Dante seemed to transform into a ray of dawn breaking through the dark night, charging directly into the mass of blue poison mist!
That terrifying Green Phosphorus Blue Poison was actually forcibly split open by Dante, creating a path right through the middle!
Wherever the spear tip passed, the poison mist receded completely!
A glint of cold light expanded rapidly in Dugu Yan's eyes!
"Not good!"
To the side, Sword Douluo and Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed simultaneously, both thinking that things were taking a turn for the worse.
This kid's speed is too fast!
Just as Dugu Bo was about to intervene, he saw Dante shake his wrist with extreme precision in the middle of the field.
The God-Slaying Spear emitted a low hum and came to a steady stop less than three inches away from Dugu Yan.
The entire field fell into a dead silence.
After a moment, he looked at the dazed Dugu Yan and said in a flat tone, "Young Miss Dugu, thank you for the match."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan finally snapped out of it.
"I... I lost? I actually lost?"
She lowered her head, feeling somewhat unwilling, but mostly confused.
"Why?"
"Why is my poison completely useless against you?"
Dante looked at her and suddenly said something that stunned everyone present:
"It's undeniable that your Green Phosphorus Snake Poison is very potent, but you've taken the wrong path—or rather, your direction for the development of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul is wrong."
Dugu Yan suddenly looked up. "What do you mean?"
Even Dugu Bo, standing nearby, pricked up his ears. A level eleven or twelve kid was actually teaching the granddaughter of a Titled Douluo how to Cultivate?
Dante didn't beat around the bush and said straightforwardly:
"Your poison mist attack form is too scattered and too slow."
"Once you encounter an opponent with strong explosive power or one who counters you with wind or fire attributes, your poison becomes nothing more than a decoration."
"Once the defense of your poison mist is broken, your body is as fragile as a sheet of paper."
Speaking to this point, Dante looked at Dugu Yan with burning eyes, his tone carrying a hint of frustration. "The Jade Phosphor Serpent is a top-tier Beast Spirit!"
"Since it's a Beast Spirit, that means it possesses a powerful Physique and strength!"
"Why do you insist on training yourself into a control system Soul Master who only knows how to release poison?"
"Why don't you follow the attack system?"
"attack system?!" Dugu Yan was confused. "But my grandpa told me to follow the control system?"
Dugu Bo:... Dante glanced at Dugu Bo and continued, "Exactly! With a tough Physical Body and offensive methods as the core, and using lethal poison as a restrictive auxiliary—that is the path you should be taking."
"Imagine if the version of you who just fought me was an attack system Beast Soul Master; you could have engaged me in close-quarters combat."
"And the moment I accidentally got hit by your Spirit Ability, your poison would have the chance to inject into my body through the surface, and my condition would have rapidly deteriorated."
"Instead of what happened just now, where you only knew how to release poison mist; once I broke through that mist, didn't you lose all means of self-defense?"
Dante's words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly clearing the fog in Dugu Yan's mind!
And the expression with which Dugu Yan looked at Dante now was quite complex.
Dugu Yan suddenly turned her head to look at the silent Dugu Bo, her eyes filled with hope and excitement:
"Grandpa, I think Dante is right! I want to switch to the attack system!"
"Nonsense!"
Dugu Bo's face darkened as he coldly stopped Dugu Yan:
"Yan Yan, what do you know?"
"The path of Cultivation requires step-by-step progress, and even more so, it requires teaching according to aptitude."
"Although you have the Green Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul, your Physique leans towards being soft and feminine; it is not suited for the bold and expansive path of the attack system."
"The control system is the path that suits you best."
"This is also for your own good."
Although Dugu Bo's voice was stern, his tone carried an air of unquestionable resolve.
Dugu Yan was stunned.
Since childhood, she had always listened to her grandpa most, but this time, facing Dante's impeccable theory, she felt doubt about her grandpa's arrangements for the first time.
"But Grandpa..."
"We will talk about this later!"
Dugu Bo waved his hand to interrupt her, clearly not wanting to dwell on this topic any longer.
He turned his head and gave Dante a deep, complex look, speaking in a complicated tone:
"Kid, although your theory is novel, it doesn't apply to everyone."
"There are some things you don't understand."
Watching this scene, Dante wasn't surprised; instead, he became even more certain of his guess.
He calmly put away the God-Slaying Spear and gave Dugu Bo a slight smile:
"Perhaps."
"This Junior was just speaking casually; Excellency Poison Douluo needn't mind."
After speaking, his consciousness summoned the diary.
Since you, old tsundere, refuse to tell the truth, don't blame me for stripping you bare in my diary!
[Tsk tsk, exactly as I expected.]
[Dugu Bo, that old stubborn man, directly rejected Dugu Yan's proposal to switch to the attack system.]
[As a Titled Douluo and someone who has spent his life with the Jade Phosphor Serpent, how could he not know that this Martial Soul is better suited for the attack system?]
[After all, even he himself isn't a control system Titled Douluo, but rather an attack system specialist focused on area attacks.]
[But why does he insist on forcing his granddaughter into the control system to practice those meticulous poison control techniques?]
[Even going as far as to suppress her aggressiveness?]
[Heh, I'm probably the only one who knows the old man's well-intentioned efforts.]
As Dante wrote this, a playful curve hooked the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, the Diary copys in the minds of the three girls vibrated simultaneously. The three shared a subtle glance and immediately concentrated to "peek."
[Actually, the reason is very simple, and quite heartbreaking.]
[Compared to having great strength, Dugu Bo simply wants his granddaughter to live a good life!]
[The backlash of the Green Phosphorus Snake Poison is a curse engraved in their Family Bloodline.]
[The faster they Cultivate, the more toxins accumulate, and the faster they die!]
[If she follows the attack system, she will inevitably have to frequently mobilize the violent power of her Martial Soul, which would accelerate the movement and settling of toxins in her Meridians.]
[Whereas following the control system pursues the meticulous mastery of toxins.]
[This way, Yan Yan can spend more time learning how to suppress the poison within her body rather than stimulating it.]
[Dugu Bo is sacrificing his granddaughter's potential just to extend her life!]
[Unfortunately, this is ultimately treating the symptoms but not the root cause.]
[It's only because Dugu Bo himself reached the level of Titled Douluo and has a powerful Physique that he can barely suppress the toxins and stay alive.]
[But what about Yan Yan?]
[Following this current Cultivation trend, forget about becoming a Titled Douluo—she might not even be able to cross the hurdle of becoming a Spirit Saint.]
[In fact, she likely won't even live past thirty!]
Boom!
These last few words were like a clap of thunder, striking hard against Dugu Yan's heart.
She stood in place, her delicate body trembling violently as she bit her lip hard.
This was the second time Dante had said she wouldn't live past thirty!
