Dugu Yan ran over quickly from outside the training grounds.

Ye Lingling followed closely beside her.

Dugu Yan stepped between Dugu Bo and Tang Feng.

She spread her arms, blocking the Serpent Emperor Venom that was about to descend.

"My fault!"

"I was the one who deliberately spread the news!"

Dugu Yan stood in front of Tang Feng.

Her emerald-green hair had fallen loose over her shoulders from running.

Her outstretched arms had yet to lower.

"Grandpa, Tang Feng didn't bully me."

"I spread the news according to his instructions."

The poisonous mist across the training grounds stopped spreading.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor behind Dugu Bo slowly raised its head.

Nine Spirit Rings still circled him.

The pressure belonging to a Titled Douluo did not immediately fade.

Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter.

"You deliberately spread word that someone had controlled you with vines for three days?"

Dugu Yan's cheeks heated up.

She turned and shot Tang Feng a glare.

"He really did bind me with vines."

"But he was suppressing my martial soul's backlash for me."

Dugu Bo's gaze fell upon her wrist.

There were no wounds on her fair skin.

The toxins in her meridians were also far more stable than before.

Dugu Bo raised his hand and gripped Dugu Yan's wrist.

Soul Power entered her body.

A moment later, his expression grew even uglier.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom that had accumulated in Dugu Yan's bloodline for years had actually decreased somewhat.

The meridians that had already been damaged by the poison had also been repaired by a pure life force.

Dugu Bo released her hand.

"Yanyan, stand aside for now."

Dugu Yan did not leave immediately.

She looked at her grandfather, then at Tang Feng.

"Grandpa, don't attack him."

"He saved me."

Dugu Bo swept his sleeve.

The Soul Power pressure weighing down on Tang Feng completely dissipated.

"I'm not so low as to attack a nine-year-old child."

Only then did Dugu Yan retreat to Ye Lingling's side.

Ye Lingling raised the Nine-Hearted Begonia and healed the meridians in Yu Tianheng's body that had been suppressed by Destruction Power.

Tang Feng also dispersed Star-Binding Annihilation.

Yu Tianheng braced himself against the ground and rose.

His gaze lingered briefly between Tang Feng and Dugu Yan, but he ultimately did not attack again.

Dugu Bo took a step forward.

His green hair fell behind him.

"Boy, did you deliberately lure me here?"

Tang Feng nodded.

"To save you."

Dugu Bo's eyes abruptly turned cold.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor bared its fangs once more.

"Save me?"

"Do you know what you're saying?"

Tang Feng looked at Dugu Bo.

"When it is cloudy or rainy, your ribs itch and go numb."

Dugu Bo's expression shifted slightly.

"Every midnight and noon, the poison backlash is at its worst."

"Each episode lasts more than two hours."

"As your cultivation rises, the pain grows stronger and stronger."

The training grounds fell silent.

Dugu Yan turned to look at her grandfather.

"Grandpa, is what he said true?"

Dugu Bo did not answer.

Every symptom Tang Feng had described perfectly matched his condition.

He had never mentioned these matters to anyone else.

Even Dugu Yan did not know.

Dugu Bo had cultivated Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Venom for decades.

The poison had long seeped into his very bones.

Whenever the sky turned cloudy or rainy, dense numb itching would spread through his ribs.

The backlash at midnight and noon grew worse every time.

A Titled Douluo's Soul Power could only suppress the poison, not completely purge it.

He had searched for years without finding any truly effective solution.

Dugu Bo stared at Tang Feng.

"How do you know?"

Tang Feng raised his left hand.

Dark blue light flowed across his palm.

The Ruination Blue Silver Emperor slowly grew forth.

"Your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Venom is powerful."

"But it cannot hide from my martial soul."

A Destruction Vine extended toward Dugu Bo's arm.

The Serpent Emperor Venom, provoked, immediately surged out from within him.

Emerald poisonous mist crashed into the vine.

The dark blue blades rapidly turned green.

Dugu Bo did not stop him.

He wanted to see just how far Tang Feng could go.

The dark purple patterns on the Ruination Blue Silver Emperor lit up one after another.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Venom that had invaded the blades was forcibly broken down.

The green traces soon disappeared.

The vine continued forward and wrapped around Dugu Bo's arm.

Tang Feng said:

"Don't resist."

Dugu Bo frowned.

"You'd better truly have a solution."

He voluntarily withdrew the Soul Power protecting his body.

Destruction Power entered his meridians through his arm.

The highly toxic poison accumulated within Dugu Bo's body immediately reacted.

Dark green poison surged from his bones, meridians, and flesh, attempting to corrode the Destruction Power entering his body.

Tang Feng closed his eyes.

His enhanced spiritual power spread along the vine.

The locations of the poison gradually appeared within his perception.

Every trace of poison was tightly entangled with Dugu Bo's Soul Power.

Forcibly extracting it could easily damage his meridians.

Tang Feng raised his right hand.

The Life Blue Silver Emperor appeared in his palm.

Blue-gold blades pressed against Dugu Bo's arm.

Pure life force flowed into his meridians, shielding in advance the paths through which the Destruction Power passed.

Dugu Bo's body shuddered.

He could clearly sense the difference between the two powers.

The dark blue vine locked onto the poison.

The blue-gold blades stabilized his meridians.

The two Blue Silver Emperors worked together without the slightest conflict.

Tang Feng slowly curled his five fingers.

"Found it."

The dark purple patterns on the Ruination Blue Silver Emperor lit up simultaneously.

[Jeweled Gauntlet activated!] [Poison extraction, fivefold effect!]

Devour!

The vine around Dugu Bo's arm suddenly tightened.

A trace of Serpent Emperor Venom hidden deep within his bones was forcibly stripped away by Destruction Power.

Dark green venom raced through his meridians.

Everywhere the venom passed, the Life Blue Silver Emperor immediately repaired the impacted flesh.

A moment later.

That trace of venom left Dugu Bo's body through his wrist.

The tip of the vine slowly lifted.

A drop of dark green venom gathered atop a blade.

The venom fell toward the ground.

Sizzle!

The hard stone slabs rapidly melted.

In the blink of an eye, a fist-sized pit appeared.

Several nearby Royal Dou members hurriedly backed away.

Dugu Bo paid no attention to the changes on the ground.

All his focus was concentrated within his body.

The deadly poison that had plagued him for years had truly decreased somewhat.

Though the amount extracted was not much, it had genuinely vanished from his bones and meridians.

The area that had long suffered poison erosion had also been repaired by life force.

The numb itching accumulated over many years eased along with it.

Dugu Bo looked at the two Blue Silver Emperors in Tang Feng's palms.

"One devours poison."

"One repairs."

"Is this the confidence that made you dare lure me here?"

Tang Feng dispersed the vine wrapped around his arm.

"That was only a test just now."

"If we continue the treatment, I can deal with all the poison in both you and Dugu Yan."

Dugu Yan hurried over to their side.

She pulled up Dugu Bo's sleeve and examined the place where the vine had just wrapped around him.

His skin was undamaged.

Only a layer of blue-gold radiance remained, not yet faded.

"Grandpa, how do you feel?"

Dugu Bo looked at her worried face.

"The poison really has lessened."

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up.

She turned to look at Tang Feng.

"Can you really cure Grandpa?"

"Yes."

Dugu Bo lowered his sleeve.

Having lived for so many years, he naturally did not believe in kindness without compensation.

Tang Feng had gone to the trouble of luring him to the academy and revealing two abilities of the Blue Silver Emperor. He must have wanted something.

"What do you want?"

Tang Feng did not beat around the bush.

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
