Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 135: The Hope of Becoming a God
Why is Chen Ming considering this issue now?

Because in the Douluo World, poison is not a strong attribute. It is excellent at the lower levels, but simply does not exist at the higher levels.

The only god related to poison is Medusa in Douluo Dalu 4, and she is a third-level god who was killed and only fragments of her divinity remained.

It can even be said that this third-level god is also a god of evil. As for poison, it is just a racial ability. We can only infer that he should be a god who can use poison.

If Chen Ming were to inherit other god positions, then the only positions suitable for Chen Ming would probably be the god of soul or spirituality. However, in the God Realm, there was no such position.

The God of Poison and the God of Spirituality that are most suitable for Chen Ming are not available in the God Realm. Naturally, it is impossible for Chen Ming to just sit there and settle for those god positions that are not suitable for him.

So whether from the perspective of conspiracy theory or from a practical perspective, as long as Chen Ming doesn't want to be a nobody, then he must go his own way.

Considering that his current body is no weaker than Titled Douluo in all aspects due to the blessing of various aspects, Chen Ming decided that he must carefully select his fifth soul ring. The age of it must not be less than 50,000 years, it can only be higher and not lower.

In fact, although this is extremely excessive from the perspective of Soul Sect and Soul King, it is quite normal from the perspective of Soul Emperor and Soul Saint.

The sixth ring is less than 20,000 years old, and the seventh ring is 50,000 years old. Although it is rare in this era, it is not impossible. In the later parts, there are many soul masters with the seventh ring who absorb the 100,000-year soul ring.

In other words, Chen Ming has not encountered a real hundred thousand year soul beast yet, so he cannot guarantee where the qualitative change between a hundred thousand year soul beast and a ten thousand year soul beast lies, and whether there is anything that needs attention.

Otherwise, Chen Ming, the fifth ring, would have planned to hunt the hundred thousand year soul beast.

Looking at the four soul rings floating around him, one yellow, two purple and one black, Chen Ming closed his eyes and controlled his spirituality instinctively.

As his will gradually became stronger, Chen Ming's martial soul gradually began to feel a sense of fatigue. The fourth soul ring on his body gradually shook twice in the air, then slowly became transparent, and was finally collected by Chen Ming into his martial soul, leaving only one yellow and two purple soul rings around him.

Dugu Bo poked Chen Ming's body curiously and was very puzzled by this magical phenomenon.

"What's going on? How did you manage to collect your fourth spirit ring by yourself?"

"That is, suppress your own martial soul, and then weaken the connection between your martial soul and the world. Then, if you pay a little attention, you can put the spirit ring away."

Chen Ming's answer was as abstract as ever, filling me with thoughts. It was normal for ordinary people to be confused after hearing it. Only the high priest of the gods could understand what it meant.

However, Dugu Bo had already understood this point, and he hadn't thought about learning anything, he was just asking normal questions.

"Then if you put away your fourth spirit ring, will it have any impact on you?"

"It does have an impact, but it's not a big one." Chen Ming nodded and pointed to the three spirit rings around him: "When I put away my fourth spirit ring, I can't use my fourth spirit skill. The upper limit of my spirit power output has also been temporarily reduced to level 40. But this reduction is not mandatory."

"If I actively burst out to a level above 40, my fourth soul ring will pop out by itself, and I won't be able to hide any longer."

“Other than that, there is no impact.”

Chen Ming thought about it and added a question that was not a question.

"Oh, by the way, I can only hide spirit rings one by one. For example, if I hide the second spirit ring, then I can only hide the third spirit ring, and then hide the fourth and then the fifth. I can't just skip the third spirit ring to hide the fourth and fifth spirit rings, and so on."

"Oh, it's good that there is no impact." Although Chen Ming said a lot of words, in Dugu Bo's ears, it was reduced to the four words "no impact". "Xiao Ming, what are you going to do next?"

"Grandpa, I decided to go to the academy first and stay with Yanyan for ten days or half a month. Then I will travel around the continent to see how my future will develop. Because I may have to leave for several years, I want to accompany her first."

"Go to the academy first? That's fine. It's time to let those stubborn guys see how powerful you are."

Although Dugu Bo did not think that with Chen Ming's current combat power, there was no need for him to enter the Tiandou Royal Academy, but after thinking about his granddaughter, Dugu Bo still thought it was a good idea to do so.

The two chatted like this. After Dugu Bo's injuries recovered, he changed his clothes and casually threw the Ruyi Treasure Bag into Chen Ming's hand.

"Xiao Ming, this Ruyi Hundred Treasure Bag has been with me for decades. Half a year ago, I wanted to give it to you. But you always acted like you didn't need it. Now that your storage soul guide is broken, take this opportunity to accept the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Bag."

"You will need this when you travel the continent in the future."

Chen Ming took the Ruyi Treasure Bag, carefully put it on his waist, then looked up and asked Dugu Bo.

"Grandpa, what about you?"

Dugu Bo snorted and showed Chen Ming a bag that looked a few sizes smaller than the Ruyi Treasure Bag.

"I recently bought a spare item from the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. Although it is not as big as the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Bag, it is also a storage soul guide that can store life. For me now, it is enough."

"Pack up your things and let's go."

A few minutes later, after packing up their things, the two headed towards Tiandou Royal Academy. With their current speed, they arrived at the foot of the mountain where Tiandou Royal Academy was located after more than an hour.

After telling Chen Ming to tell him if anyone was causing trouble, Dugu Bo left Chen Ming.

During this period, he had not had time to hold the grand banquet for the Title Douluo to upgrade his level. Now that he finally had time, Dugu Bo wanted to announce to the world that there were still many things that he had to do personally.

Although the map was changed to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire just a few days after entering Tiandou Royal Academy, with Chen Ming's current mental strength, he still remembered the map of Tiandou Royal Academy clearly.

After showing his student ID in front of the guard guarding the academy at the foot of the mountain, Chen Ming walked up the mountain.

Dugu Bo said that Dugu Yan was now living in the small courtyard where he lived before. Chen Ming decided to report to Dugu Yan first, and then take a walk around the academy to change his mood before traveling around the mainland.

It was the time for classes in the academy, and most people were studying in the academy. Those who didn't like to study had already gone to Tiandou City to relax.

So along the way, Chen Ming didn't see anyone except some faculty members, and returned to his own courtyard smoothly.

The courtyard that was once violently broken into by Dugu Bo has long been restored to its original state, and there is no sign of having been damaged at all.

Chen Ming took out the key and opened the gate of the courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he found that the first rooms on both sides showed signs of being occupied.
