"Weisi Gege, what is this?" After Anna refined the energy in that small piece of whale rubber, her eyes lit up as she exclaimed in delight.

"Brother, this really is good stuff. After eating it, I found that my soul power cultivation speed has increased quite a bit!"

Dai Weisi rubbed Anna's little head and said with a smile, "I told you it was good stuff. Do you believe me now? All right, go back to cultivating soul power in the garden. Your task for the next week is to cultivate diligently, understand?"

"Mm! Got it, Weisi Gege!" With that, Anna ran to the pavilion in the courtyard, sat down cross-legged, and began cultivating soul power.

Over the next week, Dai Weisi did not arrange any physical training for her. She only had two tasks every day.

First, meditate in the courtyard and cultivate soul power. Second, as long as it would not kill her, eat herself to death!

Throughout that week, Anna ate lavish meals of fish and meat, with extremely rich nutrition. Half an hour after every meal, she also had to consume a small piece of whale rubber.

A week passed like this, and Anna's body gradually grew stronger. At the very least, she no longer looked like she had skinny little arms and legs.

Seeing Anna grow increasingly robust, Dai Weisi began arranging all sorts of physical training for her. The simpler exercises included long-distance running, push-ups, squats, sit-ups, and pull-ups.

His requirements were a ten-kilometer run, one hundred push-ups, one hundred squats, one hundred sit-ups, and ten pull-ups every day.

That was right, the famous Saitama Teacher Training Method from his previous life. Of course, considering Anna was still young, everything was done in segments.

For example, the ten-kilometer daily run was divided into fifty two-hundred-meter sprints, while the one hundred push-ups were divided into ten sets.

Then, the intensity would gradually be increased. For instance, the fifty two-hundred-meter sprints could become twenty-five four-hundred-meter dashes and twenty five-hundred-meter dashes. The exact arrangements depended on Anna's physical condition.

All of this was meant to train Anna's physical fitness and allow her to absorb better soul rings in the future.

Dai Weisi thought that Anna's First Soul Ring had to be at least six hundred years old. If she absorbed a soul ring from a plant-type soul beast, then its age limit could be raised to seven hundred years.

Perhaps in gratitude for Dai Weisi taking her in, Anna trained exceptionally hard. Even if she exhausted herself like a dog every day, even if she did not sleep, she would definitely complete every task Dai Weisi assigned her.

Although the physical training left Anna in a sorry state at first, Dai Weisi kept feeding her whale rubber, and her physical condition gradually improved. She was already beginning to adapt to this level of training.

At the same time, Dai Weisi was considering increasing the intensity of Anna's training!

Heaven Dou City, the Dugu Family estate.

After half a month, Qin Ming and the others finally returned to Heaven Dou City, and Dugu Yan returned home as well.

As soon as she got home, she wanted to ask her grandfather, Dugu Bo, about the poisoning. However, the servants told her that Dugu Bo had left the estate a week ago and had yet to return.

Not knowing where Dugu Bo was, Dugu Yan could only wait at home. Before she knew it, another week had passed, and today, Dugu Bo had finally returned.

A tall, thin old man suddenly descended from the sky and arrived at the Dugu Manor.

The old man had a gaunt face and sunken cheeks. His disheveled hair and the hair at his temples were an exceptionally strange Dark Green, while his snake-like eyes gleamed like emeralds.

It was not just his gaze that resembled a venomous snake. The aura he gave off and the impression he made were also like a venomous snake hunting prey, as though he would devour his enemy the next second!

Dressed in a simple gray robe, he calmly walked into the room.

"Grandfather, you're back!"

Only when he saw Dugu Yan did a trace of tenderness appear in Dugu Bo's eyes. He could not help smiling. "Haha, my good granddaughter, Grandfather is back. Did you miss Grandfather?"

Dugu Yan threw herself into Dugu Bo's arms and said with a laugh, "Hehe, Grandfather, welcome back!"

As a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo's senses were astonishing. The instant they came into physical contact, he noticed that Dugu Yan's soul power had advanced.

"Oh? Yan Yan, has your soul power already reached level thirty-six? Not bad, not bad!"

"Hehe, Grandfather, I've been cultivating hard these past few days." Dugu Yan spoke with a grin, but Dai Weisi came to mind.

Ever since she had been defeated by him in the Star Dou Great Forest, she had begun cultivating soul power desperately. Aside from eating and drinking, she spent all her time cultivating.

Now that three weeks had passed, Dugu Yan had successfully reached level thirty-six. She recalled what Dai Weisi had once said and could not help asking, "Grandfather, could you examine my body and see whether I've been poisoned?"

"What?!"

Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically. His already pale face turned even whiter, like that of a corpse, while his heart filled with unease.

What was going on? Could the poison in Yan Yan's body have erupted already? What should he do now?!

So as not to delay Dugu Yan's cultivation, Dugu Bo had concealed the matter of her poisoning from her all these years. At the same time, he had constantly sought a way to neutralize the poison, but to no avail.

Instead, he had found a feng shui treasure land, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Only by relying on the violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth there could he temporarily suppress the poison within his body.

Dugu Bo's expression was extremely grim. If the poison in Dugu Yan's body erupted, with her strength, she might be unable to suppress it. The final outcome would only be death by poisoning!

He had already witnessed his son and daughter-in-law die with his own eyes. He could not stand by and watch his granddaughter follow them into the grave as well.

Seeing that Dugu Bo said nothing and instead wore a terrifying expression, Dugu Yan asked in confusion, "Grandfather, what's wrong? Why do you look so awful?"

"It's nothing. Yan Yan, why would you ask something like that?"

"It's like this, Grandfather. I met the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, and he said I was poisoned..."

Dugu Yan told Dugu Bo about how she had met Dai Weisi, as well as how Dai Weisi had relayed through Qin Ming that she had been poisoned.

When he heard that Dai Weisi's Fourth Soul Ring was already at the ten-thousand-year level, and that he had effortlessly defeated the Royal Fight Team seven against one, Dugu Bo was quite surprised. This kid is simply a genius.

Yet what startled him even more was that the other party had identified Dugu Yan's severe poisoning with just one glance, even pointing out that once the poison invaded her internal organs, death would be inevitable.

"Teacher Qin Ming said it was better to believe it than not, so he told me to come to Grandfather and have you take a look. After all, Grandfather is the Poison Douluo. You can definitely detoxify me."

"I see. Teacher Qin Ming is right. This is not something that can be taken lightly." Hearing this, Dugu Bo could not help thinking sadly that, despite being the famed Poison Douluo and having devoted his entire life to poison, he was helpless against the poison in his own body.

He could only watch his son die before his eyes, powerless to do anything. Now his granddaughter had been poisoned as well. Was this tragedy about to repeat itself?

"Right!"

A thought suddenly struck Dugu Bo. "That prince of the Star Luo Empire said he was well-versed in medicine, and he could see the poison in Yan Yan's body at a glance. Perhaps he might have a solution?"

Perhaps because he was worried about his granddaughter's safety, Dugu Bo was starting to grasp at straws. He made up his mind to find Dai Weisi and ask him.

If the other party had a solution, then no matter what, he would have to make him save his granddaughter. If he had no solution, then Dugu Yan could only be placed near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and they would decide what to do afterward.
