Life Energy Purifies the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison, Dugu Bo Takes the Bait

Facing Dugu Bo's question, Chu Chen wore a faint, composed smile. He withdrew the Blue Silver Emperor and explained, "My Blue Silver Grass possesses a certain degree of poison immunity by nature, and the Spirit Rings I absorbed all have a life attribute."

"Therefore, Life Aura has fused with my body. While granting immunity to deadly poison, it also prevents poison from corroding me. Dugu Yan's poison is indeed overbearing, but it is not enough to affect me."

Hearing Chu Chen speak so dismissively of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison, Dugu Bo was somewhat displeased. "Heh... Blue Silver Grass with a life attribute? I have never heard that a life attribute could grant immunity to deadly poison."

He was exceptionally confident in the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison.

It could even be said that across the entire continent, few were more skilled with poison than he was. When it came to poison, he absolutely had the right to speak!

Yet now, some junior had so casually claimed immunity to the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison. How could he tolerate that?

"Senior may bear the title of poison, but the world is vast, and there are countless methods of detoxification. How can you be so certain?" Chu Chen asked with a smile, unafraid of Dugu Bo's pressure.

Dugu Bo sneered. With a flick of his finger, he condensed a ball of even more tyrannical Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison. His poison was far more overbearing than Dugu Yan's, for what he possessed was the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor!

"Since you are so confident, prove it to me. I will not make things difficult for you."

Facing the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison condensed by Dugu Bo, Chu Chen gathered Life Aura at his fingertips. Amid the embrace of Blue-Gold Light, the Blue Silver Emperor blossomed, growing ever more radiant.

He raised his hand and enveloped the poison Dugu Bo had condensed with the surging Blue Silver life force within him!

This was undoubtedly a contest between Ultimate Life and deadly poison. Under Chu Chen's control, the Life Energy was compressed to its limit as he simultaneously unleashed the Blue Silver Emperor's devouring and purifying power.

No matter how potent the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison was, it would be continuously filtered and purified by the surging life force. Chu Chen was merely applying the purification power of the Blue Silver Domain here.

"Hmm?"

Dugu Bo frowned. He sensed that something was wrong.

Though this was only an insignificant amount of poison he had condensed to test Chu Chen, it was genuine Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison. How could its toxicity weaken the moment it came into contact with this brat's Blue Silver Grass?

Has this brat cultivated some kind of wicked technique? Why does it feel like my poison has been absorbed? Though Dugu Bo appeared as calm as an ancient well, stormy waves had already risen within his heart.

When Chu Chen withdrew the Blue Silver Emperor, Dugu Bo discovered in shock that the poison he had condensed had turned into pure energy. Where had the poison gone?

"Hey, how did you do that? That's impossible."

Dugu Bo refused to believe it, while Chu Chen explained, "I already told you, Senior. I used my undying, indestructible life force to devour and purify your deadly poison."

"Fortunately, Senior only condensed a spark of poison to test me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been powerless."

Dugu Bo's tone remained icy. "Nonsense. If you could truly neutralize my poison, would I not become a joke?"

Chu Chen smacked his lips, and a fleeting look of triumph crossed his face. He raised his eyes toward Dugu Bo, seeming as though he wanted to speak but hesitated, drawing Dugu Bo's attention.

"If you have something to say, say it. Keep me in suspense, and I'll slap you."

Chu Chen smiled awkwardly. "I was merely curious. Why hasn't Senior detoxified Dugu Yan?"

"What?"

Dugu Bo was greatly shocked. The instantaneous burst of his aura even made the ground beneath their feet tremble. Sensing the massive boulder in the distance instantly turn to dust, Chu Chen sighed inwardly. A Title Douluo's strength truly was terrifying.

A mere unconscious eruption of aura had caused such a terrifying result.

"What do you mean by that? Yan Yan has been poisoned?"

Dugu Bo understood better than anyone what Chu Chen meant, but he still chose to probe. Seeing that Dugu Bo had taken the bait, Chu Chen continued, "My Blue Silver Grass is special. When I fought Dugu Yan earlier... I sensed the deadly poison within her body."

"That should be Inherited Poison she had carried since birth. Just now, I also sensed it within Senior's body, and it is even more terrifying."

Dugu Bo's tone had become somewhat urgent. Staring at Chu Chen, he asked impatiently, "That is indeed Inherited Poison. Judging by your expression, do you have a way to cure it?"

Chu Chen said with some difficulty, "I can cure it, but..."

"But what?" Dugu Bo had seen Chu Chen's methods. The latter had purified his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison with ordinary Blue Silver Grass and had even identified the deadly poison inside both him and Dugu Yan.

This made Dugu Bo believe that this brat truly had some skill!

With Dugu Yan's life at stake, Dugu Bo naturally did not dare to be negligent.

"Dugu Yan's poison is easier to deal with. Our strength is not too far apart, and she has not been poisoned for long. I am confident I can remove it for her. But Senior has been poisoned for many years, and the poison has seeped into your bones and marrow... Furthermore, Senior is a Title Douluo."

Chu Chen emphasized, "I believe that with the aid of medicinal herbs, I can control the poison within Senior's body. Perhaps... it may even allow Senior to break through in one stroke."

Dugu Bo's gaze turned fiery. He grabbed Chu Chen by the shoulders and asked pensively, "Is that true?"

"Does Senior think I am boasting to you?" Chu Chen looked at Dugu Bo helplessly.

"You certainly do not have the nerve. The consequences of deceiving me are ten thousand times more terrifying than death." Dugu Bo spoke coldly, his voice especially chilling in the desolate night sky.

Chu Chen laughed loudly. Then he faced Dugu Bo and said seriously, "If Senior can find some precious medicinal herbs rich in life force, I am confident enough to give it a try."

"I am merely an independent cultivator who happens to possess such an ability. If I can earn the favor of a Title Douluo like Senior, I would be more than delighted."

Chu Chen's candid words added a few degrees of credibility in Dugu Bo's eyes. Dugu Bo seemed to think of something and asked, "Can your Blue Silver Grass identify medicinal herbs with life force?"

"Of course it can." Chu Chen nodded.

Dugu Bo smiled faintly. "Then you need not worry. I have a Herb Garden with countless medicinal herbs. Just come with me."

Chu Chen waved his hand and refused. "Senior, don't forget that we are going to Suotuo City tomorrow."

Dugu Bo: "..."

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched. With a stiff expression, he said, "Fine, then I'll go to Suotuo City with you. You can find an opportunity to detoxify Yan Yan. If you succeed, you will be my, Dugu Bo's, brother."

"If you fail, I'll grind your bones to ashes!"

With that, Dugu Bo returned to the academy with Chu Chen. After rejoining the others and waiting until dawn, the group set off for the distant Suotuo City.
