"Then fuse it into your body, and it'll be able to evolve."
"The residual toxins can also be automatically neutralized by your Martial Soul."
Zhou Tong said calmly.
It seemed that Dugu Bo's Martial Soul hadn't evolved completely enough.
With the Golden Dragon's bloodline, the Jade Phosphor Snake might be able to evolve into the Jade Phosphorus Golden Dragon Martial Soul.
"Kid, a better dragon bloodline won't be easy to find."
Dugu Bo furrowed his brows, looking troubled.
Pure dragon bloodlines were generally found in dragons or dragon-type Martial Souls, and they were uncommon.
And finding an even better dragon bloodline would be harder still.
"Looks like I'll have to think of something else."
"Perhaps storing the excess toxins in the Medusa Skull Bone would be a good choice."
Dugu Bo sighed, a trace of helplessness and self-mockery flashing in his eyes.
At that moment, Dugu Bo seemed to realize something. "That should be safe, shouldn't it?"
At this,
Zhou Tong studied Dugu Bo with a grave expression for a while without speaking. In the end, he sighed. "Alas..."
Seeing Zhou Tong's reaction,
Dugu Bo's heart gave a jolt, and his face turned green. "Say something, will you? What's with the sighing? Don't think you can scare me!"
Zhou Tong said gravely, "That would be far too dangerous."
"You can force the toxins into the skull bone, and it'll be able to contain some of them for a short time."
"But if the toxins build up for too long and exceed the Soul Bone's capacity, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
In the original story, Tang San had given Dugu Bo exactly this kind of terrible advice, telling him to store the toxins in a Soul Bone.
But there were enormous hidden risks.
After all, the Jade Phosphor Snake Martial Soul produced toxins day and night, while the Soul Bone's storage capacity was limited. Once the toxins exceeded its capacity, Dugu Bo would die from the poison.
In other words, Tang Biesan's terrible advice would ultimately kill Dugu Bo.
Of course,
in the short term, Tang San could easily fool Dugu Bo.
After all, Tang San had already achieved his goal of tricking Dugu Bo out of his Immortal Herbs. By the time Dugu Bo discovered the flaw, Tang San would have grown powerful.
But Zhou Tong wasn't going to deceive Dugu Bo like that.
Zhou Tong paused, then continued, "I have a way to help you find the dragon bloodline you need to evolve your Martial Soul."
At this, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, his face full of excitement.
"Brat, spit it out!"
Zhou Tong stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a discarded son named Yu Xiaogang."
"He's the one who tried to steal my Second Soul Ring earlier."
"Though he's a useless Martial Soul user, his Martial Soul is actually the Golden Dragon Martial Soul."
"It's just that Yu Xiaogang is too useless to let his Martial Soul fully take shape."
At this, a vicious glint flashed through Dugu Bo's eyes.
"That trash actually has such a good Martial Soul!"
"What a waste. He's got such a good Martial Soul and can't do anything with it."
Dugu Bo said coldly.
The Golden Dragon Martial Soul was even stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
Its growth potential was extremely high.
It was a top-tier dragon-type Martial Soul.
Anyone who obtained this Martial Soul could become a powerful Soul Master.
Only Yu Xiaogang, that good-for-nothing, couldn't even break through Soul Power level 29.
He'd even let his Golden Dragon Martial Soul regress all the way into that pig, Luo Sanpao.
There were no useless Martial Souls, only useless Yu Xiaogangs!
"In that case, I'll extract his Golden Dragon bloodline. At least it'll put the trash to good use!"
Dugu Bo said coldly.
Dugu Bo vaguely remembered how arrogantly Yu Xiaogang had acted in front of him. He felt no guilt whatsoever about extracting some of his bloodline.
"Teacher, we can extract his bloodline."
"But Yu Xiaogang's disciple is Tang San."
"Tang San's father is Tang Hao, and he won't be easy to deal with."
Dugu Bo asked in confusion, "Tang Hao?"
Try as he might, Dugu Bo couldn't imagine that Yu Xiaogang, a good-for-nothing, had gotten involved with Tang Hao.
Besides, Tang Hao hadn't appeared for years.
"That's right, Tang Hao—the current Clear Sky Douluo, one of the Clear Sky Twin Stars, and the youngest Titled Douluo."
Zhou Tong explained, answering Dugu Bo's question.
After all, plenty of people shared the same name.
At this, Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes and fell into thought.
Tang San's father was actually Tang Hao?
He truly hadn't expected that.
With someone like that backing him, getting the Golden Dragon bloodline from Yu Xiaogang would indeed be difficult.
Zhou Tong actually wanted Dugu Bo to go after Yu Xiaogang. That way, he could take Xiao Wu as well.
Then he could use Xiao Wu to force Daming and Erming to sacrifice themselves. It would be perfect.
Seeing Dugu Bo hesitate, Zhou Tong changed tack. "We should think of another way for now."
At this, Dugu Bo's eyes dimmed slightly, but they soon returned to normal.
He waved a hand and smiled. "It's fine. I know what I'm doing."
"After all these years, I've gotten used to living with the toxins. A little backlash won't do me in!"
Zhou Tong smiled. "I really do have a way, but it can only slow the toxin buildup."
"Really?"
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up. He appeared in front of Zhou Tong in an instant and gripped his hand tightly.
"What way?"
Zhou Tong was secretly surprised. Dugu Bo sure changed his tune fast.
"Of course. Have you ever heard of electric-shock detoxification?"
"Electric-shock detoxification?"
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan asked at the same time, puzzled.
"To put it simply, we use the power of lightning to help you force the toxins out of your body, Teacher."
"Then I'll leave it to you, my disciple."
Dugu Bo agreed at once.
Then Zhou Tong released his lightning power and gradually forced the toxins out of Dugu Bo's body.
However, since the toxins had accumulated deep within him and seeped into his bones, the continuous electric shocks left Dugu Bo in constant agony.
After several days of electric-shock treatment, Dugu Bo's condition improved considerably.
But he refused to continue the treatment.
"Brat, your electric-shock treatment hurts too much. I can't take it anymore."
Every time he underwent the treatment, Dugu Bo was shocked unconscious. In the end, he simply refused to go through with it again.
It was just too painful.
"I've made up my mind. We'll go after that Yu Xiaogang."
"We'll do it quietly. We'll take Yu Xiaogang down, draw his blood, and leave. It shouldn't be a problem."
"After all, Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao aren't that close."
"And we won't touch Tang San, so it shouldn't matter much."
Dugu Bo simply chose another approach.
After all, capturing Yu Xiaogang only involved a little risk, but the electric-shock treatment could cost him his life.
Zhou Tong smiled faintly. "Then it'll be as you wish!"
Not long afterward, they headed to Shrek Academy.
At that time, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others were all cultivating there.
Zhou Tong and Dugu Bo waited there for several days before Yu Xiaogang finally came into view.
They didn't make a move recklessly. Instead, they waited until Yu Xiaogang was alone, then appeared before him silently in the dead of night.
Before you continue
