Douluo: Wuhun Magic Harp, summoning ancient beasts

Chapter 20 An Important Step

Long Chen knew that Dugu Yan had been infected with the green-scaled snake venom since her mother's womb.

The toxin would make her extremely uncomfortable when it took effect, and she had been enduring the increasing pain with her tenacious willpower.

When Long Chen was studying at Guang'an Hall, he specifically asked Manager Wang how to control the venom of the green phosphorus snake and specially developed an antidote pill.

Dugu Yan took the pill and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Long Chen, I didn't expect you to know medical skills. But how did you know I was poisoned?"

Long Chen replied seriously:
"I have seen you several times in the past five years. From the first time I saw you until now, I found that the color of your eyes has gradually changed. The green has become darker and darker. Others may not know, but I know that this is a sign that the venom of the green-scaled snake has backfired on you during your training."

Dugu Yan nodded.

"You are right. I was indeed attacked by the venom of the Jade Scale Snake."

"I really admire you. You have great perseverance. If you hadn't suffered the backlash of the poison, with your talent and hard work, your soul power would definitely be higher than mine. It's really hard to imagine what kind of pain you have gone through over the years to get to this point."

Long Chen's words were like a warm current flowing through Dugu Yan's cold heart.

Dugu Yan has a profound birth background, powerful soul power among her peers, and rare poison-related control ability, which always keeps her at the top of the pyramid.

Her life over the past decade or so had been almost smooth sailing, except for the toxins that troubled her.

For her, the venom of the green phosphorus snake is a double-edged sword. It allows her to possess poisonous abilities that terrify her opponents, but it also gradually leads her into an irretrievable situation.

Becoming a truly strong person is the dream of every soul master.

Dugu Yan, who has always been strong-willed, is no exception.

Therefore, even though she knew that she would suffer backlash from the poison, she did not deliberately slow down her pace of cultivation.

In the past few years since entering Tiandou Royal Academy, she has seemed very successful on the surface and is regarded as a big sister by the students.

But only she knows the pain she has endured.

Long Chen's words were sincere, which made Dugu Yan feel warm in her heart, as if she had received the care and recognition of her loved ones.

Her eyes were a little moist and she was speechless for a while.

Ye Lingling touched her gently.

"Sister Yan, I just realized now that you have been suffering from the backlash of your own toxins."

Dugu Yan calmed down.

"I have had toxins in my body since I was born. In order to solve this problem, my grandfather has been researching medicines over the years and has come up with some solutions. Before, I relied on the detoxification pills that my grandfather developed for me to relieve the pain. But as my soul power increased, the toxins seemed to become more ferocious, and the effects of those detoxification pills became increasingly limited."

Dugu Yan's voice was a little low, revealing a bit of helplessness.

Long Chen said:

"I specially developed these pills. I can't say they can completely detoxify you, but at least they can alleviate your pain. You can try them first, and I hope they will help you. If you are willing, we can also work together to study how to better control or even eliminate the toxins in your body. I have some experience in medicine, and maybe I can find a new method."

After hearing this, a bright light flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes, but then she hesitated.

"Long Chen, I know you have good intentions, but this poison... even my grandfather is helpless. Do you really think there is anything we can do?"

Long Chen smiled slightly and said with a firm look:
"How do we know if we don't try? At least, we shouldn't give up any hope, right? Some rare herbs have miraculous detoxification effects, but we haven't encountered them yet."

Dugu Yan was infected by Long Chen's optimism and persistence, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Okay, I believe you. I will try this pill."

The three of them walked and talked, and unknowingly arrived at the downstairs of the girls' dormitory. After watching Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling go upstairs, Long Chen left.

The detoxification pill he had just given to Dugu Yan did have a certain detoxification effect.

But it can only relieve the pain temporarily.

As Dugu Yan's soul power grows stronger, the effect of the detoxification pill will become weaker.

Today, we have initially gained Dugu Yan's trust and taken an important step.

As you get more familiar with each other, the relationship will develop further.

By then, it would be possible to meet Dugu Bo, or even enter the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

~~~~~~~
The next day, the seven members of the school team gathered at the training ground.

Qin Ming glanced at the seven people and then said:
"Today we will officially start training together. I already have a preliminary understanding of the seven of you. I know your martial spirits and your respective spirit power levels. However, I still don't know your specific spirit skills and the power of each spirit skill. I want to learn more about you and make you more familiar with each other's spirit skills so that we can carry out targeted training in the future."

Several people looked at each other and understood what Qin Ming meant.

Qin Ming looked at Ye Lingling and continued:

"Ye Lingling, your Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul is the most special, so I'll start with you. Since your soul skills are all the same, you only need to demonstrate them once."

"it is good."

After Ye Lingling finished speaking, she took a step forward and released her martial soul and two yellow hundred-year soul rings.

Her martial soul is a pink crabapple flower, composed of white and pink petals, with bright colors and graceful posture.

As the first soul ring suddenly flashed, rays of light like white petals were released from the Nine-Hearted Begonia and slowly descended.

Ye Lingling explained:

"I only have one soul skill, which is a ranged group healing. If I am in battle, these rays of light will fall into my companions' bodies, which can quickly heal exposed wounds and can also heal serious injuries such as fractures. Its healing effect increases as my strength increases, but it cannot help my companions recover their soul power or detoxify."

As soon as Ye Lingling finished speaking, Qin Ming and a few others burst into warm applause.

"Nine-Hearted Begonia is worthy of being the world's number one healing spirit. With Lingling here, we don't have to worry about getting hurt any more."

"More importantly, it is a group skill that can heal multiple people at the same time."

Several people cast approving glances at Ye Lingling.

Qin Ming nodded and looked at Ye Lingling with some appreciation in his eyes.

"Ye Lingling's powerful healing ability plays a vital role in team battles and is irreplaceable. However, as a supporter, her attack power is relatively weak, which is also the common weakness of all supporters. Therefore, in team battles, you have to protect her in the back."

"clear."

Next, Ghost Leopard Soul Master Oslo, Wind Chime Bird Soul Master Yufeng, and Black Turtle Soul Master Shi Mo all showed everyone their respective soul skills and strengths.

Osro has agile speed and good attack power.

It can fly by controlling the wind, which gives it the advantage of aerial combat, and its attack power is also quite impressive.

Graphite has strong defense and strength, making it suitable as a meat shield.

Next, it was Long Chen, Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng's turn to show everyone their respective soul skills.
