Chapter 255: Marrying Such a Wife, It Must Be Hard for Him
As time passed, the final competition day arrived quickly.
Outside the Pope's Hall.
Members of the Heaven Dou Team 2 and the Golden Generation exchanged glances, looking puzzled.
What happened to the Heaven Dou Team 1? Even the leader didn't show up. Instead, the captain, Kong, appeared alone in the position of the Heaven Dou Team 1.
What was going on? "Kong, what happened to you guys?"
The former captain of Team 2 asked softly, but wasn't everyone here a soul master? They all pricked up their ears out of curiosity, waiting to hear how Kong would answer.
Hearing this, Kong showed a bitter smile, spread his hands helplessly, and said, "Everyone got food poisoning. Only I... only I am immune to all poisons, which is why I escaped unscathed."
"They can't come to the scene."
Yes, even the team leader Qin Ming got food poisoning. Not only that, but even Dugu Yan was poisoned! Among the entire Heaven Dou Team 1, only Kong ran fast enough to avoid food poisoning and come to the competition site.
"What? Everyone in your Heaven Dou Team 1 except you got poisoned?"
The former captain of Team 2 was shocked, his face changing dramatically. He immediately thought, this must have been done by the Spirit Hall! Because the Heaven Dou Team 2 couldn't have done this. Even though they were competitors, they were from the same academy, and the supervising teachers wouldn't allow it. As students of Tiandou Royal Academy, their pride wouldn't allow such actions.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene became lively.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. This was the first time since the start of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition!
Except for Kong, the entire team was "wiped out"! "Who could have poisoned them?"
"It's impossible that it was Team 2..."
"Could it be... no, impossible! The Spirit Hall would never stoop so low!"
"Who could have done this?"
"Using such a despicable method of poisoning beforehand is really..."
Hearing everyone's discussions, Kong's eye twitched, and he explained, "It's not as you all imagine!"
Everyone instinctively stopped talking, looking at Kong, wanting to hear what he had to say.
After saying this, Kong felt a little regret.
How could he say such a thing! Feeling everyone's burning gaze, Kong braced himself and said, "It's... it's my wife. She invited everyone to taste her cooking, which led to the food poisoning. It's not her fault, after all, she isn't very skilled at cooking..."
"???"
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned! Goodness! A tasting, and the entire team got wiped out, how terrible could the food be!
How did they even manage to eat it?
Ha...
People wanted to laugh but glanced at the dark-faced Kong and held it in.
Marrying such a wife, it must be hard for him, right? Hahaha...
By the way, what did Kong say about immunity to all poisons...
"Kong, is that how you became immune to all poisons?"
Tang San instinctively asked.
Unlike everyone else, he was more focused on Kong's so-called immunity to all poisons, rather than the food poisoning.
Food poisoning is quite normal; when certain normal foods mix, they can become toxic.
For Tang San, who was skilled in poisons, this wasn't surprising at all.
If his guess was correct, Kong often ate such food, combined with his own strong soul power, which suppressed the poisons.
Over time, he naturally became immune to all poisons! Hearing this, Kong trembled all over and instinctively looked at Tang San. This guy couldn't be thinking...
"Yes, that's exactly how it happened!"
Kong quickly nodded without any hesitation. "Not only do you have to eat, but you also need to eat more to develop immunity."
"That's how it is!"
Tang San looked thoughtful upon Kong's return.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Could this method really result in immunity to all poisons? For a long time to come, the soul masters present and those who heard this news cursed vehemently, blaming Kong for deceiving Tang San and dragging everyone else down with them!
At this moment, Tang San believed Kong's story. He planned to try it after the competition. If it could make him immune to all poisons, it would make creating poisons much more convenient.
Enduring some hardship in the process was nothing.
Thinking this, Tang San's lips curved slightly upward. Kong had revealed such an important secret!
Completely unaware of how miserable this would make him, Tang San was thinking about fooling Kong.
The finals consisted of individual and team battles. Even though only Kong came from the Heaven Dou Team 1, it didn't matter. His teammates could simply be considered as having automatically forfeited.
On the Golden Generation's side, they exchanged glances, seeing this as an opportunity!
Of course, they were still no match for Kong in the morning's individual battle. But in the afternoon's team battle, as long as they won, they could compete with Kong for the final championship.
The ultimate battle was still a team battle, meaning they could fight seven against one!
How was this not an opportunity? This was a tournament, not a life-and-death battle. As long as they knocked Kong out of the ring, they could win.
"A heaven-sent opportunity, everyone, should we give it a try?"
"Let's try it, I agree! I can't resign myself to giving up just like that!"
"I agree too. Heaven Dou Team 1 is in such a state, even the heavens want us to win!"
"Given this opportunity, if we don't seize it, we will regret it for life."
"Even if we lose, I'd rather lose in the ring than surrender directly. Even if I end up bedridden for six months, I want to give it a try!"
Seeing that no one objected, Xie Yue nodded and said, "Alright! It's decided!"
"In the afternoon, we'll take down Heaven Dou Team 2 in one go, then restore our soul power well to prepare for tomorrow's battle!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Everyone shouted loudly, afraid others wouldn't hear.
Kong: "..."
Tang San: "..."
Heaven Dou Team 2: "..."
It was rare for Kong and Tang San to fall silent together with the others.
Is it really okay to conspire like this in front of them? "If you really dare to go on stage, I don't mind playing with you at half my strength!"
Kong chuckled and said.
"You... don't look down on us..."
Yan was originally quite angry, but after thinking it over, he rolled his eyes and said, "We're so weak, dare you only use thirty percent of your strength!"
"Ah~"
Hu Liena and Xie Yue gasped. Was this really the Yan they knew? Since when had he become so clever?
Knowing Yan, he couldn't have said such a thing!
Hearing this, Kong was stunned for a moment, looked at Yan in surprise, then nodded and said, "If you can defeat Tang San and the others, I agree!"
Thirty percent it is... (Chapter ends)
