As Tu Hong collapsed to the ground, the other mbers of the Tu family rushed to examine his condition.
Aside from being immobilized, he was fine.
Tu Yu’s face twisted with anger as he roared, “Did you ddle with this?”
“ddle?” Ren Baqian laughed, touched the cage with his hand, and asked, “Why don’t you touch it?”
“I will do it!” A heroic and fearless looking guard moved forward to pull the steel bars of the cage and broke two of them instantly.
“Huh? I’m fine?” The guard was prepared to be sent collapsing to the ground and was slightly anxious. Contrary to his expectations, when nothing happened, he scratched his head in surprise.
“Did you apply poison earlier and remove it just now?” Tu Yu suddenly thought of this idea and said firmly, “You removed the poison from the steel bars when you touched them!”
Ren Baqian was a man with so status after all. Although other people didn’t always rember his past, it was very easy for people to associate him with this since he was the one who had poisoned tens of thousands of people to death in Great Xia,
“Why don’t you touch it and see.” Ren Baqian laughed.
“Let do it!” Another guard ca forward to touch the cage and nothing happened.
Tu Yu acted as if he had discovered that Ren Baqian had used poison and roared loudly, “It’s as expected! You really used poison! Naturally, it’s alright to touch after you have removed the poison! It was supposed to be a duel, but you actually used poison!”
“Poison?” The audience beca chaotic.
If Ren Baqian used actually poison in this competition, then he had gone too far.
To prove that his conjecture wasn’t wrong, Tu Yu stretched his hand to touch the cage and nothing happened.
“You see? You were using poison!”
Before his voice had faded, a strong electric current passed through his body, sending him into spasms. As smoke started to co out of his head, a burning sll was detected.
The current is slightly too strong, Ren Baqian said to himself. He had tweaked the dial in his sleeve to adjust the current, but it was a little too high.
Fortunately, it didn’t kill anyone.
“Tu Yu?” The crowd beca rowdy again after seeing Tu Yu’s reaction.
“You really used poison!”
Ren Baqian pointed randomly at soone and asked, “Do you want to touch it?”
“Touch it? No problem!” Without another word, that fellow ca forward to touch the steel bars without any adverse effects.
“Let do it.” Another person went to touch the steel bars and collapsed after trembling for a while.
“My turn!” Yet another guy ca up without it affecting him at all.
These people were confused. Why were they selectively affected?
The crowd at ringside also couldn’t understand.
If poison was applied and then removed, the process still needed to take so ti. Out of two people who went up, one was fine and the other was knocked out. How was this done?
One trembled instantly after touching the steel bars, but surprisingly, another person touching the cage on the other side didn’t feel anything. Based on their conjectures, it wasn’t possible for Ren Baqian to affect two people on two different sides at the sa ti.
Subsequently, the two collapsed to the ground while trembling.
“That’s why it’s said that having no education is dangerous!” Ren Baqian casually comnted.
“What have you done to them?!” soone protested loudly.
“It’s just an electric shock, and they should be fine soon.” Ren Baqian turned to look at Xin Zhe, who was on the stage, and asked, “Is it almost ti?”
“Black Bamboo Academy’s principal wins again!” Xin Zhe announced from the stage.
A cheer erupted from a corner of the crowd where the students from the academy were gathered. They had guessed the trick used by Ren Baqian and roared with laughter after seeing the bewildered expressions of mbers in the Tu family that Ren Baqian had played this prank on.
As for the rest of the crowd, they looked solemn as they still couldn’t figure out how Ren Baqian had done this.
“Sir Ren, did you use poison?” Tong Zhenye stood up and asked a question which many people were harboring in their hearts.
“Of course not! Do you think I have the ability to poison a Cardinal Heaven expert?” Ren Baqian asked with a smile.
Their faces were filled with doubt because it was a very difficult task to poison a Cardinal Heaven expert in such a short period of ti. However, Ren Baqian was a Poison Warrior, so this made people suspicious of him.
“To ascertain whether they were poisoned, you can get a doctor to confirm it.” Ren Baqian put the tal clamp back into the box and ca out of the cage with the box.
“What’s inside the box?” soone asked imdiately.
“What’s inside the box…? You will not understand even if I tell you. Surely you can’t expect a Man Wheel grand expert to compete with a Cardinal Heaven expert while unard?” Ren Baqian remarked as he walked.
The crowd was silenced. What was a “Man Wheel grand expert?” Was he being shaless?
A Man Wheel expert was equivalent to an aboriginal Four-way Heaven expert, but with less fighting ability. At most, this was the level of an ordinary aboriginal person.
However, who would declare sothing so shaless that they would say an ordinary person wasn’t allowed to use other weapons when competing against a Cardinal Heaven expert.
Furthermore, the competition between these two was essentially external items versus innate combat ability. This was clear to everyone.
The crowd didn’t know what to say as they watched Ren Baqian walk away leisurely while the Tu family beca like a background scene.
Most people were dumbstruck, and this competition had a great impact on them.
In the eyes of the aboriginals, a Cardinal Heaven expert was an apex master and reaching this level was the lifeti goal of every aboriginal, but the results of these contests were rather disappointing as they concluded with two successive defeats handed out by a Man Wheel expert.
Although these two contests weren’t representative of the whole situation, it was enough to illustrate so issues.
Ren Baqian was very satisfied because these two matches should be able to change the mindset of so of the people.
With this change in mindset, it would be easier to get things done in the future.
In addition, the students from the academy wouldn’t be treated with contempt in the future.
As Ren Baqian approached the empress, the attention of the crowd was drawn toward the people on the stage,
Emanating from the stage, a highly charged atmosphere was detected.
Tu Hong was covered with dark blue veins all over his body as he stood up stiffly from the ground and roared, “I refuse to accept this!”
Ren Baqian imdiately turned to look at Tu Hong with a mocking expression and asked, “Do you still want to compete?”
“Let’s compete one more ti! I do not believe that I can’t defeat you after spending so much effort to achieve the Cardinal Heaven level!” Tu Hong roared angrily. He found it unacceptable, he was full of grievances, and he felt enraged.
“How do you want to compete?” Ren Baqian felt that he should give his opponent a chance.
“Compete based on fist power!” Tu Hong replied without hesitation.
“Your fists are bigger than mine, but if we compete based on destructive power, I can accept it. Just find an object and we will compare our destructive power on it. According to my calculations, seven days from now should be an auspicious day,” Ren Baqian said.
“Alright, we will compete this way!” Tu Hong replied. After he closed his eyes, his skin burst open, blood sprayed out from the surface of his skin, and he collapsed.
“He has expended too much blood essence, and his body can’t take it anymore. Your Majesty, I will send him to the clinic,” Tu Wan said as she cupped her hands and requested permission from the empress. Then, she dropped down beside Tu Hong, lifted him up, and disappeared without a trace.
