I Am Space Itself

"What did you say?!"

The moment Duan Yu finished speaking!

Dugu Bo erupted with his powerful pressure once more. A terrifying aura surged toward Duan Yu, and his gaze turned cold again.

"Who gave you permission to spout such nonsense and curse Yan Yan?"

Of course, Dugu Bo knew about the innate flaw of the Jade-Scaled Serpent martial soul. Its poison accumulated year after year, and he also knew how severe the poison in Yan Yan's body was.

But that did not mean this brat could stand before him and recklessly pronounce her fate.

Duan Yu did not dare to be unprepared when dealing with someone like Dugu Bo, who could suddenly turn hostile at any moment.

After saying those words, he had guessed that he would provoke Dugu Bo. Thus, he had mobilized the power of space in advance, constantly dispelling Dugu Bo's pressure so he would not suffer too badly.

Yet before a Title Douluo, Duan Yu still felt somewhat overwhelmed. His legs began to tremble, and he nearly dropped to his knees.

But making him kneel would feel worse than killing him.

Facing Dugu Bo's ever-increasing pressure, he gritted his teeth and said,

"Senior Dugu, there is no need to be so impulsive. What if I told you I can save Sister Yan?"

Upon hearing that this brat had a way to save Yan Yan, Dugu Bo's pupils contracted. The pressure bearing down on Duan Yu instantly receded like a tide.

"Brat, you said you can save Yan Yan. Why should I believe you?"

Once Duan Yu sensed the pressure vanish, he took a breath and calmly said, "Senior Dugu, to be honest, I am not afraid of your poison."

"To put it bluntly, your Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor Venom has no effect on me whatsoever."

As Duan Yu's words fell, Dugu Bo's gaze turned cold and sinister once more.

"Brat, I spared you for Yan Yan's sake. But if you truly wish to die, I do not mind turning you into a corpse."

Duan Yu smiled slightly. "Senior Dugu, feel free to release your poison. If I do not die from poisoning, that will prove I have a way to deal with it."

Dugu Bo's pupils shook at his words. "Brat, are you serious?"

"Of course."

Seeing Duan Yu's utter certainty, Dugu Bo still hesitated. "Once my poison takes effect, your soul power may not be enough to keep you alive until I detoxify you."

Seeing that Dugu Bo still refused to poison him and kept chattering on, Duan Yu said irritably,

"If you're going to poison me, then do it already. I told you I won't die, so why are you still dragging this out?"

Dugu Bo's face darkened. "Fine. Brat, you brought this upon yourself."

As soon as he spoke, an emerald serpent emperor appeared behind Dugu Bo. The Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor flicked its tongue at Duan Yu and injected poison into his body.

Although he claimed not to fear poison, Duan Yu did not dare let his guard down before the Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor. He released his martial soul.

The Spatial Dragon King emerged behind him, its dragon's might vast and imposing as ripples of space spread outward. It stood against the Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor behind Dugu Bo.

When the Spatial Dragon King fully manifested behind Duan Yu, Dugu Bo's expression changed.

This was martial soul suppression!

The instant the Spatial Dragon King appeared, he actually felt his martial soul being suppressed.

Though it was not obvious, it was unmistakably martial soul suppression.

Dragon-type martial souls were indeed incredibly powerful, standing at the pinnacle of beast martial souls and suppressing countless other beast martial souls.

But he was a Title Douluo! His Jade-Scaled Serpent had already evolved into the Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor. How could he feel martial soul suppression from a mere Soul Ancestor?!

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Dugu Bo injected the Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor Venom into Duan Yu's body.

Duan Yu let out a muffled groan. In that instant, he could already feel the Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor Venom rampaging through his body.

It was different from what Dugu Bo had expected. He had originally thought Duan Yu would suffer a poison attack and beg for mercy in agony.

Yet Duan Yu relaxed after only an instant and mobilized his soul power to resist the poison within him.

Dugu Bo watched as the Spatial Dragon King behind Duan Yu suddenly merged into Duan Yu's body, while silver light burst from Duan Yu's body.

Then... he stood up just like that.

He stood up?!

Dugu Bo stared in disbelief at Duan Yu, who had been injected with Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor Venom five minutes ago and was now standing there completely unharmed.

"You've already detoxified yourself?" Dugu Bo was stunned.

"Obviously."

As he spoke, Duan Yu even deliberately turned in a circle.

"How is that possible?!"

Dugu Bo still could not believe it. "Even a Title Douluo who is poisoned by my Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor Venom would lose chunks of flesh. How did you remove my poison in five minutes?"

Duan Yu smiled faintly. "Your poison is indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, it can only take effect once it comes into contact with its target."

Dugu Bo frowned. "Are you saying my poison never touched you?"

"It touched me, yet it did not."

Duan Yu explained, "From the perspective of the physical body, the Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor Venom did indeed come into contact with me."

"But from the inside, the Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor Venom never passed through my interior at all."

"What does that mean?"

Dugu Bo still did not understand. He said impatiently, "Explain it simply."

What a country bumpkin. He doesn't even understand that.

"Hm?"

Dugu Bo's icy gaze swept over him.

Duan Yu smiled awkwardly and honestly explained,

"My martial soul is the Spatial Dragon King, one of the nine great Dragon Kings under the Dragon God. It controls the authority of space and is the absolute ruler of space."

"You mean that you secretly transferred the poison away somewhere I couldn't see?"

Duan Yu shook his head. "That is impossible. I am only a Soul Ancestor right now. If I truly did that, I would never be able to hide it from you."

"Then how did you deal with my Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor Venom?"

Dugu Bo asked in confusion, "I personally watched it enter your body."

Duan Yu chuckled softly. "What if I told you that I am space itself, and that the inside of my body is unaffected by any force?"

"Space itself?!"

Dugu Bo looked utterly shocked. "What does that mean?"

Duan Yu was speechless.

Damn it, how does this old bumpkin understand nothing? Is he really a Title Douluo?

Duan Yu could only patiently continue explaining, "Simply put, whether it is poison or anything else that can enter my body."

"The moment it enters me, it is continuously transferred by space. Under the effect of countless spatial transfers, it will naturally be moved out."

"Then naturally, none of it can harm me."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo finally understood. He looked at Duan Yu with a strange expression.

The inside of this brat was like an enormous black hole that could devour and transfer everything.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo cautiously asked, "So you plan to use this ability to remove Yan Yan's poison?"

Duan Yu smiled calmly. "You could say that. Not only can I cure Sister Yan's poison, I can even cure yours."
