Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 289 Dugu Bo: I am not the ultimate poison?
"It's been a long time..."

Su Wen took a sip of tea, looked at Qian Renxue sitting directly opposite him with a slightly surprised expression, and sighed.

"Uncle Su, what do you mean? Didn't we just meet a few days ago?" The beautiful young woman, dressed in the Heavenly Dou royal family's martial attire and with a hint of heroic spirit in her eyes, asked with slight surprise.

"Sigh..." Su Wen sighed deeply.

You have no idea how I've gotten through these days.

They exploit them one after another.

Do you know that the human body has its limits?

On the first day, I was completely devoured by the Silver Dragon King; on the second day, I experienced both ice and fire; on the third day…

On the seventh day, he finally couldn't stand the constant exploitation. Coincidentally, the three-month period had arrived, so he decided to come ten thousand years ago to take a break, recuperate, and think about whether he could get his hands on the position of the Sea God.

Compared to Shura, the Sea God is undoubtedly the divine position that Tang San uses the most. Even the other gods refer to him as "Sea God". If he could really take it away, it would definitely disgust Tang San to death.

As for the so-called "inheritance"?
Haha, you actually believed his nonsense. The soul beasts he sent to participate in the Sea God's Trial would probably be tortured half to death, and then thrown out, with him pretending to be regretful and saying that they failed the test.

Giving the initiative to Tang San was a rather foolish move.

"..."

Qian Renxue was somewhat confused.

Knowing that this uncle had a mysterious background, she obediently nodded, picked up the teapot with her slender hands, and filled Su Wen's teacup.

"What, you dare to take off your mask at the Royal Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire? Aren't you afraid your years-long infiltration plan will be exposed?" Su Wen raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Xue'er is naturally not afraid of Uncle Su's territory," the beautiful woman said with a smile.

Only now did Su Wen have the mind to examine Qian Renxue.

Her long golden hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and the cuffs and collar were trimmed with gold. She wore a neat and stylish outfit and long boots.

With her delicate, upturned nose, glossy red lips, and captivating golden eyes, she resembled a noble lady disguised as a man, easily recognizable from a movie or TV series. She truly lived up to her Angelic Martial Soul; it seemed that those who possessed this Martial Soul were all top-tier in appearance, including that girl from ten thousand years later…

"The competition will be in half a month. I wonder if Uncle Su will be going?" Qian Renxue said gently, "If Uncle is going, Xue'er will reserve a good spot in advance."

“Go, why not go?” Su Wen said with a light laugh.

"I'm still waiting for Dugu Yan and the others to prove themselves..."

"You mean Shrek Academy?" Qian Renxue asked with surprise.

After all, a powerhouse like Su Wen is practically at the pinnacle of the continent. Why would he bother with a lousy academy? Is he really just trying to vent his anger for his "disciple"?
Perhaps there are things behind this that she cannot access...

“Not bad.” Su Wen nodded.

"The disciple named Tang San in Shrek Academy is the son of Tang Hao, a remnant of the Tang family."

"Tang Hao, it's actually him!!!" Qian Renxue was stunned and couldn't believe her eyes.

And the golden eyes looked at Su Wen with increasing gentleness. It turned out that Uncle Su was doing this for her father. The real culprit who killed her father was Tang Hao. After fighting with him, her father was seriously injured and passed away not long after returning, leaving her and her mother behind...

Despite his high status, he was still determined to avenge his father.

My father and Uncle Su must have had a relationship as close as brothers.

If that's the case, then perhaps his father wasn't entirely without a reason to entrust his son to someone else back then...

Qian Renxue's eyes softened even more.

If her father were here, he would probably pat Su Wen on the shoulder and tell her to call him "uncle," as he was as close to her father as a brother.

A ripple of emotion stirred in the beauty's heart.

A father figure...

Father.

She quickly shook her head, realizing something was wrong and that she had misunderstood. A blush crept across her fair face, and she coughed lightly twice.

"Om~"

The sound of something cutting through the air came from above.

A streak of green light gradually expanded from the horizon, and Dugu Bo, stepping on the phantom of a green python, slowly appeared in the small courtyard with a smug look on his face.

"What, you've gone to challenge your old rival again?" Su Wen took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Yes..." Dugu Bo couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.

"I happened to run into Chrysanthemum Douluo and gave that sissy a good beating, right in front of a group of Spirit Hall experts, hehehe." He was in high spirits, and the frustration of being called the "weakest title holder" for years had finally been swept away.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo?!" Qian Renxue, who had instantly changed into the Crown Prince's attire, exclaimed in astonishment.

Clearly, she was aware of Chrysanthemum Douluo's combat strength.

Level 94 Title Douluo.

If it were Bone Douluo or Sword Douluo saying this, she wouldn't be surprised at all, and might even smile. But the one saying this now is Poison Douluo, known as the weakest titled Douluo on the continent... Dugu Bo.

Why should he?
Unlike the girl's astonishment, Poison Douluo paused, his words caught in his throat, and he glanced at Su Wen, then at Xue Qinghe.

Without Su Wen's permission, he naturally wouldn't spread the word about this soul core so carelessly.

This kind of thing, which can trigger a transformation on the mainland, is extremely important.

"Your Highness, when you are promoted to a higher title, I have a great gift for you," Su Wen said with a smile.

"A generous gift?" Qian Renxue instinctively wanted to cling to Su Wen's arm and act coquettishly, but then realized that she was Xue Qinghe, so she could only smile faintly, "Mr. Su's generous gift must be extremely valuable, then I will wait for it."

After saying that, he glanced at Su Wen with lingering affection, then left in the carriage outside the courtyard.

"How come you're so close to the Crown Prince? Could it be... a homosexual relationship?" Dugu Bo was incredibly perceptive. Taking advantage of Qian Renxue's momentary lapse in concentration, he noticed the unusual relationship between the two.

"Heh." Su Wen sneered. "Hey, are you serious, kid!" Dugu Bo panicked a little.

The thought of how I had trusted Su Wen so completely, sitting in the garden cultivating with my back exposed...

"Bullshit," Su Wen said irritably.

Call again?

I'll get you to date your granddaughter again, so you can see what I really like.

"..."

"Azure Phosphorous Seven Absolute Emperor, this is the name of my Martial Soul after my advancement." Dugu Bo gently stroked a giant python behind him, his eyes soft. "With the condensation of the Soul Core and the fact that I just advanced to the level 92 title yesterday, my current combat power is comparable to that of a level 95 person."

"Ultimate poison? It's still a bit lacking." Su Wen shook his head.

Extreme attributes are not commonplace, and Dugu Bo is still somewhat lacking in this regard.

"Ultimate Poison?" Dugu Bo had never heard this term before. He raised an eyebrow and said with slight dissatisfaction, "What ultimate poison? My Azure Phosphorous Seven Absolute Emperor is already top-tier among all poison-attribute martial souls, yet it can't even reach your so-called ultimate poison?"

"The ultimate means reaching the peak of a certain attribute, where no other attribute can surpass it. If we really want to calculate it, yours should be considered a 'pseudo' ultimate poison."

Su Wen smiled faintly.

"Heh, then you'd better find me a real one." Dugu Bo said, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"Ice Emperor."

Su Wen waved his hand.

A sliver of emerald green slowly emerged.

"This scorpion? Isn't it an ice-type creature?" Dugu Bo touched the poison needle in confusion.

Su Wen: "..."

"Hiss... Such potent poison, such terrifying methamphetamine!" In no time, Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly contracted, and the green color spread rapidly from his fingertips to his arm. In an instant, half of his body turned emerald green.

The toxins surged from the soul bone, attempting to resist, but they were utterly crushed and routed by the toxins on the other side.

"Ugh... Pfft!" Dugu Bo suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"help me!"

Su Wen shook his head, patted his shoulder, and the eerie green toxin was then absorbed into his body through his palm.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Dugu Bo felt as if he had experienced both extreme heat and cold, and he was panting heavily.

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

A figure rushed into the courtyard, followed by several others.

They were members of Class One of the Heavenly Battle.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan, who was in the lead, rushed over in a panic to help Dugu Bo. She looked at Su Wen, who was standing calmly to the side, and her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.

She could naturally tell that what she had just seen was poison...

But he could easily control the poison that nearly killed his grandfather. Was it also through his soul bone?
"No, my martial soul is rather special. If it can do something, then I can do it too..." Su Wen said with a smile.

"This is the ultimate poison?" Dugu Bo was shocked.

"good."

Su Wen nodded.

"But it's not ice-based..."

"Just dual extreme attributes," Su Wenyun said casually.
"Damn!" Dugu Bo's lips twitched violently. "He's a real monster."

Only now did he seem to have uncovered just the tip of the iceberg of Su Wen's strength.

This kid is far more than just one ferocious beast!
……

Shrek Academy.

Inside the spacious and bright dormitory.

Tang San was sullen and unhappy. Although he had long since broken away from the shabby Shrek Academy, he was still resentful. All of this was because of the gauze wrapped around his leg. Ever since he was captured by Dugu Bo and severely beaten, even his ultimate technique... the bet, had no effect whatsoever.

The other party rejected his bet and severely humiliated him.

"This is... infuriating!" Tang San pounded on the wall, gritting his teeth.

He began to fantasize about when he would be promoted to a higher title, or when he would run into his father and catch that guy to avenge today's humiliation.

"Third Brother, there's an auction in Tiandou City today, let's go check it out."

Xiao Wu skipped in, grinning.

"Ah."

Upon seeing Xiao Wu, Tang San rarely showed a smile.

"Oh right, Rongrong is going too." Xiaowu pulled the hand of the pretty girl in the white dress beside her and dragged her into the house.

"Oh..." Tang San slumped down again.

Their romantic getaway for two is ruined.
