Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

When Yu Tianheng, already in a deep coma, was carried before him on a stretcher, Li Chang'an looked somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected such a small amount of poison to be unresolvable by anyone in the academy.

Was it that his poison was too potent, or were the people in the academy too incompetent?

Seeing the two teachers looking at him expectantly, Li Chang'an naturally wouldn't refuse to help. After all, Yu Tianheng was ultimately from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Even if he wanted to kill him, he couldn't blatantly poison him to death.

Raising his hand, he summoned the Azure Scale Sword and released it. The freed Azure Scale Sword immediately trembled, and the snake pattern on the hilt instantly transformed from an inanimate object into a living creature, as if a small snake had grown out of the sword.

The little snake stretched its neck and bit Yu Tianheng's neck, its two fangs piercing into his blood vessels… Instantly, the blackish-purple color on Yu Tianheng's skin began to fade at a visible rate.

The two teachers breathed a sigh of relief as they watched this scene, feeling fortunate. Before coming, their biggest worry was that Li Chang'an wouldn't be able to remove the poison they had released, and as teachers, they wouldn't be able to save their student. That would be a dereliction of duty and could even incur the wrath and persecution of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Now that they saw Li Chang'an easily removing the poison, they were relieved.

Soon, Yu Tianheng's skin regained its flesh color, and there was no trace of poisoning.

The little venomous snake that had bitten his neck released its mouth, retracted back to the hilt, coiled itself, and turned back into an engraved pattern.

"Alright, the poison has been removed."

Li Chang'an withdrew his martial soul and said casually, "You two teachers can check to see if there are any residual toxins."

After a simple check.

After confirming that Yu Tianheng's poison had been removed, the two teachers thanked him and left with the unconscious Yu Tianheng.

Li Chang'an watched as the unconscious Yu Tianheng was carried away, a dark glint flashing in his black pupils. He wouldn't let this guy who plotted against him off so easily.

On the surface, it seemed that he had removed all of Yu Tianheng's poison, but in reality, he had taken the opportunity to inflict another kind of poison, hidden deep within his bone marrow.

It was a poison derived from the "Nine Infants"!

It had one characteristic: concealment, making it extremely difficult to detect.

This type of poison would usually not flare up but would lie dormant, waiting for his command.

To discover this extremely well-hidden poison, unless a god-level expert used their divine sense for a detailed scan, or the poisoned person was very strong, at least a Titled Douluo… and also had a deep control over themselves, otherwise, don't even think about discovering it.

And most importantly, he could control this poison remotely.

With such a poison hidden in Yu Tianheng's body, his life was now in Li Chang'an's hands. Whenever he wanted to kill him, he only needed to control this hidden poison to infiltrate his brain or some other important place… creating the illusion that he died from cultivation deviation was very simple.

"Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianheng, if you hadn't provoked me, I wouldn't have bothered with you. But who told you to dare to covet Yanzi and stab me in the back… Hmph, then you can't blame me."

Li Chang'an's gaze was grim. He didn't plan to kill Yu Tianheng just like that because it would be too abrupt.

Soul Master cultivation is nothing more than meditating and absorbing external soul power. There are no specific cultivation methods, so the probability of cultivation deviation is very low, unless the martial soul itself has defects.

If Yu Tianheng, who was perfectly fine, suddenly died from cultivation deviation, anyone with a normal IQ would find something wrong.

So, to make his death reasonable, either he would take advantage of his battle to secretly control the residual poison to interfere with him, causing him to be killed by his opponent due to a "distraction" mistake, or he would take advantage of his absorption of a soul ring to control the residual poison to interfere with the absorption, causing him to directly fail to absorb the soul ring and explode to death.

The above two methods were the most foolproof.

But Li Chang'an didn't plan to use any of them, because recalling what Yu Tianheng did to Yanzi in the original work, he felt that he couldn't let this guy off so easily. Death would be the end of it all.

Letting him suffer while alive was the best punishment for him.

So, Li Chang'an decided to let that trace of dark poison lurk in Yu Tianheng's body first, and then slowly develop and grow by devouring his life energy and soul power daily… As time passed, that trace of weak residual poison would constantly erode his origin, shortening his lifespan and reducing his talent. The speed of his soul power improvement would be as slow as a snail…

This trace of dark poison would be like a parasite, constantly drawing on everything Yu Tianheng had to strengthen itself.

In this way, Yu Tianheng, who was originally a genius, would experience what it was like to be in despair! From being gifted to becoming mediocre… that was the best punishment for him!

"Huh, in this case, it seems I can use this method of planting poison in others to prevent subordinates from betraying me, or to cultivate subordinates!"

Li Chang'an suddenly had a whimsical idea.

The Nine Infants' poison was a very special poison, like an independent life form, not only controlled by him, the master, but also able to consciously devour the life force, soul power, etc. of others to strengthen itself.

Once it parasitized in the human body, it would be like a parasite, strengthening itself by absorbing the host's "nutrition."

Moreover, this process was controllable. As the master, Li Chang'an could completely control the "poison" to lie dormant without flaring up, waiting for the right opportunity to detonate it.

In this way, wouldn't it be equivalent to installing a time bomb in the other party's body?

Once it was confirmed that the other party had betrayed him, Li Chang'an could immediately detonate the poison lurking in their body and kill them!

Thinking of this, Li Chang'an touched his chin, pondering, "It's very promising!"

In addition, the wonderful use of "poison" is actually more than that.

It has been said before that poison can devour the host's life force and soul power to strengthen itself.

Then, conversely, poison can naturally sacrifice itself to replenish the host's life origin and strengthen soul power, etc.

In short, whether it is harmful or beneficial depends entirely on the will of Li Chang'an as the master. There is too much room for manipulation.

Li Chang'an discovered that the Nine Infants' poison, if used well, is really wonderfully useful!

It can serve as a panacea to reward subordinates, and it can also be a knife hanging around the neck that can take people's lives at any time…

"Developing subordinates on the human side, with my current age and identity, is a bit unsuitable. It's better to test the waters on the soul beast side first and cultivate a group of soul beast minions first."

Li Chang'an thought, realizing that it was really not good for him to develop his power in a big way on the human side with his identity, because it was too easy to attract the attention of the Tiandou Emperor and Qian Renxue.

Instead of racking his brains to maneuver among the major forces and painstakingly develop his power to recruit minions, it was better to focus on improving his strength. When his strength was strong enough, he would have more say.

When the time came to recruit minions and build some power, wouldn't it be a simple matter?

Why bother doing these things that easily put himself in danger when he is still weak now?

First, develop wretchedly and keep a low profile.

When he becomes a Titled Douluo, or even a god in the future.

Wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wants?

There is no need to eagerly develop some power now, that would be too reckless.
