Jade Phosphorous Backlash, Dugu Yan Falls

The turquoise poisonous fog suddenly exploded.

In the center of the training field.

Stone slabs, wooden stakes, and bamboo shadows that had not yet been retrieved were all covered by poisonous gas.

Dong Jian was closest, did not retreat.

The Bear Astral Energy Body Protection instantly materialized.

Black and White Gang Qi enveloped his entire body.

He stepped forward and caught the unconscious Dugu Yan.

The poisonous mist came into contact with the protective aura.

It immediately emitted a fine, corrosive sound.

hiss--

Dong Jian's arm went numb.

Even before the skin has truly come into contact with the toxins, the circulation of Soul Power has already noticeably slowed down.

"Don't breathe!"

The Green Jade Bamboo in Li Man's hand fell to the ground.

She did not attempt to seal the poisonous fog with bamboo vines.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison will continue to spread along the plant's Soul Power.

Forcibly wrapping it will only allow the toxins to enter all the array's points.

"Main formation, move to the outside!"

Four bamboo shadows rose simultaneously from the edge of the training field.

The center of the formation did not approach Dugu Yan.

Instead, it landed on the outer edge of the poisonous fog.

Four outward-extending channels are formed between the bamboo and rattan.

"Yu Feng!"

The Yu Feng- controlling ability is extremely fast.

Although the left wing had not fully recovered, it immediately activated its Martial Soul.

He did not rush into the poisonous fog.

It only flaps its wings on the outside.

The airflow flows outward along the four channels left by Li Man.

The poisonous fog did not continue to spread to the other members of the Imperial Fighting Team.

Instead, it was divided into four strands.

They led the way to the sandy area around the training ground, which had already been cleared.

"Everyone back off!"

Qin Ming gave a low shout.

Yu Tianheng, the Shi Brothers, and Osler immediately left the drug zone.

Ye Lingling, however, walked forward.

The Nine Heart Begonia blooms in the palm of your hand.

The white petals glowed with a soft light.

"Put her down."

Dong Jian knelt on the ground.

Dugu Yan was not allowed to directly touch the stone slab covered by the poisonous fog.

Li Man's bamboo vines extended from the outside.

A simple bamboo mat was laid on the ground.

Dong Jian placed Dugu Yan on top.

Until this point.

Only then did everyone see her condition clearly.

Dugu Yan's face was pale.

The lips, however, had an abnormal bluish-purple color.

Beneath the skin of the neck and arms, faint emerald green lines were moving.

Those patterns don't resemble normal veins.

They look more like tiny, venomous snakes.

It is gathering from the limbs towards the heart.

Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia shone with light.

The meridian damage to Dugu Yan's shoulders and wrists caused by the leakage of toxins was rapidly recovering.

But her complexion did not improve.

The green lines under the skin are still visible.

It even appears clearer because the external injuries have been repaired.

"How about it?"

Qin Ming asked.

Ye Lingling did not answer immediately.

She closed her eyes.

The petals of the Nine Heart Begonia unfold one by one.

The healing Soul Power entered Dugu Yan's body.

A moment later.

Ye Lingling opened her eyes.

I can only repair damage caused by toxins.

"We can't let the poison disappear."

The poison in Dugu Yan's body was not from an external attack.

It came from her own Martial Soul.

Nine Heart Begonia can treat meridian disorders.

However, they were unable to eliminate her Martial Soul power as ordinary toxins.

Forcibly dispersed.

This is tantamount to destroying the foundation of Dugu Yan's Soul Power.

"Let her wake up first."

Qin Ming said.

Ye Lingling nodded.

The healing light focused on Dugu Yan's heart.

The green lines near the heart paused briefly.

Dugu Yan twitched her fingers slightly.

The next moment.

She suddenly opened her eyes.

My first reaction wasn't to ask what happened.

Instead, they gritted their teeth and forcibly withdrew the leaking toxic fumes.

"Don't accept it!"

Li Man immediately said.

Dugu Yan did not stop.

The turquoise poisonous gas that had been spreading around the training ground was simultaneously flowing back into her body.

The surrounding bamboo shadows quickly turned green.

Li Man proactively deactivated two of the array's key points.

To prevent toxins from entering one's own Soul Power circulation along the Green Jade Bamboo Martial Soul.

"My own poison."

Dugu Yan's voice was hoarse.

"Of course we should take it back."

What you're collecting now isn't Soul Power.

Li Man said:

"It's a poison that's out of control."

"Stay outside."

There are other people in the academy.

Dugu Yan is still trying to control it.

But the poisonous mist had just returned to his arm.

The green lines under the skin then accelerated again.

She felt a sharp pain in her chest.

The body is curled up.

Ye Lingling immediately used the Nine Heart Begonia to stabilize her meridians.

"Stop."

For the first time, she spoke in an almost commanding tone:

Your body can't take it.

Dugu Yan looked at her hands.

Bluish-purple fingertips.

My arms are cold.

But it felt like a fire was burning in my heart.

This isn't the first time.

From the time she began cultivating the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.

Every now and then.

The body will experience temporary numbness.

After the Soul Power is increased.

The numbness gradually turned into a tingling sensation.

She always believed that it was simply the price that a Poison Soul Master had to pay for cultivating.

Grandpa was the same way.

Even more serious than hers.

"It happened before."

Dugu Yan said in a low voice.

Qin Ming frowned.

Why weren't you told?

"It recovers every time."

How long will it take to recover?

"The first half hour."

Dugu Yan paused for a moment.

"In the next hour or two..."

What about recently?

Ye Lingling asked.

Dugu Yan did not answer.

Li Man looked at her.

"Recently, it no longer only appears after using Soul Skill."

"Is that right?"

Dugu Yan raised her head.

How did you know?

"These seven days."

Li Man said:

"Even when you are not releasing your Martial Soul, a faint fluctuation of toxins will appear around you."

"It started only on the wrist."

"It reached my shoulder yesterday."

Dugu Yan clenched her right hand.

Dong Jian sat on the other side.

After a brief exposure to the toxic fog.

A layer of emerald green residue remained on the surface of his Bear Astral Energy Body Protection.

The black and white Soul Power is slowly pushing it away.

It's not an antidote.

It only prevents the toxins from further penetrating.

He looked at Dugu Yan's chest.

The poison isn't flowing outwards.

"It's sinking inwards."

Qin Ming asked:

"You can feel it?"

"It's not about directly sensing the toxins."

Dong Jian answered.

"Just before she collapsed."

"My body's center of gravity keeps shifting towards my chest."

When a normal person loses consciousness.

Body weight will naturally cause you to sag.

Dugu Yan was different.

Her limbs felt noticeably lighter.

It felt as if a sudden weight had been added to my chest and back.

That's not a change in bones.

Instead, a large amount of Soul Power and toxins simultaneously contracted towards the center of the body.

"Toxins are accumulating in the internal organs?"

Ye Lingling's expression was solemn.

"And the bones."

Li Man said.

She cannot directly use the Bamboo Heart Sensing to probe the human body.

However, when Dugu Yan's Soul Power leaked out.

The toxins produced a noticeable reaction with the surrounding plants.

The area of the ground that first withers is not the part closest to the palm.

Instead, it corresponds to the area of her spine and chest.

"Nonsense."

Dugu Yan sat up, leaning against the bamboo shadows.

"If the poison has already entered the bones."

I'm already dead.

"Precisely because it is your Martial Soul power."

Li Man said:

"Your body wasn't poisoned immediately."

"But they weren't poisoned."

"That doesn't mean we can endure it indefinitely."

Dugu Yan wanted to refute.

But then another sharp pain shot through my chest.

Her breathing suddenly stopped.

Ye Lingling received immediate treatment.

This time.

The radiance of the Nine Heart Begonia lasts longer.

Until the green lines temporarily retreated from the arm.

"We need to inform His Majesty the Poison Douluo."

Qin Ming said.

"No."

Dugu Yan refused almost immediately.

"Why?"

"After he found out..."

"They will take me back."

"That's still better than you continuing to collapse on the training field."

Qin Ming took out the academy's communication token.

Dugu Yan tried to get up to stop her.

But his body lacked strength.

"Teacher Qin Ming."

"You know my grandfather's temper."

He won't listen to your explanations.

"And I will never allow anyone to study my poison."

Qin Ming did not stop.

What you need right now is not training.

It's not that I'm hiding anything.

"He is someone who can treat the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison."

"He is one of the strongest poison Soul Master on the continent."

"If even he doesn't know your situation."

Who can take responsibility?

Dugu Yan remained silent.

She knew, of course, that her grandfather was also suffering from the backlash of the toxins.

Even when I was a child.

She once saw Dugu Bo locked in his room alone on a rainy day.

No one is allowed to approach.

The ground outside the door.

It will be corroded by the leaked toxins and turn dark green.

However, Dugu Bo never admitted that it was a problem.

He said:

The stronger the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.

The stronger the backlash, the greater the negative impact.

This is simply the price of the strong.

But if that really is a price to pay...

Why can't she even stand up now?

The message has been sent.

Qin Ming dismissed the others from the training ground.

Only Ye Lingling, Dong Jian, and Li Man remained.

Dong Jian should have left as well.

He had just been exposed to toxic fumes.

But Ye Lingling discovered...

Although the black and white Soul Power could not neutralize the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison.

However, it can keep the small amount of toxins that have invaded the body surface in a relatively stable position.

It did not spread inward immediately.

"Your Soul Power can suppress the poison?"

Dugu Yan asked.

"Cannot."

Dong Jian answered.

"Just leave it in place for now."

"Why?"

"After it entered Bear Astral Energy Body Protection..."

"It will be affected by two forces at the same time."

"A force is pressing inward."

"A force pushing outwards."

It's temporarily stuck.

Li Man looked at his arm.

The emerald green mark indeed stopped in the middle of the protective energy.

It was not completely eliminated.

There was no further intrusion.

"The black and white Soul Power are in opposite directions."

She said:

"It can temporarily immobilize external forces."

Dugu Yan stared at the layer of poison.

"Can it be used on me?"

"Have no idea."

Dong Jian did not try to be brave.

"And the poison is inside your body."

"My Soul Power cannot directly enter your meridians."

Teammates cannot use their own Soul Power to stabilize another Soul Master's internal Martial Soul.

Forced injection.

It will only cause a conflict between two different types of Soul Power.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison is especially dangerous.

Slightly out of control.

Dong Jian himself will also be poisoned.

Li Man looked towards the outermost core of the formation.

"You can't press it from the inside."

"We can leave a path for it from the outside."

Dugu Yan frowned.

"What's the meaning?"

"After the poisonous fog erupted just now."

Li Man said:

Your body actually felt a brief moment of relief.

"What truly causes you pain again."

"It's about bringing the runaway toxins back in."

"If the toxins in the body could be released outwards."

"It doesn't go back into the internal organs."

"It can at least relieve some stress."

Ye Lingling asked:

"Get the toxins out?"

"Not all of it was expelled."

Li Man shook her head.

"The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison is part of her power."

"Emptying the Martial Soul is equivalent to destroying it."

"Only draw out the portion that has exceeded the body's capacity."

Dugu Yan looked at her.

Where should I put it?

Li Man had no answer.

Ordinary containers cannot withstand high concentrations of Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison.

Plants will wither.

The stone will corrode.

Metals may not be able to be stored for long periods of time.

More importantly...

If the poison that was drawn out completely loses contact with Dugu Yan.

Her Martial Soul foundation may be damaged.

We must find a way to contain the toxins.

Something that can also maintain contact with the Soul Master.

Outside the training field.

The sky suddenly darkened for a moment.

It's not a dark cloud.

Instead, a layer of rich, emerald light swept across the top of the academy.

The grass and trees in the air drooped at the same time.

The guarding Soul Master in the distance hadn't even had a chance to speak.

A tall, thin figure had already appeared at the entrance to the training ground.

Long green hair cascaded down her back.

Sunken eye sockets.

A pair of emerald green eyes swept across the ground corroded by the poisonous fog.

Finally, it stopped on Dugu Yan.

The aura of Titled Douluo.

It was not fully released.

But it silenced the entire training ground instantly.

Dugu Yan's expression changed slightly.

"Grandfather."

Dugu Bo stepped into the toxic zone.

The lingering venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison seemed to be summoned.

They all parted to the sides.

He didn't look at Qin Ming.

I didn't even look at Dong Jian or Li Man.

Only one hand is extended.

He placed his hand on Dugu Yan's shoulder.

A moment later.

That gloomy face.

This was the first time he showed genuine anger.

"Who told you to cultivate poison to your very bones?"
