Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

But he didn't feel fear. Perhaps he was too influenced by his past life. He had to change. He couldn't be timid and hesitant. He couldn't accomplish anything if he was timid and hesitant. Of course, the rebellion still had to be done secretly and not openly.

night.

Dugu Bo left the hotel alone and went to a teahouse in Wuhun City.

There's only one teahouse in Wuhun City, it's easy to find.

The teahouses in Wuhun City are a little different from those in other places, but not too different. They are antique and quiet, not crowded, and have a faint, refreshing fragrance.

Upon entering the teahouse, Tang Yuehua came to greet them.

"Senior Dugu, please follow me." After saying that, she turned and went upstairs, with Dugu Bo following closely behind.

We arrived at a private room on the second floor.

Tang Yuehua stopped.

"Senior, please."

Dugu Bo pushed open the door and went inside. As soon as he entered, he saw Di Hong sitting there, sipping tea.

He was no stranger to Di Hong, after all, Di Hong's performance this morning was quite impressive, easily crushing Gui Mei, and his long red hair was so distinctive that he was easy to recognize.

Di Hong changed his clothes to make himself look very elegant and energetic.

"It really was you." Dugu Bo's guess was confirmed; it was indeed Di Hong who wanted to see him.

Tang Yuehua left the room, closed the door behind her, and then went to the next room to wait.

Di Hong rose and bowed.

"Greetings, Senior Dugu. I apologize for the presumptuous invitation."

"Please." Di Hong gestured for Dugu Bo to sit down.

Dugu Bo sat down opposite Di Hong, remaining vigilant with a wary look in his eyes. He was no match for this young man.

"Speak, what do you want with me?"

Chapter 57 The Excited Dugu Bo

Dugu Bo spoke very directly, clearly indicating that he did not want to stay here any longer. If it weren't for Di Hong, he would have already left Wuhun City with his son.

"I have no other reason for inviting you here, senior. I have heard that your poisons are extremely powerful and that you have few rivals in this world. I am very interested in this and therefore have taken the liberty of inviting you."

At this point, Di Hong poured Dugu Bo a cup of tea.

Dugu Bo stared intently at Di Hong with his dark green eyes, his gaze fierce. He couldn't beat Di Hong, but that didn't mean he was afraid of him. If it really came down to a fight, he wasn't afraid at all. His body was covered in the Azure Scale Serpent King Poison, and no one in the entire world could cure it.

If there were a cure, he wouldn't have been poisoned by his own poison and would have prevented it from harming his descendants.

"Interested in poison, kid? Do you think I, Dugu Bo, am so easily fooled?"

Di Hong paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"What the senior said is right, but not entirely right."

"Personally, I have absolutely no interest in your poison, senior. It cannot harm me in any way."

"But the poison from our predecessors is very important to us."

"Us?" Dugu Bo frowned, not understanding what he meant.

"Stop beating around the bush, just say what you want to say. I hate it when people beat around the bush when they talk to me."

Seeing that Dugu Bo was getting impatient, Di Hong stopped hiding it.

"I hope you can join us and serve me. Of course, I won't let you work for nothing; there will be benefits for you."

"Bang!" Dugu Bo slammed his fist on the table and stood up in anger, his aura radiating outwards. His palm strike was so powerful that it shattered the tea table, splashing tea everywhere, but the tea was instantly evaporated when it got close to Di Hong.

Di Hong was not surprised by Dugu Bo's anger; he calmly took a sip of tea.

"Kid, you've got some nerve. You think you can get me to work for you? You must be dreaming!"

"Who do you think you are? Even if you are a genius, it has absolutely nothing to do with me."

Di Hong smiled slightly.

"I am naturally unworthy of your attention, senior. I will not hide it from you, I am the fourth prince of the Kingdom of Silves of the Heaven Dou Empire. Of course, you should know this, after all, my surname is Di."

"So what?" Dugu Bo snorted coldly, completely unconcerned about Di Hong's identity.

"Even if you are a prince, even if you are the emperor of the empire or the holy son of the Spirit Hall, I don't care. I am used to being free and unrestrained, and I will not serve any person or any force."

After saying that, he was leaving.

Just as he reached the door and was about to open it, Di Hong spoke slowly again.

"I can understand why my seniors don't like being constrained."

"But senior, don't you want to hear what I can do?"

"I don't want to." Dugu Bo rejected the idea without hesitation.

As soon as the door opened, Di Hong's voice reached my ears again.

"What if I could cure your poison?"

Dugu Bo, who had just stepped out of the door, froze on the spot after hearing these words. What had he come to Wuhun City for? Wasn't it to find someone who could cure him, or rather, his son, the poison, even though he knew that such a person could not exist on this continent?

But he came anyway, just to give it a try, and participated in the exchange meeting.

Unfortunately, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

The Spirit Hall's exchange meeting failed, and he couldn't find anyone who could cure the poison. But now, the boy behind him is telling him that he can cure the poison.

"Senior, please have a seat. I think we can continue our discussion now."

Having been put in his place, Dugu Bo put aside his pride and sat back down. At this moment, nothing was more important than detoxifying.

"Why should I trust you?"

"You understand poisons?"

"I don't understand." Di Hong shook his head honestly.

"Then why are you telling me all this?" Dugu Bo was almost furious. He felt insulted, and this boy was completely playing him for a fool.

Di Hong laughed and said, "Senior, please don't be angry. I really don't know anything about poisons. I haven't studied this kind of knowledge. Of course, I have studied herbal medicine for several years and have some understanding of some poisons."

"But my martial soul can detoxify you, senior, and of course, it can also detoxify your son."

"Your martial spirit?"

Dugu Bo looked at him curiously.

"My martial soul is called Vermilion Bird, a fire-attribute martial soul, and I am also a fire-attribute soul master."

"I'm sure you saw it too, senior. This morning when I was fighting with Senior Ghost, I burned his fire."

After speaking, Di Hong extended his index finger, and a cluster of flames swirled around the tip of his finger.

Dugu Bo remained silent as he stared at the ball of flame.

Di Hong continued, "My martial spirit fire is called the Li Fire. It is not only the nemesis of all darkness and evil spirits, but also the nemesis of all poisons."

"In other words, my flames can remove the poison from your body, senior."

"Of course, this comes at a price."

"What price?" Dugu Bo asked.

Di Hong said, "After the flames burn away the poison, your poison skills will also dissipate. In other words, you will have to start cultivating your proud poison skills again. During the cultivation, the poison will still invade your body, over and over again."

"This is a temporary solution, not a permanent one."

"Moreover, the senior has been poisoned for almost several decades, and the poisoning is deep-rooted. Trying to remove it will naturally cause some damage to the senior's body, which may affect the senior's future."

"However, I am absolutely confident that I can remove the toxins from your son's body without harming him, because he is still young. If he were to grow up in about ten years, the situation would be different."

"Moreover, removing him now will not have a significant impact on his future."

"Of course, the problems I mentioned above will still occur, which means the cycle will repeat itself."

Dugu Bo clenched his fists tightly. Even if it was just a temporary fix, it would be fine. But the problem was that he relied on his own poison. Without poison, he wouldn't be much stronger than an ordinary Soul Emperor. Others feared him because they feared his poison.

Without the poison, he would lose the threat to the outside world.

Once the toxins are burned away, the poisonous power dissipates, and if you try to cultivate it again, you will still be poisoned, which is a huge loss.

He is now forty-three years old. Decades of cultivation have not been easy. If he were to start all over again, he doesn't think he has the courage to do so.

If it were his own son, then it wouldn't matter, after all, he's only eight years old this year and has only been cultivating for two years. But what about the future? His soul power level can't stay stagnant forever; he'll improve sooner or later.

"Is this the only way?"

"Of course not. I have another way, which is better and can completely cure the problem of you and your son without affecting you."

"What method is it?" Dugu Bo stood up excitedly.

In other words, Di Hong is stronger than him. If Di Hong were weaker than him, he would have attacked directly. He is not a kind person. Di Hong dares to say that he is not afraid of Dugu Bo's attack. If they really fight, it would be easy for him to control Dugu Bo.
