"What... Your Excellency, are you saying that you can cure the flaw in my Martial Soul right now?" Dugu Bo's face was a mix of shock, joy, and a hint of disbelief.
"Of course, after all, you are now my protector. I wouldn't want you to suddenly drop dead."
Ye Feng nodded, then handed Dugu Bo a small black pill he had prepared in advance, speaking indifferently, "Take it, it will benefit you."
For subordinates, merely painting a grand picture isn't enough; they need to taste at least a crumb of the pie to follow you wholeheartedly.
The poison in Dugu Bo's body had penetrated deep into his marrow and merged with his Soul Power. Normal detoxification methods wouldn't work; only a Lexical Trait could resolve it.
Ye Feng decided to go for a ten-draw.
However, when the Lexical Traits appeared this time, Ye Feng was dumbfounded...
Because the first one on the list was a red Lexical Trait—
[Perfected Poison Body (Red): You are a natural master of poison, immune to all toxins, Poison Talent +500]
[Unyielding (Green): For every 10% of blood lost, combat power increases by 1%, up to 5%]
[...]
"Damn! How did I get so lucky this time, actually drawing a red Lexical Trait... Dugu Bo is getting a bargain..." Ye Feng's mouth twitched slightly, feeling somewhat speechless.
Unfortunately, he didn't use poison himself, and his constitution was already immune to most toxins, so this talent was hardly an enhancement for him.
But if this Lexical Trait were equipped on Dugu Bo, it would be a life-changing boon, and his cultivation would skyrocket! Dugu Bo was of great use to Ye Feng, so he wasn't too stingy and didn't plan to withhold this Lexical Trait.
In addition, Ye Feng had drawn eight white Lexical Traits and one green Lexical Trait, some good, some bad, and he intended to give them all to Dugu Bo in one go.
The effects of white Lexical Traits were actually quite weak, and even if there were side effects, they would be extremely minimal for a Titled Douluo, negligible.
...
"Alright!"
Dugu Bo looked at the black pill. Although he didn't quite believe that such a pill could cure him, he still took it without hesitation and swallowed it in one gulp.
As for whether it was poisonous, he wasn't worried at all.
He was a master of poison himself; he could die in countless ways, but being poisoned by someone else was impossible...
Moreover, if Ye Feng wanted him dead, he would have acted long ago, why go through all this trouble?
As the pill entered his stomach, Dugu Bo didn't feel anything particularly strange, even feeling a bit nauseous, wondering what disgusting thing this pill was made of...
"Young Master Ye, this..."
Dugu Bo was about to say something when his eyes suddenly widened.
Because, at that very moment, he felt a strange transformation occurring in his body!
The toxins that had been constantly eroding his body had vanished in an instant! Previously, his toxins would flare up every night, causing him unbearable pain, and he had to suppress them with Soul Power at all times!
But now, all of that was completely gone.
It was as if his body had become completely immune to poison.
Not only that, but he also found that his understanding of the path of poison had skyrocketed at this moment! "Boom—"
Dugu Bo felt the Soul Power within his body surging wildly. Originally, most of his Soul Power had been used to suppress the backlash of Poison from his Martial Soul, making it difficult for his cultivation to advance.
But now, he no longer had to worry about the Poison backlash. With the explosive surge of Soul Power within him, he directly broke through the bottleneck of level 91, reaching the terrifying level 92! It was important to know that after surpassing level 90, each level was a significant bottleneck.
Dugu Bo had been stuck at this level for a full ten years, and now he had finally broken through, bringing him to tears of joy.
"Thank you... thank you, Young Master Ye! Young Master Ye's great kindness is something I can never repay. In the future, if Young Master Ye ever needs anything, I am willing to go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"
Dugu Bo knelt down directly, tears streaming down his face.
"There's no need for this. This was just an agreed-upon transaction," Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, also somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Dugu Bo to break through to level 92.
Each level for a Titled Douluo was vastly different, and with Dugu Bo no longer needing to suppress his Poison, the combat power he could display should be even stronger than an ordinary level 92 Titled Douluo.
"Young Master Ye, about this Pill..." At this moment, Dugu Bo suddenly looked up at Ye Feng, his eyes carrying a hint of embarrassment and a trace of ingratiation, but he hesitated to speak further. "There is only one Pill."
"But don't worry, your granddaughter's Poison is not as deep as yours. She doesn't need any Pill. All you need to do is find a Soul Bone for her and transfer the Poison into the Soul Bone. That will eliminate the backlash from her Martial Soul," Ye Feng said indifferently, directly telling Dugu Bo the solution.
Of course, Ye Feng could also use a Lexical Trait, but every time he drew one, he felt like he was wasting his luck. For someone like Dugu Yan, it really wasn't worth it.
Although Dugu Bo's reputation outside wasn't great, and he was known to be ruthless, his character in certain aspects was still decent. That's why Ye Feng was willing to invest a red Lexical Trait in him and even told him the method to cure Dugu Yan.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye!" Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo kowtowed again in gratitude.
However, he also felt some regret in his heart. If he could do it over, he would have preferred to leave this miraculous Pill for Dugu Yan.
After all, this Pill not only solved the problem of his Martial Soul's Poison backlash but also enhanced his talent! Such a heaven-defying treasure, given to an old man like him who was nearing the end of his life, even he felt it was a bit of a waste.
But what was done was done, and he could only accept it.
At the same time, the slight resentment he had towards Ye Feng completely dissipated, replaced by deep gratitude. He now regarded Ye Feng as his savior.
"Alright, alright, this was just a transaction," Ye Feng waved his hand, then suddenly thought of something and said, "I heard that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is the best academy in the Heaven Dou Empire. I'd like to take a look."
"Young Master Ye, rest assured. I have considerable influence within the Heavenly Dou royal family. If you wish to join the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to study, it's just a matter of a word from me."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo quickly stood up, patting his chest to demonstrate his value, a look of pride on his face.
He owed a huge favor this time, and now that he finally had a chance to repay it, he was naturally very enthusiastic.
Not to mention getting Ye Feng to join the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, even if it were to make him a teacher, he could arrange it directly for the other party.
However... the only thing that surprised him was that he couldn't see through Ye Feng's Soul Power cultivation.
He didn't think that Ye Feng's Soul Power cultivation surpassed his own, but rather speculated that Ye Feng might possess some treasure that shielded his cultivation level. After all, it was normal for a large family to have deep reserves.
Moreover, he had his own ulterior motives.
His granddaughter, Dugu Yan, was at the academy. If he could arrange for Ye Feng to enter the academy, then his granddaughter would have the opportunity to interact with Ye Feng. If the two could hit it off, that would be absolutely perfect!!! After a brief rest, Dugu Bo took Ye Feng and headed towards Heaven Dou City.
...
...
The reason Ye Feng wanted to subdue Dugu Bo was not only because he valued the combat power of a Titled Douluo but also because he valued Dugu Bo's connections.
As a guest elder of the Heaven Dou royal family, Dugu Bo held a significant position throughout the Heaven Dou Empire.
Ye Feng thought he could take this opportunity to enter the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and have some fun.
Naturally, it wasn't for Dugu Yan, but for Qian Renxue.
Unlike the Shrek Seven Devils, Qian Renxue's destiny was in no way inferior to Tang San's.
The reason the Shrek Seven Devils became gods wasn't because their destinies were extraordinary, but because Tang San's destiny was extraordinary. They had been with Tang San for a long time, which allowed them to be influenced by his destiny and eventually achieve godhood.
Qian Renxue, on the other hand, relied on her own talent and hard work to pass the Angel Trials and obtain a godhood.
If it weren't for the transmigrated Tang San, Qian Renxue would have been the true child of destiny in this world!
As for Xiao Wu, she was only fit to become a Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
Of course, even if Tang San had taken away most of the destiny, Qian Renxue could still become a god.
Unfortunately, a lifetime of talent and effort was wasted on her "Love Brain."
The Love Continent truly lived up to its name.
However, this time, Ye Feng had intercepted the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and with the influence of Lexical Traits, the Shrek Seven Devils were essentially half-ruined, and Tang San was deeply entangled in emotional turmoil, unable to extricate himself.
Forget about being noticed by Qian Renxue, it was even questionable whether Tang San would ever meet her.
If Ye Feng could subdue Qian Renxue in advance, he could cultivate her in the fu
ture to take control of the Spirit Hall.
Love Brain or not, as long as she was trained well, she could still be very useful.
