Douluo: So You're Called a Theory Master

Even things that could not be used could be passed down to future generations.

Once he was certain it was feasible, he brought Dugu Yan over to examine her condition.

The Extreme Research Institute's examination would also provide a better understanding of Dugu Yan's current state.

[Poison Body Method]

After gaining a research direction and abundant resources, Dugu Bo had developed his own ideas as well.

He had his own understanding of his poisons in particular.

He was also highly knowledgeable about medicine, especially poison.

There were also people cooperating with him on how to develop resistance.

Because he was busy, he handed the matter of bringing people in directly to the Research Institute.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

A ten-man squad from the Extreme Research Institute arrived and issued a notice.

Dugu Yan had short, deep-purple hair and looked exceptionally heroic. Her delicate features carried an alluringly sinister charm.

Her green eyes were especially unusual, somewhat similar to Dugu Bo's.

"Extreme Research Institute?"

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"I have nothing to do with them, do I?"

"Could they be looking for Lingling instead?"

When she received the news, Dugu Yan was rather puzzled.

Ye Lingling's grandfather had some cooperation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but Dugu Yan had no connection to them.

She had heard of the Extreme Research Institute's reputation from some time ago, but she felt it had nothing to do with her.

"This is the letter they sent over. They said it was delivered on Poison Douluo's orders."

The people from Heaven Dou Royal Academy quickly explained the situation.

Dugu Yan immediately took the letter, then swiftly closed it again.

"What is going on?"

"Thank you for the trouble. I'll head over right away."

After examining it carefully, she confirmed that it was indeed her grandfather's handwriting, along with a special mark he had left behind.

After sending the visitors away, Dugu Yan returned directly to the Imperial Heaven Team and found their instructor, Qin Ming.

"You want to take leave?"

Not only Qin Ming, but the other members of the Imperial Heaven Team also looked at her in surprise.

After all, she had always been one of the hardest-working members of the team.

"My grandfather needs me for something."

Dugu Yan did not explain much further.

After explaining the situation, she quickly left the academy with the people from the Extreme Research Institute.

The other Imperial Heaven Team members did not know what to say.

Especially their captain, Yu Tianheng. As he watched Dugu Yan disappear, he had no chance to say anything more before she was gone.

Later, they learned some details from the guards of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Dugu Yan had gone to the Extreme Research Institute, over at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

This surprised Yu Tianheng.

"Teacher Qin, the Extreme Research Institute will publicly demonstrate absorbing ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings in a few days. Can our academy go?"

Though it was said to be public, ordinary people did not know about such matters. Only the major powers were aware of them.

Yu Tianheng naturally knew.

Qin Ming had also learned some details.

"We'll send people over to take a look."

"You're interested in that too?"

Qin Ming was also hesitating over whether to go.

The main reason was that their students were already Soul Elders. Even if those theories were useful, they could no longer be used on them.

But as a teacher—and once a little monster himself—he was somewhat interested in such concepts that surpassed the limits.

"I want to go. If the academy goes, I'll go with them. If not, I'll have my family take me."

Yu Tianheng spoke directly.

"Then let's go together."

Seeing Yu Tianheng's serious expression, Qin Ming went along with it.

It would not waste much time anyway, and they could see for themselves what this so-called limit truly was.

Soon, the Imperial Heaven Team had one more activity added to their schedule.

Dugu Yan soon returned with the Extreme Research Institute's team. Along the way, she asked them about the Research Institute. They answered whatever they were permitted to say.

After all, they knew her identity. Since a Titled Douluo grandfather had joined their Research Institute, she was practically one of their own.

"Joining the Extreme Research Institute? Grandfather?"

Dugu Yan was extremely surprised and wanted to find her grandfather immediately to get a clear answer.

Her grandfather had joined a faction?

He had not been threatened, had he?

But when she recalled the letter, she felt there might be another possibility.

Thinking of that possibility, Dugu Yan's heart began pounding.

After entering the Research Institute, Dugu Yan was taken directly to the Cultivation Technique Testing Area.

Dugu Bo now stayed here every day, testing all kinds of cultivation techniques.

From time to time, the Research Institute would drag him out to test his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison.

"Grandfather~"

When she saw her grandfather again, Dugu Yan cried out excitedly.

He seemed to have become a little younger.

His figure had grown taller and straighter, no longer as stiff as usual.

This was actually because the cultivation techniques had shown some effects these past few days. Though they had not been completely successful, Dugu Bo had indeed gained partial control over his poison.

That was also why he had called Dugu Yan here.

"My little darling, Yanyan, you've finally arrived."

When he saw Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo, the old man who usually kept a stiff expression, revealed a faint smile.

It was somewhat different from usual.

In the past, seeing his granddaughter made his heart ache. He worried that she would be unable to endure it and be poisoned to death by his poison at a young age.

But now, he was full of energy every day. He could see hope and had taken another step toward his goal.

"What is going on?"

"Grandfather."

"You really joined the Extreme Research Institute?"

Once Dugu Yan confirmed that her grandfather was all right, she immediately asked.

She was somewhat worried.

"I did indeed join."

"I'll explain the details later. Come with me first. I'll help you examine your condition."

Dugu Bo was already very familiar with this place.

He directly took Dugu Yan away for a complete, thorough examination.

Dugu Yan could only comply.

The people who had returned to the Research Institute directly reported the news to Ning Qinghe.

He did not care about such a trivial matter.

Nor was he interested in disturbing a grandfather and granddaughter's reunion.

Given the current situation, it was best if Dugu Bo went without saying, and Dugu Yan also developed a sense of approval toward this place.

"More and more unfamiliar people are appearing in Seven Treasure City now."
