Chapter 32: Dugu Bo: You are my brother!
"Chu Chen, did Senior Dugu make things difficult for you?"
On the way to Soto City, Ye Lingling asked Chu Chen. Sensing the worry in her voice, Chu Chen explained to her, "Actually... Senior Dugu wants me to detoxify Dugu Yan."
"She's poisoned?" Ye Lingling was a bit surprised. After all, Dugu Yan used lethal toxins herself; in her view, it should be impossible for her to be poisoned.
Chu Chen briefly explained the situation to her. Ye Lingling understood and also wanted to ask Chu Chen to detoxify Dugu Yan, as Dugu Yan was one of her few friends.
...
After arriving in Soto City, Teacher Qin Ming arranged a place for everyone to rest. Since they were invited by the nobles of Soto City, they were bound to defeat their opponents with lightning speed in the Spirit Arena matches!
Only in this way could the nobles secure their interests.
"It's not our first time in Soto City. None of the Level 30 Soul Elder teams here are particularly formidable."
Yu Tianheng appeared nonchalant, full of confidence.
"Then why don't you all go and fight in the Soul Sect level matches with Chu Chen?" Teacher Qin Ming asked.
Yu Tianheng: "..."
He was just talking big after all. If they were really sent to fight a Soul Sect level team, they would likely lose miserably. After all, only Chu Chen had currently become a Soul Sect.
"Chu Chen, this is a good opportunity for you to quickly integrate into the team. However, your Rank is too high... I want to hide part of your strength. Just act as if you are a Soul Elder, use only your first three Spirit Abilities, and keep your Soul Power suppressed."
Teacher Qin Ming stepped forward to discuss this with Chu Chen.
"I have no objection," Chu Chen agreed.
Since the Spirit Arena matches were scheduled for the night, the group still had the remaining half-day to themselves. Dugu Bo couldn't wait any longer to seize the opportunity.
"Hey, kid, take this chance to detoxify Yaner and let this old man see what you're capable of."
Dugu Bo found Chu Chen aggressively, with Dugu Yan following behind him.
"Grandpa, where am I poisoned? I feel fine! My poison was inherited from you; how could I poison myself?" Dugu Yan was still somewhat skeptical.
"You did indeed inherit it from your grandfather. Thus, for one, the poison has entered the bone marrow, while for the other, it's still in the incubation period."
Chu Chen looked at the two of them, silencing them both with a single sentence.
Dugu Bo's lip twitched. This kid really didn't give him any Face when he spoke.
'This matter must never get out. If others find out, how will I keep my reputation?' Dugu Bo thought solemnly.
"Let's begin."
Chu Chen motioned for Dugu Yan to sit cross-legged in front of him. With Dugu Bo waiting nearby, he had no concerns. His Soul Power was currently much stronger than Dugu Yan's; using the life energy of the Blue Silver Emperor to control her poison wouldn't be too difficult.
"You need to fully accept my Soul Power entering your body."
"I will make your poison controllable and allow you to fully unleash the power of your Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison, provided you trust me."
Chu Chen stood behind Dugu Yan, his voice reaching her ears.
"Yaner, listen to him. Grandpa is right here; this kid definitely won't dare to play any tricks," Dugu Bo said.
Dugu Yan nodded. "Okay."
Although she still didn't believe she was poisoned, she chose to trust Dugu Bo. Furthermore, Chu Chen didn't look like he was joking, so she chose to trust him, sat down, and relaxed her mind.
Chu Chen condensed blue-gold Soul Power and poured it into Dugu Yan's body.
Dugu Yan only felt a warm current surge into her meridians, instantly impacting her entire body. Stimulated by this external force, the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison lurking in her body erupted instantly!
Boom!
Dugu Yan's expression became incredibly pained, her delicate body swaying.
Dugu Bo's Face changed drastically, his tone carrying a hint of killing intent. "What's happening! Get out of the way, if Yaner..."
"Shut up! If I stop now, she will surely die."
Chu Chen shouted. Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, was actually stunned into silence by the shout. Terrified, he had nearly lost his reason and harmed Dugu Yan. After gradually calming down, Dugu Bo realized.
This seemed to be a normal occurrence.
Even when the poison in his own body erupted, it was just as uncontrollable and caused him unbearable pain...
"Blue Silver Domain."
An invisible Blue Silver Domain bloomed from Chu Chen's body, shielding Dugu Yan. At the same time, the life force condensed by the Blue Silver Emperor grew even stronger—immortal, indestructible, and inexhaustible!
As this surging life force poured in once again, Dugu Yan's expression finally began to soften. The Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison that had nearly erupted completely was suppressed once more.
Chu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He then used the purification power of the Blue Silver Emperor to wrap around the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison, using the same method he previously used to purify Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor Poison to control the poison in Dugu Yan's body.
Dugu Bo's chest heaved violently, and he even slumped to the ground somewhat weakly...
"Phew..."
Dugu Bo was shaken. Seeing Dugu Yan's condition stabilize, his heart finally settled.
In front of his family, even the usually decisive and ruthless Dugu Bo would show such a vulnerable side...
An hour passed.
Chu Chen withdrew his Soul Power and calmed his own Aura.
He stood up and said to Dugu Bo, "It's done. Using ultimate life force and purification power, I've made the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in her body completely controllable; it will no longer erode her own body."
"If you have time, find a suitable Soul Bone for her, preferably from a poison-attribute Soul Beast. That way, not only can her current Poison Techniques be fully unleashed, but they should also be able to evolve into the Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor Poison."
Dugu Bo hesitated to speak, but eventually looked deeply at Chu Chen, his expression softening.
He patted Chu Chen's shoulder, and then, feeling that wasn't enough, gave Chu Chen a bear hug. "Thank you, Chu Chen. I was too anxious just now and almost..."
"Caring for your granddaughter is only human. This shows my choice was correct," Chu Chen smiled at Dugu Bo.
"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Dugu Bo was puzzled.
"It shows that Senior values emotions and won't kill me to silence me after I've helped,"
Dugu Bo's Face immediately darkened.
"Damn, is that the image this old man has in your heart? I, Dugu Bo, am a man of my word. From today on, you are my brother."
Dugu Bo laughed heartily. Even if his own poison couldn't be cured, he was genuinely happy; he didn't want Dugu Yan to endure such pain.
Just then, Dugu Yan woke up. Her Soul Power had even directly achieved a Breakthrough of one Rank, reaching Rank 39.
"I... I feel my power has undergone a transformation, and my Poison Techniques have become stronger!" Dugu Yan said with wild joy.
