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

Dugu Bo's voice carried a rare hint of urgency.

This was exactly what Lin Ye was waiting for.

"Senior, to fundamentally resolve the poison of the Martial Soul backlash, we must find a permanent host for the toxin."

"Parasite?"

"That's right!"

"But what kind of organism should we look for to serve as a host for the toxin?"

Lin Ye slowly raised one finger.

"It's naturally a soul bone!"

"Moreover, she needs a soul bone with a similar attribute to her martial soul to serve as a carrier for the toxin."

"After obtaining the soul bone, the backlash toxins generated by the martial soul can be forced into the soul bone."

In this way, the toxins will not erode her own meridians.

At this moment, Dugu Bo stared intently into Lin Ye's eyes.

Doubtful,

"Kid, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"Senior." Lin Ye's expression remained unchanged.

"You just saw the results with your own eyes. If I really wanted to lie to you, why would I go to this lengths in front of you?"

He paused, then added.

"Moreover, this method can not only cure your granddaughter's poison, but also the toxins that have accumulated in your body for seventy-eight years."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's breathing became noticeably heavier.

"But this process takes time."

Lin Ye stretched out his palm, his five fingers spread wide.

"The toxins cannot be cleared all at once; they must be removed gradually in stages, while also being adapted and fused with the soul bone."

"The entire process, conservatively estimated, will take at least one year."

"One year..."

Dugu Bo pondered the timing repeatedly in his mind.

But Lin Ye didn't actually think that way.

At his rate of devouring skills, it wouldn't take him half a year to use them all.

But he kept talking about it for a year.

the reason is simple.

The one-year detoxification period means that Dugu Bo must maintain close contact with him throughout the year.

This means he now has the protection of a Title Douluo!

For him, who is currently only level 28, the protection of a titled Douluo is almost equivalent to a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Whether you're a nobody or some other monster,

With Dugu Bo protecting him, almost no one dared to touch him.

This deal was incredibly profitable!

Dugu Yan, who had been listening for a long time, no longer showed any of her previous disdain or impatience.

She looked down at her hands, feeling the long-lost lightness within her body.

The shackles that had weighed on her since childhood were mostly removed tonight.

She had almost forgotten what it felt like to be free of toxins.

"grandfather."

Dugu Yan raised her head, her usual playful expression unusually serious, and said...

"I think what he said is true. I do feel much better now, and my meridians are clearer than they have been in the past three years combined."

Then Dugu Bo raised his head.

He glanced at his granddaughter, then at Lin Ye.

The murderous intent in those eerie green eyes had long since vanished.

Instead, there is a profound examination.

There was a full ten seconds of silence.

"Kid."

Dugu Bo finally spoke.

"I have lived for seventy-eight years and have never owed anyone a favor, nor have I easily trusted anyone."

He walked up to Lin Ye, and a rare smile appeared on his withered face.

"But what you did tonight has left me no choice but to believe you."

"One year is fine."

Dugu Bo's voice was deep and firm.

One year.

This is not a short period of time.

But for Dugu Bo, if he could truly cure the poison of the martial soul backlash that had plagued two generations of his family,

Let alone a year,

He can wait ten years!

"Young man, from this day forward, for the next year, I, Dugu Bo, will protect you."

"Your business is my business. Anyone who touches you is going against me."

Hearing this, Lin Ye finally felt relieved.

It became.

It's finally done!

The protection of a titled Douluo is now in hand.

But his expression remained calm; he simply clasped his hands and bowed slightly.

"Thank you for your trust, senior."

Then Dugu Bo turned his back and stood with his hands behind his back.

"And... those herbs you stole tonight."

Lin Ye's movements froze for a moment.

"Consider it a gift from this old man to you."

"Your generosity is greatly appreciated, senior! Lin Ye is extremely grateful!"

Lin Ye stood there, feeling incredibly happy.

nailed it.

The protection of a titled Douluo is now in hand.

The magic herb is in hand.

My mental strength has surged, and I've got it.

If things proceed steadily, his strength should increase at least two to three times within a year.

The greater the risk, the better.

The greater the harvest!

So cool and awesome!

"Kid."

Suddenly, Dugu Bo spoke, his tone much calmer than before.

"I have a question that you must answer truthfully."

"Please speak, senior."

"What is your relationship with the Spirit Hall?"

The atmosphere froze immediately after those words were spoken.

Then Lin Ye raised his head and looked directly at Dugu Bo.

"Senior, I have no connection with the Spirit Hall."

Upon hearing Lin Ye's answer, Dugu Bo's pupils dilated instantly.

It's okay?

He originally thought that, looking across the entire Douluo Continent, there was no other organization besides those old fogies in the Spirit Hall who could cultivate such a heaven-defying monster.

But upon closer reflection, it does indeed make sense.

If this kid really is from the Spirit Hall, there's no way he wouldn't be accompanied by someone.

The Spirit Hall has always spared no expense in cultivating geniuses.

There will always be guards accompanying them, and there will always be hidden sentries.

But this kid ventured into Sunset Forest all by himself from beginning to end.

There wasn't even a helper.

"Kid, you really don't belong to any faction? Including those sects."

Dugu Bo's tone became subtle.

"Senior is right." Lin Ye shrugged, his tone casual.

"I, Lin Ye, have been an orphan since childhood, with no one to rely on. It is already a miracle that I survived to the age of six."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression relaxed slightly.

An orphan?

Possessing such an extraordinary martial spirit and talent, yet he is an orphan without parents?

If this were in the Spirit Hall or other sects, it would probably be worshipped as an ancestor long ago.

but……

"etc."

Something suddenly flashed through Dugu Bo's mind, and he abruptly raised his head.

"Kid, you just said... you'd survive until today?"

"Yes, that's right."

How old are you this year?

Lin Ye thought for a moment, then stretched out one hand with his five fingers spread.

Then he raised the index finger of his other hand.

"Six years old."

"What did you say?"

Dugu Bo's voice suddenly rose, and his dark green eyes narrowed sharply.

"Kid, you're... only six years old?!"

Dugu Yan, who was standing to the side, was also completely stunned.

Her mouth was agape, her eyes wide open, and she looked at Lin Ye as if he were a three-headed, six-armed monster.

"Six...six years old?"

Dugu Yan's voice was incoherent.

"You're actually that much younger than me?!"

She subconsciously looked Lin Ye up and down again.

He was tall and robust, though his face still looked somewhat youthful.

But his dark eyes revealed a depth and composure far beyond that of his peers.

She had previously thought Lin Ye was at most twelve or thirteen years old, at most a precocious child prodigy.

Is it six years old?

Six years old!

A six-year-old Great Soul Master!

A six-year-old with two millennium soul rings!

At the age of six, he was able to overcome the poison barrier of a Title Douluo and steal an entire herb garden.

She can actually sit down and negotiate with her grandfather?!

"That can't be..."

Dugu Yan murmured, her voice completely devoid of its previous arrogance.
