Chapter 97: The Captured Lone Genius
Dugu Yan's words immediately blurted out.
The gazes of the people around also converged on Su Yun.
After deliberating for a long time, they had forgotten that there was still a third option available to Su Yun.
Ning Fengzhi chuckled on the side and said, "Su Yun, young friend, please quickly share your method."
Ning Rongrong stood beside her father, blinking her eyes as she also hoped that he could come up with a good solution.
The first method was too cruel, and judging by the expressions of the elders around them, as well as the telepathic messages from the two Title Douluos, she understood that the second method was unlikely to work.
So, they could only wait to see what Su Yun's third method was.
Su Yun extended his hand, curling his fingers into a fist, leaving only one index finger.
He calmly spoke:
"Just need a soul bone, and of course, if it's an external soul bone, that would be even better."
"Through specific techniques and the use of drugs, temporarily halt the cultivation of soul power, and guide all the toxins in the body into the soul bone, naturally eliminating the toxins."
"However, this method requires a long time, and it's easy to miss some toxins, which may remain undetected in less noticeable areas. Of course, these toxins are minimal and shouldn't pose a threat to life."
Su Yun's third method was spoken, and the people around him lit up.
Forcing the toxins into the soul bone?
This was indeed a good method!
Everyone felt that their previous thoughts were too rigid, only thinking about how to detoxify.
But there's always a way out.
However, the problem now was, where to get the soul bone from?
In the original world of Douluo, soul bones were as rare as Title Douluos, extremely rare things.
Even in the top three sects with a long heritage like the Heaven Dou Empire's three sects, Haotian Sect, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, there were not many soul bones.
Not to mention the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a sect without soul bones.
Su Yun added, "There are also requirements for soul bones."
He looked at Dugu Yan and said, "If you want to continue cultivation, then the age of the soul bone must be long. The absorption of the soul bone is not limited by the level of the soul master's soul power."
"Therefore, the higher the age of the soul bone you absorb, the better. My suggestion is to go for a ten-thousand-year soul bone in one step."
"And it's best to choose a brand new soul bone that suits your martial soul and body."
Soul bone!
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, then dimmed again.
He did have a soul bone.
But his soul bone had been with him for many years, deeply permeated by his Blue Silver Emperor Poison.
If not for this reason, he would have wanted to dig out his soul bone for his granddaughter.
When Dugu Yan heard Su Yun mention the term "soul bone," the hope that had risen on her face plummeted once again.
Ning Fengzhi and the others heard the words "soul bone," but shook their heads slightly, indicating their inability to help.
"Sorry, Senior Dugu, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can't help you with soul bones."
Soul bones were such precious things.
Even for their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, wanting to acquire one would be as difficult as reaching the sky.
And if their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did have one, they probably wouldn't easily sell it to Dugu Bo.
A soul bone could greatly enhance a soul master's combat power, whether they were low-level soul masters or Title Douluos.
After hearing Su Yun's words up to this point, that was enough to indicate Dugu Yan's fate.
How precious soul bones were, especially ten-thousand-year soul bones, where could they find one in such a short time?
Even Yu Yuanzhen from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect shook his head after hearing Su Yun's words.
Now that Su Yun had said all this, it was enough to show Dugu Yan's situation.
Soul bones were so precious, let alone ten-thousand-year soul bones. Where could they find one in such a short time?
Even Yu Tianheng, seeing that even his grandfather couldn't help, couldn't help but tremble all over.
He dared not imagine the scene where the girl he liked would die before his eyes soon.
Feeling the overwhelmingly suppressed atmosphere at the scene, Su Yun only exchanged a glance with Dugu Bo before he stopped speaking. Taking Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, he left.
On the way back...
"Su Yun, you little guy, you're amazing. Just a few words and you've backed Dugu Bo into a corner."
"It seems like you might actually be able to tame that old cunning guy."
Yueguan and Guimei looked at each other with some joy.
That night, after returning to their room, Guimei and Yueguan had a chat about Su Yun's confrontation with Dugu Bo.
Yueguan immediately became interested.
And today, Dugu Bo was forced into a desperate situation by Su Yun's three methods.
For the sake of saving his granddaughter, there was only one option left for him, and that was to join the Spirit Hall.
Yueguan clicked her tongue in amazement.
A few years ago, Su Yun, whom she had brought back to the Spirit Hall like a little chick, had now grown into this appearance.
Perhaps in the future, Su Yun might actually inherit the will of the Pope and become the next Pope.
"Even if he doesn't join the Spirit Hall, I will still treat Dugu Yan."
Su Yun suddenly spoke up.
"Why?" asked Guimei.
"Because if I save his granddaughter, it will put me in a favorable position in front of him. Besides not wanting to see the young flower wither away."
Walking along the road, Su Yun calmly stated his reasons:
"Human relations are sometimes as thin as paper and sometimes as heavy as a mountain."
"I saved his granddaughter, which gives me a sense of righteousness in front of him. Since it benefits me, why not do it?"
Su Yun continued:
"And that night I also said, since he refused me, it won't be so easy for him to ask for my help next time."
"So this time, if he wants to save Dugu Yan, he only has two choices."
"One, find a ten-thousand-year soul bone and then find someone who can detoxify her granddaughter."
"Two, join the Spirit Hall, and I'll help."
"However, currently, as far as I know, I'm probably the only one who can safely detoxify Dugu Yan."
Su Yun paused and continued:
"In fact, Dugu Yan's poisoning was not part of my plan."
"If it weren't for Dugu Yan's poisoning, I wouldn't have had the confidence to recruit Dugu Bo in the short term. This was originally a long-term plan."
"But now, since Dugu Yan's toxin outbreak has occurred..."
Su Yun smiled faintly:
"For our Spirit Hall, Dugu Bo is already prey in our spider web."
After hearing Su Yun's words, both Guimei and Yueguan were shocked by the layout of this ten-year-old boy.
His mind was so meticulous, all for the purpose of subduing Dugu Bo.
Had he planned this all along?
No!
Guimei and Yueguan couldn't help but think back to the first meeting between Poison Douluo Dugu Bo and Su Yun when they had just arrived in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Perhaps Su Yun's plan had started from that moment!
Thinking about this, the two of them became even more frightened by the terrifying nature of the ten-year-old boy in front of them.
Not long after...
Su Yun returned to the room with Guimei and Yueguan.
And as soon as the three of them stepped into the room, a familiar figure appeared before them.
Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.
