Chapter 1891: State of Mind

“Detoxification Pearl, truly a long-lost feeling!”

While everyone was mourning for Yun Xiao, his thoughts as the person involved were considerably different from others. His face showed an unusual expression because this Detoxification Pearl had an extraordinary significance to him.

The marital bond he once shared with Lu Qinwan had long since dissipated with Emperor Canglong’s spear. Seeing the Detoxification Pearl they created together, Yun Xiao was filled with reflection.

It’s laughable that Mo Han thought of using the Detoxification Pearl to deal with Yun Xiao; that would be akin to clumsy work, for to Yun Xiao, there were no secrets in this Detoxification Pearl.

However, from another perspective, the current Detoxification Pearl was vastly different from when it was first created, for it had absorbed more bizarre and potent poisons.

Such a Detoxification Pearl, even if Lu Qinwan oversaw it herself, would likely pose a challenge.

Unfortunately, the reincarnated Yun Xiao had long since become immune to hundreds of poisons; even if there were Holy Rank poisons within, with the Little Dragon by his side, they wouldn’t affect him in the slightest.

For a moment, the sky under the Xuanyuan Platform fell into a brief silence as nearly everyone awaited the moment Yun Xing would succumb to the poison, a seemingly inevitable event.

“What are you waiting for?”

After a while, the white-clad youth spoke first, not a tremble in his voice, finally drawing everyone back to reality. The situation seemed different from what they had imagined.

“You don’t really believe I’ll be poisoned to death by this Detoxification Pearl, do you?”

Yun Xiao spoke with feeling, seeing the expression on those geniuses’ faces, waiting for him to be poisoned and die, but how could this mere Holy Rank Low Level Detoxification Pearl harm him?

“No! You can’t be unpoisoned!”

Compared to the spectating geniuses below, Mo Han, the owner of the Detoxification Pearl, couldn’t accept this result. The Detoxification Pearl contained poison that even he couldn’t resist.

Mo Han believed that even Lu Zhanbai, the Holy Rank Low Level Poison Vein Master, would find these strange, mixed poisons overwhelming.

Regardless of Mo Han’s disbelief, the white-clad youth standing-lone was calm and unperturbed, showing no signs of poisoning; such a demeanor couldn’t be faked by sheer will alone.

If Yun Xiao were merely maintaining composure while poisoned, he wouldn’t appear as relaxed as he seemed, as telltale signs would show on his face and skin.

But now, from Yun Xiao’s appearance, Mo Han saw no signs of poisoning; as he held the Detoxification Pearl and spoke boldly, he resembled a superior pointing out the realm.

“Why? You seem a bit incredulous?”

Mo Han’s low growl naturally reached Yun Xiao’s ears, prompting him to chuckle softly and then exert force with his right hand, unexpectedly crushing the Detoxification Pearl.

Puff!

The Detoxification Pearl’s material was unknown, yet Yun Xiao’s forceful grip emitted a gentle sound, followed by green energy spilling out, seemingly enveloping Yun Xiao’s right hand.

“Detoxification Pearl, what a big name, but merely so!”

Yun Xiao, who had just been chuckling, suddenly turned cold and stern, waving his right hand gently, sending green strands shooting out towards Mo Han, who still disbelieved.

“Not good!”

Mo Han’s expression changed slightly as he saw the green toxic light shooting toward him, familiar with the Detoxification Pearl’s poison, as the owner, undeniably knowing it well.

Despite Yun Xiao’s calm demeanor under the Detoxification Pearl’s influence, self-awareness prompted Mo Han, the Detoxification Pearl’s owner, to evade hastily.

Yun Xiao’s casual poison retaliation couldn’t truly harm Mo Han; as his silhouette flickered, he adeptly avoided the emerald toxins.

This scene bewildered the crowd, leaving them puzzled; why didn’t Mo Han dare to let even the slightest contact with the energy from the very Detoxification Pearl he deployed?

Mo Han and Yun Xiao’s responses clearly showed their disparity: Yun Xiao was as calm as flowing water, while Mo Han was evasive and somber; was this dynamic between a superior and a lower ranker still normal?

“Ah!”

As most compared the two’s reactions and felt peculiar, a startled cry suddenly echoed, drawing everyone’s gaze that way, and their expressions subtly changed.

It turns out that the energy fragments from the Detoxification Pearl didn’t disappear after Mo Han flashed by, but fell downward where several Heavenly Realm Peak talents were standing in mid-air.

The poisonous energy from the Detoxification Pearl came very quickly; only Mo Han’s quick reaction could avoid it, but those talents at Heavenly Realm Peak weren’t so lucky.

As countless poisonous energies were about to strike, these talents at Heavenly Realm Peak felt despair. That was Mo Han’s Detoxification Pearl, and they absolutely couldn’t withstand such a poison.

Seeing the talents who were severely injured under the handprint earlier, these talents didn’t expect Mo Han to give out an antidote; wouldn’t it mean their lives are at risk?

Puff, puff, puff…

Just as these Heavenly Realm Peak talents were in despair, the poisonous energies that were about to hit them suddenly exploded at this critical moment.

Moreover, these explosive poisonous energies all dissipated into mist without contaminating the skin of these talents, making them secretly feel grateful.

“It’s Yun Xing, he’s ultimately different from Mo Han!”

The powerful soul of Wu Jiantong, upon sensing the fluctuations of explosive poisonous energy, turned his gaze to a certain white-clothed young man, openly expressing a hint of mockery towards Mo Han and some relief towards Yun Xiao.

After all, he is a Medical Pulse Master, compassionate and saving countless lives, naturally unwilling to see those innocent talents die from poisoning.

Fortunately, the young man named Yun Xing did not disappoint him; during this critical moment, he detonated and dispersed the poisonous energy, avoiding a tragedy.

From this standpoint, compared to Mo Han’s unapologetic method of injuring more than ten people, Yun Xiao’s disposition was quite commendable, much to the liking of Wu Jiantong and other Medical Pulse Masters.

“So it’s him!”

Upon hearing Wu Jiantong’s unconcealed words, the talents at Heavenly Realm Peak who had just escaped death realized it wasn’t mere luck but thanks to Yun Xing’s great favor.

Even though the poisonous energy from the Detoxification Pearl was conjured by Yun Xiao, he was targeting Mo Han. Strictly speaking, these Heavenly Realm Peaks were just collateral damage.

In taking a step back, if these Heavenly Realm Peak talents hadn’t been watching so closely, how could they have faced such a narrow escape?

After realizing this, they all cast grateful looks at Yun Xiao, while moving away, distancing themselves dozens of meters from the battle site, which was undeniably too dangerous.

Others, upon comprehending the situation, instinctively retreated a distance as well; those two were unpredictable, and any further involvement might not have the luck these talents did.

“Hmph, such timid disposition cannot accomplish big things!”

Ridiculed by Wu Jiantong, Mo Han snorted coldly. Honestly, he couldn’t stand Yun Xiao’s actions; those Heavenly Realm Peak ants dared to watch closely, they should be prepared to die.

Nonetheless, sensing the gaze of surrounding talents, Mo Han also understood what they were thinking, intensifying his killing intent towards Yun Xiao.

This second strike not only failed to poison the white-clothed boy but also damaged his defense tool. Without the power of the Detoxification Pearl, Mo Han undoubtedly needed to be extremely cautious of the opponent’s toxic skills in the upcoming battle.

“Since simple methods don’t work, let’s crush them with Meridian Qi!”

Mo Han, at this moment, undoubtedly knew where the problem lay. He himself was not a Poison Vein Master; it was obviously impossible to deal with the opponent using poison. Therefore, he could only rely on his Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage Meridian Qi cultivation.

Anyway, Mo Han and Yun Xiao were two whole small realms apart. If he were to still lose in such a situation, he would truly have no face to return to Dragon Academy from Emperor Canglong Palace.

Generally speaking, talents from Emperor Canglong Palace and Dragon Academy have much stronger combat power compared to outside cultivators of the same level. Except for a few in Dragon Academy, Mo Han had never encountered an opponent of the same rank.

The skills of this boy Yun Xing in Poison Meridian were indeed exceptional, but if it really came to competing against his Meridian Qi cultivation and Meridian Techniques, Yun Xiao would likely be crushed to death.

This was Mo Han’s extreme confidence; he had sensed Yun Xiao’s physical strength in the stone house earlier, thus never considering close combat with him.

Hoo… hoo…

A gust of energy vibrated from the sky, and next, the sky seemed to become colder, a chill that could freeze the air.

When Lu Zhanbai, the Third Young Master of the Lu Family, recalled some memories from the depths of his mind, his eyes carried a hint of heat, naturally knowing the attribute of this Dragon Academy talent — it was an extreme cold.

Like his name, Mo Han practiced a Cold Attribute Technique, and once during a sparring session going to the Emperor Palace, Lu Zhanbai was almost frozen to death by the icy power, a memory he still shudders at.
