Douluo Continent: The Evil Tiger Subdues the Eight Desolations, and Marries Zhu Zhuqing

When she said the phrase "not even fully grown," Dugu Yan deliberately lowered her voice.

But Lin Ye heard it clearly.

Lin Ye: "..."

Not even fully grown yet?

No,

Eldest sister,

Are you polite?

Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side, glanced at Lin Ye's expression and coughed lightly.

"Yanyan, don't underestimate him."

Then Dugu Bo turned around, his gaze falling on Lin Ye, his tone indifferent.

"Kid, show me your martial spirit and spirit rings."

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow after hearing this.

Row.

Since the old man has spoken, let's open this young lady's eyes.

"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, possessed."

hum! !

A surge of black, malevolent energy erupted from Lin Ye's body.

At the same time, purple lightning exploded around him, and a gale howled.

A terrifyingly malevolent aura instantly swept across the land.

Upon seeing the black, evil tiger, Dugu Yan instinctively took a step back.

She felt like she was being watched by something at the very top of the food chain.

For some reason, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul trembled wildly within her body.

"What... what kind of martial spirit is this?"

Dugu Yan's voice was trembling.

However, what shocked her even more was the soul ring that slowly lit up beneath Lin Ye's feet.

The first one is purple.

Millennium Soul Ring!

The second one is purple.

It's a thousand-year-old soul ring!

Two thousand-year soul rings!

How could a young man at the level of a Great Soul Master possess two thousand-year soul rings?

Dugu Yan's mind went blank for a moment.

She had seen quite a few geniuses at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, and the members of the Royal Dou Team were all elites selected from among thousands.

But a Great Soul Master with two thousand-year soul rings?

This is simply unheard of.

"How...how is this possible?"

At this moment, Dugu Bo stood to the side with his hands behind his back, a rare smile appearing on his lips.

"Yanyan, now you know this kid is no ordinary person, right?"

Dugu Yan opened her mouth, then closed it again.

But she stubbornly turned her head away.

"Tch, a powerful martial soul doesn't mean it can cure poison..."

Dugu Yan's voice had become much softer by this time.

Then Dugu Bo waved his hand, ignoring her stubbornness.

He turned to face Lin Ye, his expression darkening.

"Kid, I've brought Yan Yan with me."

He walked to Dugu Yan's side, put one hand on his granddaughter's shoulder, and looked at her with a sharp gaze.

"You can begin."

His voice then lowered even further.

"I'll be watching from the sidelines. If you dare to try anything funny..."

Before he could finish speaking, his dark green eyes said it all.

There is only one consequence.

Lin Ye remained unfazed.

"Don't worry, senior."

Then Dugu Yan glanced at Dugu Bo, then at Lin Ye, and irritably brushed a stray hair behind her ear.

"Alright, alright, let's get started."

She raised her chin, looking superior.

"I have a match tomorrow..."

Lin Ye didn't argue with her and calmly extended his right hand.

Please give me a drop of your blood.

Dugu Yan frowned and glanced at Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo nodded.

Dugu Yan then raised her finger, her fingertip slightly gathering soul power, and forced out a drop of dark green blood.

The drop of blood hovered in the air; although its toxin concentration was far lower than Dugu Bo's, it was still quite potent.

But the fishy smell was still pungent.

Lin Ye then used his soul power to hold the drop of blood and clasped his hands together.

"Devour, open!"

hum!

A black vortex the size of a fist slowly formed in his palm.

Due to the significant increase in mental strength, this black hole was more condensed and rotated more evenly than when it was used on Dugu Bo before.

"It's about to begin."

At this moment, a precise suction force was released from the black hole and seeped into Dugu Yan's body along her wrist.

For the first few seconds, Dugu Yan felt nothing.

But ten seconds later—

"Um?"

Her eyebrows twitched.

A strange sense of comfort began to spread from my wrist, gradually extending along my meridians throughout my body.

That feeling is hard to describe.

It's like a water pipe that's been clogged for years suddenly being cleared.

The faint, persistent feeling of stagnation in the meridians is fading.

The stinging sensation that often occurred during cultivation is also decreasing.

One after another, wisps of pale green mist were drawn from her palms, swirling and being drawn into the black hole.

"Hmm~"

"So comfortable..."

Dugu Yan murmured something softly without realizing it.

She couldn't remember the last time her meridians were so unobstructed.

It might have been before the age of ten.

At that time, the toxins had not yet begun to accumulate on a large scale, so cultivation was completely unimpeded.

And now, that long-lost feeling of exhilaration has actually returned.

At that moment, Dugu Bo was staring intently at his granddaughter's palm.

He was all too familiar with those pale green poisonous fumes.

That is the innate backlash poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.

Each wisp of poisonous mist extracted signifies a reduction in the toxins within Dugu Yan's body.

A wisp.

Two strands.

Three strands.

more and more!

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes and his breathing became more rapid.

efficient!

It really works!

This kid actually did what he couldn't do in his entire life.

Then, time passed by, minute by minute.

five minutes.

ten minutes.

Fifteen minutes have passed.

At this moment, Dugu Yan's complexion had visibly become much rosier.

The dullness that had lingered between her brows and eyes for years was fading, replaced by a healthy glow.

However, at this moment,

"Okay, that's enough."

For some reason, Lin Ye suddenly withdrew his Devouring ability.

The black hole in his hand vanished with a roar.

Dugu Yan was still immersed in that comfortable feeling when she was suddenly interrupted and was taken aback.

"Huh? Why did it stop?"

Dugu Bo's expression also changed.

"Boy, why did you stop?"

His tone suddenly became sharp.

"The toxins in Yan Yan's body haven't been completely cleared. Although I'm not as skilled at detoxification as you are, I could clearly see just now that at least 30% of them remain in Yan Yan's body!"

Why did you stop?

Lin Ye raised his head and looked calmly at Dugu Bo.

"Senior, I know there's still 30% left. But I can't continue."

"Because there's no point in continuing."

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Dugu Bo's eyes suddenly turned dangerous.

What does "meaningless" mean?

"Senior, please don't be angry, let me finish."

Lin Ye stood up and moved his fingers, which were a little numb from maintaining the same posture for a long time.

"My Devouring skill can clear the toxins that have accumulated in Dugu Yan's body. You have seen this with your own eyes, there is no problem with that."

"But the problem is that the innate backlash poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul is not an external poison."

"It is a byproduct of the martial spirit itself during the process of cultivation or level improvement."

Lin Ye looked at Dugu Bo.

"In other words, even if I completely cleanse her body of toxins today, new toxins will be generated again when she cultivates or breaks through to the next level."

"It only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."

Dugu Bo's body stiffened slightly.

Of course he knows this principle.

It is precisely because I knew this that I have been in despair for so many years.

"Kid, how can we address the root cause?"
