Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 37: Those skilled in using poison must also know medicine; those skilled in using medicine must also know poison.

"Please!" Yang Wudi said to Dugu Bo.

"Hmm~"

Dugu Bo entered the reception room first, followed by the others.

"How did Your Majesty learn that my Yang family is skilled in poisons?" Yang Wudi asked Dugu Bo in the reception room. Dugu Bo's gaze swept across the crowd below, but Yun Yibai knew that Dugu Bo was looking at him.

"What? It sounds like Clan Chief Yang isn't very welcoming of me!" Dugu Bo rested his chin on his wrist, tilted his head, and looked at Yang Wudi with a smile.

"Your Majesty flatters me!"

"No one has told me that you are skilled in using poison," Dugu Bomian said casually, toying with his teacup.

"Someone did mention to me that your Po Clan is quite accomplished in alchemy." Dugu Bo's assessment was still too lenient. The Po Clan's achievements in alchemy were far more than just "quite accomplished"; they were practically unparalleled on this continent!

The Po Clan deserves much credit for the Haotian Sect's current status, as they compensated for the sect's shortcomings with their expertise in alchemy. However, the relationship between the Po Clan and the Haotian Sect is relatively distant, and they are extremely secretive about their clan's medicines, which caused the former sect leader of the Haotian Sect to harbor resentment towards them.

Over the years, Yang Wudi led the Po clan to migrate to the Star Luo Empire and settle down. The Po clan made a living by doing business with people from the two empires using the medicines they refined. They lived a more comfortable life than the other three single-attribute clans.

If he didn't have some confidence, Yang Wudi wouldn't have thought of uniting the four single-attribute clans to establish a sect.

No family has progressed as equally in both strength and side businesses as the Broken Clan.

"My title is Poison. Having studied poison for so many years, I naturally have some understanding of pharmacology."

"I know one thing very well: those who are skilled in using poison must also know medicine, and those who are skilled in using medicine must also know poison!" Dugu Bo said, his gaze fixed on Yang Wudi at the end.

Yang Wudi remained silent. Dugu Bo's words were unexpected, but Dugu Bo was absolutely right; that was exactly how he was. Dugu Bo looked at Yang Wudi without replying, "It seems you're admitting it!"

"How does Your Majesty wish to compete?" After a moment, Yang Wudi asked Dugu Bo.

"There's no rush for our competition on poison."

"It was just a whim of mine. I've heard that your Po clan is not only skilled in medicine, but also in warfare."

"My three juniors who follow me are quite talented, so why don't we have them spar with the young nobles first?" Yang Wudi looked at Dugu Bo with considerable surprise, somewhat bewildered by his actions. He sensed that the Dugu Bo before him was different from the Dugu Bo he knew from the outside world.

The widely rumored Dugu Bo is a solitary, aloof, ruthless, and unpredictable titled Douluo whose reputation is always associated with poison and death, inspiring fear in all who hear of him.

Moreover, the deaths of the city lord and his son a few days ago were indeed caused by this ruthless character.

The Dugu Bo before them, though indeed aloof and arrogant, was not as indiscriminate in killing people as the legends suggested.

Yang Wudi didn't believe that Dugu Bo had come to him specifically to show off these three young men.

Why would she think of ignoring Dugu Bo's own affairs?

His gaze returned to Yun Yibai, Dugu Yan, and Oscar.

"Okay!" Yang Wudi agreed.

He also wanted to see what kind of Soul Master that abnormal person was, and he was also very curious about the special flying Soul Skill that Yun Yibai and the others had just used.

"You three, come here and introduce yourselves to Chief Yang!"

"Greetings, Clan Chief Yang. My name is Yun Yibai, my martial soul is Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, I am fifteen years old, and I am a level 40 Power Attack-type Battle Soul Master!"

Yang Wudi was slightly taken aback. "Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex? Fifteen years old, level forty in soul power?" His tone was clear and calm. But that didn't mean his heart was equally calm.

Based on the surname, he could roughly guess Yun Yibai's status in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan: she was born to a female member of the clan who married out of the clan. However, he couldn't understand why such an outstanding member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan would follow Dugu Bo.

"Kid, you have innate full soul power?" Many questions swirled in Yang Wudi's mind, but he only picked out a few key ones to ask.

"Clan Chief Yang, my innate soul power is level seven!"

"That's impossible, kid. You should know that deceiving a strong person won't do you any good!" Yang Wudi's eyes flashed.

"Young man, I have never heard of a Soul Master with innate level 7 Soul Power reaching the Soul Master level at the age of fifteen."

"That's right, young people shouldn't focus on these gimmicks; it's better to be practical."

"..." The Soul Saints echoed Yang Wudi.

"With Senior Dugu here, Clan Chief Yang, do you think I have any reason to lie to you?" Yun Yi said with a smile, seemingly unaware of the occasion he was in.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"This kid's soul power has indeed reached level 40, while his innate soul power is only level 7."

Yang Wudi realized he had acted impulsively, but he couldn't be blamed; Yun Yibai had given him such a profound shock. A Soul Master with innate level seven Soul Power, reaching level forty in Soul Power cultivation at the age of fifteen—this was unheard of, practically impossible. After all, many Soul Masters with innate full Soul Power hadn't even reached level forty by the age of fifteen.

"Soul Master? You haven't obtained your fourth soul ring yet?"

"I managed to break through on the way here, but I haven't had time to acquire a soul ring yet."

Dugu Bo looked at Yun Yibai and thought to himself: This is no Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, he's clearly a little fox! No wonder Yan Yan cares so much about this kid, this little liar.

"I still think this is impossible. Many innate full-strength soul masters haven't achieved this, let alone someone like you with only innate level seven soul power. Unless..."

Suddenly, Yang Wudi seemed to remember something and pressed Yun Yibai for an answer.

"Did you eat some rare and precious herb?"

If it weren't for someone else, Yun Yibai's mouth would almost be splitting open. Although it was unintentional, it touched on the point he wanted to make: "Rare and precious treasures?"

Oscar Yun Yibai reappeared, saying, "What are rare and precious materials? This is something I have never understood before."

Oscar: Dude, where's my name?

"Rare and precious materials..." Yang Wudi explained to Yun Yibai.

"If what you say is true, Chief Yang, then when I was a little over eight years old, I did indeed obtain a special herb by chance. The herb smelled nice, and I swallowed it at the time."

Dugu Bo: "..." This kid has such a strange encounter?

"Boy! Can you describe to me what that herb looks like?" Yang Wudi couldn't sit still any longer. He strode over to Yun Yibai's side, his hands already gripping Yun Yibai's shoulders. He was excited; he had abandoned his dignity as the patriarch of the Yang clan, his eyes filled with anticipation.
