Military Four Great Families
"Sorry."
The girl who approached Xie Xie to ask the question was tall for her age, and seemed to realize her lapse in composure.
She quickly apologized.
"I was quite excited to see some of the people who fought against the Shrek Academy two years ago."
Xie Xie a wry smile and said in a deep voice, "It's nothing. Do you have any other questions?"
Seriously, please don't ask about this anymore.
They won that battle by default; there's nothing more to say about it.
The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, her voice filled with undisguised anticipation. "Excuse me, where is Huo Yuhao? Didn't he come with you?"
Xie Xie: "...-
He knew it!
Although these people became famous along with the leader, the most famous one was definitely the one ranked first on the Young Genius List.
Boss Yuhao has earned the title of Spirit Transmission.
When these people try to get close to someone, their primary target is most likely the other person; they are the secondary target.
Oh, wait, there's one more person who's different.
Xie Xie glanced in Tang Wulin's direction; a group of people were also surrounding the other man.
This is only natural; after his self-introduction, everyone knew that Tang Wulin was now a Level 4 Blacksmith.
Advanced Division involve the manufacture of Mecha and Battle Armor, so not many people choose forging Side Profession, and even fewer are skilled in it. Naturally, forging geniuses like Wulin are in high demand.
After a long silence, Xie Xie finally answered:
"Ahem, Boss Yuhao is at the Ming De Hall."
"Huh?!!"
The surrounding classmates were taken aback, then someone exclaimed in realization, "We did hear that Huo Yuhao received an invitation from the Ming De Hall, but it's true!"
"Really? That's Ming De Hall." A boy wearing glasses pushed up his glasses, his tone full of disbelief. "It's true, I heard about it from the Mecha Master Association."
"Oh, I see. That's amazing!"
A murmur of discussion immediately arose from the surrounding area.
"Speaking of which, after listening to your self-introduction, Xie Xie, your talent is certainly worthy of being listed among the Young Genius List, right?" a boy asked curiously.
Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy restricts enrollment to those under fifteen years old each time. This is because the enrollment age for Intermediate Division is mostly nine years old, and Intermediate Division have six years of study time. Although students can graduate early, some soul masters enter Advanced Division at the age of fifteen.
That's how he is. And since he had introduced himself in class before, they had already heard about Xie Xie's age and abilities.
At twelve years old, he had already reached the Soul Elder; this put him among the very elite in his class.
"Well, maybe I'm just not good enough yet," Xie Xie said modestly, but he had other thoughts in mind.
In fact, with their talent, they could have been listed among the Young Genius List, but none of them chose to do so.
After all, if they make the list now, they'll most likely be ranked lower. Besides, there are two prodigies on that list!
The current generation of Young Genius List will obviously be relegated to being mere foils to those two, Xie Xie has no desire to try that.
If you really want to show off, you might as well secure a place on the Wind and Cloud List in the future.
"I see. I think you two are more qualified than that one over there."
The male student looked at the gray-haired boy sitting at a table with a cold expression.
Undying - Xu Yucheng.
Xie Xie looked over, raised an eyebrow, but did not reply.
He had heard of this person before; he was ranked 24th on the Young Genius List, and his Martial Soul seemed to be the Dark Demon Scythe.
This Martial Soul has side effects and puts a great burden on the body. While absorbing Soul Spirit is linked to Divine Power, being able to withstand Soul Ring is linked to physical strength.
If the body cannot withstand Soul Ring of a higher age, then it cannot absorb a powerful Soul Spirit.
His first and second Soul Spirit are probably both a hundred years old, right? But even so, we can't underestimate him."
Xie Xie thought to himself, "But why does someone as fragile as you have the title ' Undying '?"
At this moment, Wang Jinxi walked over and, while others were discussing, pulled Xie Xie towards their small group.
"What's wrong?"
"There are some people here who need to be careful."
Tang Wulin and Zhang Yangzi exchanged a glance, then whispered to the others, "I just found out about the situation from a classmate. There are a few people in our class who are a bit special and we need to be careful."
"I know one of them, Xu Yucheng, who's on the Young Genius List. Who are the others?" Xie Xie asked curiously.
Shen Xing.
"?"
Xie Xie, somewhat puzzled, "Who is this person?"
Who is this person? I've never heard of them before.
"Her cultivation level isn't high, but she's a member of the Shen Family."
Zhang Yangzi pointed to a young girl. Xie Xie turned his head to look, and apart from finding her pretty, he didn't see anything special about her.
However, the person seemed somewhat cold.
"The Shen Family?" Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed instinctively, then quickly covered her mouth. "Is it the Shen Family, one of the Military Four Great Families?"
Her "teacher" had mentioned these common-sense facts about the Federation's strength and power structure, such as the Four Great Federation Powers, the Military Four Great Families, and the eight major military legions, to her in recent years.
After all, they're coming to Mingdu, a place where various forces are mixed together. If they don't even have some common sense, they're likely to fall into a trap.
Among the general public, the most well-known are the Four Great Federation Powers: Spirit Pagoda, Shrek, Ming De Hall, and War God Temple.
However, this is far from the true strength of the Douluo Federation, as many sects and families are not included.
Over the years, family influence has penetrated the military very deeply, resulting in the formation of several large regions within the Federation controlled by different families.
This is unavoidable, since Martial Soul are linked to bloodline inheritance. Powerful families have a higher probability of producing geniuses and strong individuals among their descendants, and over time this pattern has formed.
In these regions, the influence of the major families is so deeply entrenched that it is almost unshakeable. Even the Federal Government is cautious about this and avoids easily touching their interests, since members of parliament always have to rely on the support of these families if they want to gain power.
Among them, the Military Four Great Families refer to families that hold extremely high influence in the military. The Shen Family is one of them, and its influence includes the Northern Sea Legion, one of the eight major legions of the Federation, which shows its strength.
"Yes, it's the Shen Family. She's probably here to gain experience and prestige."
As Federation academy, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy has provided the Federation with a considerable number of talents. Outstanding graduates from here, with recommendations, can receive good starting treatment in the military, making it a great place to enhance their resumes.
Zhang Yangzi looked at Xie Xie, "Xie Xie, we're worried about you. There are quite a few students like her at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, so don't start making fun of her."
They had witnessed firsthand how infuriating Xie Xie's words could be.
Do you understand the true value of being a "master of verbal combat"?
Xie Xie rolled his eyes. "I'm the defensive counter-attack type. I won't bother with others unless they're looking for trouble."
"Hehe."
The crowd gave a cold laugh.
Whether we believe it or not, you'll see.
Amidst the commotion in the classroom, a teacher walked in. It was Lin Qinghan, whom Xie Xie and the others had met before. She entered with a smile and said:
"We have another student joining our class today, let's welcome them!"
A slender young man walked in, remained silent for a moment, and then introduced himself:
"Hello everyone, my name is Yuanen Yehui, nice to meet you--"
A round of applause followed.
Na Nali, watching this scene from outside the classroom, left with satisfaction.
Since you don't plan to join the Dark Department for the time being, then just enjoy your school life for now.
You can enjoy a peaceful life before your Titled Douluo is banned.
