Chapter 72 Ye Liuyun's Deal with Dugu Bo
"Don't get agitated."
Ye Liuyun waved his hand casually, as if to dispel the tense atmosphere in the air:
"I have no ill intentions toward you or Dugu Yan. If I had really harmed her, I wouldn't be standing here wasting my breath talking to you; I would be using her to blackmail you."
"Don't worry about how I know, it's not important."
Ye Liuyun held up one finger, his tone full of seduction:
"This is a deal."
"I will take responsibility for eradicating the health problems in you and Dugu Yan."
"And all you need to do is give me that herb garden in Sunset Forest."
Seeing the doubt and uncertainty in Dugu Bo's eyes, Ye Liuyun chuckled:
"You won't lose out in this deal."
"A treasure is a treasure because it has a purpose."
"In your hands, that medicinal garden will only make your half-dead body feel a little better; it'll just be a wasteland overgrown with weeds. That's a complete waste."
"But in my hands, it can realize its true value."
Ye Liuyun recalled the past.
In fact, he had already considered the Yin Yang Ice And Fire Eyes when he was a soul beast.
Unfortunately, he didn't dare to go when he was weak, and he was too big when he was strong.
When his cultivation level reached hundreds of thousands, his true form had become a towering tree that reached the heavens and the earth, rooted in the core area of the Star Dou Forest.
If he wanted to move to Sunset Forest.
Not to mention the long journey, the terrifying aura alone would probably attract the attention of Qian Daoliu or Di Tian as soon as he left his carefully prepared old home.
In the end, he figured he had exceptional talent anyway, so he decided to stay put and practice slowly.
Moreover, the Yin Yang Ice And Fire Eyes is hidden very deep, and it is not something that can be found easily.
Otherwise, with the two great empires and so many people from Spirit Hall, they should have already used that place to rise to the top in one step.
After all, knowledge about immortal herbs doesn't circulate among the common people, but it is still recorded in the hands of some powerful families.
But things are different now.
He transformed into a human, light as a feather, free from the constraints of his original form, yet he desperately needed external forces to accelerate his growth.
That medicinal herb garden was the key to his rapid growth in strength.
Across from him, Dugu Bo fell into a long silence.
He was weighing his options.
That medicinal garden was indeed his lifeline, his only safe haven from the backlash within his body.
But compared to Dugu Yan's life, and the future of the Dugu family...
An inanimate object is indeed not worth mentioning.
If the poisoning problem could really be solved, what would he need that medicinal herb garden for?
"Kid..."
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, the killing intent in his eyes receding, replaced by extreme caution:
"Words are not enough to prove anything."
"Why should I believe you?"
Ye Liuyun didn't say anything, and simply raised his right hand.
Buzz!
A dense, emerald-green light condensed in his palm, interspersed with a few strands of noble gold.
Ye Liuyun used his soul power to exchange for the purest life force and pointed a finger at Dugu Bo's withered body.
Call out!
The green light instantly entered Dugu Bo's body.
In the Douluo Continent, the methods of most healing-type Soul Masters are actually "repair".
For example, if you have a cut on your body and are bleeding continuously.
The healing soul master's job is to accelerate wound healing, stop bleeding, and then restore the body's condition by stimulating its potential.
This treatment aims to remove negative states.
However, there is no solution to the situation where Dugu Bo constantly produces poison.
Because toxins are constantly being generated, negative states cannot be eliminated at all.
But Ye Liuyun is different.
His treatment involves directly restoring the patient's health bar.
When people are in a good state, negative states will also disappear.
Although both the former and the latter result in removing the negative status and restoring life.
The difference lies in the order.
For treatment methods that directly replenish blood.
Are you poisoned? Losing 10 HP per second?
It doesn't matter.
I'll give you 10,000 health points right away!
Even if the toxins are still there, even if you continue to lose blood, as long as your health bar is sufficient and your vitality is strong enough.
Even if the negative effects cannot be eliminated, the toxins may cause harm, but they will not be life-threatening.
Boom!
As the green light entered his body.
Dugu Bo trembled violently.
He could clearly feel a rich life force repairing his body!
The bones and organs that had been aching due to the backlash from years of potent poisoning had been greatly relieved.
That feeling...
It's like a person dying of thirst in the desert suddenly jumping into a cool spring of life.
Feels so good!
Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a burst of light suddenly appeared in his originally cloudy and cold green eyes.
But then the conversation took a turn.
"If it's only this level, it's not enough."
"What else do you have to say?"
His biggest health problem is not simply poisoning.
If that were all there was to it, he would have solved the problem long ago.
The most troublesome part is that the poison is produced by itself.
No amount of treatment will help unless this problem is solved.
Ye Liuyun withdrew his finger, looked at Dugu Bo whose complexion had become much rosier, and explained.
"I'm just proving that I have a treatment method. In any case, as long as you keep me by your side, there's no problem prolonging my life."
"But if you give me the herb garden, I will completely solve your health problems."
"A deal?"
Although he was asking a question, Ye Liuyun's voice was filled with certainty.
He knew that Dugu Bo had no choice.
This is like someone asking you: "If you spend some of your savings, you can cure your and your mother's terminal illnesses. Would you want to get treatment?"
This is not an option, but a command that must be executed.
In this world, perhaps some people would sell their souls for profit, but for someone like Dugu Bo, whose entire clan is almost wiped out, what could be more important than family?
He might not care about his own life or death. After all, he had lived a long life and enjoyed his glory days. Even if he died from the poison immediately, it would be a worthwhile life.
But... what about Dugu Yan?
That granddaughter, blossoming like the rising sun, who hadn't yet had the chance to enjoy her prime.
The only bloodline of the Dugu family, his only descendant.
Ye Liuyun was convinced that Dugu Bo would make the right choice.
This is why Ye Liuyun dared to expose his special abilities so recklessly in front of Dugu Bo, and was not even worried about his soul beast identity being exposed.
For a Title Douluo, the soul ring and soul bone of a 100,000-year-old soul beast are priceless treasures, enough to drive anyone crazy.
But what makes us human is that we often have something in our hearts that we want to protect more than power.
Really.
The shock in Dugu Bo's eyes quickly faded, replaced by an almost insane determination and fervor.
"It's a deal!"
Dugu Bo took a sudden step forward, his green hands gripping Ye Liuyun's shoulders tightly, as if he had grasped at the only straw to save him.
"Let's go! Let's go now!"
"Wait a minute."
Faced with Dugu Bo's impatient eagerness to carry him away, Ye Liuyun instead pressed down on his trembling green hand.
There's no need to rush.
Ye Liuyun straightened his collar, which had been ruffled by the wind, and regained his usual composure:
"I must go back and say goodbye to the dean and the others, and keep up the act."
"We two need to find the right opportunity to sneak away."
"I'm afraid of encountering troublesome people blocking my way."
"Trouble?"
Dugu Bo frowned, and the arrogance of a titled Douluo surged up from him instantly.
In this small territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, who dares to disrespect Poison Douluo?
"Who dares to stop me?"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly and said domineeringly.
Ye Liuyun looked at the confident Dugu Bo and casually uttered a name:
"Clear Sky Douluo."
Gaa—
Dugu Bo's domineering aura, which he was about to unleash, suddenly froze, and he looked like a duck whose neck had been grabbed.
"Who... who?!"
Dugu Bo's eyes widened, and for the first time, a feeling of "fear" appeared in his green eyes:
"The one who killed the former pope?"
That was the ruthless man who, with his strength as a newly appointed Title Douluo, single-handedly killed the previous Pope, Qian Xunji!
Even Dugu Bo, in the face of that Clear Sky Hammer, could only flee for his life.
Ye Liuyun didn't explain, but directly stated the plan:
"Since Prince Xue Xing brought you here, the matter of Shrek Academy joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is basically off."
"We will most likely switch to Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Academy, which is run by Liu Erlong of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family."
"I'll find a chance to sneak out tonight, concealing my presence."
"If you're lucky, you might escape, which would be great."
"What if we're unlucky and get discovered..."
Ye Liuyun looked at Dugu Bo, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes:
"Clear Sky Douluo has old injuries, which are the accumulated problems left over from Spirit Hall back then, and also his fatal weakness."
"Let's team up and wear him down!"
Madman!
Upon hearing the news that Clear Sky Douluo would be dragged down, Dugu Bo instinctively wanted to sneer:
You're just a lowly Soul Venerable, yet your arrogance is bigger than athlete's foot!
That's Clear Sky Douluo! He could smash you into mincemeat with a single hammer blow and then drag him to his death.
But Dugu Bo swallowed the words back down.
This kid is a soul beast that has been around for over 100,000 years!
Who knows what secret cards this ancient monster, who has lived for countless years, is holding?
The way he casually bestowed life force just now was beyond the scope of an ordinary Soul Master.
If he truly possesses some secret technique for mutual destruction, or a curse specifically targeting injuries...
Add to that my Jade Phosphor Serpent King Venom and Medusa's Gaze...
If Clear Sky Douluo really suffered injuries in that battle that he has not recovered from to this day, it must have been extremely serious.
Hiss--
After some mental calculation, Dugu Bo was horrified to discover that there might actually be some potential!
Since we don't need to engage in direct combat, we can just run and stall until the opponent's old injury flares up.
"Gulp."
Dugu Bo swallowed hard.
The way he looked at Ye Liuyun completely changed.
It's no longer about looking at a junior, nor is it about looking at a transactional object; it's about looking at a competitor of the same level.
Even a titled Douluo could fall victim to a slight misstep.
Without the slightest hesitation, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with green light, his killing intent palpable:
"Good."
"For Yan'er's sake, even if the opponent is Clear Sky Douluo, I'll just self-destruct while holding him. As long as you keep your promise afterwards, that's fine."
His combat strength may not be strong, but he is a mixture of highly toxic substances.
His self-destruction at the cost of his life was enough to make a titled Douluo.
Everyone within a hundred miles was dead!
