Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

Poison Must Die, Long Yuanba, Ao Yumou, and Vina also walked up to him. Vina reached out and summoned her martial soul, the Snow Lotus. Streams of white snow lotus floated into the little boy's body, helping him heal his wounds.

The little boy's breathing gradually stabilized, but green marks were spreading across his face, clearly indicating that he had been poisoned by the Jade Serpent.

Vina said, "My snow lotus doesn't yet have the ability to detoxify. What should we do?"

Seeing this, Du Bisi said, "Let me do it; I can suppress his poison."

At this moment, the little boy who had been treated by the snow lotus opened his eyes and said, "Thank you all for saving me and treating me."

"But there's no need to trouble this old gentleman; I can suppress these toxins myself."

Long Aotian had already knocked the Jade Serpent unconscious and tossed it next to the little boy, saying, "Are you going to absorb its power as your second soul ring?" Judging from the soul power aura, the little boy had already reached level 20 soul power. His fight with the Jade Serpent was clearly to hunt for a soul ring.

"Thank you, brother." The little boy said to Long Aotian with a smile. His pale face was covered with green marks, and his smile looked rather strange.

After saying that, the little boy took out a dagger and stabbed it into the seven-inch spot of the Jade Serpent. A deep yellow spirit ring appeared, and the little boy reached out and began to absorb the spirit ring.

Strangely, as the boy absorbed the spirit ring, the emerald green poison lines on his face gradually faded, as if they had been absorbed by him.

Seeing the way it absorbed the soul ring, Du Bisi, Long Yuanba, and Ao Yumou's eyes lit up with surprise.

Two hours later, the little boy finished absorbing the spirit ring and opened his eyes.

He immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you all for saving my life and helping me hunt for a soul ring. I, Dugu Yuan, will never forget such a great kindness." As he spoke, he bowed to the group of people.

Long Aotian stepped forward, helped him up, and said, "Your name is Dugu Yuan, right? My name is Long Aotian. These people are my master, my dad, my mom, and my childhood sweetheart, Vina."

"Young man, you don't need to be so polite. It was just a small favor."

"By the way, young man, how come you're so young, why are you hunting for spirit rings in the Star Dou Great Forest all by yourself? Where are your family?"

"My family members have all passed away." Dugu Yuan's tone became noticeably sorrowful as he said this.

Long Aotian looked embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. I brought up your sad story without warning."

Dugu Yuan forced himself to compose himself and said, "It's alright. My mother died when I was born, and my father passed away two years ago. I've been used to it all along."

Just then, Poisonous Death suddenly spoke up and asked, "Boy Dugu, is your martial spirit your true form? And is your ability to suppress toxins an inherent ability of your martial spirit?"

"Old sir, how did you know?" Dugu Yuan's face showed obvious surprise. This old man had revealed the secret of his martial soul in one sentence.

"My martial spirit is indeed my own body—called the Calamity Poison Body. My body has been innately poisonous since birth."

"My poison gas will increase in strength as I grow stronger, but it will bring misfortune and disaster to those around me."

"Although my father didn't say it, I know that my mother was actually poisoned by me, and my father also encountered an even more powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul beast while helping me hunt for my first soul ring, which is why he unfortunately passed away."

"If I hadn't met you all this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived. I'm an ominous person who brings misfortune with me," Dugu Yuan said in a dejected tone.

Upon hearing Dugu Yuan's words, Long Aotian and the others couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.

At the same time, Long Aotian thought that Dugu Yuan had been brought into the Body Sect, and his Body Martial Soul was still poisonous. Wasn't he just a miniature version of the Poison Must Die and Poison Cannot Die brothers? How could he miss such a talent when he had encountered him?

As for the ominous person with calamity that Dugu Yuan mentioned, Long Aotian has no need to worry at all. His Yin-Yang Eyes are born with luck and destiny, which is enough to suppress Dugu Yuan's calamity. From now on, as long as Dugu Yuan follows Long Aotian more, with Long Aotian's luck protecting him, Dugu Yuan's calamity and ominousness will not only not affect others, but Dugu Yuan himself will also not be affected.

"Young Dugu, would you be willing to join my Body Sect?" Du Bisi, who shared the same idea as Long Aotian, was the first to ask.

"The Body Sect? What kind of sect is that?" Dugu Yuan asked in confusion.

Although the Body Sect is powerful, it has too few members and only recruits Soul Masters with Body Martial Souls. Therefore, many low- and mid-level Soul Masters are unaware of the existence of the Body Sect.

Long Aotian then explained, "The Body Sect is a sect that uses the physical body as its martial soul. My master, Du Bisi, is the Grand Master of the Body Sect. My father and mother are both elders of the Body Sect. Vina and I are also younger generation disciples of the Body Sect."

"Young Brother Dugu, since your martial soul is also a physical body, all soul masters with physical body martial souls are one family. Why not join our Physical Body Sect?"

Looking at the people in front of him, Dugu Yuan, who had not felt the warmth of family for a long time, couldn't help but have tears well up in his eyes.

Although it was the first time they had met, Long Aotian and the others had saved him and helped him hunt for a soul ring. Even after hearing that he was an ominous person, they did not look down on him but were willing to let him join the sect. All of this made Dugu Yuan feel a long-lost warmth of "home".

Seeing the expectant looks from Long Aotian and the others, Dugu Yuan said, "I am willing to join the Body Sect. Dugu Yuan greets the Grand Sect Master, the two elders, Senior Brother Aotian, and Senior Sister Vina."

"You can call me Brother Long or Boss, that's what everyone in the sect calls me. I'll just call you A Yuan. By the way, how old are you? You look younger than me," Long Aotian said.

"Brother Long, I'm eight and a half years old this year."

"Wow, I never expected A Yuan to be such a peerless genius, reaching the Great Soul Master level at the age of eight and a half!"

Long Aotian reached the Great Soul Master level before he was eight years old, while Dugu Yuan reached the Great Soul Master level at eight and a half years old. His talent is not much different from Long Aotian's.

"Young Dugu, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Before Dugu Yuan could react, Long Aotian said, "Yuan, what are you hesitating for? Your master is a level 99 Limit Douluo, one of the top experts in the entire Douluo Continent."

Dugu Yuan immediately bowed down to Du Bisi as if he were pushing gold and jade over the ground: "Disciple Dugu Yuan greets Master."
