Chu Xinghe Had Yet to Make His Move; the Outcome Was Still Undecided!
"There are 365 sunrises in a year... I'm going to send myself 365 blessings!"
Seeing Ouyang Ling return defeated, Chu Xinghe was already planning to perform a dance for everyone if there hadn't been so many people around!
Perfect!
Of all the people Chu Xinghe was worried about during his visit to the Ning Clan, it was Ouyang Ling.
My dear Junior Sister Ouyang... please, spare my life, Senior Brother Xinghe...
My Senior Brother Xinghe, has been so tough... Just look at what I've been through in the past year...
Chu Xinghe was initially fully supportive of the Ning Clan's price war against him using the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring.
I can't beat you Ning Clan in anything else, but when it comes to losses? I'll make you cry!
But damn Ning Clan, everyone's been doing just fine, and you suddenly jump out and start this challenge? How can you face the guilty conscience of me, Chu Xinghe?
When Ouyang Ling came to the Ning Clan, to be honest, Chu Xinghe's first reaction was that something very strange must have happened.
But at this moment, seeing Ouyang Ling's worried expression, Chu Xinghe was so excited he almost clapped!
It truly lives up to its reputation as Earth Spirit Gushing Spring born from the legendary essence of heaven and earth!
That's more than just fierce... it's absolutely invincible!
Elder Ji's poisons were practically useless against the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring... and even Ouyang Ling, who was most worried, was taken out by the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring in one go...
As long as nothing strange happens on Ouyang Ling's side, there's no way we can lose this game!
If Elder Ji and Ouyang Ling cannot win this round, then I, Chu Xinghe, have absolutely no chance of winning!
This isn't just me looking down on the Misfortune Compass... Even if luck and misfortune team up, I, Chu Xinghe, will definitely crush this one in the ground!
After all, this is a contest of poison skills, not a contest of medicine skills...
If it's about medicine, once you successfully refine a pill, luck and misfortune can cause a strange change in the pill you refine.
But the poison was prepared in advance... poison doesn't need to be made on the spot, which means that luck and misfortune weren't given a chance to act at all!
I don't know how Elder Ji and Ouyang Ling will lose... but I, Chu Xinghe, will just throw in a few of the poisons they used to use, and you'll see whether they lose or not!
So this time he truly lost both fame and fortune!
Not only are we losing a lot of spiritual medicine... but the Ning Clan's defeat of me Chu Xinghe, will definitely deal a huge blow to my reputation...
With that, the Ninth Rank is secured!
Soon... news of the battle of poison techniques in the Earth Spirit Valley spread throughout the Three Continents through the Ning Clan.
Numerous poison masters from all over the Three Continents had arrived at the Ning Clan's location well in advance.
After all, this is a true showdown of the pinnacle of poison skills!
Rather than saying Chu Xinghe is challenging the Ning Clan, it would be more accurate to say Chu Xinghe's challenging the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring...
The Earth Spirit Gushing Spring is born from the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, so Chu Xinghe is not only challenging the Ning Clan, but also defying the heavens!
Despite Chu Xinghe 'Chu Xinghe numerous past miracles, to be honest, virtually no poison masters from the Three Continents were optimistic about his chances in this battle.
In particular, after communicating with the poison masters of the Spirit Beast Continent, the poison masters from all sides became even more convinced of this idea.
It's not that people don't have a good impression of Chu Xinghe... it's just that the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring is too terrifying...
According to the poison masters of the Spirit Beast Continent, the Ning Clan once used the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring to challenge all the rare poisons in the world, and in the end, none of the known rare poisons could withstand the purification of the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring.
Even all the ancient and rare poisons were useless.
So the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring isn't just bragging; it truly does counteract all poisons!
Moreover, as the date for the duel was set, the news that Ji Changfeng and Ouyang Ling had no way to obtain the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring was leaked by someone.
Upon hearing this news, all parties became even more convinced of their own ideas.
See? We were right... Ji Changfeng and Ouyang Ling have already tried, but they still can't do anything about the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring. Now tell me, how can the Ning Clan possibly lose?
However, some people expressed a different opinion... They said, "Don't just focus on the fact that Ji Changfeng and Ouyang Ling lost..."
Chu Xinghe hasn't made a move yet, has he?
Furthermore, it was Chu Xinghe who set the date for the duel. Please use your brains... If Chu Xinghe had absolutely no confidence, why would he dare to set the date?
It's said that Chu Xinghe, who decided on the date, seemed extremely excited... Tell me, who the hell would be excited when they knew they were going to lose?
Could they even set a date on the spot?
So you're all wrong... Chu Xinghe hasn't even made a move yet, so the outcome is still uncertain!
The outside world is now in complete chaos, with the poison masters divided into two factions: one firmly supports the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring, while the other firmly believes that Chu Xinghe must have a deeper meaning!
Amidst the fierce argument between the two sides, the day for the duel between the Vast Heaven Sect and the Ning Clan finally arrived.
It has to be said, the Ning Clan really went all out this time...
In the past, only extremely distinguished guests of the Ning Clan could enter and tour the Earth Spirit Valley under the guidance of the Clan Head Ning...
It is absolutely impossible for this to be opened up.
However, in order to hold this competition, the Ning Clan actually chose to open up the Earth Spirit Valley directly...
Originally, the Clan Head Ning planned to invite some prominent poison masters from the Three Continents to watch the battle, but Grand Elder Ning Hang, who was in charge of the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring, said to the Clan Chief, "You're confused!"
Are we guaranteed to win this game?
Knowing we are certain of victory, shouldn't we let more people see this battle?
That's Chu Xinghe!
Chu Xinghe, who was said to have never been defeated in either of the two continents!
This battle could be considered our chance to secure Chu Xinghe's first blood... This is Chu Xinghe's first defeat!
Shouldn't such a grand event be seen by more people?
This signifies the fall of Chu Xinghe, but also the rise of our Ning Clan. How can we possibly invite only a select few to such an opportunity?
After much deliberation, the Clan Head Ning nodded in agreement to Elder Ning Hang's suggestion...
So... today, when Chu Xinghe entered the Earth Spirit Valley... his first thought was... had he come to the wrong place?
Is this the same Earth Spirit Valley we visited yesterday?
Is this definitely not a famous tourist area?
Look at this! Every single place in the entire Earth Spirit Valley where people can stand is crammed together like canned food made by a conscientious merchant!
Not only on the ground... but even the cliffs surrounding the Earth Spirit Valley are now packed with people...
There are even people perched on some of the trees right now... Even if you brought over Ma Liang, who was unbeatable in mathematics, he still wouldn't be able to figure out how many people were in this Earth Spirit Valley!
Despite his confusion, Chu Xinghe declared that Clan Head Ning was flawless!
After all, we're going to embarrass ourselves here today... so wouldn't it be better to have as many people as possible?
The more people there are today, the more embarrassed we'll be!
So please keep your eyes peeled today, everyone! I guarantee you won't have a wasted trip!
After the Clan Head Ning made a brief statement, the duel began. It wasn't that the Clan Head Ning didn't want to organize other activities... it was just that there were simply too many people in the Earth Spirit Valley. If you looked at the number of people, you'd worry that someone might get pregnant from being squeezed here today!
As the duel began, Ji Changfeng, who had suffered defeats all yesterday, stepped forward.
Ji Changfeng stated that after returning, he conducted some research on the properties of the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring, and therefore specially concocted some unique poisons that might be effective against Earth Spirit Gushing Spring...
Without further ado, Ji Changfeng went directly to the spring and began to use one strange poison after another. Each appearance of a strange poison elicited gasps of surprise from those around him.
"That's the legendary ancient poison, Yellow Springs Powder!"
"What they've brought out now seems to be the Water of Nine Souls..."
"Is this the God-Sealing Dew?"
The sheer variety of top-tier poisons astonished the numerous poison masters who came, prompting them to exclaim, "Truly worthy of the legendary Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng!"
Any one of these poisons, if taken out, would be a terrifying entity capable of instantly killing countless people.
However, when these poisons entered the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring one by one, no matter how potent they were, none could escape the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring's purifying power...
Seeing Ji Changfeng's disappointed expression again, the poison masters couldn't help but sigh... It wasn't that Ji Changfeng wasn't strong enough; any one of the poison masters present was an extraordinary figure even in the Three Continents...
However, seeing the various strange poisons that Ji Changfeng used, everyone present had to admit that in terms of poison skills, there was indeed a considerable gap between them and Ji Changfeng.
In a normal confrontation with Ji Changfeng, the Ning Clan would have absolutely no chance of winning. However, the Ning Clan relied on the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring to fight against Ji Changfeng... This battle wasn't because Ji Changfeng wasn't strong enough, but because their opponent was abnormal...
After using up all his potent poisons, Ji Changfeng clasped his hands in a fist salute to the audience and said, "My poisons are indeed no match for the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring. I concede defeat in this battle."
When Ji Changfeng defeat, no one laughed at him; in fact, many poison masters applauded.
After all, this is Earth Spirit Gushing Spring... Ji Changfeng has done more than enough, but with the power of a mortal, he simply cannot contend with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
Amidst applause, Ji Changfeng walked to Chu Xinghe's side. Looking at Xinghe, Ji Changfeng shook his head with a wry smile.
"Elder Ji's poison skills have been recognized by the Three Continents, so there's no need to worry about the outcome of this battle," Chu Xinghe quickly said.
Ji Changfeng is a veteran of the industry, so his mentality is naturally fine; he can just laugh it off.
Ouyang Ling also stepped forward at this moment, but Ouyang Ling face was full of helplessness. Ouyang Ling had basically used all the poisons she knew, but as everyone saw, the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring truly purified the poisons 100%.
After returning home, Ouyang Ling thought about it for a very long time, but Ouyang Ling still couldn't come up with any way to break the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring. So at this point, Ouyang Ling knew that even if she went up, the result wouldn't change much.
"Senior Brother Xinghe, I may have to disappoint you today..." Ouyang Ling said with a look of shame.
"Junior Sister Ouyang, there's no need for that. Just stay true to yourself and be the best version of yourself. The Earth Spirit Gushing Spring has the ability to purify all poisons in the world, so you don't need to care about winning or losing."
Hearing what Senior Brother Xinghe said, Ouyang Ling gave a wry smile, but still chose to go out.
Looking at Ouyang Ling's completely lacking confidence, Chu Xinghe couldn't help but laugh until he was sore!
Junior Sister Ouyang, don't let winning or losing affect you... You're just going through the motions. Once you've lost everything, Senior Brother Xinghe will show you how to lose big!
