"Su... Super Douluo!"

Sensing the aura of Sea Dragon Douluo, Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly contracted.

That aura was far too powerful.

Standing before him, Dugu Bo felt like an ant that could be crushed to death at any moment.

If this was not a Super Douluo, he would never believe it.

And that was not even the worst of it.

That young girl was actually a Titled Douluo as well!

Moreover, her aura was in no way weaker than that of Chrysanthemum Douluo, his sworn enemy in Spirit Hall.

Only then did Dugu Bo realize that he had kicked an iron plate this time.

Two Titled Douluo, one of them even a Super Douluo.

No matter how formidable his poison arts were, he was no match for them.

Run!

Just as Dugu Bo turned to flee, Sea Dragon Douluo raised a hand and stopped him.

"Leaving already?"

Dugu Bo's expression immediately darkened. Glancing back at Huang Long from the corner of his eye, he asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"If you want this old man's life, you can simply take it."

"But my granddaughter is innocent. I hope you can spare her."

Huang Long shook his head with a bitter smile. "Poison Douluo, you misunderstand. We do not want your life, nor do we want your granddaughter's life."

As he spoke, he extended a hand in invitation. "Since you came here, you must also be looking for a way to solve the backlash of the Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul."

"Why don't we sit down and have a proper talk?"

Dugu Bo remained where he was, unmoving.

He looked at Sea Dragon Douluo, then at Sea Maiden Douluo.

Finally, his gaze returned to Huang Long. After a long silence, he turned and sat down.

"We can talk, but first, you must tell this old man who you really are."

"Though I may not know every Titled Douluo on Douluo Continent, I can say with certainty that I have never seen people like you before."

Huang Long replied, "I know what you are worried about, but rest assured, we are not from Spirit Hall."

"As for where we are from, you cannot know that yet."

As he spoke, he found a chair, moved it across from Dugu Bo, and sat down.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo no longer made things difficult for Dugu Bo.

The two of them simultaneously withdrew their martial souls and pressure, then brought Xiao Wu over to sit beside Huang Long.

Dugu Bo swept his gaze over the four of them, and a few guesses quietly formed in his heart.

Since they were not from Spirit Hall, they had to belong to some reclusive faction.

He no longer dwelled on the matter.

After all, they truly were willing to help him solve his problem.

If they had wanted to deal with him, the two Titled Douluo could have killed him long ago.

Having understood that, Dugu Bo lowered his stance.

"Then what you told my granddaughter—that you can help my family completely resolve the martial soul backlash—is it true?"

"Of course it is."

Huang Long nodded slightly. "There are three methods to resolve the backlash of the Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul."

"To show my sincerity, I'll first tell you one method that treats the symptoms."

"You have three methods?"

Dugu Bo sucked in a small breath, staring at Huang Long in disbelief.

To solve the backlash problem of the Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul, he had sought out several healing-type soul masters, including healing-type soul masters at the Titled Douluo level.

Yet none of them had been able to solve it.

Who would have thought that this young man before him had three solutions!

Dugu Bo urgently pressed, "Tell me, quickly! As long as you can solve the martial soul backlash, you will be the benefactor of the Dugu family!"

"Don't rush."

Huang Long smiled and raised one finger. "The first method is to find somewhere to store the toxins, somewhere that will not affect your own body."

"For example, soul bones. A full set of soul bones would be best, especially, since they can store the greatest amount of toxins."

"Of course, an external soul bone would be even better!"

After hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes immediately lit up.

He slapped his thigh and said in sudden realization, "That's right! How had I not thought of that before?"

"Kid, I didn't expect you to actually have a solution!"

But at this point, he became troubled again.

Though the first method was good, the cost was simply too high.

Dugu Bo had roamed Douluo Continent his entire life, yet he currently possessed only a single spirit bone.

Some other Titled Douluo did not even have one spirit bone.

Gathering a complete set of spirit bones would be far too difficult.

Not to mention external spirit bones.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo asked again, "What about the second method?"

Huang Long smiled. "The second method is actually hidden in Your Excellency's herb garden."

"My herb garden?"

Dugu Bo froze for a moment.

The next second, he flew into a rage, blowing his beard and glaring.

"Kid, are you making fun of me?"

"If that herb garden were truly useful, why would this old man still be unable to resolve the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom to this day?"

Huang Long gently shook his head. "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, all I can say is that you possess a treasure without recognizing it."

"That herb garden is no ordinary place. Hasn't Your Excellency noticed that it is filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs?"

Dugu Bo frowned slightly.

He did know that his herb garden was full of all sorts of strange medicinal herbs. Otherwise, why would he call it a herb garden?

But those herbs were practically all highly poisonous. How could they possibly be consumed?

Could this kid know the specific effects of those herbs?

Yet Huang Long had no intention of continuing.

He rose to his feet and said, "Words are useless. Your Excellency can take us to inspect your herb garden tomorrow and see for yourself."

"But let's make this clear first: if it works, we'll need to pick a few medicinal herbs from that garden as payment."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded slightly and immediately agreed.

As long as the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom in both his and his granddaughter's bodies could be cured—

Forget a few medicinal herbs from the garden; they could take all of them if they wanted!

In any case, he did not know what those herbs were actually used for.

Still, if he ever learned their true effects, who knew whether he would regret this decision.

After reaching an agreement, Huang Long had Sea Dragon Douluo see the guest out.

Dugu Bo was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say there were three methods? What about the third one?"

Huang Long said, "The third method cannot be revealed to Your Excellency for the time being, unless Your Excellency agrees to join us."

"This..."

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched slightly. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. This old man has grown used to being free and unrestrained. I don't want to be bound by anyone."

"Really?"

Huang Long gave a mysterious smile. "Even if that method could not only resolve the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom in Your Excellency's body, but also allow Your Excellency's cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds—even letting you step into the rank of a Super Douluo?"

The words Dugu Bo had been about to use to refuse instantly caught in his throat.

He admitted that he was tempted.

Not only could it resolve the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom, but it could also let him advance by leaps and bounds and become a Super Douluo.

No one could resist such a temptation!

Huang Long waved his hand. "Your Excellency should go back and think it over carefully. We won't interfere with your freedom."

"As long as Your Excellency comes around, we will welcome you at any time."
