Inside the office.
"As expected, two ignorant fools."
Su Chen sneered coldly.
The two theoretical masters did not even know about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Were they worthy of being called the continent's foremost theoretical masters?
Tang San asked curiously:
"Teacher Su, could there be treasures of heaven and earth there?"
Xiao Gang and Gangzi immediately countered:
"Su Chen, that place is within Sunset Forest."
"There are quite a few powerful Soul Beasts there."
"We've never heard of any great opportunities there."
"And the Soul Master mercenaries who returned all said there was poisonous mist there."
"Even if you're a Titled Douluo, why undertake a thankless task?"
"Heh, are you going there to pick a fight with poisonous mist?"
Su Chen berated the two:
"There's nothing more than a hidden poison formation there."
"Inside it is an Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Countless treasures of heaven and earth grow there."
"Such as Immortal Herbs."
Xiao Gang and Gangzi were instantly dumbfounded:
"Did you say Immortal Herbs?"
"We've heard they can bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bare bones."
"They can strengthen a Soul Master's spiritual power and physique."
"They can even evolve a Soul Master's Martial Soul!"
Tang San was startled by what he heard, then said:
"Teacher Su, wherever there are treasures of heaven and earth,"
"there seems to be some powerful force guarding them."
"Are you certain you can break through the poison formation"
"and defeat the powerful force inside?"
Su Chen laid it bare:
"It's nothing more than a Jade Phosphorus Snake poison formation."
"The powerful force inside is called Dugu Bo."
"Just an ordinary Level 92 Control System Douluo."
"Dugu Bo?"
"The continent's foremost Poison Douluo!"
"Although he isn't a Limit Douluo,"
"his poison can force even a Limit Douluo to retreat!"
Xiao Gang and Gangzi scoffed.
Then they mocked him again:
"Su Chen, surely you aren't relying on your status as a Limit Douluo"
"to look down on Dugu Bo like this?"
"His mastery of poison borders on the divine."
"Even Bibi Dong wouldn't dare provoke him lightly."
Su Chen said coldly:
"If you want to break through a Soul Master's limits,"
"what does a little poison amount to?"
"You don't have to come along."
"Just stay at the academy!"
Xiao Gang and Gangzi refused to give up.
They had to stay close to Tang San.
If Xiao San died,
they would have no hope left of verifying their theories.
So Xiao Gang and Gangzi said hypocritically:
"We only want what's best for Xiao San."
"We have to keep an eye on you,"
"so you don't act recklessly!"
Su Chen asked Tang San:
"Do you dare take a risk with me?"
Tang San nodded and said:
"I'll follow all your arrangements, Teacher Su."
Once again, Su Chen spoke coldly to the two Gangs:
"I'm only bringing you along so you can see the gap between us."
"If you dare come up with another bright idea, I won't mind slaughtering you!"
Su Chen's cold stare made Xiao Gang and Gangzi's scalps tingle.
Without realizing it, they both nodded.
It felt as though they were staring into the eyes of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Sunset Forest.
Within the forbidden core, poisonous mist swirled around the Jade Phosphorus Snake poison formation.
An old man dressed in luxurious green robes gazed coldly:
"At least those Soul Masters had the sense to stay away."
"My Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is finally much quieter."
"No one should even think of stealing my treasures of heaven and earth."
Who else could he have been but Dugu Bo?
Dugu Bo glanced at the outskirts of the forbidden area.
Seeing no sign of activity,
he returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, thoroughly satisfied.
Little did he know that Su Chen had arrived at the outskirts of the forbidden area with Gangzi and the others.
Xiao Gang and Gangzi sought confirmation once more:
"Su Chen, you're certain you want to fight Dugu Bo?"
Tang San also asked for confirmation:
"Teacher Su, he's a level ninety-two Poison Douluo."
"Teacher Su, can you handle him?"
Su Chen knew he had only ten seconds in which to act.
Fortunately, he had known how to break the poison formation in his previous life.
Then Su Chen took out an aromatic silk beauty he had casually collected in his previous life.
This Immortal Herb was the bane of all poisons.
Within the reach of its fragrance, all poisonous mist was nothing more than decoration.
Even Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison would have no effect whatsoever.
Very soon.
When this Immortal Herb appeared,
Xiao Gang and Gangzi were dumbfounded:
"Isn't that aromatic silk beauty, the bane of all poisons?"
"Su Chen, how did you get your hands on it?"
Su Chen said casually, "I just picked it."
Tang San was an expert in medicinal herbs.
At a glance, he could tell that the fragrance this Immortal Herb released
could completely disperse any poison.
Without realizing it,
he was won over by Su Chen's mystery and strength:
It seems taking Teacher Su Chen as my master was the right decision.
Tang San made a comparison.
Xiao Gang and Gangzi were nothing short of two jokes.
Su Chen tucked the Immortal Herb into his breast pocket.
The aromatic silk beauty's fragrance spread directly over the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison Formation.
In an instant,
the poison formation that made Soul Masters lose their nerve at the mere mention of it became nothing more than decoration.
Su Chen and the others walked slowly through it.
They were completely unharmed.
If Dugu Bo knew,
he would certainly be utterly shocked.
He would even react as though facing a formidable enemy.
Just then,
Xiao Gang and Gangzi said fearfully:
"Su Chen, once we provoke Dugu Bo,"
"there'll be no turning back for us."
Su Chen said impatiently:
"You two fools."
"Don't you know riches and honor must be sought amid danger?"
"Do you think my strength as a Limit Douluo was a gift from heaven?"
Xiao Gang and Gangzi were immediately put in their place.
Su Chen was right.
Riches and honor truly had to be sought amid danger.
The two of them did everything rigidly by the book.
They regarded their own theories as truth.
No wonder we can't become Titled Douluos.
Compared to Su Chen's vision and courage, ours are like minor witches before a great sorcerer.
Without realizing it,
Xiao Gang and Gangzi found themselves unable to refute him.
For the first time, they shut their mouths.
They followed quietly behind Su Chen.
Tang San wondered:
Teacher Su is far too mysterious!
How exactly did he obtain this Immortal Herb?
Do medicinal herbs like this even exist on the Douluo Continent?
Inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes.
He sensed a powerful presence approaching.
Dugu Yan raised her curious little face and asked:
"Grandpa, why did you suddenly wake up?"
"Did something happen?"
Dugu Bo affectionately stroked Yan'er's little head and said:
"Some Soul Beast probably wandered into my poison formation."
"Don't worry, Yan'er! Grandpa is fine."
Dugu Yan smiled, looking very cute.
Just then, intense pain suddenly wracked her body.
She fainted and collapsed to the ground.
Dugu Bo's face drained of color, and he said with remorse:
"It's all my fault for insisting that my granddaughter cultivate poison arts."
"Although she'll be all right after a spell of recuperation,"
"the backlash from these poison arts isn't something a little girl like her can endure."
The more Dugu Bo thought about it, the more he regretted it.
The Immortal Herbs he had poured his heart and soul into cultivating were utterly meaningless now.
Dugu Bo threw back his head and sighed deeply:
"My Martial Soul has brought disaster on both me and my granddaughter."
"Heavens, what will it take to rid me and my granddaughter of this poison!"
Just then.
A young man's hearty voice rang out:
"If I can cure the poison in you and your granddaughter."
"Would you give me this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well of yours?"
"Who goes there!!!"
"How did you get past my poison formation?"
Dugu Bo asked warily.
Su Chen stepped forward:
"I have Aromatic Silk Beauty too."
In an instant.
Dugu Bo was stunned by the Aromatic Silk Beauty at Su Chen's chest:
"Where did you get that Aromatic Silk Beauty?"
"Outside my Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, they're as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns on this continent."
Su Chen did not answer.
He merely tossed out an enticing proposal:
"Dugu Bo, if I can cure the poison in you and your granddaughter."
"Would you dare give me the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
Dugu Bo laughed coldly:
"There are too many swindlers these days."
"They all claim they can cure Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison."
"Why should I believe a weak brat like you?"
Su Chen merely smiled.
Then he released the Soul Power of a rank-99 Titled Douluo:
"How about this? Is it enough?"
In an instant.
Dugu Bo was dumbfounded:
"A Limit Douluo under thirty?"
"Who in the world are you!!!"
