Duguyan gracefully moved to Dugu Bo's side. Her delicate fingers gently grasped the old man's sleeve. This affectionate gesture was like a time - traveler, making Dugu Bo involuntarily recall the days when his granddaughter was a little girl.
Her hand softly climbed onto Dugu Bo's wrist, carefully, as if afraid of disturbing the elderly bloodline.
Dugu Bo, half - believing and half - doubting, circulated his internal force, ready to defend against possible toxin attacks. But what happened next astonished him beyond measure - the toxin seemed to have never existed at all, vanishing without a trace.
His soul power was like a clay ox entering the sea, not touching anything unclean. This scene in front of him not only confirmed his granddaughter's words but also made him look at this young soul master in a new light.
"Yanzi, you..."
Dugu Bo's eyes widened. His gaze was a mixture of disbelief and profound relief.
He looked at his granddaughter, Duguyan. The vitality that had returned to her after years of hardship made his heart tighten, a combination of astonishment and overwhelming joy.
"Yes, grandpa. You heard me right. Now I can control this toxin as I like."
Duguyan's voice was melodious and firm. The reassuring smile blooming on her face seemed to showcase her newly - acquired power.
Witnessing the change in his granddaughter, Dugu Bo's emotions surged like a tide.
This young man named Chen Feng had brought him so many surprises and incredibilities - he had actually cured the toxin that had troubled his granddaughter for years.
However, deep in his heart, he still had deep doubts about the stubborn toxin in his own body, which was like an unshakable boulder.
The toxin had been with him for years, and no one had been able to cure it. Could this young man really have such an ability?
"Old Mr. Dugu Bo, the toxin has been bothering you for many years. Are you willing to let me try to remove it?"
Chen Feng's voice was like a gentle breeze, calm and with a hint of certainty.
Dugu Bo's expression became complex. His voice was hoarse and full of vicissitudes.
"Do you really have such a skill?"
He was already a legend in the soul - master world, but this toxin had always been a pain in his heart. Chen Feng's confidence caused a crack to appear in the frozen land of his heart, and he looked forward to and cautiously explored the glimmer of hope.
"Yes." Chen Feng nodded slightly.
"What method?" Dugu Bo's voice revealed an uncontrollable eagerness.
"You just need to take this."
Chen Feng smiled gently and deftly took out a lush, green fairy herb from his soul - guide device.
Dugu Bo stared at the fairy herb, still half - believing and half - doubting.
"Grandpa, don't worry. Chen Feng will definitely be able to do it." Duguyan's eyes were filled with trust in Chen Feng.
Dugu Bo nodded, took a deep breath, and put the fairy herb into his mouth.
A cool sensation immediately spread throughout his body, like the melting snow water in early spring flowing slowly, taking away the chill of winter.
Under the cleansing of this cool feeling, he felt that the toxin in his body that had been there for years began to be led by a gentle yet firm force, slowly flowing.
Dugu Bo closed his eyes, fully immersing himself in the circulation of his internal force, feeling that every circulation of his internal force was pushing those stubborn toxins, as if engaged in a silent battle. Time seemed to stand still, and every second became extremely long.
Ten minutes later, Dugu Bo slowly opened his eyes. Those eyes, which should have shown signs of aging, now sparkled with a youthful light, like an eagle that had been through hardships and was reborn, ready to soar into the sky.
He took a deep breath, feeling an unprecedented sense of lightness and freshness in his body, as if he had been completely re - made.
Dugu Bo inwardly marveled. He had originally doubted the young man's medical skills, but now it was as if he was seeing a living master of medicine right in front of him.
Chen Feng's techniques were so exquisite that he had easily tamed the toxin that had been in his body for years.
He could feel that the toxin in his body was gradually being subdued under Chen Feng's treatment, and the meridians in his body were gradually becoming unobstructed, as if the future within reach was a complete purification.
...
After much consideration, Dugu Bo finally decided to personally send Chen Feng back to Shrek Academy.
The setting sun was like blood, and its afterglow gently covered the stone bricks of Shrek Academy, which exuded the marks of time. Dugu Bo's steps were steady and firm, and the three figures gradually faded away in front of the teaching building filled with countless legends.
"Dugu Bo, what are you doing here?!" Flanders took a defensive stance, and a trace of barely noticeable worry flashed in his eyes.
Under this golden sunset glow, Dugu Bo's arrival was undoubtedly unexpected.
"Oh no, it's all over!"
The Grandmaster's expression was tense, and his reaction was intense. The usual rigorous look was completely gone, and his heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest.
"Xiaogang, what are you afraid of? At worst, we'll die together."
Flanders' mouth curved into a bitter smile, and his voice carried a wild and unrestrained pride, as if he had seen through life and death.
Liu Erlong's eyes flashed with a worried glint. She recalled the scene when the three of them joined hands to go to Dugu Bo to get Chen Feng back. The battle at that time was so tragic and powerless. In the end, they had to admit that even the three of them combined were no match for Dugu Bo.
Oh no, could this Poison Douluo be here for revenge?
"Brother Flanders, I'm here to apologize." Dugu Bo's voice drifted slowly, carrying a hint of barely noticeable embarrassment and sincerity.
Flanders froze in place, and a shocked light burst in his eyes. This situation was beyond his expectations.
In his many years of experience, it was almost impossible for Dugu Bo to bow his head to others.
The self - esteem and pride of a titled Douluo were beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
Yet now, in front of these young people, he softly uttered words of apology.
"Xiaogang, hit me. I suspect there's something wrong with my ears."
Flanders' voice trembled slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart.
With a slap, the Grandmaster's palm landed precisely on Flanders' face. This slap was neither too heavy nor too light, but it was like the boundary between reality and a dream, waking Flanders up from his confusion.
"Damn it, that really hurt... So it's true! Dugu Bo actually apologized to me!"
Flanders first touched his cheek, and then the surprise in his eyes gradually melted into joy and excitement. He almost wanted to jump up to celebrate this incredible fact.
Chen Feng couldn't help but rub his forehead. Flanders' behavior was really embarrassing.
"Congratulations, Brother Flanders. You've accepted an outstanding disciple. He also helped me detoxify." Dugu Bo nodded gently to Flanders, and his voice carried a hint of barely noticeable relief.
Flanders' body stiffened suddenly. His eyes changed from shock to complexity, and his pupils slightly contracted at Dugu Bo's words. The turmoil in his heart was like a raging storm, tearing at his thoughts.
Dugu Bo, that titled Douluo who was at the height of his power on the entire Douluo Continent, was actually poisoned?
Even more incredibly, his disciple Chen Feng actually had the ability to detoxify such a high - level toxin on Dugu Bo?
Flanders' mind went blank for a moment.
