Dugu Bo was also watching Su Ye. Or rather, his gaze had not left Su Ye since the moment he entered.
Though he showed nothing on the surface, stormy waves had long been raging in his heart.
Previously, when he had only heard from his granddaughter that Su Ye had defeated Yu Tianheng, he had not thought much of it.
After all, Yu Tianheng was no peerless monster of earth-shattering talent. Though few geniuses could defeat him, they did exist.
But now that he had seen Su Ye in person, he realized just how narrow-minded his earlier thoughts had been.
How could he be described as an ordinary genius? He was clearly a once-in-an-age monster.
At merely twelve or thirteen, his Soul Power had already reached level forty. Moreover, both the intensity of his Soul Power and his physique were absurdly powerful.
Even at Dugu Bo's age, this was the first time he had ever seen such a monster.
That so-called Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan successor, Yu Tianheng, compared to this boy... No, the two were not comparable at all.
The latter was like a radiant moon, while the former was merely a scattering of starlight.
At that moment, he found himself believing a few points more in Su Ye's claim that he could detoxify both him and Yan Yan.
Such a monster could never have been nurtured by an ordinary force.
He must have come from one of those truly reclusive great families, with a long inheritance and vast theoretical knowledge. Perhaps he really could resolve his family's Martial Soul poison.
Thinking this, Dugu Bo forced a somewhat stiff smile onto his old face. "Young friend, I am Dugu Bo. Yan Yan told me that you can resolve the Martial Soul poison in our family?"
Su Ye was not surprised by Dugu Bo's bluntness.
That was simply the kind of person he was. As it happened, Su Ye also disliked beating around the bush. He nodded slightly. "If I am not mistaken, Senior's poison..."
With every sentence Su Ye spoke afterward, Dugu Bo's heart jolted.
There was no other reason: everything Su Ye said was correct. Even certain concealed details were precisely accurate, as though Su Ye had installed some kind of detector inside his body.
At such a young age, his medical skill had already reached such a level. It was truly unbelievable.
Su Ye remained calm in the face of Dugu Bo's shock and the sparkling-eyed gazes of the two girls beside them.
Although he had not studied the True Explanation of Pills in much detail, even the barest surface knowledge from it was a dimensionality-reduction strike against Douluo Continent.
Without exaggeration, setting aside the abilities of Martial Souls, he could now be called the number one physician and number one poison master on Douluo Continent.
As for Dugu Bo's condition, even if he did not remember the immortal herb formulas, he would understand it instantly with a single glance.
"Everything Young Friend said was completely correct."
Dugu Bo suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded heavily.
Then his expression turned solemn. He rose to his feet and clasped his hands slightly toward Su Ye. "I ask that Young Friend lend us your miraculous hand and rid my granddaughter and me of the deadly poison in our bodies. For this, I am willing to pay any price."
If Su Ye had not seemed to be the descendant of a hidden family, Dugu Bo might have been so agitated by now that he would have simply taken Su Ye away by force to detoxify him.
Of course, given his character, if Su Ye truly could detoxify them, he would not mistreat him either.
But now, facing Su Ye, who could detoxify them and had a "background," he truly did not dare make a move.
He could only honestly ask Su Ye for help.
Naturally, Su Ye knew none of this. He was even somewhat surprised. Since when had Old Poison become so rule-abiding?
"Senior, you overstate it!"
"Miss Dugu and I are classmates and friends. By that measure, you are also my elder. Detoxifying you is naturally no problem, but..."
Su Ye paused, pretending to be troubled. "But your condition is not very optimistic. Detoxification will require a large quantity of rare medicinal herbs."
Dugu Bo had been somewhat nervous at first. What he feared most now were words like "but" and "however."
He had finally seen hope. He could not let it turn into despair again!
Fortunately, it was only a false alarm. He had thought it was something serious. Was it not merely medicinal herbs?
He dared not boast about anything else, but he definitely had enough herbs.
Dugu Bo patted his chest and said confidently, "Young Friend, rest assured. I have a medicinal field. Rare herbs may not be everywhere, but there are quite a few. I believe it should be enough."
Hearing this, a glint flashed through Su Ye's eyes.
Here it came!
Had he not rambled on for so long precisely for this?
They had finally gotten to the main point!
"Good. In that case, time is of the essence. Let us head to Senior's medicinal field at once."
Seeing Su Ye act so readily and attentively, Dugu Bo smiled as well. The more he looked Su Ye over, the more satisfied he became.
Not bad, truly not bad. If he became this old man's grandson-in-law... Huh, that was not impossible!
They were only a few years apart. What was the big deal?
Yes, this had great potential. But there was no rush. Detoxification came first.
Neither of them wished to delay any longer. They hit it off immediately and set out on a trip without further ado.
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had a special environment, so Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling naturally did not accompany them.
The two girls watched as the pair gradually departed, each with different thoughts.
There was no need to say anything about Dugu Yan. Her heart was filled with joy and excitement.
Ye Lingling, meanwhile, looked suspiciously toward that blurry, upright figure.
She did not know much about Su Ye, but he definitely did not strike her as someone careless and simple-minded.
He had clearly never openly discussed anything about detoxification with Yan Yan, yet when Senior Dugu spoke earlier, he had not shown the slightest unusual reaction.
No curiosity, no surprise—only calmness.
As though he had known everything all along.
The contradiction before and after was strange. If she had guessed correctly, then he was probably...
Meanwhile, the two left Heaven Dou Royal Academy and headed straight for Sunset Forest.
At first, Dugu Bo had wanted to take Su Ye along, since he was a Titled Douluo and could fly through the air. His efficiency was not something ordinary Soul Masters could compare with.
But who would have expected Su Ye to give him another shock?
"No need. Senior only needs to lead the way."
As Su Ye spoke, a thought stirred in his mind, and the space behind his back twisted slightly.
A pair of wings glimmering with pale silver light condensed from the void, their edges carrying fine ripples of space.
They were none other than the External Soul Bone—Void Wings.
Soul Power surged lightly beneath his feet, and his body abruptly soared into the air. With a gentle beat of his wings, his entire figure became a nearly vanished spatial afterimage.
He was so fast that even the air seemed about to be torn apart.
Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with disbelief.
"An External Soul Bone?!"
"And an exceedingly rare space attribute. This kid..."
Judging by the potential Su Ye had displayed so far, becoming a Titled Douluo was practically certain. He might even have a chance of reaching the heights of the former Two Peaks.
No matter what, he had to secure such a promising prospect.
"Granddaughter... Ah, no, Young Friend Su Ye, this old man..."
Soul Power surged within Dugu Bo's body, and he transformed into a streak of light as he chased after him.
With Dugu Bo leading the way and both of them moving at remarkable speed, they soon arrived before a valley shrouded in poisonous mist.
Looking at the valley before him, Su Ye was immensely excited.
The sacred launchpad of transmigrators had finally arrived!
I hereby solemnly declare that I will soon be able to stop eating beef!
