------------------------------
However, the malicious glint in Dugu Bo's eyes was unmistakable. Even if he couldn't kill Tang San, couldn't he at least torment him a bit?
Being repeatedly told by his disciple that he was afraid of being beaten up by another Title Douluo was damaging to Dugu Bo's pride!
Now, if Dugu Bo didn't go all out, it would almost be embarrassing to call himself a Title Douluo. And even if Tang Hao came—so what?
The reputation of the Hao Tian Douluo was indeed great, but hadn't he been crushed by the Spirit Hall like a dead dog? If Tang Hao dared to come knocking, Dugu Bo could simply run to the Spirit Hall and cry for help!
He knew he couldn't defeat Tang Hao in a fight, but Dugu Bo was confident that with the speed of his martial soul's true form, Tang Hao wouldn't be able to catch him.
As for Tang Hao daring to retaliate against his family…
A cold smirk slowly spread across Dugu Bo's lips.
If things escalated to that point, Dugu Bo wouldn't hesitate to abandon all shame and show the Hao Tian Sect what it meant to face the Poison Douluo who dominated through toxins!
At this moment, Dugu Bo slowly raised a finger, and a foul-smelling venom began to seep from its tip. Though he hadn't truly attacked yet, the dizzying sensation of poisoning had already overwhelmed everyone except Ye Wen.
"Boy, this is your final move. Be sure to handle it well."
Tang San felt a chill run down his spine as he angrily shouted:
"Elder, what do you mean by this! Is this the kind of power a 40th-level soul master can unleash?"
Dugu Bo chuckled dismissively at Tang San's accusation. "What's worrying you? I'm not about to deceive a junior like you. I haven't even begun my attack yet. What's coming isn't this drop of venom—it's something else entirely."
Tang San's pupils contracted into pinpricks as he glanced at the faint green toxic mist swirling around him. He instantly understood!
Dugu Bo's three moves were as follows: the first was concentrated toxic soul power, the second was a scattered swarm of snake-like soul power, and the third wasn't the terrifying venom itself but the insidious, all-pervasive toxic gas it emitted.
"Boy, I'm sure you've already witnessed the first three soul skills of my granddaughter. Now, allow me to show you the fourth soul skill of the Dugu lineage—the Jade Phosphorus Green Poison.
But don't worry—I'm holding back. If I unleashed this venom fully, it could turn everyone here into a pool of rotting water. Right now, it's just poison at the Soul Ancestor level, so consider yourself lucky. But don't disappoint me by falling to such a simple green poison." Dugu Bo sneered menacingly.
Ye Wen was utterly speechless. After all his efforts to reason with Dugu Bo, how had this old man-child reverted to his mischievous ways? Was it because Dugu Yan's issues had been resolved, leaving him free to act recklessly?
Though Dugu Bo was acting like an old prankster, Ye Wen trusted that he wouldn't lose sight of reality and outright kill Tang San—otherwise, things would escalate into a huge mess.
Realizing the danger, Tang San immediately activated his Xuan Tian Gong technique, attempting to expel the toxins through his inner energy. This was a common approach among most soul masters on the Douluo Continent when dealing with poison.
With his advanced cultivation technique, Tang San managed to suppress the poison almost immediately.
The others, however, weren't as fortunate. The three Elders, relying on their deep cultivation, remained relatively unscathed, and the other teachers of Shrek Academy managed to hold on.
But Shrek's Seven Monsters and Yu Xiaogang collapsed after only a few moments, their faces turning green as they vomited intermittently.
Dugu Bo had gotten a bit carried away and failed to fully restrain his power, inadvertently affecting these young members of Shrek. Recalling that there were two other Title Douluos besides Tang Hao, a more level-headed Dugu Bo decided not to make things worse for Shrek's Seven Monsters and Yu Xiaogang. With a wave of his hand, he fed them antidote pills, neutralizing the poison in their bodies.
However, looking at Yu Xiaogang, who was clearly much older than Shrek's Seven Monsters yet still ended up in such a sorry state, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with mockery.
Ye Wen had praised them earlier, but it seemed Shrek still had some useless fillers among their ranks.
Yu Xiaogang shook his head groggily, regaining his senses. Seeing Tang San struggling desperately to neutralize the poison with his Xuan Tian Gong, but still unable to completely halt its spread, Yu Xiaogang's eyes filled with intense anxiety.
Realizing he was powerless to help, Yu Xiaogang turned his fury toward Dugu Bo. Before anyone could react, he rushed forward and growled low:
"Dugu Bo! Cure Xiao San immediately, or you'll regret tangling with his father!"
In this moment, Yu Xiaogang perfectly embodied the phrase "a fox borrowing the tiger's might."
But Yu Xiaogang forgot one crucial detail—Dugu Bo wasn't his ex-girlfriend Bi Bi Dong or his cousin Liu Er Long's friend Flender, who would tolerate his arrogance.
A flicker of displeasure crossed Dugu Bo's eyes, and with a surge of soul power, Yu Xiaogang was sent flying.
"Know your place, trash!
I don't know who gave you the guts to yell at a Title Douluo. If I weren't in a good mood today, I'd have killed you on the spot."
Though Dugu Bo couldn't recall exactly who Yu Xiaogang was, considering the forces backing Shrek, he had held back during the attack. Otherwise, Yu Xiaogang would have been killed instantly.
Yu Xiaogang struggled to his feet, coughing up blood. His frail body, weakened by consecutive poisonings, barely clung to life. Still, this blow gave him an idea to make Dugu Bo back off from harming Tang San.
Since he couldn't directly mention Tang Hao's name, he had another way to make Dugu Bo hesitate.
"Poison Douluo, take a look at this!"
With that, Yu Xiaogang pulled out a token from his robes.
Unlike the third-tier token he had shown Tang San during their first trip to the Spirit Beast Forest—bearing the symbols of Sword, Hammer, Blue Lightning, and Tyrant Dragon—this token bore six intricate designs. It was the highest-ranking Elder Token issued by the Spirit Hall, second only to the Pope's Token.
Such tokens were possessed only by the Spirit Hall's Elders, the top three sects, and the emperors of the two empires.
"Poison Douluo, surely you know what this token represents!
Behind Xiao San stands a Title Douluo. If you dare to harm him today, I guarantee the Title Douluo behind this token will wipe out your entire family! Don't believe me? Go ahead and try!" Yu Xiaogang raved, his voice growing more frantic as Tang San grew weaker.
Yu Xiaogang had waited over twenty years for a disciple like this. If he didn't go all out today, he'd never get another chance to prove himself!
Watching Yu Xiaogang descend into madness, the three Elders tried to step forward and intervene.
But Dugu Bo once again unleashed a surge of soul power, sending Yu Xiaogang flying once more.
