Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 305: The Greatest Talent is Hard Work
He who knows the times is a hero. As an old man over a hundred years old, Shui Xuan has long known this truth.

Because he had seen too many political struggles and too many cruel wars, Shui Xuan's attitude towards the Rising Sun Empire was actually very complicated. He had both love and disgust for it, and it was very complicated in general.

Shui Xuan felt that this was not right, and that this continent was not right. However, his thinking and the education he received prevented him from explaining clearly what was wrong with this continent, so he never said anything more.

But no matter what, Shui Xuan felt that what he had paid for the Rising Sun Empire was more than enough to offset what the Rising Sun Empire had paid for him. He had spent almost his entire life doing all kinds of things for the Rising Sun Empire, and it was normal for him to have other options when he was about to die of old age.

If you ask him to sell out his country, he might refuse, even if the price is his own death. After all, he has to consider not only himself, but also his family. But if you ask him to develop in another continent, Shui Xuan will naturally have no objection.

"Douluo Continent? It is said that it is a holy land for soul masters, and powerful soul masters abound. I never thought that I would encounter such an opportunity when I am about to die of old age."

Shui Xuan sighed, and then asked a question casually.

"My Lord, are there many Soul Douluo-level Soul Masters on Douluo Continent? Or does Douluo Continent also have the legendary Titled Douluo? Perhaps it is not like in our Sun Moon Continent where only one appears every hundreds of years. Douluo Continent will have a powerful Titled Douluo in every generation?"

Well, Shui Xuan has tried his best to imagine the power of Douluo Continent, but his ideas are still a bit too conservative.

"Title Douluo? How should I put it? In the current era of Douluo Continent, there are probably about 20 ordinary Title Douluos. There are more than 10 Super Douluos and two Peerless Douluos, all of whom are at the level of Demigods."

"I don't really care about Soul Douluo, but if you count the entire continent, there are definitely around a hundred of them. Although most of them are probably level 81 or 82. I'm too lazy to count the Soul Saints, but they're in the three digits."

What Chen Ming said were all the data on the surface. Except for the fact that Tang Chen was included in the Peerless Douluo, the rest were news that could be heard by asking around on the mainland.

As a result, after hearing this information, Shui Xuan, who had originally looked relieved, almost fainted.

"Master, Master, Master, Master, you said that there are so many powerful people in Douluo Continent?"

Shui Xuan tried his best to imagine, but he was totally unable to understand.

"There are three digits of Soul Douluo, around 20 Titled Douluo, more than 10 Super Douluo, and two demigods. What? You don't believe it? Actually, if you compare, there are seven major sects in Douluo Continent, and each sect inherits top-level martial spirits, which would be martial spirits like the sun and the moon in Sun Moon Continent."

"And each of the seven major sects has multiple Soul Douluos, and the three sects known as the top three either have more than one Titled Douluo, or have Super Douluos with super martial spirits. The one that was once known as the world's number one sect even had a peerless Douluo."

"If the seven major sects were placed in the Sun Moon Continent, the lower four sects would be able to establish their own territory on the Sun Moon Continent. The Diamond Mammoth, which is extremely good at battlefield combat, might be able to unify the continent. The upper three sects are truly capable of unifying the continent with their own power."

When Chen Ming was in Wuhun City, he also observed the martial spirits of the lower four sects. It turned out that although they were the lower four sects, the quality of their martial spirits was absolutely top-notch. The Diamond Mammoth of the Elephant Armor Sect was even stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex in terms of physical strength. The only thing they lacked in terms of attributes was the real super martial spirit.

In short, given the level of the following four sects, it is normal for a Titled Douluo to appear at any time. It is even a bit abnormal that the following four sects do not have a Titled Douluo.

"In short, there is actually a huge gap in combat power between the two continents. Whether it is martial spirits, spirit beasts, or spirit master resources, the Sun-Moon Continent is one level lower than the Douluo Continent. But the metal resources are indeed not as good as the Sun-Moon Continent, so such a spirit master system has not been developed. The spirit masters of our Douluo Continent died halfway."

"Because the soul masters of you Sun Moon Continent have the habit of taking drugs, and mainly because the drugs you take are too low quality, there are too many toxins accumulated in your bodies, and your soul power is too weak. Coupled with the difference in soul ring configuration and martial soul, basically the high-level soul masters of Douluo Continent can fight one level higher."

Hearing this, Shui Xuan's old face froze for a moment, then he forced a smile. "My Lord, do you think I have the potential to become a Titled Douluo?"

"What's your innate soul power level?"

"Innate soul power level eight! The highest in our family in the past hundred years."

"With an innate soul power of level eight and a high-level martial soul, it is possible to become a Titled Douluo in Douluo Continent, but the final result is likely to be a high-level soul Douluo. It is still difficult to become a Titled Douluo without some opportunities. And with your aging level and soul ring configuration, basically you will be lucky if your soul power level does not drop in the future."

"But." Chen Ming patted Shui Xuan's shoulder.

"But there are exceptions to everything. As a demigod, I have all the means to increase lifespan, improve innate soul power, enhance the quality of martial souls, or upgrade Soul Douluo to Titled Douluo. Although it's not that easy, if you work hard in the future, it's not impossible for you to become a Titled Douluo."

"I used to have a subordinate who was over 70 years old and had a soul power level of 74. He was an ordinary soul saint with a high-level martial soul. Because of his outstanding ability, I equipped him with a set of top-quality ten thousand year soul bones, which directly upgraded him to a quasi soul douluo. Then I hunted a fifty thousand year super soul beast for him and made him an eighth ring."

"He is now level 85, and his martial spirit has been upgraded to the top level. It will be a piece of cake for him to become a Titled Douluo in the future, and it won't be a problem for him to become a Super Douluo."

"Of course, this Super Douluo thing mainly relies on one's comprehension, otherwise it is normal for it to be stuck at level 94."

"My subordinate is a blacksmith. He was trained because he was particularly talented in forging. He has no talent in fighting. But in my eyes, an excellent technician is much more useful than a simple strong man. I know the importance of technology and knowledge."

"We are all technicians, and I think you have the potential. I see that you don't even have a single soul bone. If you work hard in the future, it won't be a dream to have a full set of ten thousand year soul bones. After all, although soul bones are indeed precious, I am a demigod after all. If I really want soul bones, there are many ways to do it."

“My greatest talent is hard work!”

Shui Xuan pounded his shrunken chest, mustered up his most energy in decades, and assured Chen Ming. His faith in Chen Ming also rose from a believer to a devout believer.

Centenarians also have dreams, okay!
"Take care of the things you need to prepare, and then I will take you away. When you arrive at Douluo Continent, you will understand whether what I said is true or false."

"Master, please move to my private room. I will go and deal with the family's problems. I, Shui Xuanbi, will not let you down."

"Please give me some time to transfer the soul master who is guarding me away."

Just when Shui Xuan was trying to find a way to get the soul masters guarding outside the yard to leave temporarily so that he could take the two back to the room, he saw Chen Ming waving his hand.

“I have already controlled those Soul Kings, Soul Emperors, Soul Saints, and the like with my mental power. They can see whatever I want them to see, and they cannot see whatever I don’t want them to see. You don’t need to care about the two of us at all. They can’t sense us.”

"Ah? Soul Saint? Could it be the royal family?" Shui Xuan was about to say something, but when he looked at Chen Ming shrouded in a black robe, he swallowed his words again, clasped his fist towards Chen Ming, and then made a serious assurance.

"Ahem. I obey your orders."
