Douluo Continent: Rebuilding the Clear Sky Sect

Chapter 55 Detoxification

Dugu Bo's expression instantly turned ugly.

His eyes darted around a few times, then he gave Tang Hao a wary look and said, "Kid, just say what you want."

"Senior Poison Douluo, don't be nervous."

Tang Fei reassured her, "I just want to cure you and your granddaughter of the Jade Phosphorus Snake venom."

"What makes you think I'm poisoned?" Dugu Bo sneered.

"Dugu Bo, you're such a good actor!"

Tang Fei shook his head and sighed, then analyzed, "Let me ask you, whenever it's cloudy or rainy, do you experience a tingling or itchy sensation in your ribs, and does it gradually intensify? It happens once at noon and once at midnight, and given your current condition, each episode should last for more than an hour."

"Also, every night, you experience needle-like stabbing pains on the top of your head and in your heart, accompanied by spasms throughout your body for at least half an hour. I don't need to describe the excruciating pain, do I?"

"If it's not poisoning, how could these symptoms appear?"

Tang Fei said this, based on the analysis in the original work.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was immediately shocked and asked, "How...how did you know?"

Tang Fei's description was as if he had seen it with his own eyes. This could be said to be Dugu Bo's biggest secret, which even his own granddaughter Dugu Yan did not know. How could he not be surprised?

Tang Fei smiled slightly and said, "I not only know that you have been poisoned, but I also know that your granddaughter, Dugu Yan, has been poisoned as well."

"If not treated in time, the backlash from the poison will become more and more severe as the soul power deepens, eventually leading to death from the torment of pain."

A flicker of uncertainty crossed Dugu Bo's eyes. Everything Tang Fei said was absolutely correct, and that was precisely his greatest pain right now.

Behind his immense power, he endured torment that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

That kind of torture left him in a state of life and death every time.

The pain was indescribable.

"Can you cure the poison in my body?" Dugu Bo finally abandoned his pride and couldn't help but ask, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Tell me your conditions."

He was ready and waiting for Tang Fei to make an outrageous demand.

Tang Fei spoke calmly, saying, "My condition is very simple: the prerequisite for treating you is that I must first gather some flowers and herbs."

"If I'm not mistaken, you've been making medicine for many years, so you should have your own medicinal herb garden, right?"

Dugu Bo nodded, then his eyes darted around, and he said warily, "A few flowers and plants are a small matter, but what am I supposed to do if you pick them all and then don't treat me?"

"Why don't you treat me first? If it really works, I'll give you my entire medicinal herb field, what are you going to do?"

"Dugu Bo, do you think you have a choice? If you don't trust me, you can find a solution yourself," Tang Fei coldly replied.

Dugu Bo cursed inwardly, "If I had a way to cure this, I would have done it long ago. Why would I have to wait until now?"

That kid's words are infuriating.

If Tang Hao hadn't been there, he would have even wanted to slap him twice.

"You don't need to worry about me running away. I can swear here and now, under the witness of Haotian Douluo, that if I take your herbs but don't cure your illness, you can kill me anytime!" Tang Fei made his guarantee.

Poison Douluo felt a slight sense of comfort; Haotian Douluo's reputation was still trustworthy.

Besides, if this kid really doesn't want to treat him, there's nothing he can do, so he might as well try anything.

"Alright, I agree, but you must detoxify me as soon as possible. You should know that the longer it takes, the worse it will be for me," Dugu Bo said in a deep voice.

Tang Fei pursed his lips and said, "What's the rush? I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"Kid... what else do you have to say? Hurry up and say it." Dugu Bo was a little annoyed. Why was this kid talking so much?

Tang Fei said, "I can detoxify you, but because you are deeply poisoned, I cannot guarantee a 100% success rate. It depends on whether you can accept it."

"How confident are you?" Dugu Bo asked, frowning.

Tang Fei thought for a moment. He had originally intended to say 50%, but hesitated for a second and only held up three fingers, saying, "30%!"

"Only 30%?" Dugu Bo frowned.

"Thirty percent is quite a lot!" Tang Fei said calmly. "Even if it can't be cured successfully, it can greatly slow down the damage the toxin does to you."

Dugu Bo thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I agree, but the herbs you need to collect cannot delay the detoxification for me."

For him, the existence of the medicinal field was solely for the purpose of detoxification, and no condition could violate this principle.

"I promise not!" Tang Fei grinned. His target was those immortal items, which Dugu Bo didn't recognize at all, so there would be no conflict.

"Come pick me up at Hammer Academy tomorrow morning. Besides myself, I need to bring an assistant," Tang Fei said.

Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Okay!"

He looked at Tang Hao warily and asked, "Now, can I leave?"

Tang Fei said speechlessly, "Have you forgotten that you were the one who chased after me first?"

Dugu Bo responded with an "oh," his old face slightly flushed.

He took a step and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Tang Fei took a deep breath, looked at the burly man, and smiled, "Uncle Hao, thank you."

The latest novel is first published here!

Tang Hao waved his hand and said, "We're family, no need to be so polite. Since you've already recognized my brother as your godfather, you're practically my nephew. Even if the sect hadn't sent me a letter to specifically protect you, I would have helped you as soon as I found out."

Tang Fei felt a surge of warmth in his heart; look at Tang Hao's magnanimity.

What a man!

"I will keep an eye on you from the shadows, but sometimes I also need to do my own things. I advise you not to provoke Title Douluos again. If I'm not around, the consequences will be severe," Tang Hao warned.

Tang Fei nodded.

Tang Hao waved his hand, and with a flash, disappeared into the darkness.

Back to Smartisan Academy.

Everyone has already turned back.

Dugu Bo's target wasn't them, but Tang Fei. They were currently gathered together, discussing how to rescue Tang Fei.

"I'll go get Grandpa to take action!" That was Tailong's voice. The Power Clan was stationed in Tiandou City.

Scarface shook his head and said, "By the time you call the Titan Clan Chief over, Dugu Bo will have already captured Tang Fei. Besides, even your grandfather couldn't defeat a Title Douluo."

"What should we do then?" Tyrone said helplessly.

The skinny man said with a worried look, "What else can we do? Hold a huge celebration!"

Everyone: "..."

"I said, are you all just hoping I die?" Tang Fei walked out with a dark expression.

"Tang Fei? You're alright!"

They were all astonished to see that Tang Fei was unharmed.

"Great! I thought you were doomed after being targeted by Dugu Bo, but I didn't expect you to escape his pursuit." Tailong stood up with a look of surprise.

Tang Fei smiled. Tai Long thought Dugu Bo hadn't found him yet.

"I've reached an agreement with Dugu Bo, and he won't cause any more trouble, so don't worry," Tang Fei said.

Everyone looked puzzled.

Scarface couldn't help but ask, "What agreement?"

"Antidote!"
