Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 19: Education Committee and Examinations
As soon as Chen Ming entered the room, he could feel a mental force exploring him. The mental force was strong and undisguised. When Chen Ming felt it, he couldn't help but take a step back subconsciously.

It was this inconspicuous action that made a tall and thin old man in the room sigh.

"Hey, kid... can you sense my mental power?" The gentle-looking old man stood up curiously, took a few steps forward, and looked Chen Ming up and down as if he had discovered some rare animal.

"My name is Meng Shenji. I'm a Soul Douluo. I'm on the teaching committee of Tiandou Royal Academy. My martial soul is Black Demon. Strictly speaking, I'm a spiritual soul master." As if afraid that Chen Ming would be scared by him, Meng Shenji introduced himself.

"You can sense my spiritual power. Is your martial soul spiritual?"

It’s no wonder that Meng Shenji had such an idea, because in this era, mental power is a very mysterious thing, and soul masters have insufficient knowledge of this power. Only a few high-level soul masters or spiritual soul masters know something about it.

Some soul masters, even when they have reached the level of Titled Douluo, still have very limited use of their mental power. Even if there is a transformed 100,000-year soul beast standing in front of them, they cannot recognize it. It is almost like being blind.

Although Meng Shenji is not a Titled Douluo, he is also a senior Soul Douluo. Because of his own spiritual spirit, the Black Demon, he can use his mental power to do things such as detection.

The other two members of the Education Committee, Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin, although they are also experienced high-level Soul Douluos, they have only touched the surface of the use of mental power and are completely unable to use mental power to detect such operations.

Meng Shenji used his mental power to probe, and basically only Soul Douluo and Title Douluo could understand what it was, and a few Soul Saints could feel as if something was looking at them. Soul Masters below Soul Saints, under normal circumstances, could not even feel it.

The probability of spiritual martial spirits appearing is extremely small, so small that it's a bummer. It probably only accounts for one in ten thousand of the soul master group. Even in the Tiandou Royal Academy, the highest institution of learning in the Tiandou Empire, there is only one true pure spiritual soul master, Meng Shenji, and there are no more than ten other soul masters with spiritual attributes, and most of them are teachers.

Under such factors, it is no wonder that Meng Shen is a little excited.

"Um, Meng Jiao Councillor, my martial soul is not a spiritual martial soul, but a beast martial soul, the Emerald Scorpion King. I am just born with some talent in spiritual power, and I am more sensitive to spiritual power."

"No..." Hearing Chen Ming's answer, Meng Shenji was a little disappointed, but he was not embarrassed. Instead, he changed the subject very skillfully.

"Emerald Scorpion King, King-level martial spirit. This quality is definitely top-notch. Perhaps it is because you are born with an extraordinary talent in mental strength that your martial spirit can become a king."

A king-level martial soul is a special classification. The martial souls in this classification are superior to the general ones, but their genetics are unstable. It is essentially a benign mutation. Its appearance means that the talent must exceed that of the general soul masters with the same kind of martial soul.

Taking emperor-level soul beasts as an example, their children must have stronger talents than their peers, but they are not necessarily emperors. They can only be considered to have emperor blood or king blood, with higher talent potential. In the future, they are more likely to become king-level or emperor-level soul beasts than their peers.

An ordinary soul beast can become a king or even an emperor by enduring the years and having adventures, but the prerequisite is that there is no other king or emperor above him.

"Maybe, I'm not sure either." How could Chen Ming not know the evolution process of his martial soul, but he couldn't tell his secret the first time they met.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is Bai Baoshan. He is a member of the Education Committee like me and a defense-type Soul Douluo."

"Hello, kid." The short and fat old man smiled and waved at Chen Ming, not looking like a superior at all. "This is Zhilin, also a member of the Education Committee, and a Control-type Soul Douluo."

"Hello, kid..." The drunken old man stroked his messy beard, gave a gentle smile, and began to quickly recall the freshman information he had read today.

"Greetings, the three teachers. My name is Chen Ming. I was born in the Chen family of Biluo City in the Tiandou Empire. My family is a hereditary earl. I am eleven years old this year. My martial soul is the Emerald Scorpion King. My soul power level is twenty-three. I have one yellow and one purple soul ring. Please give me more guidance."

From the fact that the three people did not call him by his name but called him child, and from the fact that Meng Shenji asked about his martial soul, Chen Ming guessed that the three education committee members might not know his information, so he simply told them all his basic information when introducing himself to avoid embarrassment for everyone.

At the beginning, when the three members of the Education Committee heard about Chen Ming's background and family, they did not react much, but just nodded gently. However, when he talked about his soul power and soul rings, a breeze flashed by, and the three members of the Education Committee appeared beside Chen Ming without knowing when, and looked at Chen Ming in doubt.

"Teacher Qin, this..." Meng Shenji glanced at Qin Ming next to him with a questioning look in his eyes.

"That's right, three members of the Education Committee, the information about Chen Ming is completely true. His martial spirit, soul power, and soul rings all completely match the description in the information."

Hearing Qin Ming's answer, the three education committee members couldn't suppress their smiles on their faces. Bai Baoshan even reached out and patted Chen Ming on the back to express his excitement.

Bai Baoshan, Zhilin and Meng Shenji knew that they had reached their limit. They had been devoted to education for many years and were eager to recruit outstanding talents. They gave the greatest care to both teachers and students. They were the most competent teaching committee members of Tiandou Royal Academy in hundreds of years.

Hearing that an extraordinary genius had truly appeared, the three of them were immediately overjoyed, unable to suppress their excitement.

"Come on, kid, follow us to the backyard and let us three old guys see how you perform."

Meng Shenji took Chen Ming's hand and quickly led Chen Ming through the back door and walked towards the courtyard behind the house.

The soul master walked very fast. After walking for about two or three minutes and going down a hill, they arrived at a special training ground with an unknown stone as the ground.

Although it was late, the sky of Douluo World had not been polluted yet, and the light from the stars and the moon in the sky could still illuminate this special training ground.

Zhilin pulled Qin Ming over and whispered something in his ear. Qin Ming nodded as if he understood something, then he moved some distance away and summoned his martial spirit.

Five soul rings, two yellow and three purple, surrounded him. Blazing flames surrounded his body, and the flames made the venue even brighter.

"Xiao Ming, summon your martial spirit and attack me to show off your spirit skills and strength."

"Don't worry, I will hold back my strength."
