Cold-mixed blue silver grass, why does it get more numb the more you eat it?

Soon, Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Yu Xiaogang walked out of the kitchen carrying two large plates of cold-tossed Blue Silver Grass.

"Is this just Blue Silver Grass shredded into strips?"

Ye Lin looked at the contents of the plates with some surprise.

Ma Hongjun took a glance, "Can this even taste good?"

"It's blue, green, and black; it doesn't look appetizing at all."

Xiao Wu even posed a soul-searching question, "Is this even edible?"

Yu Xiaogang placed the cold-tossed Blue Silver Grass on the table, picked up his chopsticks, and quickly took a mouthful, "What do you all know!"

"All Tool Spirits are edible; they are all part of energy!"

"This plate of cold-tossed Blue Silver Grass is fresh, sweet, and delicious, with just the right amount of numbing spice and heat!"

"It's just right!"

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang began to eat quickly and heartily, "Foster father, why does my mouth feel so numb?"

"It's starting to lose all feeling, isn't it?"

Yu Xiaogang didn't think much of it and replied casually, "Perhaps I put in a bit too much Sichuan peppercorn powder and numbing spice powder, which is why it feels so numb, but isn't that just right? It masks the bitterness inherent in the Blue Silver Grass."

He ate large mouthfuls, also feeling the numbness in his mouth, which quickly spread to every part of his body—his head, his chest, his legs, and his only remaining left arm.

"It seems I really did put in a bit too much; why is it so numb?"

Yu Xiaogang's vision began to sway, making it difficult to see clearly, "Eh? San, why do you have two heads?"

Tang San giggled foolishly, "Hehehe,"

"Foster father, I see you've grown two arms as well,"

"I never expected this cold-tossed Blue Silver Grass to have healing properties."

"It can actually heal arms."

Ye Lin: (⊙_⊙)

Flender: (☉☉)

Dai Mubai: (::)

Stunned, Everyone in the cafeteria was completely stunned, What were these two babbling about?

When was Yu Xiaogang's right arm ever healed?

They could only see Yu Xiaogang's single left arm waving chopsticks around, Tang San stood up and began to wave his arms, swaying continuously, "Tang San?"

Flender called out with some concern, "Dean, what's wrong?"

Tang San turned to look at Flender, but his movements didn't stop; he was swaying quite seductively, just like a wriggling water snake.

"He seems to be fine,"

Flender had just let out a sigh of relief, The next second, Yu Xiaogang slapped onto the table, but his remaining left arm continued to beckon forward, "Great-grandmother, Great-grandmother, are you here to take me with you?"

"I have to go with San, I can't leave San behind."

He had eaten much more of the Blue Silver Grass than Tang San, and his body was weaker, "Foster father, foster father, what's wrong, foster father!"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang collapse, Tang San stepped forward to push him, but the next second, he fell face-first into the plate of Blue Silver Grass and stopped moving.

Even though he had eaten less and had a stronger physique, he still couldn't hold out.

"Dean, what's wrong with those two?"

"They were jumping and twisting a moment ago, so why aren't they moving now?"

Dai Mubai looked at the pair with some confusion.

"Could this be some new type of performance?"

"Performance, my foot!"

Flender smacked the back of Dai Mubai's head.

"Still talking about performances? It's obvious they've been poisoned!"

He quickly stepped forward and yanked Tang San out of the plate of cold-tossed Blue Silver Grass on the table.

"Oscar, where is your small sausage? Hurry!"

Flender waved his hand rapidly toward Oscar.

Oscar didn't dare to delay; his second Spirit Ring flashed, and a small sausage appeared in his hand.

He quickly stepped forward and shoved the small sausage into Tang San's mouth.

Flender grabbed Tang San's hair with one hand and his chin with the other, tossing him about until he finally managed to swallow it.

After consuming the Detoxification Sausage, Tang San's complexion improved rapidly, and he opened his eyes in confusion.

"What happened to me?"

"What happened?"

"What do you mean, what happened? You were poisoned!"

"Eating everything you see!"

Flender gave Tang San an annoyed look, then shoved Oscar's small sausage into Yu Xiaogang's mouth, repeating the same process.

Soon, Yu Xiaogang woke up, and he asked the exact same question.

"What happened to me?"

"My great-grandmother was just about to take me away, but I got dragged back."

Flender tossed Yu Xiaogang aside.

"Indeed, if it weren't for the cold-tossed Blue Silver Grass you ate here, I reckon your great-grandmother really would have taken you away."

He spoke to Yu Xiaogang with a hint of mockery.

"You, a dignified master of theory, formulated the control and poison-attribute development path for Tang San yourself, and he absorbed the Spirit Ring of a Ghost Vine. Did you not know that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is poisonous?"

"It's only because Oscar happens to have detoxification abilities that you two didn't die here today."

Yu Xiaogang patted his head to clear his mind.

"That can't be right. Tang San's Blue Silver Vine is only mildly toxic; when released, the poison only has a slight paralytic effect. How could we have nearly been poisoned to death?"

"Did you two poison me?"

"I kindly lent you the kitchen, and you're saying I poisoned you?"

Flender was completely stunned.

"Fine, since that's the case, don't you two ever come back again."

He quickly chased Tang San and Yu Xiaogang out of the cafeteria, then took a thick brush from his Soul Tool and quickly wrote a few large characters on the wall.

"Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and dogs are not allowed inside!"

"Next time, remember to look clearly!"

Flender slapped the wall with a loud thud and walked into the cafeteria without looking back.

"Sister Ye Lin, why did those two get poisoned?"

Xiao Wu asked Ye Lin with some curiosity.

"I feel like the toxin in Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is very weak; it doesn't even have any effect."

Ye Lin rolled her eyes helplessly.

"The Blue Silver Vine has a paralytic effect even when applied externally. They ingested it directly; how strong do you think the toxin would be?"

"Just because poison doesn't affect you when rubbed on your skin, don't think it's harmless when eaten."

Xiao Wu was stunned.

"I understand now."

With Tang San and Yu Xiaogang gone, the rest of the meal was very pleasant, and Flender brought up his previous suggestion about fighting in the Great Soul Arena to earn Gold Soul Coins, which would then be used to help everyone improve.

Everyone knew the academy's financial situation was poor, so no one objected; besides, since the money would ultimately be spent on them, there was even less reason to oppose it.

Ten minutes later, the bell for class rang, and the group quickly headed toward the training ground.

Tang San was not to be seen here; at this moment, he was being supervised by Zhao Wuji and several other teachers as he ran laps around Shrek Academy.

Even though he had been poisoned, Flender would still not show any mercy or abandon the punishment for Tang San.

Flender stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the training grounds.

"Starting from today, you will all go to the Soto Great Soul Arena every night for soul fighting, but that does not mean I will let you off during the day."
