Su Ze condensed a large amount of Lightning Attribute Soul Power in his hand.
Lightning naturally possessed high temperatures, and as the Soul Power continued to condense.
Soon, the whale rubber began to melt under the high temperature, and its original faint Golden luster was also revealed.
At the same time, a strange fragrance wafted through the dormitory.
Smelling the fragrance, Su Ze also began to anticipate the taste of this Golden whale rubber.
As the high temperature continued to melt it, the Golden whale rubber finally turned into a lump of soft mud.
Su Ze swallowed it in one gulp.
Immediately after, the stench of incredibly foul rotten meat flooded his mouth.
Damn, is this whale rubber this smelly?
Almost instinctively, Su Ze wanted to vomit it out.
I can't spit it out, this cost 5000 Gold Soul Coins.
Relying on his willpower, Su Ze endured the churning taste buds and forcefully swallowed all the whale rubber.
As he swallowed it all, almost instantly, Su Ze felt a fiery sensation spread through his body.
That scorching sensation made Su Ze's mouth and throat dry, and countless distracting thoughts surfaced in his mind.
Countless beautiful women he had seen in his past and present lives appeared in his mind.
As expected of something meant for the bed, this feeling.
Su Ze thought and directly surged his lightning, fiercely electrocuting himself.
Using the pain from the lightning strikes, Su Ze broke free from the distracting thoughts.
After regaining a brief moment of clarity, Su Ze directly entered a Meditation state.
Inside his body, Sikong Zhen Martial Soul began to absorb the power of the whale rubber.
The powerful force began to continuously strengthen Sikong Zhen Martial Soul, while also refining Su Ze's Body Strength and Tendons and Bones.
Just as Su Ze entered the Meditation state and began to continuously strengthen his body.
At this moment, a figure silently appeared behind Su Ze.
This figure was gaunt, with hair and beard of a strange Ink Green color, and a pair of eyes like vipers in the night, emitting a deep glow.
Dugu Bo's green Pupils looked at Su Ze, who was covered in electricity, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
As a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo's knowledge was certainly unparalleled on the continent.
But this was the first time he had seen such a peculiar Lightning Attribute Martial Soul as Su Ze's.
Lightning covered his entire body during meditation.
More importantly, this kid actually directly consumed whale rubber. Was he trying to blow himself up?
But why was this kid's Body Strength increasing?
As the Poison Douluo who dominated the world, Dugu Bo was very knowledgeable about pharmacology.
So the moment he smelled Su Ze, he knew what Su Ze had just consumed.
According to current medical knowledge, consuming Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber would most likely cause bodily damage.
But what made Dugu Bo extremely curious was that Su Ze's body was completely fine at this moment.
Instead, his Body Strength was becoming even stronger.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo sensed Su Ze's formidable Body Strength.
A thought suddenly popped into his mind: Could this kid's extremely strong Body Strength be due to the whale rubber?
This was a major discovery!
A hint of greed immediately appeared in Dugu Bo's emerald green eyes.
If this were true, he could make a fortune with this information in the future.
With that thought, Dugu Bo no longer hesitated. He grabbed Su Ze's meditating body and instantly disappeared.
The matter of the whale rubber was an unexpected bonus.
His true purpose was to understand the issue of martial soul defects.
This was his real reason for coming here.
Under the effect of the whale rubber, Su Ze had already entered a state of deep digestion.
However, his consciousness was completely clear, and he sensed Dugu Bo the moment he appeared.
But upon sensing the familiar toxins, Su Ze immediately understood who had arrived.
So he let Dugu Bo take him away.
He himself focused on digesting the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber.
Accompanying the complete digestion of the ten-thousand-year whale jelly, Su Ze's physical strength also greatly improved.
It directly increased by 5 levels.
His physical strength jumped from the Soul Elder (35) to the Soul Master (40).
Moreover, Su Ze could still sense that the ten-thousand-year whale jelly within his body had not been completely digested.
Once it was fully digested, his physical strength could advance even further.
After sensing the improvement in his body, Su Ze slowly opened his eyes.
He immediately found himself in a damp cave, with a foul, poisonous smell permeating the air around him.
The instant Su Ze opened his eyes, a withered, bony old hand silently appeared on his shoulder.
The moment he sensed movement on his body, Su Ze's Sikong Zhen martial soul immediately auto-attached.
Powerful lightning instantly spread throughout his entire body.
Two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, appeared around him.
The powerful lightning illuminated the entire cave, and Su Ze retreated with its light.
By the light of the lightning, Su Ze saw clearly the person who had placed a hand on him, with that unique appearance, green hair and beard.
It was none other than Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo looked at Su Ze, surrounded by a yellow and a purple soul ring, and said with surprise.
"It seems the whale jelly really has the ability to enhance physical strength."
"I checked your information; you brat, an orphan, could absorb a thousand-year soul ring as your second."
"It seems you ate quite a bit of whale jelly before."
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Su Ze knew that his previous act of consuming the whale jelly had led Dugu Bo to guess its use.
He didn't care about that.
Moreover, as long as his plan succeeded, Dugu Bo would be his backer.
If he knew, he knew.
"Greetings, Senior Dugu Bo."
Su Ze bowed.
"You recognize this old man?"
Dugu Bo's stiffened face froze. He hadn't expected Su Ze to guess his identity so quickly.
"The toxins on Senior Dugu are exactly the same as Senior Dugu Yan's!"
"It was naturally easy for this junior to guess."
Hearing Su Ze's words, Dugu Bo chuckled, then his expression darkened. Powerful emerald green Soul Power surged into the sky.
The pressure of a Titled Douluo directly oppressed Su Ze, making it hard for him to breathe.
With unparalleled momentum, Dugu Bo took a step, and in the next moment, he appeared before Su Ze.
His emerald green eyes stared at Su Ze like those of a viper.
"I'm very curious! Junior!"
"Who gave you the guts to dare deceive a Titled Douluo?"
As he spoke, Su Ze felt a chill all over his body, and veins bulged on his body and arms.
It was obvious that Su Ze's entire body was now being eroded by toxins.
Sensing his physical condition, Su Ze knew his true test had arrived.
Whether he could make Dugu Bo his protector in the future and obtain all the Immortal Herbs depended on his actions now.
"This junior doesn't understand what Senior Dugu is saying."
Looking at Su Ze, who remained calm, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with surprise.
This kid could actually withstand his pressure.
He had some skill!
Perhaps he really had a solution.
In the blink of an eye, Dugu Bo's killing intent surged again.
The toxins on Su Ze's body erupted once more, almost to the point of suffocation.
"You, a mere Soul Grand Master, can resolve the defect of a Titled Douluo's Martial Soul?"
"You're not deceiving me, what are you doing??"
Seeing Dugu Bo's extremely cold tone.
The defect of his Jade Scale Snake Martial Soul was something he had always carefully hidden.
After all, when the toxins erupted, he was at his weakest.
For several months out of the year, he had to go to his Medicine Garden to use the special magnetic field there to suppress his own toxins.
At this moment, this weakness was exposed by Su Ze.
If Su Ze couldn't give him a reasonable explanation for this matter, or if he had no way to resolve the defect in his Martial Soul.
Then this young man would turn into fertilizer to nourish the herbs in his Medicine Garden.
Facing the terrifying pressure of a Titled Douluo, Su Ze met Dugu Bo's gaze without fear.
"Senior Dugu... Senior!"
"I really have a way to resolve the defect in your Martial Soul."
"If Senior doesn't want Miss Yan Yan to be troubled by toxins from now on, then kill me..."
Upon hearing Yan Yan's name.
The terrifying pressure and killing intent paused slightly.
Immediately after, the pressure and the toxins within Su Ze's body receded like a tide.
The moment Dugu Bo withdrew his terrifying killing intent, Su Ze immediately took deep breaths.
This was the first time in Su Ze's life that he had directly faced the killing intent of a Douluo-level expert.
It made him feel for the first time what it was like to be a fish on a chopping block.
His life was completely out of his control.
This feeling also strengthened Su Ze's belief in becoming a strong person.
He didn't want to experience this feeling a second time.
After withdrawing his killing intent, Dugu Bo looked at Su Ze in front of him and slowly spoke.
"First, tell me, how did you determine that my Dugu family's Jade Scale Snake Martial Soul has a defect?"
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Su Ze knew this was his first test.
He had to reasonably explain how he knew this.
Su Ze had already prepared for this. After calming his breath, he spoke.
"The reason is very simple. I deduced it. The Jade Scale Snake Martial Soul has a long heritage and is a top-tier beast Martial Soul."
"Coupled with having a Titled Douluo like you, Dugu Bo, as a backer."
"Logically speaking, it should have been like the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Souls, maintaining neutrality."
"The Jade Scale Snake Martial Soul is only possessed by you and Senior Dugu Yan."
"Then the conclusion is simple. Like my master's Nine Hearts Begonia, the Martial Soul has suffered heavenly jealousy and has a huge flaw."
Hearing Su Ze's words, Dugu Bo thought of the relatives he had lost, and his originally cold eyes softened.
Because of the Jade Scale Snake Poison, he lost his parents, his wife, his son, and his daughter-in-law.
Only one granddaughter was left.
If it could truly be resolved, he would be willing to exchange anything.
Even then, he didn't need to be cured, as long as Yan Yan could be cured.
Seeing the change in Dugu Bo's eyes, Su Ze knew he had passed the first hurdle, and the rest would be simple.
"And I once learned how to resolve the heavenly jealousy of Martial Souls by chance from an ancient book."
"However, I only know the method, but it requires some legendary medicinal herbs."
"That's why I've come to Senior Dugu Bo, hoping Senior Dugu can help me search for them."
"As long as you can prove what you're saying is true, this old man will not only let you go, but I will also grant you three conditions."
Dugu Bo's gaze locked onto Su Ze.
He was now incredibly eager for the little brat in front of him to utter something that could change his fate.
Seeing that Dugu Bo had already made a promise, Su Ze spoke the words he had prepared long ago.
"Of course, but we need to find that treasure land. That treasure land is a Land of Ice and Fire, filled with countless precious Immortal Herbs, including something that can help Senior."
"Wait, what did you say? A Land of Ice and Fire?"
"Show me that ancient book. Let me see how it introduces it."
Dugu Bo became agitated upon hearing about the Land of Ice and Fire.
"Senior, I saw that ancient book in a cave."
"As soon as I left the cave, it was completely destroyed and turned to ash."
After Su Ze finished speaking, Dugu Bo immediately cursed.
"You ignorant fool! Any ancient book buried underground for a long time needs to be sealed for preservation!"
"If it's casually brought out into the open, it will be directly damaged."
Although Dugu Bo didn't understand the principle of paper oxidation.
As a Titled Douluo, he understood common knowledge about antiques.
He had finally seen a glimmer of hope.
Only to have it ruined by that idiot kid, Su Ze.
Facing Dugu Bo's rage, Su Ze smiled inwardly, knowing he had secured it. He immediately said:
"Senior, there's no need to be so angry. Although that ancient text was destroyed, I have already recorded its contents."
"As long as Senior can find that Ice Fire Treasure Land, I can immediately begin helping Senior detoxify."
Upon hearing this, the annoyed and furious expression on Dugu Bo's face froze. Then, his eyes erupted with dazzling brilliance.
"Kid, your life is not meant to end!"
"Ice Fire Treasure Land, right? Follow me."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo strode out of the cave.
Su Ze also walked out without any hesitation.
After exiting the cave, Su Ze's eyes lit up, as a special zone of intertwined ice and fire immediately appeared before him.
It was precisely the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye he had been longing for during this time.
Dugu Bo directly grabbed Su Ze's hand, then with a casual leap, he took Su Ze and jumped down from the cave, at least a hundred meters above the ground.
After landing steadily, Dugu Bo pointed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye before him and said.
"Kid, is my Medicine Garden the treasure land you mentioned?"
"The Immortal Herbs you spoke of should be these medicinal herbs growing on the ground, right?"
"Feel free to use whatever you need. As long as it can save me, you can use all the herbs in the Medicine Garden."
Looking at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye before him, Su Ze finished his act.
"To think Senior would have such good luck! This is actually one of the three great treasure lands on the continent mentioned in the ancient text, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye."
"Three great treasure lands? Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye?"
"No wonder I could suppress the Jade Scale Snake Poison on my body by being here."
A hint of realization appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"Alright, kid, the treasure land you mentioned has been found."
"Tell me, what method do you have to treat my snake poison?"
"As long as you can cure the Jade Scale Snake Poison, my promise still stands."
"If you dare to lie to me, I don't mind testing the limits of the Jade Scale Snake Poison on you."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo looked at Su Ze with expectant eyes.
Facing Dugu Bo's expectant gaze, Su Ze said confidently.
"Don't worry, Senior Dugu. From today onwards, you and Miss Yan Yan will not repeat the mistakes of your predecessors."
"The flaws in your Dugu family's martial souls will end here at my hands."
