Douluo; Zhongli Adventures in Mortal World with Paimon

"Young man, was it you who used a pot of wine to break Yan Yan's poison?"

Sitting down, Dugu Bo glanced sideways at Tang San and said expressionlessly.

Hearing these words, Tang San's mind raced as he quickly picked out the key points from Dugu Bo's words.

Wine, Yan Yan, poison!

After a moment, his eyes lit up in realization!

Back in Sotou City, during their Shrek Academy team's match against the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, the vice-captain of the Heaven Dou team was Dugu Yan!

That girl whose martial soul was the Jade Phosphor Serpent!

Isn't she precisely Dugu Bo's granddaughter?

Understanding this, Tang San looked at Dugu Bo, feeling slightly surprised.

Dugu Yan's martial soul is the Jade Phosphor Serpent, and she appeared to be deeply poisoned, with her green hair and pupils being the best evidence.

This is clearly not a normal person's eye and hair color, and the faint snake poison odor on her was extremely foul to Tang San's senses.

This further confirmed to Tang San that Dugu Yan was poisoned!

And it was her martial soul's own poison!

Strangely, as Dugu Yan's grandfather, whose martial soul was the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, Dugu Bo didn't seem to be poisoned at all?

This puzzled Tang San greatly!

Could it be that Dugu Yan was adopted?

Her condition seemed more hereditary, so the possibility of adoption was low.

Seeing Tang San lost in thought, Dugu Bo was stunned. What's going on?

He spoke so clearly, and this kid named Tang San still didn't get it?

Youngsters should be more self-disciplined!

Dugu Bo shook his head and glanced at Tang San with a look of pity.

Fortunately, Tang San snapped out of his thoughts in time and didn't notice Dugu Bo's gaze. He said, "Your Excellency, back in Sotou City, I indeed used wine mixed with realgar to break Miss Dugu Yan's martial soul poison."

"Since Miss Dugu Yan's cultivation is still shallow, as long as there is a corresponding counteracting substance, breaking her poison isn't difficult."

Tang San spoke with neither arrogance nor humility, holding his own pride, especially in the matter of poison.

What is the Tang Sect?

It's a place specialized in poison, practically the ancestral home of poison in this world.

Mere snake poison didn't require other methods.

"Such arrogance!"

Dugu Bo slammed the table furiously.

If he hadn't held back, the table might not have survived.

His anger wasn't because Tang San broke Dugu Yan's poison!

It was because Tang San had mastered a method that even ordinary people could use to counteract the martial soul poison of their clan's low-level soul masters.

If this got out, what would happen to the low-level soul masters of the Jade Phosphor Serpent clan?

Even if there weren't any now, what about in the future?

Their clan had always been renowned for their snake poison, which made others fear to provoke them.

Wine?

Brilliant, just brilliant!

If this spread, their clan might as well be wiped out.

Facing the enraged Dugu Bo, Tang San remained unfazed.

Since this distinguished elder didn't strike at the beginning, he probably wouldn't strike at all.

"Tang San, you are very good, very good indeed!"

For a moment, Dugu Bo felt a flicker of murderous intent. If he took action, this secret might not be known by anyone.

At worst, he could kill everyone who knew or might know!

Reaching the level of a Title Douluo was no easy task, especially for a lone wolf like Dugu Bo.

He had faced more setbacks than those from major forces!

Besides killing, there was no other way!

Such is the cruelty of the fantasy world.

Seeing Dugu Bo's murderous intent, Tang San's lips curled into a slight, contemptuous smile.

He bet Dugu Bo wouldn't dare to kill him!

"Your Excellency, do you acknowledge your poison as unmatched in the world?"

"Young man, I'm renowned for my poison skills. Naturally, I am unmatched in the world!"

Dugu Bo responded without thinking, almost instinctively.

"Hahaha..."

Tang San laughed, a contemptuous laugh.

Compared to the poisons of the Tang Sect, Dugu Bo's so-called unmatched poison was nothing!

"Boy, what are you laughing at?!"

In almost an instant, Dugu Bo was in front of Tang San, his right hand gripping Tang San's neck as he questioned him.

Despite the difficulty in breathing, Tang San continued to laugh recklessly.

"Cough... cough..."

"Heh, although I don't know why you aren't poisoned, your granddaughter, Dugu Yan, is already terminally ill. In at most ten years, even a god couldn't save her!"

"If you can't even cure your own granddaughter's poison, how can you call yourself unmatched in the world?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's hand stiffened, and he looked at Tang San with some astonishment.

The last person who said he, Dugu Bo, was poisoned was Zhongli!

Of course, he knew he was poisoned, but how could he admit to outsiders, even strangers, that he was poisoned by his own martial soul?

Originally, Dugu Bo was unwilling to believe what Zhongli said, but Zhongli's grip on his neck forced him to believe...

Fortunately, Zhongli didn't deceive him. Zhongli truly could cure the poison for him and Dugu Yan, and even turned their misfortune into a blessing, evolving their martial souls!

As long as their descendants' martial souls didn't degrade back to the Jade Phosphor Serpent, they wouldn't face the backlash of their martial souls.

This was why Dugu Bo was willing to give the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to Zhongli.

As for the property in Heaven Dou City and such, those were trivial matters, not worth mentioning.

If Zhongli were willing to be a guest elder of Heaven Dou, even gifting a main city would be acceptable to Xue Ye.

After thinking for a moment, Dugu Bo released his right hand and, without looking at Tang San, walked to the window, hands behind his back, gazing at the night sky outside.

"Boy, you're right, I'm not unmatched in the world..."

"Didn't expect you to have such high insight into poison."

"Unfortunately, you and that esteemed person came ten years too late!"

Dugu Bo sighed. If Zhongli and Tang San had appeared ten years earlier to solve their family's martial soul poison problem, he would have given up everything, even the title of Title Douluo!

Watching his son and daughter-in-law die was a white-haired man sending off black-haired people...

Dugu Bo didn't doubt whether Tang San could detoxify him. The last person who said so could!

That was enough.

Tang San was stunned, looking at Dugu Bo with some confusion.

"That esteemed person?"

Tang San wasn't stupid. From Dugu Bo's various expressions, he must have been poisoned before.

It's just that someone had already detoxified him!

But Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo, his body thoroughly infiltrated by poison. In such a situation, even Tang San wasn't confident he could cure him.

Who could it be?

Someone even more formidable than Tang San?

In this case, only the legendary immortal herbs could possibly cure him...

Thinking of immortal herbs, Tang San shook his head. That must be an ancestral myth, how could such miraculous things exist in the world?

Zhongli: Ah, right, right!
