Chapter 53: The Poisonous Hidden Weapon
On the martial arts stage, on one side was a handsome man wearing a golden armor that shone brightly, and on the other side was a mature woman wearing a tight-fitting dress that accentuated her enchanting curves. Although she was only in her teenage years, she had become an extraordinary beauty with outstanding elegance, and also had a head of beautiful and unusual white hair that was very eye-catching.
What made Shen Xiang feel unbelievable was that the prince, Song Nanming, actually looked at You Linger with a resentful gaze. Shen Xiang was certain that there must be some kind of grudge between them.
"You guys know that the prince once proposed to Leng Yulan, but she rejected him. And because he got physical with her, she even slapped him in the face." someone said.
"It's said that Leng Youlan even kicked the prince in the lower body, crippling him. Afterwards, they spent a lot of spirit money to buy good spiritual medicine." A middle-aged man chuckled and said.
"Haha, this is getting interesting."
Shen Xiang did not expect Leng Youlan to be so bold and dare to treat Song Nanming like that.
As soon as the martial arts competition began, Leng Youlan transformed into a black shadow and sprang up onto the stage, her exceptional lightness skill allowing her to move at high speed. She darted around the stage, occasionally slapping or kicking towards Song Nanming, but he dodged or blocked each attack.
Song Nanming's strength was not bad, but compared to Leng Youlan, he was much weaker. Leng Youlan was a person with both ice and fire meridians, able to merge the true energy of ice and fire together, condensing it into a powerful and eerie true energy.
Song Nanming was able to block it, but Leng Youlan's true energy had a significant impact on him, making his body feel hot and cold at the same time. He couldn't attack Leng Youlan because her speed was too fast.
"Ling Yu Lan definitely doesn't have good martial arts skills, the only thing she can use is this quick movement of lightness skill." Su Mei Yao said: "Because she is an Ice Fire True Qi, suitable martial arts are scarce for her, so she can only fight in this way, and not let herself get hurt. Her opponents don't even have a chance to touch her, this girl is still quite clever."
Shen Xiang cultivates the Heartless True Qi, but he can use a single attribute of True Qi independently. However, Leng Youlan cannot; whenever she uses her True Qi, she must use two attributes simultaneously, making it unpredictable and sometimes cold, sometimes hot. This aspect of her martial arts is extremely rare, to the point where it's almost non-existent. This is also one of Leng Youlan's greatest frustrations - although her True Qi is formidable, there aren't many good martial arts techniques that can bring out its full potential.
Song Nanming was unable to attack Leng Youlan and couldn't help but get angry. He knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely lose.
At this moment, Shen Xiang saw a faint flash of light on the martial arts stage, his eyesight was extremely good, even if it was the legs of ants on the martial arts stage he could see clearly.
Shen Xiang saw several transparent needles suddenly shoot out from the cuff of Song Nanming's sleeve.
"It's an ice needle!" Shen Xiang cursed inwardly, and at this moment he heard Leng Youlan let out a cold and clear cry. He saw Leng Youlan suddenly cover her abdomen, her face full of anger as she stared at Song Nanming.
Song Nanming sneered and took a step forward, his leg gathering true energy as he suddenly kicked out with a powerful kick that struck Leng Youlan's abdomen, sending her petite body flying backward.
Ling Yu Lan let out a delicate cry and flew off the arena, but she managed to stand steadily. However, her jade-like hands covering her abdomen were covered in fresh blood.
"You... you despicable guy!" Cold and elegant Lan Beir's teeth were about to shatter, her eyes full of resentment as she waited for Song Nanming on the martial arts stage.
"You're not as skilled as others, so you scold me for being despicable?" Song Nanming said with a cold smile.
Ling Yu Lan opened her palm, and there was still blood flowing from her abdomen, but there was nothing else, only a thread of coldness. She quickly realized that it was the Ice Needle, which had already melted.
Shen Xiang walked up and took out some medicinal powder and an antidote pill, saying in a deep voice: "Be careful, the ice needle is poisonous."
Leng Youlan looked at what Shen Xiang was holding in his hand and couldn't help but pause for a moment, lightly biting her lip, and said softly: "Thank you!"
"Don't worry, I'll make this guy pay the price." Shen Xiang smiled slightly at her.
Ling Yu Lan sighed softly: "My hopes of entering the Wudao Gate have been shattered, thank you, Shen Gongzi, for the gift of medicine."
Shen Xiang understood that Leng Youlan could only enter those sects to find a suitable martial art for her, but now she had lost.
"Little one, give her a Golden Spirit Fruit and let her go to the Taiwu Gate. With her rare Ice and Fire Dual Pulse, the Taiwu Gate will definitely accept her." Su Meiyao said.
Shen Xiang was taken aback, looking at Leng Youlan's face with a hint of anger.
"Tell her, if Tai Wu Men doesn't accept her, then let her take the Golden Spirit Fruit out and exchange it for a chance to take the test." This was Bai Yu Yu's voice. They were all women, and Leng You Lan was a good seedling, so they naturally hoped that Leng You Lan would achieve something in the future.
Shen Xiang said in a low voice: "Leng girl, the poison of the ice needle may be very serious, please go to Dan Wang Ge and let the Dan Wang inside check it carefully."
On the martial arts stage, Song Nanming gritted his teeth and stared at Shen Xiang and Leng Youlan. He didn't hear what Shen Xiang said, but he saw Shen Xiang showing affection to Leng Youlan, which made him secretly resentful.
Shen Xiang's affection for Leng Youlan is also a normal human emotion, one being a renowned young genius and the other an exceptionally beautiful girl at the seventh level of the Ordinary Martial Realm, it's only natural that they would have mutual affections.
Ling Yu Lan nodded and followed Shen Xiang away. She was also worried that the Ice Needle might be poisonous, which would lead to her death.
On the third floor of Danwang Pavilion, Meng Bo's face was full of anger and he said: "What a ruthless poison! This is a kind of poison that can stay in the body for a long time. Most people who are poisoned will not show symptoms until several months or even a year later."
"Don't worry, little girl. This poison is potent, but if it's discovered, it can be easily eliminated." Meng Bo chuckled and took out a white pill: "This is a high-grade White Heart Pill, which can remove this toxin."
Leng Youlan found out that Song Nanming used such a vicious method to deal with her, and her face was full of indignation!
She looked at Meng Bo's hand holding the dan pill and asked softly: "How many Grand Spirit Coins are needed?"
"It's free, just take it." Shen Xiang handed over the medicine and passed it to her.
Meng Bo hehe smiled and left with a hint of understanding.
Ling Yu Lan's eyes were complex as she looked at Shen Xiang: "Why do you want to help me?" Although she asked this, she guessed that Shen Xiang had taken a liking to her beauty. However, she also knew that Shen Xiang had a fiancée and was taken away by those martial arts sects, his natural talent could be imagined.
Shen Xiang smiled and said: "Nothing, just want to make some friends!"
Ling Yu Lan took the medicine and swallowed it, then smiled at Shen Xiang, her smile as radiant as a peony flower blooming, leaving Shen Xiang staring blankly.
"I really didn't expect that I could be friends with a genius alchemist like you, this is truly my honor." Leng Youlan's face improved a lot, and she said softly: "Thank you, Shen Gongzi!"
Shen Xiang shook his head and said, "Nothing, this is a Golden Spirit Fruit, you take it."
Although Leng Youlan wasn't very familiar with Dan medicine, she had heard of Jinling fruit. This was also the signature spirit medicine of Danwang Pavilion, but she hadn't expected Shen Xiang to give it to her.
