Chapter 513 Show the Master a thing or two
Tang San glanced at Dugu Bo, whose expression had turned dumbfounded with shock and astonishment after hearing his words, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face:
"It seems I was right; you were aware that you were poisoned."
As soon as Tang San finished speaking, everyone else from Shrek Academy, as well as Tang Hao and Sword Douluo who were hiding in the shadows, were stunned.
They never expected that the Poison Douluo before them, who was the most powerful poison master in the entire Douluo Continent, would actually be poisoned by his own poison, and that the poison had already seeped into his bones.
No wonder he was all green and looked eerie, neither human nor ghost. It turned out he was terminally ill and wouldn't live much longer.
Dugu Bo looked at Tang San, surprised but mostly amused. His face remained expressionless, his tone as cold as ever:
"So what? Do you have a solution?"
Tang San's eyes flickered slightly, realizing this was an opportunity, so he said calmly:
"There is, of course, a solution."
"However, you need to exchange something, such as the super-limit absorption method for spirit rings that you possess."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo immediately laughed:
"So this is where you were waiting for me."
"A method for absorbing spirit rings beyond the limit? Hah, you really dare to dream. A mere brat like you, do you even have the right to negotiate with me?"
"While I'm still interested, you'd better tell me what antidotes you know, or I won't hesitate to let you experience what cruelty is."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo waved his right hand, and the emerald green ball of light in his palm flew out and exploded in front of Tang San with a bang, turning into a blazing emerald green flame.
Sensing the terrifying poison contained within the emerald flames, Tang San felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively took a half-step back.
But to appear fearless, he gritted his teeth and pulled his foot back, standing fearlessly before the sizzling, green flames that corroded the ground:
"I think I'm quite qualified to negotiate with my seniors."
"After all, I have the antidote, and you desperately need it to detoxify and prolong your life."
"If you try to use any means to force me to tell you, I can tell you clearly that once you do that, you will never be able to get the antidote from me again in this lifetime."
"I, Tang San, am tough in every way except for my mouth."
"Oh, really? If you put it that way, I'm even more eager to try it."
Dugu Bo flashed and arrived in front of Tang San, raising his hand to grab him.
Tang San's pupils contracted sharply as he saw Dugu Bo appear before him in the blink of an eye. He hadn't expected that Dugu Bo, that old poisoner, would actually make a move without warning. His words hadn't intimidated him at all.
Without time to think, Tang San hurriedly activated his soul power, and his Blue Silver Grass martial soul moved accordingly, with three soul rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—instantly appearing beneath his feet.
At the same time, the first spirit ring suddenly shone brightly, and the first spirit skill—Blue Silver Entanglement—was activated.
The purplish-black Blue Silver Grass with strange ring-shaped bamboo nodes grew wildly from Tang San's body and the ground under his full power, wrapping around Dugu Bo and binding him tightly almost instantly.
However, this didn't help.
A terrifying scene unfolded: those strangely shaped blue silver grasses were completely unable to control Dugu Bo for even a millisecond, and they couldn't even touch Dugu Bo's body.
As soon as they clung to Dugu Bo's body, they melted away like ice and snow, completely dissolved by the highly poisonous soul power released by Dugu Bo.
"Come on, let me see just how stubborn you really are."
In the blink of an eye, Dugu Bo's large hand had already grabbed Tang San's neck and lifted him into the air.
Before a Title Douluo, Tang San was like an ant. No matter how much he struggled, he could not break free from Dugu Bo's iron-like restraints and could only kick his legs in vain.
"Xiao San." "Tang San." "Third Brother."
Dugu Bo's sudden attack startled everyone at Shrek Academy, and they all cried out in surprise.
"Let go of my hand."
The first to react and attack Dugu Bo was the hot-tempered rogue rabbit Xiao Wu.
The moment Xiao Wu saw Tang San being choked by Dugu Bo, her mind went blank. Without thinking, she immediately activated her martial soul, transforming into a humanoid rabbit. With a kick, she leaped into the air and aimed a kick at Dugu Bo's head.
Unfortunately, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great. Dugu Bo didn't even dodge, and slapped Xiao Wu across the face from a distance.
Xiao Wu couldn't even get within three meters of Dugu Bo before she was slapped hard to the ground and knocked unconscious.
Seeing this, the other Shrek Academy members were immediately enraged and summoned their martial souls and soul rings. Flander and Zhao Wuji put down the seriously injured Yu Xiaogang and rushed towards Dugu Bo.
Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and Ma Hongjun, three Beast Soul Masters, directly possessed their Martial Souls, preparing for both defense and attack at any time.
Ning Rongrong held her martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, in her hands, ready to release its seven-colored light and enhance everyone's attributes.
Oscar also began chanting a lewd incantation and started kneading large sausages, small sausages, and mushroom sausages by hand.
But at that moment, a terrifying pressure of soul power suddenly descended from the sky, violently suppressing the Shrek Academy students.
Whether it was Flander and Zhao Wuji rushing forward, or Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and Ma Hongjun looking wary and vigilant, or Ning Rongrong preparing to cast a spell to assist, or Oscar rubbing various intestines with his hands.
In the blink of an eye, they were all suppressed and forced to the ground with a thud.
This oppressive force of soul power naturally came from Dugu Bo.
He had no interest in fighting these insignificant rats; a single use of his soul power to suppress them would suffice. Why bother with a fight?
Moreover, his target wasn't these little mice, but rather the two big mice lurking in the shadows.
If it weren't for that shapeshifting rabbit's inexplicable attack on him, he wouldn't have bothered with her at all. He would have just slapped her as a lesson.
However, those two big rats in the shadows are really patient; they haven't made a move yet.
Dugu Bo grabbed Tang San by the neck with one hand while using his soul power to suppress the Shrek Academy students.
On the surface, all their attention was focused on Tang San and the Shrek Academy students, but their minds were already wandering to Tang Hao and Sword Douluo, who were hiding in the shadows.
Tang Hao and Sword Douluo, hidden in the shadows, watched the changes unfolding on the field with solemn and serious expressions.
Compared to Sword Douluo's composure, Tang Hao's eyes were filled with more anger and killing intent. His right hand was already in a clenched position, but in the end he did not summon the Clear Sky Hammer. Instead, he went straight out and smashed Dugu Bo to death.
Tang Hao vaguely sensed something was wrong; it seemed that Dugu Bo didn't want the mistress to die.
It makes sense. If Dugu Bo is indeed poisoned and near death, then the antidote in Xiao San's possession is his lifeline, and he would never easily harm Xiao San.
In that case, we might as well wait a little longer.
If Xiao San could exchange the method of absorbing the ultimate soul ring from Dugu Bo, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
If it succeeds, then I won't have to risk aggravating my internal injuries by fighting to the death with that old poisoner, Dugu Bo.
My dear mistress, it's up to you now. Don't disappoint your father.
…………
The icy soul power entered Tang San's body from the large hand on his neck. Tang San felt a numbness throughout his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His limbs were stiff and he could not move, and he could not gather his soul power.
Faced with the terrifyingly powerful Dugu Bo, Tang San was almost powerless to resist and nearly fell into despair.
Fortunately, although his character wasn't great, his talent was quite remarkable, and he had a relatively calm mind. Although this was useless in the face of an absolute difference in strength, it gave him the courage to resist.
The Blue Silver Grass formed from soul power could not even last half a second against Dugu Bo's deadly poison, and could not cause any damage at all, but he had another martial soul.
Tang San was unwilling to sit and wait for death, so he directly activated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, condensing all his soul power into his left arm, forcibly expelling the cold aura in his left hand and restoring its function.
Immediately afterward, Tang San had a thought, and a hammer suddenly appeared in his left palm. The hammer was not large, and it was completely black, covered with intricate patterns, yet it carried a sense of weight.
It was his second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.
The moment the Haotian Hammer landed in his hand, Tang San seemed to instantly gain boundless courage. Driven by the internal energy of the Xuan Tian Gong, he combined the Meteor Hammer technique with the forging method of the Chaotic Cloak, and swung the hammer towards Dugu Bo's forehead.
It was almost exactly the same as when he first entered Shrek Academy and struck Zhao Wuji with a heavy blow.
However, Tang San ultimately underestimated the terror of a Title Douluo. The difference in strength was like heaven and earth, which was not something that a mere Soul Master like him could overcome.
Even if Dugu Bo stood right in front of him without dodging or flinching, he couldn't possibly harm Dugu Bo in the slightest.
Before the hammer could even hit Dugu Bo's head, it had already disappeared from Tang San's hand and ended up in Dugu Bo's hands. Tang San didn't even know how Dugu Bo had taken the hammer from him.
"Oh? The Haotian Hammer?"
Holding the Clear Sky Hammer formed from Tang San's soul power, Dugu Bo's expression turned slightly serious as he suddenly remembered something.
I almost forgot, this kid has the bloodline of the Clear Sky Sect, he's the son of that bastard Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo.
His Highness the Holy Son said that Tang Hao had been following this kid closely, protecting him in secret. So, besides Sword Douluo Chen Xin, the other one of the two Title Douluos hiding in the shadows is Tang Hao.
Come to think of it, the titled aura I sensed at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy last time was none other than Tang Hao's aura. I had completely forgotten about it and couldn't even remember it.
It seems I've been too comfortable with my cultivation lately; I need a good, exhilarating battle to stimulate my mind.
Just then, an angry roar suddenly entered his ears, interrupting Dugu Bo's thoughts:
"Dugu Bo, let Tang San go!"
Dugu Bo came to his senses and looked in the direction of the voice. He found that the person who spoke was none other than Yu Xiaogang, the useless master who had been seriously injured by a simple burst of his soul power.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang finally caught his breath and struggled to get up from the ground, but he was unable to move due to the suppression of the soul power released by Dugu Bo.
Watching helplessly as his beloved disciple Tang San's neck was gripped in Dugu Bo's hand, his life hanging by a thread, Yu Xiaogang felt a heartache so intense he could hardly breathe.
Although he initially took Tang San as his disciple with the intention of finding a genius to test his martial soul theory, over the years, he has come to regard Tang San as his own child.
Ever since Tang San said the words "A teacher for a day is a father for life," the relationship between him and Tang San has become more than just that of teacher and student; it also includes the bond of father and son.
Seeing Tang San fall into Dugu Bo's hands, Yu Xiaogang, unable to do anything due to his own lack of strength, fell into deep despair.
"Dugu Bo, you'd better release Tang San, or I, Yu Xiaogang, swear that I will use all my strength to make you suffer a terrible death."
Driven by extreme despair, Yu Xiaogang suddenly became hysterical and began to scream recklessly.
Meeting Yu Xiaogang's wolf-like gaze, Dugu Bo frowned and said disdainfully:
"What arrogance! You, a level 29 trash Soul Master, dare to say you'll make me suffer a terrible death? Believe me or not, I can crush you with a single finger."
"you"
Dugu Bo's words caused Yu Xiaogang to feel a surge of anger and rage, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The last thing he wanted to hear in his life was the word "trash."
"Xiaogang, don't say anything yet."
Yu Xiaogang wanted to say something more, but Flander stopped him.
He knew that because of Tang San, Yu Xiaogang had lost his composure and started talking nonsense.
We can't let him continue talking, otherwise, none of them will be able to leave this forest alive.
After all, they were facing Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, who was ruthless and vicious, and whose name alone was enough to make people tremble with fear. With just a handful of deadly poison, he could kill all of them.
Flander, who was forced to lie on the ground by the oppressive power of the soul force, struggled to prop himself up and forced himself to calm down. He pleaded with Dugu Bo:
"Your Majesty, Poison Douluo, Xiao Gang was just in a hurry and said some nonsense. Please forgive him, as you are a magnanimous person."
"Furthermore, Tang San in your hands is a student of our Shrek Academy. He is only fourteen years old and still a child. You are a Title Douluo, so I hope you will show mercy and let him go."
"If you want to know the antidote that Tang San mentioned, I will have him tell you."
Flander spoke very subtly, with a hint of sarcasm in his words, implying that Dugu Bo was bullying the weak and that this did not conform to the moral principles and righteousness upheld by the Soul Master world.
Unfortunately, Dugu Bo was someone who wouldn't listen to either soft or hard tactics. No matter how subtle or pleasant Flander's words were, they had no effect on Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo chuckled:
"You say you won't hold it against me, and you say you'll show leniency? Where would that leave the face of the Poison Douluo?"
"Heh—, this mere piece of trash dares to say to my face that I'll suffer a terrible death. If I don't teach him a lesson, wouldn't it make me seem like an easy target?"
After speaking, Dugu Bo raised his finger and pointed at Yu Xiaogang. A drop of emerald green venom instantly condensed at his fingertip, carrying an irresistible soul power, and crashed down.
