Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 5: Gold Finger. Maybe?

"Now that you have awakened your martial spirit, get out of the way."

Looking at the uncle and nephew who were playing funny there, Yan Jun's face was not so good, but he didn't want to say it too seriously, so he could only cough twice and then remind them.

He is about to retire and doesn't want to care about anything. He doesn't ask for anything good to happen now, but just hopes that when bad things happen around him, he won't be covered in blood.

"Yes, senior, we will get out of the way now."

Chen Ming's second uncle clasped his fists respectfully and bowed to Yan Jun, then grabbed Chen Ming's shoulders, lifted him up and put him aside.

The rule of Biluo City is that no matter what you awaken, whether you have no soul power or awaken the family martial spirit of the Wang family next door, you have to wait here until the awakening ceremony is over before going home to settle. This is a rule that has been in place for hundreds of years, and the Chen family is not in a good position to interrupt it. Even if they have something on their mind, they can only wait on the side.

After Chen Ming was taken aside, the audience standing nearby all took a step back silently. Biluo City was full of poisonous creatures, and basically any living person with a normal brain would know to avoid danger when necessary, instead of rushing in at any time.

People can't teach people, but things can teach people once. In this place, curious people either give up their curiosity or give up their lives. People who love to kill themselves don't live long.

Didn’t you see that level 40 Soul Sect master got his face turned blue due to the poison accidentally? If you were to get poisoned accidentally, you would be really unlucky.

After all, even if the poison can be detoxified, it would be a waste of suffering.

Wait and see, wait and see first, move away from it first and then watch carefully.

Looking at his nephew's tail swinging back and forth behind him, the thin man coughed twice, made a virtual grabbing motion on his chest, and then pressed down again.

"Concentrate your mind and feel your heartbeat. Feel the power flowing through your body like blood with every breath and heartbeat. That is soul power. Then imagine yourself relaxing and sinking into a soft bed. Feel the extra weight on your chest, and then put it back into your body."

Soul Master families teach their children about the perception of soul power in more detail than the introduction of awakened soul masters in the Spirit Hall, but this statement also has a bit of metaphysical meaning. The extra weight on the chest is too abstract for children with average intelligence. Sometimes thinking too much will cause the soul power to be unable to be retracted for a long time.

Fortunately, Chen Ming was an adult with mature thinking ability in his previous life. After thinking for a while, Chen Ming got into the state.

The process of retrieving his martial soul and soul power went smoothly, but during this period, Chen Ming seemed to feel something strange.

It is a force that seems abstract and cannot be simply described in words, but it is everywhere and can be accessed by anyone at any time.

It is extremely familiar, but cannot be described with any specific language or thinking.

If I have to describe it...it's probably some kind of spiritual or conceptual power?
Do all the spirit masters in Douluo Continent feel this way when releasing and retracting their spirits? Or am I a special case, because I am a time traveler and have special qualities in my soul? Or do I actually have some golden fingers that I have never discovered?

Chen Ming thought silently in his heart, then stretched out his right hand and touched his left arm exposed outside his clothes. Although the skin was slightly tough and the muscles were bulging, it was not much different from before the martial spirit awakened. It was not as exaggerated as it was after the martial spirit possessed him just now, and there was no trace of the shell. Because his body had swelled up after the martial spirit possessed him just now, and a layer of shell appeared on his arms, Chen Ming's clothes were a little tattered at the moment, and his arms were exposed to the air.

In fact, soul master families have all considered the problem of clothes bursting due to changes in their children's body shape after awakening their martial souls. The clothes on Chen Ming also have good stretchability, but unfortunately, not only did Chen Ming's body shape suddenly increase, but there was also a layer of obviously corrosive toxins on the surface of his body, which directly destroyed the material of the clothes, which led to his somewhat embarrassed state.

But Chen Ming didn't care about this. He was just a little embarrassed now, not running naked. If he could get a higher quality spirit at the cost of being embarrassed during the spirit awakening, then I'm afraid everyone on Douluo Continent would choose to run naked during this ceremony.

The ceremony continued, but no children of note appeared afterwards.

At the awakening ceremony this year, the child who awakened the highest level of soul power was Chen Ming, with an innate soul power of level 5. Among the fifteen children, only one had no soul power, but most people's soul power was around level 2 or 3. The second highest child's soul power was only level 4, and his martial soul was still an ordinary venomous snake, which was not considered strong.

After the ceremony was completed, Chen Ming's second uncle immediately picked up Chen Ming, then used his soul power and ran towards the Chen family without caring about the opinions of the people around him.

A few hundred meters away from home, a powerful soul power surged out from the direction of the Chen family, and a sturdy old man came up aggressively.

"Are there pursuers behind us? I want to see who is so bold as to dare to start a war in front of my Chen family?!"

The gloomy soul power enveloped the old man's body. Behind the old figure, one seemed to be able to faintly see the shadow of an emerald green poisonous scorpion. Two yellow, two purple and one black soul rings with the best ratio were on his body. The old man's hawk-like eyes swept across the seemingly peaceful street, and his tone was as cold as the wind in deep winter.

"Dad, the fact that there are no pursuers is another matter. Let's go home first."

Seeing his father like this, Chen Ming's second uncle didn't know that the other party mistakenly thought that he was running so fast because he was being chased by someone.

Looking at the ground corroded by the opponent's escaped soul power, he knew without thinking how angry the old man was. If he didn't explain, he would probably be hung on the beam and spanked when he returned.

“Really? It’s been a long time since I got into trouble and was chased in the city…” The middle-aged man curled his lips and said in a low voice.

"You kid, you better be okay..."

Hearing that there were no pursuers, the old man's rising momentum froze slightly. Feeling Chen Ming's gaze, his face became a little embarrassed for a moment. He could only snort coldly, waved his sleeves, and turned away.

He actually knew that although his second son was a little naughty, he would not make any major mistakes. If he said something was wrong, it must be wrong. But it was still somewhat embarrassing for the old man to make such a mistake in front of his only grandson.

Fortunately, because Chen Ming's second uncle tried his best to take Chen Ming back to the Chen family, the people from other forces did not go back to report, and there were not many people following at the door of the Chen family. The original vendors and pedestrians had long been scared away by the momentum of the two men, so not many people saw this scene.
