"So it's someone with two 100,000-year spirit rings. No wonder his strength is so formidable."
"You are that teacher from Heart of Fire Academy, Xin?"
"I didn't come here to make enemies with your Heart of Fire Academy. I came to discuss something, to seek an audience."
"If we fight, I'm afraid you won't gain anything. This area of several thousand meters will turn into my poison field."
Seeing two 100,000-year spirit rings appear on Xin, Dugu Bo's eyelids twitched, and he immediately dared not be arrogant, his tone softening a bit as he spoke.
But Xin's tone was cold and indifferent: "Poison Douluo's attitude is not one of seeking an audience, but of coming to settle scores and coerce. I still say the same thing: either apologize to my disciples, or I will poison you back in the same way you poisoned them."
"Alright, I am the Titled Poison Douluo. Am I afraid of your poison? There's no poison in this world that can fell me. Come on."
"If your poison is useless against me, then you must promise to do one thing for me."
This was the first time Dugu Bo had seen someone like Xin, who, for the sake of a few students, would seriously contend with a Titled Douluo, showing a stance of fighting to the death if he didn't back down, especially since those students were unharmed.
"This isn't a gamble. This is a punishment for your arrogance, and it's the prerequisite for me to be willing to communicate with you on equal terms. You are not qualified to propose conditions to me right now." Xin glanced at Dugu Bo and said indifferently.
He actually knew Dugu Bo's intention: he came for the poison on himself and his granddaughter, trying his luck to see if there was a cure.
But this fellow's methods were too erratic. If he had been out of the Academy today, what kind of treatment would his students have suffered?
He had to teach Dugu Bo a lesson; this was Xin's principle. "Meng Yiran, Zhuqing, watch closely. This item is called the Life and Death Talisman, one of the poison weapons recorded in the burial objects "Underworld Artifacts". You must remember: what burdens the human body and erodes the flesh is poison; what harms human body parts and seals the throat with blood is a Hidden Weapon; what possesses both is a poison weapon. You will learn this later as well."
Xin's spirit power reversed in his palm, condensing an ice talisman as thin as a cicada's wing. With a raise of his hand, he struck it into Dugu Bo's glabella.
When the Life and Death Talisman entered his body, Dugu Bo didn't feel any abnormality, just a cool sensation that quickly dispersed. Even he couldn't capture it, and he thought his poisonous body had instantly dispelled the poison Xin had administered.
He said indifferently: "Kid, I am already full of potent poison. Your poison is merely a trifle to me, it won't do anything to me at all. It seems we can talk about other matters now."
Xin said indifferently: "Don't rush. This Life and Death Talisman hasn't started to act yet. Once it does, it will become more potent with each passing moment, the intense itch and pain increasing progressively for eighty-one quarters of an hour, then gradually subsiding. After eighty-one quarters of an hour, it will increase again, repeating endlessly, without cease."
"Let's talk after you can endure the first round of eighty-one quarters of an hour."
After Xin finished speaking, he turned and returned to Heart of Fire Academy.
Dugu Bo remained unconcerned, leaning against a cherry tree by the school gate, and said indifferently: "Kid, I hope your poison won't disappoint me, so my long journey won't be in vain."
"Just don't beg for mercy then."
"Don't worry, even if I die, I, Dugu Bo, will not utter a single word of surrender."
Do you think my title as Poison Douluo is just for show?
