Chapter 512 Dugu Bo, you've been poisoned.
Chapter 512 Dugu Bo, you've been poisoned.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang, with his hands behind his back, suddenly stepped forward from the crowd, looked at Dugu Bo, and his eyes became even more fervent:
"Greetings, Your Excellency Poison Douluo."
"I am Yu Xiaogang, the number one master of martial soul theory in the world of soul masters, known as 'Master'."
"I've heard that you possess a method for absorbing spirit rings that surpasses the theoretical limits of spirit masters. I'm very interested in it. Would you allow me to see it?"
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment:
"A method to absorb spirit rings beyond the theoretical limits of spirit masters?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded quickly:
"Yes."
"We have seen the spirit rings of your granddaughter Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, the heir of the Ye family of the Nine Heart Begonia. Their third and fourth spirit rings are spirit rings that have exceeded the theoretical limits of spirit masters, especially the fourth spirit ring."
"Based on my years of research, the theoretical limit for the fourth spirit ring is five thousand years. However, the fourth spirit rings absorbed by your granddaughter Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling have a lifespan that is twice the theoretical limit, reaching ten thousand years."
"How did you do that? Your Majesty, Poison Douluo, please tell me."
After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, he looked at Dugu Bo with intense eyes, eager to know the answer.
Not only him, but also Tang San and the others from Shrek Academy.
Especially Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and Ning Rongrong, who come from prominent families.
If they could obtain the method for absorbing spirit rings beyond the limit from Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, not only would they personally benefit greatly, but their families or sects would also be greatly strengthened.
With this method in hand, families or sects can cultivate more and stronger talents, enhance their strength, and then grow and expand.
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Dugu Bo immediately understood.
It turns out that this so-called master knew some martial spirit theory and, based on Yan Yan and Ling Ling's exposed ten-thousand-year spirit rings, guessed that it was him and suspected that he had mastered that so-called method of absorbing spirit rings beyond the theoretical limits of spirit masters.
So you want to get your hands on it?
Hehe, they're coveting the divine herbs within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
However, this so-called master in front of them seemed unaware that the reason Yan Yan and Ling Ling were able to successfully absorb their third and fourth super-limit soul rings was because they had consumed celestial herbs.
In fact, Yan Yan and Ling Ling's fourth soul ring was able to reach the ten-thousand-year level not only because of the effects of the immortal herbs, but also because of the help of the Holy Son Ye Qifeng.
After all, a ten-thousand-year soul ring contains the resentment left behind by a soul beast after its death, which will cause a severe soul impact on the soul master's mental world.
The celestial herbs that Yan Yan and Ling Ling took could indeed improve their physical condition and help them absorb soul rings beyond their limits, but their effect on increasing their mental strength was negligible.
Without the help of Saint Ye Qifeng, they would not have been able to successfully absorb a ten-thousand-year-level soul ring at the level of a level forty Soul Master.
Although Lingling is quite special, her fourth soul ring, which took ten thousand years to obtain, was entirely obtained through her own refinement and absorption.
However, it was also because of her innate talent and exceptional ability in cultivating spiritual power that she was able to successfully absorb the energy by relying on the Guiyuan Meditation Technique provided by Saint Ziye Qifeng, which allowed her to cultivate her spiritual power to a level sufficient to withstand the impact of a ten-thousand-year-old soul ring.
These things are known only to himself, the Holy Son, and a few others such as Yan Yan and Ling Ling; it's impossible for Yu Xiaogang to know them.
It seems that he only had some guesses, but actually knew nothing, not even the existence of rare items like immortal herbs, otherwise he would not have kept quiet about it.
Since that's the case, I can rest assured, as long as the secret of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye hasn't been leaked.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo looked at Yu Xiaogang with a half-smile, but his eyes suddenly turned dangerous:
"Oh? You want it?"
Yu Xiaogang didn't notice the dangerous glint in Dugu Bo's eyes. Hearing this, he thought he had a chance and quickly nodded excitedly.
"Yes, Your Majesty Poison Douluo, please be sure to inform me, I will be extremely grateful."
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a terrifying pressure of soul power suddenly erupted from Dugu Bo's body:
"Get lost! Who do you think you are, daring to covet my things?"
"You"
The shockwave formed by the pressure of soul power slammed into him, and Yu Xiaogang's eager expression froze instantly. He only had time to groan before he was sent flying.
Fortunately, Flander and Zhao Wuji had witnessed Dugu Bo's methods and learned from their mistakes. From the moment Dugu Bo appeared, they were always on guard against his attacks.
The moment Dugu Bo unleashed his soul power, the two reacted swiftly, immediately activating their soul power to shield Yu Xiaogang from most of the soul power pressure and intercept him as he was sent flying backward.
Even so, Yu Xiaogang, who was only at the level of a level 29 Great Soul Master, still suffered great damage, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood and becoming unable to speak.
In the blink of an eye, Master Yu, who was just moments before full of arrogance and excitement, became a useless cripple who couldn't move.
Seeing this, Flander's face instantly darkened, and he gritted his teeth as he questioned Dugu Bo:
"Poison Douluo, why did you suddenly attack someone?"
Not only Flander was furious, but everyone else at Shrek Academy was too, with Tang San's face being so dark it could drip water.
A teacher for a day is a father for life. Seeing the master being humiliated, Tang San's anger burned fiercely. He almost couldn't help but take out the two Soul-Chasing Darts he had crafted and throw them at Dugu Bo's face.
Even Tang Hao and Sword Douluo, who were hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but frown, but neither of them chose to make a move.
"You ask me why I took action?"
Dugu Bo chuckled coldly, "Heh, do you think just anyone can ask for what belongs to me, Dugu Bo?"
"What kind of bullshit martial spirit theory master is he? He's a piece of trash, yet he dares to ask me for things? I'm already being lenient by not killing him."
Dugu Bo's eyes emitted a dark green light, his gaze as cold and serpentine as he stared coldly at the Shrek Academy students.
If it weren't for the two Title Douluos hiding in the shadows, he would have killed all those uninvited little rats the moment Yu Xiaogang said those words.
"I'm not in the mood to waste my breath here. Either get out of here right now, or you're leaving your lives here."
Dugu Bo's beard and hair stood on end, and his words and aura were full of threat.
He raised his right hand, and a ball of emerald green light, shaped like a flame, suddenly condensed in his palm, emanating a soul power aura that made one's heart tremble.
That was the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison, condensed from the poison attribute soul power of Dugu Bo's own martial soul. It was extremely terrifying, and almost no one below the Title Douluo level could withstand it.
If the poison is not treated promptly, the poisoned person will die within a short time, turning into pus.
Sensing the potent poison contained within the emerald light, Tang San, who was very knowledgeable about poisons, couldn't help but frown, but he didn't seem to feel any fear.
But it's not necessarily the case for others.
He has to do something.
Just as Dugu Bo seemed about to make a move at any moment, Tang San suddenly stepped forward, blocking the crowd and saying:
"Wait a minute, Senior Poison Douluo, I have something to say."
A faint green light flickered in Dugu Bo's eyes as he glanced at Tang San:
"Oh? Kid, do you have any last words?"
Tang San was furious, but he took a deep breath and suppressed it, a confident look appearing on his face:
"Senior Poison Douluo, you've been poisoned."
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment:
"What?"
Tang San composed himself, looking at Dugu Bo, who was covered in dark green, and seemed even more convinced of his judgment:
"I said, you've been poisoned."
Upon hearing this, everyone present, including the other Shrek Academy students and Tang Hao and Sword Douluo, who were each hiding in a giant tree, were stunned. What? Poison Douluo was poisoned?
Then, everyone looked at Tang San.
"Am I poisoned?"
Dugu Bo chuckled:
"Heh, what a joke. Me, the Poison Douluo, poisoned?"
"I am seventy-eight years old this year. I have always been the one poisoning others, and I have never been the one poisoned."
"You probably don't know this, but even other titled Douluo turn pale when they talk about my poison."
Tang San scoffed dismissively:
"Your poison? It's nothing but garbage."
"Who gave you the audacity to speak to me like that?"
A sudden burst of green light flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes, and his powerful soul force burst forth, slamming heavily into Tang San's chest. The intense pain nearly made him faint.
Seeing this, Tang Hao, who was hiding in the shadows, had a flash of red light in his eyes. He almost couldn't help but jump out with his hammer and give Dugu Bo a good whack. However, when he saw that Tang San seemed to be unharmed, he held back.
Dugu Bo looked at Tang San with a cold gaze:
"Kid, you dare say my poison is trash? I think you're asking for trouble."
"You should know that when it comes to using poison, in this world, even among all poison-attribute soul masters, there is no one stronger than me."
"My poison can instantly devastate a radius of a kilometer, leaving nothing but barren land and death."
"Killing you would be incredibly easy for me; I wouldn't even need to lift a finger to poison you to death."
"You dare question my poison? That's utterly audacious and nonsensical."
Tang San coughed up a mouthful of blood, enduring the excruciating pain as he struggled to his feet, his tone still full of confidence:
"Your poison is indeed very potent, that's true, but in my opinion, it's still garbage."
"Poison is meant to be used against enemies, but your poison has even poisoned yourself. What is that if not garbage?"
"Don't tell me you didn't know you were poisoned."
When Tang San saw the old monster Dugu Bo in the teaching committee hall of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy last time, he already had some suspicions.
Now that he has seen Dugu Bo again and clearly seen his appearance, Tang San is even more certain of his judgment.
His green beard and hair, the abnormal color, his dark purple-green lips, his stiff, sunken cheeks, his cold, emerald-green eyes, and so on.
All of this clearly shows that Dugu Bo is already terminally ill, poisoned to the bone, and his days are numbered.
Not only Dugu Bo, but also his granddaughter Dugu Yan, with her deep purple hair and emerald green eyes, her hair and eye colors were clearly not colors that could exist in this world.
This indicates that Dugu Yan, like her grandfather Dugu Bo, is also suffering from the poison of the Jade Phosphorus Snake, but it seems that her symptoms are not as severe as Dugu Bo's at present.
But given time, things might change.
While Dugu Yan inherited the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul and possessed powerful venomous abilities, she also inherited the backlash from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's venom.
After thinking these things through, Tang San naturally became much more confident.
Dugu Bo coldly stared at Tang San, but this time, he didn't attack Tang San again. Instead, he asked with interest:
"Oh? How did you know I was poisoned?"
Tang San immediately launched into a long explanation, detailing what he had noticed about Dugu Bo's unusual appearance, and even mentioning Dugu Yan's symptoms of poisoning.
After listening to Tang San's words, Dugu Bo seemed to be deep in thought.
This kid's got some skills. He actually managed to tell from our appearances that Yan Yan and I were both poisoned before. But, thanks to the poison skills bestowed upon us by His Highness the Holy Son, we've long since been cured.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo suddenly let out a few strange laughs:
"Kid, is it possible that my beard and hair are actually dyed, my makeup is on, and this appearance is just an act, and I'm not actually poisoned at all?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San's heart skipped a beat. He quickly widened his eyes, which gleamed with purple light, and looked at Dugu Bo's face.
However, whether it was because Dugu Bo's makeup skills were too superb or his acting skills were too amazing, Tang San, who used the Purple Demon Eye, was unable to find any flaws on his face.
This only made Tang San more certain that his guess was correct.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze, his face still full of confidence:
"Senior is joking. I could never be mistaken. Senior is indeed poisoned."
Dugu Bo suddenly laughed, as if watching a clown performance:
"Oh? You're so sure?"
"That's natural."
Tang San nodded confidently, then asked:
"Senior, let me ask you this: whenever it's cloudy or rainy, do you experience a tingling or itchy sensation in your rib area, and does it gradually intensify?"
"It occurs once at noon and once at midnight, and lasts for more than an hour each time."
"Also, around midnight, I would experience needle-like stabbing pains on the top of my head and in the center of my chest, accompanied by spasms throughout my body, causing excruciating pain that lasted for at least half an hour."
Am I right?
Dugu Bo stared wide-eyed in surprise, giving Tang San a deep look.
The symptoms described by this kid were almost identical to those I had when I was poisoned.
It seems this kid really has some skills; he's not just guessing or talking nonsense. In fact, he seems to have some knowledge of poisons.
Dugu Bo suddenly became interested and decided to play along with him:
"So what if it is?"
Seeing the sudden change in Dugu Bo's expression, Tang San was now absolutely certain:
"This means you've already been poisoned, senior."
"Moreover, you've not only been poisoned, but the poison has seeped into your very bones."
