Douluo: Wuhun Magic Harp, summoning ancient beasts

Chapter 25 Dugu Bo's Test
Long Chen knew that Dugu Bo had a very strong self-esteem and a suspicious personality.

Therefore, when facing him, Long Chen deliberately suppressed the immaturity and fear that a young man should have, and behaved neither arrogantly nor servilely.

When Dugu Bo saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Yanyan, you and Yu Tianheng step aside for a moment. I have something to say to this kid."

"Grandpa, you won't make things difficult for him, will you?"

"You silly boy, why would I embarrass him? I just want to communicate with him."

"Ok."

Dugu Yan nodded at Long Chen.

Then, he took Yu Tianheng away.

At this time, only Dugu Bo and Long Chen were left here.

Dugu Bo said coldly:

"Boy, you and Yanyan are not related at all, why do you want to help her detoxify?"

"Why? Do you think I have any purpose?"

Long Chen smiled calmly and continued:

"To be honest, Ye Lingling, who just obtained her third soul ring, is regarded as a family member by me. When I was six years old, I met Dugu Yan when I sent Lingling to the Royal Academy and asked her to take care of Lingling. When I saw Dugu Yan again later, I found that she had shown signs of poisoning. Later, I also went to the Royal Academy and became her teammate. I developed an antidote for her just to thank her for taking care of Lingling."

Dugu Bo was skeptical about Long Chen's words, and then asked:

"So, how confident are you that you can cure the poison in Yanyan's body?"

Long Chen smiled slightly, his eyes revealing confidence and calmness:

"Senior, the green phosphorus snake venom in Duguyan's body was brought from her mother's womb. Over the years, some of the toxin has already invaded her bone marrow. However, it is not impossible to cure it. Unfortunately, a good cook cannot cook without rice. I have been looking for a special herb."

"What herb?"

"Narcissus jade muscles and bones."

"Narcissus jade muscle bone?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows slightly and instantly became interested.

"What kind of Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone do you mean?"

"It was a white, crystal-clear plant that looked as spotless as a green lotus or a white lotus root."

"White crystal flowers and plants"

Dugu Bo thought for a moment and seemed to have thought of something.

"With the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone, can I cure Yanyan's green phosphorus snake venom?"

"Of course. Duguyan is still young, and the poison is not too severe. By mixing that herb with other herbs, we can control the poison in her body from penetrating deeper. However, that herb cannot cure the poison in you."

After hearing this, Dugu Bo's face changed and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

"What a bold boy, you dare to say that I'm poisoned. I'm Poison Douluo, the ancestor of poison! It's always others who are poisoned by me. Even poison-type spirit masters are vulnerable in front of me. How could I be poisoned?!"

"Really? You are suffering from the backlash of your own poison without knowing it. Compared to Dugu Yan, your signs of poisoning are more obvious and more dangerous."

"You are so arrogant! But I want to hear why you think I'm poisoned, and how do you know that my condition is worse than Yanyan's?"

Long Chen looked directly at Dugu Bo and answered seriously:
"If I'm not mistaken, every time it's cloudy and rainy, you'll feel numbness and itchiness in your ribs, and it will gradually get stronger. This happens once at noon and once at midnight, and each time lasts for more than an hour. Every night around three o'clock, you'll feel pinprick-like pains on the top of your head and in your heart, and your whole body will spasm for at least half an hour. Moreover, the poison has penetrated deep into your bones, and even a strong soul power cannot suppress it."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo was shocked.

"How do you know?"

Long Chen described it in great detail, as if he had seen Dugu Bo being poisoned with his own eyes. This made Dugu Bo unbearable.

This is his secret and also his biggest weakness. Once known by the enemy, it will bring him fatal danger.

And this boy in front of me, who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, actually understood it so clearly.

Dugu Bo suddenly felt murderous.

If Long Chen had not developed an antidote pill for Dugu Yan, he would have killed Long Chen without hesitation.

Long Chen also felt the murderous aura from Dugu Bo. The soul power in his body overflowed uncontrollably. A layer of faint black light surrounded him, like an invisible barrier, protecting him firmly.

Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo was shocked again, then he came to his senses and suppressed his murderous intent.

"Boy, did you just want to fight me?"

"I am just responding to your temptation. With your strength, if you really want to kill me, wouldn't it be a matter of a moment?"

"Haha, you are a brave boy. However, for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old, you act too sophisticated. Among the spirit masters of the same age, you are the strongest I have ever met. I am a little curious, what is your martial spirit? What is your spirit power level?"

Compared to his murderous look just now, Dugu Bo was obviously much more relaxed.

Long Chen also relaxed and replied:

"My martial soul is the Dark Night Harp, and my soul power is level 39."

"Dark Night Magic Harp, a mutant martial spirit with evil attributes? No wonder."

Dugu Bo muttered to himself, his gaze lingering on Long Chen for a moment.

"You have reached level 39 at such a young age. You are indeed a very talented kid. You are much stronger than Yu Tianheng and Yanyan. You seem to know a lot about my poisoning. So, can you cure the poison in my body?"

"As the saying goes, even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. I need to find those extremely rare herbs first."

"What if you had those herbs?"

Long Chen said confidently:
"If there are really those herbs, I am 100% sure that they can control the poison in Duguyan's body. However, the poison in your body has penetrated deep into your bones. I can remove part of it for you and alleviate your pain. I can also use other methods to detoxify you. According to my idea, after your symptoms of poisoning are alleviated, you don't need to frequently activate your soul power to suppress the poison. If you continue to practice, your soul power will also increase."

After hearing this, Dugu Bo felt a little shaken.

Not only can it detoxify, but it can also enhance soul power. Long Chen’s idea is too tempting.

However, how could Dugu Bo easily believe the words of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy?
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the surroundings.

It turned out to be Qin Ming and his group.

Ye Lingling had already absorbed the soul ring. Seeing that Long Chen, Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng had not returned yet, she followed the marks left by Long Chen along the way and came here.

Long Chen said:

"Senior, Lingling should have absorbed all the spirit rings. It's time for me to join them."

"Wait, you already know the secret of my poisoning, how can I let you go so easily?"

"Don't worry, senior. I will keep my mouth shut."

Dugu Bo shook his head.

"In my life, I have never easily trusted anyone. How about this, I will take you to my medicine garden, where there are many rare herbs. I will give you a chance to see if you can detoxify me."

"Okay. But I have to say goodbye to them first."

Dugu Bo nodded, then shouted:

"Yanyan, you can come over now."
