"This young man, his resistance to poison is actually so strong?"
Even Qingmu Wu, the dean of the Sky Poison Institute, upon hearing Ye Ku's words, couldn't help but have a glint of light shoot from his eyes. That was because the poison inside Room Five was set by him personally, and he was more aware of its potency than Ye Ku.
To soone like him, a Heavenly Poison Vein Master, an Earth Rank Low-Level poison wouldn't catch his eye. But for those ridian Refining Masters participating in the Lianyun Mountain disciple selection, it posed extrely destructive power.
Yet, just as a young man who seed to be under twenty entered, he wasn't eroded and poisoned by that poison. Instead, within an extrely short ti, he swallowed all those poisons completely.
This already indicated, in a certain direction, that the young one nad Yun Xiao was a good material to beco a Poison Vein Master. At least in terms of poison resistance, he might not be much worse than Ye Ku, the top prodigy of the Sky Poison Institute.
Qingmu Wu's dissatisfaction with Yun Xiao was actually subjective. He believed that on the small Hidden Dragon Continent, having two decent talent ridian Refining Masters was already the limit and that a third was impossible.
But now, having witnessed Yun Xiao's poison resistance skills, Qingmu Wu's thoughts began to change.
Isn't this Lianyun Mountain's disciple selection ant to absorb fresh blood for the Sky Poison Institute and the Heavenly Hospital? For soone like Qingmu Wu, encountering a poison vein talent would certainly excite him.
......
"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?"
As he saw Ye Ku walking out of the room shortly after, Yun Xiao finally spoke up. Hearing this, Ye Ku's face turned a bit unnatural, as if slapped by Yun Xiao's earlier words.
This young man nad Yun Xiao, how could he need Ye Ku's rescue? In just those ten or so breaths, he swallowed all the poison and remained unaffected. Even Ye Ku himself would struggle to achieve that.
"Haha, let try how potent this poison is too?"
Just as Yun Xiao's voice fell, a loud voice suddenly sounded from beside him. Instantly, a figure flashed forward at an extrely fast speed, pushing open the door to Room Five and entering it.
Witnessing this, everyone was shocked, and so felt admiration, quietly noting that the person entering Room Five was indeed crafty, but would the Lianyun Mountain disciple assessnt be that simple?
It seed the person hurriedly entering Room Five knew the poison inside had been completely consud by Yun Xiao and wanted to take advantage of it.
Besides, he likely thought that even if Lianyun Mountain laid out new tests quickly, it wouldn't be as poisonous as before, right?
But Ye Ku, standing near Yun Xiao, after a slight daze, wore a cold smile on his face and didn't leave, seemingly waiting for sothing.
"Ah!"
About fifteen minutes later, a scream suddenly burst out from inside Room Five. Then the door was flung open, and a figure stumbled out, rolling to the ground. Wasn't this the ridian Refining Master who had rushed into the room earlier?
"Help... save !"
At this mont, this ridian Refining Master had lost all the confidence he had when he rushed into the room. Instead, he was in extre pain. Seeing this, everyone found the scene eerily familiar.
Because when the first ridian Refining Master ca out of Room Five earlier, wasn't he in the sa state? It was clearly a sign of being in unbearable pain from poison.
At this mont, everyone's gaze swept over the ridian Refining Master writhing in pain on the ground, then focused on the rough-clothed young man.
It all ca down to comparison. As the saying goes, without comparison, there is no harm. Compared to Yun Xiao's calmness, this ridian Refining Master was undoubtedly in extre distress, not caring about his image.
Puh! Puh! Puh!
Ye Ku, watching this outco, seemingly waiting for it, glanced at Yun Xiao, then took a few steps forward, striking the ridian Refining Master a few tis, ultimately saving his life.
However, even though his life was saved, like the first ridian Refining Master who entered Room Five, he had permanently lost the qualifications for ridian Qi Cultivation. It can only be said to be sad and lantable.
This clearly showed that Yun Xiao hadn't used any tricks to pass the Room Five assessnt. The strength of the poison was evident from the fate of both ridian Refining Masters.
Thus, Yun Xiao's current state was solely due to his own strength, or let's say, his exceptionally strong ability to dissolve poison. In this aspect, perhaps only the Sky Poison Institute's top genius Ye Ku could compete with him.
In fact, the poison that seed overwhelmingly potent to outsiders appeared normal for Yun Xiao. This ti he didn't even need the assistance of the Dragon Guiding Tree Spirit Little Dragon's One Thought to Transform Myriad Poisons skill, easily neutralizing it with his own Poison ridian Skill.
The poison contributed significantly to the recovery of the Golden Snake Worm's abilities. Now seeing the miserable state of the ridian Refining Master, Yun Xiao even wanted to re-enter Room Five to swallow up the newly appeared poison.
But doing this might be too conspicuous, so Yun Xiao ultimately forced himself to hold back the impulse. At least at this mont, his second round of testing could be considered a success.
The rules of the second round of this Refining Cloud Mountain disciple selection do not conclude with just one success; one needs to be among the final top ten for the second round to end.
There are about fifty people who have entered this second round. According to the rules, everyone will enter one of the ten rooms, failers will be eliminated, and the successful will continue until the top ten are decided.
The Refining Cloud Mountain disciple selection is divided into three rounds, and actually, the eligibility of which ridian Refining Masters can beco Refining Cloud Mountain disciples is determined by this second round.
The final round is rely a battle for the rankings among the top ten, or whether they can secure better resources after entering Refining Cloud Mountain.
However, according to Yun Xiao's prediction, it's likely that more than half of the ridian Refining Masters entering the ten rooms for the first ti will be eliminated. Even if few enter the two highly poisonous rooms, the trials in the other rooms are not easily overco.
It is worth ntioning that Yu Shu, upon entering Room 7 for about an hour, returned with a rather excited expression. From his teacher's face, Yun Xiao knew that he had likely succeeded.
Yu Shu is also a bona fide Earth Rank Low Level ridian Refining Master. Although his ridian Qi Cultivation is not on par with Xu Changgui and Li Gongnian, the geniuses from great powers, compared to most in the field, he is not far behind.
Along with Yu Shu's success, Li Gongnian of Douling Comrce, Yao Tiansha the protector of Sky Thunder Valley, and Xu Changgui the Heavenly Thunder Child of Sky Thunder Valley all successfully passed the first test.
However, these standouts passing the test was expected, while most entered with high spirits and exited dejected and downhearted, indicating that most were failures.
After the first round of filtering, fewer than twenty people remained in the field, and these nearly twenty individuals needed to enter the rooms one by one again until the final top ten were determined.
"Everyone, please excuse for a mont!"
Just as everyone was watching those dozen people over there, the Dean of Sky Poison Institute, Qingmu Wu, suddenly spoke up, then without much explanation, got up and disappeared from the crowd's sight.
"This old guy..."
Watching Qingmu Wu's disappearing figure, Qian Sanyuan and others didn't think much of it. The dean of the Sky Poison Institute always acted quirky and unique, sotis doing even more outrageous things, so leaving at a ti like this wasn't a big deal.
At this mont, several ridian Refining Masters were heading towards those ten rooms, among them stood that boy in coarse clothes, appearing sowhat impatient.
Yun Xiao had chosen Room 5 again, and for this room, no one else competed with him. After all, the unpredictable poison inside was beyond most people's confidence to handle.
The reason Yun Xiao chose this room was certainly to covet the poison within, for that energy which could restore Xiao Wu's strength was also a form of unique strength enhancent for him.
"Hmm?"
However, as Yun Xiao stepped into the room, he felt sothing was amiss. The room that was empty monts ago now had a wooden platform, with a man whose face appeared sowhat dark lying motionless on it, covered with a white cloth.
"Has the test changed?"
Seeing the wooden platform, Yun Xiao pondered, silently noting how peculiar and strange this second round of testing was; clearly, Room 5 was filled with poison before, yet now it seed to involve treating and saving lives.
"Is it poisoning?"
Since he had co, he might as well settle in. Yun Xiao didn't dwell too long on it. He stepped forward, took a closer look at the unconscious man's face, and muttered to himself.
What Yun Xiao didn't notice was that outside this room, a pair of eyes were watching his actions, and within those eyes flickered a most expectant gleam.
Even though Yun Xiao now possessed Earth Rank Middle Level Power of Soul, there was a limit to his sensing ability. The observer outside was too powerful and adept at concealing their aura, which was beyond Yun Xiao's current ability to detect.
Hua la!
At this mont, all Yun Xiao's thoughts were centered on the man on the wooden platform. The next mont, he reached out his right hand and pulled off the white cloth covering the man.
"Hiss..."
What Yun Xiao saw was a naked man, but his focus was not on the man's nudity, but on certain changes on the man's body.
Such changes made even soone as knowledgeable as Yun Xiao involuntarily take a cold breath, feeling an unsettling sense of familiarity.
