Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 195: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

As expected, Chen Ming failed to complete the first part of his second divine trial. After all, it wasn't just the residual instinct left by the Angel God in the divine statue that was a challenge—even Chen Ming himself didn't believe he had truly defeated the Fifteen Ton Douluo.

After enduring a brutal beating, Chen Ming quietly began reviewing the situation and discovered a fairly obvious shortcoming in himself.

"Although I call myself a control-type soul master, I don't have any soul techniques that are truly strong in control."

Chen Ming reflected: if he had a soul skill like Dugu Bo's eighth soul skill or skull soul skill, he would at least have been able to control Fifteen Douluo for one or two seconds.

Fifteen Douluo controlled the rhythm of the battlefield through relentless offense, masking his weaknesses with his overwhelming strength. If Chen Ming could disrupt that rhythm and trap him within his battle tempo by preemptively using various soul techniques, the outcome of the battle might have been completely different.

He had no shortage of area attacks, with abilities like Poison Cloud, Poison Explosion, and Ultimate Ice and Fire, not to mention the AOE skill Deathly Poison Domain. For single-target attacks, he had a Destructive Death Ray, and his Dark Gold Terror Claws could also be considered a form of compensation for his shortcomings.

Though he had yet to fully adapt to his dual attributes of life and death, they at least compensated for his lack of aerial combat capability, significantly enhancing his mobility.

What he truly lacked now were amplification skills and control-type techniques. To summarize, he needed functional skills.

Although the Angel God's swordsmanship had given him significant inspiration, what was more valuable than the swordsmanship itself was its methods for countering and suppressing various enemies. As of now, Chen Ming didn't feel the need to adjust his combat style solely for the sake of swordsmanship.

Chen Ming pulled out a sheet of paper, slowly writing and sketching on it, before finally jotting down three words:

"Amplification, Strong Control, Counterattack."

Summoning his martial soul, Chen Ming gazed at the fifth soul ring beside him with its two golden streaks. After thinking about the types and locations of various soul beasts provided by the world consciousness of the Douluo Plane, Chen Ming locked in his target:

"The Queen of Snakes, Medusa."

Time Stop, Medusa's Gaze—every one of her abilities was the pinnacle of control, capable of freezing soul power and even affecting time itself. As far as control-type abilities were concerned, Chen Ming couldn't think of a better choice.

After bidding farewell to the elders of the Spirit Hall and Qian Renxue, and quietly greeting Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, Chen Ming returned to Heaven Dou City.

...

By this time, Dugu Bo, in his mansion, had already noticed Chen Ming's disappearance. However, Dugu Bo wasn't particularly worried.

Having witnessed Chen Ming's many miraculous feats, Dugu Bo had long since adopted a more laid-back attitude. At this point, whatever Chen Ming said, he would probably believe. In his heart, he was certain that Chen Ming would never encounter any real danger.

After all, in terms of strength, Chen Ming's abilities were at least on par with his own, perhaps even slightly superior in certain aspects.

Even if faced with a Super Douluo, Chen Ming wouldn't be taken away without resistance. Judging by the scene, it was clear he had left willingly.

Seeing Chen Ming return, Dugu Bo wore an expression as expected. Although he was curious about where Chen Ming had gone, he didn't press him for details. He merely expressed mild interest before dropping the subject.

After returning to Dugu Bo's residence, Chen Ming pulled Dugu Bo into the underground chamber. There, he took out the right leg bone that Golden Crocodile Douluo had given him.

Chen Ming briefly explained where he had been, how he had saved Qian Renxue, and how he had encountered Qian Daoliu in the Spirit Hall and received the Angel God's divine trials.

The only things Chen Ming kept hidden were the matters regarding world consciousness and the divine powers of the Asura God and Rakshasa God.

Even though Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo, knowing such things would do him more harm than good, as it could make him a target in the eyes of others.

Dugu Bo was aware that Chen Ming was withholding some information but had long since grown accustomed to it. Upon learning that the current Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, was Qian Renxue from the Spirit Hall in disguise, Dugu Bo's usually composed expression finally cracked, showing a rare look of disbelief.

However, upon hearing that Chen Ming had inherited the Angel God's swordsmanship and received the divine trials, Dugu Bo no longer considered this revelation about Xue Qinghe to be a big deal. Instead, he asked Chen Ming with some confusion: "Xiao Ming, with your talent, can't you become a god yet?"

"Becoming a god goes like this, and this is how it works..."

Chen Ming gave Dugu Bo a brief explanation of the gods and divine trials in the Douluo World, shattering Dugu Bo's recently rebuilt worldview.

Upon learning that only the successor of the Angel God could complete the nine trials and become the next Angel God, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a sense of regret for Chen Ming.

In Dugu Bo's eyes, with Chen Ming's talent, becoming the next Angel God would have been a certainty if not for this restriction.

Although Chen Ming mentioned that it was possible to become a god by gathering faith, Dugu Bo still believed that inheriting a god's position was the more reliable method.

After finishing his explanation, Chen Ming handed the soul bone to Dugu Bo and asked him to refine it.

Knowing that Chen Ming was already considering the matter of godhood, Dugu Bo didn't hesitate this time. Without any struggle or reluctance, he took the soul bone and began absorbing it.

After all, it was just a 30,000-year-old soul bone—he believed Chen Ming deserved better.

Throughout slightly more than an hour, the Shadow Leopard's right leg bone was fully absorbed by Dugu Bo. The excess soul power merged into his body, and he attempted to break through to the 95th level of Titled Douluo.

Six hours later, Dugu Bo's breakthrough neared its completion. Although his comprehension was still lacking in some respects, with the help of his unique inner core and the soul bone's enhancement, Dugu Bo finally managed to break through the threshold of level 95, becoming a Super Douluo.

At that moment, the final piece of his missing soul bone was in place, and he had achieved what he once could only dream of.

When Dugu Bo opened his eyes again, his appearance had become noticeably younger. Once looking to be in his fifties, he now seemed like a robust man in his thirties.

Due to the quality transformation, even his physical body underwent changes. His height increased once more, his long-lost muscles reappeared, and his once gray-white hair had turned jet-black.

The once perfectly fitting clothes now appeared slightly tight on his frame.

At this point, if not for the highly recognizable nature of his clothes, even Dugu Yan might not have been able to recognize him as her grandfather at first glance.

For a Titled Douluo, every level was a qualitative leap, and the transformation from level 94 to 95 was greater than that of levels 91 through 94 combined.

Raising his arm and clenching his fist, Dugu Bo felt the surging vitality within his body.

With his soul power breaking through, his body rejuvenated, his spiritual power enhanced, and his martial soul's quality improved, Dugu Bo had never felt so incredible in his entire life.

Dugu Bo estimated that he could now defeat his level-94 self within three moves. If the opponent were his level-91 self, he might be able to take on ten of them simultaneously.

Despite having recently hosted a celebration for his breakthrough, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel the urge to throw another grand banquet to announce to the world that he had become a Super Douluo.
