Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 127: Ice Scorpion

"The consumption of soul power is not that great."

This soul skill does not consume much energy, and its consumption rate is even slower than Chen Ming's third soul ring, the Death and Poison World.

Although domain-type soul skills cannot be compared with ordinary soul skills, and their consumption is notoriously high, they are not as good as the Death Poison Realm, which proves that this skill has relatively low consumption among the ten thousand year soul skills.

After Ju Douluo, Ghost Douluo and Chen Ming briefly discussed this soul skill, Chen Ming began to dismember Zhu Qing Ice Toad's body bit by bit with a knife.

Although almost no one in Douluo Continent knows the Zhu Qing Ice Toad, its body structure is not much different from that of a normal toad. Except for its eyes which are three times the size of an ordinary toad, the rest of its organs are similar to the toad-like soul beasts that Chen Ming had encountered before.

Soon, Chen Ming opened the stomach of Zhu Qing Bing Chan. In the stomach, the body of Bing Bi Scorpion had been corroded by the toxic digestive fluid.

Chen Ming's spiritual eyes looked up and down, and found a special soul power fluctuation in the left claw of the Ice Jade Scorpion. Chen Ming removed the left claw of the Ice Jade Scorpion and injected soul power into it. As the soul power was absorbed, the size of the Ice Jade Scorpion's left claw shrank rapidly, and pieces of armor fell off after losing soul power and nutrition.

Finally, the half-meter-long left claw had shrunk to the size of a normal person's fist. The mucus and other impurities that were originally wrapped on it completely disappeared during the shrinking process, revealing a green phosphorus scorpion left claw emitting a faint green light.

"External soul bone?" Ju Douluo took a look at it, poked it with some curiosity, and felt the soul power fluctuations on it that were different from those of ordinary soul bones. He felt that he had learned something new.

"It's really an external soul bone." Ghost Douluo muttered to the side. Although he himself possessed a soul bone that was about 50,000 years old, it was the first time that Ghost Douluo saw an external soul bone that had not been absorbed.

As for why it was not absorbed?

Because they have seen the external soul bones that have been absorbed many times in the past few decades.

Let's put it this way, before Bibi Dong grew up. Although Bibi Dong called Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo "Elder Ju" and "Elder Ghost", at that time, Bibi Dong treated them as a half-teacher. Although she was not an apprentice, she received a lot of training from them.

Although Bibi Dong's six-winged purple wings were kept secret from the outside world, they had actually seen them many times. They had also witnessed with their own eyes how the external soul bone, which was about a thousand years old, gradually grew to the level of a hundred thousand year soul bone as Bibi grew up.

Seeing the external soul bones that had not been absorbed, Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo were a little curious, but not greedy.

If it were an outsider, Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo would not guarantee that they would not have any bad intentions. But Chen Ming was their new disciple.

He has a good character and his talent is unprecedented. I like him so much, how could I be interested in a piece of ten thousand year old external soul bone?
Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo are still waiting for Chen Ming to grow up so that they can rely on their disciples in the future.

Apart from anything else, just to be able to leave a comment in the history of Douluo Continent as "the teacher of peerless Douluo Chen Ming" in the future, Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo must also protect their apprentices well.

"The external soul bone is a rare good thing, absorb it quickly." Ju Douluo said to Chen Ming, but Chen Ming shook his head after a moment of silence.

"I can't seem to absorb this external soul bone for the time being."

In the original novel, the soul bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion has the so-called Pride of the Ice Jade Scorpion, and only soul masters with the ultimate ice attribute can absorb it.

At that time, the Xingluo Royal Family, who controlled the auction house, did not know about this. It was only after Huo Yuhao reminded them that they took the soul bones for testing, and finally came to the conclusion that it was indeed impossible for non-ultimate ice soul masters to absorb it.

He just used his mental power to detect it and found that there was indeed a big problem with this soul bone.

There is no poison in the bloodline of the Ice Scorpion, only pure extreme ice attribute. Although it still has flesh and blood, it can be regarded as a soul beast that is closer to elemental spirits. The soul ring carries more of the soul power and origin of the soul beast, while the soul bone contains the blood of the soul beast. The soul ring will display different soul skills depending on the soul master who absorbs it, while the soul bone is very stable. Under normal circumstances, no matter who absorbs it, the soul skills contained in it will not change.

Therefore, there is a saying in Douluo Continent that spirit rings focus on age, while spirit bones focus on quality.

Chen Ming tried to test this soul bone with his spirituality and mental strength. If he insisted on absorbing it, he could. But as a price, the entire palm of his left hand would be completely frozen. From tendons to bones to flesh and blood, except for being able to maintain a negligible vitality, the entire palm would turn into ice.

It can even be said that this is still based on the premise that Chen Ming's tendon strength has reached the Titled Douluo level, his body is full of vitality, and his martial soul is the Green Phosphorus Scorpion King, which is suspected to be related to the Ice Green Scorpion.

If it were an ordinary soul master, even an ice attribute soul master, he would be attacked by the soul power of this metacarpal bone. At the very least, his palm and arm would be disabled, and at the worst, the extreme cold air would directly attack his heart meridian, causing him to lose his soul power or even his life.

For Chen Ming, it is not worth it to absorb it now. If he really wants to absorb it, he must wait until he eats the Star Anise Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot before trying it.

Although this would result in the loss of an opportunity for metacarpal bone evolution, Chen Ming couldn't joke with his arm or even his life.

Chen Ming explained to Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo the properties of the Ice Scorpion's left metacarpal bone. Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo were a little at a loss.

The so-called ultimate attribute is still a general concept in this era, and has not yet been officially divided into a separate realm. The two knew that some martial spirits had attributes with different strengths, but they did not know what the true ultimate was.

In other words, in this era, in this era where angel spirits exist, there is really no spirit on the continent that dares to call itself the ultimate.

Even if the attributes of these martial spirits can be considered as the ultimate level according to the methods of later generations, as long as the martial spirits of the six-winged angels are still being passed down and the martial spirit hall is still standing, then these martial spirits are not worthy of the title of ultimate.

However, despite this, Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo did not intend to take this external soul bone. Instead, they asked Chen Ming to find a box to store this external soul bone and see if he could find a way to absorb it again in the future.

After handling the matter, Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo took Chen Ming and quickly left the Far North, a place that was extremely inhospitable for human soul masters, and moved quickly towards the interior of Douluo Continent.

After about three to five days, the three of them left the Far North. After leaving the Far North, they were able to really let go of their speed.

Because of the identities of Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo, it is somewhat embarrassing for the Tiandou Empire. If possible, it would be best not to expose their relationship.

So when Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo were near the border of Tiandou Empire, they threw Chen Ming down, and asked Chen Ming to find a way to return to Tiandou City by himself.

At level 44, he could be considered a top expert in Douluo Continent. It would be unreasonable if he didn't practice more.

Moreover, with Chen Ming's configuration, let alone Soul Sect, even Soul King and Soul Emperor are not his opponents, and only Soul Saint can be evenly matched. It's not that he can walk sideways on the mainland, but basically there is not much danger.

Of course, Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo did not really abandon Chen Ming. Before leaving, they left Chen Ming with a Spirit Hall elder token and their own tokens.

As long as Chen Ming goes to the Spirit Hall and takes out the token and the two's token, the local Spirit Hall must obey Chen Ming's orders. This can be said to be a powerful back-up.

As for whether Chen Ming would be attacked by surprise or something like that.
How to say it, Chen Ming is a poison soul master after all. He started learning courses such as poisoning and sneak attacks after his martial soul just awakened. Although he didn't show much, his performance in these two aspects is still quite outstanding.

Not to mention being ambushed, with his current ability and lethality, if he doesn't make an ambush on others it would be a blessing from the ancestors of those people.
