Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 350: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

Watching this scene, Chen Ming squinted his eyes slightly, then gently shook his head and said warmly, "I'm sorry, Sect Master Ning. It's still a bit early to talk about such matters. Right now, I only see Rongrong as my younger sister. As for the future, we'll discuss it when the time comes."

Chen Ming's strength now was far beyond what it had been in the past. If he unleashed his full power, he could uproot the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Long gone were the days when he needed to rely on alliances or marriages to build connections.

If he liked something, he liked it. If he didn't, he didn't. Although Chen Ming couldn't claim to have everything in the world bow to his will, when it came to personal preferences, he certainly had enough control to say that he didn't have to eat beef if he didn't want to.

Building alliances was simply a principle Chen Ming adhered to due to the education he had received: "Make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as you can." Having one more ally was always better than having one more enemy. If someone could be drawn in, he would try; if not, he would plan how to eliminate them.

Hearing Chen Ming's words, Ning Fengzhi felt slightly helpless in his heart, but outwardly, he calmed down, let out a long sigh, and looked a bit embarrassed.

"I apologize. That was abrupt of me."

Behind Bone Douluo, Ning Rongrong, upon hearing Chen Ming's rejection, also lowered her hands from her face, feeling slightly disappointed. Like Ning Fengzhi, she sighed softly. While she felt a bit uncomfortable, she wasn't overly upset.

After all, this was how things were. At present, it was she who was seeking help. Everything was a negotiation for purpose and profit, and her personal feelings were the least significant part of the entire process.

In the following period, Chen Ming took out several types of soul tools to display to Ning Fengzhi. In addition to the usual offensive and defensive tools, Chen Ming also showcased a flying soul tool, which could be considered overpowered in the current Douluo Continent.

In this era, flying was still a rare ability. Apart from soul masters born with wings or those with flight-related soul skills, most titled Douluo were essentially grounded chickens. Flight abilities were a privilege of the soul master elite. A soul master who could fly often had survival capabilities several times greater than those of ordinary soul masters.

The flying soul tools of this era were essentially flying backpacks. They looked somewhat bulky, and their usage was not particularly comfortable. However, no one could deny the speed they provided.

A third-grade flying soul tool could allow a soul master to fly at heights ranging from five to ten meters above the ground at speeds of up to 20 meters per second. Fourth-grade tools could increase both height and speed by 50%, surpassing the flight speed of most flying-type Soul Kings, though slightly less agile.

In terms of speed, this equated to 108 kilometers per hour, an almost godlike speed on the Douluo Continent.

As for fifth- and sixth-grade flying soul tools, Chen Ming indeed had some, but he didn't take them out, instead keeping them as trump cards. As for seventh-grade flying soul tools, the technology was still under development.

As Chen Ming showcased the tools, Ning Fengzhi's gaze grew increasingly heated, as though he wanted to see through the internal structure of the soul tools just by staring. Even Dugu Bo, who had heard Chen Ming's explanations before, was amazed at the sheer variety of these soul tools.

A few simple soul tools were introduced for an entire day. By the time the sky had turned completely dark, Ning Fengzhi reluctantly stopped his trials of the tools. He then inquired about their prices and whether the technology behind them could be transferred.

To this, Chen Ming provided a very reasonable explanation:

"It's possible to sell soul tools, but due to technical limitations, the production capacity is very low. Each soul tool needs to be custom-made. As for the technology behind them... This is an extremely complex and intricate system. It's difficult to explain even in a short amount of time, let alone transfer the knowledge."

"Moreover, soul tool crafting is a technical skill that doesn't rely on a soul master's innate talent but instead on technical aptitude. Just because someone is an outstanding soul master doesn't mean they can become a great soul engineer. It requires training, learning to identify and forge metals, accumulating knowledge of numerous soul arrays, and being able to put all of this into practice."

"How about this: I'll organize a set of first-level soul engineer techniques for you to take a look at. That should give you a sense of just how challenging it is to train a soul engineer."

Chen Ming mischievously pulled out a few first-level soul engineer arrays from his materials, wrote them down in a book, and handed them to Ning Fengzhi and his companions. When they saw terms like arrays, metals, linkage, internal structure, and core, even though Ning Fengzhi had anticipated this to be an advanced technology, his mind went blank.

Even with the array in hand, he couldn't understand how these arrays could convert soul power.

In reality, a first-level soul engineer wasn't even the foundation of soul engineering—it was only the entry-level grade. Before becoming a first-level soul engineer, a soul master had to accumulate a massive amount of theoretical knowledge before they could pass through practical testing and officially become one.

In simple terms, it was like mathematics: before teaching someone formulas, you at least had to ensure they understood what the symbols represented.

Chen Ming, however, removed the introductory materials, didn't explain the meaning of the symbols, and directly handed out problems. Anyone who could understand them wouldn't just be ordinary—they would be a born genius in soul tool engineering.

If there were physical arrays for reference, soul masters with deep soul power could at least test the effects of the arrays and infer their functions and principles based on their understanding of soul power. But working purely on paper, there was no way to verify anything.

In the end, Ning Fengzhi left with a book containing several first-level soul engineer arrays and a third-grade flying soul tool. Before leaving, he handed over a gold card worth ten million gold soul coins.

It wasn't a deposit—just a gift.

Ning Fengzhi originally wanted to leave Ning Rongrong at Dugu Bo's mansion as well, but seeing Dugu Bo's silent yet sharp gaze, he ultimately decided to take Ning Rongrong with him.

As soon as they left Heaven Dou City and confirmed that no one was paying attention to them, Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance with Gu Rong, who immediately activated his martial soul true body. Using the spatial manipulation abilities of his Bone Dragon martial soul, Gu Rong frantically transported their carriage through space, returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as quickly as possible.

Despite it being the middle of the night, with some elders sleeping and others engaged in less appropriate activities, Ning Fengzhi used his authority as sect master to ring the sect's council bell, forcibly dragging all the elders out of their rooms—or from under someone else's bed—and into the council hall to introduce the soul tools he had seen that day.

As the soul-guided ray gun, soul-guide shield, and flying soul tool—devices capable of massively disrupting the soul master system—were presented, all the elders became restless.
