Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 22: The Plot in the Palace
"Chen Ming said that his poison came from an adventure, and it seems to be true. The world is so big, and there are countless adventures. Every year, many spirit masters are reborn for various reasons. Among the Titled Douluo since ancient times, there are many who encountered various adventures when they were young. I didn't expect that Tiandou Royal Academy would receive such a lucky person this year."

Bai Baoshan, who is four feet tall, spoke first, with a bit of envy in his eyes, but no other negative emotions.

"Heroes are everywhere in the world, and all kinds of things are common, but most people won't reveal them. The three of us have come to where we are today, and we have had some adventures that ordinary people would consider. But aren't we able to get to this point mostly through hard work?"

Zhilin stroked his beard and responded.

The exploration of Douluo Continent by the Douluo people is only a small part, and the soul masters' research on martial souls has also been ongoing.

When humans first awakened their martial spirits, they didn't know how to cultivate spirit power, and only geniuses with full innate spirit power could absorb spirit rings. After humans figured out how to increase spirit power, the profession of spirit master was truly born.

Ten thousand years ago, there were many soul masters with yellow spirit rings on their third and fourth rings, and it was normal to have a purple spirit ring on the fifth ring. At that time, those who could absorb a purple spirit ring on the fourth ring were all geniuses.

With the research and experiments of generations, today's soul masters know that the third soul ring can absorb the thousand-year soul ring. The fifth soul ring of a soul master with excellent talent can try to absorb the ten-thousand-year soul ring.

No one can tell how much of the progress over the past ten thousand years was due to chance encounters.

Since ancient times, there have been countless soul masters who have had adventures for various reasons. Who can become a high-level soul master without his own secrets?

There are indeed some teachers on the mainland who are jealous. Even if their students have an adventure, they are very unbalanced and want to do everything they can to transfer the student's adventure to themselves. However, the three teaching committee members of Tiandou Royal Academy are not that kind of people.

Even if we look at the entire spirit master world, the three of them can be regarded as highly respected. In the decades since they became the education committee, they have taught countless students and gained the respect of countless people. They can be said to have many students all over the world.

After learning that Chen Ming had an adventure, the first thought of the three was to protect Chen Ming so that Chen Ming could practice well and become a high-level soul master in the future.

If anyone wanted to reach out and test Chen Ming, the three of them would not mind flexing their muscles a little and breaking those hands that shouldn't be reached out.

After the three of them discussed it, they came to their own opinion on the matter of Chen Ming.

Although it was late, the three of them had no intention of resting. Instead, they took advantage of the daylight and quietly got busy in the academy.

Meng Shenji sorted out Chen Ming's information, Bai Baoshan went to the palace to meet Xue Ye, Zhilin was responsible for inspecting the situation in the academy and finishing off the work with the teachers according to the deployment.

Half an hour later, Chen Ming's information was delivered to Xue Ye's desk. Knowing that there was a special new student enrolling, Xue Ye, who was supposed to be looking for a name card in the bedroom, sat in the study and looked through Chen Ming's information with the light of the soul guide lamp excavated from the ruins.

Xue Ye gently stretched out his fingers and tapped the table, thinking about Chen Ming. Various expressions flashed in his eyes, and finally he gently placed the information in his hand on the table.

"Biluo City, Chen family... It's unbelievable that a genius could appear in such a remote place like Biluo City. But the poison is so powerful... Could it be the next Poison Douluo?"

"Genius is a genius, and adventure is an adventure. There are countless things in the world, countless geniuses in the world, and countless adventures in the world, but how many of them can enter the ranks of my Tiandou Empire... No, my royal family, my Xue family."

"In the past hundred years, there have been more than twenty people with full innate soul power, but how many of them can become Titled Douluo? I have seen many people with Titles, but which one has become... that's all."

"You have absorbed the second ring of the millennium and evolved your spirit into a king. I hope you really have the appearance of a Titled Douluo, rather than just looking like you have the appearance of a Titled Douluo."

After simulating Chen Ming's poison in his mind, Xue Ye's eyes couldn't help but become sharp.

Although Dugu Bo had never demonstrated his poison on the battlefield, Xue Ye and Xue Xing had simulated it countless times in secret, and they knew how much damage Dugu Bo's poison could theoretically do. If the role that a normal Title Douluo could play on the battlefield was equivalent to that of 10,000 fully armed elite soldiers, then the role of a Poison Douluo was at least equivalent to that of 10 Title Douluos or 200,000 elite soldiers.

The poison may not have a very good effect on high-level spirit masters, but for an army composed mostly of ordinary people, the lethality is very huge. The combat strength of Poison Douluo alone is equivalent to that of a Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

Although Dugu Bo was nominally a tribute of the Tiandou Empire and had a close relationship with Prince Xuexing, as an emperor, Xue Ye could not be completely assured of Dugu Bo.

Instead of relying on Dugu Bo, Xue Ye hopes that the Tiandou Empire can cultivate a Poison Douluo of its own.

"Eunuch Tang, send someone to keep Chen Ming's information safe, and then order the secret guards to go to Biluo City... Don't alert the enemy, don't reveal that the royal family is investigating them..."

"Yes." The old eunuch bent down and greeted Xue Ye respectfully.

"besides…"

Xue Ye narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something, and finally sighed helplessly.

"Send a copy of Chen Ming's information to Qinghe. As a prince, he should be able to understand what I mean."

Emperor Xue Ye was of course aware that Xue Qinghe might have murdered his other brothers just to ascend to the throne of crown prince. In fact, unlike other suspects, although Xue Ye did not know how Xue Qinghe did it, he was completely certain that it must be related to Xue Qinghe.

It's just that Xue Qinghe has performed very well since becoming the crown prince, and he has handled everything very well. In Xue Ye's opinion, apart from his somewhat immature personality and the fact that he would offend nobles for the sake of a mere civilian, he has no shortcomings.

Although he was not happy emotionally, Xue Ye believed rationally that Xue Qinghe would be able to surpass him easily and lead the Tiandou Empire into a very glorious era.

As for the avalanche...

Xue Ye didn't think that his spoiled child could be compared with Xue Qinghe. Although he might be a little clever, and in some ways it seemed that he was deliberately hiding his incompetence, compared with Xue Qinghe's performance, these little clevernesses were worse than nothing.

Moreover, as a prince, Xue Beng is too close to Prince Xue Xing. Rather than being a prince, he is more like the prince's child, and his love for Xue Xing is even greater than that for himself as a father.

Xue Ye was very unhappy. It was the emperor's business for him, the emperor, to be close to the prince; it was not his business for him, the prince, to be close to the prince...

Xue Ye slumped in the chair, looking at the ceiling and sighing slightly in his heart.

He trusted Xue Qinghe very much and believed that Xue Qinghe could understand what he meant as the emperor.

But he was also a little worried. The power of Prince Xue Qinghe was expanding. How should he, as the emperor, deal with it?
I am still in my prime, I can live for at least 20 years, if not 30 or 50 years. And the prince's power will be gone in another 20 years...

Xue Ye only hopes that the decision he makes today will not make him regret it tomorrow.
