Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [209]
After achieving all of his goals in the cave, Chen Ming initially planned to leave quietly, erasing all traces of his presence. However, after some thought, he came up with a more malicious and psychological plan. He placed the box containing the soul bone into his Hundred Treasures Purse and began writing on the stone wall with his left hand.
Under Chen Ming's control, the writing on the wall appeared deranged, and he infused it with a sense of malice and death. At first glance, the crazed lettering would give anyone an overwhelming feeling of sin and madness.
To create the impression of a fanatical and insane evil soul master, Chen Ming deliberately made the writing disjointed, filled with curses and meaningless repetition. Yet, amidst the chaos, it conveyed a clear narrative:
If one pieced it together, it told the story of an evil soul master who had been hunted across the continent by the Spirit Hall. One day, Tang Hao happened to pass by and, without distinguishing right from wrong, killed the Spirit Hall soul masters pursuing the evil soul master with a single blow of his hammer.
Later, after narrowly escaping death, the evil soul master heard the news that Tang Hao had ambushed and killed the current Pope of Spirit Hall for the sake of a 100,000-year soul beast. The evil soul master began to idolize Tang Hao, regarding him as the avatar of an evil god on the continent.
By chance, this evil soul master discovered the cave and found a withered, tormented Blue Silver Grass with a faint spiritual essence, as well as a lead box containing a 100,000-year soul bone. The evil soul master believed these were gifts from the evil god.
He decided to continuously torture the spirit within the Blue Silver Grass, forcing it to tremble in evil and transforming it into the most terrifying malevolent spirit to spread the gospel of the evil god.
But this wasn't the most important part. The most critical detail lay in how Chen Ming, in the final signatures of the message, expressed his gratitude to Tang Hao in the tone of a crazed evil soul master. He thanked Tang Hao for killing the Spirit Hall soul master who had pursued him and for eliminating the Pope, which allowed him to escape Spirit Hall's grasp entirely.
Chen Ming carved these words with heartfelt sincerity, fully adopting the perspective of an evil soul master, repeatedly thanking Tang Hao. His goal was to give Tang Hao a big surprise.
In short, the main goal was psychological warfare—hitting someone where it hurt the most. Although he had never met Tang Hao, Chen Ming had already determined him to be an enemy. Against his enemies, Chen Ming had no qualms about using despicable tactics.
As the saying goes, if you want to hurt a man, strike where he is most vulnerable.
After leaving the writing, Chen Ming decisively left the cave with his spoils, carefully erasing all traces of his presence along the way.
...
At this moment, in the city of Nuoding, Tang Hao was hidden in the shadows, silently watching Tang San and Xiao Wu sit together, discussing which Soul Master Academy they should attend in the future. Just as Tang Hao was about to take a sip of wine to soothe his throat, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
At the level of a Title Douluo, soul masters heavily trust their instincts. Even though Tang Hao had long ceased engaging in real combat, and his instincts had dulled from his self-destructive lifestyle, he immediately became alert at that moment.
Clad in a black robe, Tang Hao stood up abruptly, his eyes wide with rage. He quickly scanned his surroundings,
PS: That's so evil. xD
