Douluo: Poisonous Tongue, Loves Telling the Truth

"Zhuqing! Zhuqing! Wake up!"

"Oscar, Big Sausage! Hurry!"

Zhuqing was being supported by Flender, and one could see her complexion had already begun to turn distinctly purple; this was the most classic symptom of poisoning.

Recalling that Sleeve Arrow, he looked back toward the spot where Tang San had been, only to find that the other party had long since vanished.

"Damn it! Tang San again!"

"Dai Mubai! Do you have no brain? She is your fiancée!"

Seeing Zhuqing lose consciousness, the fallen Dai Mubai began to laugh maniacally, his mouth continuously cursing the other party.

Oscar hurried over from the edge of the battlefield, producing several Big Sausages and Small Sausages in one breath.

The sausages transformed into pure energy, flowing into Zhuqing's abdomen.

In the past, Oscar's second soul skill had been quite effective at removing negative effects, and Flender had expected some improvement, but Zhuqing's complexion remained grim.

"Find Tang San and ask him exactly what kind of poison this is!"

"Ma Hongjun, go quickly!"

Receiving Flender's order, Ma Hongjun immediately activated his Martial Soul Avatar and chased in the direction Tang San had originally headed.

"Damn it! Dai Mubai, what kind of poison is this! Speak!"

"Don't waste your breath. This is a Mixed Poison newly developed by Tang San; there is no antidote!"

Dai Mubai's words caused Flender's heart to sink to the bottom, leaving him no choice but to continue increasing his soul power output to Zhuqing to stabilize her current condition.

"She is your fiancée, how could you bear to lay a hand on her!"

"Fiancée? I would never marry second-hand goods!"

As he said this, Dai Mubai's eyes were filled with disgust and madness.

The dignified Third Prince of Star Luo had been repeatedly provoked by a woman.

Hmph! So what if she is beautiful? So what if she has a good figure? As long as it is something he cannot obtain, it only has one path: death.

Seeing that Dai Mubai was impervious to reason and refused to cooperate by revealing the method to detoxify her, Flender turned to look at Xiao Wu.

"Go find Xia Ran!"

"Oh, okay!"

Xiao Wu hurried toward the back mountain. Upon arriving in front of the wooden house, she discovered that Xia Ran was inside a black barrier, so she had no choice but to shout loudly at the barrier, attempting to wake the person inside.

"Xia Ran! Something happened to Zhuqing!"

"Xia Ran..."

In the midst of fusing with the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, he could not perceive any sound from the outside world at all.

After Xiao Wu shouted for quite a while, there was still no reaction, leaving her pacing in place, anxious...

On the other side.

Zhuqing had been carried to the dormitory by the others. At this moment, her face was dark, her life force was extremely weak, and she was hanging on by a thread of willpower!

The healing-type soul master who had been invited was only level 45 and could only stabilize her current vital signs.

The wound on her back was a minor issue; the most important thing was that the toxins had already invaded her internal organs, and the only person who could cure the poison had fled to avoid punishment.

"Xia Ran..."

In her hazy state of consciousness, the young girl was still muttering Xia Ran's name.

Perhaps it was the help Xia Ran had given her in recent days, or perhaps it was the words Xia Ran had spoken that night before; regardless, in Zhuqing's consciousness, that person's figure kept lingering.

He clearly promised her that he would face it with her!

I defeated Dai Mubai; from now on, I am only myself!

Xia Ran...

It was not until evening that Xia Ran, inside the barrier, finally completed the absorption of the soul bone.

Although the energy of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was immense, the reward provided by the system was perfectly compatible with his martial soul, so there were no obstacles during the absorption. He had spent the entire day sorting out the energy of the soul bone.

Slowly opening his eyes, a golden and black light captured the soul, and the pure dark energy around his body continued to rise, finally converging within his body!

A sense of power welled up spontaneously. Xia Ran clenched his fists and carefully felt his physical state.

This was the most relaxed day his body had felt since he arrived on the Douluo Continent.

The hidden injuries left behind by years of fighting and cultivation were all wiped away, and his control over dark elements while in his Martial Soul Avatar state was even more adept.

With a smile on his lips, Xia Ran dispelled the barrier.

Just as he wanted to test the effect of his soul bone skill, he suddenly saw the young girl crouching in front of him.

"Xiao Wu? What are you doing here?"

Hearing his voice, Xiao Wu was first startled, then her face filled with excitement.

She had been waiting here for an entire day. During this time, Flender had come to see her and told her only to keep waiting here, and the moment Xia Ran woke up, she was to tell him what had happened today.

"Xia Ran, hurry, something happened to Zhuqing!"

"She keeps muttering your name..."

Facing Xiao Wu's anxiety, Xia Ran was completely bewildered!

"What's the situation? What happened?"

"Just come with me, I'll explain on the way."

Seeing Xiao Wu so anxious, Xia Ran realized that something major might have occurred.

"Where is she?"

"The girls' dormitory!"

As the words fell, Xia Ran enveloped Xiao Wu in dark elements and activated Shadow Escape, arriving at the entrance of the girls' dormitory in just a few breaths.

Inside the room, Flender sensed a dark aura and knew that Xia Ran had arrived.

He just didn't know why this aura felt far more formidable than before, even on par with his own as a Soul Saint.

Pushing open the door, the moment Xia Ran entered, he saw Zhuqing lying on the bed, her complexion blackened and her expression pained.

"What's going on?"

There were two level-40-something healing soul masters beside her, seemingly taking turns to maintain her vital signs.

Shaoxing and Oscar were feeding her food from time to time.

Facing Xia Ran's inquiry, Xiao Wu explained from the side.

"Dai Mubai used a hidden weapon to ambush Zhuqing during a spar, and the weapon was poisoned!"

A spar! Xia Ran suddenly remembered he had promised Zhuqing yesterday that he would accompany her, and a wave of guilt surged in his heart.

On second thought, why did Dai Mubai have a hidden weapon? It was Tang San again!

"Where is Tang San? Make him come and provide the antidote!"

Xia Ran looked up at Flender; with such a great Dean here, could he not solve a simple problem like this?

Feeling the sharp gaze, Flender lowered his head, feeling guilty.

"Speak! Where did Tang San go?"

Xia Ran's tone carried a sense of oppression, and Ma Hongjun was the first to buckle under the pressure, speaking up.

"He... was taken away by Yu Xiaogang. I went to chase him, but..."

"I couldn't beat him..."

As the words fell, Xia Ran frowned.

He escaped? And he escaped even with Ma Hongjun trying to stop him?

He didn't even take Xiao Wu with him, he just fled?

And that Yu Xiaogang...

At this moment, Xia Ran had not yet deactivated his Martial Soul Avatar. His heterochromatic eyes stared fixedly at the figures opposite him, and due to his agitation, terrifying dark energy radiated from his body!

"Flender, are you satisfied now?"

"You told me to give Tang San a chance! Is this what you meant—letting him continue to hurt people?"

"Now that he knows he's caused trouble, it'll be hard to find him again. How do you feel about leaving such a menace in the soul master world?"

"If he continues to develop these poisons and hidden weapons, and scatters them across the continent, do you have any idea what the consequences will be!"

As he finished speaking, the terrifying aura around Xia Ran erupted, startling all the old guys present!

When did this kid become so strong? Judging by this momentum, he was almost catching up to Flender and Zhao Wuji!

Flender, the center of the topic, knew he was in the wrong. Under Xia Ran's words, he didn't even dare to lift his head, only standing there in silent regret.

He knew all too well that he had made a grave mistake.

That Tang San possessed various devious methods; soul masters of the same level were no match for him at all. With the disguise of a trash martial soul like Blue Silver Grass, if he wanted to kill someone by surprise, even soul masters two major ranks higher than him could barely defend against it.

Now that he had let the tiger return to the mountains, this menace had entered the soul master world and would inevitably impact the situation across the continent.

Facing Xia Ran's rebuke, he couldn't even find an excuse to argue back.

"You don't need to worry about this matter anymore; I'm taking Zhuqing!"

"Two masters, please trouble yourselves to store more healing-attribute soul power inside her body. At the very least, ensure she doesn't die within the next day."

Xia Ran turned to look at the two healing soul masters. Both were elderly men over a hundred years old who had been practicing medicine in the area for decades and knew each other well.

Following his instructions, a large amount of healing-attribute soul power was infused into Zhuqing's body, which could be said to have temporarily stabilized her condition.

Xia Ran then picked up the young girl. With her delicate body in his arms, he could clearly feel that Zhuqing's body temperature was chillingly low, and she would spasm from time to time.

All of this was enough to show how weak her vital signs were; it was a classic case of toxins invading the internal organs, obstructing the normal functions of various systems, and even making blood circulation a problem.
