Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 464 Martial Arts Sparring (Part 7)

Like a seed, no matter how hard its shell is, what awakens its inner self is only the warm sunlight and the gentle flow of water.

"Okay. It's good that Senior Sister knows." Han Yi nodded and prepared to leave.

Staying too late might disturb Zhong Han's rest, which could affect tomorrow's competition, and that would be bad.

But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something else.

He thought of something they had talked about last time.

"Blood Explosion Fire Poison" is a uniquely developed compound poison that is colorless and odorless, and can act on a martial artist's body through force.

This was the first time Han Yi had come into contact with a special poison that could ignore the martial artist's physical defenses.

He was also quite shocked.

Based on this, they reminded Han Yi that high-end poisons with special properties that could affect martial artists were not uncommon in their circle of aristocratic young masters.

As for why these young masters and noblemen need these high-end poisons... their purpose is mostly to satisfy their perverse desires.

Compared to ordinary women, female martial arts instructors are all outstanding in temperament and beautiful in appearance.

After all, with the support of their inner strength, female martial artists age slowly, have supple and slender waists, and graceful figures. Even if their appearance is average, their overall demeanor is still quite impressive, far surpassing that of ordinary women.

Furthermore, female martial arts practitioners are physically far superior to ordinary people.

Many unique body poses and tricks can be easily performed, which is why they are very popular among people in the community.

Although Chen Lingmo doesn't usually show his face in public, very little information about him is exposed.

But as long as you're human, you need to communicate, and you'll have your own social circles.

As they are both in the same circle, I naturally have some understanding of Chen Lingmo's personality.

Chen Lingmo is petty and vindictive. He often resorts to any means to achieve his goals. He has a history of using poison to commit some despicable acts, so he has a bad reputation in the industry.

It was precisely because of this that Han Yi subconsciously kept a reminder.

Since this person is the kind of person who leaves no room for maneuver and doesn't care about their reputation, it's hard to say whether they might use some underhanded tactics during a friendly exchange.

He reminded her, "By the way, senior sister, I heard from a friend that Chen Lingmo relies on her father's high status to do things without any scruples, and often crosses the line to do some outrageous things..."

He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "If you fight him, Senior Sister, you must be careful of his additional methods, such as poisoning or sneak attacks."

Such underhanded tactics as poisoning and hidden weapons may not be noticeable during combat, but they can be easily detected if one is on guard and prepared.

That's why he specifically pointed this out to Zhong Han.

"You don't need to worry about that," Zhong Han chuckled, covering her mouth. "This is a fair and square sparring match, there won't be any problems."

In a wild encounter, one will naturally resort to any means necessary to kill the other.

However, the rules for sparring and competition are completely different.

Since the announced sparring match is ostensibly an exchange between two sects, the large group of people sitting nearby will be watching. If Chen Lingmo were to harbor any ulterior motives or resort to underhanded tactics at this time, even without the intervention of the higher-ups at Jingtian Manor, his father, in order to protect the sect's reputation, would be the first to jump out and kill him.

Han Yi was taken aback, then realized, "That's true, it seems I was overthinking it."

He had this idea just as he was about to leave, and without thinking much about it, he blurted it out.

But upon closer examination, it simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

"Alright, Junior Brother Han, you don't need to worry about this. I'm quite confident." Zhong Han smiled, though she didn't really take Han Yi's words seriously.

Poisoned?

Martial arts masters, especially those who have cultivated to her current level of true skill, all have their entire bodies circulating energy and automatically protecting themselves at all times. What kind of poison could be effective against a martial arts master?

Moreover, martial artists develop extremely high resistance to various abnormal states, poisons, and drugs through the tempering of their internal energy. She herself had undergone similar training and possessed extremely high resistance to toxins. Ordinary sedatives and highly toxic substances were ineffective against her, even when she actively used her internal energy for protection, despite the dosage being equivalent to that of dozens of people.

Moreover, in front of everyone, the other side must have lost their mind to think of such a stupid method as poison.

As for other methods like hidden weapons and sneak attacks, they are trivial and insignificant, not worth mentioning.

Han Yi's well-intentioned reminder still had no effect on her, but she still felt a warmth in her heart.

Whether it's concern from acquaintances or strangers, it will always have this effect.

She smiled playfully and suddenly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, you've changed quite a bit these past few days."

When Han Yi first joined the sect, he had just fled from Pingzhou and had little money. He was about the same height as Zhong Han, maybe a little taller.

The two years spent in Jingtian Manor were precisely the critical period for physical development, and with the nourishment of plenty of demon beast meat and the support of various martial arts training.

His current physique is completely different from when he first started; it's as if he's a different person.

Its head alone is nearly two meters long.

This is just the difference in height, not to mention the difference in muscle mass. He has completely shed the boyishness of two years ago and is now a tall, imposing adult man with an exceptionally striking physique.

Zhong Han and Han Yi stood side by side. Her hair, which was tied up high, barely reached the tip of Han Yi's nose.

The size difference between the two is roughly the same as the difference between a big bad wolf and a little white rabbit.

This is also why Zhong Han sighed.

"Yes... all these changes came about after I came to Jiuqu Academy..." Han Yi seemed to have some感慨 (feelings of deep emotion), his voice low, "That's why I cherish my life now... I don't want this peace to be broken..."

"...If I could continue living such a peaceful and stable life, it wouldn't be a bad choice..."

He had a premonition that this long period of peace and stability would one day be shattered...

The demonic calamity in Pingzhou is escalating, and the current temporary peace is ultimately just a mirage, a fleeting illusion.

The reason why Jingtian Manor can enjoy such a long period of leisure and not detect any danger is entirely because it is located in the heart of Yunzhou, far away from the most dangerous battleground.
