Disaster struck!
After his inner thoughts were exposed to the entire livestream audience, Yu Xiaogang crouched down in the Power Clan's residence, clutching his head in agony.
From this moment on, his reputation was utterly destroyed, in front of everyone watching across the Douluo Continent.
Even in a world as ancient as Douluo, incestuous relationships were considered a grave sin.
On the Douluo Continent, marrying cousins was acceptable. But Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong weren't just cousins—they shared the same grandfather, making their relationship far too close. Their previous involvement was tantamount to incest.
It was precisely because of this that Yu Luomian, their uncle, stormed into their wedding ceremony years ago and tore them apart. Yu Xiaogang had then spent the next twenty years avoiding Liu Erlong, solely because of their relationship.
Otherwise, he would have been with her a long time ago.
Growing up being mocked as a useless soul master, Yu Xiaogang was deeply prideful.
Now, with the truth of his near-marriage to his cousin Liu Erlong being exposed in front of the entire Douluo Continent, and with their twisted relationship still unresolved, Yu Xiaogang felt his social death had arrived.
But while Yu Xiaogang was tormented by this revelation, Liu Erlong, in Blue Tyrant Academy, was unfazed—she was even overjoyed.
Her feelings had been broadcast for all to see, and compared to Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong was the one who truly loved Yu Xiaogang the most!
"Who would've thought our teacher had such a history?"
Back at the Strength Clan's residence, Tang San and the others exchanged awkward glances after learning about Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong's relationship.
However, since the livestream clarified that nothing had happened between them and that the relationship was a product of ignorance, it didn't provoke too much disgust.
Still, the event gave the entire Douluo Continent plenty to gossip about.
After all, while Yu Xiaogang might be considered a waste, he was still the man Bibi Dong, the current Supreme Pope of the Spirit Hall, had fallen in love with. Not to mention, he was also the heir to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the continent's three top sects.
His status was anything but ordinary!
Yet because of today's scandal, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reputation was thoroughly tarnished, leaving Yu Yuanzhen, their patriarch, fuming.
And the live stream went on.
After the revelation of Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong's relationship, Liu Erlong, spotting Yu Xiaogang, burst into tears of joy.
Upon learning that Yu Xiaogang and Flender had suffered humiliation at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Liu Erlong was furious and vowed to support them through thick and thin.
In the end, she even insisted on giving Blue Tyrant Academy to Flender!
Of course, Flender initially refused.
But, unable to win against Liu Erlong's stubbornness, Flender eventually accepted her offer.
After that, Liu Erlong took the Shrek team to a restaurant in Heaven Dou City to celebrate.
It was already night when they returned.
Alone, Tang San wandered through the back mountains of Blue Tyrant Academy.
Suddenly, a figure clad in green armor appeared behind him.
"Dugu Bo?!"
Seeing Dugu Bo tailing Tang San, the livestream audience was stunned and confused.
But remembering how Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, had shown up at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and had a brief conversation with her grandfather while pointing at Tang San, it seemed clear something was going on.
The livestream showed Dugu Bo releasing a cloud of poison, knocking Tang San unconscious.
He then hoisted Tang San over his shoulder and soared into the sky, quickly leaving Blue Tyrant Academy's rear mountain and heading outside of Heaven Dou City.
As Dugu Bo in the real world watched the direction his livestream counterpart was flying in, his face darkened.
"No way… Is 'he' really taking this kid to my medicine garden? That can't happen!"
"If that place gets exposed, how will I keep it safe?!"
Thankfully, the livestream seemed to grant Lin Yu some leniency.
Just as Dugu Bo flew outside Heaven Dou City, the camera shifted to a dimly lit cave.
There, Tang San awoke.
Dugu Bo questioned him about how he managed to cure Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison. With disdain, Tang San explained the reason, even going so far as to call Dugu Bo's poison "garbage."
This enraged Dugu Bo, who immediately struck Tang San with a wave of soul power, sending him crashing into the cave wall.
But even after the impact, Tang San remained defiant, sneering as he reiterated that Dugu Bo's poison was trash.
Through their exchange, Tang San pointed out that Dugu Bo was on the brink of death, slowly being poisoned by his own Jade Phosphor Poison, which had already spread too deep into his body to be cured.
Dugu Bo's expression shifted, and he reluctantly admitted the truth.
The livestream audience, including many nobles and soul masters, was left in disbelief.
The infamous Poison Douluo, known for his mastery of venom, was poisoned by his toxin. Was this some kind of joke?
But the truth was undeniable.
Many powerful factions, especially those near Heaven Dou City, like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, Nine Hearts Begonia Clan, and the Heaven Dou Royal Family, had long known about this.
The Jade Phosphor Clan was both blessed and cursed by their poison.
The poison had made them powerful, but it had also doomed them. Everyone in the Jade Phosphor Clan knew the nickname soul masters had given to their poison.
Because of the Jade Phosphor Poison, the clan had always been thinly populated, and no one in their family had ever lived past fifty.
Dugu Bo, having reached his seventies or eighties and even attained the rank of titled Douluo, was the first to do so!
However, based on the livestream's revelations, even a titled Douluo like Dugu Bo couldn't escape the poison. It seemed his death was inevitable, and not far off.
For a titled Douluo, who usually lived well beyond a hundred years, Dugu Bo was still considered short-lived.
In the live stream, after Tang San pointed out the symptoms of the poison, Dugu Bo became wary of him.
Finally, Tang San declared that he could cure the Jade Phosphor Clan's poison.
Having no other choice, Dugu Bo, though skeptical, decided to test Tang San's claim first by setting up a trial for him.
He then led Tang San away from the cave and toward his medicine garden.
Little did Tang San know, upon arriving at the garden, he would be in for a shock!
Dugu Bo's medicine garden turned out to be none other than the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which had already appeared in the live stream. Surrounding it were countless rare, magical herbs—clearly of the immortal variety.
This revelation sparked greed in the hearts of many powerful factions.
Back in his residence, Dugu Bo could only sigh.
"Sigh! It's been exposed. I can already imagine the swarm of visitors I'll be receiving after this stream ends!"
"Though I've already offered the garden to the young lord, who knows what his plans will be…"
