Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 346: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

This cultivation technique has no problems; it's completely normal. After all, a Child of Rebellion has the characteristics of fortune and misfortune going hand in hand. After encountering a misfortune, they are likely to gain a new opportunity. Therefore, even if you want to make a move, the bait must always be a fifty-fifty mix of good and bad.

The only issue with this technique lies in its conversion efficiency, which is just a tiny bit low.

Just like when gifting a soul bone, Chen Ming found a notorious villain, controlled his thoughts, and made him pretend that the treasure was excavated from ancient ruins. Then, he had the villain sell it to Flender.

Flender bought this ancient secret technique for ten gold soul coins and handed it over to his good friend Yu Xiaogang, who then passed it on to Tang San.

Faced with the cultivation technique that Chen Ming had crafted, Yu Xiaogang's expression was bizarre. He couldn't believe that the world could have such a predecessor. Driven by his pride and arrogance, Yu Xiaogang began using all his knowledge to modify the secret technique, which had been specifically designed by Chen Ming for Tang San's external soul bone.

After Yu Xiaogang's modifications, the efficiency of the conversion did indeed improve, but the stability dropped significantly. In other words, using the modified technique could enhance vitality and soul power while increasing the years of the soul bone. However, the quality of growth would decrease, and the higher the years of the soul bone increased, the less stable it would become.

This was truly fascinating. Even from Chen Ming's perspective, this technique was like taking the sugar out of bait and replacing it with an equal amount of feces. Most people wouldn't even think of tasting it, let alone keeping it.

Yet, perhaps due to some underlying logic, or maybe because Yu Xiaogang genuinely believed he was doing it for Tang San's benefit—or because Tang San trusted Yu Xiaogang—the technique did not cause any accidents for Tang San. It even slowed down his cultivation progress.

At this moment, Chen Ming looked at Yu Xiaogang as if he were a treasure.

Perhaps in the future, Chen Ming could indirectly guide Yu Xiaogang by giving him enhanced materials, causing Tang San to waste even more time and energy.

Of course, while keeping an eye on Tang San's situation, Chen Ming wasn't idle.

During this time, not only did he confirm the movements of the four single-attribute clans under the Clear Sky Sect, but he also persuaded the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy team (fighting under the alias "Emperor Team" in arenas throughout the Heaven Dou Empire) to return to the academy.

In the original story, the team captain was Yu Tianheng, and the vice-captain was Dugu Yan. However, due to Chen Ming's interference, the composition of the Emperor Team changed drastically.

Yu Tianheng had been transferred to Blue Tyrant Academy and was essentially abandoned by his family. Meanwhile, Dugu Yan had already become a Soul King—a highly exceptional one at that—so she couldn't fight with the team to build rapport. Instead, she and Qin Ming acted as mentors to the team.

Chen Ming personally persuaded Dugu Yan and, together with her, used the recent chaos on the continent as a reason to convince Qin Ming. Despite Qin Ming's desire to return to Shrek Academy for a visit, he was ultimately persuaded by the two and led the team back to the academy.

This further widened the gap between Shrek Academy and the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

Of course, Chen Ming believed that the God of Asura would never give up the opportunity to have the Child of Rebellion stir up trouble and seize fortune on this grand stage. No matter what, even if forced by deus ex machina, Tang San would undoubtedly ascend to that stage.

But all Chen Ming needed to do was delay and endlessly postpone this outcome, reducing its eventual impact to the lowest possible level.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were diligently cultivating at Shrek Academy, while Tang Hao was suppressing the chaos within his body nearby. After confirming that these people would not leave casually, Chen Ming flew back to Dugu Bo's residence in Heaven Dou City. There, he spent some rare quality time with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, strolling around Heaven Dou City. During this time, many auction houses sent invitations to Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Chen Ming, hoping they would attend their auctions, but Chen Ming, who had no interest, declined them all. As for invitations from nobles or soul master families, they were even more numerous and were similarly ignored.

During this period, Chen Ming also beat up a few individuals who tried to seduce him with beauty. He also eliminated several who foolishly attempted to use beauty to seduce Dugu Yan. Afterward, he accompanied Dugu Bo to visit these individuals' families, earning a hefty compensation in the process.

One declining earl family, unable to afford enough money or treasures worthy of a Titled Douluo's attention, was forced to give up a piece of land outside Heaven Dou City as compensation to Dugu Bo.

It was a somewhat remote but decent piece of land, with a soul master academy built upon it.

This soul master academy was originally a mid-level academy created by the family to accumulate connections and strength at great expense. However, due to the overwhelming presence of major sects and advanced soul master academies in Heaven Dou City, the academy failed to attract students and eventually went bankrupt. The family's investment, which had drained their resources, led to their decline from prosperity to ruin.

Additionally, due to the laws of the Heaven Dou Empire, the family was required to spend a large sum of money every year on basic maintenance for the now-empty academy. This continuous expense further bled them dry.

After obtaining the land deed, Chen Ming went to inspect the place and found that, while the academy's buildings and facilities had become somewhat rundown from lack of maintenance, they were still usable after some repairs.

Seeing this academy made Dugu Bo's heart itch. On a dark and windy night, Dugu Bo quietly approached Chen Ming to discuss his thoughts.

"Xiao Ming, do you think soul masters specializing in poison are all quite pitiful?"

"We have no predecessors to learn from, no academies to study at, and no places to exchange ideas. Because some poison-type soul masters can't control their toxins well, many places on the continent are quite fearful of us."

Dugu Bo drank as he shared his thoughts.

"I became a Titled Douluo mostly by luck. I was born into the Dugu family, with a top-tier martial soul, innate full soul power, and access to the family's inherited poison techniques. Finally, I achieved the last breakthrough thanks to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, advancing from Soul Douluo to Titled Douluo."

"Throughout my journey, I've tried countless times to find people to exchange ideas with. But either I couldn't find anyone who could, or the information shared was useless."
