Two Methods? Dugu Bo's Difficulty Choosing...

As the sun rose and the moon set, a day passed just like that.

The strange phenomena of Tang San's alternating transformations finally faded away, and he slowly opened his eyes.

After completely absorbing the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, Tang San's body now glimmered with a faint, lustrous white sheen. His skin looked powerful yet delicate beneath that radiance. As he breathed, his entire body seemed to surge with a different kind of vitality, as though he had been completely forged into a golden body.

After Tang San used the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot for Ice-Fire Golden Body Tempering, Tang Wulin could clearly sense that Tang San's physical constitution had improved by a huge margin. Although his Soul Power had not increased, his Blue Silver King Martial Soul had gained greatly in resistance to both fire and ice.

It certainly could not achieve complete immunity to fire and ice, but ordinary fire- and ice-elemental attacks were no longer anything worth mentioning to Tang San's current Blue Silver King.

However, if he encountered an extreme attribute, or an attribute that was extreme by nature, then Tang San's current Blue Silver King would certainly be unable to resist it.

"Ice-Fire Golden Body Tempering, complete!"

Sensing the changes within his body, Tang San revealed an excited expression.

He could feel that, with the help of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, not only had his physical strength increased tremendously, but his Martial Soul had also been enhanced.

"You're awake?"

Tang Wulin watched Tang San open his eyes. Seeing his excited expression, a gentle smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face, and he spoke in a slightly magnetic voice.

"Teacher!"

Hearing the voice beside him, Tang San was startled. He hurriedly raised his head, then immediately saw his teacher smiling down at him.

It was wonderful to see a teacher who was like a father the very first moment he woke up.

"Xiao San, you did well. You didn't disappoint me."

Tang Wulin placed his warm hand on Tang San's head and ruffled his hair. Feeling the fatherly warmth coming from that hand, Tang San felt immensely comfortable. He even revealed a delighted smile because of it.

"Xiao San, you understand the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well better than I do. I need your help with something."

"Dugu Bo has already chosen to submit. He was poisoned by his own Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison because of the backlash. Help me look around and see whether there's an Immortal Herb suitable for his current condition."

There were actually quite a few ways to remove the poison from Dugu Bo's body. With the Blue Silver Domain, Tang Wulin might even have been able to directly cure Dugu Bo by drawing out a massive amount of vitality and channeling it into him.

But that would take far too long, so it was better to leave it to Tang San, a professional poison user.

"Teacher actually subdued a Titled Douluo powerhouse. As expected of my teacher!"

Upon hearing Tang Wulin's words, Tang San immediately revealed an admiring expression.

To rely on his own strength to take a Titled Douluo renowned throughout the continent as a subordinate—such strength could only be described as terrifying.

Others might not know, but Tang San did.

His teacher was currently only a Soul Emperor. If his teacher truly reached the Titled Douluo rank in the future, just how terrifying would his combat power become?

Would he be able to single-handedly annihilate Spirit Hall?

"Teacher, removing the snake poison that Senior Dugu suffered from due to the backlash isn't difficult. This disciple has two methods, one superior and one inferior. The superior method is to promote another Martial Soul Evolution. You once said that a Martial Soul is an extension of the body and soul."

"Senior Dugu suffered the backlash and was poisoned because the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul has a flaw. Martial Soul Evolution has a very high chance of making up for that flaw."

"As for the inferior method, I can refine some special pills with my blood. These pills can force the poison in Senior Dugu's body into his Spirit Bone. But a Spirit Bone has a limit to how much poison it can contain. This method is simple and convenient, but once the Spirit Bone reaches its limit in the future, Senior Dugu will die, with no possibility of survival whatsoever."

Tang San glanced at Dugu Bo, a trace of disdain appearing in his eyes. In his view, Dugu Bo had played with poison his entire life, yet all the poison he used was trash.

He could not even figure out that the flaw in his own Martial Soul had caused him to be poisoned, much less solve the problem. He was completely unworthy of the title Poison Douluo.

But Tang San remembered that Dugu Bo had already submitted to his teacher and would be his teacher's servant in the future.

And Tang San was his teacher's disciple—in a sense, his teacher's half-son. That meant Dugu Bo was, to a certain extent, his own servant.

Since Dugu Bo was his teacher's and his first servant, he should at least treat him seriously. Besides, Dugu Bo was still a Titled Douluo, and there would be many things he could do in the future. Thus, Tang San immediately explained his thoughts.

Martial Soul Evolution?

Using a Spirit Bone to store the poison in his body?

Dugu Bo was stunned as he listened to Tang San!

But after thinking about it carefully, using a Spirit Bone to store the poison did not seem impossible.

Yet when he imagined the Spirit Bone reaching its limit and cracking apart completely, Dugu Bo immediately felt a chill of terror run through him.

Moreover, Spirit Bones were precious. These days, they were even called Blood River's Treasure—treasures capable of starting a war between two small nations.

Dugu Bo was a dignified Titled Douluo powerhouse. After traveling across the continent for his entire life, he possessed only a single Spirit Bone.

As far as Dugu Bo knew, there were even some Titled Douluo on the continent who did not possess a single Spirit Bone.

That left only one method: Martial Soul Evolution!

But how could a Martial Soul evolve so easily? Not to mention that Dugu Bo had already undergone Martial Soul Evolution once.

"Young Master, when I broke through to the Titled Douluo rank, my Martial Soul evolved from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. Could it really evolve a second time?"

Dugu Bo was genuinely anxious now. Finding a Spirit Bone was far too difficult. Massacring soul beasts on a large scale might attract hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.

Furthermore, that method had a time limit. Once the Spirit Bone reached its limit, he would die immediately. He was an old man, so his own fate was not that important, but Yan Yan was still young. He could not possibly use such a method.

But Martial Soul Evolution was extraordinarily difficult.

"Senior Dugu, rest assured. There are enough Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to evolve your Martial Soul!"

Hearing the way Dugu Bo addressed him, Tang San nodded with satisfaction.

He called his teacher Master and Tang San Young Master. He had not become conceited simply because Tang San had called him Senior. This Dugu Bo had a fairly clear understanding of his own position.

Tang San was very satisfied with that. Since he was a servant, he should understand his position.

If he failed to understand his position, it would be easy for a treacherous servant to bully the master.

"Xiao San, find two Immortal Herbs for Dugu Bo. I believe he can make his own decision."

Would Dugu Bo betray him after his Martial Soul evolved?

What dragon? All soul beasts could only kneel before the Golden Dragon King Bloodline...

Something came up today, so I was a little late. Tomorrow, I'll try to get my schedule back in order. Please don't mind it.

A reader's suggestion last night was pretty good. From now on, at the beginning of each month, I'll post an extra side story.

The first side story will be about the original Tang San seeing himself call Tang Wulin "Dad"...

Hehehe.
