Chapter 185: 185 Want to give up? It’s not that easy!

"This lad has indeed not disappointed me!"

Yun Xiao, observing from below the stage, couldn’t help but show a satisfied smile as he saw Ling Wan quickly execute the move he had just taught, for it was indeed the special technique he had imparted.

In his past life as Long Xiao Battle God, Yun Xiao had encountered an intriguing person in Nine-layered Dragon Cloud who possessed the Mixed Element Qi and had struck up a good friendship with him. From him, Yun Xiao had learned a few methods to stimulate the Mixed Element Qi.

That top powerhouse from Nine-layered Dragon Cloud was a free-spirited individual, acting entirely against conventional norms, often leaving others dumbfounded with his actions. This recklessness was akin to the temperament of Long Xiao Battle God in his previous life, making them close, best friends.

Some powerful methods, given Ling Wan’s late-stage Meridian Gathering Realm cultivation, were undoubtedly impossible to execute. However, when Yun Xiao thought of the technique to stimulate Mixed Element Qi accidentally devised by that powerhouse, he generously taught it to Ling Wan.

That free-spirited powerhouse from Nine-layered Dragon Cloud never cared much for worldly views. To him, employing "farting" as an offensive method was something quite ordinary.

This was also the reason behind Ling Wan’s hesitation when Yun Xiao taught him this method earlier. There were so many spectators here, even including the three Great Elders. Wasn’t this a bit too indelicate?

However, as Ling Wan stepped onto the stage and faced Shen Xiao’s relentless attacks, he had no reservations. After transforming, he executed this method and reaped unexpected results.

Whether it was Ling Wan on the platform, Yun Xiao below it, or even those spectating Outer Sect talents, all were intently watching Shen Xiao being sent flying back.

Everyone was eager to see whether Shen Xiao would be knocked off the platform by Ling Wan’s unexpected gaseous attack, just as those who faced Ling Wan in the previous rounds, allowing the latter an easy victory.

It turned out that they were overthinking—Shen Xiao was no ordinary Meridian Gathering Realm peak cultivator compared to those Outer Sect talents; he was a genuine early-stage Meridian Rushing Realm Cultivator.

Bang!

Just as Shen Xiao was about to be blasted off the edge, for some reason, his body harshly plummeted slightly, and he abruptly spread his palms to fiercely slap the ground, making a loud noise.

Using the force generated, Shen Xiao finally regained control over his posture although he stumbled a bit after turning around. At this moment, half of Shen Xiao’s foot was already dangling off, nearly causing a major upset. Seeing this, he quickly stepped back onto the platform, but his face was overcast with darkness.

For some unknown reason, even though Ling Wan’s emitted gas didn’t have any particular smell, Shen Xiao felt completely uncomfortable all over his body, as if he had truly been hit by that emitted gas.

Compared to Feng Hang, ranked first on the Mortal List, Shen Xiao was noticeably more somber. He had not even tried to contest the top rank with Feng Hang for a long time, perhaps to let that person become the target of all.

In truth, Shen Xiao’s pride was immensely high, as he always felt everything was under his control. Little did he expect to suffer such a loss to a late-stage Meridian Gathering Realm kid this time.

Almost being knocked off the platform was the first humiliating incident for Shen Xiao at that moment. Under the watchful eyes of the public, to be blasted by a "fart," feeling the unusual gazes from all around him, Shen Xiao wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

All of this, just moments later, was transformed by Shen Xiao into resentment towards Ling Wan. How dare this insignificant lad embarrass him to such an extent, he was literally seeking death.

Seemingly recalling something, Shen Xiao’s gaze swept over someone in the north stands and subtly patted his Waist Storage. In an instant, his entire body charged forward.

"Ling Wan, there’s no chance now!"

Seeing that Shen Xiao wasn’t knocked off the platform by Ling Wan’s surprise "fart" attack, Yun Xiao from below the stage shook his head slightly. After all, the gap between the two was enormous; the moment of cunning had not paid off, and Ling Wan had lost that slight chance of victory.

What Yun Xiao hadn’t anticipated was that because of Ling Wan’s "fart," Shen Xiao had become genuinely enraged, now harboring a killing intent to leave this ignorant plump lad forever on the platform.

Whoosh

Shen Xiao moved extremely fast, and within moments, he was in front of Ling Wan. This time, his moves were merciless; with just a couple of strikes, he had driven Ling Wan into a dire situation.

Sigh...

Under intense pressure, Ling Wan had no choice but to activate the Mixed Element One Qi Body again, but with Shen Xiao prepared, he couldn’t possibly give Ling Wan any opportunities. Moments later, Ling Wan, who had transformed into a meatball, was already appearing wilted.

"Ling Wan, you’re no match for him, admit defeat!"

Sensing that Shen Xiao’s actions were becoming increasingly ruthless, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but voice his concerns from below the platform, and as soon as he spoke, everyone deeply agreed.

Regardless of how strong Ling Wan’s Mixed Element Qi was, after all, there was a Great Rank difference between them—perhaps even larger than the gap Yun Xiao had with Feng Hang before.

The Ling Wan, transformed into a meatball, had naturally also heard Yun Xiao’s loud shout, so he made a split-second decision, bouncing away towards the back under Feng Hang’s attacks.

"Hmph, thinking of surrendering? Not so easy!"

But just when everyone thought Shen Xiao would stop there, this genius ranked second on the Mortal List seemed to have unleashed his nature; after a cold shout, he followed Ling Wan like a shadow.

Seeing this, Yun Xiao’s expression darkened, and even the spectating geniuses were puzzled by Shen Xiao’s actions. Wouldn’t it be pleasing for everyone if Ling Wan were allowed to distance himself and surrender?

These spectating Outer Sect geniuses had no idea that Shen Xiao’s mood had drastically changed the moment he was struck by Ling Wan’s "fart", viewing it as an enormous humiliation. It wasn’t something that could simply be resolved by Ling Wan’s brief surrender.

"Wanting to surrender? You should leave something behind."

Catching up to Ling Wan, Shen Xiao let out another cold shout, the tone carrying a smidge of triumph mixed with a hint of murderous intent, sending shivers down many low-ranking geniuses.

As Shen Xiao’s opponent, Ling Wan also sensed the latter’s murderous intent and took advantage of a critical moment to shout out loud, "I surrender!"

However, just as those three words left Ling Wan’s mouth, the pursuing Shen Xiao quickly reached to his waist storage, and a green jade bottle magically appeared in his hand.

At this sight, Second Elder Fu Du in the northern seat emitted a strange light in his eyes, his expression darkening.

At this moment, while Ling Wan vocally surrendered, his body propelled even faster towards the outskirts of the arena, hoping that once he crossed the boundary, Shen Xiao wouldn’t continue to pursue and attack him.

Ling Wan’s reflexes were indeed quick, but just as he and Yun Xiao thought Shen Xiao couldn’t catch up, that Outer Sect genius ranked second on the Mortal List quickly uncapped the jade bottle and with a wave of his arm, a streak of green hurtled towards Ling Wan’s body as fast as lightning.

"What is that? It looks like liquid!"

The scene was clear to all the geniuses inside and outside the door, as a few drops of green liquid sprayed from Shen Xiao’s jade bottle, which had everyone’s face changing color as they realized what it might be.

"Not good!"

Especially Yun Xiao, whose Power of Soul was strong and who had vast experience, cursed silently the moment he sensed the green liquid and immediately sprang into action.

Hiss! Hiss!

By this time, the majority of the Outer Sect geniuses realized what that substance was because as the few drops of liquid flew through the air, wisps of green smoke eerily began emerging.

"It’s actually a deadly poison, isn’t Shen Xiao being too ruthless?"

Many of the knowledgeable young geniuses no longer doubted, and considering the poison could corrode the air into smoke, one could imagine just how fierce the toxicity was?

Regardless of how fast Ling Wan rebounded, it ultimately wasn’t as quick as the deadly liquid hurled by Shen Xiao. In just a moment, he got hit by two drops of the liquid on his body.

Bang!

It must be said that the deadly substance was incredibly formidable. In just an instant, Ling Wan, a round meatball, crashed harshly into the edge of the arena, only a step away from the boundary.

Hiss! Hiss!

Struck by the poison, Ling Wan’s meatball form quickly shriveled visibly, showing his original shape, but by then, Ling Wan looked rather miserable.

The parts of his clothes that got hit were instantly corroded, followed by green vapors rising from his body, clearly showing his skin was also corroded by the deadly liquid.

"What kind of deadly poison is that, to be so powerful?"

Seeing this, countless Outer Sect geniuses shivered sternly, thinking if such a poison were to hit them, perhaps they would be worse off than Ling Wan?

Swoosh!

Yet just as everyone watched in horror as Ling Wan suffered severely from the corrosion, up on the arena, that Outer Sect genius ranked second on the Mortal List, Shen Xiao, did not slow down his movements, and once again dashed toward Ling Wan.

At this moment, Shen Xiao’s face carried an extreme sense of satisfaction, as the kid who had embarrassed him severely, the little chubby boy who dared to "fart" all over him, finally got what he deserved. Now, let his own palm end this little chubby boy’s life!
