Chapter 204: 204 Treat others the way they treat you!

"No, this can’t be true!"

It seemed that Shen Xiao could not accept the outcome, a ferocious expression broke out on his face. However, the next moment, a familiar figure appeared before him, who else could it be if not Yun Xiao?

To be honest, Yun Xiao also let out a huge sigh of relief at this moment. He wasn’t entirely certain that the Body Meridian Technique would succeed just now, but luckily the final result was quite satisfactory to him.

This was a Body Meridian Technique Yun Xiao had accidentally obtained in his previous life in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, named "Ghost Trace Step". With the word "Ghost Trace" in its name, it meant that when this movement technique was executed, one’s presence was ghost-like, preventing the enemy from even touching a corner of one’s clothing.

Today, Yun Xiao was using Ghost Trace Step not to fight against Shen Xiao, but to dodge the sixteen swinging Hammer Shadows; undoubtedly, the gaps between the Hammer Shadows had become his opportunity.

Indeed, as the thought crossed the minds of several elders, the strength of the Ghost Trace Step movement technique was formidable. However, had it been executed by a Cultivator at the peak of the Meridian Gathering Realm, they probably would have already been smashed into meat mush by the sixteen Hammer Shadows.

Thankfully, Long Xiao Battle God’s soul was incredibly tenacious, and with his experience from his past life using Ghost Trace Step, Yun Xiao managed to survive this ordeal.

Moreover, having broken through the Hammer Shadow array, Yun Xiao did not hesitate at all. As Shen Xiao stood astonished, Yun Xiao swiftly moved in front of him, aiming to seize the chance and secure the victory in this final battle.

Swoosh...

Swoosh...

Both of Yun Xiao’s hands were raised; on his right hand, a blood-red flame danced without any wind, like a lively sprite of fire; on his left hand, however, ice blossoms were spreading, appearing extremely mysterious.

For this new Outer Disciple of Jade Pot Sect, harboring both Ice and Fire Attributes within his body was no longer a secret, but every time Yun Xiao employed these two Attributes simultaneously, they still profoundly shocked everyone.

For instance, at this moment, when Yun Xiao unleashed both Ice and Fire Dual Attributes, many discreetly glanced in a certain direction. They all wanted to see whether Shen Xiao’s fate would be the same as Feng Hang’s from yesterday.

One had to admit that Shen Xiao was quick to react, thanks to his strong Soul. As the Ice Cold Qi and fiery heat rushed at him, he sensed imminent danger, knowing that if either of these two energies touched him, it would likely result in a dire end.

The lesson from Feng Hang made Shen Xiao dare not come into contact with Yun Xiao’s Ice and Fire energy. Seeing this, he swiftly dodged to the left and then a ruthless light flashed in his eyes as his right hand swept across his Waist Storage.

"What’s that?"

The spectators did not see clearly what Shen Xiao had taken out from the Waist Storage, but they observed a blue light flaring. Soon after, a subtle Cold Qi seemed to be emanating from Shen Xiao’s right hand.

"Little bastard, die!"

Shen Xiao, unlike the onlookers, had no such thoughts. With Yun Xiao forcing him into such a corner, he had no intention of holding back. Moreover, he was extremely confident in the contents of the Jade Bottle in his hand; if Yun Xiao carelessly came into contact, the end would undoubtedly be death and obliteration.

But just as Shen Xiao uncapped the Jade Bottle and began to sprinkle some sinister substance towards Yun Xiao, the latter also reached towards his waist.

Swish!

A black glint flashed, and Yun Xiao’s action mirrored Shen Xiao’s exactly, also retrieving a Jade Bottle from the Waist Storage and uncapping it to toss its contents towards Shen Xiao.

A streak of freezing light and a streak of black light seemed to cross paths, and despite the close proximity and the watching eyes, neither Shen Xiao nor Yun Xiao on the platform could avoid each other’s bizarre methods in time.

When Elder Fu Du of the Great Elder seat in the north saw Yun Xiao hit by that streak of Cold Light, a flash of satisfaction streaked through his old eyes; he knew then that his plan this time should be successful.

All the onlookers beneath the platform, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but recall Shen Xiao’s actions against Ling Wan yesterday. They had reason to believe that the Cold Light Shen Xiao had thrown out today was probably also an extremely potent Ice Cold Poison.

But what was that black light that Yun Xiao had thrown? Some of the more observant people seemed to remember the words Yun Xiao had said as he stepped down from the platform yesterday, and at this moment, they became rather contemplative.

Hiss...

Crack...

Atop the arena, two utterly different sounds simultaneously arose just as Yun Xiao and Shen Xiao were each struck by that strange object.

Where Yun Xiao was struck, precisely at the bend of his left elbow, faint ice flowers could be seen spreading rapidly. In just a moment, they froze his left arm into an ice arm.

Witnessing this scene, everyone understood that the thing flung from Shen Xiao’s Jade Bottle must be some type of Ice Cold Poison. Seeing how intense the Ice Cold Attribute was, they knew just how deadly the Ice Cold Poison must be.

On the other hand, where Shen Xiao was struck was rather critical. A smear of black liquid had splashed precisely on his left chest. In just an instant, it corroded through his clothing, infecting his chest skin.

"Ah!"

A piercing scream emanated from Shen Xiao’s mouth, followed by black smoke rising from his chest, allowing everyone to know he must be enduring exceedingly intense pain.

While everyone was pondering Shen Xiao’s cry of pain, another figure atop the arena, Yun Xiao, whose left arm had turned into an ice arm, took several steps forward. Then, with a ferocious kick, he struck Shen Xiao’s back.

At this moment, Shen Xiao, ravaged by the pitch-black poison, was in no state to defend against Yun Xiao’s kick. The force of the kick was so strong that it sent Shen Xiao flying forward, even outside the bounds of the arena.

It was unclear whether it was a coincidence or Yun Xiao’s intention, but directly below where Shen Xiao flew out of the arena stood a somewhat familiar chubby youngster—who else could it be but Ling Wan, the second dark horse of this Outer Sect tournament?

Bang!

Shen Xiao, who had been flung into the air, tainted with poison and unable to control his own body, plummeted headfirst right before Ling Wan and couldn’t get up no matter what.

Seeing this unfold, many felt a chill in their hearts and cast an awe-filled glance at the ruggedly dressed youth still standing in the arena.

The Shen Xiao of yesterday was so impressive. On the arena, he used the extremely toxic polar yin tuber to render Ling Wan unconscious, thus securing the victory of that battle.

Many disdained Shen Xiao’s methods but held their tongues. In the fight for the arena, no holds are barred; every means is employed to seize the final victory.

Yet in just one day, the once glorious Shen Xiao was repaid in his own coin by Yun Xiao, not only suffering from an unknown intense poison but also brutally kicked in front of Ling Wan as if prostrating in an earth-concealing plea for mercy.

All these events indicated that Yun Xiao was a ruthless man who bore hatred for evil. Whoever provoked him or his friends and relatives might end up just as pitifully as Shen Xiao.

However, when everyone’s gaze shifted back to Yun Xiao, they saw the ruggedly dressed youth with a grave expression. His left arm, frozen solid, seemed to be threatened by the upward spreading of the Ice Cold Poison.

At this point in the arena battle, the outcome was presumably decided—Shen Xiao, having been knocked out of the arena and screaming, didn’t truly feel like a victory for Yun Xiao in the hearts of the onlookers.

Because at that moment, with the Ice Cold Poison unresolved within Yun Xiao, no one knew how deadly the poison really was—if Yun Xiao couldn’t neutralize it and succumbed, what would be the significance of such a victory?

For a while, the entire arena hall fell into a peculiar silence, as all the young geniuses seemed to await an unforeseeable outcome.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Right when the arena was filled with nothing but the cries of Shen Xiao, three swooshing sounds resonated at the central main arena. Subsequently, the crowd saw three elderly figures appear atop the main arena.

These three figures were not too unfamiliar to the crowd—they were the true powerholders of the Jade Pot Sect, including the Great Elder Lu Zhan and Second Elder Fu Du, who were leaders of their respective factions.

Their appearance was a bit odd; they paid no heed to Shen Xiao, who was wailing beneath the arena, and instead, they all flew to Yun Xiao’s side. This hinted at some implications.

Some astutely minded geniuses guessed the intentions of the three Elders—that after Yun Xiao forcefully toppled Shen Xiao from the arena, his importance in the eyes of these Elders had far surpassed any other Outer Sect prodigies.

Now that the Outer Sect tournament had officially concluded, what followed was the covert struggle between the Poison Vein and Medical Pulse factions of the Inner Sect vying for the resources of the new disciples.

Undoubtedly, Yun Xiao was the biggest dark horse of this Outer Sect tournament, not only did he unseat the top-ranked Feng Hang of the Mortal List, but he also defeated Shen Xiao, whose strength was not inferior to Feng Hang, in the final battle and won this Outer Sect tournament.

However, this championship came at a high cost for Yun Xiao, who might not even be able to save his own life—if the Ice Cold Poison was too overwhelming for even the Great Elders, his victory would doubtlessly become a tragedy.

Regardless, Yun Xiao’s displayed talent and temperament garnered the Great Elders’ respect. With their own motives, they flew to the arena at the first opportunity; their primary goal was to detoxify Yun Xiao—for only then would other matters qualify for discussion.
