"Who exactly are you?"
Dugu Bo shielded his granddaughter behind him.
He watched the unruffled Su Chen warily.
"You can call me Yu Xiaogang."
"Or you can call me Su Chen."
Su Chen answered calmly.
Xiao Gang and Gangzi snapped, "We're the real Yu Xiaogang!"
"Who do you think you are!!!"
Su Chen unleashed his level-99 Soul Power.
The two Gangzis staggered and fell to the ground.
Their faces flushed crimson.
They had no power to resist.
Only then did realization flash through Dugu Bo:
"You're the legendary Grandmaster?"
"How are you so young?"
"You're not an impostor, are you?"
Always cautious, Dugu Bo spoke with his brows tightly knitted.
Xiao Gang and Gangzi rose smugly:
"We're the Grandmaster you're talking about."
"Su Chen is nothing but a greenhorn."
With another palm strike, Su Chen drove the two Gangzis back:
"Both of you, get out of my way."
"Su Chen! You..."
Xiao Gang and Gangzi were furious.
But their bodies involuntarily retreated several steps.
They were terrified.
Watching them, Tang San wanted to laugh:
These two teachers can't read the room at all.
Don't they know Teacher Su is negotiating with Dugu Bo?
Su Chen spoke calmly:
"Only Xiao San and I can cure your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison!"
"The exchange is simple. Just give me your Immortal Herbs."
Dugu Bo sneered coldly:
"You say I'm poisoned. What proof do you have?"
Dugu Bo was testing Su Chen, who stood before him.
He could not possibly hand over his Immortal Herbs just because of a few words.
Even if the other man was a Limit Douluo.
As they spoke.
Tang San also observed signs of poisoning on Dugu Bo.
He and Su Chen spoke together:
"Have you been practicing poison arts for years?"
"Have you been plagued by pain for years?"
"Are you poisoned yourself without even knowing it?"
In an instant.
Shock filled Dugu Bo's eyes:
"Have you been spying on me?"
Su Chen and Tang San continued:
"Judging by your age, you're already over eighty."
"You should have practiced poison arts for at least seventy years."
"Your Martial Soul should be a highly venomous Beast Martial Soul."
"Although your cultivation has reached the very pinnacle, the poison has turned against you."
"Whenever the weather turns rainy and overcast, do you feel an itching numbness along both sides of your ribs?"
"And does it gradually intensify, lasting about two hours?"
The more Dugu Bo heard, the more alarmed he became.
Everything the two said was exactly right.
Yet he remained extremely cautious.
He snorted coldly. "Hmph! I don't know what you're talking about!"
Su Chen and Tang San continued:
"It flares up once at midnight and once at noon."
"During the third watch each night, you feel needle-like stabbing pains in your skull and the soles of your feet, don't you?"
Dugu Bo was finally shocked.
He knew his own condition inside out.
He had never expected that his poisoning really had been caused by practicing poison arts.
No wonder taking Immortal Herbs had done nothing.
Dugu Bo's tone therefore softened somewhat:
"Can you help cure my granddaughter's poisoning?"
Su Chen gestured toward Tang San:
"I'll leave Dugu Yan to you!"
"Her poisoning is still mild."
Then Su Chen stepped forward, gripped Dugu Bo's shoulder, and said:
"I can cure your poisoning completely."
"The price is your Immortal Herbs."
Dugu Bo saw Tang San step forward to treat Dugu Yan's poisoning.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"As long as Yan'er is all right, what do the Immortal Herbs matter!"
Sure enough, before long.
Tang San used Immortal Herbs to revive the unconscious Dugu Yan.
Su Chen affectionately stroked Dugu Yan's little head:
"This is a Soul Bone from Uncle."
Su Chen generously took a Medusa Skull of the Ten Thousand Year Medusa out of Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.
He gave it to the adorable Dugu Yan.
It was to seal away Dugu Yan's poison.
Dugu Bo's eyes went wide.
He had never expected Su Chen to be so generous.
After all, this was the skull of the Ten Thousand Year Medusa.
Even he had only obtained his with great difficulty.
Dugu Bo then stepped forward to examine Dugu Yan's body.
A sharp gleam flashed through his aged eyes:
"Yan'er, you're actually all right!"
At that moment.
Su Chen offered Dugu Bo two detoxification plans:
"1. You need to take two herbs, Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, over a long period."
"You only need to use Soul Power to absorb their medicinal effects."
"But this plan has a major drawback."
Su Chen's voice abruptly stopped.
Tang San naturally knew what it was and explained:
"Grandpa Dugu Bo, are you willing to dissolve all your poison cultivation?"
Dugu Bo immediately hesitated.
This was the poison cultivation he had built up over more than eighty years.
If he dissipated it, what would happen to his Yan'er?
After all, on the Douluo Continent, the strong reigned supreme.
His strength was Yan'er's only guarantee of safety.
So he could not lightly dissipate his poison cultivation.
Still unwilling to give up, Dugu Bo asked:
"Then what's the second detoxification plan?"
Su Chen gestured toward Tang San:
"Why don't you explain it?"
Xiao Gang and Gangzi sneered:
"What could Xiao San know about curing poison?"
"Su Chen, you aren't calling on Xiao San because you don't know how, are you?"
With another palm strike, Su Chen blasted the two Gangzis back:
"What a racket!!!"
The two Gangzis gritted their teeth.
But they were no match for Su Chen.
They could only stand there, their faces crimson.
They said nothing.
Tang San, meanwhile, did not disappoint Dugu Bo.
He offered the second solution:
"2. Find a Soul Bone and force the poison into it."
"The reason you're poisoned is that you have a Beast Martial Soul."
"Your Martial Soul easily fuses with your body."
"Naturally, the toxins fuse with you as well."
"If you had a Tool Martial Soul, this problem wouldn't arise."
"Following that principle, you only need to concentrate the poison inside your body into a Soul Bone."
"Then you can retain your poison cultivation without suffering the toxins' backlash."
"The price is merely one expensive Soul Bone."
Dugu Bo's despairing eyes finally filled with hope:
"I choose the second plan!!!"
Su Chen had anticipated this. "You're very smart."
"The second detoxification plan suits you best."
Dugu Bo exclaimed in astonishment:
"Su Chen!"
"Just who in the world are you?"
Su Chen said calmly, "Level-99 Jade Dragon Douluo, Yu Xiaogang."
Dugu Bo shook his head with a soft sigh:
"Everyone's heard that Yu Yuanzhen has a second son named Yu Xiaogang."
"His Martial Soul was utterly worthless."
"He was expelled from the clan."
"But after meeting you."
"I realized those rumors were nothing but a joke."
"What exactly is your Martial Soul?"
"I don't believe a worthless Martial Soul could break through to Limit Douluo."
Xiao Gang and Gangzi were deeply envious:
"We also want to know how Su Chen evolved Luo Sanpao into the Golden Sacred Dragon."
Tang San said proudly:
"Teacher Su, show us your Martial Soul."
Hearing this, Su Chen shook his head.
He understood that displaying his Martial Soul would earn Dugu Bo's trust.
It was no losing bargain.
Dugu Yan, too, was now studying Su Chen curiously.
He gave a light wave of his hand.
An enormous golden dragon flew out of the void, blotting out the sky and sun.
Even though Xiao Gang, Gangzi, and Tang San had seen it before,
they were still dumbstruck at the sight of it again.
Gradually,
Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul was suppressed by its bloodline.
It manifested involuntarily.
It bowed reverently to the Golden Sacred Dragon.
Dugu Bo exclaimed in shock:
"What a pure dragon bloodline!"
"Even my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, which is on the verge of becoming a flood dragon, has to submit."
Dugu Yan's little face was filled with shock:
"Is this the Divine Dragon of legend?"
Su Chen waved his hand and withdrew his giant dragon Martial Soul.
Dugu Bo finally let down his guard and said:
"Lord Su Chen, I will follow all your arrangements."
Under Su Chen's guidance, Tang San
instructed Dugu Bo to use Soul Power to force the toxins into the Ten Thousand Year Medusa's skull.
Dugu Bo was also surprised that Tang San was so skilled at detoxification at such a young age.
Dugu Bo praised him. "Lord Su Chen, is this your disciple?"
"His detoxification skills are truly remarkable."
Xiao Gang and Gangzi said with pride on their faces:
"He's our disciple too."
"We taught him well!"
Su Chen gave them a cold look:
"With your half-baked detoxification skills,
"you think you're worthy of calling yourselves Tang San's teachers?"
"Have you no shame?"
Suddenly, just then,
in the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,
a restless surge of draconic aura rose.
Su Chen said in surprise:
"There's something down there!"
