Douluo: Breathing Makes Me Stronger, Tang San Was Terrified!

"Brother Dugu, please stand guard at the classroom door and don't let anyone come in to disturb us."

"Yanyan, next I'll use a spirit skill to neutralize the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison in your body. There will be some pain during the process, so you must endure it and not resist my treatment."

After Lu Chen finished speaking, Dugu Bo patted his chest and promised that he absolutely would not let anyone enter and disturb them.

He then gave Dugu Yan an encouraging look, telling her to follow Lu Chen's arrangements.

Dugu Bo then headed to the classroom door. With a Titled Douluo standing guard, even the academy's Three Education Committee Members would be kept outside if they came.

At this moment, only Lu Chen and Dugu Yan remained inside the classroom.

Before Dugu Yan, Lu Chen summoned his Blue Silver King Martial Soul.

The moment that extraordinary Blue Silver King Martial Soul appeared, it immediately caught Dugu Yan's attention.

Under Lu Chen's control, one Blue Silver Branch after another rapidly extended outward, winding around Dugu Yan's body.

The life aura emitted by the Blue Silver Branches made Dugu Yan feel a wave of warmth, making her look forward to Lu Chen's treatment even more.

Then, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black—six Spirit Rings rose beneath Lu Chen's feet.

With a thought from Lu Chen:

Fourth Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Baptism!

His fourth Spirit Ring lit up!

As Lu Chen continuously poured in Soul Power, his Blue Silver King Martial Soul bloomed with blue light—sacred, pure, and brimming with the aura of life.

This blue light flowed into Dugu Yan's body, nourishing her flesh, organs, meridians, and bones... allowing every part of her body to regain vitality.

That warm sensation made Dugu Yan feel as though she were soaking in a hot spring. It was so comfortable that she nearly moaned aloud.

However, before long, the life energy flowing into Dugu Yan's body found the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison lurking within her.

The life energy instantly mobilized, surrounding and intercepting the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison, seeking to purify it completely.

Naturally, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison would not surrender without a fight. The snake poison flared up at once, rampaging through Dugu Yan's body.

Dugu Yan let out a muffled groan, and fine beads of cold sweat began to seep from her fair forehead.

It hurt!

It hurt too much!

Dugu Yan was not Dugu Bo. She did not possess such unyielding willpower. Crying out, she wanted the treatment to stop.

Of course, Lu Chen would not let her have her way. With a thought, the Blue Silver Branches wrapped around Dugu Yan instantly tightened, binding her firmly.

Another Blue Silver Branch curled around Dugu Yan's slender neck and stuffed itself into her crying mouth, sealing it shut.

Dugu Yan was bound up like a dumpling, with a Blue Silver Branch even stuffed into her mouth. Unable to move or cry out, she could only sob softly through muffled whimpers.

Dugu Yan was filled with fury. Her jade-green eyes glared viciously at Lu Chen, as though she wanted nothing more than to bite him.

She had never been treated like this before!

This Lan Chen actually dared to tie her up and gag her. It was something Dugu Yan had never experienced in her life.

Dugu Yan felt terribly uncomfortable now. The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison raging within her caused excruciating pain throughout her body, yet the nourishment of the life energy made every organ regain vitality, leaving her body as warm as though she were soaking in a hot spring.

This sensation of warmth mixed with pain made Dugu Yan feel utterly miserable.

Yet at this moment, Lu Chen had tied her up, leaving her unable to move or cry out. She could only endure in silence.

At first, Dugu Yan glared fiercely at Lu Chen, looking as though she wanted to bite him.

But as time passed second by second, Dugu Yan gradually began to act strangely. She panted softly through her mouth, her sounds filled with both grievance and longing.

The painful yet pleasurable sensation of being forcibly bound during treatment gave rise to an unusual delight in her heart.

Dugu Yan's jade-green eyes gradually became watery, shimmering with a soft and seductive glow.

Inside Dugu Yan's body, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison that had been rampaging everywhere was finally cornered by the life energy.

Then the life energy surged forward in a rush, reacting with the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison and purifying it into Void.

Dugu Yan was not Dugu Bo, and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison entrenched within her body was not nearly as stubborn.

Thus, after putting in some effort, Lu Chen completely purified the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison.

With the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison no longer eroding her, Dugu Yan finally relaxed completely and could no longer feel even the slightest pain.

A steady stream of life energy poured in, nourishing her limbs, bones, and internal organs.

Dugu Yan closed her eyes and tilted her head back slightly, enjoying the nourishment of the life energy as pleasure spread through her body from within.

I really am crazy!

This thought arose in Dugu Yan's heart.

Today, she had been tied up and forcibly treated, experiencing a pleasure that was both painful and blissful.

At first, she had felt only anger and shame, but now she was actually enjoying it immensely.

If that was not madness, then what was?!

Once the treatment was complete, Lu Chen raised his hand and withdrew the Blue Silver Branches binding Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan's body went limp. She had no strength left at all and dropped onto the floor, still breathing softly, with lingering traces of pleasure in her eyes.

Crown Prince of Heaven Dou

After the treatment was completed, Lu Chen called toward the door:

"Brother Dugu, the poison has been neutralized."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo, who had been extremely anxious outside the door, rushed back into the classroom without delay.

His face full of concern, he hurried forward and helped Dugu Yan up from the floor, asking anxiously:

"Yanyan, how do you feel? Has the Jade Scale Snake Poison in your body been neutralized?"

Dugu Yan panted lightly. With Dugu Bo's support, she shakily straightened herself up.

"Grandfather, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison has been neutralized, it's just..."

As for what she had experienced during the treatment of the Jade Scale Snake Poison, as well as the changes in her heart, Dugu Yan truly found it difficult to speak of them.

Dugu Bo did not care about anything else. He said with relief:

"Good. As long as the snake poison has been neutralized, a little pain will pass if you endure it."

"Yanyan, what makes me happiest now is that I no longer have to worry about your life being in danger."

"In my life, I have already endured the pain of watching my child die before me. If I had to go through that again, I do not dare imagine how mad I would become."

Hearing Dugu Bo mention this deeply moved Dugu Yan.

She had lost her parents when she was very young.

Her father had eventually died from the backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison, and her mother had followed him not long afterward.

She had once thought that her future would be the same as her father's.

That one day, she too would die from the backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison.

But now, everything was different. The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison in her body had been neutralized.

Her fate had truly been changed!

Although she was ashamed to speak of the changes in her heart, Dugu Yan still thanked Lu Chen gratefully.

"Grandpa Lan Chen, thank you so much!"

Lu Chen nodded with a smile. Being called Grandpa felt a little strange, but after hearing it often enough, he had more or less gotten used to it.

Then, with a solemn expression, he said:

"Yanyan, the deadly poison in your body has now mostly been neutralized."

"But Brother Dugu told me that your poison comes from your Martial Soul. As long as you continue cultivating the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, I'm afraid the poison will return sooner or later."

"I don't have any good way to solve this problem once and for all. For now, I can only help you clear the poison from your bodies every so often."

"Though it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, it will be enough to keep your lives out of danger."

Lu Chen naturally was not truly without a solution.

He wanted Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan to understand that their crisis had not been completely resolved. If they wanted to remain safe, they would have to rely on him.

Lu Chen's actions were indeed not entirely honorable.

But he had to do this.

Better a villain first, then a gentleman later!

After all, he had known Dugu Bo for only a few days. To prevent Dugu Bo from burning bridges and turning his back on him once his purpose was served,

he had to ensure that he would always remain valuable to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

Once they became closer in the future, he would naturally help Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan solve this problem once and for all.

At Lu Chen's reminder, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan also realized the issue.

That was right. The deadly poison they carried did not come from outside, but from within.

It came from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul they cultivated!

As long as they continued cultivating the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, the poison would continue eroding their bodies. This was simply an unsolvable problem.

Thinking of this, the look in Dugu Bo's eyes as he gazed at Lu Chen changed. He realized that if he and his granddaughter wanted to remain safe in the future, they would have to keep relying on Lu Chen.

Dugu Bo laughed warmly.

"Haha, this is already wonderful. At least my granddaughter and I will no longer have to suffer under the torment of deadly poison."

"Brother Lan Chen, I won't say too much more in thanks. You cured my granddaughter's poison and will also help neutralize mine. From now on, you will be an honored guest of the Dugu Family."

"I will never forget this favor for all my life. If there is ever anything you need, I, Dugu Bo, will do everything within my power."

"I'm happy today. To celebrate Yanyan's successful detoxification, I'll reserve a table at Dingxiang Restaurant. The two of us will have a proper drink and won't return until we're drunk."

Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Lu Chen was also extremely pleased and replied with a smile:

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. If there is ever anything I need Brother Dugu's help with, I hope you will lend me a hand."

"Today, I will definitely drink to my heart's content with Brother Dugu."

Afterward, Lu Chen, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan left Heaven Dou Royal Academy together.

They headed for Dingxiang Restaurant in Heaven Dou City!

This was the most thriving restaurant in Heaven Dou City. Dugu Bo rented a private room, ordered a table full of fine wine and food, and drank with Lu Chen as they ate. The atmosphere was exceedingly harmonious.

At the table, Dugu Yan seemed somewhat curious about Lu Chen. She kept asking him questions, wanting to know about his past.

Naturally, Lu Chen would not tell the truth. Otherwise, what would be the point of his disguise?

But neither did he wish to lie, because fabricated stories would always have holes in them. Thus, he usually responded with silence.

Whenever Dugu Yan asked him something, Lu Chen would merely sigh softly and reveal a complicated expression, leaving Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan to imagine the rest for themselves.

The image of a supremely talented genius, peerlessly gifted yet envied and suppressed until he had no choice but to conceal his identity, became deeply ingrained in Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's minds.

They drank until nightfall. Lu Chen then followed Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan back to Dugu Mansion and stayed there.

At the same time!

Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin, the Three Education Committee Members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, wrote a complete report of today's events. After signing it with all three of their names, they had it delivered to Xue Ye's desk at once.

Out of respect for the Three Education Committee Members, Xue Ye did not delay and immediately opened the report to read it.

After finishing it, Xue Ye remarked expressionlessly:

"This Sect Master Ning has gone so far in suppressing dissent that a Spirit Emperor around thirty years old, who has already reached level 69 Soul Power, was forced to change his appearance and conceal his identity."

"I recall that Qin Ming, known at Heaven Dou Royal Academy as the continent's second-youngest Spirit Emperor, only broke through to level 60 Soul Power at around thirty. Lan Chen's talent surpasses even Qin Ming's."

"Such a genius must be used by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Hmm... leave this to Qinghe. He is Sect Master Ning's disciple, so have him mediate between Sect Master Ning and Lan Chen."

"If the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou personally steps in to resolve Lan Chen's grievances and mediate the conflict, that will be giving Lan Chen sufficient face."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Ye had someone deliver this report overnight to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's residence. He believed that Xue Qinghe would understand his intentions.

Crown Prince Mansion!
