[Flender: @Everyone, the matter's settled. Dugu Bo was easy enough to handle. Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, here I come!]

[Dumbledore: Thumbs Up.JPG]

At Hogwarts, Dumbledore smiled warmly at the panel before him. As the headmaster of a school, he knew all too well how beneficial a resource-rich forest could be to an academy. Flender had struck it rich this time~

[Samuel Oak: Poison Douluo? Speaking of his poison, Flender, are you planning to use the original method to cure it?]

Professor Oak stroked his chin as a bold idea surfaced in the depths of his mind.

According to the Chat Group's information, abilities from their different worlds would become adapted to other worlds after passing through the Chat Group.

In other words, items and moves from the Pokémon world could be used universally.

[Zephyr: That's good. I used sparring with Garp as an excuse, but that old fellow was knocked out after only a few punches from me. If you need more attacks, just say the word.]

[Flender: Thank you, everyone. If you ever need my help in the future, just say the word.

By the way, there are many Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. I'll pick out suitable ones for everyone.]

After several exchanges, Flender laughed heartily to himself. Dugu Bo was still an unaffiliated Title Douluo, so bringing him into the academy was only a matter of time.

With the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Immortal Herbs within it, Flender had never had such a wonderful start!

[Flender: @Samuel Oak, while the method from the story of forcing the poison into Spirit Bones before detoxifying is quite good, I have an even better idea.

In Senior Yao Chen's world, there is a constitution called the E'nan Poison Body. It can grow stronger by consuming poison. Though once the poison accumulates to a certain point, the body will still explode and perish, this constitution can still be considered naturally blessed in a way.

By coincidence, the inheritance I received also contains similar knowledge. I can transform Dugu Bo's constitution into half an "E'nan Poison Body." In other words, he can grow stronger by consuming poison, though he will need to digest it.

That way, the poison that has seeped into Dugu Bo's marrow and bloodline, poison that even a Title Douluo can only suppress, can be further turned into his own strength.

Simply detoxifying him would be far too wasteful of that terrifying Jade Phosphorous Emperor Serpent poison.]

Flender had his own ideas. After considering the solution from the story—using the icy and fiery poisonous blood formed by consuming the Eight Treasures Mysterious Ice Horn and Infernal Delicate Apricot to balance and control Dugu Bo's poison—he became even more convinced that the poison within Dugu Bo was also a resource.

Such an outstanding powerhouse was someone Flender naturally had to help improve.

[Samuel Oak: Mm, indeed. Actually, my thoughts are fairly similar. Poison is not only used to harm people; it can also be first-rate for healing.]

Professor Oak beamed. After learning about Dugu Bo, he could not help thinking of an old friend.

Agatha, Agatha the Ghost, was said to excel at Ghost-type Pokémon, but Professor Oak understood the true nature of his old friend.

The Pokémon she excelled with—Gengar, Haunter, Gastly, Arbok, Golbat... their common trait was not that they were Ghost-types, but that they were Poison-types!

Rivals often understood each other best, so Professor Oak also knew a great deal about poison.

[Samuel Oak: Here, Pokémon have an Ability called Poison Heal. Pokémon with this Ability not only suffer no harm when poisoned; instead, they heal themselves through the poison.

Abilities are powers born from Pokémon's bodily structures, and for a long time, they were believed to be powers derived from the body.

But after researching Psychic-type Pokémon, Pokémon researchers learned that Abilities could be exchanged through energy.

Flender, are you interested in learning about this power?]

[Flender: Of course! Professor Oak, please lend me a hand. In return, I'll send Dugu Bo's poison to you.]

[Samuel Oak: It's a deal.]

At Oak Research Lab, Professor Oak excitedly swung his arm.

Wonderful. Now, when he saw Agatha again, he would have a gift as an excuse to start a conversation.

[Dumbledore: The same goes for me. If you need it, Flender, I've been collecting Foxy's tears for many years.]

[Zephyr: There's nothing I can do on my end. Fists suit me better. Perhaps... I should collect some Devil Fruit powers as well?]

[Flender: That's true, Zephyr. The more paths one has in life, the more choices there are.

By the way, if any of you want Dugu Bo's poison, I can give each of you some. It has great value for research.]

[Dumbledore: Then I won't stand on ceremony.]

As a legendary wizard, Dumbledore also had his own expertise in alchemy.

[Zephyr: I remember there's a poisonous youngster in Impel Down. Give me some too; perhaps it might help him.]

[Flender: No problem.]

Only give-and-take could make friendship last. Flender had always believed that.

In Sunset Forest, within the devastated Iron Tree Forest, Zhao Wuji slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Flender's enormous face.

"Zhao, you're awake?"

"Mm, I was a little... wait!"

Zhao Wuji suddenly sprang up. He remembered clearly that someone had ambushed him just now.

Who was it!?

Hm?

With a glance, he spotted Dugu Bo beside Flender. The distinctive dark green hair, the aloof face, and that unfathomable aura.

"Po-Poison Douluo! Your Excellency!?"

Zhao Wuji cried out in terror, hurriedly adding the honorific as his heart pounded wildly. How had they run into this man?

"Relax." Flender patted Zhao Wuji on the shoulder. "Although Poison Douluo came with ill intentions, we've now turned enemies into friends."

"Mm."

Dugu Bo reluctantly nodded, then closed his eyes and calmed his breathing, unwilling to say another word.

Zhao Wuji scratched the back of his head. Looking at Dugu Bo, who seemed to be swallowing his pride because he needed something from them, he could not quite understand what was going on.

After a while, Li, Lu, and Shao also woke up. Not long after opening their eyes, they saw Dugu Bo, the cold-faced killing god, and were just as bewildered as Zhao Wuji.

After Flender explained, the four of them reluctantly believed that Dugu Bo had hit it off with him at first sight.

"We should have returned immediately, but now there's another matter to handle. Let's visit Senior Dugu Bo's territory together."

Flender revealed his signature money-grubbing grin, leaving Zhao Wuji and the other four stunned.

Boss, you're even going to covet this!?

At the heart of Sunset Forest lay a basin-shaped valley. It was Dugu Bo's medicinal garden, and also the location of the legendary treasure land, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Bo could walk through the air, while Flender carried his four old brothers with the wind. Before long, they arrived together.

After letting Zhao Wuji and the others rest, Dugu Bo led Flender onward in silence. They did not stop until they reached a patch of extraordinary flowers competing in splendor.

"Now, please tell me—what method do you have to cure my poison?"

Dugu Bo stared intensely at Flender. This was his only hope at the moment.
