Douluo: Reincarnated As Dai Weisi

Chapter 36: The Surprised Dugu Bo

"Brother Davis, what is this?"

After refining the energy of the small piece of whale glue, Anna's eyes lit up in surprise.

"Brother, this is really a good thing! After eating it, I feel like my soul cultivation speed has increased a lot!"

Davis rubbed Anna's little head and smiled. "I told you it was good. Now you believe me. Alright, go back to practicing in the garden. Your task this week is to focus on cultivating soul power. Understand?"

"Yes! Got it, Brother Davis!"

With that, Anna ran back to the pavilion in the courtyard, sat cross-legged, and began her soul power training.

In the following week, Davis did not assign her any physical exercise. Her two daily tasks were simple:

1. Meditate in the garden and cultivate soul power.

2. Eat as much as possible—as long as she didn't die from it!

Every meal Anna ate was highly nutritious. Half an hour after each meal, she consumed a small piece of whale glue.

After a week, her body gradually grew stronger. At the very least, she no longer had skinny arms and legs.

Seeing her physical improvement, Davis finally began arranging various physical training routines for her. The basics included long-distance running, push-ups, squats, sit-ups, and pull-ups.

Her daily goals were:

10 km of running

100 push-ups

100 squats

100 sit-ups

10 pull-ups

That's right—this was the famous Saitama training method from Davis's previous life. Of course, considering that Anna was still a child, the exercises were broken into smaller sets.

For example, her 10 km run was split into fifty 200-meter sprints, and the 100 push-ups into ten sets of 10. Over time, the segments increased—50 sprints turned into 25 four-hundred-meter sprints, and then 20 five-hundred-meter sprints, all adjusted based on Anna's fitness.

All of this was meant to improve Anna's physical condition and prepare her for absorbing higher-level spirit rings.

Davis believed that Anna's first spirit ring should be at least 600 years old—and if it came from a plant-type spirit beast, it could even go up to 700 years.

Perhaps to thank Davis for saving her, Anna trained incredibly hard. No matter how exhausted she was, she completed everything he assigned—even if it meant skipping sleep.

At first, the intense physical training overwhelmed her. But as Davis steadily increased her whale glue dosage, her body adapted quickly. Little by little, she adjusted to the demanding regimen.

At the same time, Davis began considering increasing the intensity of her training even more.

Heaven Dou City, Dugu Family Mansion

After half a month of hard work, Qin Ming and his team finally returned to Heaven Dou City, and Dugu Yan also returned home.

The moment she arrived, she wanted to see her grandfather Dugu Bo to ask about the poisoning. But the servant informed her that Dugu Bo had left the mansion a week ago and had not returned since.

With no idea where her grandfather had gone, Dugu Yan had no choice but to wait. Another week passed before he finally came back.

A tall, thin old man suddenly descended from the sky and landed at the entrance of the Dugu residence.

The old man's face was haggard, his cheeks sunken. His messy hair and beard were streaked with an eerie dark green, and his venomous snake-like eyes glowed like emeralds.

Not only did his eyes resemble those of a serpent—his entire presence gave off the aura of a snake hunting its prey. The kind that might strike at any moment.

Wearing a simple gray robe, he stepped into the room without a word.

"Grandpa! You're back!"

Upon seeing Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo's eyes softened with affection. He smiled and said,

"Haha, my precious granddaughter. Grandpa is home. Did you miss me?"

Dugu Yan threw herself into his arms and smiled. "Hehe, Grandpa, welcome back!"

As a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo's perception was incredibly sharp. With that one embrace, he immediately noticed that Dugu Yan's soul power had broken through.

"Oh? Yanyan, your soul power has reached level 36? Not bad!"

"Hehe, Grandpa, I've been practicing hard lately," Dugu Yan replied cheerfully—but in her heart, she was thinking of Davis.

Ever since she lost to him in the Star Dou Great Forest, she had trained like her life depended on it. Practicing day and night without rest.

Now that three weeks had passed, she had finally broken through to level 36. She suddenly remembered what Davis had said and quickly asked,

"Grandpa, can you help me check if I've been poisoned?"

"What?!"

Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically. His already pale face turned completely ashen—as if he'd seen a ghost.

What's going on?

Could it be… Yanyan's poison is starting to act up?!

Over the years, Dugu Bo had deliberately hidden the fact that his granddaughter was poisoned to avoid interfering with her cultivation. All this time, he'd been searching for a cure—but found nothing.

He had discovered a Feng Shui treasure land—the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well—and used the surging spiritual energy there to suppress the poison in his own body. But that was only temporary relief.

Right now, Dugu Bo looked extremely tense. If the poison in Dugu Yan's body erupted, she wouldn't be strong enough to suppress it. The result would be certain death by poisoning.

He had already watched his son and daughter-in-law die because of this toxin. He could never allow his granddaughter to follow the same path.

Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather in confusion.

"Grandpa? What's wrong? Why do you look so serious?"

"It's nothing. Yanyan, why do you ask about being poisoned all of a sudden?"

"It's like this, Grandpa…"

She began recounting how she met the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, Davis—how he had told her she was poisoned.

Dugu Bo listened carefully as she described Davis's strength—his ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring, how he defeated the Royal Heaven Dou team in a one-vs-seven battle—and how he instantly saw through her poisoning condition.

"He also said that once the poison reaches the internal organs, I would die…" Dugu Yan said hesitantly. "Teacher Qin Ming said it's better to believe it than not, so he told me to ask you, since you're Poison Douluo and you can surely help me."

"I see… Teacher Qin Ming is right. Something like this can't be taken lightly."

Dugu Bo's heart sank. He had dedicated his life to poison research. He was the feared Poison Douluo, yet he couldn't resolve the very poison in his own family.

He could only watch helplessly as his son died, and now his granddaughter was poisoned too.

But then—an idea struck him.

The prince of the Star Luo Empire… He said he was skilled in medicine and could see through poison at a glance. Maybe—just maybe—he really does have a way?

Desperate to save his granddaughter, Dugu Bo decided:

He must seek out Davis.

If Davis had a way to detoxify Dugu Yan, he would beg or even grovel to get his help. And if there was no cure—he would take Dugu Yan to live near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and plan from there.
