Liang Yu's eyes narrowed to slits. "What gutter-spawn dares address this master so?"

Qin Fen trembled. "Forgive him, Master Liang! My brother knows no decorum!" His plea wasn't for Qin Chen's sake—but fear of the Liang family's wrath.

"You passed your second-rank artificer trial mere days ago," Qin Chen remarked, fingers stroking his chin.

"What nonsense spews from your mouth?" Liang Yu's patience frayed. "Begone, lest I—"

"Drag him out!" Qin Fen roared, seizing Qin Chen's arm.

Qi surged through Qin Chen's meridians, repelling Qin Fen with a flick. The elder brother crashed against a pillar, fingers numb.

"You dare?!" Qin Fen lunged again, only to grasp air as Qin Chen sidestepped effortlessly.

"The fire-attribute spirit weapon you forged for certification—its core was Crimsonflame Stone."

"To stabilize it, you added Glimmerveil Ore." Qin Chen tsked. "A bold move—but Glimmerveil breeds Glamour Venom. And you ingested Frostbloom Elixir to counter it?"

"Frostbloom's chill accelerates the venom's spread." Qin Chen sighed. "A death warrant signed by your own hand."

Liang Yu's killing intent erupted—a Sky Realm cultivator's aura freezing the room.

"Lies! I'll have you exiled!" Qin Fen shouted, drenched in cold sweat.

"Too late." Liang Yu blurred into motion, qi-claw descending.

Qin Chen stood unwavering. "Does your Celestial Gate acupoint burn? Your Central Pivot meridian prickle like scorpion stings?"

The claw halted mid-air. Liang Yu convulsed.

"Three days ago, the venom reached Solar Plexus." Qin Chen's voice dripped frost. "Fifteen days until your meridians rot."

Zhao Lingshan approached. "Master, what—"

"OUT!" Liang Yu's roar sent her and Qin Fen scrambling.

Alone, the artificer hissed: "Who. Are. You?"

"Your executioner... or salvation." Qin Chen turned to leave.

Liang Yu blocked the exit. "Reveal your secrets!"

"Every qi surge deepens the venom's bite. Check your Solar Plexus now."

The artificer palmed his abdomen—and screamed.
