"Tianheng, your attack power will never lose to Shi Mo's defense, but your lightning attacks are too scattered. You must learn to focus your power to achieve a concentrated impact."
"Dugu Yan, although your poison is very powerful, its offensive capability is limited and once you encounter a defensive soul master like shi mo's who can resist poison them you need to consider other tactics. For example, you could have used your snake tail to pull Tianheng over to break Shi Mo's defense with his attack power and alternatively, you could have redirected your attacks to Shi Mo, who has no poison resistance so don't just stand there in a daze after one failed attempt and Remember, as the control soul master, you are the brain of the team If the brain doesn't function well, the rest of the body cannot perform properly."
Qin Ming was instructing the group sternly and unlike with his usual gentle demeanor, his tone was particularly serious, reflecting the teaching traditions of Shrek Academy.
"Senior brothers and sisters, you've worked hard!" Jun Tianlin walked forward with a smile.
When everyone saw Jun Tianlin return, they immediately stopped their training.Osler was the first to rush over"Hey, our little Tianlin is back! What do you think of my new hairstyle?"
Osler had somehow adopted a flamboyant haircut that resembled an airplane head and he struck a pose proudly, waiting for praise.
"Senior Osler, I think you looked better with a bald head and If you don't mind, I can help. My sword is very sharp, and I promise I can shave it perfectly." Jun Tianlin grinned mischievously.
"Uh, no thanks! What if your hand slips and chops my head off?" Osler took a few steps back in mock fear.
"It's okay! If I accidentally cut it off, I'll apologize. But for dinner, I'll make sure to sit at the same table with Senior Ye and Sister Yanzi." Jun Tianlin delivered his chilling words with ease.
Osler quickly retreated behind the Shi brothers, finding solace in the shadow of their towering figures and only under the protection of these two burly men did he feel safe.
Qin Ming sighed helplessly "Ah, they're truly a pair of living treasures" he muttered "But Tianlin is still less than eight years old, while Osler is already twelve and behaves like a child all the time."
Though Osler possessed great talent but his lack of focus worried Qin Ming and in team battles, instead of targeting the enemy's backline, Osler might recklessly engage in head-on clashes with their power-attack soul masters and risking the entire strategy.
"Did you get your second soul ring?" Yu Tianheng walked up to Jun Tianlin.
"Yes, Tianheng. Do you remember our agreement? Let's have a match soon!" Jun Tianlin was eager to test his strength against the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon and now that he had his second soul ring, he was confident he could hold his ground despite the slight difference in level.
"I've consumed a lot of soul power today, so how about tomorrow at noon? The venue will be the Royal Academy's Soul Fighting Field. You'll represent the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and I'll represent the Blue Electric tyrant dragon clan. Let's have a fair showdown!"
Tianheng quickly decided on the time and place, and Jun Tianlin readily agreed.
Qin Ming didn't intervene as he knew both boys would exercise restraint, and their duel wasn't a life-and-death struggle. Friendly matches like this were common, and sometimes friendships deepened through such rivalries.
After agreeing to the match, Jun Tianlin turned to Dugu Yan "By the way, Sister Yanzi, your eyes seem a bit greener than before I left."
"Maybe it's because my level increased recently. It's a sign that my poison has grown stronger" Dugu Yan said casually and dismissing any concern. After all, this phenomenon was common in her family as Both her grandfather and late father had experienced it.
Jun Tianlin however, knew this wasn't a good sign and As Dugu Yan's poison grew stronger, the harm it inflicted on her body would increase and According to the original story, her father had died from the backlash of his own poison.
It seemed that her grandfather, Dugu Bo, likely refrained from sharing the truth to avoid scaring or upsetting her so unaware of the seriousness, Dugu Yan didn't realize the potential danger she faced.
Determined to help, Jun Tianlin resolved to focus on the detoxification techniques recorded in the Yuheng Baicao Jing and These methods would not only enable him to remove Dugu Yan's poison but also help improve her combat capabilities.
After returning to his room, Jun Tianlin entered his spiritual sea, where his focus and learning efficiency greatly improved.The Yuheng Baicao Jing contained various methods for neutralizing toxins, as well as notes from Cao Gu, one of the Seven Saints of Shu Mountain.
Cao Gu, a renowned healer, had saved countless lives, including many practitioners who were poisoned by their own techniques. For those with malicious intent, Cao Gu often eliminated their poison altogether, rendering them powerless. However, for individuals of pure intent, she developed alternative methods to safely neutralize toxins.
One such method was similar to the approach Tang San used to treat Dugu Bo—transferring toxins into a medium so they wouldn't harm the user and in the world of Shu Mountain, the medium was usually a magical weapon but In the world of Douluo, the equivalent was the soul bone.
Jun Tianlin realized that transferring poison wasn't a simple process as it required a specific guidance method combined with medicinal remedies, all of which were detailed in the Yuheng Baicao Jing and he estimated it would take him about six months to fully master these techniques and safely detoxify Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
This approach would also allow him to collect the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with a clear conscience. While he could ask Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo to forcibly seize the resources from Dugu Bo but such a "clever robbery" didn't align with Jun Tianlin's principles.
The immortal herbs was meant for virtuous people. Jun Tianlin believed that stealing it from others disqualified one from being called virtuous. Moreover, Dugu Yan was now his friend and upholding his bottom line, he decided to leave a share of the immortal herbs for both Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo.
