and immediately told Chen Ming's information.

"Hmm?" Chen Ming nodded in confusion, not quite understanding why this senior student, whom he had never met, was so concerned about his information.

Feeling Chen Ming's gaze, the burly Xiong Xin felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, no, I am your junior."

"Well, actually, although we were out training last year, we heard about you after we came back. I'm a bit curious, so I asked about it. I can guarantee that I have absolutely no other intentions."

Xiong Xin said this, and went to the side, pulling out a female soul master who was probably a little shorter than him, but not inferior in horizontal development.

"Look, junior, I'm already married. It's not that I have other ideas!"

Getting married in one's twenties was normal even in Chen Ming's previous life, but it was considered late marriage and late childbearing in Douluo Continent.

Although Chen Ming was still a little uncomfortable with the situation of getting married while still in school, he still nodded to the soul master.

"Hello, Senior."

"Well, hello, junior. My name is Zhu Zhen, my martial soul is Storm Boar, and I'm a level 42 strong attack spirit master." Zhu Zhen patted Xiong Xin's shoulder and explained to Chen Ming: "Xiao Xiong doesn't have any bad intentions, he's just a little curious."

"Little Bear."

Looking at senior Xiong Xin's more than two-meter-tall figure, Chen Ming felt that the nickname was somewhat inappropriate, but he did not show it.

"Isn't it human nature to be curious?"

"By the way, Senior Xiong Xin, Senior Zhu Zhen, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, that's what happened." Xiong Xin pointed at his teammates who were laughing at his embarrassed look.

"We are the team from the previous session. As you know, although our Royal Academy has two teams, one of which was guaranteed to advance to the finals, everyone knows that the team that was guaranteed to advance was just sent there for the sake of gilding the lily. It was considered lucky to survive the first round. The team that made it to the finals is the main force."

"In our last session, we defeated the Nether White Tiger of the Xingluo Empire Royal Academy, but because we consumed too much energy, we never won against the Spirit Hall team again."

Although in reality, even if they were in perfect condition, Xiong Xin's team might not be able to beat the Spirit Hall team. But in front of his junior, Xiong Xin still had to save some face.

As the saying goes, it’s better to lose the battle than the person.

What's more, if the Spirit Hall were to face the Nether White Tiger of the Star Luo Empire, and they were to face the opponents of the Spirit Hall team, it is not impossible for them to defeat the Spirit Hall team.

"Because we performed well, the Education Committee called us back from the Xingdou Great Forest. They want us to help check out this year's team." "Junior, you will definitely join the team, right? The reputation of the Tiandou Empire depends on you in the future!"

Xiong Xin touched his head and looked at Chen Ming, who had reached level 35 at the age of just twelve. He couldn't imagine how strong Chen Ming would be in this competition.

Even at the slowest progress, it must be at the level of Soul Sect, right?

Even if he cannot win the championship in this competition, after another five years of training, his soul power will basically be close to the level of a soul king!

Soul King! That is a realm that has never appeared in the Soul Master Competition in the past 100 years!

Moreover, a Soul King at the age of twenty is no longer at the level of a so-called Titled Douluo, but he will definitely become a Titled Douluo in the future.

Although he has good talent, Xiong Xin still can't help but feel a little envious when looking at Chen Ming.

Obviously, Xiong Xin, who is just an ordinary soul master, could not have imagined that according to the original world line, the next soul master competition would have three soul kings and a large number of soul lords at once. The seemingly peaceful continent will undergo earth-shaking changes in ten years.

Although Dugu Yan had a lot to say to Chen Ming, because the field was full of fighting soul masters, Dugu Yan had to take on the responsibility of captain. So after making an appointment with Chen Ming to have a good chat in the evening, he continued to pay attention to the selection of team members.

Seeing that Xiong Xin wanted to talk to Chen Ming, Zhu Zhen did not continue to disturb him. Instead, he took over Xiong Xin's responsibility and continued to observe the situation with his teammates, leaving space for Xiong Xin and Chen Ming to talk.

Through the conversation, Chen Ming learned that this senior Xiong Xin was born into a family of military generals in the Tiandou Empire. His father was a Soul Sage-level soul master, and his grandfather had the cultivation of a Soul Douluo-level soul master. He was once one of the two great marshals of the Tiandou Empire along with Ge Long. However, because he was injured on the battlefield in his early years, he had to retire from the position of marshal early and spend his retirement at home.

Xiong Xin and Zhu Zhen were childhood sweethearts, both from military families. They grew up together and entered Tiandou Royal Academy together. Because of their outstanding performance, they became members of the Tiandou Royal Academy team together, and then became the captain and vice-captain of that session.

Although the two of them had no martial soul fusion skills due to the huge difference in their martial souls, they fought very well together, and were able to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two, making them the strongest students in the academy.

After the last competition, the two realized their own shortcomings and prepared to go to the Xingdou Great Forest for training. Their teammates also chose to follow the captain and vice-captain to adventure together, so that they could join the army together in the future and become generals of the Tiandou Empire.

They were not in the college the year Chen Ming enrolled.

After nearly a year of adventure, the three teaching committee members sent people to the Xingdou Great Forest to find them and bring them back, hoping that they would guide the new team. After returning to the academy, Xiong Xin and Zhu Zhen teamed up and even defeated a Soul King-level teacher.

Perhaps because of his background, Xiong Xin had none of the bad habits of the nobility. He was smart and capable without too many small thoughts, and he was very much to Chen Ming's liking. After a brief chat, the two became friends.

Xiong Xin had no intention of finding out what kind of training Chen Ming received from Poison Douluo, and how he had raised his soul power to eleven levels in more than a year. Instead, he carefully told Chen Ming the story of their team's battles in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, and occasionally added some of his own insights after traveling the continent.

Later on, Xiong Xin discovered that Chen Ming seemed to be very proficient in fighting. Sometimes he could talk about soul power and soul skill control techniques that surprised even himself.
