"It’s so damn weird."

Tang Xinhai and Tang Ming couldn’t help but start swearing, stunned by Hua Yingjie’s performance.

"Tang Xinhai, what’s the principle here?"

Tang Ming swallowed hard, uncertainly looking at Tang Xinhai: "The poison here would require effort from both of us to resist, but why isn’t he affected, and his strength has increased so much?"

"If you ask me, who should I ask?"

Tang Xinhai shrugged, staring hotly at Hua Yingjie: "Looks like the legend is true; the Li family siblings can find luck here, and the tale of their cultivation advancing rapidly is true, but why?"

"What are you guys talking about? What’s happening to me?"

Hua Yingjie looked at Tang Ming and Tang Xinhai, bewildered.

"Come, come, let me check your pulse and see what the situation is."

Tang Xinhai pulled Hua Yingjie into a corner to start diagnosing him.

"I’ll study it too."

With interest, Tang Ming joined in, and then...

Tang Ming and Tang Xinhai treated Hua Yingjie like a guinea pig, starting to research and explore him.

With their medical skill and poison skill, they couldn’t comprehend what was going on.

Tang Ming and the others were busy in the corner while the commotion around them grew louder.

The capable ones hid themselves, resisting the toxic gas while avoiding detection by those mutated monsters, while the unlucky ones either turned into monsters or were killed by them. The scene was chaotic.

Those poisoned and transformed into monsters had lost their sanity but obtained terrifying strength, rampaging and causing destruction everywhere.

That’s why the room was in such disarray; it seems each generation someone would go crazy from poisoning, such a disregard for human life.

Tang Ming and Tang Xinhai dispersed their Dust Gu around to protect and conceal themselves, unaffected by the monsters’ rampage.

"Strange! This should be an enhancement from genetic mutation; he seems to have no toxic reaction at all."

"Indeed! So, what is deadly poison to us is a spiritual elixir to improve his genes."

"It’s unscientific; what makes his body different from others?"

"I can’t find anything either; maybe he’s just lucky?"

...

The two sat across from each other, examining Hua Yingjie, discussing what was happening? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Haha, I don’t know either."

Sitting in the corner, Hua Yingjie felt unwillingly exposed under their scrutiny.

Eventually, he didn’t bother with Tang Ming and Tang Xinhai anymore, opting to breathe deeply, hoping to absorb more poison and enhance his body.

"Forget it, I can’t figure it out, it’s unsolvable."

After a while, Tang Xinhai sighed, giving up.

Tang Ming also felt stumped, glancing at the chaotic surroundings: "You say there are many martial generals hidden within the participants; wouldn’t they act while these monsters wreak havoc? A martial general’s casual move should handle these monsters."

"You think everyone is reckless like you? Since they’re concealing their identities, naturally, they don’t want to expose their true abilities."

Tang Xinhai squinted into the distance: "We only destroyed the monitors around us, but there are probably dozens of night-vision cameras in the room, tracking others’ every move. Anyone exposing martial general cultivation now would reveal their identity."

"Makes sense! Though I don’t care about revealing my identity, I can’t be bothered unless the monsters come for me."

Tang Ming nodded, sitting cross-legged, began cultivation, resulting in...

"What’s the situation?"

Just then, Tang Xinhai abruptly opened his eyes, looking grim.

"The monsters have all surrounded us."

Tang Ming stopped moving, while the chaotic sounds ceased temporarily.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Hua Yingjie asked Tang Xinhai and Tang Ming, puzzled.

"Relocate."

Tang Xinhai and Tang Ming quickly pulled Hua Yingjie to move.

They swiftly relocated, but before the three could settle, the monsters surrounded them again.

After several relocations with the same result, Tang Xinhai and Tang Ming were frustrated, feeling targeted by the monsters.

"What’s going on?"

Tang Ming stared at Tang Xinhai, confused.

"I don’t know. Perhaps he’s attracting them."

Tang Xinhai furrowed his brow at Hua Yingjie.

"I didn’t do anything!"

Hua Yingjie shook his head quickly.

"These monsters have suddenly become more orderly, as if controlled."

Tang Ming frowned, uncertainly, "Previously, encountering poisonous people didn’t lead to conflict, but the one I met attacked me. Could I be the cause?"

"If you put it that way, it could very well be your doing, so..."

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Just then, four monsters appeared together, cornering Tang Ming and the others.

"My goodness."

Seeing so many monsters simultaneously, Hua Yingjie paled, exclaiming.

"Stop yelling! With your Six-star Martial Master strength now, these monsters shouldn’t be able to kill you."

Tang Xinhai glared at Hua Yingjie, grabbing Tang Ming’s shoulder and throwing him out.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Tang Ming shouted angrily.

"Since you caused the trouble, you should resolve it. I can’t expose my strength."

Tang Xinhai responded justifiably.

"Damn it!"

Tang Ming cursed, summoning Gang Qi, kicking one monster’s chest mid-air, sending it flying.

As a Nine-star Martial Master, the monsters posed little threat to Tang Ming, but then...

The kicked monster should’ve stayed down, but before Tang Ming could steady himself, the monster jumped back up, unaffected in agility.

"Is this an Undying Body?"

Tang Ming stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
