Douluo Continent: My Path to Godhood Through Stat Allocation

Chapter 89 Absorption (Second Update, Please Subscribe!)

"Isn't it a bit too hasty to make a decision so quickly?"

"This concerns your life and fortune; aren't you going to reconsider?"

Dugu Bo gripped the jade piece tightly and offered words of comfort in a gentle voice.

He wanted to see if Fang Ling's intuition had any more amazing aspects, since such a life-or-death matter as detoxification should be handled with utmost care.

But that doesn't mean he should immediately seek death upon arrival.

Fang Ling gently shook his head, his eyes flashing with a resolute determination as if he were facing death:

"I am not knowledgeable enough to think of any other way, and when I saw these two herbs, a sudden inspiration struck me and the idea jumped into my mind."

"I'm willing to trust my gut and gamble my future again!"

"However, there are only two plants left. If I eat them, you won't have any left. Senior, would you like to try?"

Dugu Bo's lips twitched.

You want to kill me?

Extreme power erupted within his body, which even a titled Douluo could not defend against.

The thought had barely crossed my mind when I heard Fang Ling continue in a guessing tone:

"Given the properties of ice and fire in suppressing toxins, after you consume this, it's as if a miniature spring of ice and fire will constantly flow within your body. Perhaps this will resolve the problem of the toxins?"

Dugu Bo's expression shifted slightly. Recalling the thrilling experience brought about by those two herbs, he ultimately chose to remain silent.

He's a Title Douluo, how could he not have thought of that?

I dare not!

Ice and fire are mutually restraining, representing two completely opposing forces.

Could one possibly expect to suppress and absorb it by simply relying on passion?

There is a 99% chance that the two are irreconcilable. If they get out of control and run rampant in the body, there will be no way to find a burial place!

Half of it froze into ice, half turned into dust, and half of it remained.

Let's try to think positively.

He is less likely to be able to suppress the intense conflict between extreme ice and fire.

If someone were to eat these two things, it would be normal for a Poison Douluo to die quietly here, leaving no trace of his body.

Without his grandfather as a powerful backer, one can imagine what would have become of Dugu Yan.

Dugu Bo let out a soft breath, thinking to himself, "If I were all alone, let's see if he would dare to try..."

I still don't dare; I won't gamble unless absolutely necessary.

It is human nature to live a life of compromise and survival; why would anyone be willing to risk their life to gamble on that one slim chance?

He lowered his gaze and stared at Fang Ling:

"Why are the tools used to retrieve them different? Why specifically take a fragment of the jade bottle?"

Fang Ling hesitated for a moment, a hint of uncertainty in his voice:

"I have read some ancient books and records, which state that metal tools are needed to handle cold herbs, while jade is needed to handle hot objects."

"While I don't know if this is true, it's better to believe it than not. Besides, this dagger is indeed less resistant to high temperatures than the jade piece."

"Okay, I'll help you." Dugu Bo didn't ask any more questions.

As requested by Fang Ling, they quickly retrieved the two immortal herbs.

Ice is more stable, so I used a dagger to take the eight-cornered ice grass first.

This is a white fairy herb, the top of which looks like a large white flower, octagonal in shape, with tiny, sparkling stamens in the center like ice crystals.

There was no fragrance emanating from it, but if you got close enough, you could feel the intense, powerful cold air emanating from it from ten meters away.

This is the ultimate ice, far surpassing ordinary ice attributes!

This title does not currently exist in the Douluo Continent, but the name does not affect the essential strength of the power.

If it stayed any longer, it would surely die a stiff death.

This is also why Fang Ling needed Dugu Bo's help.

He did not possess Tang San's Xuan Yu Hand, nor did he have the Xuan Tian Gong, a legitimate Taoist martial art from the Tang Clan's assassination sect.

With its meager soul power alone, it was difficult to resist the alternating erosion of cold and heat, let alone absorb it afterward.

He also had to adjust his condition to absorb the medicinal power of the two immortal herbs.

Dugu Bo, being a powerful Title Douluo, was on this trip with some of the ideas that Fang Ling intuitively had.

He wouldn't refuse such a small thing.

Dugu Bo cut the eight-cornered ice grass at the root and left it there. Even with the root severed, it could be preserved for a while longer in a suitable environment.

Then he took the second one, the Fiery Apricot.

Shaped like a cabbage, entirely fiery red, it occupies a central position on one side of Yangquan, a place where life is vibrant and passionate.

This is the ultimate fire; the characteristics of fire are burning and exploding.

However, it meant nothing to Dugu Bo.

So he deftly slid the jade piece across the base, cutting it off at the root, and then chose to hold it in his hand.

At this moment, Fang Ling threw the Frost and Snow Ring aside, ran over to get the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, and quickly placed it on the ground.

It was indeed very cold; his weak soul power melted and disintegrated like fragile frost the moment it touched it.

Even in just a moment, just from the passive release of cold air, one hand was already frozen.

Dugu Bo handed the Blazing Apricot Blossom to him, then stood quietly to the side, watching him operate it.

Feeling the intense heat that could almost burn his hands, Fang Ling immediately placed both items on the ground.

They were almost touching.

He wasn't particularly impressed by the other medicinal herbs, but he knew clearly that these two required the exchange of their essences.

Only by allowing their extreme attributes to clash and merge can they be absorbed.

A faint red light enveloped the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, while a faint white mist enveloped the Fiery Apricot.

This is the perfect time!

Fang Ling dared not hesitate for a moment.

He picked it up from the ground and swallowed it whole in large gulps.

Because of mutual restraint, their auras have blended together, and the previous extremes are no longer present.

It melts in your mouth, turning into a cool liquid that flows down your throat.

He felt a unique, refreshing fragrance permeating the air, as if he were in a fragrant sea of ​​flowers, which was very pleasant.

After waiting a moment, in the blink of an eye, his body trembled violently.

First, a layer of icy blue light suddenly bloomed, and the ultimate ice attribute permeated his entire body.

Immediately afterwards, another layer of fiery red rose up, like half of an exploding volcano, and the extreme fire quickly replaced the extreme ice.

A double whammy of ice and fire!

Two kinds of light flashed alternately.

The extreme change in attributes brought about an extremely acute sensitivity in the nerves, and also caused Fang Ling's skin to begin to crack inch by inch.

The cracks crisscrossed, a shocking sight.

"Judging from this, things don't look good." Dugu Bo pursed his lips tightly.

He said it would be difficult to succeed.

The forces of ice and fire not only clash with each other, but even if consumed simultaneously, the pain and torment are beyond what ordinary people can endure.

We'll see.

Fang Ling could still move, though his life force had weakened slightly, but he still stood firm.

still alive.

There is hope in life.

If Fang Ling knew, she would definitely tell him that there's still a good chance!

It looked very dangerous, even more dangerous than when Tang San absorbed it, and he looked like he was about to explode, but it was only because his body lacked the blessing of a thousand-year soul ring.

The daily training has taken its toll on my physical health, but it's not a big deal.

Because what replaces it is the original's specialization: Digestion Lv2!
