Dongfang Jing then spoke up, bringing the topic back on track.
"Considering that you took care of Yao'er, if you really want a sports car, you only need to provide your own rare metals."
"I can help you create the core magic array that drives the vehicle."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo felt that the mental and emotional impact he had experienced in just one day was greater than that of the past few decades combined.
Look, they even know the lost method of making soul tools.
Yan Yan, from now on you should give up on that brat from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Grandpa has already found the best candidate for you.
Dugu Bo had already started making his own plans.
But compared to sports cars,
At this moment, he was clearly more concerned about something else.
He glanced out the car window and saw another sports car following not too far behind, with three other women inside.
At this moment, only Dongfang Jing, Bi Ji, and himself were in the car.
This is the perfect time to ask!
Dugu Bo's expression turned serious. He sat up straight and spoke in a very low voice.
"May I ask you two, how much of my condition have you discerned?"
It wasn't just Dongfang Jing who mastered the Xuan Tian Bao Lu.
Even Brigitte had already thoroughly mastered the knowledge about toxicology and pharmacology contained within.
Brigitte looked straight ahead, her tone indifferent.
"Whenever it's cloudy or rainy, you experience a tingling or itchy sensation in your rib area, which gradually intensifies and lasts for more than an hour. This happens once each at noon and midnight. Every night, around midnight, you experience needle-like stabbing pains on the top of your head and the soles of your feet, along with spasms throughout your body. This process lasts for at least half an hour, right?"
Every word was like a heavy hammer blow, striking Dugu Bo's heart hard.
Absolutely right, down to the last detail!
Dugu Bo had anticipated this.
Unexpectedly, the other party really saw through him so clearly.
Since things have come to this point,
For his own sake, and even more so for his granddaughter, he disregarded his reputation and confessed frankly:
"My granddaughter and I both possess the Azure Phosphorous Serpent martial spirit."
"This martial spirit brought powerful poison abilities, but it also made us inherit the backlash of the poison."
His voice trembled slightly.
"My son died because of this. I never want to experience the pain of losing a loved one again."
"I have made countless attempts to detoxify myself, but all I have gained is greater pain."
Dugu Bo's expression was unpredictable, and he became more and more agitated as he spoke.
He looked at Biji and Dongfang Jing, and with his last hope, sincerely asked for their guidance.
"You and your apprentice have amazing eyesight; I truly admire you."
"May I be so bold as to ask, is there any way to detoxify this poison?"
"If there is anything, please let me know! If you ever need anything from me, Dugu Bo, just let me know! As long as you don't cross my bottom line."
Dongfang Jing raised his hand and pressed the button to roll up the car window.
The interior of the car is instantly isolated from the outside world.
Biji remained silent for a moment, then turned her head, her gentle gaze falling on Dugu Bo.
"Are you wondering if I, with my Emerald Swan Martial Soul, can cure your poison?"
Dugu Bo nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with undisguised anticipation.
That's what he meant.
However, under his expectant gaze, Brigitte gently shook her head.
Hope was shattered in an instant.
Dugu Bo immediately became agitated: "Why? Could it be that I..."
Seeing that Dugu Bo had misunderstood, Dongfang Jing interrupted him, saying, "Don't be in such a hurry."
"Senior, you need to face reality."
"Your poison has become more and more potent as your strength has grown. This accumulation over the years cannot be easily resolved in a short period of time."
"Furthermore, the Emerald Swan's greatest strength lies in group healing and defense, not in detoxification."
"If it were ordinary poison, it would be fine, but yours is the deadly poison of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, who is a Title Douluo-level expert."
"Although my master is very powerful, he can't completely remove it for you."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo quickly calmed down.
He's not senile; Dongfang Jing's words are all reasonable.
But when he heard the last sentence, he was stunned again.
Bi Ji nodded slightly, which was considered an affirmation of Dongfang Jing's statement.
"I can indeed temporarily suppress the effects of your poison."
"But one day, it will come back with even greater force."
"At that time, you will surely die."
Brigitte turned her gaze to him, with a hint of pity.
"As for your granddaughter, if the poisoning is not severe, it can be cured."
After listening to Bi Ji's words, Dugu Bo finally understood.
He let out a long breath, and his tense body relaxed.
"That's good."
"As long as Yan Yan can be saved, my own life is of no concern."
A look of relief appeared on his face.
It felt as if a huge boulder that had been weighing on my heart for years had finally been removed.
However,
Dongfang Jing's next words, however, completely shattered the relief that had just risen in his heart.
"Senior, you may have misunderstood something."
Dongfang Jing leaned back in the driver's seat, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Even if we have the ability to detoxify.
"But...we don't seem to have any reason to help you."
He rested one hand on the steering wheel, his fingertips tapping lightly on it.
"You said you could help us with things. But as you know, we have four Title Douluos here."
"And these four..."
Looking through the rearview mirror, Dongfang Jing met Dugu Bo's cold, vertical pupils.
"Aren't they all better than you? It seems we don't need you at all?"
After saying that,
Dugu Bo immediately trembled with anger, his dark green hair moving on its own even without wind.
He pointed at Dongfang Jing's back, suppressing his overwhelming anger.
"you!"
"Yanyan will be joining you later. As her teammate in the Soul Master Competition, shouldn't you help her?"
"Now that the poison in her body has been cured, her strength might even reach a new level!"
Faced with the furious Dugu Bo, Dongfang Jing remained completely unmoved, even letting out a soft snort.
"strength?"
He countered with a question.
"Senior, if I may be frank, will Dugu Yan be able to break through to the Soul King level in a year?"
"You know perfectly well that her talent isn't top-tier."
Dongfang Jing's tone was calm, yet every word was piercing.
"And do I need to elaborate on the strength of our team members?"
"Yao'er is only twelve years old, yet she is already a Soul Master."
"This is only because I'm not by her side; otherwise, she would have been a Soul King long ago."
"Look behind us, the girl driving that orange sports car is named Wang Qiu'er."
"She's about our age, but she's already a level 61 Soul Emperor, and she possesses an extremely rare pure-blooded dragon martial soul, even purer and nobler than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
As he spoke, Dongfang Jing looked ahead and the magnificent architectural complex situated on the mountainside came into view.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is not located within Heaven Dou City, but on a mountain outside the city.
Or rather, the entire mountain is the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
Dongfang Jing slowly parked the car at the foot of the mountain, his fingertips rhythmically tapping the steering wheel.
His voice suddenly turned cold, carrying an undeniable sense of oppression.
"To be honest, if it weren't for the minimum number of participants in this Soul Master Competition, the three of us alone would be enough to win the championship."
"The rest are dispensable."
"The only reason I decided to invite them is because they are Yao'er's friends, nothing more."
