Chapter 1887: Persistence Is Completely Meaningless!

“Hua… Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage?!”

Even Lu Zhanbai, who was beside Xiang Wenyuan, exclaimed in shock at the aura erupting from Mo Han at this moment. This exclamation also confirmed the crowd’s sensing was not mistaken; he truly is a Dragon Academy genius who had reached the Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage.

Previously among the young talents beneath this Xuanyuan Cliff, there had been none who could reach this level. Even the Third Young Master of Lu Family, Lu Zhanbai, and Wu Jiantong of the Holy Doctor Alliance were only at the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage.

“As expected of someone from Dragon Academy!”

Feeling Mo Han’s Meridian Qi, which was more than twice as powerful as his own, Lu Zhanbai couldn’t help but feel a surge of heat in his eyes, and his yearning for Dragon Academy deepened even further.

Due to Lu Qinwan’s connections, the geniuses of the Emperor Canglong Palace and Lu Family occasionally exchanged skills, but it was limited to mutual sparring. Certainly, the geniuses of Dragon Academy dare not privately impart their academy’s ultimate techniques.

Thus, Lu Zhanbai constantly thought of truly joining Dragon Academy. Doing so might allow him to stand on equal footing with the geniuses of Emperor Canglong Palace, perhaps even granting him a chance to soar into the skies.

As for the other young talents, they only held reverence for Mo Han and also harbored a trace of dread, thinking that this session of the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting might see the fifth talent of Dragon Academy claim the top spot.

Though the crowd felt unwilling over such a result, they had mentally prepared, for in several consecutive Xuanyuan Platform Meetings, the final victor claiming the top spot had always been a genius from the Emperor Canglong Palace.

Over time, should any session not see a genius from the Emperor Canglong Palace win, it would feel peculiar, and the victorious talent might even feel uneasy.

Because this clearly would be a slap to the Emperor Canglong Palace’s face, though the Palace might not openly seek recompense, offending a top talent of the palace may bring great trouble to one’s sect family.

Some talents, upon sensing Mo Han’s Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage cultivation, fell silent for the white-clothed youth named Yun Xing, thinking that this lad might get into serious trouble.

Even the trio of Wu Jiantong, Duan Wuwei couldn’t help but sweat for Yun Xiao, wondering if Yun Xing could still stand tall under such an intimidating genius’s influence.

“I say, you’re a noble genius from Emperor Canglong Palace and have reached the Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage, yet your ears aren’t functioning? Or perhaps… you can’t understand human speech?”

Just when everyone thought Yun Xiao would concede under Mo Han’s mid-stage Hua Xuan Realm aura, surprise arose as such a remark emerged from the mouth of this white-clothed youth.

Yun Xiao’s words brimmed with unrestrained mockery, particularly the last sentence, leaving no face. Indeed, this already tore the facade to pieces.

The reason was that a Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage genius from Emperor Canglong Palace did not give Yun Xiao much apprehension. He was confident that, if he went all out, he might have a chance to triumph in battle.

As for the Guardian Hou Weiliang, having reached the Hua Xuan Realm Late Stage, Yun Xiao thought escaping wouldn’t pose significant problems, hence his assertive demeanor at this moment.

“You… how bold!”

This time, Mo Han could no longer maintain his composed demeanor. Since emerging from the stone house, he harbored a hint of arrogance and an aloof stance, little realizing he’d be undercut so quickly.

Mo Han is the fifth genius of Dragon Academy, and in the absence of other top talents from Emperor Canglong Palace, he considered himself the strongest in the field, deserving everyone’s respect.

Who knew that a newcomer like Yun Xing would not only disregard his identity and powers but seemingly engage in deliberate provocation.

This was beyond merely slapping Mo Han’s face; it was striking a blow against the entire Emperor Canglong Palace. Mo Han knew if he couldn’t reclaim the scene today, even the palace’s renown might plummet in these young talents’ minds.

In truth, it was Mo Han’s pride causing this turmoil. Even if ridiculed by Yun Xing, it did not undermine the palace’s dominance.

Yet before the Xuanyuan Platform today, aside from the Guardian, Mo Han was the sole representative of Emperor Canglong Palace. He symbolized the palace’s face, and ignoring him equated to ignoring the palace. How could he swallow that?

“I said before, the poison afflicting Xiang Wenyuan, even if your Empress Lu Qinwan came personally, she might not be able to neutralize it. So don’t waste your efforts!”

Yun Xiao ignored Mo Han’s furious expression, reiterating his previous words. Upon hearing this again, everyone’s moods varied.

Earlier, when Yun Xiao spoke these words, people thought him boastful. However, facing the Dragon Academy genius Mo Han and the Guardian of Emperor Canglong Palace, speaking this way likely signified immense confidence.

Although these people still didn’t believe that even Emperor Canglong couldn’t cure the poison, that person ultimately wasn’t here, and at least they didn’t think Mo Han, who wasn’t a Meridian Refining Master, had any means to lift such a poison.

Originally, they thought once Mo Han appeared, that guy named Yun Xing would have to give some face no matter what, but who would have thought he would be so strong, not even caring for Emperor Canglong Palace; his demeanor made many secretly admire him.

After all, in today’s Nine-layered Dragon Cloud Human Territory, dare not to give face to Emperor Canglong Palace, are certainly rare, at this moment, some people couldn’t help but believe Yun Xing is actually the remnant descendant of the Four Great Families.

Otherwise, how could someone dare to go against Emperor Canglong Palace? Isn’t this putting their sect family into a dangerous situation?

Perhaps only families like the Four Great Families, which were long extinct, with only a few remnants desperately holding on, would be so fearless, because no matter how respectful they are to Emperor Canglong Palace, this behemoth will not spare them.

“Xiang Wenyuan, this is the third time I’ve asked you to leave, my patience is limited!”

After saying that, Yun Xiao paid no more attention to Mo Han, whose face was gloomy, but instead turned his gaze back to the genius of Mixed Element Valley. As he spoke, Xiang Wenyuan couldn’t help but tremble violently.

“Ah!”

At the same time, the genius of Mixed Element Valley suddenly let out a piercing scream, apparently suffering endless pain, a kind of pain that even Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage cultivation couldn’t endure.

It seemed Yun Xiao had truly lost his patience with these consecutive changes, since Xiang Wenyuan believed he still had a savior, then let’s use facts to prove those so-called saviors were all just for show.

One Thought to Transform Myriad Poisons may have been Little Dragon’s specialty, but now that the poison had been applied to his enemy, Yun Xiao could naturally easily control its outbreak, like at this moment.

When those toxins raged throughout Xiang Wenyuan’s body, he felt his entire body was unbearably itchy, yet he had no strength to scratch, not to mention, even if he could scratch, he couldn’t possibly scratch at his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, could he?

Bang!

The extreme pain left Xiang Wenyuan without the strength to hover in the sky, crashing into the solid ground below, causing a few geniuses there to scramble to dodge, fearful of being touched by that terrifying poison.

Joking aside, if even a super genius at early stage of Hua Xuan Realm couldn’t withstand that poison’s erosion, wouldn’t a Heavenly Realm Peak genius simply be doomed upon contact?

In fact, if Yun Xiao at this moment really wanted to kill Xiang Wenyuan, it would only take a thought, but he needed to keep this guy’s life, after all, the Ling Wan was still in the Mixed Element Valley with an unknown fate.

“I… I…”

The prideful Xiang Wenyuan, still in a daze after the fall, his arrogance preventing him from crawling to Yun Xiao and begging for mercy. Thus he struggled to endure the pain within his body, yet couldn’t make that decision.

“Xiang Wenyuan, let me tell you, the poison within you won’t easily kill you nor let you pass out. If I wish, you will suffer through this pain for a year; there’s no point in enduring it!”

As Xiang Wenyuan’s mind was tangled with conflict, Yun Xiao’s cold voice once again reached him. When he heard the words “a year”, many shivered, as if feeling their own bodies beginning to itch as well.

For some reason, at this moment, Mo Han of Emperor Canglong Palace didn’t speak a word for Xiang Wenyuan, his gaze sweeping over Xuanyuan Platform above, perhaps with other plans.

“How about it? Do you want me to see how much backbone a Mixed Element Valley genius truly has?”

Yun Xiao seemed indifferent, continuing his dialogue as usual, and these words finally shattered the psychological defenses of the Mixed Element Valley genius.

Honestly, a ruthless person like Xiang Wenyuan might not fear death, but sometimes there are things far more terrifying than death.

This pain, not to mention lasting for a year, even if it continued for 15 minutes, Xiang Wenyuan would scratch himself bloody and raw; he knew for sure such a scenario would happen.

Since ultimately he couldn’t withstand it, why bother resisting? As Yun Xiao said, even if Xiang Wenyuan wanted to end his life now, he definitely couldn’t achieve it.

“I… I surrender, please… please give me the antidote!”

Thus, in the next moment, everyone present witnessed an incredibly poignant scene, the renowned genius of Mixed Element Valley, Xiang Wenyuan, painfully crawled on the ground towards Yun Xing.
