Can the poison from a martial soul affect the body?
Will one be poisoned with higher soul power?
Back in the dormitory, Dugu Yan pondered over Tang San's theory. She found it somewhat far-fetched, yet his reasoning seemed solid, leaving her somewhat uncertain.
Thus, Dugu Yan returned to the estate bought by Dugu Bo in Tian Dou City and told Dugu Bo, who had just returned to Tian Dou City, about what Tang San had informed her regarding the poison of martial souls and the existence of the Serpent Jade Grass.
"Tang San? The martial soul theory master? In your class? Only twelve years old?" Dugu Bo's expression turned extremely surprised after hearing this. He hadn't expected Tang San to have knowledge about the poison of martial souls.
Although Yan Yan said that Tang San didn't understand poison, only judging the harm of the martial soul's poison to soul masters based on a book called 'Poison King's Legend', Dugu Bo knew that the poison of martial souls was real. He himself had been poisoned. If he hadn't found a place to suppress the toxin, he wouldn't have become a Titled Douluo, let alone breakthrough to a Soul Douluo.
But now, someone informed him through Yan Yan that by wasting one soul ring position to acquire a soul skill to condense poison pearls, they could resolve the ancestral poison of his family.
Wasn't this ridiculous?
Wasn't this implying that his ancestors had been walking in the wrong direction for generations?
However, if Tang San was indeed a master of martial soul theory, could what he said be true?
Uncertain, Dugu Bo began to search for information and looked up the detailed content of the Serpent Jade Grass, a plant-type soul beast. He didn't find any cases of snake-type soul masters absorbing its soul rings, but this soul beast indeed possessed the ability to absorb and condense snake venom. If this ability could really be inherited by Dugu Yan, it might indeed prevent his granddaughter from dying from the poison of martial souls in the future.
"Grandpa, do you think there's a problem?" Dugu Yan asked somewhat nervously.
"In theory, there's no problem." After thinking for a while, Dugu Bo decided to tell her about the shortcomings of the Jade Phosphorus snake, "I was indeed poisoned. If it weren't for the suppression of Titled Douluo-level soul power, I might have fallen long ago. Your father couldn't suppress the toxin and died as a result, and your mother was affected by your father's poison."
Learning the truth about her parents' deaths, Dugu Yan was horrified, "The poison of the Jade Phosphorus snake can harm oneself? Then, Grandpa, you won't..."
"Don't worry." Dugu Bo felt somewhat relieved, "I'm already a Titled Douluo, and the toxin is no longer affecting me."
This contradicted what he had said earlier, obviously a lie Dugu Bo told to reassure Dugu Yan. However, Dugu Yan believed it and asked, "So, should my fourth soul ring absorb the soul ring produced by the Serpent Jade Grass?"
"Not so fast." Dugu Bo shook his head, "You're still a year or two away from reaching level forty in cultivation. I need to go talk to Tang San... But, aren't you leaving tomorrow to visit the Star Luo Empire for exchanges? We'll talk about it when you return from the exchange."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Persuaded by Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan calmed down. However, she had even more faith in Tang San, after all, he could instantly see the harm of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's venom, and even her grandfather said his solution was theoretically feasible.
Perhaps the theory Tang San proposed hadn't been proven, but Dugu Yan felt she could give it a try.
Life was always more important than a soul skill.
The next day.
Outside the Tian Dou Royal Academy, three members of the teaching committee reminded Qin Ming to be safe on the road.
"Please rest assured, the honor of the Tian Dou Royal Academy will not be diminished during this trip." Qin Ming stood with one hand across his chest, bowing to the three members of the teaching committee, then led the team of the Royal Academy onto the carriage.
The royal carriage was different from ordinary carriages, exceptionally smooth even when traveling on bumpy roads, and there was barely any vibration inside the carriage.
"The royal carriage was customized from the Strength Clan, their forging skills are excellent, second only to the Tower in the Gengxin City of the Star Luo Empire. Their clan leader, Titan, is also a master craftsman." Qin Ming introduced the manufacturer of the Royal Carriage of the Tian Dou Royal Academy and the situation of Titan to Tang San and the others.
The journey was quite boring, and Qin Ming was trying to find topics to make the journey less tedious.
"Speaking of Titan, that guy was once beaten up by my Bone Grandfather." Ning Rongrong killed the conversation as soon as she spoke, leaving Qin Ming unsure of how to continue.
"Why did he beat him up?" Xiao Wu became interested, "I heard Brother San say that the Strength Clan and the Agility Clan are allied. The Agility Clan has now joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The relationship between the Strength Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School shouldn't be that bad, right?"
At this moment, Bai Chenxiang, a member of the Agility Clan in the carriage, looked slightly embarrassed and said, "Um, actually, our four clans were originally affiliated with the Haotian Sect. However, after the Haotian Sect closed its doors, it abandoned our four clans, and we lived a very miserable life... Until the master's theory was published, our Agility Clan gained attention from the major forces on the continent."
"Originally, my grandfather, the head of the Agility Clan, hoped that the Haotian Sect would reconsider accepting them, or at least send someone over, but unfortunately, not even a ghostly figure appeared."
"Therefore, my grandfather chose to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School... Who would have known that the head of the Strength Clan was extremely loyal to the Haotian Sect's Haotian Douluo. He went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to hold my grandfather accountable and even cursed him out. In the end, he was reprimanded by the senior Bone Douluo."
Huo Wu said, "I've heard of the Strength Clan before. Our Huo Family also knows about it. Its disciples are very fond of the Haotian Sect, especially Titan, who is quite loyal."
Any force appreciates loyal individuals, but once that loyalty is directed elsewhere, it becomes very uncomfortable.
"Ahem!" Qin Ming coughed, reminding, "After all, Titan is a Soul Douluo. Let's refrain from making judgments. Respect should be maintained for strong individuals."
Instantly, the voices in the carriage quieted down.
Tang San closed his eyes to rest, cultivating his soul power, while Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, and others sat cross-legged, also cultivating their soul power.
Seeing this, Huo Wu, Yu Tianheng, and the others also began to meditate.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed hurriedly, and the carriage arrived at Soto City.
Because the horses pulling the carriage were top-notch Dragon Scale Horses, one of the very few hundred-year soul beasts that could be tamed by humans, the speed of the journey was much faster than when Tang San, Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, and others had originally traveled to Tian Dou City.
"This is Soto City. The teacher graduated from an obscure academy in this small place." Qin Ming revealed a hint of nostalgia, his tone filled with deep emotion, "I wonder how Headmaster Flender has been lately. I hope he's still in good health."
"Teacher Qin Ming, shall we go to that Shrek Academy?"
During the journey, Qin Ming had talked about a lot of things related to Shrek Academy, arousing some interest among the members of the Royal Academy's team, who had never heard of this academy before.
A school that only accepts monsters, who wouldn't be interested?
After all, they were all geniuses among geniuses. Were there students in Shrek Academy even more monstrous than them?
It's worth checking out.
