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

As for food, he had always lived off the wind and dew.

Also, this old man possessed the ability to use Earth Escape. If he encountered an attack from other Spirit Beasts, he could immediately burrow into the ground.

According to the Blue Silver Grass, this old man emanated a rich aura of life. He did not seem human at all, but rather like a Spirit Beast that had gained sentience.

Moreover, this old man had not always lived in the Star Dou Forest. He had originally come from outside, found the Star Dou Forest's environment pleasant, and settled there.

That settlement had lasted several hundred years.

He had already looked like an old man when he arrived.

Even now, he still looked like an old man.

Having lived for hundreds of years, this mysterious old man definitely was not human.

Lu Chen blinked, excitement filling his heart. Based on the information he had learned so far, this mysterious old man was definitely a Spirit Beast.

He just did not know what kind of Spirit Beast his true form was.

No matter what, he had to go take a look.

And he needed to make preparations in advance.

Lu Chen then looked at Dugu Bo and suddenly asked, "Brother Dugu, can you poison the ground?"

"I found a Spirit Beast, but it can use Earth Escape. If we do not prepare beforehand, it can burrow away at any time!"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Dugu Bo immediately began pondering seriously. "A Spirit Beast capable of Earth Escape? Those are truly rare. In theory, poisoning the ground is possible. Let me try it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo began experimenting. After a simple test, he found that as long as he wrapped the potent poison in Soul Power, it could rapidly spread underground.

After receiving Dugu Bo's definite answer, Lu Chen brought Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan to the old man's location.

Four hours later!

Using the Blue Silver Domain, Lu Chen concealed the auras of all three of them with all his strength. Without alerting the old man, they arrived in the forest beside the lake, and Lu Chen had Dugu Bo begin poisoning the area.

Dugu Bo said nothing, merely nodding. He then wrapped the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in Soul Power and injected it into the ground beneath his feet.

He also used Soul Power to spread it, causing the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison to rapidly permeate the area.

In just a few minutes, the soil within a thousand-meter radius was filled with Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison.

All the plants within that thousand-meter radius rapidly yellowed and withered after absorbing the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison.

Only then did the old man fishing by the lake notice that something was wrong.

Extremely sensitive to danger, he immediately tried to use Earth Escape and flee. With a whoosh, he plunged into the ground.

Yet only three seconds later, the old man burst back out. The grass vines and leaves on his body had turned withered yellow, and even his face was tinged with green.

He had been poisoned!

The old man cursed angrily, "Damn it! Who is plotting against me? They actually poisoned the ground in advance."

"They know me so well? That is impossible. I have never easily shown myself outside."

This old man had never appeared before humans, but he had never hidden himself from the ubiquitous Blue Silver Grass either.

When he encountered a Spirit Master like Lu Chen, who possessed the Blue Silver Domain and could communicate with Blue Silver Grass, all his secrets were exposed.

Seeing this, Lu Chen immediately revealed a delighted expression.

Poisoning the ground really could restrain this old man's Earth Escape ability.

Lu Chen seized the chance to attack. "Blue Silver Domain, All-Encompassing Forest!"

In the next instant, countless Blue Silver Branches spread toward the old man from all directions under Lu Chen's control.

After being poisoned, the old man's movements had clearly slowed considerably. With the ground full of Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison, he could not possibly use Earth Escape again.

He could only watch helplessly as Blue Silver Branches shot over from all directions like giant snakes, wrapping his body into a dumpling.

After being captured, the old man's face was full of disbelief. "Blue Silver Emperor, why are you attacking this old man? This old man has never held any grudge against you!"

At that moment, Lu Chen walked out of the forest. Looking at the old man bound into a dumpling, he did not hesitate in the slightest.

"Blue Silver Overlord Spear!"

Lu Chen raised his right hand, and overwhelming blue light burst forth from his right arm.

All the blue light gathered in his palm, then extended to both sides, forming a three-meter-long blue spear.

He did not know whether this old man had any other methods.

No matter what, he had to severely wound him first.

Lu Chen raised the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, exerted force, and hurled it toward the old man.

Rip!

The Blue Silver Overlord Spear tore through the air with sharp screeches. Like a bolt of blue lightning, it reached the old man in a flash and, with a bang, pierced through his chest.

Though his chest had been pierced, there was not the slightest fear on the old man's face. He stared blankly at Lu Chen. "You are human? Impossible. How could a human awaken a Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul? Could you be descended from the Blue Silver Emperor?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly twisted. Everyone's vision blurred, and when his figure stabilized again—

The Blue Silver Overlord Spear that had pierced his chest had vanished. There was not even the slightest wound on his chest, as though everything that had just happened had only been a dream.

Lu Chen's eyes widened as he stared fixedly at the old man opposite him.

There truly were no wounds on the old man's body.

"Something's wrong..."

Lu Chen suddenly noticed a Ginseng Tendril falling from the old man's body.

That Ginseng Tendril had snapped into two pieces at its center.

It was not that the Blue Silver Overlord Spear had failed to harm the old man. Rather, the damage it had inflicted had been transferred away.

This old man not only possessed Earth Escape, but also the ability to transfer damage.

What an incredible support ability!

The old man spoke with a proud expression, "Human, although this old man has no offensive methods, do not even think of killing me."

"As for the little poison in my body, I will soon absorb and digest it."

"Why not let me leave? We can stay out of each other's way."

The Proposal of Sacrifice

"You can transfer damage, but I refuse to believe you can keep transferring it forever!"

Lu Chen's eyes narrowed as he spoke with firm resolve.

He then raised his right hand and condensed another three-meter-long Blue Silver Overlord Spear. The spearpoint gleamed with a chilling light, carrying a sharpness that seemed capable of piercing anything.

All the muscles in Lu Chen's body tensed. He stepped forward into a bow stance, unleashed all his strength, gripped the Blue Silver Overlord Spear with both hands, and thrust it forward.

Rip!

Accompanied by the sound of a sharp blade entering flesh, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear's tip once again tore through the old man's chest.

Lu Chen tightly gripped the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and twisted it, shredding the organs in the old man's chest. He then quickly pulled the spear back out.

Blood continuously flowed from the old man's chest, but he remained unhurried and calmly said, "This old man already told you, you cannot kill me!"

Sure enough, in the next instant, the old man's body twisted. When his figure stabilized again, the bloody hole in his chest had vanished.

Then a Ginseng Tendril snapped into two pieces fell silently from his body to the ground.

Instead of feeling disappointed, Lu Chen's eyes shone with excitement.

This damage transfer ability was too miraculous!

It was practically the ultimate support ability!

He had to obtain it. Lu Chen spoke resolutely, "If killing you once is not enough, then I will kill you ten times. If ten times is not enough, then I will kill you a hundred times. Unless your damage transfer ability is limitless, I am killing you today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen thrust his spear forward again. The Blue Silver Overlord Spear's sharp tip effortlessly tore through the old man's chest.

After the old man used his damage transfer ability to shift all the damage he had suffered onto the Ginseng Tendril and restore himself to perfect condition—

Lu Chen repeated the same action again. He was determined to obtain the old man's damage transfer ability.

The old man had remained fairly calm at first, but upon seeing Lu Chen's relentless determination, he began to panic.

His damage transfer ability ultimately had limits. If Lu Chen continued tormenting him like this, his death would only be a matter of time.

The old man tried to negotiate, his aged voice carrying a coaxing tone. "Human, you have already seen it. I will not die. Even if you kill me ten times or a hundred times, I will not die."

"Since you cannot kill me, why waste your strength? As long as you let me leave, I can give you three Life-Saving Tendrils."

"Carry the Life-Saving Tendrils with you. Once you suffer fatal damage, that damage will be transferred onto a Life-Saving Tendril, leaving you unharmed."

"What do you say? Three Life-Saving Tendrils means three lives. They can help you avoid three fatal attacks."

Lu Chen grinned at this, raised his spear, and thrust forward again. After tearing through the old man's chest, he said firmly, "Once I kill you and absorb your Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone, your damage transfer ability will belong to me."

"Three Life-Saving Tendrils are not enough for me. I want all your abilities."

The old man's expression darkened, and his tone held a trace of threat. "Human, do you really think this old man cannot do anything to you?"

"As a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, this old man is far from as simple as he appears. At worst, I will perish with you!"

Lu Chen's eyes widened, and delight appeared on his face. "That is wonderful! You are even a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast. I did not know your true form or cultivation age before, so I was still hesitating over whether to absorb your Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone."

"Now there is nothing to hesitate about. Use whatever methods you have!"

As he spoke, Lu Chen thrust out another spear. With a rip, it tore through the old man's chest and shredded his internal organs.

The old man's body twisted again, and through his damage transfer ability, he restored himself to perfect condition once more.

Faced with Lu Chen, who refused to yield no matter what, the old man finally decided to stop holding back. He let out a loud shout and unleashed his aura with all his strength.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

His violent aura swept up a raging gale and crashed toward Lu Chen like a mountain collapse and tsunami.

Lu Chen was struck head-on by that aura and sent flying. He reacted quickly, tensed his body to steady himself, and landed smoothly dozens of meters away.

After his feet touched the ground, Lu Chen discovered that he was completely uninjured. That aura had looked overwhelmingly powerful, but aside from sending him flying, it had no real force. He raised a brow and said, "It felt like being hit by cotton. You old man really do have profound cultivation, but unfortunately, you have no offensive ability at all. Even your aura is so soft and weak."

Meanwhile, after sending Lu Chen flying with his aura, the old man began trying to break free from the Blue Silver Branches around him.

The old man was bitter inside. Though he possessed immense cultivation, he did not have any offensive ability.

Under normal circumstances, he could use Earth Escape and transfer damage, so ordinary humans or Spirit Beasts could never hope to harm him.

But now, the ground had been poisoned, leaving him unable to use Earth Escape to flee. He had also been bound into a dumpling by Blue Silver Branches, leaving him at the mercy of others.

Having realized all this, Lu Chen naturally would not let the old man escape. He immediately controlled the Blue Silver Branches, binding the old man even tighter.

At the same time, he cast Blue Silver Blessing on himself, guiding the power of life into his body and increasing all his attributes by 100%.

Feeling the surging power within him rapidly rise, Lu Chen let out a roar. Bracing himself against the old man's aura, he raised the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and stabbed toward him once more.
