Dugu Yan: Stay away from me! (Please keep reading)

"Tell me, what should I do?"

Dugu Bo looked grave. Although he had agreed, this was no laughing matter!

If a Titled Douluo lost a hand or foot, their cultivation would fall considerably. He was already the weakest Titled Douluo on the continent. If anything went wrong, he would be in serious trouble!

"Senior, remove your Soul Bone first, then force the poison into that arm. Leave the rest to me. It's very simple."

"Of course, if you're afraid of the pain, you can use the Right Arm Bone I gave you instead."

"Hiss!"

As Dugu Bo looked at Huo Yuhao's smiling face, his pupils widened, and his face twitched uncontrollably.

Simple?

The way Huo Yuhao said those two sentences certainly made it sound simple, but every single word made Dugu Bo's flesh ache.

Still, for his granddaughter's sake, he would do it.

After releasing his Martial Soul, Dugu Bo sent his Soul Power surging wildly through his body, his clothes billowing in the wind.

The oppressive aura of a Titled Douluo was on full display, even if he was the weakest among them.

He tightly bound the base of his arm with Soul Power, cutting off the blood flow and applying pressure to certain points to numb the pain.

Dugu Bo began.

His nails lengthened and became razor-sharp. Without the slightest hesitation, he plunged them toward his left arm, right where his Soul Bone lay.

Stripping away a fused Soul Bone was no different from pulling out one of his own bones. Within moments, Dugu Bo's face flushed crimson, sweat covered his forehead, and his features contorted. Even his eyes turned red from the pain.

Yet Dugu Bo stubbornly refused to make a sound as he extracted the Soul Bone bit by bit.

Soon, a bloodstained Ten-Thousand-Year Left Arm Bone appeared in Dugu Bo's hand.

Once the Soul Bone was removed, Dugu Bo's flushed face instantly turned pale-a sign of excessive blood loss.

He hurriedly swallowed a handful of pills, then immediately followed Huo Yuhao's instructions, forcing all the deadly toxins in his body into his arm.

A moment later, his left arm slowly changed from white to dark green, then finally to pitch-black.

As the seconds and minutes passed, Dugu Bo's arm lost all sensation. His condition was already terrible. Not only had he lost too much blood, but his Soul Power had also drained severely, and even his physical strength was beginning to fail.

Still, just before he fainted, Dugu Bo successfully forced all the toxins out of the rest of his body.

By then, his entire arm had festered and died. If not for his strength as a Titled Douluo, these poisons would have dissolved it long ago.

"Boy, it's up to you now!" Dugu Bo said weakly. All he could do now was trust Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao took the Soul Bone from his hand, cleaned it briefly, then carried it over to Dugu Bo's shoulder.

With one stroke of his blade, he sliced off Dugu Bo's entire arm at the shoulder, exposing a cross section that was still blackened. Huo Yuhao kept cutting, making Dugu Bo howl in pain.

Only when no trace of black remained did he place the Soul Bone against the severed surface. His Soul Power then began draining furiously, and the right leg bone of the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor shone with dazzling light. Dense life force flowed from Huo Yuhao's body toward Dugu Bo's arm.

"Wildfire cannot burn it all away; the spring breeze blows, and it grows again."

As long as there was a Soul Bone, even a severed arm could be restored. Such was the overwhelming power of the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone.

Under Huo Yuhao's control, blue-gold energy slowly flowed toward the cut surface, stimulating the flesh there.

Upon contact with the Soul Bone, its powerful energy resonated with that energy, and flesh began spreading along the bone bit by bit.

Dugu Bo stared at this unbelievable sight, utterly stunned. After all, watching his own arm grow back was quite a novel experience.

He could already feel a tingling sensation where his arm had been, which meant that regrowing his severed arm was very much possible.

"Senior, take some more tonics. It's growing too slowly."

Dissatisfied with the pace, Huo Yuhao prompted Dugu Bo. At his words, Dugu Bo's Storage Soul Tool flickered faintly, and countless blood-replenishing herbs appeared. He gulped them down in large mouthfuls.

Dugu Bo had lived for so many years and was skilled with poisons, so he naturally had no shortage of medicinal herbs.

With this influx of energy, Dugu Bo's arm grew faster and faster, until its growth was visible to the naked eye.

As time passed, Huo Yuhao injected the final wisp of blue energy into the arm, and Dugu Bo had a brand-new arm.

Pale and tender, it was worlds apart from his other arm. One glance was enough to tell that it had just grown back.

Comparing his two arms, Dugu Bo was overwhelmed with delight. After taking a little time to recover, he could already sense his newly grown arm without any difficulty. It was no different from his old one.

In fact, it even felt a little better than before.

How miraculous.

Was this the power of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?

Huo Yuhao wiped the sweat from his forehead, then said to Dugu Bo, "Senior, I haven't let you down. What do you think of your new arm?"

"Good, very good! Better than ever!" Dugu Bo laughed heartily, then continued, "I've never felt this comfortable in my entire life. You really are a talented boy."

In truth, it was much like scratching an itch.

For years, Dugu Bo had been plagued by the poison in his body. He knew what needed to be done, but he could not do it, nor did he dare. He had endured its torment all this time, suffering beyond words.

Today, however, he had finally expelled some of the most vicious poison. He could easily suppress the remainder with his cultivation. It was perfect.

Dugu Bo was overjoyed now that he could comfortably use his new arm. Once he collected himself, he remembered something.

The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul behind him radiated emerald light. Under his control, it opened its gaping maw and slowly spat out a jade-green inner core, which Dugu Bo guided into Huo Yuhao's palm.

"This is my inner core. It contains half my strength. It was born when my Jade-Scaled Snake evolved into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor. It's a very special pearl, something between a Soul Beast and a Soul Master."

"Anyway, since you asked me for it, you should know what it does. It can increase your cultivation speed at least threefold. After all, it contains my pure Soul Power, which you can absorb directly."

"If my granddaughter hadn't also been poisoned by Jade-Scaled Snake Poison, I wouldn't have been afraid to let her use it. Otherwise, with this inner core of mine, she would be the greatest genius on the continent."

Huo Yuhao did not take in a word Dugu Bo said. He had eyes only for the inner core. After all, aside from the immortal herbs, this was his only reason for coming here.

He hurriedly accepted it, then swallowed it in one gulp.

"Thank you for granting me your inner core, Senior. It would be impolite of me to refuse."

But then Huo Yuhao's expression grew solemn again.

"Senior, let's finish everything in one go and cure your granddaughter's poison too."

"All right!"

Dugu Yan: "Stay away from me!"
