Snake Species Are Dragon Species Too—What Kind of Speed Bump Was Dugu Bo?

"Who exactly are you? You're so young, yet you've already reached the Titled Douluo level. Could it be that you're from Spirit Hall?"

"Seventh Soul Skill: Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor True Form!"

The jade-green Soul Power within Dugu Bo erupted violently. A gigantic phantom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, stretching thirty to forty meters long, suddenly appeared as well. The instant it blocked Tang Wulin's attack, he intended to end the battle with his full strength and force Tang Wulin to reveal his identity.

"Your full strength? What a pity. Your Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor is a dragon species!"

"Disperse!"

Five golden Blood Essence Soul Rings appeared beneath Tang Wulin. His eyes transformed into golden dragon pupils, and as he spoke, an overbearing and destructive will radiated directly from his body.

Dugu Bo had just condensed the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor True Form and was trying to quickly end the battle and interrogate Tang Wulin about his identity. Under this overbearing bloodline suppression, however, he instantly felt a wave of panic, and his body began to tremble violently. The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor True Form he had just condensed completely collapsed in an instant.

"As long as it's a dragon, it has to kneel before me on the Douluo Continent!"

"Golden Dragon Body!"

"Golden Dragon Claw Strike!"

Before the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, every dragon species—even the Three-Eyed Golden Lion—would be suppressed, let alone the weak dragon bloodline within Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.

Under that nearly despair-inducing bloodline pressure, Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor was like a mere insect. It didn't dare resist in the slightest.

Since when had an insect dared to resist?

With the enhancement of the Golden Dragon Body, Tang Wulin's speed, strength, and defense rose dramatically, and his condition instantly reached its peak.

His right hand, covered in golden scales and transformed into a Golden Dragon Claw, suddenly shot forward. Carrying the power to shatter and tear apart everything, it seemed ready to rip Dugu Bo to pieces in an instant.

"Impossible! How could this be!"

"Eighth Soul Skill: Time Stasis!"

Dugu Bo could clearly feel his entire body trembling nonstop. The fear and urge to submit made even this Titled Douluo find it unbelievable.

Dugu Bo had become a Titled Douluo through his own abilities, and he possessed his own pride. When had he ever been willing to submit? Yet now, he had genuinely developed the urge to surrender.

Dugu Bo refused to believe it. He had to prove that he could not possibly have developed the impulse to submit.

Nine Soul Rings appeared beneath Dugu Bo's feet, and the eighth Soul Ring was flashing continuously.

The next moment, an invisible spatial fluctuation was released from Dugu Bo's body, attempting to seal the space and time in the surrounding area.

Time Stasis was the most special Soul Skill Dugu Bo possessed. Using it once consumed even more Soul Power than his ninth Soul Skill.

Although its Soul Power consumption was enormous, its might was extraordinary. It could even seal the flow of time within the surrounding space and bring it to a standstill.

"Golden Dragon Roar!"

A dragon's roar that seemed to have crossed through time from the primordial era rang out from Tang Wulin's mouth.

The nearly berserk roar exploded beside Dugu Bo's ears just as he was about to release his Soul Skill.

Dugu Bo felt his blood and energy churn violently throughout his body. His Soul Power immediately rebounded against him, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

In the next instant, Tang Wulin's right-hand Golden Dragon Claw had already slammed directly into Dugu Bo's body.

Accompanied by a terrifying force, Dugu Bo's eyes instantly flooded with blood. The enormous, violent power sent his entire body flying in an instant.

He crashed heavily into the ground. His eyes rolled back, and he fell completely unconscious.

Dugu Bo, the mighty Poison Douluo of his generation, had actually failed to injure Tang Wulin in the slightest despite attacking with all his strength. He had been completely crushed beneath Tang Wulin like a speed bump.

"Teacher, should we kill him?"

"This man appeared at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. If we let him go just like this, what if he harbors thoughts of revenge..."

A cold glint flashed through Tang San's eyes. He drew a short knife and looked at Dugu Bo, wondering whether to stab him through the heart or slash his throat.

Although Titled Douluo possessed powerful vitality, someone like Dugu Bo, who played with poison, would at most live a little longer than an ordinary person after suffering another fatal injury.

"No need to rush. You and I are destined to be unable to remain at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well forever."

"This medicinal garden also needs someone to watch over it. Besides, your mother needs to be planted here as well. If Dugu Bo is willing to submit, we can give him a chance to live."

Dugu Bo was arrogant and aloof by nature, but once he acknowledged someone, he would never betray them.

In the original story, Dugu Bo could be said to have followed Tang San until the very end. If he could become a subordinate like that, it would be quite a good thing.

As for how to subdue Dugu Bo, they had already beaten him up. Giving him a sweet reward afterward would naturally make him follow willingly.

"I see. Teacher, you're right. I didn't think it through!"

Tang San looked around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Thinking that this place could accelerate plant growth, he immediately nodded.

His mother had yet to recover. After being planted in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, she would indeed need someone to come and watch over her from time to time.

Both he and his teacher were in the golden period of cultivation. Naturally, they could not remain at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for a long time. Dugu Bo, who was suffering from poison, was different, however. If his teacher could truly subdue him, it really would be a good thing.

Tang San glanced at the unconscious Dugu Bo and did not take him seriously. The man was supposedly unmatched in poison, yet someone who used poison had managed to turn himself into this state. No one else could compare.

He had even fought his teacher without touching so much as the corner of his clothes. He was practically inferior to one of his teacher's fingernails.

Tang San turned his gaze toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and quickly walked over.

He had noticed two peerless Immortal Herbs: the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate!

If there were only one each of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, they could still be considered Immortal Herbs, but they were also rare and deadly poisons. Even a Titled Douluo would be unable to withstand taking them by force.

However, if the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot existed together and were taken at the same time, they could temper the Ice-Fire Golden Body, greatly enhancing one's resistance to ice and fire attributes.

In Tang San's eyes, these two herbs were practically tailor-made for his teacher.

Even though the Blue Silver Emperor was one of the most powerful plant martial souls, before flames of terrifying temperature, it was still merely a plant.

If they could enhance his resistance to ice and fire attributes, it would absolutely provide a tremendous boost to his teacher's strength.

Although these two Immortal Herbs were also suitable for him, Tang San did not harbor the slightest trace of greed.

In his view, his teacher had already treated him well enough. Now, the time had finally come for him to repay that kindness. If he occupied them out of greed, wouldn't that make Tang San no better than the beastly Tang Hao?

He, Tang San, swore that he would never become trash as inhuman as Tang Hao.

"Teacher, these are the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot. They're the Immortal Herbs most suitable for you. After taking them, you can temper the Ice-Fire Golden Body and even achieve immunity to ice and fire!"

Tang San plucked the two Immortal Herbs, then quickly came before Tang Wulin and directly extended them toward him...
