"Useless! This is the great thing you've done! Letting Little San add a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer in advance, exposing his Spirit during the Soul Master Competition, and then suffering a crushing defeat in the very first match! Is this your teaching ability? Do you even deserve to be called Grandmaster?"
"You've truly let down my trust."
"Because of your failed teaching, my son is facing pursuit from Spirit Hall. If I hadn't intervened, he would have already died at the hands of Spirit Hall, you useless man!"
"You have chosen the path of death."
"Yu Xiaogang, from now on, our master-disciple relationship is severed. I am no longer your disciple, and I will not acknowledge you as my teacher. This is the last bit of consideration I will show you."
"Give back my Supreme Pontiff's Token."
"No... no..."
"Damn it, you even lost my Supreme Pontiff's Token, damn it."
Boom—
No! No!!!
In the darkness of night, Yu Xiaogang was kicked flying by Tang Hao like a dead dog.
...
A few days later.
Soto City, Peach Garden Academy.
It wasn't as bustling as Heaven Dou City, nor as sacred and solemn as Spirit City, but it was exceptionally peaceful. Amidst the swaying peach blossoms and red maples, it felt like a paradise.
In the three months since its departure, Peach Garden Academy had undergone a second expansion. The entire academy now covered an area of over one hundred acres, consisting of the original Peach Garden campus, the Shrek campus transformed into a flower and plant garden, lounges, and a cafeteria, and the back mountain cultivation area. These three parts were named the Study Hall, the Flower and Plant Garden, and the Back Mountain Training Ground respectively.
At this moment, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo held a watering can, bending over patiently, watering the rare flowers and plants in the flower garden with nutrient solution. Watching these flower seeds grow vigorously, sprouting and thriving, with their green tips already emerging, Dugu Bo felt a sense of accomplishment.
These were precious flowers and plants that would normally take hundreds or thousands of years to mature, but planted in the treasure land of Peach Garden and nourished by the Spirit liquid left by Dean Su, their growth speed was incredibly fast.
These flowers and plants converged into streams of spiritual energy, cleansing his poisoned body. Coupled with the exclusive detoxification method—Poison Core—given to him by Dean Su, after this period of conditioning, he could clearly feel that the erosion of the toxins in his body was diminishing, and his body was also repairing itself.
Dugu Bo was different from Dugu Yan. He himself was a Titled Douluo and had already refined a Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison Pill. Unfortunately, this poison pill was merely a natural formation when the toxins in his body reached a certain concentration, not something he actively utilized, so he didn't know how to use it.
Su Ran would not mistreat those who had contributed to Peach Garden Academy and its students. The detoxification method he taught Dugu Bo was unprecedented.
Tens of thousands of years later on the Douluo Continent, the Spirit Master system advanced further, and a substance called a Spirit Core appeared among powerhouses at the Titled Douluo realm.
And Dugu Bo's inner core was the prototype of a Spirit Core. If this poison pill could be guided and refined to form a Spirit Core capable of integrating and dispersing toxins, creating an exclusive poison path for the Bi Lin Snake Venom, then the problem of the Bi Lin Snake Venom eroding Dugu Bo's body could be fundamentally resolved. It could also greatly increase Dugu Bo's strength, shedding his reputation as a bottom-tier Titled Douluo.
And Su Ran's method was indeed very effective. Not only did the Bi Lin Snake Venom place less burden on his body, but the Poison Core also allowed him to absorb and exhale spirit power faster, and his spirit power had already reached level 93.
"Hey, Xiao brat, stop punching. Come and put away the fertilizing and watering tools."
Putting down the watering can and lying on a chair, Dugu Bo spoke to the young man who was vigorously practicing Hungry Wolf Fist nearby. That was Xiao Chenyu.
Before the finals, he had followed Teacher Su's words and returned to train his body and fists, becoming Dugu Bo's subordinate, helping Dugu Bo manage the academy's flowers, plants, and hygiene.
Hearing Dugu Bo's instruction, Xiao Chenyu stopped his punching stance, nodded, and honestly complied:
"Oh, oh, alright, Senior Poison."
"You brat, your talent is so poor, but being able to become Dean Su's student is definitely a blessing from your ancestors. Work hard, study diligently, and you'll still have a great future."
"Mm-hmm!!"
Dugu Bo spoke lightly to Xiao Chenyu, then slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at the clouds with some worry:
"By my reckoning, the Soul Master Competition should be ending soon. I wonder how Teacher Su's team is doing. With Spirit Hall's methods, I'm afraid it might be unfavorable for the students."
"It's a pity I have to watch over the academy and protect these flowers and plants; I can't personally go to Spirit City to check on the situation."
Just then, a clear, bell-like girl's voice rang out, and a beautiful young woman in a Peach Garden uniform appeared outside the fence, smiling sweetly at Dugu Bo:
"Grandpa, what are you doing?"
