Douluo Continent: A Review of Bibi Dong, the Worst Pope in History

Chapter 35 The Antidote; the Beast Tang San Loots All the Immortal Herbs

As time passed, I grew closer to becoming a Title Douluo, and my child reached the age to venture across the continent on his own.

[Father and son were separated, and we rarely saw each other. In order to pursue the title of Title Douluo, I devoted almost all my time to cultivation.]

My son, on the other hand, has also achieved considerable success in mainland China. Unlike me, he is not a loner; he not only has his own friends but has also found love.

When we met again, I learned that I had a granddaughter named Dugu Yan, a bright and clever child.

Unfortunately, her mother also died in childbirth.

However, I will not let this happen again. I am determined to find an antidote, and I must break through to the Title Douluo level.

At seventy years old, my soul power cultivation has reached level 89, just one step away from becoming a Title Douluo.

I had been waiting for the opportunity to break through, but an unexpected event occurred before the breakthrough. My son suffered a backlash from the poison, and I wanted to save him, but just then, I sensed the breakthrough.

I never imagined fate would play such a cruel trick on me; when my family needed me most, I was unable to leave.

Finally, I completed my advancement and successfully entered the ranks of Title Douluo, reaching the pinnacle of poison.

I have achieved the goal I have always pursued, yet I feel no joy, for my son is dead.

I lost my father in childhood, my wife in middle age, and my son in old age. Now I only have Dugu Yan as my family, and I swear I will not let anyone hurt her.

"I never imagined that Dugu Bo's life was so tragic."

"No wonder he is withdrawn and unpredictable."

Emperor Xueye sighed deeply and remarked with emotion.

Dugu Bo is currently a guest minister of the Heaven Dou Empire.

He expressed his sympathy for this!
However, Dugu Bo's reputation as the greatest victim of injustice certainly stems from more than just these tragic experiences.

Emperor Xueye had a premonition that the following video would likely worsen Dugu Bo's already wounded heart.

News of my breakthrough to Title Douluo spread like wildfire, and the Spirit Hall quickly approached me, extending an invitation to recruit me.

I have always been free-spirited and have never liked being constrained by others, so I refused the Spirit Hall's offer without hesitation.

I never imagined that my refusal would lead to my death.

[Bibi Dong dispatched Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo to hunt me down. Soul Masters who refuse to submit to her, even Title Douluo, face certain death.]

I was once driven to the brink of death, but fortunately Prince Xuexing appeared in time to save me. Since then, I have stayed in Tiandou City to repay the royal family for saving my life.

Later, I met a young man named Tang San, who claimed to have a way to completely eliminate the threat posed by the Jade Scale Serpent King's poison.

[By forcing all the toxins in the body into a single soul bone for storage, the toxins can be prevented from spreading within the soul master's body and causing a backlash.]

As the Poison Douluo, while I don't entirely believe it, I know in my heart that it is indeed a feasible method.

After trying it, I found that Tang San's method was indeed effective.

[As long as all the Azure Serpent King's venom is forced into the soul bone, the soul master's power will not only remain unaffected, but the worry of backlash will also be completely eliminated.]

I expressed my gratitude to Tang San. His method relieved the pain of suppressing the poison, and also freed Dugu Yan from her constant fear.

This is a major discovery that will change the fate of the Azure Serpent King.

Tang San and I became close friends despite our age difference. I affectionately called him "Little Monster" to express my friendship. We talked about everything and confided in each other.

"what!"

"Tang San and I are actually close friends despite our age difference!"

Dugu Bo stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

He himself could hardly imagine that one day he would be able to talk about anything with someone and become a close friend. Through the previous comments videos from other people, Dugu Bo had already sensed that Tang San was not a good person.

I hope to become friends with this person in the future.

I'm afraid it's not a good thing!
However, Dugu Bo was very happy to have obtained a solution to the poison of the Azure Scale Serpent King from the information revealed by Tianmu.

"Yanyan, the poison in your body will no longer be a threat."

Dugu Bo laughed excitedly.

He had just tried transferring a trace of the Azure Scale Serpent King's poison into his soul bone, and it was indeed feasible.

Next, all that is needed is to find a suitable soul bone for Dugu Yan, and then have her transfer all the toxins into the soul bone during her daily cultivation. The problem that has plagued their family for so long will then be completely solved.

Dugu Yan was also very happy.

"That's great, Grandpa!"

"Our family's curse has been broken!"

In Dugu Yan's view, the Azure Scale Serpent King's Poison is both a power and a curse.

They possessed this immense power, but they were also cursed by it.

"Dugu Bo is really a capricious old monster; how could he become friends with Tang San?"

"It seems this guy will also be an enemy of the Spirit Hall in the future, so we must nip him in the bud."

A cold killing intent flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes as he murmured.

He showed no mercy to anyone who had any connection with Tang San.

This concerns the foundation of the Spirit Hall; it's better to kill the innocent than to let any dangerous element go unpunished.

Qian Daoliu was willing to bear all the infamy.

He would never allow the Spirit Hall's millennia-old foundation to be squandered in vain.

[While Tang San was curing my poison, he took a liking to the herbs in my back garden. This was a blessed land I discovered by chance; the entire valley was filled with many medicinal herbs with miraculous effects, and the spring water there possessed a fusion of both scorching and freezing forces.]

At first, I didn't know the name of this blessed land. It wasn't until later, when Tang San told me that it was called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and that it had the effect of accelerating plant growth tenfold.

Tang San wanted to take some herbs, and I didn't stop him. I'm not a stingy person; the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has many plants and herbs, so I generously told him he could take whichever he wanted.

[I never imagined that Tang San would pack up all the plants from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well before leaving, leaving behind only some roots that could only bloom again after ten thousand years.]

Years later, I learned that the plants Tang San took from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were all miraculous herbs with extraordinary effects.

These magical herbs were given by Tang San to the Shrek Seven Devils, which enhanced their talents, allowed them to inherit divine power, and ascend to the realm of gods.

Among these magical herbs are the Qiluo Tulip, which allows the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and the Acacia Heartbreak Red, known as the King of Flowers, capable of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bone...

I had assumed that, given my relationship with Tang San, he would take care of my only granddaughter, Dugu Yan, and perhaps give her a piece of immortal herb.

However, things didn't go as planned. Tang San even distributed immortal herbs to Yu Xiaogang, that good-for-nothing, but left not a single one for Dugu Yan.

I felt a pang of sadness. I considered Tang San a brother, allowing him to freely take the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, yet he refused to leave even a single one for my descendants.

In the latter part of my life, when I think back on this incident, I often feel a pang of sadness, as if my sincerity has been betrayed.

Perhaps in their eyes, our relationship isn't as wonderful as I imagined.

My supposed friendship with someone much older than me was nothing but wishful thinking!
