He had coincidentally witnessed the battle between this person and the Flying Griffin, which piqued his interest and made him watch for a while longer, taking in the entire performance.
It could only be described as a marvel; the continuous Teleportation was almost as if he was toying with the seven-thousand-year-old Flying Griffin, appearing completely at ease.
Especially since he hadn't even used any Spirit Abilities, and his spirit power fluctuations were only around level thirty, yet he could achieve this—even as a Titled Douluo, he was shocked.
It was unprecedented; his strength was the most exaggerated he had ever seen among Spirit Masters at level thirty.
His gaze focused on Shi Yu's Eight Spider Lances, the sharp claws on his hands, and the dragon scales.
These were the key factors that allowed the opponent to easily defeat the Flying Griffin.
If he hadn't misjudged, the spider legs on his back and the sharp claws on his hands might all be Spirit Bones, just a bit special, and he couldn't rule out the possibility of them being external Spirit Bones.
As a Titled Douluo, he was well-experienced; although he had never seen an external Spirit Bone before, he knew of their existence.
Thinking of this, even his heart couldn't help but beat faster; if he could acquire it, the benefits it would bring would be unimaginable.
Shi Yu was also observing the old man, with a mix of wariness and familiarity.
The old man's dark green hair was particularly striking, and it reminded him of someone: Dugu Bo.
That Dugu Bo also had dark green hair, was tall and thin, and was a Titled Douluo.
All these characteristics seemed to match the person in front of him, making it highly probable that this person was Dugu Bo.
Shi Yu felt very uncomfortable being stared at with such fervent eyes by the other party, and thinking of his Spirit Bones, his heart tightened—he had been targeted.
"Senior, are you Dugu Bo?" Shi Yu asked proactively, not rushing to escape.
"You know me?" The old man was a bit surprised. He thought back but had no memory of this person; he had never seen him before.
It really is him... Shi Yu nodded naturally and said, "Although this Senior and my family elders live in seclusion in the mountains, I have still heard a little about the deeds of some powerful Spirit Masters outside."
"Especially for Senior, I paid a bit more attention, after all, in the history of our family, there were ancestors who befriended a Senior."
"Therefore, when I heard that a powerful Titled Douluo, the Green Scale Snake Emperor, had appeared on the continent, I paid more attention."
"I know Senior's general appearance and also Senior's name."
These were excuses he had prepared in advance, and speaking them now made them sound very natural.
"So that's how it is," Dugu Bo nodded, looking at Shi Yu with slight curiosity, and said, "What is your family called? Your family's ancestors befriended a Senior; perhaps they were related to my ancestors."
"When I came out for this training, my family elders specifically instructed me not to easily reveal family information. I hope Senior can understand," Shi Yu explained, finding an excuse.
"You don't want to say?" Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous glint.
He didn't immediately attack but carefully sensed his surroundings to see if there were any powerful individuals lurking in the dark.
The abilities this person displayed were extraordinary, and he also had two Spirit Bones. If he truly had a family force behind him, then there was a high chance that powerful individuals were accompanying him on his training.
Before figuring out the opponent's background, acting rashly was not a good idea.
"I'm afraid this Senior cannot reveal it, but what I can say is that I know how to help Senior solve a problem," Shi Yu said, quickly shifting the topic to something Dugu Bo would be interested in.
The old man's gaze wasn't very friendly; he might be waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"What trouble could I have?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but smile, wanting to know what the other party was referring to.
"The poison problem of the Blue Scale Snake Spirit; this is a problem that almost all Senior suffer from. I wonder if Senior has been tormented by it?" Shi Yu said directly.
Dugu Bo's pupils constricted, and his spirit power was momentarily disrupted due to emotional fluctuations.
"How did you know?" Dugu Bo didn't deny it but stared intently at Shi Yu.
"I just mentioned that my family elders befriended a Senior, so naturally, I learned about this matter from that Senior ancestor."
"He told us that all Senior might encounter this kind of trouble, and Senior might be no exception, which is why I asked."
"He has a very good relationship with our family. Not only did he mention this matter, but he also left behind a solution. Is Senior interested in knowing?" Shi Yu said with a light smile.
Dugu Bo didn't answer immediately, only looking at Shi Yu with uncertainty, judging the truthfulness of the other party's words in his heart.
The problem the other party pointed out was real; their Senior were indeed troubled by the Spirit's poison.
He had tried everything and consulted various materials, but he had found no solution.
Now that the other party told him there was a way to solve it, he was surprised but also somewhat disbelieving.
"We are not related, and this is our first meeting. Even if you know the solution, why would you tell me?"
"What is your purpose? Just say it directly," Dugu Bo asked cautiously.
The sudden goodwill made him unwilling to accept it easily.
Shi Yu smiled slightly and said, "Two reasons. The first reason is that Senior is also a Senior."
"After that Senior ancestor, who had deep ties with our family, painstakingly found a solution to the Blue Scale Snake Spirit's poison problem, his only dying wish was to preserve this method."
"He entrusted our family that if we ever encountered a Spirit Master with the Blue Scale Snake Spirit in the future, we should inform them of this method, to save as many Senior as possible."
"He didn't want the poison problem that troubled him for most of his life to trouble other Senior as well."
"Even if those Senior had no blood relation to him, he was willing to share this treatment method for free. After all, everyone has the Blue Scale Snake Spirit, so there's a connection."
"Now that I have encountered Senior, who possesses the Blue Scale Snake Spirit—no, I should say the Green Scale Snake Emperor Spirit—then I should follow that Senior's dying wish and inform you of the solution."
"This purpose is very simple; it's just a pure desire to help Senior."
"Of course, this Senior actually has a small request as well; this is the second reason," Shi Yu said, somewhat embarrassed.
"Tell me," Dugu Bo had been scrutinizing Shi Yu, trying to see if he was lying, but so far, he hadn't found any problems.
What he said even sounded sincere, making him respect that Blue Scale Snake Spirit possessor.
He admitted to himself that he couldn't be as selfless as that Senior, who was willing to share this method for free with other Blue Scale Snake Spirit possessors.
"Some time ago, this Senior had a grudge with a Spirit Saint, and he chased me for a long time."
"This Senior wants to get even, but the elders who secretly protect me will only act if I truly face a life-threatening crisis; otherwise, they won't intervene."
"Even if I shamelessly ask him to help me get even, it's no use, so I can only ask Senior for help."
"I heard that Spirit Saint might go to Heaven Dou City in the next month or two. This place is not far from Heaven Dou City. I hope that if Senior encounters that Spirit Saint in Heaven Dou City at that time, you can help me break his arms."
"But don't kill him; I will personally kill him if I encounter him later."
"Asking Senior to act is just to make him suffer more pain before he dies," Shi Yu said indignantly.
