Cultivation Online-Novel

Chapter 1312  Poison

"You want to spar with me? Why?" Yuan asked the Player out of curiosity.

"My reason…? I want to see how powerful you are— to confirm whether you are as strong as they say." Muwi said.

"I see." Yuan inspected Muwi .

He was only a Spirit Master, and it looked like he'd made the breakthrough very recently.

An opponent of this level was akin to an ant before Yuan. In fact, he could erase Muwi without lifting a finger.

However, Yuan sensed several more presences appearing not far away and wanted to use this opportunity to spread his own presence even more.

"I don't mind a spar, but the difference in our cultivation is very vast. Even if I limit myself and don't use any spiritual energy, I might kill you by accident. Are you okay with that?" Yuan asked Muwi.

"I-I don't mind!" Muwi said with a nervous smile on his face.

Yuan couldn't fathom why Movie was willing to risk his own cultivation to confirm his strength. Of course, Yuan had no intention of killing Muwi for real.

"Shall we get this start then?" Yuan summoned his Empyrean Overlord and casually stood there.

'That sword! He's really Player Yuan!' Muwi finally confirmed Yuan's identity after seeing his sword.

Since anyone could get their hands on a black jade mask, Muwi wasn't exactly sure if the person before him was Player Yuan. However, his large sword was something unique and had been recalled many times by those who were struck by it during the Mystic Realm.

While there was still a small chance that the person before him could be an impersonator, Muwi did not believe that was the case, as he could feel the immense difference between their strength even without having the capability to see Yuan's true cultivation, and his instincts were screaming for him to leave.

Muwi retrieved his own weapon a moment later, wielding two short swords, one in each hand.

It was at this moment the other presences that Yuan had sensed early showed up.

"Wow! The rumors are true! Player Yuan is in the Enchanted Bamboo Forest!"

"Who's the one pointing his swords at Player Yuan?"

"Hm? Isn't that Player Muwi the Player Challenger? I heard some time ago that a Player wielding two swords was going around challenging Players, fighting stronger opponents as he went. Apparently, he's never lost a fight. He even defeated someone in the top 1,000."

"But to go for Player Yuan… isn't he just begging for defeat at this point?"

Muwi ignored the spectators and acted as though they didn't even exist.

"Don't go easy on me." Muwi suddenly said.

"If I don't hold back, this will be over before you can even blink." Yuan shook his head.

Despite such arrogant words, Muwi did not take offense to it.

"I don't care. Just don't go easy on me." Muwi suddenly took an offensive stance.

Yuan smiled and said, "At least show me that you aren't a waste of my time."

Muwi released a low roar before rushing at Yuan with both arms in motion.

[Twin Serpents' Bloodthirst!]

Muwi's swords became coated with a green aura after he activated his skill, his body overflowing with spiritual energy.

Once he was close enough, Muwi activated another skill.

[Twin Serpents' Dance!]

Muwi's arms flickered wildly as he swung his swords in a seemingly random manner.

Yuan did not move a single step and blocked all of the incoming strikes without using any spiritual energy.

However, Muwi did not stop his relentless attack even after they were blocked.

'That's right! Keep blocking my attacks!' Muwi smiled inwardly.

The green aura covering his swords wasn't just for show and was actively releasing poison. This poison was odorless and invisible to the eyes, and while it may lack strength at first, if enough was consumed, it could take out even a Spirit Lord.

'You are just like everyone else, Player Yuan! Underestimating me will be your downfall! Just a little more and I will be known as the first Player to defeat you!' Muwi could already envision his victory.

"Look at how vicious and fast he is! How is Player Yuan even blocking these attacks?!" The spectators were left speechless by Miwu's performance.

"Why isn't he fighting back and only defending? Is he so overwhelmed by Player Miwu's relentless attacks that he cannot do so?"

"Are you stupid? Look at Player Yuan's fluid and minimal movement. He's effortlessly blocking those attacks! This is probably nothing more than child's play for him," said someone with more combat experience. A few minutes later.

Muwi's eyes flickered with a vicious light.

"It's over for you, Player Yuan! Twin Serpent's Outburst!"

After uttering such words, Yuan suddenly stopped moving.

<You have been poisoned!>

<You have been afflicted with Twin Serpent's Invisible Poison!>

<Absolute Regeneration has been activated>

The Twin Serpent's Invisible Poison was destroying Yuan from the inside at a rapid rate, but it wasn't enough to keep up with his Absolute Regeneration, and it took less than two seconds for Yuan to suppress the poison.

<Twin Serpent's Invisible Poison has been neutralized>

<Poison Resistance has increased significantly>

Muwi, who wasn't aware that Yuan had already neutralized his poison, laughed out loud, "My Twin Serpent's Invisible Poison can kill even a Spirit Lord within 2 minutes, and I waited 5 whole minutes just for you, Player Yuan!"

"You're probably in so much pain that you can't speak or move right now! Don't worry, it will only last for a moment… because you will die soon!"

'Poison, huh?' Yuan sighed inwardly. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

Though inherently resilient against physical harm, Yuan remained susceptible to assaults that targeted his internal body, such as poison. Fortunately for him, Muwi's poison wasn't too strong, or he would've sustained much more damage.

'I should increase my poison resistance a little more in the future just in case I encounter someone with even stronger poison.' Yuan didn't expect to gain insight in such an insignificant spar with another Player, and he silently thanked Muwi for it.

"Poison, huh? I didn't expect that." Yuan said a moment later, shocking Muwi.

"W-What? How are you still standing?!" Muwi exclaimed with a look of disbelief on his face.
