Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 302: Seventh Level Soul Instructor, News from Sea God Island
Because Xu Bai's identity was no longer the same as before, and Shui Xuan's status had skyrocketed after he became one of the few exposed seventh-level soul masters on the continent, Xu Bai had no way to pass through the barrier outside the city. However, Chen Ming only moved his mental power slightly, and the guards ignored the existence of the two, and took Xu Bai into the city in a swagger.

Looking at the familiar scene that he hadn't seen for decades, Xu Bai shed a few tears and his pace quickened. Soon he brought Chen Ming to Shui Xuan's residence.

Shui Xuan's residence is a large courtyard. Although it does not seem to be defended by so many soul guides and guarded by soldiers, Chen Ming can feel the soul power of several Soul Kings and Soul Emperors in the corners of the courtyard. There are even two Soul Saints lurking in the courtyard.

In the Sun and Moon Continent of this era, this is almost the highest configuration of defense. Even in the Douluo Continent, the defense of this configuration is quite good on paper.

Chen Ming still used the same old trick, and with a sweep of his mental power, these soul masters ignored the two. After confirming the aura of the only soul douluo in the courtyard, Chen Ming directly teleported Xu Bai over a short distance.

In a courtyard with a pond, the old Shui Xuanzheng took off his shirt and sat on a rock in the middle of the pond, in a posture similar to five hearts facing the sky, meditating quietly.

Because he was too old, his body had become skinny, with old skin clinging tightly to his skeleton. His back had become thick, his head had become shiny, and a wisp of pure white beard that looked like it had been carefully groomed hung down to his chest.

In the meditative state, from a distance, he looked like an old turtle crawling on a stone, with the white beard hanging down to his chest covering nearly half of his body in that awkward posture.

Beside him, a Xuanming turtle, whose cultivation level had just exceeded a hundred years, was boredly stretching its head to catch small fish in the pond. The tail behind it, which was longer and more flexible than that of ordinary turtles, kept slapping in the pond water, and the splashing water sprinkled on Shui Xuan's old body and the white beard that reached his waist.

In general, the person meditating on the stone is more like a Xuanming turtle in temperament, while the Xuanming turtle playing in the pond is more like a child.

Because this was Shui Xuan's training place, there were no servants or attendants around, and even the soul masters who were guarding were guarding outside the courtyard. So the first person to discover Chen Ming and Xu Bai was the Xuanming Turtle who was playing in the pool.

Looking at the two people who appeared, the Xuanming Turtle that was eating fish was dazed for a moment, and then immediately crawled to Shui Xuan's side, constantly supporting Shui Xuan's old body with its head, and the water-attributed soul power surged, controlling the constant waves of the pool water.

Turtles don't have vocal cords, only respiratory tracts. The Dou Luo Continent, which doesn't follow the rules, sometimes strangely follows the settings of reality. Anyway, even if it has the bloodline of Xuanwu, the Xuanming Turtle can't make any sounds like roaring in ten thousand years.

Although this hundred-year-old Xuanming Turtle was more human-like than the average soul beast because Shui Xuan had brought him up like a child since childhood and even though it was only a hundred years old it had the IQ of a four or five-year-old human child, he had no idea what to do. He wanted to shout but couldn't, and could only keep disturbing Shui Xuan.

Under the interference of the Xuanming Turtle, Shui Xuan, who was originally immersed in meditation, woke up. However, because of his old age, Shui Xuan did not react for a while that an outsider had entered the yard. He just reached out and patted the Xuanming Turtle on the head and comforted it.

"Be good, don't get excited, your brother is here."

No matter how smart the hundred-year-old Xuanming Turtle was, it was not that smart. Although it reminded Shui Xuan because it saw outsiders, after Shui Xuan comforted it, the Xuanming Turtle actually calmed down and did not continue to care about Chen Ming and the others.

Or in the little turtle's mind, Xu Bai was an acquaintance who had just been away for "a while", and even his face hadn't changed much. As for Chen Ming, who looked like a shadow, he was ignored.

Just as Shui Xuan was preparing to practice, Chen Ming, who was standing by, lifted the mask on Xu Bai's breath and pushed him forward with his soul power. It was not until Xu Bai stepped into the pool that Shui Xuan straightened his back and squinted his eyes at Xu Bai.

"Xiao Bai, haven't I told you many times that you must knock on the door before entering a house? This is..."

"."

Looking at Xu Bai, who looked almost the same as he did more than 20 years ago, Shui Xuan subconsciously said the words he had not said for decades. However, before he finished speaking, Shui Xuan remembered that his unlucky apprentice was exiled to the south 20 years ago because he competed with the prince for a woman. Looking at Xu Bai, who seemed to be the same as 20 years ago, and then looking at Chen Ming, who was wearing a black robe and had no aura on his body, as if he was an illusion. Shui Xuan was silent for a moment, and then showed a relieved smile.

"So it's my time, Xiaobai. I've always been afraid of what it's like after death. I didn't expect that you would go first. Are you here to pick me up? But why not your mother, A Xiang? You still won't forgive me."

"Teacher, after all these years you still miss my mother. I asked why my father was so sad. No, teacher, I'm not dead yet!"

Xu Bai knelt in the pond and let the water wet his clothes. He moved slowly in front of Shui Xuan on his knees. He held Shui Xuan's arm tightly with both hands, which looked like it would break at any time. After a long while, he uttered a word.

"You're not dead?" Feeling the warmth on his apprentice's arm, Shui Xuan looked awkwardly at the black tortoise that was leaning close to Xu Bai and butting its head against Xu Bai. He felt indescribably embarrassed.

“I’m not dead either.”

"Ahem, I'm too old. Some time ago, I built a few soul guide shells and researched the development of several soul guides. I haven't been in good health recently. I always thought that my time is coming to an end, so I'm a little bit..."

Shui Xuan stood up from the stone, reached out to help Xu Bai out of the pool, and looking at his disciples and the man in black in the distance, Shui Xuan smiled awkwardly.

"Xiaobai, is it really you? After all these years, you haven't aged at all? And your soul power, ahem, your soul power is only at this level. But why do I feel so hot? Did you have any adventure?"

“Teacher, this is so and so.”

Xu Bai pulled Shui Xuan to Chen Ming's side and quickly told Shui Xuan about his own affairs.

After knowing that the man in black robe in front of him was a demigod from another continent, who had easily brought about tremendous changes to his disciples, and had flown all the way from the south of the continent with his disciples, Shui Xuan's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Your Excellency, are you the current Seagod Douluo of Seagod Island, Lord Poseidon?"

Shui Xuan has lived for more than a hundred years, and he is no ordinary person. Unlike Xu Bai, who didn't know what a demigod or a limit douluo was, Shui Xuan immediately made some associations after listening to Xu Bai's words.

Although the way of association was wrong, it still aroused Chen Ming's interest.

"I'm not Poseidon, the contemporary Poseidon Douluo of Poseidon Island, but if you know Poseidon Island, then you should know about the existence of Douluo Continent, right?"

"I am a demigod from Douluo Continent. As for my name, you have definitely never heard of it. After all, I have only traveled the continent in the last few decades (less than twenty years)."

"I originally thought that you were a resident of the Sun Moon Continent, but it turns out that you not only know about Sea God Island, but also the name of the current Sea God Douluo. It seems that your identity or your family's identity is not that simple."
