Douluo: Elemental Angel, Inheritance of the Seven Elemental Gods

Chapter 17: Subdue Dugu Bo and Enter the Spirit Hall [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

"Grandpa Qianjun, Grandpa Jiangmo, there is no need to use tough measures. It is enough to let him understand the situation and make a choice." Lin Yu said.

"Oh?"

Qianjun and Jiangmo looked at each other, and they also wanted to see what Lin Yu could do.

"Let me try."

Lin Yu said as he stood in front of Dugu Bo, his mood very calm: "Senior Dugu Bo, I think you should be clear about the current situation. If you want to survive, your only way is to join the Spirit Hall."

"I know you might not be afraid of death, but your granddaughter... Of course, we can let her go after you die."

"But even if we let your granddaughter go, she probably won't live past 20!"

"What do you mean?" Dugu Bo raised his head and looked at the extraordinary boy in front of him, feeling extremely uneasy.

Lin Yu said bluntly: "Your Jade Scaled Snake Martial Soul has a powerful poisonous ability, but it will also be corroded by the snake venom. This backlash poison will make you miserable and even endanger your life."

"You were able to suppress the backlash poison with the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, but your granddaughter has been exposed to the poison since her mother's womb, so her attacks are faster and more severe!"

"Even if she can live past the age of twenty or thirty, she will be endlessly tortured by the backlash poison throughout her life."

Lin Yu's words were like needles, piercing Dugu Bo's heart with every word. Looking at his beautiful, lovely and beloved only granddaughter beside him, Dugu Bo felt very uncomfortable.

But he was also extremely shocked at how Lin Yu knew it. Dugu Bo gritted his teeth, stared at Lin Yu and said in a deep voice: "How did you know?"

"You don't need to know this. You just need to understand that I can help you and your granddaughter get rid of the backlash poison."

This sentence made Dugu Bo's eyes widen and he became a little excited: "Can you solve it!?"

"That's right." Lin Yu nodded and said again: "Senior Dugu Bo, now you can make your choice."

"You intend to die, leaving your granddaughter helpless and suffering from the backlash poison until she dies."

"Or do you want to help your granddaughter to cure the backlash poison, and then join the Spirit Hall and live happily together as a grandfather and grandson?"

Two choices, one heaven and one hell.

Dugu Bo actually already had the answer in his heart at this moment, but there were some things and concerns that prevented him from making a decision.

"Grandpa! Just agree to it. There's nothing wrong with the Spirit Hall. Yanyan, Yanyan, I don't want to see you die!" Dugu Yan said with tears in her eyes.

"Yanyan." Dugu Bo's heart ached again. He clenched his fists. "If you can really cure the poison in us, then joining the Spirit Hall wouldn't be a problem. But I, Dugu Bo, have offended Juhuaguan. If I join the Spirit Hall, wouldn't I have to condescend to serve under Juhuaguan?"

Dugu Bo doesn't have much hatred with the Spirit Hall, but he has his mortal rival, Ju Douluo, in the Spirit Hall.

Ju Douluo is an elder of the Spirit Hall who holds considerable power. If Dugu Bo joins, won't he become Ju Douluo's subordinate and be dominated by him?
This was something he really couldn't accept.

Lin Yu smiled knowingly. Dugu Bo had actually made his choice by saying this.

He smiled and said, "Anyone who is at the Titled Douluo level is qualified to become an elder of the Spirit Hall. I can apply to the higher authorities to grant you the status of elder. This way, you will be on the same level as Ju Douluo."

"After joining the Spirit Hall, you only need to serve our Worship Hall and don't have to obey the Pope. It's relatively free in the Worship Hall." "Are you serious? Can you directly let me take the position of the elder of the Spirit Hall?" Dugu Bo's eyes lit up.

"Well, I think there's a 99 percent chance of that happening."

"Who is this kid? How can he have such a big say in the Spirit Hall?" Dugu Bo suddenly became curious about Lin Yu's identity, and he finally made up his mind.

He slowly lowered his proud head: "Please give me a way to detoxify. I, Dugu Bo, am willing to join the Spirit Hall!"

"Get up first, Senior Dugu Bo." Lin Yu stretched out his hand to help Dugu Bo up, and then explained: "To solve the toxins accumulated in your body, you only need to force the toxins into a soul bone. Using the soul bone as a carrier can prevent the toxins from continuing to attack the body, and you can also retain your poison skills."

"But! Using soul bones as a carrier will eventually become unable to contain all the toxins. At that time, the toxins will still backfire on your body, so this is just a delaying tactic."

"Now you can force the toxins in your body into your soul bones. Oh, by the way, it's best not to choose the head soul bone."

Dugu Bo asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why?"

"To be safe, it's better to choose the soul bones of the limbs. Although the probability of an accident is relatively low, if something really goes wrong, you can at least chop off your hands and feet. You can't chop off your head, right?"

"I see, that makes sense! It makes sense!"

"The capacity of a soul bone can sustain your life for at least ten years. If you continue to serve the Spirit Hall sincerely after ten years, I will find a way to completely eradicate the toxins in your body." (In fact, in the original novel, Dugu Bo never died. Here, we will calculate according to the time of his death in the anime. After forcing the poison into his soul bone, Dugu Bo lived for about ten years.)
"I understand, thank you!"

Seeing that Dugu Bo had been completely persuaded to surrender, and the demon subduer behind him, Qianjun and the other two smiled at each other.

But there is still a problem for Dugu Bo at the moment, that is, he has only absorbed a head soul bone, although he also has a two thousand year old poisonous lizard leg soul bone.

This soul bone was specially left by Dugu Bo for his granddaughter.

If he gave it to Dugu Yan, he would have nothing left.

But Dugu Bo took out the leg soul bone without hesitation: "Yanyan, this soul bone is prepared by grandpa for you. Now it is time to hand it over to you. You absorb it and force the toxins in your body into the soul bone."

"But grandpa, if you give it to me, you won't have any soul bones for your limbs!" Dugu Yan refused.

"Grandpa, just think of finding another piece. It's almost absorbed."

"Grandpa's soul bone is not that easy to find."

Watching the grandfather and grandson politely giving way to each other, Qianjun Douluo interrupted directly, "Alright, stop making excuses. I happen to have a 4,000-year-old poisonous left leg bone here. Consider it a gift from Xiaoyu. All you have to do is repay Xiaoyu's kindness."

Qianjun Douluo said this and threw the soul bone directly in front of the grandfather and grandson.

"Grandpa Qianjun really treats me very well." Lin Yu was quite touched.

Qianjun asked Dugu Bo to show his favor simply because he wanted Dugu Bo to be another strong supporter behind him.

Although this piece is not suitable for Qianjun Douluo, any soul bone is extremely precious...
