Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 3: Innate Soul Power Level Five?

How should I put it, this is the trend in Biluo City. There are not many poison soul masters in Douluo Continent, but there are few who are not poison soul masters in Biluo City.

If you eat in this place, there is a high probability that there will be some poisonous things in the food. Either it was added by someone, or it got in by itself. There are almost no rats in the huge city, because there are too many snakes in this damn place.

The main source of protein for the civilians in this area is the spicy snacks that are brought into the houses. Anyone who can't catch a snake with bare hands without getting hurt is not eligible to find a partner. Children aged four or five fight insects, and the insects they fight are all poisonous insects such as scorpions and centipedes.

In Biluo City, even the water sources are somewhat poisonous. There have even been cases where a water-based spirit master trained in the water sources near Biluo City and poisoned himself to death.

The reason why Biluo City is close to a large gathering place of poisonous spirit beasts but is still half dead is because of the harsh living environment. Nine out of ten spirit masters here are good at poison, and the remaining ones are most likely to have poison resistance. Spirit masters from other places will either become extinct or evolve to be poisonous or poison-resistant after a few generations here.

This place treats toxins, and the main idea is to fight poison with poison. If you can survive, you live, otherwise you die. Survival of the fittest. There are no bandits around the city. After all, even the city is full of poisons, and there is no soil for bandits to survive in the surrounding mountains and forests. A blade of grass in the mountains may turn into a poisonous soul beast under the pollution of the poison and jump up to attack people.

Here, being killed by Wheat is a low-probability event, but it is by no means impossible.

Not to mention the Tiandou Empire, in the entire Douluo Continent, Biluo City is famous for its tough folks. Even when the continent was in turmoil, no one would dare to risk their lives to attack this damn place, Biluo City.

After the fragrance lingered for a while, the children calmed down, but their faces looked a little tired and their bodies were weak.

Although this scent can knock down an average adult male, this is Biluo City after all, and children have good resistance to poison. Moreover, these are all children from soul master families, and the martial spirits they inherit are either poisonous or anti-poisonous, so there won't be overly fragile children...

In other words, in this place where you can find a toxin every three steps and a poison every ten steps, the most vulnerable children will not live to the age of six.

Seeing their own children being pulled up, most of the adults who were watching the fun on the sidelines were too lazy to do anything and instead focused their attention on Chen Ming.

The Chen family has been in Biluo City for more than 500 years, and their family martial spirit, the Emerald Scorpion, is well-known in the city.

This kind of martial soul and the corresponding soul beast have many names, and besides the Emerald Scorpion, the most well-known name is the Green Phosphorus Scorpion.

This martial spirit, along with the Green-Scaled Snake, Green-Scaled Centipede, Green-Scaled Gecko, and Green-Scaled Toad, is collectively known as the Green Phosphorus Five Poisons, and is recognized as a highly poisonous creature in the world. Its toxicity kills instantly, and its close-range attack and defense capabilities are also first-rate. Even if you look at the Douluo Continent, it can be considered a superior martial spirit.

Perhaps because they have spent too much time in Biluo City, a place full of poisons, the Chen family's Emerald Scorpion is not only more poisonous than other Emerald Scorpion spirits on Douluo Continent, but it is also more bizarre and changeable, making it difficult to prevent and even difficult to target.

The quality of his martial spirit is unmatched in the entire Biluo City.

There are three major forces in Biluo City. One is the City Lord's Mansion, because they represent the official face of the Tiandou Empire. The second is the Wuhun Hall in the city. The name of the Holy Land of Soul Masters is a golden signboard for thousands of years. The third is the Chen family, because this family is really good at fighting.

Just because their ancestors had lived together for hundreds of years, these people also knew that the Chen family's martial spirit had a fatal flaw for a soul master family. At this moment, what these people cared about was whether Chen Ming had inherited this flaw.

"Try your soul power. Be careful not to break the crystal ball. Your strength is not at the same level as before." Yan Jun handed the crystal ball to Chen Ming and his eyes were focused on the crystal ball.

Having stayed in Biluo City for decades, he knew exactly what each family's martial spirit was like. He also naturally understood the flaws in the Chen family's inheritance.

Chen Ming is in this condition, so it is impossible that he is without soul power, but the level of his soul power is a big problem.

Chen Ming bit his lip and reached out to take the crystal ball. With the infusion of soul power, the crystal ball gradually lit up. The light was not strong, but it attracted everyone's attention.

"Innate soul power, level five?"

Looking at the light of the crystal ball, Yan Jun was full of surprise, and his eyes, which were originally narrowed into a slit, couldn't help but open.

Level 5, a relatively high level for an average spirit master, but not too high. Yan Jun was also level 5 back then, and there have been several people who have awakened to level 5 and above over the years. But the problem is that Chen Ming's level 5 is different.

Generally speaking, the higher the quality of the martial soul, the higher the level of innate soul power should be. High-quality martial souls rarely have low-level soul power, but the Chen family's Emerald Scorpion is one of those rare ones.

The Emerald Scorpion martial soul of this family is of extremely high quality. From the attribute point of view, it can be regarded as a top-level martial soul. However, the problem is that it has a big problem with its innate soul power.

The martial souls awakened by this family are basically around level two or three, and level four innate soul power is extremely rare. In the past hundred years, more and more members of this family have been unable to awaken their soul power, and most of them cannot even become soul masters.

A family that has been in Biluo City for five hundred years now has no more than ten soul masters, and nearly half of them are married from outside. There are only a few with the Emerald Scorpion spirit.

The Jade Scorpion's martial spirit is of high quality, so it is easy to pass on to future generations, but it has defects, and the future generations are likely to have no innate spirit power, causing the Jade Scorpion to become an ordinary scorpion with relatively high toxicity. This is an almost unsolvable vicious cycle for the spirit master family. Other families in the city did not even dare to marry into the Chen family, for fear of introducing the Chen family's bloodline, causing their own descendants to not be able to awaken their innate spirit power.

More than five hundred years ago, when Biluo City was just built in that haunted place called Biluo Gorge, the first city lord was from the Chen family. The entire Biluo City was almost the private land of the Chen family. Later, because of his low innate soul power, he retired from the position of city lord and then gradually declined.

In recent decades, other families in Biluo City have been discussing that within a hundred years, the Chen family will probably completely withdraw from the ranks of soul masters because they cannot awaken a child with innate soul power, and in the end they may not even be able to retain their noble titles.

Chen Ming's martial soul and innate soul power were obviously different from those of ordinary emerald scorpions, which made the people watching on the side suspicious.

Did the Chen family get lucky, and when their martial spirit was about to die, a benign mutation occurred. Not only did the quality improve, but the ancestral low spirit power problem was also solved?

Regardless of other factors, in a small place like Biluo City, a level 5 innate spirit power is also a genius level. With such a person, the Chen family can at least hold on for a few more decades. If they can hold on and the spirit problem is really solved, then Biluo City will really change.
