Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 4: Gambling Monster? Poison Monster!
Feeling the looks from the people around him, Chen Ming felt both excited and helpless.

Yes, he is not a native of Douluo World, but a traveler from a certain blue planet.

Before he traveled through time, he was a failed novelist who barely supported himself with his royalties. His only special skill or trait was his special sixth sense.

From childhood to adulthood, he relied on his sixth sense to avoid several truck collisions and gas explosions, as well as more than ten electric leakages caused by various reasons. He also avoided countless other disasters such as slipping or falling flower pots from the sky. He was known as the King of Endurance.

But how to say it…A person can beat an accident many times, but it is enough for an accident to beat the person once.

He was cleaning the house on a whim. When he was squatting to clean the corner under the bookshelf that the vacuum cleaner couldn't reach, the ground suddenly shook, and before he could react, the bookshelf fell heavily on him.

It was a two-meter-high solid wood floor-standing bookshelf, filled with various books, as well as some chess pieces and peripherals as decorations. You can imagine how heavy it was.

Just like that, Chen Ming was reborn and came to Douluo Continent. It was not known whether it was fate or not, but he was still called Chen Ming in this life.

At the beginning, Chen Ming only knew that he had come to a fantasy world. Then, as he learned to speak and write, he gradually realized that he had traveled to the Douluo Continent, the so-called fantasy sewer world he had talked about in his previous life. Moreover, there was the Spirit Hall on the continent, and he had never heard of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect.

In fact, Chen Ming was not really...disappointed about traveling to Douluo Continent, a world where power was a mystery.

He had played Baldur's Gate 3 and the Warhammer series of games, and had signed a "sale contract". Although it was just a joke from the production team, if it worked, he would not come to Douluo Continent after his death, but would be reincarnated into the world of Baldur's Gate or the cesspool of the Warhammer world.

And the decorations on his bookshelf include chess pieces from Baldur's Gate and Warhammer...

In comparison, Douluo Continent is actually pretty good, isn’t it?

When he was two years old, his parents in this life passed away accidentally while hunting a soul beast.

When he was three years old, learned to speak and read, could run and jump, and began to prepare to understand the world and think about making a fortune, news came from the mainland that the Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji was killed by a surprise attack by Haotian Sect's Tang Hao. Only then did he realize that he was only three years older than Bie Da in this life.

The name of the beggar is not for nothing. Although Tang San in Douluo Continent I is not as cruel and unscrupulous as Tang San in Douluo Continent II, he is not a good person either, and his influence on Douluo Continent is purely negative.

If I don't become stronger before the mainland gets into chaos, then when the chaos comes, I will have no choice. Rather than being forced to make a choice with a knife, and then regretting it for the rest of my life, it is better to practice, pick up the knife myself, and do my best to make sure I don't regret it for the rest of my life.

Whether following the Shrek Seven Devils or going against them, Chen Ming wanted to make sure that he had the ability to make the choice he wanted.

He maintained a good work and rest habit every day, taking multiple sleeps every day, keeping enough rest time for his body to grow while getting more exercise time. He was never picky about food, even if it was unpalatable medicinal food, medicinal paste, or various half-dead insects, he would force himself to eat it. He exercised every day regardless of the weather, and asked his family to tell him all kinds of intelligence on the mainland before going to bed at night.

After knowing that his martial soul had a congenital problem, he even asked his family to build a nest for him in the scorpion cave. He would live in the scorpion cave every once in a while, eating and living with the scorpions while observing their lives, just to achieve the so-called mimicry as much as possible.

Over the years, he has observed the lives of scorpions and almost created a set of scorpion fists from scratch. Even the brainless scorpions in the scorpion cave are familiar with Chen Ming, a large fellow who walks on two legs. He does not know any internal skills such as Xuantian Gong, but he tries his best to exercise without causing permanent damage, which has created a taller, more muscular and explosive body than his peers.

But despite trying his best, his innate soul power is still only level five...

How to say it, it’s not like he hadn’t thought about this possibility before, but deep down Chen Ming still hoped that he could be born with full soul power or twin martial souls.

Just as he was thinking in his heart about what to do in the future, the thin man who had used the beads to detoxify other people put away the beads in his hand, took two steps at a time to come to Chen Ming, and reached out to wipe the scorpion tail that was shaking unconsciously behind Chen Ming.

"Uncle, be careful!"

Although he had just awakened his martial soul and did not know how high the quality of his martial soul was, Chen Ming had been in contact with the family heirloom emerald scorpion martial soul and various poisons at home. He could feel that his poison was not ordinary. Seeing his second uncle touching the scorpion tail on his back without knowing the consequences, he suddenly became anxious.

"I'm not dead. I'm a Soul Sect after all, so I won't die..."

The man whom Chen Ming called second uncle was laughing, but his face suddenly turned green and his body shook slightly.

As a veteran poison soul master, the man reacted very quickly. In just a breath, he released his martial soul, and four soul rings, two yellow and two purple, responded around him.

With the release of the Emerald Scorpion Martial Spirit and the surge of soul power, the green color on the man's face finally faded, but his complexion still did not look very good.

The second in command of the Chen family was poisoned by touching his nephew's martial spirit because of his impulsiveness. Isn't this quite embarrassing?

"Ahem, Xiao Ming is a genius..." The man coughed twice and said awkwardly. Some people watching the fun wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh.

The soul master with the highest soul power level in the city is Bishop Yan Jun of the Wuhun Hall, a level 67 control soul emperor. The second is the current head of the Chen family, a level 54 control soul king.

Poison was not very effective at the Title Douluo stage, but before reaching Soul Saint, it was something that could challenge opponents of higher levels. Even in the history of the continent, there were many high-level soul masters who were killed by low-level poison soul masters because of carelessness.

Not to mention that Yan Jun is dying now, even if he was 67 years younger, with his level soul power, he would not be able to gain any advantage over the head of the Chen family. After all, the Chen family's emerald scorpion is known to be poisonous. Let alone scratching it, a soul master of the same level would lose half his life if he touched it.

Not to mention a human being, even an ordinary ten thousand year soul beast can be poisoned into a puddle of water.

Therefore, in Biluo City, even though the Chen family is small and about to die out, they are still the third in name and the first in reality. Even if the whole city wants to take a piece of meat from the Chen family, no one dares to do it.
