Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 2 Poison Douluo Submits, Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes!
Facing the Book of Creation in Yan Boshan's palm, which exuded an aura of origin.

For the first time, Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo who had dominated the continent for many years, felt a fear that came from the depths of his soul.

God-level martial spirit!

This is absolutely a god-level martial soul!

Moreover, the opponent is so young, yet his soul power is already at the level of a Title Douluo!

What kind of monster is this?

"Your martial spirit..."

Dugu Bo's voice trembled slightly, his remaining arrogance replaced by shock and fear.

However, his dignity as a Title Douluo and his confidence in his own strength forced him to suppress the horror in his heart.

Perhaps the opponent only has a special martial soul, and their actual combat strength... may not be as exaggerated as that?

Upon thinking of this, Dugu Bo's eyes sharpened.

Who cares about its origins?

Let's test the depth first.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body, Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Possession!"

In an instant, a dark green light burst forth from his body.

A huge, ferocious, emerald-green phantom appeared and merged behind him.

His body was quickly covered with fine, dark green scales, and his pupils became even more vertical and cold.

His hair stood on end, and he exuded a nauseating, highly toxic odor.

At the same time, the nine spirit rings beneath his feet shone brightly.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!

The terrifying surge of soul power swept out like a tsunami, instantly withering and turning the surrounding trees black.

The ground hissed and crackled, corroded by an invisible, deadly poison.

"No matter who you are, you have trespassed on my territory and you must give an explanation!"

Dugu Bo shouted, and the pressure of a Title Douluo pressed down on Yan Boshan without reservation.

He wanted to use his strongest aura to test the young man's true strength.

However, Yan Boshan simply hovered quietly in mid-air, his eyes showing no fluctuation whatsoever.

The so-called pressure from a titled Douluo was like a gentle breeze, not causing the slightest ripple on his body.

He didn't even raise his hand.

But... he gently opened the Book of Creation in his palm.

The first page.

There were no words on it, only chaos.

But as the pages were turned, an indescribable force of "order" descended instantly.

Buzz!
It was as if the entire space had been paused.

Dugu Bo's surging and overwhelming soul power pressure came to an abrupt halt.

His venomous mist, powerful enough to kill even a Soul Douluo, was compressed and solidified ten meters away from Yanboshan, as if it had encountered an invisible barrier.

It could not advance even an inch further.

What horrified him even more was that he felt his connection with his martial spirit and soul power had become sluggish.

It was as if an invisible hand had seized the source of his power.

"What...what kind of ability is this?!"

Dugu Bo panicked completely.

This is not a soul skill.

It was at least not any kind of soul skill he recognized.

This is more like… suppression at the rule level.

Follow your words?
No.

That's even more terrifying.

This directly altered the spatial rules surrounding him.

"field?!"

Dugu Bo considered a possibility, but immediately dismissed it.

Even a domain could not suppress a level 91 titled Douluo so easily and thoroughly.

Moreover, the other party did not appear to be releasing any domain.

"It seems you're very confident in your 'poison'?"

Yan Boshan's indifferent voice rang out, tinged with a hint of amusement.

He stretched out his finger and gently touched the solidified emerald green poisonous mist.

"Order and Purification".

Silently.

The terrifying poisonous fog, powerful enough to turn a small town into a dead zone, simply vanished into thin air.

It was as if it had never existed.

"puff-!"

The poisonous mist was forcibly removed, and Dugu Bo, who was connected to his own source of extreme poison, was struck as if by a heavy blow. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of dark green blood, and his aura instantly weakened.

He stared at Yan Boshan in utter horror, his eyes filled with nothing but fear.

powerful!
too strong!
Totally irresistible!

This is not even a battle on the same level.

The opponent didn't even reveal their spirit rings.

escape.

Must escape!
With only this one thought in his mind, Dugu Bo endured the severe injury and turned to escape as a green light.

However, Yan Boshan only glanced at him indifferently.

"Space Confinement".

Click.

Dugu Bo felt as if the space around him suddenly solidified, as if he were encased in transparent crystal. He couldn't even move a finger, let alone escape.

He remained frozen in mid-air, his face filled with despair and disbelief, still in the posture of turning to flee.

"An ant trying to shake a tree is overestimating its own strength."

Yan Boshan put away the Book of Creation, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at it as if it were an inanimate object.

He did not kill him.

Because the core mission of the Ark is to collect luck, not to kill indiscriminately.

Moreover, this Poison Douluo might still be of some use.

The spatial confinement slowly dissipated, and Dugu Bo fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string. But he ignored the pain and his disheveled state, struggled to get up, and bowed deeply to Yan Boshan.

That pride that belonged to a Title Douluo was crushed to pieces in the face of absolute power.

"Your...Your...divine might...I...I am convinced!" Dugu Bo's voice was dry, filled with bitterness and awe.

"May I ask your name, and what brings you to this place?"

He knew very well that there must be a reason why the other party hadn't killed him.

"Yanbo Mountain".

Yan Boshan gave his name in a calm tone.

"I awoke here and wish to find a spiritually beautiful place to rebuild my sect."

"Rebuild the sect?"

Dugu Bo was taken aback, then a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Such terrifying strength could not have appeared out of thin air; it would be plausible that it came from some reclusive ancient sect.

But what kind of sect could cultivate such a young Title Douluo who also possesses a god-level martial soul?
He dared not ask any further questions and quickly replied respectfully:
"So it's Your Excellency Yan! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

Deep within the Sunset Forest, I know of a treasure trove where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges; perhaps it meets Your Majesty's requirements.

"Oh, lead the way."

Yan Boshan's words were concise and to the point.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please follow me."

Dugu Bo dared not be negligent and, enduring his injuries, led the way.

The two walked one after the other and soon arrived at a basin surrounded by mountain walls.

The moment I stepped inside, a completely different atmosphere washed over me.

Half of it is as hot as fire, and half of it is as cold as ice.

In the center of the basin, a peculiar hot spring is clearly divided into two parts: half milky white and half vermilion, exuding a strange fragrance and two extreme energies of ice and fire.

It is the eye of both ice and fire.

"Good place."

A hint of approval flashed in Yan Boshan's eyes. Although he had known about this place for a long time, after seeing it with his own eyes and experiencing it firsthand, Yan Boshan had to admit that it was indeed a treasure land.

The energy here has a remarkable effect on nourishing life and accelerating growth.

It is the perfect foundation for the future academy.

"Your Excellency Yan, this place is a cultivation spot that I discovered by chance. It is extremely cold on one side and extremely hot on the other, which is quite magical."

Dugu Bo explained cautiously, afraid that the other party might take over the place if they were unhappy.

Yan Boshan ignored his little thoughts, his gaze sweeping over the exotic flowers and plants growing around the hot spring, and he understood.

He walked to the spring, feeling the pure ice and fire energy, and nodded:
"Yes, this is the place."

"right here?"

Dugu Bo's heart skipped a beat.

Yan Boshan turned to look at him, his gaze seemingly able to see through everything:
"I want to establish an academy here, named 'Jixia'."

"Jixia Academy?!"

Dugu Bo was shocked once again.

To establish an academy right next to this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?!
"Your Majesty... although this place is rich in spiritual energy, the environment is extreme, and ordinary soul masters would probably find it difficult to adapt..."

Dugu Bo tried to salvage the situation and subtly dissuaded Yan Boshan.

A strange smile appeared on Yan Boshan's lips:

"It's alright. Besides, that little problem in your body seems to be getting out of control, isn't it?"

Dugu Bo was terrified, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The other party saw through his biggest secret at a glance—he was constantly suffering from the backlash of the poison of his own martial soul, and even his descendants suffered from it.

This is his biggest worry.

"Your Mightiness……"

“I am not the only one in Jixia Academy.”

Yan Boshan spoke calmly, yet with an undeniable confidence.

"Once the sect elders arrive, dealing with this bit of poison backlash will be a piece of cake."

boom!
These words struck Dugu Bo like a thunderclap from the heavens.

How to prevent toxin backlash?!
It was just a small favor!
How...how is this possible?!
He had sought out renowned doctors and even studied toxicology for many years, yet they were all helpless against this stubborn ailment. The other party spoke of it so casually.

Moreover, there are subsequent elders.

Is this "Jixia" really so unfathomable?

In an instant, fear, doubt, and a sliver of desperate hope surged into Dugu Bo's heart.

If... if what the other person said is true...

His years of suffering, and even Dugu Yan's future...

"Is Your Majesty truly speaking?"

Dugu Bo asked excitedly, his voice trembling.

"I never lie."

Yan Boshan said calmly:

"However, the prerequisite is that I need your help before my Jixia Academy can establish itself."

Dugu Bo's eyes flickered violently, his mind in turmoil.

On one side is Yanbo Mountain, mysterious and unpredictable, with terrifying strength, but who may bring hope.

On one side is the secret and freedom that he has guarded for many years.

Ultimately, the desire for an antidote and the fear of Yan Boshan's unfathomable strength overwhelmed everything else.

"it is good!"

Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Your Majesty, please give me whatever you require of me."

"Will this old man take on all the preparatory work for the Jixia Academy?"

It's just building a college, isn't it?

As a dignified Poison Douluo, he still has some face to lose.

As long as this damned poison can be cured, what's wrong with being a gatekeeper for this mysterious Jixia Academy?!
Seeing Dugu Bo's suddenly "enthusiastic" attitude, Yan Boshan nodded in satisfaction.

Great, the first helper is in place.

Dugu Bo's ability to take action.

With a clear goal and a huge incentive, they become exceptionally efficient.

To establish an academy, one must first obtain official recognition and qualifications from the Empire.

This kind of thing is as difficult as climbing to the sky for ordinary people.

But for a Title Douluo, especially one with some connection to the royal family, it's not too difficult.

After a moment's thought, Dugu Bo decided to seek out Prince Xuexing, a relatively pragmatic and familiar member of the Heavenly Dou Empire's royal family.

Without delay, he told Yan Boshan to wait there for a while, then transformed into a streak of green light and sped directly toward Tiandou City.
