Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Tang San's face showed a hint of disdain, and he said indifferently:
"Heh, a Titled Douluo, yet he practices some kind of trashy poison technique, and he's already poisoned to the bone without even realizing it. Not only has he ruined himself, but he'll also bring disaster to his descendants, yet he dares to call himself the number one poison user in the world?"
Tang San's faint, cold laugh caused Dugu Bo's face to darken instantly.
Swish!
Dugu Bo's withered hand emerged from under his robes and gripped Tang San's shoulder, causing the two to vanish from the spot.
By the time Tang San came to his senses, the two were already in a secluded alley.
"Boy, do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
Dugu Bo, the titled Poison Douluo, held the Dao of Poison in high esteem. Upon hearing the sarcasm of a junior, a fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"Hmph! I've been using poison for so many years, I know my own body best, and my poison penetrates to the bone marrow. I thought you had some talent, but it turns out you're just a sharp-tongued brat."
Dugu Bo released his withered hand from Tang San's shoulder, but the powerful aura of the Titled Douluo still pressed down on him.
Aside from speaking, Tang San was completely unable to move.
"Is that so?" With his life and death out of his control, Tang San felt a strong killing intent towards the Poison Douluo, but he simply lowered his head and did not reveal it at all.
Given the disparity in strength between the two sides, unless he possesses one of the top three Hidden Weapon listed in the Hundred Separations of Hidden Weapon," the few Hidden Weapon he currently possesses are simply insufficient to kill his opponent in one strike.
"Then let me ask you, whenever it's cloudy or rainy, do you experience a tingling or itchy sensation in your ribs? It's most severe around noon and midnight, and each time it takes about an hour to suppress it, right?"
Besides, around midnight, I experience excruciating pain in my head and soles of my feet, which I can only suppress by relying on my Soul Power.
Tang San spoke calmly, appearing confident:
"Although I don't know how many rare and precious herbs you consumed to suppress it, the longer it goes on, the more severe the backlash from the toxins in your body will become, ultimately leading to your painful death."
Tang San spoke calmly, causing Dugu Bo's face to darken completely.
Because... Tang San was absolutely right!
If it were only about himself, Dugu Bo wouldn't have reacted so strongly, but this matter involves his beloved granddaughter.
"You mean, the toxins in my body will also appear in Yan'er's body?"
"Of course." Tang San nodded, ever since he first met Dugu Yan.
He had already noticed the backlash from the Martial Soul poison in Dugu Yan's body.
Although the Jade Phosphorous Serpent is a top-tier poison-attribute Beast Martial Soul, its venom backlash is equally terrifying.
Can you solve this?
Having witnessed Tang San remove the poison from Xiao Yan's body, Dugu Bo began to believe Tang San to some extent.
Initially, it followed Dugu Bo's idea.
When the three-day deadline arrived, Tang San had no choice but to come and beg for help.
But there was no response for three days in a row, so Dugu Bo took the initiative to walk towards the Shrek Academy again. After all, knowing their background, he was unwilling to make a deadly enemy for no reason.
He planned to personally demonstrate his skills and remove the toxins from Xiao Yan's body.
It was only by chance that they encountered Tang San that all of this happened.
"Why can't we use this kind of toxic garbage?"
Tang San asked calmly, then continued:
"But why should I help you?"
Seemingly sensing the murderous intent surging in Dugu Bo, Tang San hurriedly spoke again:
"If you force me, I guarantee that the toxins in your and your granddaughter's bodies will never be cleared, and in the end, the toxins will backfire, causing you to die in endless pain."
Dugu Bo listened to Tang San's words, a cold glint flashed in his green eyes.
This is the first time in all these years that he has been threatened by a junior!
"In this way, as long as you can remove the toxins from my granddaughter's body, I guarantee I will not provoke Shrek Academy in the slightest and will owe you a favor. How about it?"
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Tang San began to ponder.
This is undoubtedly a gamble.
However, a favor from a Titled Douluo...
I'll gamble!
Tang San made up his mind.
For Tang San, the favor of a Titled Douluo skilled in using poison was entirely worth the risk.
"Hehe, although I cannot completely eradicate the poison in your body for the time being, I can still alleviate your pain to some extent."
Tang San thought for a moment and then spoke.
He couldn't completely remove the toxins from the Old Poison, but demonstrating his skills to gain its trust and thus increase its apprehension was a good tactic.
As for completely eliminating the other party?
Impossible!
The two sides already had a conflict, and Tang San wouldn't have chosen to cooperate if he weren't outmatched.
"Alright! Then you can leave now!"
Dugu Bo grabbed Tang San and planned to take him away. He wanted to see Tang San's true skills. After all, he only knew that Xiao Yan's poison was gone. He wanted to see for himself whether the boy in front of him had cleaned it up!
"Wait!" Tang San interrupted Dugu Bo, saying, "Please give me a moment. I need to go back to the academy to let them know I'm safe."
When the Grandmaster and the others heard that Tang San was leaving and would cooperate with Dugu Bo, they realized that Tang San was leaving.
The Grandmaster naturally opposed it!
However, he couldn't go against Tang San's wishes, and with Tang San's reassurance, the two sides had now reconciled, so it wouldn't be detrimental to him.
Under the worried gazes of the Grandmaster, Tang San left with Dugu Bo.
However, Xiao Wu did not come out to see Tang San off before leaving.
Zhu Zhuqing went to find Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu heard that Dugu Bo was waiting for Tang San at the door, so she just said that she had reached a key point in her cultivation and did not come out to see him off.
Of the Shrek Eight Monsters, Xiao Yan was still unconscious, Tang San left with Dugu Bo, and the remaining six, at Grandmaster's request, began the next phase of grueling training!
Upon hearing that Tang San needed to prepare some medicinal herbs, Dugu Bo showed a hint of disdain on his face, grabbed Tang San, and returned to his base camp, Sunset Forest.
Upon returning to Dugu Bo's base camp, Tang San witnessed a scene that shocked him.
The legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! And... the many Immortal Herb growing around it!
Tang San never expected that Dugu Bo actually possessed such a blessed land!
No wonder, the toxins in the other person's body were so concentrated, penetrating deep into their bones, yet they were still not seriously injured.
Tang San finally understood the reason.
After all, extreme ice and extreme yang have a suppressive effect on toxins, and cultivating around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well will suppress the toxins in Dugu Bo's body without him even realizing it.
With so many Immortal Herb, it's no wonder the other party had no problems.
"Kid, hurry up and let me see what you're capable of..."
Dugu Bo threw Tang San into the cave without urging him, and simply said:
"I advise you not to go near that pool of ice and fire. Once you enter it, you'll probably be melted into nothingness..."
