Chapter 57 Dugu Bo's Choice
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Tang Chuan frowned slightly, and he was about to explain.
But then a fierce sense of oppression struck again.
In an instant, Dugu Bo suddenly raised his hand, grabbed Tang Chuan by the throat, and slowly lifted him up.
Tang Chuan felt a tightness in his throat, his breathing became rapid, and he couldn't make a sound. The world spun around him, and his vision blurred.
Just as Tang Chuan felt he could barely hold on, his eyes flashed, and a blue-gold light suddenly shone from his body—his self-created soul skill was activated!
next second.
A straw doll that looked exactly like Tang Chuan appeared in Dugu Bo's hands. The straw doll's eyes were empty and lifeless, and its body remained in the same position it had been in when it was lifted up.
"What kind of soul skill is this?!"
Looking at the scene before him, Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback. A hint of astonishment and doubt flashed in his originally calm eyes, and he said in disbelief.
He never expected that the young man in front of him could escape his control in such a short time, and even make him completely miss his target using such methods.
Just as Dugu Bo was wondering, a clear voice came from not far away:
"Senior Dugu, you may have misunderstood me."
"How could I possibly harm your granddaughter? What reason would I have to harm her?"
Dugu Bo suddenly looked up and saw Tang Chuan's figure reappear.
The latter was standing in the shadows at the end of the path, only a dozen steps away from him.
The soul skill Tang Chuan just used was his self-created soul skill, Blue Silver Wood Substitute, which allows him to replace himself with a straw doll made of Blue Silver Grass the moment he is attacked.
"Heh." Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes remained cold. He let out a sneer, his deep voice emanating from his throat: "Why should I believe you?"
Tang Chuan frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, then smiled calmly and said:
"Senior, if you don't trust me, you can personally stand guard by my side while I'm detoxifying your granddaughter. If I dare to play any tricks, you can kill me at any time."
A glint of green light flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. He glanced coldly at Tang Chuan and said in a deep voice, "Boy, even I can't cure the poison in our Dugu family. How can a teenager like you possibly cure it? You don't have some ulterior motive, do you?"
Hidden motives? Of course!
However, Tang Chuan could not tell Dugu Bo why he did this.
If it weren't for the rare medicinal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he really wouldn't want to be a pushover and try every means to help others detoxify!
Just then, a hint of displeasure flashed in Tang Chuan's eyes, but his expression remained calm as he said:
"You can choose to believe that I can cure your granddaughter's poison, or you can choose not to."
"Anyway, it's not me who's suffering, but your granddaughter and yourself."
"You're courting death!" Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression changed instantly, and the oppressive aura emanating from his body erupted once more, causing the surrounding air to freeze instantly due to the powerful fluctuations in his soul power.
He was just about to make another move against Tang Chuan.
However, Tang Chuan continued calmly at this moment:
"Senior Dugu, when it's cloudy or rainy, do you experience numbness in your ribs on both sides? And does it gradually intensify? It happens twice a day, once at noon and once at midnight. Given your current condition, each episode should last for more than an hour?"
"Furthermore, every night, around the third watch of the night, you experience needle-like stabbing pains on the top of your head and the soles of your feet, accompanied by full-body spasms that last for at least half an hour. I don't need to describe this excruciating pain in detail, do I?"
These symptoms all come from Tang San's description of Dugu Bo in the original novel.
As a time traveler, Tang Chuan naturally knew everything about it.
"How...how do you know all this?" Dugu Bo froze on the spot.
"I told you, I can cure your granddaughter's poison, and I can even cure the poison in your body. Do you believe me now?" Tang Chuan smiled slightly and said calmly.
"Kid, you do seem to have some skills after all." Dugu Bo had calmed down by now, and the murderous aura around him gradually subsided. He looked at Tang Chuan, a complex light flashing in his eyes, and snorted coldly, "Since that's the case, then I'll choose to believe you this once."
"However, you'd better not try anything funny. Otherwise, I have a thousand ways to make you wish you were dead."
Tang Chuan didn't say much, he just nodded slightly.
"Boy, I'll be waiting for you in the herb garden in Sunset Forest."
I hope you won't let me down.
Dugu Bo's expression softened slightly as his gaze swept coldly over Tang Chuan once more. Then, with a flash, a ripple appeared in the air, and he vanished from his spot in an instant.
"That old guy is finally gone."
"Luckily, he didn't really intend to kill me just now, otherwise..."
Tang Chuan looked in the direction where Dugu Bo had disappeared and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation just now was so tense that he could almost feel the sweat dripping down his forehead. At this moment, his clothes were completely soaked with cold sweat.
Tang Chuan never expected that Dugu Bo would come to him at this time.
Recalling the conversation he had just had, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Dugu Bo belongs to Prince Xuexing and the Avalanche faction.
This faction has always been at odds with Xue Qinghe, and since he was introduced to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy by Xue Qinghe, isn't this tantamount to standing on the side of Dugu Bo's opposing forces?
This relationship made Tang Chuan's scalp tingle.
With his current strength, if a Title Douluo really wanted to kill him, he would have no chance to resist. Therefore, he must be cautious in every step he takes from now on.
"I need to win over that old poisoner to my side as soon as possible. I can't let him continue like this with Avalanche and his gang." Tang Chuan thought to himself as he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
…………
The next morning.
As dawn breaks in the east, sunlight filters through the treetops.
It was scattered on an open space outside Shrek Academy.
Tang San sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, concentrating on circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill while simultaneously cultivating the Purple Demon Eye. In his eyes, a faint purple light flickered, and a subtle brilliance gathered.
His aura was restrained and profound, and his soul power flowed smoothly.
At this moment, his figure was more upright than before, and the faint curve of his spine between his shoulders and back was no longer the naive appearance he had when he first became a Soul Master.
At this moment, Tang San had successfully obtained his third spirit ring, and just like in the original story, he also unexpectedly absorbed an external spirit bone, the Eight Spider Lances, which greatly increased his strength.
Just as he was concentrating on his cultivation, he was suddenly gently patted on the shoulder.
Tang San suddenly opened his eyes, a faint purple light flashing, and turned to look.
A middle-aged man was standing quietly behind him.
A gentle and gratified smile graced his face.
"Teacher?!" Tang San stood up with great surprise and excitement, asking, "When did you arrive?"
He raised his hand and patted Tang San's head, a habitual gesture of his, and said:
"Little San, in my previous letter to you I said I would come to Shrek Academy to find you, and I definitely will. You certainly didn't disappoint me; you chose a poisonous spirit beast for your third spirit ring."
"Teacher, isn't this all thanks to your excellent teaching?" Tang San said with a smile.
However, at that moment...
The master's expression suddenly darkened, his tone low and suppressed: "Third Brother, tell me, why did you dare to absorb a soul beast whose age couldn't even be determined?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San was taken aback, a look of hesitation and regret flashing across his face. He then spoke in a low voice, "Teacher... that day Xiao Wu was captured, I was panicked and couldn't think of anything else. I... I was afraid it wouldn't be enough time to save her, so..."
"So you risked your life to absorb a soul beast from an unknown age?!" The master's voice rose instantly, his eyes blazing with fury, and he gasped for breath.
Immediately afterward, he abruptly raised his hand, grabbed Tang San's shoulder, and shook him violently. His eyes were slightly red, and he completely lost control of his emotions.
"You mistress, do you even realize what I promised your father I would take good care of you?! If you die, how am I supposed to face him?!"
"Have you thought about this?! If something happens to you, who will prove everything I've upheld all these years, my martial spirit theories?!"
I'm asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes.
