At an altitude of one hundred meters...

Dugu Bo held Dugu Yan in one arm and Wang Li in the other as they swiftly made their way to the secluded place where he usually suppressed his toxins. It was a special valley located at the center of the Sunset Forest.

The Sunset Forest, the largest wild soul beast forest near Heaven Dou City, had suffered from years of hunting. While there were few high-level soul beasts left, it still housed plenty of creatures that were several thousand to tens of thousands of years old.

This particular valley, located in the heart of the forest, was further protected by a poison formation that Dugu Bo had set up. Even Soul Saints would find it impossible to survive if they ventured in. This made it the perfect place for Dugu Bo to safely suppress his own toxins.

Wang Li's head was spinning. Though his speed was fast compared to others of his age, the speed of a Titled Douluo left him feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Dugu Yan noticed this and quickly spoke up:

"Grandfather, slow down a bit! Xiao Li is about to pass out!"

Wang Li shook his head forcefully. He wasn't used to such high speed, but his body was quickly adapting to it. With a smile, he said:

"Yan Yan, it's fine! I'll get used to it soon, and then I'll be fine."

Dugu Bo's face darkened, and he couldn't help but grunt:

"Young people have good stamina; a little adjustment and you'll be fine."

Then he increased his soul power, speeding up even further.

Before long, they arrived at the heart of the Sunset Forest and landed at Dugu Bo's secluded retreat.

The moment they landed, Dugu Bo, still fuming, tossed Wang Li onto the ground, sending him rolling a few times.

Coldly, he said:

"Kid, what was that second soul skill of yours? How could it suppress the deadly poison of the Blue Phosphor Serpent?"

But before Wang Li could respond, Dugu Yan scolded her grandfather:

"Grandfather, don't be so rough!"

After saying this, she pulled herself out of Dugu Bo's grip, ran over to Wang Li, and helped him up, checking to make sure he wasn't injured.

Dugu Bo had only tossed Wang Li lightly, and with his physical strength, there was no way Wang Li could have gotten hurt.

Although Dugu Bo knew much about the situation, he still had to put on a show.

Wang Li turned to Dugu Yan and gently reassured her:

"I'm fine, Yan Yan."

Then he turned to Dugu Bo with a puzzled expression and asked:

"Senior, what do you mean by 'suppressing the deadly poison of the Blue Phosphor Serpent'?"

Dugu Bo, looking uncomfortable, realized his little "cotton-padded jacket" had spoken to an outsider. When he heard Wang Li's question, he paused for a moment before explaining the situation:

"Our family's Blue Phosphor Serpents possess a top-tier Beast Martial Soul with poison attributes, but their terrifying toxins not only harm enemies but also damage ourselves."

"I've suffered greatly from it. My son died because of it. Even my granddaughter, Yan Yan, has been destined to be poisoned by the Blue Phosphor Serpent's toxins since birth."

"But Yan Yan told me that your second soul skill helped suppress the Blue Phosphor Serpent's deadly poison inside her!"

At this point, Dugu Bo's emerald-green eyes gleamed with an astonishing light.

Dugu Yan looked at Wang Li and nervously explained her condition at the time:

"My Blue Phosphor Serpent's poison had already infiltrated my body. Whenever the weather turned rainy and cold, the poison would flare up, causing me unbearable pain."

"But your second soul skill helped suppress the poison, and after that, I passed out. When I woke up, at least thirty percent of the poison had been suppressed back into my martial soul. Even though it was only thirty percent, I felt an unprecedented sense of relief."

Wang Li seemed to understand at last. He gently took Dugu Yan's hands in his, holding them in front of him, his face full of sincerity and guilt:

"So, Yan Yan, you were suffering because of the Blue Phosphor Serpent's poison. Unfortunately, my soul power isn't enough to completely free you from this pain."

As he spoke, he glanced at Dugu Bo. In front of the Titled Douluo, he didn't feel any sense of security. Only the softness of Dugu Yan's hands brought him any comfort.

Dugu Yan looked at Wang Li with a sincere and remorseful expression, feeling touched. She comforted him:

"Everything's fine now. With your help to suppress the poison, I won't have to suffer like that anymore."

Dugu Bo, unable to tolerate this scene, his temper flaring, stormed over. In just a few steps, he inserted himself between them, prying their hands apart and blocking Dugu Yan's front. He glared at Wang Li and scolded loudly:

"Little brat, stop just holding my granddaughter's hand and tell me about your second soul skill!"

Wang Li looked at Dugu Bo in front of him, then glanced at the amused Dugu Yan behind him, trying to think of what he could say. After a moment, he began:

"My second soul ring comes from a seven-hundred-year-old Crimson Blood Zhi King. It gave me a very powerful healing soul skill and grants immunity to some negative status effects."

"Perhaps because my martial soul is a mutated Blue Silver Grass, specifically, when I use this soul skill, it transforms my soul power into a special type of soul energy."

"For example, when the special soul energy enters your body, Yan Yan, it can heal and make your body immune to negative status effects, like poison, weakness... things like that."

"Still, because my soul power is too low, even after exhausting it, I couldn't completely suppress the Blue Phosphor Serpent's poison."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression became a little distant. His granddaughter had found hope, but unfortunately, his son hadn't met this boy with the mutated martial soul sooner.

But then again, the terrifying poison of their Blue Phosphor Serpent lineage was both their strength and their tragic fate. Who on the continent could cure it?

A mutated martial soul capable of suppressing this poison was a rare phenomenon, one that only happened once in a century.

Dugu Bo finally spoke in a low, serious tone:

"Kid, if you really can completely suppress the poison in Yan Yan's body, and as long as it doesn't violate my principles, I will agree to do three things for you."

Hearing this, Wang Li waved his hand with a casual smile:

"Senior, you really overestimate me..."

Wang Li then stepped in front of Dugu Yan, taking her hands once more and making a firm promise:

"Yan Yan, for you, I will work hard to cultivate and suppress the poison in your body completely!"

Three things seemed too few, but in order to gain the protection of this Titled Douluo, Wang Li figured he could throw all shame aside.

Dugu Yan's eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled, deeply moved by his words. This promise stirred something in her heart, an indescribable feeling:

"Okay, I believe in you!"

Meanwhile, Dugu Bo stood fuming, grinding his teeth. No wonder he couldn't stand Wang Li's conditions. It wasn't about the terms, it was because the brat had his eyes on his beautiful granddaughter.

This... this... damned little devil, born to be evil!

A fleeting thought flashed through Dugu Bo's mind.
