"No, judging from your attitude just now, you probably just wanted to vent your anger." Qin Ming directly rejected Yu Tianheng's self-recommendation.
"Then I'll do it, teacher." Dugu Yan stepped forward and continued to explain to Qin Ming, stating her reasons, "My Soul Power is level 37, not much different from Jun Yi's. Moreover, I am Control System Soul Master, so I can better assess his abilities by testing him."
Even so, I...
"Teacher, I think this pretty lady is right, so let her do the test for me."
When Jun Yi saw that Dugu Yan was actually going to fight him, he saw this as a rare opportunity. He could use this fight to find out that Dugu Yan was poisoned, and then use her to lure out Dugu Bo.
"This... isn't that against the rules?"
Qin Ming knew that Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng had a very ambiguous relationship. Although they were not yet boyfriend and girlfriend, they had feelings for each other. He was afraid that Dugu Yan would seek revenge for Yu Tianheng.
"Teacher, Jun Yi didn't refuse, so please agree. You can observe from the sidelines and make appropriate team arrangements based on his demonstrated abilities."
Dugu Yan advised again.
"Oh well."
Qin Ming pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. Although Dugu Yan wanted to use her full strength, he could also intervene while watching the fight, so he agreed to let the two of them spar.
"Since you're going to participate, let's begin!"
Jun Yi and Dugu Yan walked to the center of the training ground, about 100 meters apart.
Dugu Yan summoned her Martial Soul and directly Martial Soul Possession. Dugu Yan body became extremely flexible, and her legs merged together to form a thick snake tail. She supported her body by swinging the snake tail back and forth. A diamond-shaped green scale appeared between her eyebrows, and her green eyes became exceptionally sharp. Her cold aura was devoid of any human emotions.
"Wow, she's a beautiful snake!"
Upon seeing Dugu Yan's appearance, Jun Yi couldn't help but admire her inwardly.
"Make your move."
Before Jun Yi could summon his Martial Soul, Dugu Yan lightly tapped her snake tail, transforming into a phantom that pounced towards Jun Yi, the blade she conjured in her hand viciously stabbing towards Jun Yi's throat.
"Oh dear, don't be in such a hurry."
Seeing that Dugu Yan was attacking him, Jun Yi did not retreat. He simply leaned back slightly to dodge Dugu Yan's blade. Then, he flicked his toes and kicked out a crescent arc, knocking Dugu Yan back and nearly causing her to fall to the ground.
"What?"
Dugu Yan was secretly alarmed. She was very confident in her speed. Apart from the amazing poison, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul was actually no less fast than some weaker Agility Attack System Soul Master. Even ordinary Soul Ancestor would find it difficult to dodge her attacks without dodging.
But Jun Yi not only easily dodged it, but even kicked her, which left Dugu Yan somewhat confused. This guy's strength was indeed extraordinary.
Dugu Yan gritted her teeth, and her First Soul Ring lit up, a layer of yellow light enveloping her entire body.
"First Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorous Red Poison."
Behind Dugu Yan, the head of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent appeared, and a cloud of red poisonous mist shot out from its mouth, enveloping the entire area and engulfing Jun Yi.
"The thing I'm least afraid of is area-of-effect (AOE) attacks."
Jun Yi smiled slightly, palm down, and a circle of silver-white energy rippled out, revealing a blue transparent ROOM space that enveloped the entire area.
Even the strongest poison couldn't harm him in the slightest. Jun Yi's lips curled into a mocking smile as he slightly raised a finger, "ROOM - Tact."
In an instant, the spreading poisonous mist stopped and quickly returned to Dugu Yan, which shocked Dugu Yan. She hurriedly circulated her Soul Power to try to control the red poisonous mist she had released.
No matter how hard Dugu Yan tried, she was unable to regain control of the poisonous fog and was instead surrounded by the red poisonous fog.
"It's over."
Just when Jun Yi thought that Dugu Yan had been poisoned by his poisonous mist, Dugu Yan broke through the mist in an instant, her body darting out like a serpent. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of Jun Yi Jun Yi, her sharp claws aimed straight at his face.
Jun Yi showed a hint of surprise on his face, but then he flipped his wrist and threw a punch, directly knocking Dugu Yan back.
"Huh, that's strange. Dugu Yan's speed and strength are much faster than before."
Although Jun Yi knew about Dugu Yan's Soul Skill, he didn't know them in great detail. Dugu Yan's first Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorous Red Poison, was a kind of stimulating poison. When released on an opponent, it could stimulate the human nerves, reducing their attack power and speed. However, if released on herself, it would amplify her power.
"Second Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorous Blue Poison."
Dugu Yan's Second Soul Ring lit up, and the emerald green snake pattern on her forehead shimmered with a faint light, revealing crystal-clear scales on her skin.
Dugu Yan spread her arms wide, and instantly, countless wisps of blue poisonous mist were released, enveloping both of them.
"Paralyzing poison?"
Jun Yi looked around and realized that he was surrounded by blue poisonous fog. He felt that this fog was not as rampant as the red fog he had just encountered, but rather drifted gently. After inhaling the toxins, he felt a Sisi numbness.
"It seems I'll still be affected by the toxins. I remember there's a Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that can make me immune to all poisons. I can eat it then."
After Jun Yi finished thinking, his gaze fell on Dugu Yan. He saw a faint blue halo flowing over her body, indicating that her defenses seemed to have been enhanced.
"How could this be? How come you're alright? Why didn't my Jade Phosphorous Blue Poison work on you?"
Dugu Yan found it hard to believe. Normally, Soul Elder would lose his fighting ability after absorbing his Blue Poison, but Jun Yi stood there as if nothing had happened.
"Very good poison," Jun Yi commented casually, then inhaled another mouthful of blue poison.
Seeing this, Dugu Yan became somewhat angry and charged at Jun Yi again, thinking that he was bluffing. However, when she touched Jun Yi's body, she was immediately blasted away and then fell back to the ground.
"What..."
It's over.
Then Dugu Yan felt a wave of dizziness. When she came to her senses, she saw Jun Yi holding a long, silver-white knife to her neck. With just a slight movement, she would surely die.
"I lost, you won."
Dugu Yan said bitterly, she never expected it to end like this, her poison had no effect on Jun Yi at all.
Jun Yi released the knife hilt and smiled, "Thank you for showing mercy, senior. From now on, we're classmates."
Hearing Jun Yi apologize, Dugu Yan understood that he was giving her a way out, but she was still somewhat angry. However, with Teacher Qin Ming watching, she couldn't show it, so she could only nod and say, "Yes, we'll be classmates from now on."
Jun Yi sheathed his longsword in his storage ring and smiled at Dugu Yan, saying, "Sister, when we were fighting just now, I sensed that you seemed to be poisoned."
