Chapter 26: Hundredfold Feedback! Perfect Woe Poison Body!
Xiao Ze concealed his aura and hid among the leaves. The panicked magical beasts fleeing past never noticed him.
This was only the outer reaches of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, where the beasts were all the lowest grade—Tier 1 magical beasts, or even ordinary animals.
Even if they swarmed him, they couldn't threaten Xiao Ze.
What truly worried him was whatever had driven the beasts to flee in such a frantic rush.
Magical beasts were cunning and deceitful, with a keen sense for danger.
What could possibly frighten them so much?
Could a high-tier magical beast from deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range have come out to hunt?
Generally speaking, high-tier magical beasts rarely came to the outskirts to hunt.
The beasts out here were little more than a meal to creatures of their caliber, and offered no other benefits.
After waiting a while, Xiao Ze still hadn't sensed any danger approaching by the time the magical beasts had disappeared from sight.
"Have these magical beasts gone mad?"
Xiao Ze hid in the tree for another quarter of an hour before realizing that this wasn't going to work.
"Why not go around this area?"
Xiao Ze quickly climbed down, then pointed out the route on his map.
He found that Green Mountain Town lay just outside the direction the magical beasts had come from.
"On the Dou Qi Continent, you shouldn't be too curious. Other people get the lucky encounters. I'd better keep my head down and get stronger with my Feedback System!"
Xiao Ze put away his map and headed toward Green Mountain Town.
Sure enough, he didn't find any signs of large numbers of magical beasts trampling through the area along the way.
Xiao Ze let out a slight breath of relief, but still kept a close eye on his surroundings.
This was still the outer reaches of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, so there was no guarantee he wouldn't run into a magical beast.
Come to think of it, he'd been pretty unlucky to run into a Tier 2 magical beast.
The beasts most commonly found in the outer reaches of the Magical Beast Mountain Range were ordinary animals and Tier 1 magical beasts.
Tier 2 magical beasts were comparatively rare.
Perhaps that beast had been a flying magical beast with a wide hunting range, and Xiao Ze had just been unlucky enough to cross its path.
Suddenly, Xiao Ze noticed a black handprint on the tree trunk ahead.
His attention snapped to it, and his soul perception swept the area in a frantic search.
He sensed no magical beasts or humans.
Xiao Ze approached the black handprint. He could make out the shape of a human hand, though he couldn't tell whether it belonged to a man or a woman.
He realized that the mark didn't seem to have been scorched by Fire Attribute Dou Qi. It looked as if it had been left by some kind of corrosive substance!
Xiao Ze plucked a handful of grass from beside his feet and carefully placed it on the black handprint.
In the blink of an eye, the grass turned black.
Seeing that, Xiao Ze hurriedly flung the grass from his hand.
At the same time, he sent out the faint blue Dou Qi covering his hand, then covered it with another layer before inspecting it carefully.
Only after confirming that he was unharmed did Xiao Ze finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The test had confirmed it: the black handprint had been corroded by deadly poison!
"To come across something this poisonous near Green Mountain Town... It's hard not to let my imagination run wild!"
Xiao Ze examined the mark and saw that it continued deeper into the forest.
He took out his map and compared it with his current location.
Sure enough, the trail of handprints led to the very place the magical beasts had fled from earlier!
"Could Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body have flared up?"
Xiao Ze hesitated, but in the end decided to take a look.
He hadn't found any traces of Dou Qi on the black handprint.
That meant whoever had left it might have been an ordinary person, not a cultivator!
If it wasn't Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Ze would still have room to run.
As for fighting someone with such deadly poison, Xiao Ze would rather not.
Following the traces of the poisonous handprint, Xiao Ze continued onward. Along the way, some of the grass had been contaminated and reduced to piles of dead stalks.
Xiao Ze carefully avoided the dead grass. His body was wrapped in a dense cloak of Dou Qi, so the ashes wouldn't fall on him.
After traveling for a while, he reached a small valley.
A new system prompt appeared before Xiao Ze's eyes.
[Xiao Yi Xian: Bindable traits—Woeful Poison Body, Medical Skills, Beast Taming]
When he saw the system prompt, Xiao Ze knew things were settled!
The person in the valley was Xiao Yi Xian, whose Woeful Poison Body had flared up!
Of the several bindable options, only Woeful Poison Body was pale gold. The others were all white!
Xiao Ze had no idea how the system classified abilities.
But it probably evaluated them based on talent, rarity, growth potential, and so on.
The highest rating Xiao Ze had seen so far
was the Ancient Clan God-Grade Dou Di Bloodline within Xiao Xun'er, its color so rich it looked like dark gold!
Now, the Woeful Poison Body within Xiao Yi Xian was the second golden rating he had seen!
Xiao Ze didn't hesitate and immediately chose to bind the Woeful Poison Body!
[Host has successfully bound Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body!]
Seeing the system prompt, Xiao Ze finally let out a breath of relief.
The Woeful Poison Body had plenty of drawbacks, but its benefits were even more obvious!
In the original story, when Xiao Yi Xian reunited with the others years later, she was still ahead of Xiao Yan in her progress.
That showed just how powerful the Woeful Poison Body was.
By then, Xiao Yan had already devoured two Heavenly Flames!
His cultivation had rocketed forward, leaving all the same-age geniuses at Jia Nan Academy far behind!
Yet even under those circumstances, Xiao Yi Xian was still able to leave Xiao Yan in the dust!
And he had a multiple-feedback system on top of that.
Perhaps the rewards from the feedback could eliminate those drawbacks!
Xiao Ze watched Xiao Yi Xian, who lay unconscious in the valley.
Normally, the Woeful Poison Body wouldn't flare up unless Xiao Yi Xian consumed poison, which would increase the poison's potency within her body.
But before the incident in the Chu Yun Empire, Xiao Yi Xian had been extremely resistant to consuming poison.
Perhaps it was because she had caused a disaster after consuming poison in the past.
As he thought, Xiao Ze waited expectantly for the feedback that was to come.
Whenever the Woeful Poison Body flared up, the poison within it would grow more potent.
Eventually, even the Woeful Poison Body would be unable to suppress the poison inside her!
Its owner would suffer the agony of a thousand poisons gnawing at her body!
Amid the ravages of countless poisons, she would be poisoned to death!
So once this flare-up ended, the Woeful Poison Body would improve!
Xiao Ze waited patiently. Before long, the system prompt appeared again at last!
[Xiao Yi Xian consumed poison. The poison's potency increased, and the Woeful Poison Body advanced!] [Congratulations, Host! You have received a hundredfold feedback reward: Perfect Woe Poison Body!]
"Hiss!"
Xiao Ze's eyes flew wide open.
Was this a special perk for the first time?
He'd actually triggered a hundredfold feedback reward!
Xiao Ze glanced at Xiao Yi Xian. Seeing no sign that she was waking up, he immediately chose to claim his reward!
Since the system had labeled it Perfect Woe Poison Body, it had surely removed many of the drawbacks.
That made Xiao Ze confident enough to claim it!
Boom!
In an instant!
Xiao Ze felt as though the universe had exploded. His body endured destruction hundreds and thousands of times, only to revive again amid the ruin!
"Ugh—"
Xiao Ze's eyes snapped wide open, and cold sweat instantly drenched his entire body.
The agony of destruction etched into his soul, and the ecstasy of coming back to life!
They both told him with perfect clarity—
that what he had experienced in that instant had truly happened!
"As expected of the Woeful Poison Body. Even receiving the reward is this intense."
"Luckily, it all happened in a single instant. Otherwise, I really don't know if I could've endured it!"
Xiao Ze said, feeling fortunate.
Once he'd recovered, Xiao Ze realized that his Dou Qi cultivation had shot up by six stars!
He was now a Dou Master, eight stars!
"The Woeful Poison Body really is terrifying!"
