"Ring explosion?"
Dugu Bo's eyes were icy, and he solemnly reiterated, "I do not wish to become someone else's pawn, and I have not poisoned you today."
The implication was that Dugu Bo was reminding Tuoba Yan that he was not threatened and disliked being threatened.
It was precisely because he hated threats that he did not obey Ning Fengzhi's wishes to kill Tuoba Yan.
Tuoba Yan smiled and said, "I didn't force you. You are free to do whatever you want. You're not stupid, and I'm not stupid either, am I?"
Dugu Bo stared silently at Tuoba Yan.
He could tell that Tuoba Yan was very ambitious.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is one of the three upper clans, and its members are full of experts.
Although Dugu Bo was not a Soul Master of the Spirit Hall, he knew about the factions within the Spirit Hall.
The Spirit Hall is mainly composed of the Qian Family.
The Tuoba family and several other major families were all vassal families of the Qian family.
For their own benefit, the various families maintained a balance of power among themselves.
In short, the true power behind the Spirit Hall lies with the Qian family.
The Tuoba family's desire to elevate their status significantly would inevitably threaten the Qian family's position within the Spirit Hall.
Therefore, the Tuoba family could not change the status quo and could only be suppressed by the Qian family.
Unless the Tuoba family strengthens its own power.
Qian Daoliu isn't stupid; he's just cowardly. He's actually quite intelligent.
The Tuoba family and several other vassal families of the Qian family want to grow stronger, but Qian Daoliu will absolutely not allow that to happen.
It seems that before the affiliated families could even grow strong enough, they would be severely suppressed by the Qian family.
They might even lose their existing glory and status.
what to do?
The only solution is to incorporate external forces.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is one of the three upper clans. If the Qian family were to incorporate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they would suffer enormous losses even if the Qian family wanted to suppress the Tuoba family. In the worst-case scenario, the Tuoba family could also establish their own independent entity.
Dugu Bo has been in Tiandou City for some time now.
He was shocked to discover the immense ambition hidden within the unassuming and underage Tuoba Yan.
Tuoba Yan continued, "If he becomes my subordinate, I will wholeheartedly help him. Old Poison, with no ties between us, what obligation do I have to help a stranger ascend to the throne of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader?"
Dugu Bo remained silent.
He did not want to respond to Tuoba Yan on behalf of Yu Tianheng.
Tuoba Yan was clever, and Dugu Bo was no fool either.
Tuoba Yan continued, "Old Poison Master, let me tell you a secret!"
"Are you willing to share secrets with me?" Dugu Bo became wary.
He felt that his relationship with Tuoba Yan was far from being at the point where they could share their secrets with each other.
As Tuoba Yan said, without any ties, why would the other party share secrets with you?
Tuoba Yan saw through Dugu Bo's thoughts and smiled, "Don't look at me with hostility. I have a strong feeling that we will become friends!"
"Is that so?"
Dugu Bo disagreed with this.
Out of consideration for his granddaughter and younger generation, he forgave Tuoba Yan for "stealing" the herbs from his medicinal garden.
He was a guest minister of the Tiandou Empire and it was impossible for him to join the Spirit Hall.
Dugu Bo did not want to become Tuoba Yan's enemy, but he also had no intention of becoming his friend.
Tuoba Yan asked, "Dugu Bo, do you know about gods?"
"god?"
"When a Soul Master breaks through level 100, they become a god, surpassing all others. A god's wrath can cause millions to fall. Douluo Continent is not my stage; my stage is the God Realm after reaching level 100. The God Realm is inhabited by countless gods. Perhaps we don't get along in the mortal realm, but in the God Realm, we're practically neighbors! It's very difficult to gain a voice in the God Realm. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Dugu Bo nodded, even more shocked than before.
It turns out that Tuoba Yan's ambition was even greater than he had imagined.
Tuoba Yan's aim is not to seize Douluo Continent, but to conquer the God Realm.
Tuoba Yan added, "Whether what I said is right or wrong, you can send someone to check afterwards."
Dugu Bo stared at Tuoba Yan.
After a long while, Dugu Bo turned around and said, "I will not make decisions for Yu Tianheng. I will convey your message to him."
"Alright, since you've come all this way, I'll bring you a gift."
"Is that so?"
Dugu Bo's tone was one of surprise.
He and Tuoba Yan did not have a good relationship, yet Tuoba Yan was willing to give him a gift!
Tuoba Yan said, "Actually, there is a way to alleviate the symptoms of the poison in your body. After all, poison is not suitable for the human body. You can store the poison in your head's soul bone. When you need to use it, you can simply draw it out."
"Of course, this method can only alleviate your symptoms. To eradicate it completely, you would need to travel across the continent and sense the divine thoughts left behind by the poison-attribute deities in the divine realm."
"Remember, when you drive the poison into your soul bone, you must avoid your internal organs."
"Take it!"
As he spoke, Tuoba Yan waved his hand, and a stream of light flowed as he generously tossed a jade bottle to Dugu Bo.
The soul power carried the jade bottle, which floated precisely to Dugu Bo's front.
Dugu Bo opened the bottle cap, and a fragrant aroma wafted out, invigorating him.
Having spent years refining poisons, Dugu Bo could tell that the medicinal liquid in the jade bottle was extraordinary.
"What's this?"
"A bottle of potion to nourish mental strength."
Cultivating a spiritual realm is extremely difficult.
With a bottle of medicinal liquid made from high-grade herbs, Dugu Bo's spiritual power was enough to enter the Spirit Sea Realm and clearly see the meridians in his body.
Then, he can activate the poison within his body, bypassing his internal organs, and store the poison in the soul bone of Medusa's skull.
It is worth mentioning that in the world of Soul Masters, only Dugu Bo has cultivated poison to its ultimate level and broken through to the Title Douluo realm.
The Poison Douluo is not a name without merit.
Tuoba Yan believed that as long as the Douluo Continent possessed the divine will left behind by the Poison God, Dugu Bo would surely be chosen by the gods as the successor to the divine position.
Why are you giving me this? What do you want from me?
"No demands. I see you as a friend, not an enemy, and hope you can become my comrade-in-arms in the divine realm in the future. This is just an investment in advance, nothing more!"
"Then I'll accept the gifts!"
The contents of the jade bottle were of paramount importance to him. After expressing his gratitude, Dugu Bo's surroundings rippled and then vanished.
If Dugu Bo can become the successor to the godhood, then when Tuoba Yan ascends to the god realm in the future, he will have one more comrade-in-arms!
Unlike Ning Fengzhi, Tuoba Yan chose to give the items directly to Dugu Bo without making any demands.
Tuoba Yan sat in the chair, recalling what had just happened.
He originally thought that Dugu Bo would become his mortal enemy, but he never expected that he could become Dugu Bo's comrade-in-arms.
"Ning Fengzhi, you are truly my benefactor!"
Tapping his fingers on the armrest of the chair, Tuoba Yan thought about why Dugu Bo had come today and felt grateful to Ning Fengzhi.
It was Ning Fengzhi who pushed Dugu Bo in front of Tuoba Yan.
Logically, he should thank Ning Fengzhi.
At this very moment, Ning Fengzhi, who was waiting for news at Shrek Academy, was completely unaware that things were not developing according to the "script" he had envisioned.
