Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 8 We're not you
……

"Suppress Berserk?"

Seeing the martial spirit's outburst that Xuanming had forcefully suppressed, Dugu Bo's eyes held a hint of shock.

This kid's martial soul is currently in a berserk state. There's no doubt about the violent aura of those two dragons. When he roared just now and unleashed his domain, this kid had definitely lost his mind!

My current level of clarity is purely due to my own willpower.

Berserk can indeed be controlled, but it has nothing to do with mental strength; it all depends on whether one's willpower is strong enough to pull madness back from the brink of disaster.

Although it was a struggle, we managed to stabilize the situation.

How could someone so young be able to suppress the side effects of berserk behavior? What exactly did this kid go through before?
Mental strength can be improved through cultivation, but willpower is purely honed through life experiences.

Was this kid abused growing up?

Otherwise, how could someone have such willpower?
"Old Poisoner, have you thought this through?" Yue Guan asked.

"Hand them over, or die here."

"Why don't you just say whether you want to die tomorrow or today?" Dugu Bo sneered.

Even if he hands this kid over, it's only to escape today's troubles. Once the Spirit Hall sets its sights on him, he's destined to never have peace again.

“I gave you a chance,” Yue Guan said.

"You didn't want it yourself."

The Spirit Hall is currently in need of manpower. If Dugu Bo is willing to join, he will definitely have a place in the Elder Hall. However, this old poisoner is arrogant and will inevitably interfere with the Spirit Hall's grand plans in the future. It would be better to kill him as soon as possible.

"If you don't hand me over, at least you can avoid today?" Xuanming said.

Dugu Bo's unpredictable nature means that even if you become familiar with him, you'll be safe, but only if you survive long enough to become familiar with this old poisoner.

He's not Tang San; he doesn't have the skill to use poison. It's too dangerous for him to stay with this old poison master.

"What are you saying? How could I abandon you?" Dugu Bo said.

“We’re not familiar with each other,” Xuanming said speechlessly.

"I brewed the medicine for you, and you taught me meditation. We're even."

“Old Poisoner, didn’t you hear that this kid doesn’t want to work with you anymore?” Yue Guan said.

"Hurry up and hand over the person, then we'll go our separate ways. Tomorrow is tomorrow."

Dugu Bo looked at Xuanming, "Do you really want to go with them?"

“If I don’t go with them, I’ll die with you,” Xuanming said.

Dugu Bo was clearly no match for Yue Guan and Gui Mei. Let alone taking on two at once, he wouldn't even be a match for them in a one-on-one fight!

If those two on the other side hadn't been wary of the old poisoner's deadly venom, they would have killed him long ago.

If the fight continues, what if Dugu Bo is forced into a corner and decides to self-destruct?
Dugu Bo thought for a moment, then looked at Yue Guan and Gui Mei, "Since that's the case, you'd better keep your word."

"We're not you." Yue Guan laughed in exasperation.

Which Title Douluo doesn't have self-respect?

It's shameless enough to bully a Soul Douluo or Soul Saint, but a Title Douluo as shameless as this old poisoner is unique in the entire continent!

"Go." Dugu Bo released the binding force on Xuanming's soul power, letting him leave.

But Xuanming suddenly stopped when he reached the side of Yueguan and Guimei.

Yue Guan frowned. "Kid, why aren't you coming over here?"

Do you think I don't want to?
Xuanming was about to lose his temper and start cursing.

Nine-section jade!

This thing is still on him, and it's already open its mouth!
If he walks any further, he'll be ready to bite into those nine sections of jade!
That shameless old bastard has no intention of letting him leave!

"Attack!" Dugu Bo transmitted his voice. Xuan Ming suppressed his anger, "Go to hell!"

The cold white light suddenly exploded outwards, and the unsuspecting Yue Guan and the ghost were suppressed once again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dugu Bo, who was not included in the domain, activated his Martial Soul True Form. The Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor True Form swept across, directly knocking Yue Guan and Gui Mei away.

The poisonous fog billowed out, instantly turning the forest into a labyrinth.

Dugu Bo grabbed Xuanming and ran away!

"You old poisoner! You're shameless!" Yue Guan roared.

"Old Ghost, after him!"

“You’ve been poisoned,” the ghost said.

"Never mind! I'm going to kill this old poisoner today!" Yue Guan suppressed the poison in his hands, broke through the poisonous mist, and chased after the ghost again.

That kid's domain is too shameless. Even a Title Douluo would be suppressed if he was caught off guard. Even if it's for a very short time, it still takes time to break free. Dugu Bo did this to seize that one moment!

……

"Good job, kid."

In the brief moment between the defeat of Yue Guan and the ghost, Dugu Bo had already created considerable distance with Xuan Ming.

"Hehe." Xuanming didn't want to speak.

"Don't think I'm despicable. The Spirit Hall isn't any better. It has so many rules and regulations. How can it compare to the carefree life I lead with?" Dugu Bo said.

"I'm sorry, I'm vulgar. I like wealth and luxury," Xuanming said.

"Wealth and honor are easy to attain; I have plenty of ways to achieve them," Dugu Bo said.

"..."

"What would you have done if I hadn't cooperated?" Xuanming asked.

"Why ask a question you already know the answer to?" Dugu Bo said calmly.

Xuanming was speechless. "Are you really that serious?"

“Of course,” Dugu Bo said.

"Don't think I can't see through you. I threatened you with the nine-section jade to help me, and then forcibly took you away, putting you in danger. You harbor a lot of resentment towards me. If I really let you go with them, you will most likely come back to take revenge on me in the future."

The fact that this kid was able to escape from those two human traffickers and seize that opportunity to fight back shows how deep his mind is and how decisive he is in his actions!

People with deep and complex personalities often have an extremely strong desire for revenge!
If this kid hadn't cooperated with him, he absolutely couldn't have been allowed to live!
Otherwise, he'll be the one who suffers in the future!
"So if you forcibly take me away, I won't retaliate?" Xuanming asked.

“You just helped me escape. In Yue Guan’s eyes, you are already tied to me. Even if you want to join the Spirit Hall in the future, with this grudge, do you think you can survive in the Spirit Hall?” Dugu Bo said calmly.

"Besides, you risked your life to help me in such a dangerous situation just now. Do you think the Spirit Hall will believe that you are truly loyal to them?"

"In fact, if you were to lay a hand on me, they would see you as a two-faced scoundrel, and who would dare to keep you alive?"

“I was threatened by you,” Xuanming said.

"Do you think they'll believe that?" Dugu Bo asked.

"Don't forget, you were once kidnapped by the Spirit Hall's patrolling deacons. With that grudge, they will never believe you no matter what."

“You just offended Chrysanthemum Demon, which means you've offended the Spirit Hall. If you don't follow me, you won't survive.”

"As for revenge against me, you'll have to wait a few decades."

"..."

Xuanming didn't say anything more, afraid that if he continued talking, he wouldn't be able to resist giving that old poisoner a couple of bites!

They have absolutely no shame!
