The green fog dispersed.
A tall, thin old man in a plain gray robe emerged, his beard and hair a vivid green.
"Hehe, Old Poison, it's been a while~"
When Sword Douluo saw him, he greeted him with a smile.
"I was wondering who possessed such powerful sword intent. So it was Sword Douluo himself. Forgive me for not welcoming you properly."
Dugu Bo was startled upon recognizing Sword Douluo, then gave him a slight bow.
Although Sword Douluo was many levels stronger than Dugu Bo, if they truly fought, this was Dugu Bo's territory.
Dugu Bo was confident he could escape.
Before Sword Douluo could speak, a childish voice rang out.
"Holy crap! Old man, who's this green-haired old bastard?"
"So arrogant?"
Sword Douluo's mouth twitched.
This brat probably doesn't even know how the word 'death' is written.
Dugu Bo froze at first.
Then he flew into a rage.
"You brat!"
"You're courting death!!"
Dugu Bo's green eyes suddenly lit up, radiating a terrifying aura.
"Old Poison, enough. He is a disciple of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. What are you trying to do?!"
Sword Douluo stepped in front of Luo Hao and shouted coldly.
Although Luo Hao was indeed asking for trouble, he was an immensely talented genius and a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Sword Douluo had no intention of losing him.
Feeling Sword Douluo's astonishing sword intent, Dugu Bo suddenly felt a trace of fear.
Because he could tell that Sword Douluo was serious.
Dugu Bo had no doubt
that if he made the slightest move, Sword Douluo would cut him down with a single strike.
"What do you mean by this, Your Excellency?!"
"Though I, Dugu Bo, may not be your match, I am still a Titled Douluo. How can I be insulted by a junior?!" Dugu Bo gritted his teeth.
Sword Douluo had a headache as well.
Though he could kill Dugu Bo and was unafraid of his poison, if he truly drove this fellow into a corner, Rongrong and that brat would be the ones to suffer.
No one could withstand Dugu Bo's large-scale poison attacks.
PS: As stated in the synopsis, the story will most likely follow the original plot. Tang San will still get the soul bones and such that he should have. The protagonist relies on the system, and he has no interest in this world's trash anyway (except female characters!!). It's fine to leave it all to Tang San.
Otherwise, if Tang San develops too poorly and dies too quickly, that would be boring.
=== That Little Brat, You Got Me Into Trouble ===
Just then, three options appeared before Luo Hao.
Ding~ You have encountered an important supporting character—Dugu Bo. Options triggered. Option One: Use the Level 99 Titled Douluo Experience Card and beat Dugu Bo up; reward: permanent poison immunity BUFF. Option Two: Pat your butt and leave. Reward: 1,000 Soul Ring experience points. Option Three: Make Dugu Bo believe that you have the ability to cure poison. Reward: one Meridian Opening Pill. Meridian Opening Pill: Cleanses the marrow and opens the meridians.
Seeing this.
A smile curled at the corner of Luo Hao's lips.
He knew it.
With the system's usual antics, there was bound to be an option at a time like this.
It was just that this option was somewhat unexpected.
The permanent poison immunity from Option One was simply too tempting.
But wasting a Level 99 Douluo Card for it was hardly worth it.
Besides, once he cultivated the Nine Star Hegemony Body Art to its peak, he would be immune to poison as well.
The two most overpowered things in Douluo were Tang San's poisons and Tang San's hidden weapons.
Those two things were the biggest exploits in the entire story.
Although there was never any description of their levels, their power increased along with Tang San's strength. By the later stages, they could easily slaughter Titled Douluo.
Luo Hao was still somewhat concerned.
So he directly chose Option Three.
This option was far too obvious.
Naturally, the Meridian Opening Pill awarded by the option was not meant for him, but for Dugu Bo.
Just as the two sides stood at swords' point, Luo Hao spoke again.
"Old man, who exactly is this guy?"
"I think he's deeply poisoned. He must suffer backlash from his own poison every day, to the point of wishing he were dead, right?" Luo Hao said with a chuckle.
He paid no heed whatsoever to Dugu Bo's murderous gaze.
Hearing Luo Hao's words, Sword Douluo was utterly baffled.
Dugu Bo was one of the continent's foremost poison experts. How could he possibly be poisoned?
"Kid, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Thinking that Luo Hao was still provoking Dugu Bo, Sword Douluo reprimanded him in a low voice.
But when Dugu Bo heard Luo Hao's words, his entire body trembled violently.
Because this was his greatest secret!
How could a little brat possibly know?
"Kid, who exactly are you?!"
Dugu Bo shouted sharply.
He refused to believe it.
That a seven-year-old brat
could know so much.
"Who I am isn't important~"
"What matters is~"
"I can cure the poison in your body~"
Luo Hao looked at Dugu Bo with a faint, enigmatic smile.
But he knew such terms alone would not be enough to move Dugu Bo, so he added, "I know you have a way to suppress your poison, but what about your descendants~"
"You should have experienced that kind of pain before, right~"
"If your descendants still fail to find a cure, then before they reach thirty, they'll end up just like you—"
"Enough!"
Dugu Bo was horrified.
He roared in anger.
"What exactly are you trying to say?!"
"Nothing much. I just want you to know that I can treat your poison~"
"I've said what needed to be said. Aren't you going to invite me inside for a seat?" Luo Hao raised an eyebrow.
Dugu Bo's expression shifted unpredictably.
He wanted to say something.
His gaze remained fixed on Luo Hao.
He wanted to read even the slightest clue from Luo Hao's face.
Because Dugu Bo truly could not understand
what this inexplicable brat was really after.
"Fine. Follow me."
Dugu Bo spoke slowly to Luo Hao.
"Old man, Rongrong, let's go in and have a seat~"
Luo Hao said with a smile to Ning Rongrong and Sword Douluo behind him.
Sword Douluo was still completely dumbfounded.
He had no idea what was going on.
"Brat, what exactly are you trying to do?!"
"You'd better explain yourself honestly!"
"Otherwise, once Old Poison goes mad, sometimes even I won't be able to protect you!"
Sword Douluo said gravely.
"Don't worry, old man."
