Chapter 47: Meeting Dugu Bo

Zhou Heng treated this Dragon Pill as a cheat device to improve the cultivation of the Spirit Beasts under his command.

After all, the Life Energy converted from the Dragon Pill was truly too pure; plant-type Spirit Beasts could absorb it easily without needing to spend much effort.

After many experiments by Zhou Heng, it was also confirmed that this Life Energy had no side effects; it was purely Life Energy.

Furthermore, Zhou Heng thought of the Soul Core from ten thousand years later; he wondered if this Dragon Pill could be used as a Soul Core?

Zhou Heng began to conduct research on this.

Afterwards, except for when he had classes, Zhou Heng would go to class in the classroom or participate in practical training in the Hunting Soul Forest.

Five days passed, and on this day, Zhou Heng did not have class and was holed up in his dormitory practicing.

A terrifying aura suddenly descended upon Zhou Heng, suppressing him in place.

Sensing this aura, Zhou Heng immediately opened his eyes; before him, a gaunt old man wearing a dark green robe, with short dark green hair and eyes glowing with green light, was staring at him fiercely.

"Kid, you should know who I am, right?" As soon as the gaunt old man spoke, his hoarse voice made Zhou Heng's skin crawl.

"I know, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, right?" Zhou Heng replied with a blank expression and a flat tone.

Dugu Bo looked at this guy in front of him, who was unnaturally calm, and felt secretly surprised in his heart.

Such a thirty-ninth-level little guy actually showed no emotional fluctuations after knowing his own name; this little guy was definitely not normal.

Dugu Bo's thoughts were actually normal; after all, a Title Douluo was releasing a terrifying aura to suppress you and asking if you recognized him.

Any normal person would feel fear or unease, but the guy in front of Dugu Bo had no reaction at all, which was definitely not normal.

Just as Dugu Bo was pondering what was going on with this guy.

Zhou Heng spoke up: "Your Excellency Poison Douluo, you must have come to trouble me after hearing those rumors, right?"

Dugu Bo nodded subconsciously, then realized and shook his head, asking: "Those are rumors?"

Zhou Heng ignored Dugu Bo's head-shaking denial and said directly: "That's right, those are indeed rumors."

"Why should I believe what you say?" Dugu Bo asked vigilantly.

"I am a subordinate of the Crown Prince; I hold a Viscount title; I am also a genius who reached thirty-nine levels of soul power at twelve years old; most importantly, I can deal with the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison backlashing inside Dugu Yan." Dugu Bo did not take Zhou Heng's previous words to heart at all.

Although the Crown Prince would be the ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire in the future, a Title Douluo was someone the Heaven Dou Empire had to treat with caution; even if Dugu Bo killed Zhou Heng, Xue Qinghe would not do anything to Dugu Bo for the sake of Zhou Heng.

As for Zhou Heng's Viscount title, Dugu Bo cared about it even less.

Although Zhou Heng's talent was indeed very strong, a genius who had not yet grown up could not be considered a genius.

However, Zhou Heng's last sentence shocked Dugu Bo immensely; after all, the fact that his family's Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison backlashed had never been known to outsiders, and now, a little guy of only thirty-nine levels could speak of such a secret—how could Dugu Bo not be surprised?

After Dugu Bo was silent for a while, he asked Zhou Heng: "Did Yanyan tell you this secret?"

Zhou Heng heard the resentment in Dugu Bo's tone, like a head of cabbage he had worked hard to raise being rooted up by a black-skinned wild boar that had suddenly appeared.

After sensing Dugu Bo's resentment, Zhou Heng hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood, Dugu Yan suddenly fainted during a previous practical training session.

It was I who helped her clear the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison that appeared at that time.

That is also how I discovered that the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison would actually backlash."

Zhou Heng's words made Dugu Bo believe him for the moment; however, when Dugu Bo thought about how Zhou Heng could actually clear the backlashing Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison, the resentment in his heart immediately turned into a feeling of pleasant surprise.

He had not found a way to detoxify it for decades, and now there was finally a way to remove the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison from their Dugu Family.

Dugu Bo grabbed Zhou Heng's shoulder, and then the two moved rapidly.

In the back mountain of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, the three Education Committee Members, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin, suddenly looked in the direction of Dugu Bo; the three erupted with soul power and quickly rushed toward Dugu Bo's direction.

"Dugu Bo, put down our academy's student!" Bai Baoshan shouted loudly.

This was a genius student with the potential to reach the Title Douluo level, a powerhouse who could shelter the Heaven Dou Empire from wind and rain in the future.

He must absolutely not be killed by Dugu Bo because of those false rumors.

Seeing that Dugu Bo refused to put down Zhou Heng, Meng Shenji and Zhilin did not dare to attack Dugu Bo and could only try to persuade him with words.

However, the words of Meng Shenji and Zhilin did not make Dugu Bo show any reaction; Dugu Bo remained focused on his journey.

Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo after all, and the three Education Committee Members were not Spirit Masters known for their speed, so after chasing for a few minutes, Dugu Bo took Zhou Heng and shook off the pursuit of the three Education Committee Members.

After another ten-plus minutes, Dugu Bo brought Zhou Heng to a secluded place, where Dugu Bo put Zhou Heng down.

As soon as Zhou Heng landed, he looked around; this place looked like a secret chamber, and inside the chamber, there was a small bed and a row of bookshelves.

On the walls of the secret chamber hung several old, yellowed human meridian charts, and numerous acupuncture points were marked on the charts.

Zhou Heng looked carefully and only felt that these human meridian charts were not correct human meridian charts, because most of the content recorded on these charts was wrong.

Seeing that Zhou Heng's attention was attracted by the few human meridian charts he had collected, a smile appeared on Dugu Bo's gaunt face.

"How is it? My collection is not bad, right!" There was a hint of pride in Dugu Bo's tone.

Zhou Heng just smiled and did not say anything.

Dugu Bo did not care about these things and asked Zhou Heng anxiously: "Little guy, do you really have a way to remove the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in my body?"

Zhou Heng shook his head and said: "I cannot be sure either; you first reach out your hand and let me examine it."

Zhou Heng's words did not make Dugu Bo angry; on the contrary, Dugu Bo felt this was normal, as he, a Title Douluo, had spent decades without solving this Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison.

Now, if this twelve-year-old child in front of him said he could remove the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison, Dugu Bo would find it strange.

Dugu Bo extended his left hand, and Zhou Heng placed his hand on Dugu Bo's extended wrist, then injected his soul power into it and began to investigate the situation inside Dugu Bo's body.
