Reborn, Divine Fire Phoenix!

After a long while, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Within the spring, Ji Bai remained conscious, actively drawing in the powers of ice and fire.

Even if he did not actively absorb them, the powers of ice and fire would naturally enter his body. However, passive absorption could never compare to actively absorbing them in either quantity or quality.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ji Bai's heart beat with extraordinary vigor, his blood circulated at a madly accelerated pace, every trace of impurity in his body was continuously expelled, and his physical strength rapidly increased.

The ice and fire powers within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had originally remained in peaceful balance, but at that moment, they became extremely chaotic.

The powers of ice and fire crisscrossed above the spring, forming wave after wave of energy storms.

"Hm?"

Dugu Bo, who had only just left and was recuperating inside a cave he had carved out, sensed the disturbance within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and abruptly opened his eyes.

"What is going on?"

He immediately moved, rushing out of the cave and stopping beside the spring. As he stared at the energy storm above the water, his expression changed drastically.

Suddenly, the energy dispersed, and everything became strangely quiet.

Splash—

At the point where the Ice Spring and Fire Spring met, water splashed everywhere as Ji Bai burst out.

The Phoenix Wings on his back fluttered lightly as he hovered in midair.

His long golden-red hair danced in the wind, while his phoenix feathers shone with brilliant golden light.

"Hm?"

Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly contracted. A stranger had emerged from the spring; to him, it was undoubtedly one of the most unbelievable sights in the world.

That spring was something even a Title Douluo could not touch lightly!

Ji Bai stared at Dugu Bo on the shore and thought, My luck isn't very good...

Dugu Bo sized Ji Bai up and down, thinking, He is quite a handsome young man. His Martial Soul should be something like a Fire Phoenix, and his Soul Ring configuration is yellow, purple, purple. He can be considered a peerless genius...

He frowned and asked, "Kid, who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Bai did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at the place where he had left his belongings earlier. Nothing remained there now.

"Could you return my Soul Tool first?"

"Let me put my clothes on."

Dugu Bo cast a sidelong glance toward a corner at the edge, where a pile of belongings lay.

A sharp gleam flashed through his eyes as he said indifferently, "Your things are over there. Go get them yourself."

Ji Bai followed Dugu Bo's gaze but did not act rashly. Instead, he asked, "You won't seize me while I go get my things, will you?"

"Hah!" Dugu Bo said with a disdainful expression. "I am a dignified Title Douluo. Have you not heard of my reputation? Do you think I am that kind of person?"

Ji Bai swept his gaze around and quickly locked onto a particular herb. It had a peculiar appearance, pure white from top to bottom without a speck of dust, shaped like the raised neck of a swan, with a slightly upturned tip like a beak.

Snowy Swan Kiss!

As he returned to shore, he wrapped his right hand in Soul Power and dug up the Snowy Swan Kiss, roots and all.

He never left his life for others to decide.

When necessary, he would rather perish together with his enemy.

He moved quickly, and Dugu Bo had not expected this at all. At the same time, he was astonished by Ji Bai's actions, so he did not make any rash move.

In his eyes, Ji Bai was highly mysterious.

Holding the Snowy Swan Kiss, Ji Bai strode over to the pile of clothing and miscellaneous items. After picking up his clothes, he quickly dressed himself.

His gaze never left Dugu Bo, and all his attention remained focused on him.

"You are quite cautious." Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled teasingly.

"Before a senior, this junior has no choice but to be more cautious." Ji Bai openly admitted his weakness. There was nothing shameful about it.

"So you believe that flower in your hand can deal with me?" Dugu Bo glanced at the Snowy Swan Kiss before fixing his gaze on Ji Bai.

Ji Bai said calmly, "This junior only wishes to protect himself."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly and asked in a deep voice, "Now answer my earlier questions. Who are you? How did you pass through the poisonous barrier I set up and enter this place? And how did you survive in the spring?"

Ji Bai shrugged. "Who I am is not something I can conveniently tell you, Senior. As for how I entered... a mere poisonous barrier was burned away by Little Fire in an instant."

"And?" What Dugu Bo cared about most was still how Ji Bai had survived in the spring.

Ji Bai smiled with feeling. "It seems Senior does not know much about this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"

Dugu Bo's expression shifted slightly, and his eyes flickered uncertainly.

The feeling of being seen through—and in such an embarrassing matter—made him extremely displeased.

"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

"Is this place what you call the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

Ji Bai nodded slightly.

Dugu Bo turned back to glance at the spring and suddenly discovered that the two strange herbs that had previously been in the water had vanished without a trace.

At once, he came to a realization.

"I understand!"

"You ate the two strange herbs in the middle, which is why you were able to emerge from the spring unharmed!"

"Is that right?"

Ji Bai admitted frankly, "That's right."

A trace of joy appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes as he pressed, "You recognize the herbs here?"

Ji Bai said calmly, "Senior, perhaps we should discuss something else. For example... what would it take for you to let me leave this place?"

Dugu Bo raised the Blazing Academy emblem and said indifferently, "I know you are a student of Blazing Academy, so... you had better behave."

Ji Bai knowingly asked, "May I ask who you are?"

Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, gazing forty-five degrees up at the sky as he said indifferently, "My surname is Dugu, my given name is Bo, my title is Jade Phosphorus. I am also known as the Poison Douluo!"

Ji Bai put on an expression of sudden realization and smiled. "So you are Miss Dugu's grandfather. I have long admired you."

"Hm?"

Dugu Bo was slightly stunned. "You... know my granddaughter?"

Ji Bai nodded with a smile. "You could say we became acquainted after a fight. I even helped her deal with the toxins in her body."

"What!?"

Dugu Bo instantly lost his composure, and his expression changed drastically.

However, he quickly composed himself. After coughing lightly, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What toxins? My granddaughter knows poison extremely well. How could she possibly be poisoned?"

Ji Bai spread his hands. "I am not sure either. I only discovered an extremely concentrated toxin in her body, something like the Jade Phosphorous Serpent. It was incredibly stubborn and had even penetrated deep into her bones. This junior had to spend considerable effort before I could clear the toxins from her body."

Dugu Bo's expression kept changing.

When he looked at Ji Bai again, it was as though he saw a brilliant holy light behind him.

A savior!

He, Dugu Bo, had done good deeds all his life. Naturally, a savior should come to save him!

"How do I know whether what you say is true or false?"

"Once my granddaughter returns, I will personally confirm it with her."

"If it is truly as you say, I will let you leave this place and forgive your offense of trespassing."

"These are your things. Take them back."

After Dugu Bo set down Ji Bai's Storage Soul Tool, the corners of his mouth could not stop rising.

Ji Bai thought, It's settled!
