Dugu Bo IV

Dugu Bo did not release a trace of Soul Power, yet the atmosphere throughout the hall was oppressively terrifying, as though invisible killing intent filled every inch of the space.

Ye Wen felt as if he were about to suffocate before Dugu Bo finally withdrew that invisible pressure.

Dugu Bo, who had originally intended to leave, instead paced over to Ye Wen. His tall figure stood beneath the sunlight yet was shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to discern his expression.

Ye Wen was incomparably uneasy. After Tang San revealed that secret, Tang Hao had kept Dugu Bo from silencing him afterward. But Ye Wen might not be so fortunate.

Then Dugu Bo asked, "You are a clever child, and your talent as a soul master is quite good. From the look of you, you must have confirmed my condition. But you should also know that this is my greatest secret. So can you tell me why you dared to speak of it before me even at the risk of death?"

Dugu Bo's voice was as calm as an ancient well, but as he spoke, his long right hand had already settled on Ye Wen's shoulder, as though the slightest wrong answer would have Ye Wen killed on the spot.

Ye Wen swallowed with difficulty. This was the moment that would decide his fate. Whether he lived or died depended on his answer.

Forcing down the fear in his heart, Ye Wen said softly, "This junior is a physician, so if possible, this junior hopes to... to devise methods to treat every illness within my lifetime. Though conditions such as Yours are rare on the Douluo Continent, they are not unheard of. Thus, this junior wished to see whether a solution could be found. Or perhaps draw inferences from it
