Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 63 The Teaching Committee of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy

……

Upon entering the Education Committee building, Xuanming and the others saw Xue Qinghe, who had left earlier, sitting with three elderly men of different builds, seemingly talking about something.

"This is Xuanming." Xue Qinghe stood up and walked to Xuanming's side, introducing him to the three education committee members.

“Xuanming, these three are the teaching committee members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.”

"Hmm," Xuanming responded without saying anything more.

“Xuanming has a rather aloof personality, please forgive him, three members of the Education Committee,” Dugu Yan explained.

“It’s alright, geniuses naturally have their pride.” Sitting in the middle, Meng Shenji, a teacher of medium height with white hair and beard, stood up and walked over.

“It’s not that he’s arrogant, he just doesn’t know how to speak properly, after all…” Xue Qinghe didn’t finish his sentence.

Meng Shenji nodded slightly. They had naturally learned some information about the child's background from Xue Qinghe.

Having gone through all that, it's normal to be indifferent. If you're still not on guard, then you'd really be a fool.

After introducing himself again, Meng Shenji, the Education Commissioner, finally got to the point.

"I heard from the Crown Prince that your martial spirit is quite unique. May I see it?" Meng Shenji said softly to Xuan Ming with a kind smile.

Xuanming paused, then raised his right hand and took out the blood spear.

It was pitch black, with a dark red blood-red light flashing at the tip, like a throbbing heart. The blood-red light was also mixed with faint black lightning. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the pitch-black lightning was also stained red.

"He's indeed incredibly ferocious." Meng Shenji's eyes changed slightly.

"But such weapons are inherently vicious, always harming both the user and the attacker. Does your martial spirit have any flaws, like backlash, against you?"

“…Yes.” Xuanming briefly explained the Blood Spear’s weakness of devouring its master; after all, it wasn’t something that couldn’t be said.

"Devour itself?" Meng Shenji frowned. The other two education committee members also came forward and touched the blood spear.

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a ferocious martial spirit," said the gaunt Zhilin, the education commissioner.

There are countless martial spirits in this world, but only a handful can be described as ferocious.

“Xuanming’s situation is rather special, and I hope the three education commissioners will take good care of him,” Xue Qinghe said.

“That’s natural,” Meng Shenji said.

"However, I need to learn more about his martial spirit."

"Don't be nervous, child."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air around Meng Shenji suddenly distorted slightly.

Xuanming suddenly felt as if the air around him had solidified, and a massive surge of soul power swept over him, rendering him unable to move.

Unlike the wild and untamed Azure Phosphorous Serpent King soul power that Dugu Bo had previously controlled, this soul power was like a dark quagmire, leaving him nowhere to exert his strength in his attempt to resist.

"Hmm?" Meng Shenji's expression changed slightly.

When a low-level Soul Master faces the direct pressure of the Soul Power released by a high-level Soul Master, let alone resist, even circulating his own Soul Power becomes extremely difficult. However, this child's Soul Power is full of aggression. Faced with his Black Demon Soul Power, it not only did not retract, but instead came forward to bite!

Before Meng Shenji could continue to experience this peculiar soul power, the Black Dragon Martial Soul, stimulated, directly entered a berserk state. Xuan Ming's body also swelled up, with faint black scales appearing on his limbs, and his hands showing obvious beast-like transformation.

"This..." Meng Shenji's expression changed, and the two education committee members beside him also showed strange expressions.

Martial Soul Berserk?

“When my body or mind is subjected to too much stimulation, they will go berserk,” Xuanming explained.

"A berserk state that can be controlled?" Meng Shenji stopped probing.

Berserk is extremely dangerous. It involves releasing mental constraints and unleashing the power of the Martial Soul beyond its limits. It is a kind of overdraft ability. Therefore, after berserk, the Soul Master will fall into a period of weakness and will not be able to activate berserk again for a period of time.

Even high-level beast soul masters would find it difficult to control their berserk state, yet this child was able to remain conscious.
It seems this child not only has amazing talent, but also terrifying willpower... "Can you actively enter berserk mode?" Zhilin asked.

“No, this is passive,” Xuanming said.

"I also cannot suppress the activation of berserk mode."

As long as he is subjected to strong enough stimulation, his berserk state will automatically activate, unless the difference in strength is too great, just like when he was knocked unconscious by Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue in the Hall of Worship.

"It seems that the situation with your martial soul is a bit complicated. We'll have to take our time to understand it," Meng Shenji said.

"Thank you for your trouble, three members of the Education Commission," Xue Qinghe said.

“It’s alright. Now that we’ve joined the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, these things are naturally our responsibility,” Meng Shenji said.

Although the flaw in his martial soul is somewhat troublesome, it may not be without a solution. With such talent, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will surely become a Title Douluo in the future.

Now, it is highly likely that the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, will be made crown prince. If another titled Douluo is added to support him in the future, the empire will become even stronger.

……

"Can you stop going berserk?"

After discussing a few more matters and resolving the enrollment issue, Xue Qinghe left the Education Committee with Xuanming and the others.

However, seeing Xuan Ming's fierce appearance and the murderous aura emanating from his body, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling subconsciously moved away a little.

It's really scary!
"We can only wait for it to calm down on its own," Xuanming said.

"Moreover, the Berserk state consumes a lot of energy, I..."

"hungry."

"..."

……

canteen.

Xuan Ming, who had just left the cafeteria less than an hour ago, started eating again, which startled all the chefs in the cafeteria. They all stood at a distance, looking at Xuan Ming with surprise.

It seems like this child just ate less than an hour ago.

Are you already hungry?

"Your Highness, didn't you say you had something to do? How come you arrived at the Education Committee before us?" Dugu Yan asked.

"It's just a small matter with the Education Committee. After I spoke with Meng Shenji about it, I went to the Education Committee together," Xue Qinghe said.

Having just enrolled in the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, he naturally had to be present in person to show his importance.

He was just a little provoked and couldn't help but go out to get some fresh air.

"Don't you... cultivate?" Xuanming asked in confusion.

The students he saw at the Martial Soul Academy were all very busy, and Hu Liena spent most of her time training, only contacting him when she had free time.

“Cultivation,” Dugu Yan said.

"You don't think... we're bored, do you?"

“A little,” Xuanming said.

Dugu Yan's eye twitched slightly. "You don't actually think that Soul Masters cultivate day and night, do you?"

"Please, for most Soul Masters, spending half their time cultivating every day is already considered quite diligent."

"Half the time, that's the limit that a normal Soul Master can achieve, and it's also the most cost-effective."
