Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor

Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [283]

Since Ning Fengzhi made his choice, Chen Ming decided to respect it. However, the price for upgrading the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda in the future would naturally increase by a level. After all, people must pay the price for their choices, right?

That being said, Chen Ming needed to be careful for the time being to ensure that Ning Rongrong didn't run off to Shrek Academy again. After all, apart from Tang San and Xiao Wu, the two exceptions, Ning Rongrong had the most significant background among the students in Shrek Academy. Although Dai Mubai was a prince, under the rules of the Star Luo Empire, a runaway prince was considered less valuable than a dog.

With the Immortal Herbs already taken, Dai Mubai had no qualifications to compete with his elder brother for the throne. Furthermore, Chen Ming had previously left some small gifts for the Shrek group. Under such circumstances, if they could still use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, it would practically require the Asura God himself to intervene and distort reality.

Above all, Chen Ming could not allow Tang San to establish a connection with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan. If that clan were to become an extension of Tang San, his growth rate would undoubtedly become a significant threat.

In the following days, Chen Ming discussed and handled some matters with the worshippers of the Worship Hall and Qian Daoliu. Afterward, he paid a visit to Dai Weisi, the Crown Prince of the Star Lou Empire.

Although Chen Ming's reputation was primarily known in the Heaven Dou Empire, Dai Weisi still received him. After all, Dai Weisi was aware of Chen Ming's status as the son-in-law of Poison Douluo. While Chen Ming rarely took action, his displayed talent far exceeded that of ordinary geniuses. Moreover, Chen Ming's family had once helped the Star Luo Empire deal with a plague caused by a natural disaster centuries ago, earning the empire's favor. Dai Weisi, as the crown prince, was well aware of these details.

Their conversation was brief and polite. Chen Ming noticed that, although Dai Weisi was arrogant, his abilities were sufficient to match his demeanor. His pride came across as confidence rather than mere conceit.

When Dai Weisi attempted to recruit Chen Ming, the latter naturally refused. Dai Weisi wasn't offended, as it was merely a formality. After all, there would be plenty of time in the future for further interactions. Their first meeting was simply a chance to get acquainted.

Meanwhile, in Spirit City, the ongoing conflict between the Spirit Hall and the Star Dou Forest attracted many people. Most of the high-level combatants on the Douluo Continent had gathered in this small city. Among the Seven Great Sects, only the Clear Sky Sect had been subdued by Qian Daoliu's earlier lessons and had obediently stayed on Clear Sky Peak. The other six sects had sent their leaders and elders to convene here.

While wandering around Spirit City for several days, Chen Ming encountered many unique martial souls. Although spiritual, temporal, and spatial martial souls were rare on the Douluo Continent, this particular period brought several examples that caught Chen Ming's interest.

However, since he wasn't acquainted with their owners, Chen Ming could only observe them from afar with his Spiritual Eye instead of directly probing the nature of their martial souls.

While
