The Fish Has Taken the Bait

"Poison Immunity... Poison Immunity!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could such a Martial Soul exist in this world?"

Dugu Yan froze for a moment, then kept shaking her head.

But as she looked at Yang Yuan in the distance, completely unscathed, her conviction began to waver.

The spectators in the distance were stunned by what they saw.

"Yang Yuan actually defeated Dugu Yan."

"Not only that—didn't you hear him? His Martial Soul is Poison Immunity."

"If that's true, then Yang Yuan is practically Dugu Yan's nemesis!"

Teacher Wang stepped forward, his face equally unable to hide his astonishment.

Clearly, he had not expected Yang Yuan not only to defeat Dugu Yan, but to win so easily.

Poison Immunity?

Could such a Martial Soul truly exist in this world?

If news of this reached that person, would it bring danger to Yang Yuan?

At that thought, Teacher Wang quickly dismissed the idea.

That Your Excellency might not have the best reputation, but surely he would not lay a hand on an eight-year-old child.

What Teacher Wang did not know was that Yang Yuan had deliberately revealed that his Martial Soul possessed Poison Immunity precisely because he wanted to catch Dugu Bo's attention.

"I lost!"

On the other side, Dugu Yan took a deep breath.

In the end, she accepted the fact that she had lost to Yang Yuan.

However, she still did not believe that any Martial Soul could possess complete Poison Immunity.

Even a beast Martial Soul with extremely high poison resistance, like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, would not dare claim to be immune to poison.

Much less Yang Yuan's Eye Martial Soul, which did not look like a Martial Soul with high poison resistance at all.

He must have used some other method to withstand her Poison Art.

Dugu Yan returned to the crowd, but her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Yang Yuan's every move.

As soon as the practical training ended, she immediately walked over to him.

"Yang Yuan, can we talk?"

"Sure!"

Watching the two leave, the others wore curious expressions.

They walked to an empty corner, where they stood facing each other.

After a moment of silence, Dugu Yan spoke. "Is your Martial Soul really immune to poison?"

Her voice was filled with hesitation and inquiry.

Yang Yuan smiled calmly. "At least your snake venom has no effect on me. None at all."

After saying that, he could clearly sense Dugu Yan's breathing quicken.

She had obviously suffered quite a blow.

In Dugu Yan's eyes, Yang Yuan's Soul Power Level was lower than hers, yet her snake venom had no effect on him.

Once Yang Yuan's level rose in the future, would her snake venom not become even more useless before him?

Even now, Dugu Yan did not believe Yang Yuan's Martial Soul could grant complete Poison Immunity.

If it were her grandfather's snake venom instead, Yang Yuan definitely would not be able to resist it.

Just as Dugu Yan's emotions grew complicated, Yang Yuan's next words suddenly made her expression change drastically.

"Classmate Dugu, if I'm not mistaken, you've been poisoned, haven't you?"

Dugu Yan's pupils abruptly contracted.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul came with potent poison, allowing its wielder to release snake venom during attacks.

But before her grandfather's time, there had been no signs of poisoning among the Dugu Family.

However, her grandfather possessed extraordinary talent and improved the Dugu Family's Poison Art.

That was to say, the Dugu Family's Meditation Method.

Although the results were remarkable, the Poison Art that her grandfather had modified through his own efforts contained a massive flaw.

It was precisely this flaw that caused her grandfather, a master of poison, to have his body eroded by toxins through years of cultivation, leaving him able to suppress them only with his formidable cultivation.

Not only that, these toxins could also be passed down to later generations.

This caused her father to die young, leaving her grandfather to bury his own son and live in lifelong regret.

Even she had inherited these terrifying toxins.

And throughout her cultivation, those terrible toxins were gradually eroding her body.

The color of her hair was the most obvious sign of the toxins invading her body.

Moreover, her purple hair faintly emitted the fishy stench of toxin corrosion, forcing her to conceal it with strong perfume.

"What have you seen?"

Dugu Yan glanced around, her pretty face grave and her tone carrying a hint of nervousness.

This already involved the Dugu Clan's secret.

After all, who would have thought that a family that wielded poison would ultimately be corroded by poison itself?

Dugu Yan herself did not care, but if people learned that her grandfather was also afflicted by severe poison, it would be dangerous.

Seeing Dugu Yan tense up instantly, Yang Yuan said with complete confidence, "Classmate Dugu, I know everything I need to know. Don't be nervous."

Dugu Yan could not help but complain inwardly.

That's exactly why I should be nervous, okay?

"Tell me. What will it take for you to keep this secret?"

Dugu Yan asked in a low voice.

Clearly, Dugu Yan was not ruthless enough.

If it had been Tang San, this would have been the moment to say, "You already have a path to death."

Yang Yuan scratched his head.

"I never said I was going to spread this secret around."

"Besides..."

"Besides what?" Dugu Yan hurriedly asked, sensing that something was different.

Yang Yuan chuckled softly, looking at Dugu Yan with complete confidence.

"Besides, the toxins in Classmate Dugu's body shouldn't be difficult to deal with."

After hearing this, Dugu Yan merely snorted coldly, giving Yang Yuan no pleasant expression as she said irritably,

"My grandfather is a Titled Douluo, as well as one of the greatest poison masters in the world."

"If my problem were so easy to solve, wouldn't he have solved it himself?"

But after Dugu Yan finished speaking, she found that Yang Yuan still wore the same confident expression.

That display of confidence made Dugu Yan's heart skip a beat.

An inexplicable thought arose in her heart.

Could Yang Yuan...

really have a way to resolve the toxin erosion in her body?

Yang Yuan grinned.

"All things in the world restrain one another. What your grandfather cannot solve, I may not be unable to solve."

"At the very least, resolving your problem would be effortless for me."

At those words, Dugu Yan trembled violently.

Disbelief appeared on her face, along with the faintest trace of hope.

After a long while, she slowly uttered several words.

"Is that true?"

Hearing this, joy flashed in Yang Yuan's eyes.

The fish has taken the bait!

Of course, Yang Yuan truly was confident that he could resolve Dugu Yan's problem.

"Whether it's true or not, won't you know once I've cured you?"

That single sentence immediately raised Yang Yuan's credibility considerably.

At least, Dugu Yan truly believed him at that moment.

Joy overflowed across her pretty face. Excitedly, she grabbed Yang Yuan's hands, and her tone instantly became much more intimate.

"Yang Yuan's Younger Brother, if you can resolve Sister Dugu's problem, then from now on, you'll be the great benefactor of our Dugu Family."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

"Sister Dugu's problem can be resolved today."

Dugu Yan was startled.

"So soon?"

"Yang Yuan's Younger Brother, don't you need to prepare anything first?"

Yang Yuan looked confident.

"There's no need to make it so troublesome."

"Sister Dugu, come with me."

"I said I'd cure you today, so I won't drag it into tomorrow."
