Chapter 515 Using Tang Hao as a whetstone
Dugu Bo's gaze turned serious as he looked deeply at Tang San, but instead of immediately attacking him, he asked another question:
"Besides using the soul bone to remove the poison, are there any other methods?"
Tang San shook his head:
"That's all."
Dugu Bo was speechless.
I thought this kid would come up with some good ideas, but this is all? Compared to His Highness the Holy Son, he's far inferior.
The Holy Son gave four different antidotes, and he explained the advantages and disadvantages of each one clearly.
It even provides a perfect solution to the backlash from toxins—the method of cultivating poison skills.
However, this kid only offered one method: using the soul bone to remove the poison, and it was full of errors and omissions, causing endless harm.
At this moment, the slight interest that had arisen in Dugu Bo's heart finally dissipated completely.
Tang San was unaware that Dugu Bo had lost interest in him. His eyes darted around, and as if remembering something, he suddenly spoke:
"I have a question, and I wonder if you could enlighten me?"
Dugu Bo's eyes gleamed green as he gazed at Tang San with a sinister look:
"explain."
Tang San immediately said:
"As I just said, the poison you suffered from was caused by the backlash of the toxins inherent in your martial soul, and it cannot be suppressed by your soul power."
"But the senior was able to suppress the backlash of the toxins and survive until now. It must be because he took some kind of rare and precious herb, which alleviated the backlash of the toxins to some extent."
"As far as I know, there is only one rare and precious material that can do this, and that is...celestial medicinal herbs."
"So, I'd like to ask, is the rare and precious herb you consumed, senior, a kind of celestial medicinal herb?"
This kid actually knows about celestial-grade medicinal herbs? Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly contracted, and in the next instant, a cold light, like that of a venomous snake, flashed in his eyes:
"Where did you learn about these rare medicinal herbs?"
Noticing the sudden change in Dugu Bo's expression, Tang San instantly knew that his guess was correct. This old poisoner, Dugu Bo, must have taken some celestial herbs; otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a strong reaction.
Therefore, the two types of primordial energy containing extreme ice and fire attributes that I sensed from the thick white fog shrouding the mountain peaks in front of me are probably, as I guessed, from the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
That old poisoner is really lucky; he actually managed to find such a treasure trove and claim it as his own medicinal garden.
That is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, one of the three great treasure basins in the world, a place where the essence of heaven and earth gathers, a treasure land that may not be formed even in tens of millions of years.
The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, with its twin nature and mutually restraining forces, possesses uniquely favorable conditions, making it a paradise for the growth of various rare plants, including celestial herbs that gather the primordial energy of heaven and earth and absorb the essence of the sun and moon.
There must be more than one rare medicinal herb born in this place. I wonder if Dugu Bo has ruined them all. If so, it would be such a pity.
It would be wonderful if I could obtain the divine herbs born from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Thinking about all this, Tang San couldn't help but feel excited, but on the surface he remained calm.
"I have my own methods for obtaining these rare medicinal herbs, but it is a secret and I cannot disclose it to you."
Tang San answered Dugu Bo's question, but didn't elaborate. Instead, he pointed to the mountain peak shrouded in white mist and said:
"The fact that the senior was still able to survive despite the severe backlash from the poison and even cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo must be closely related to the senior's herb garden."
"If I'm not mistaken, the location of your medicine garden is at the top of this mountain, and there lies a treasure basin called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye."
Dugu Bo's eyes widened suddenly, the green light in them intensifying, and his cold, hoarse voice carried a hint of surprise:
"You actually know about the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?"
Tang San smiled slightly and said calmly:
"That's natural."
"The terrifying energy of heaven and earth and the extreme ice and fire attributes contained in the white mist overflowing from the peak make it easy to identify that it is the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire."
"The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire not only nourishes things, but also has a very special effect on the human body. The impact of the two extreme attributes of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is undoubtedly of great benefit to someone like you who is poisoned."
"Extreme heat and extreme cold have a certain restraining effect on toxins, and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, a treasure basin that can produce rare and precious materials, has a remarkable effect on restraining the backlash of toxins."
"The unique properties of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye can nourish rare and precious herbs and other natural treasures, while also protecting the senior and keeping him alive. It can effectively suppress the backlash of toxins in the senior's body and prevent it from erupting."
Am I right?
After Tang San finished speaking, he looked at Dugu Bo with full confidence, unaware that it was precisely because of his words that Dugu Bo, who had not intended to kill him, had already sentenced him to death in his heart.
A cold and dangerous light flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes:
"Kid, you know a lot. But have you ever heard the saying, 'The more you know, the faster you die'?"
Tang San was stunned for a moment:
"What do you mean?"
Dugu Bo gave a cold laugh:
"It means you know too much, you might as well die."
"Originally, I only planned to get rid of all you little rats, but who would have thought that you would know so much about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and immortal herbs."
"Now, we can no longer let you leave."
"The secrets of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and the celestial herbs must not be allowed to be touched or spread by others. You will all leave your lives behind."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sudden change occurred.
In an instant, the killing intent emanating from Dugu Bo almost solidified. He stretched out his arm, which instantly extended, and stabbed straight at Tang San's heart, seemingly intending to kill him directly with lightning speed.
Tang San was terrified. He never expected that Dugu Bo would be so fickle and unethical, attacking without warning.
The terrifying killing intent that Dugu Bo suddenly unleashed made him feel the threat of death.
Unfortunately, the difference in strength was too great. Tang San couldn't even react, let alone resist. He could only watch helplessly as Dugu Bo's arm, which suddenly extended and grew longer, and his emerald green fingernails stabbed fiercely towards his chest.
"I never imagined that I, Tang San, would die at the hands of an old poisoner who uses toxic garbage. It's so frustrating, so incredibly frustrating."
At this moment, Tang San suddenly felt a slight regret, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of humiliation.
Dugu Bo's attack was very sudden and as fast as lightning. He was aiming to take Tang San's life with lightning speed.
However, he did not get his wish.
Just as Dugu Bo's outstretched emerald green fingertips touched Tang San's heart, a thick, dark hammer covered with intricate patterns suddenly flew out from the shadows of the forest and smashed towards the area between Dugu Bo and Tang San.
Dugu Bo reacted quickly, instantly withdrawing his hand and retreating to avoid the attack.
The dark hammer missed Dugu Bo, but it slammed heavily into the ground between him and Tang San, creating a huge crater two or three meters in diameter, with spiderweb-like cracks extending outwards for several meters.
The massive hammer was stuck diagonally into the crater, its head already embedded in the soil, demonstrating the immense force of the flying hammer—a force that no ordinary Soul Master could withstand.
At this moment, a tall, black figure suddenly appeared above the dark hammer that was stuck diagonally into the ground, standing steadily on the hammer handle that was pointing diagonally to the sky.
The man was dressed in a tattered black robe, his head shrouded in the shadow of the robe and hood, making it impossible to see his face. However, his physique revealed him to be a burly man.
The man held a wilted Blue Silver Grass in his left hand, which looked like it was malnourished, while in his right hand he held Tang San, who had almost died at the hands of Dugu Bo.
It was Tang Hao, who had been hiding in the shadows, who finally made his move.
As a god of slaughter who has traversed the hellish path of the City of Slaughter and obtained the God of Slaughter Domain, Tang Hao possesses an extremely keen perception of killing intent.
Having been watching Dugu Bo closely, he immediately realized that Dugu Bo intended to harm his son Tang San the moment Dugu Bo unleashed his true killing intent, and thus chose to make his move.
At this moment, Tang San, who was being held in Tang Hao's hands, was stunned.
The seemingly certain death situation suddenly took a turn for the better, and he was rescued. Tang San was overjoyed, but also felt somewhat bewildered.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at the tall figure beside him. Although he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, he felt a strong sense of familiarity.
Just as Tang San was about to say thank you, a strong smell of alcohol mixed with the stench of sweat suddenly entered his nostrils.
He froze instantly.
That scent... it was so familiar. It was his father's scent. The person who saved him from Dugu Bo was actually his father?
Tang San suddenly looked toward where Tang Hao's face was.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, lifting the tattered robe and hat off Tang Hao's head, revealing his weathered old face covered with a messy beard.
"Long time no see, mistress."
Meeting Tang San's shocked gaze, Tang Hao grinned and greeted him in a slightly low voice.
"Father, it really is you."
Upon seeing Tang Hao's familiar face, Tang San's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and he was filled with immense excitement.
In his past life, he was just an orphan who had never experienced what family affection felt like.
His father, Tang Hao, was the first and most precious gift he received after coming to Douluo Continent from the Tang Sect world, and he finally experienced the taste of family affection.
But when he was six years old, he awakened his martial spirit and went to Notting Academy in Notting City. However, his father left a letter and disappeared without a trace.
Seven years. His father had been missing for more than seven years, and he was almost fourteen years old by then.
How could he not be excited to see his father again?
With tears welling in his eyes, Tang San savored the scent of his father before remembering to ask:
"Father, where have you gone? Why haven't you come back to see me?"
Tang Hao's eyes flickered slightly. Of course, he wouldn't tell Tang San that he had actually been secretly protecting him all along. He simply said:
"I had some personal matters to attend to, which took a little longer than usual."
Seeing that Tang San was about to ask another question, Tang Hao interrupted him:
"Alright, mistress, we can catch up later. Let's deal with this problem first."
"Yes, Father."
Tang San agreed.
Although he had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, he knew that it was not the right time to reminisce, especially since there was the terrifyingly powerful Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, watching him intently.
Tang Hao leaped into the air, landing on the flat ground beside the pit with Tang San. Then, he stretched out his right hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer, which was stuck upside down in the pit, flew back as if it had a mind of its own, landing precisely in his palm.
After placing Tang San on the ground, Tang Hao handed "A Yin," which he had been holding in his left hand, to Tang San and solemnly instructed him:
"Mistress, take this and protect her well. Even if it costs you your life, you can't let her get hurt in the slightest."
Tang San, puzzled, asked:
"Father, this is..."
A flicker of reminiscence crossed Tang Hao's eyes, and his expression turned somewhat sorrowful, but he quickly composed himself and said calmly:
"Don't ask questions, just do as I say."
Tang San immediately shut up and stopped asking questions.
"Yes, Father."
Then, Tang Hao waved his hand, using his soul power to retrieve Xiao Wu and Yu Xiaogang, who had fainted on the ground, and handed them to Tang San and Flander respectively. He then instructed Flander and Zhao Wuji:
"You two, take Xiao San and Xiao Wu, along with the students from your academy, away from here and protect them."
"If a fight breaks out later, it won't be something that you two little Soul Saints and these kids can withstand."
Because of Tang Hao's appearance, Dugu Bo withdrew his suppression of the soul power of the Shrek Academy students, and the Shrek Academy students regained their ability to move.
Flanders and Zhao Wuji quickly bowed and agreed in unison:
"Yes, Your Majesty Haotian Douluo."
Both of them were somewhat surprised to see Tang Hao again.
Zhao Wuji, in particular, was even a little scared. He still vividly remembered the beating he received from Tang Hao because of Tang San's entrance exam.
Hearing Flander and Zhao Wuji refer to Tang Hao as "Haotian Douluo," the rest of the Shrek Academy members, including Tang San, were incredibly surprised and looked utterly bewildered.
Before they could ask any more questions, Flander and Zhao Wuji led them away from the area.
Only after walking a long enough distance did they turn back and gaze at this place from afar.
…………
That damned Tang Hao, finally decided to give up? Too bad, he couldn't kill that bastard Tang San.
Forget about him for now, he can't escape anyway. Let's focus on dealing with that bastard Tang Hao.
After dodging the Clear Sky Hammer thrown by Tang Hao, Dugu Bo leaped into the air. Although he was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't kill Tang San, it was not bad that he managed to force that bastard Tang Hao out.
Since breaking through to the Title Douluo level, apart from fighting his old rival Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan once or twice a year, Dugu Bo has never fought against any other Title Douluo.
After all, he was too weak back then, and he couldn't beat anyone. He could only mess with that sissy chrysanthemum from Chrysanthemum Pass.
However, everything has changed now. He is no longer the weakest Title Douluo; he is now a Level 95 Super Douluo.
Tang Hao is also a level 95 Super Douluo, so he can be used as a whetstone to test one's true combat strength.
