Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 317: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

"Rong Rong, Little Wu, long time no see." Chen Ming greeted Ning Rongrong and Little Wu. Then, Little Wu, standing nearby, turned her head and looked at Chen Ming with suspicion.

"Do we know each other?" Little Wu asked, looking curiously at the man in front of her.

Tall, broad-shouldered, and with a rugged masculine appearance, upon closer inspection, he was quite good-looking. If she had seen someone like this before, surely she wouldn't have forgotten?

"My name is Xiao Wu as well. You're also called Xiao Wu?" Dressed in a maid outfit, Xiao Wu turned her head to glance at the other Xiao Wu. After seeing her nod, she sighed and held her head.

She hadn't expected to meet someone with the same name—or at least the same pronunciation—as hers.

"Brother Chen Ming, it's you? Long time no see! Did you come out of seclusion? That's... rare!"

Recognizing him instantly, Ning Rongrong spoke directly and teasingly as she looked at Chen Ming.

Ever since Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo had met years ago, Chen Ming had repaired Little Wu's martial soul, allowing her to cultivate again. Since then, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan has been keen to establish a good relationship with Dugu Bo. Due to the clan's base being relatively close to Heaven Dou City, Ning Rongrong had often been sent by Ning Fengzhi to interact with Dugu Yan and Chen Ming.

However, Chen Ming was either deep in cultivation at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, researching his abilities, or roaming the continent, involved in various matters. Two years had passed, and while Ning Rongrong had become best friends with Dugu Yan, she hadn't seen Chen Ming even once.

If not for Dugu Yan frequently complaining about how Chen Ming was always in seclusion or only going out to hunt soul beasts, Ning Rongrong might have thought Chen Ming was intentionally avoiding her.

"Ahem, cultivation is no joke. If you don't work hard when you're young, you won't be able to catch up when you're old," Chen Ming said with a smile.

Originally, he wanted to say, "If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old," but he changed his words to avoid revealing too much to Tang San.

"Master Chen Ming..." Little Wu turned to look at him, her emotions complicated. She thought back to the life-changing event years ago and gave Chen Ming a somewhat restrained smile.

Being rescued from her suffering by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan had already been her stroke of luck. But after regaining the ability to cultivate, Little Wu truly understood just how vast the difference was between being able to cultivate and being unable to.

If the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan had given her a visible future, then Chen Ming's help would have given her the potential to change that future.

"Just call me Chen Ming or Brother Chen. No need to be so formal," Chen Ming said casually with a smile.

"Two years of no contact, and it seems you've changed quite a bit. A Soul Elder-level strength—it's not just about talent. It seems your efforts are no less than mine."

"Brother Chen," Little Wu said, her smile becoming more genuine, though she still seemed a bit reserved.

Reportedly, four years ago, Chen Ming had already reached the rank of Soul Grandmaster. After training with the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, his strength had grown tremendously, and Dugu Bo even praised him for surpassing his talent in his youth. Over the years, Dugu Bo's power had surged, and as his disciple, Chen Ming must have grown significantly as well.

Two years ago, Chen Ming's strength was already suspected to be at the Soul Ancestor level.

Most importantly, according to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, his only real interest seemed to be cultivation. Despite being a student of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, he spent almost the entire year training under Dugu Bo's protection. After two years, his strength was now beyond evaluation.

Looking at Chen Ming and recalling Bone Douluo's evaluation of him, Little Wu suspected that his strength might have already reached the level of a Soul King.

"Rong Rong, Little Wu, what are you doing here? Are you thinking of joining this Shrek Academy?" Chen Ming asked directly, without hiding anything.

"From what I know, this Shrek Academy is nothing good. Almost everyone in the academy is a lecherous creep, and there's even a total pervert. I just passed by to check out how ridiculous this academy is, but if you're curious, just take a look. Don't even think about joining."

"Hey, do you have a problem with our Shrek Academy?!"

Hearing Chen Ming's words, Li Yusong's eyes widened. He summoned his martial soul, and six spirit rings—white, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black—appeared around him, exuding part of his Soul Emperor aura.

Even though Li Yusong knew Chen Ming was speaking the truth, Shrek Academy members couldn't tolerate anyone badmouthing their academy.

Even if it was the truth, it was unacceptable!

Feeling Li Yusong's aura, Tang San and Xiao Wu were both shocked. They hadn't expected such a seemingly ordinary academy to have a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse and one who was stationed at the gate to recruit students.

Tang San, who had been skeptical about Shrek Academy, immediately let down his guard and sighed in relief after seeing Li Yusong's strength.

"Teacher is like a father to me. The academy he introduced must be the best. Even if its reputation doesn't match Spirit Hall, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, or the Five Elemental Academies, I trust Shrek is the most suitable place for me," Tang San thought to himself. At the same time, he reassured Xiao Wu, who looked somewhat shaken by Chen Ming's words.

"Xiao Wu, trust me. Teacher wouldn't let us down," Tang San whispered to her. Xiao Wu shrugged indifferently.

She remembered that the perverts they met yesterday were from Shrek Academy, right? If she joined Shrek, wouldn't she have to face those creeps and perverts every day?

Ugh, just thinking about it gave her goosebumps.

If not for wanting to support Tang San and her fear of being recognized by high-level soul masters in a big city, Xiao Wu would have dragged Tang San away already.

Wait.

Looking at Li Yusong's spirit rings, Xiao Wu's heart tightened. Don't tell her this obscure little academy might have Soul Douluo or even Title Douluo-level powerhouses.

While Tang San and Xiao Wu were lost in thought, Chen Ming shrugged indifferently at Li Yusong.

"Years ago, when I was out hunting soul beasts with my teacher, I passed through Souto City and encountered your esteemed academy's dean and a few students."

At this, Li Yusong's expression changed, as if recalling something.

It seemed like Shrek Academy's current state had started to change from that day years ago.

"Yes, you're thinking correctly. My teacher is Dugu Bo. The conflict your academy had years ago was with me."

"I was peacefully buying jewelry for my fiancée by the roadside, and your academy's students started harassing her. After I knocked them down, your academy's dean Flender, using his Soul Sage-level strength, tried to bully me, who was only a Soul Elder at the time. But then my teacher slapped him to the ground."

"I've known what your academy is like for years now."
