The Wager (Bonus Chapter)
After resolving the matter with Ning Fengzhi, Xiao Lin was in a great mood.
However, Xiao Lin soon discovered that the situation on Tang San and Dugu Bo's side was not optimistic.
Tang San was seen with Xiao Wu and Tang Ni together, glaring at Dugu Bo Dugu Bo, who was wearing a wicked smile, behaving like an Evil Soul Master.
Xiao Wu: Screw you, you so- Titled Douluo! You're poisoned and have no skills, all you do is threaten my Third Brother?
Tang Ni: Trash, Titled Douluo!
Although Tang Ni wasn't good at swearing, she looked down on Dugu Bo from the bottom of her heart. The Poison Soul Master was poisoned by his own poison.
She had never heard of such a thing before. Even the most poisonous Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest had never been poisoned to death.
Moreover, Tang Ni was even more disdainful that Dugu Bo actually threatened Tang San.
My brother, is he someone you're threatening?
Tang San is someone who can influence the Destiny of future Soul Beast, so she has to keep a close eye on Tang San and make sure he doesn't go astray.
Tang Ni had already imagined the scene of herself beating up Dugu Bo after becoming Titled Douluo.
"Hehe, no matter how much you glare at me, it won't make a difference. If Grandmaster Xiao Yan doesn't come to save Tang San, then let Tang San stay with me for the rest of my life."
Dugu Bo had no intention of using Ning Fengzhi's tactics at all.
He wasn't as wealthy Ning Fengzhi, so when he saw Tang San, who seemed to be the successor to Grandmaster Xiao Yan's knowledge of pharmacology, he naturally wouldn't let him go.
He would simply kidnap Tang San Tang San and force him to study poison with him until he solved the poison problem on Dugu Yan's body, only then would he release Tang San.
When Xiao Lin arrived at Tang San's side, Xiao Lin vaguely guessed what had happened from their conversation.
Ultimately, Dugu Bo wanted to ask Tang San about clues regarding Xiao Yan.
But what could Tang San say? He couldn't very well say that Xiao Yan was Xiao Lin!
So Tang San said he didn't know Xiao Yan and wanted to deny it.
However, Dugu Bo didn't believe it at all. He directly used the cultivation levels of the group and Tang San's choice of Soul Ring to prove that Tang San must know Xiao Yan.
As for why, Dugu Bo stated it directly.
Grandmaster Xiao Yan published his first Thesis six years ago, when Tang San should have just awakened.
In such a short time, someone directly selected a very suitable Soul Beast Soul Ring for Tang San.
There's absolutely nothing fishy going on here, and Dugu Bo is the first to disbelieve that.
If there were other people as intelligent as him back then, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't have been called Grandmaster for so many years.
Dugu Bo's words left everyone present speechless.
And that is indeed the case. Apart from sects and powerful forces with genuine lineages, their Soul Ring are passed down through generations of trials.
Which other person, which guy, has Soul Ring that perfectly complements the Blue Silver Grass's inherent Soul Ring, just like Tang San's?
Dugu Bo even explicitly stated that if Tang San did not go with him, he would expose a major secret that Tang San was hiding.
As for this big secret, it is naturally the fact that Tang San hid his Second Spirit.
This was a secret that Dugu Bo told only to Tang San, out of respect for Grandmaster Xiao Yan.
It was this threat that made Tang San hesitate.
He was very clear about the hatred between his family and the Spirit Hall.
With his great grudge still unresolved, how could he possibly reveal that he possesses the Clear Sky Hammer?
It even implicated Xiao Lin and Xiao Wu.
"Oh dear, what does Little San know? He's only learned some pharmacology; he's talking nonsense."
At this moment, Xiao Lin stepped forward and spoke.
Hearing Xiao Lin say this, everyone focused their attention on Xiao Lin.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Lin both have the surname Xiao, could it be...?
Is Xiao Lin Xiao Yan's son or grandson?
"From what you're saying, you seem to know a lot about poisons?"
Dugu Bo sneered. So what if Xiao Lin knows about poison? Can he really cure the poison that he and Yan Yan are poisoned?
However, Xiao Lin's appearance gave Dugu Bo a new goal in an instant.
If Xiao Lin is also arrested, Xiao Yan will definitely step in directly!
A cold glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes as he thought to himself.
However, at this moment, Sword Douluo Chen Xin clearly noticed Dugu Bo's abnormality and directly snorted coldly.
The sharp sword intent made Dugu Bo break out in a cold sweat.
The gap in strength between him and Chen Xin is still too great.
"Although I don't understand poison, I do understand Martial Soul, and I understand Soul Power!"
Xiao Lin showed no fear in the face of Dugu Bo's aura. How could he not step forward in a dungeon where there was no danger to his life and he could even gain great opportunities?
At this moment, Xiao Lin's appearance stunned Dugu Bo. A Soul Elder actually had such courage, even if it was because he had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School on his side...
For a moment, Dugu Bo was at a loss for what to do.
The appearance of Xiao Lin made Tang San feel even more confident that everything was going smoothly.
Without the Immortal Herb, Tang San wasn't very confident he could cure Dugu Yan's poison.
We can't keep giving her medicine that only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, and then wait until Dugu Yan gets used to the medicine, then we're doomed.
At this moment, Tang San was deeply moved.
Brother Lin ~
A layer of mist even appeared in Tang San's eyes.
Heaven knows, in the past few years, Tang San's father found him a god-sister, but she never came to see him. This made Tang San, who had lacked love since his previous life, completely captivated by Xiao Lin's charm.
Just as Tang San was moved, Xiao Lin revealed a disdainful expression.
"You've really outdone yourself with the poison in your own Soul Ring, Dugu Bo. Even Dugu Yan has been affected by your poison. What a failed life."
Faced with Xiao Lin's mockery, Dugu Bo could no longer hold back and immediately opened his green pupils, staring intently at Xiao Lin.
"Then tell me, what's your solution?"
"Why should we talk to someone like you who threatens us and expects to get something for nothing?"
"Alright, since you put it that way, let's Spirit Oath. If you can cure the Soul Poison in me and Yan Yan, then all my property will be yours, and you can make me your henchman if you want."
"If you can't cure the Soul Poison in me and Yan Yan, then you must call out your teacher Xiao Yan to cure us."
Dugu Bo stared at Xiao Lin like a venomous snake. If Xiao Lin refused, he would simply grab Xiao Lin and escape into the Sunset Forest.
Dugu Bo wasn't afraid of losing face; after all, that's just the kind of person he is.
Isn't there a legitimate reason for this behavior? It's just that the methods used are a bit unsavory.
On the contrary, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect captures Dugu Yan, what cruel methods could they possibly use against Dugu Yan?
Are you really not afraid that Dugu Bo's poison could kill everyone in the entire Heaven Dou City, or even the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
"Okay, I promise you, but I need the Little San's help because I don't know anything about drugs."
"Then swear an oath!"
As soon as Xiao Lin and Dugu Bo finished speaking, everyone's expression changed.
Gambling your future like this doesn't bring much benefit to either side, regardless of who wins!
Shouldn't we have helped Dugu Bo get rid of the poison so that Xiao Lin and the others could benefit from it?
Now that things have turned out this way, how are Dugu Yan and Xiao Lin supposed to get along?
Soon, under everyone's gaze, Xiao Lin and Dugu Bo successfully Spirit Oath.
If either party fails to fulfill the requirements of the oath, the other will suffer a backlash from their Martial Soul, which will directly affect their Soul Master body.
At this moment, Xiao Lin was even more determined to obtain the Immortal Herb: "Since we've made an oath, let's set off. I'm not good with poisons, so I must bring Little San along. Also, you must prepare the medicinal herbs you currently have for us, as we might need them."
"Don't worry, my Medicine Garden will need your herbs."
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, feeling somewhat at ease.
He knew that using Martial Soul or Soul Power to deal with the poison would be a huge undertaking and would take a considerable amount of time.
If medication is available, it will be much faster.
