Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 327: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

Under the circumstances where Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu still wanted to attack, Chen Ming waved his hand, signaling the two to stop. Then, he reached out and pressed on the pendant, injecting soul power to manually deactivate the defensive barrier.

"This is a top-grade Level 3 Soul Tool. It can withstand the attacks of a Soul Elder for a while or briefly endure a few seconds of a Soul King's attack. However, the price is a significant consumption of soul power. If the soul shield is forcibly broken, it may cause damage to the core of the Soul Tool. At best, the lifespan of the Soul Tool will be shortened; at worst, the Soul Tool will be destroyed."

"Just testing it is fine. Forcing it to operate multiple times in a short period will affect the lifespan of the Soul Tool."

"Is that so?" Hearing about these limitations, Ning Rongrong nodded in understanding.

After all, if this kind of soul-shielding tool had no restrictions and could continuously block attacks as long as there was soul power, Ning Rongrong would have been genuinely suspicious.

The high consumption of soul power and the inability to use it repeatedly seemed entirely reasonable to Ning Rongrong.

Chen Ming handed the soul shield to Ning Rongrong, who patted her chest in gratitude toward Chen Ming. After playing with it for a moment, she stuffed it into Little Wu's hands. Before Little Wu could refuse, Ning Rongrong quickly used the excuse of her insufficient soul power to activate it and hung the pendant-like Soul Tool around Little Wu's neck. This left Little Wu deeply moved, bowing repeatedly to both Ning Rongrong and Chen Ming.

After being excited for quite some time, Ning Rongrong's thoughts finally calmed down. Looking at the Soul Ray Gun in her hands and the soul shield on Little Wu, she suddenly realized something she had previously overlooked.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had the innate ability to identify the origins of ores, which was a talent unique to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile lineage. Though it was mainly used for gems, it also worked quite well for identifying metals.

Ning Rongrong hadn't carefully examined it earlier, but now, as she carefully touched the Soul Ray Gun, she realized the Soul Tool seemed... too new.

Though there was nothing wrong with its appearance, Ning Rongrong's innate abilities as part of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect allowed her to sense that the metals used to construct this Soul Tool had only been refined and forged recently.

She didn't know the specifics, as this had nothing to do with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's abilities. However, she could feel with certainty that this Soul Tool had been created in the past few years. It completely lacked the aged and timeworn aura that Soul Tools excavated from ancient ruins should have.

Ning Rongrong's hands trembled slightly as she held the Soul Ray Gun and looked up at Chen Ming.

"Brother Chen Ming, you said this Soul Tool is Level 3? I don't know much about Soul Tools. Can you explain the levels to me? As far as I know, all Soul Tools on the continent are excavated from ancient ruins. People on the continent know very little about Soul Tools, and I've never heard of any classification system for them."

Chen Ming had deliberately brought out the Soul Tool to attract the interest of Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi.

After all, Chen Ming had a clear understanding of Tang San's rise in the original story. First, it was Dugu Bo's initial investment, followed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's support. By evolving Ning Rongrong's martial soul and introducing hidden weapons—tools that greatly enhanced the capabilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's support-type Soul Masters—Tang San gained Ning Fengzhi's favor.

In the original story, Tang San had Ning Fengzhi provide manpower to craft the parts, while he assembled them himself and sold them back to Ning Fengzhi. This earned him considerable wealth and brought him into Ning Fengzhi's inner circle. This eventually led to his encounter with Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe.

Later, during the Spirit Hall's failed attempt to overthrow the empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was nearly wiped out in a surprise attack but managed to preserve some survivors. Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi ultimately aligned themselves with Tang San. The initial catalyst for this alliance was the evolution of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and Tang San's hidden weapons. As their relationship with Tang San deepened, the story unfolded as it did.

From the perspective of fate, Tang San, as the Child of Rebellion, essentially assimilated the immensely lucky Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as a subsidiary tumor. This not only boosted his fortune but also provided him with ample resources. However, this also dragged the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into danger, resulting in its near destruction by the Spirit Hall.

Yet, as the Child of Rebellion, Tang San was unlikely to face significant harm before his subsidiary tumors were nearly eradicated. Even if something did happen to him, these allies would take the hit first.

From a certain perspective, when Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo sacrificed themselves to retrieve Tang San's body and resurrect him, it symbolized Tang San completely draining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's resources.

Therefore, to prevent Tang San's growth from being overly advantageous, Chen Ming was determined not to let Tang San associate with such a fortunate force. He couldn't allow Tang San to gain countless shields to protect him.

"Soul Tools are a type of technology born from the development of Soul Masters. They are classified into nine levels, corresponding to Soul Masters up to Titled Douluo. Most Soul Tools on the continent are storage types, which, if categorized by technology, are roughly between Level 2 and Level 3."

"Those Soul Tools with exceptionally large storage spaces aren't necessarily advanced in technology but are made from special materials. Some metals and gems naturally possess spatial attributes, so Soul Engineers only need to make minor adjustments to create storage Soul Tools with significant capacity."

"As for the classification and levels of Soul Tools, I learned about them from the inheritance of a Soul Tool I obtained. That inheritance contained a lot of basic knowledge and techniques about Soul Tools, which is how I became a Soul Engineer."

"To be honest, this Soul Ray Gun and the defensive shield are creations I made recently."

At this point, Chen Ming sighed, looking regretful.

"I originally thought these tools would be very helpful for support-type Soul Masters. When I first acquired some basic Soul Tool technology, I wanted to meet Uncle Ning and share what I had learned with him. Since I have a good relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I hoped to help solve some of their problems."

"But unfortunately, Uncle Ning was busy, so I didn't disturb him. Later, most of the books documenting the Soul Tool techniques were burned in an accident. What remains is incomplete and unstructured."

"I didn't bother recording the advanced knowledge in the beginning, so now... sigh, I can only make these tools for lower-level Soul Masters."

"These Soul Tools are for you, Rongrong. Just don't spread the word too much. I've come to realize that, for Soul Masters, true power comes from within. Soul Tools are just external aids. I don't plan to continue studying them in the future. These two items are of no use to me, so consider them a gift."
