Tang San: Why Can't I Cure This Snake Venom?

Seeing the interest in Zhou Tao's eyes, Tang San could not help feeling a little flustered.

He knew Zhou Tao's strength all too well.

Even when Zhou Tao had still been a Soul Grandmaster, he had already been able to suppress him with ease.

Now, although he himself was a Soul Elder, Zhou Tao's Soul Power Level was even higher—he was already a Soul Ancestor.

If the Shrek Seven Devils attacked together, Tang San felt they might still have a chance of winning.

But Dai Mubai had been severely injured, and Ma Hongjun had been poisoned by snake venom. The Shrek Seven Devils had practically lost half their fighting strength.

How were they supposed to win?

Just as Tang San was thinking, Zhou Tao spoke.

"Tang San, begin your performance."

"Don't you love showing off without using your brain?"

Zhou Tao looked at Tang San's gloomy face, the corners of his lips curling up.

He wanted to see how the things Tang San took such pride in would prove utterly useless before him.

"What do you mean?"

Little Scumbag instinctively took a step back, watching Zhou Tao warily.

"Your companion Ma Hongjun has been poisoned by snake venom. Aren't you going to help him deal with it?"

"Aren't you brothers bound by deep affection? Now's the time for you to show what you can do."

Zhou Tao shrugged and pointed at Ma Hongjun, who was kneeling on the ground.

At that moment, Ma Hongjun's entire body was covered in bloody scratches, all clawed out by himself.

Tang San's pupils contracted slightly.

Of course, he could tell that Zhou Tao was setting a trap for him.

But—

he had no choice but to jump into it.

After all, he was an outstanding "theft-style" disciple of the Tang Sect!

A disciple who had stolen the Tang Sect's secret arts into his own hands since the age of eight.

He had to carry forward the secret arts he had stolen from the Tang Sect.

He had to carry forward the glory of the Tang Sect!

Although the Tang Sect regarded him as a thief, that did not stop Tang San from believing that he was the pride of the Tang Sect.

Now that someone was provoking him, if he did not respond, how could he call himself a Tang Sect disciple in the future?

"Of course I can detoxify him."

"But will you give me time to do it?"

Tang San stared into Zhou Tao's eyes and spoke with inexplicable confidence.

"Hahaha!"

"You think you can detoxify my poison?"

"You really think too highly of yourself."

As if she had heard the greatest joke in the world, Dugu Yan burst out laughing.

She had never heard of anyone being able to cure her poison.

Moreover, her martial soul had evolved into a wyrm serpent, making its venom even more potent.

Tang San actually claimed that he could detoxify it?

It was simply laughable.

At that moment, Tang San smiled.

That was exactly what he had been waiting to hear.

He straightened his back and raised his chin slightly.

That familiar light returned to his eyes—the light the Shrek group knew all too well.

It was the light of confidence.

Little Scumbag felt that he could show off again.

Relying on the protagonist's halo from the original novel, his own background, and countless cheats, he could show off again.

He wanted to uphold the pride of the Tang Sect.

"Although your martial soul is powerful, when it comes to poison, your snake venom is nothing but trash in my eyes."

The corners of Tang San's mouth curved slightly upward, every word ringing with conviction.

The entire venue was stunned by those words.

Even Dai Mubai could not help looking up at Tang San in shock.

This guy.

Had he gone mad?

He had actually called someone else's snake venom trash to her face?

Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow, an intrigued look appearing in her eyes.

Because—

Tang San had gotten one thing wrong from the start. This was not snake venom, but flood dragon venom.

Secondly—

Tang San's arrogance had piqued her interest.

She wanted to see just how capable this arrogant brat really was.

"Oh?"

"Interesting."

"Then give it a try."

"Let me see how you plan to detoxify him."

Dugu Yan said with great interest.

Tang San was delighted inwardly.

This woman had taken the bait.

"Ma Hongjun, bear with it."

Tang San quickly walked over to Dai Mubai and lowered his voice.

"Third Brother, are you really... sure you can do this?"

Ma Hongjun struggled to raise his head, suspicion lingering in his voice.

But other than Tang San, there was no one else he could ask for help.

He could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive.

"Ma Hongjun, don't worry."

"With snake venom, what it fears most is realgar."

"As long as we use blazing fire together with realgar wine and let the medicinal properties of the realgar wine seep into your skin, the snake venom will be cured."

Tang San patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder, his smile brimming with confidence.

"I trust you. Go ahead."

Seeing how confident Tang San was, Ma Hongjun ultimately chose to believe him.

He had no other choice.

Besides, Dugu Bo had said that if Tang San could detoxify him, he would not stop him.

Since that was the case, he might as well let Tang San try.

No matter how bad the result was, it would still be better than this.

Upon hearing that—

Dugu Yan could not help sneering inwardly.

Realgar wine countered snake venom?

What a joke.

She had lived this long, yet she had never seen any realgar wine that could counter snake venom.

Could it be that this Tang San had read some false information in some trashy novel?

Zhou Tao smiled as well.

In the original novel, the claim that realgar wine could cure snake venom was a joke.

Science had proven it.

Realgar wine could not detoxify snake venom at all.

Moreover—

Realgar wine contained arsenic and was poisonous. Drinking it could easily cause arsenic poisoning.

After being poisoned by a snake, absorbing realgar wine was like adding poison to poison.

At this moment, Zhou Tao simply stood where he was, watching Tang San make a fool of himself.

Just then.

Tang San took out a large bag of realgar wine from Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.

He smeared the realgar wine over Ma Hongjun's body.

Ma Hongjun only felt a warmth spread across his face, as though countless tiny bugs were crawling over his skin.

After finishing all this.

Tang San clasped his hands behind his back, lifted his chin, and wore the joyous expression of a victor.

He looked exactly like a second Yu Xiaogang!

He declared arrogantly:

"The snake venom has been neutralized!"

Tang San casually uttered those four words.

His voice was not loud, yet it reached the ears of everyone present with perfect clarity.

The entire venue fell deathly silent.

"Amazing!"

"Third Brother is truly the pride of our academy."

"So snake venom is nothing special after all!"

Xiao Wu bounced up and down, immediately beginning to shower Tang San with praise.

Dai Mubai let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Fortunately, the poison had been cured.

As expected of Tang San.

Oscar straightened up even more, his gaze toward Zhou Tao filled with admiration and pride.

The other Shrek Seven Devils were excited as well.

One after another, they looked at Zhou Tao with provocative eyes, their expressions clearly saying...

See that?

We Shrek can cure your poison!

However!

"Hehe..."

"What absurd confidence."

Zhou Tao and Dugu Yan laughed almost at the same time.

Their laughter was not loud, but it made the Shrek group's pride vanish without a trace.

"What are you laughing at?"

Tang San frowned as he looked at Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan did not answer.

But it was obvious that she was trying her hardest to suppress her laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

She could not hold it in anymore!

Dugu Yan doubled over with laughter, tears nearly spilling from her eyes.

In all her life, she had never seen anyone so ignorant, foolish, and completely unaware of it!

This was even more entertaining than watching a grand show!

Tang San was so ignorant—how could he still be this confident?

Where did his confidence even come from?

"Why are you laughing?"

Tang San was completely bewildered.
