Chapter 225 Poison Testing
"Teacher, please don't make jokes like that, okay? It's not funny at all." Qian Renxue was speechless, her fair face filled with unhappiness.
Su Yu smiled, but his tone was extremely serious. "Do you think a teacher would joke like this with you?"
"Yes!"
Qian Renxue nodded without hesitation, effectively shutting down Su Yu's words!
However, she made a decision in her heart: she must stay away from Xiao Wu from now on!
…
"Puff!"
Inside the Heaven Dou Academy, on a grassy area, Zhu Zhuqing sat cross-legged, with wisps of green gas emanating from her body. Her body trembled slightly, and her expression was contorted, as if she were enduring immense pain.
Beside her, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan watched quietly. Ye Lingling would occasionally exchange a few words with Dugu Yan, a hint of inexplicable excitement on her face.
It was as if the pain she had suffered back then was now being experienced by someone else in the same way, bringing her the same kind of happiness.
After a while, a mouthful of green blood spurted from Zhu Zhuqing's mouth and fell to the ground. The area where the blood stained the ground immediately turned from lush and green to barren. The once emerald green Blue Silver Grass turned yellow and withered in the blink of an eye.
However, after spitting out the poisonous blood, Zhu Zhuqing's previous strange behavior completely disappeared, and her painful expression turned into a look of enjoyment as if she had finally gotten over the bitterness. She groaned comfortably, which made Ye Lingling blush.
Dugu Yan didn't show any reaction; she simply nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, you adapted faster than Lingling. It took Lingling more than twice as long to adapt to my poison, and it tormented her for a long time."
"She's a battle spirit master, and I'm a support-type spirit master. It's normal for her to take a little longer!" Ye Lingling's expression changed. As a support-type spirit master, she was already physically weak, so what was wrong with taking a little longer?
Dugu Yan glanced at her but said nothing.
Support-type characters were not as good as battle-type characters, but they were not that far behind.
Zhu Zhuqing stood up, a glint of excitement in her eyes. "After spitting out the poisonous blood, I felt my soul power increase a little, roughly equivalent to the amount I cultivated in the previous two days!"
"Two days is alright."
Dugu Yan reached out and touched Zhu Zhuqing's body. She said, "Just as I guessed, you will be like Lingling, with poison entering your body once a day, if you can endure it."
Although Zhu Zhuqing adapted to the poison, it only meant that the poison wouldn't cause her much harm, not that it wouldn't cause her any pain.
Once or twice was fine, but persisting day after day until the Soul Master Competition was really tough!
"I can hold on!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded seriously, her face full of determination!
One instance of inhaling poison gas to aid cultivation was equivalent to two days of solo cultivation! This was an incredibly tempting prospect for Zhu Zhuqing, who craved power!
No wonder Dugu Yan said those things to her back then!
"As long as you can hold on, that's good."
Dugu Yan glanced at Ye Lingling. "Give her some treatment, just in case there are any hidden dangers."
This kind of training would not cause too much damage, but some minor, inconspicuous injuries might still remain.
If it was a short period, it was manageable, as the body and soul could heal themselves. But if it was a long period, with the accumulation of stress over time, it was hard to guarantee that no accidents would occur.
However, with the Nine Heart Begonia present, these worries could completely disappear.
"Sigh, to expect a Soul Sect like me to heal the poison wounds of a Soul Emperor, they really think too highly of me!"
Sighing, Ye Lingling summoned the Nine Heart Begonia and cast her fourth soul skill on Zhu Zhuqing.
However, just as Ye Lingling was healing Zhu Zhuqing, a voice reached Dugu Yan's ears.
Upon hearing this voice, Dugu Yan frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed again.
She looked at Ye Lingling and said, "I have something to do, I'll be going now."
After saying that, without waiting for the two to react, Dugu Yan turned and left.
…
Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
"You've come to ask about Xiao Wu?" Qian Renxue asked calmly.
"Yes, I wanted to ask if something happened to Xiao Wu?"
Dugu Yan was puzzled. She had just joined the Heaven Dou team, so how did things suddenly turn out like this?
If it were just a matter of not coming to training, she wouldn't care. She was already a Soul Sage, why bother with training?
What puzzled her was that Xiao Wu not only didn't come to training, but she also disappeared altogether.
She wondered to herself if Xiao Wu hadn't fully resurrected yet. After all, Xiao Wu's resurrection back then had been far too hasty.
She survived after taking the pills for just three days.
"No."
Qian Renxue said calmly, "It's just that Xiao Wu will be staying at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes from now on. If you want to see her, you can go there."
"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes? I understand."
Dugu Yan nodded, a little curious about what Xiao Wu was doing there.
After speaking to Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan withdrew.
"Why don't you just tell her the reason directly? Why do you have to beat around the bush?"
Su Yu looked at Qian Renxue and clicked his tongue. "I really don't know what you're thinking right now?"
Qian Renxue looked at her teacher and smiled gently. "Teacher, do you really not know?"
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you about this."
"Teacher, when do you think the Shura God will descend?"
"You want him to come down early?"
Su Yu smiled and said, "He's currently doing something 'big'!"
"Something big?" Qian Renxue asked curiously. "What's so big?"
"Since it involves you, it's a good thing for you."
"A good thing?" Qian Renxue was taken aback. The big thing that Shura did could hardly be considered a good thing to her, right?
Su Yu glanced at the God Realm, then at Qian Renxue. "Hm, good thing! I hope he does it perfectly."
What is he doing?
Qian Renxue's curiosity was piqued; what exactly could be considered a good thing?
"Just wait! You'll find out in time."
Su Yu said calmly, "Logically speaking, Shura should have come down earlier, but we have to make two preparations."
If he tries to steal a chicken but ends up losing the rice instead, he'll be thrilled!
…
The God Realm.
"Um?"
Darkness sensed something was wrong, as if something was missing. He scratched his head. What went out?
Never mind, it shouldn't be a big deal.
…
The Ice and Fire Eyes.
"Is this your mother?"
Upon seeing the bright red 100,000-year soul ring, Dugu Yan finally understood why Xiao Wu hadn't come; she was with her mother.
"Um."
Xiao Wu nodded, her gaze gently fixed on her mother's spirit ring. "Lady Qian Renxue said that Mom will be able to be resurrected in at most one year."
"Lady Qian Renxue…"
Dugu Yan found the form of address rather strange. "I didn't expect this to happen either. Maybe you shouldn't participate in the Soul Master Competition?"
Dugu Yan was a little embarrassed. She didn't know that Xiao Wu was going to help her mother resurrect. If she had known, she would never have brought Xiao Wu into the team, especially after hearing about Xiao Wu's background.
Regardless of which was more important, she still had to invite her. With her there, it didn't really matter whether Xiao Wu was in the team or not, since they could still win the championship anyway.
It was just that the team of two Soul Sages made Dugu Yan feel like she was showing off her divine power in front of others!
"No need, I promised you. It won't take long anyway, right?" Xiao Wu smiled.
"I'm glad I didn't bother you. Would you like me to send you some things these next few days?"
"Lady Qian Renxue said she would send someone to deliver it."
"All right."
