Chapter 144: One hundred and forty-four The grand competition begins
"This kid really does have quite a few secrets on him!"
Fu Du’s heart burst with fervor. Although he was genuinely a Poison Vein Master, there were some deadly poisons that exceeded his tolerance, and he would avoid them at all costs.
For instance, the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, which Fu Du had acquired for several years, yet he never dared to Refine it lightly, fearing that he would not withstand the ice-cold intense poison and become frozen into an ice sculpture like the former Yun Xiao.
Fu Du thought to himself how wonderful it would be if he also had a constitution immune to all poisons like Yun Xiao. Perhaps, when Refining some against-the-heavens toxic substances in the future, he would no longer need so many reservations.
"Second Elder, do you recognize that young man?"
While Fu Du’s thoughts were ablaze, contemplating how to recapture Yun Xiao, suddenly a familiar voice came from beside him, making his heart skip a beat and immediately bringing him back to his senses.
When Fu Du’s gaze returned from the distant Yun Xiao and turned his head, what he saw was a very familiar old face—it was the Jade Pot Sect’s number one person after the Sect Leader: Great Elder Lu Zhan!
The Jade Pot Sect had both Poison Vein and Medical Pulse coexisting, and theoretically, these two factions should be incompatible like fire and water. Yet, because of the astonishingly talented Sect Leader, the two were forcefully combined, contributing to the Jade Pot Sect’s eminent reputation.
However, privately, Fu Du, the head of the Poison Vein, and Lu Zhan, the head of the Medical Pulse, couldn’t stand each other, and they hardly had any dealings unless absolutely necessary.
Were it not for the need to infuse fresh blood into their respective branches, neither Lu Zhan nor Fu Du would have come to this Outer Sect competition personally. Yet, this time, they both had arrived at the Arena Hall of the Outer Sect, each with a genius they had to pay attention to.
