Tang San hesitated for a moment, carefully choosing his words and said:
"Regarding the poison in your body, I have two methods. One is to use certain herbs that counteract potent toxins to directly neutralize it, but this will also cause your poison-based abilities to disappear."
Dugu Bo flatly refused, "Don't even mention that method. Tell me the other one."
Such a response was not unexpected by Tang San, and he continued to state the other option:
"The reason you are poisoned is because you possess a Beast MartialSoul, not an Tool Martial Soul…
"Although soul power can suppress the poison to some extent, it has already become a part of your body."
"If you want to preserve the poison in your body, you must find a host to serve as a storage place for the toxins."
Dugu Bo looked at Tang San with a strange expression. Before he could finish speaking, he coldly uttered two words: "Soul Bone."
Tang San's expression froze, and he looked at Dugu Bo with a hint of astonishment.
"Hmph, do you think I wouldn't have thought of such a simple method? I already knew it, and I am already trying it." Dugu Bo's tone carried a hint of arrogance.
Tang San calmed down, as if he had figured something out, and smiled:
"Did you really think of it yourself? If I'm not mistaken, this was told to you by that person called 'Amon'.
"That's why you're not worried about your granddaughter. You are confident in removing the poison from her body, only lacking a Soul Bone.
"But you can't remove the poison from your own body, because the difficulty is on a completely different level.
"Moreover, he only told you the idea, but didn't tell you how to do it specifically.
"Otherwise, you wouldn't be listening to my nonsense here; you would have killed me long ago."
Dugu Bo was silent, without rebuttal.
After receiving confirmation, a trace of resentment towards Amon flashed through Tang San's heart. If it weren't for him, he could have easily manipulated Dugu Bo and wouldn't have had to endure so much torment.
He etched this name in his heart.
Having understood the key, Tang San finally regained his confidence:
"You need to understand that an idea is always just an idea. Whether it can be realized is still unknown. I believe you have tried many methods, but you have never been able to solve the problem…
"That's only natural. Your poison is not only potent but also extremely stubborn. It has long been integrated with your body, becoming an inseparable part of it. Even if you try until the year of the monkey, you probably won't find a solution.
"If you forcibly use soul power to suppress it, it will only cause a stronger backlash.
"I'm not sure yet… I have about a 20 to 30 percent chance of solving your problem. The specific situation will have to wait until I've done some research. If there are suitable medicines, then the probability can be increased to 30 to 40 percent."
"Only thirty percent?" Dugu Bo frowned.
"Thirty percent is already not low. I'm afraid that in the entire continent, only I have a 30 percent chance of curing you." Tang San said proudly, deeply believing in the Tang Sect's poison techniques.
"Alright… but I have to test your poison-related skills first." Dugu Bo said with a sinister smile.
A mule or a horse, you have to take it for a ride to know. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare let Tang San treat him. After all, if Tang San was just talking big, it might worsen his condition.
Subsequently, after Dugu Bo poisoned Tang San, he took him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and told him that he could freely take the herbs in the canyon and use them as detoxification materials.
After seeing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the surrounding herbs, Tang San was like a mouse that had come to a rice jar. Even the resentment of being tortured, poisoned, and humiliated faded a lot, and only joy and excitement remained in his heart.
Outside the canyon, Amon, who had been poisoned, and three other Amons, whose personalities were judged by the Amons to be of inferior quality, gathered around a bonfire.
A cast iron pot hung over the bonfire, inside which stewed mushrooms, wild vegetables, and a pheasant.
Below the pot, several skewers were stuck in the ground, close to the bonfire. The rabbit meat on the skewers sizzled with oil, looking extremely delicious.
"That scream just now should be Tang San being captured by Dugu Bo." The poisoned A'mon said.
An Amon adjusted his monocle and asked, "What if Dugu Bo has already removed his own poison and doesn't need Tang San?"
His face carried a hint of worry, as if he was truly concerned about Tang San's safety.
The poisoned Amon chuckled and said, "Heh… then we can only say that he's unlucky. Whether it's for us or for Tang San, it's the same."
Another Amon held a skewer of grilled mushrooms. "This is the first butterfly effect we've caused that has affected the 'protagonist'. I hope the plot can still return to its original course."
The poisoned Amon stared at the direction of the valley. "It's not a big problem. As long as Dugu Bo still needs Tang San to detoxify him, in their discussions and exchanges on the way of using poison, they will be attracted by each other's knowledge, thus leading to the original result."
"Tsk, I really hope Dugu Bo just kills Tang San like that. It's better to kill that little brat sooner rather than later. Compared to him, I'd rather focus my energy on Qian Renxue… hmm, to steal her heart."
The last Amon bit into a wild fruit and stirred the pot with a soup spoon formed from soul power.
The personalities of Amon and Amon are different. Some are noble, some are despicable, some are lazy, some are diligent…
Some Amons inherit more of a certain aspect of human nature, show more desires, and are more easily influenced by emotions.
Of course, on the whole, this will not affect Amon's actions, because the sum of all Amon's wills will be equal to the original, undivided Amon's will. In addition, no matter which Amon, the underlying thinking logic will not change.
"I don't care what ideas you have, but please cooperate with my work during this time. If there is really any 'heart-stealing' plan, I will cast my vote for you when selecting the executor." The poisoned Amon promised.
"Then thank you very much."
This is an exchange of benefits between Amon and Amon.
...
In the office of the Education Committee of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
A man of medium build, slightly thin, looking forty or fifty years old, a plump beauty, and a burly man with a hooked nose and wide cheekbones, giving people a sense of cunning, were waiting anxiously.
These three were precisely Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender, who had discovered Tang San's disappearance, judged that it was related to Dugu Bo, and came to inquire about Dugu Bo's whereabouts.
Meng Shenji walked into the office. Seeing their anxious expressions, he asked with a slight sense of puzzlement: "The three of you, what exactly happened?"
Yu Xiaogang explained the whole story to him.
Meng Shenji frowned and told them all the information he knew about Dugu Bo, but politely refused their request for help.
Yu Xiaogang and the other two did not force him, because they also knew that under non-kinship conditions, no one would face a Titled Douluo for a stranger they had only met a few times.
They did not delay and immediately left Heaven Dou Royal Academy, heading towards Sunset Forest at the fastest speed.
