"Che!" Xi Murong sucked his teeth when Yuan could see through his movement technique, but he wasn't too surprised, considering his opponent was a genius from the upper heavens.
Right as Yuan's spear reached him, Xi Murong's speed abruptly increased, and his figure disappeared again.
A split second later, Xi Murong appeared behind Yuan with his dagger diving toward his neck.
[Absolute Penetration]
'No matter how sturdy your body is, this technique will allow me to bypass all of your defenses!'
Sure enough, Xi Murong managed to cut Yuan's skin, but only the tip of his blade managed to penetrate his flesh. Still, he'd managed to make Yuan bleed, an astonishing feat that most wouldn't be able to accomplish.
Yet, Xi Murong wasn't finished. After drawing Yuan's blood, he activated another skill that injected poison directly into Yuan's body through the dagger and his wound.
Xi Murong quickly distanced himself afterward. Realizing that Xi Murong had poisoned him, Yuan decided to play along and pretended to be affected.
"W-what did you do to my body?!"
"I just poisoned you with a deadly poison that will melt your internal organs. You'll experience excruciating pain for a bit, but you won't die because of the formation." Xi Murong announced proudly.
"Ah!" Yuan fell to his knees and began trembling and screaming in pain.
"Hahaha! This is what happens when you underestimate us! Know your place!" Xi Murong laughed loudly.
The spectators were in shock, and they began to believe that Xi Murong had won the fight.
However, Kelan suddenly shouted, "You fool! You're the one who is underestimating him! Check his body with divine sense!"
"What?" Xi Murong frowned and probed Yuan with his divine sense.
"M-my poison is gone?! Where did it go?!"
At this point, Yuan stopped pretending to claw at his body from the pain and calmly stood back up.
"Your poison? My poison immunity dealt with it the second it entered my body." Yuan casually explained.
"Poison immunity?!" Xi Murong and the others exclaimed in shock.
Poison immunity was one of the most tedious and painful immunities to attain, so it came as a great shock that someone so young had managed to attain such immunity.
"He has not only Fire Harmony but also poison immunity at that age…" Kelan's expression turned solemn, looking like he was pondering something.
Unbeknownst to Kelan, Yuan's poison immunity had reached the maximum level, just like his fire immunity. Otherwise, his reaction would've been a lot more exaggerated.
"Y-you!" Xi Murong was speechless, but above all, he felt embarrassed.
