29 The Be

Hearing that Tang San had a smirk on his face,

"Old Freak, you said that you would be the one to poison me and using that snake to poison me doesn't follow our agreement, so how about another bet for this round"

"What bet??"

"If that snake is unable to poison me then you will give the snake to me"

Frowning Dugu Bo asked,

"Why should I agree to such terms??"

"How about this, if I can't resist the snake's poison then apart from curing yours and your grandaughter's poison I'll be your slave for five years after I graduate from Shrek Academy"

When Dugu Bo heard that he was a little tempted, after seeing a few secrets of Tang San he had one opinion of him, heaven blessed individual. Though he was able to kill him easily he still couldn't deny the talent he possessed, if in the future he was able to reach the same level as him then he was sure that the one to lose in a battle would be himself.

Thinking for a while he said,

"Fine, but I want to change the terms for the bet a little, instead of being my slave you will be my student from today and also promise to marry my granddaughter after you graduate from your Shrek Academy"

The main reason he did such a thing was due to Tang San's talent, he was sure to reach great heights in the future and being his teacher would surely bring him great respect. As for the matter of marriage with his granddaughter who wouldn't want a son-in-law as great as Tang San.

When Tang San heard that he was a truly surprised, as the terms he had offered was not something that he was unwilling to accept, in fact, if such terms were given to anyone else they would find ways to lose this bet instead. The disciple of a titled douluo or marrying a beauty like Dugu Yan was something others could only dream of.

"Are you sure with such terms?? Don't they seem too beneficial to me instead?? And is there anything you can actually teach me, not to brag but I think in terms of poison I wouldn't necessarily pale in knowledge compared to you"

Hearing that Dugu Bo was a little pissed, he was someone who was known as the Poison Douluo across the continent and here a 14-year-old kid was telling him that he was as knowledgeable as him in poison.

Instead of arguing back he just released the snake towards Tang San, it came towards him slithering at a fast pace and bit his arm. He didn't resist and let his Ultimate Ice-Fire Body and his Golden-Blood Body deal with the poison. The snake which bit him just fainted due to the Ice-Fire Poison and the Golden Blood from his blood.

"From now on I think I'll call you greeny"

The two entities were absolute opposites of each other with one being highly nourishing and the other being highly poisonous. He needed to control the poison in its body so that it didn't die so he just stroked its back which using some of his Spirit Power and help it in absorbing the poison while using the Golden Blood to strengthen its body. Being a Spirit Doctor such a thing was just too easy for him. But this was not something that could be done so quickly as it needed time to absorb the poison and the blood.

He walked toward the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well and tossed it into it, he knew that by this he was exposing the fact that he could resist the temperature and poisons in the Ice-Fire Well to Dugu Bo.

When Dugu Bo saw him throw Greeny to the Ice-Fire Well he had his mouth open wide due to the shock, but when he saw that Greeny was fine despite being thrown into the Well he was shocked. He himself knew the danger of going into the Ice-Fire Well as it was dangerous for even him a titled douluo but when he saw that the pet which he had raised was able to go there as if there was no problem at all he had no idea of what to think.

After thinking for a while he understood that it was due to Greeny taking in Tang San's blood that such a thing was possible, he wasn't in a hurry to find out what was going on so he just observed Tang San for a while.

"It looks like you were able to resist the poison from...Greeny is it?? Well anyhow since you won the bet the snake is now yours"

There was a trace of disappointment in his voice as he was unable to win the bet but at the same time, his admiration towards him grew even more. He had to agree that this man was truly talented and though he had given up on becoming his teacher he still hadn't given up on marrying his granddaughter to him.

"Tang San let's stop this here itself, all the other poisons which are more potent than…. Greeny's I have are all life threatening and I don't have the antidotes to them so I'll agree on this as my loss"

Hearing that Tang San was surprised, he knew that being a Titled Douluo he had a lot of pride on his poison and it wouldn't be so easy for him to admit defeat due to that, he was prepared to take on his Spirit Avatar form due to the same reason.

"Old Freak, why the sudden change in decision??"

"No reason, just that it would be sad to lose someone as talented as you and even if I can't make you my disciple I can still try to gain other benefits from you"

Hearing his reason Tang San didn't bother about it too much, he knew that this was how he behaved, doing things as he pleased and so he just left it as it is.

"Fine, but I still won't go back on the three wishes you promised me so don't blame me for it"

"....Sure, as for the cure to my poison, what do you have in mind??"
