Chapter 12 - Backlash

Of course, the two of them could not swagger in through the front door of the dormitory and fight with Fang Xuan. They did not have the guts to challenge Leng Lingxiao.

He saw two people standing on the balcony on the third floor sneakily. Sun Tao flipped his fat hand, and a colorful scorpion quietly crawled in the former's palm.

This was an A-Grade beast, the Jade Scorpion Snake. It was an extremely sinister existence in the forest. It was said that it generally possessed extremely high intelligence. Coupled with its almost unsolvable poison, it was common for it to kill all kinds of S-Grade magical beasts.

However, it was precisely because of this that it lacked some ability to fight head-on, so it was barely assigned to Class A and did not develop further.

However, this was already enough. Sun Ming couldn't help but smile sinisterly when he saw this familiar emitting a dangerous luster.

'Fang Xuan, how dare you steal my limelight? I'll definitely cripple you this time.'

As he watched the Jade Scorpion Snake quietly enter Fang Xuan's dormitory, the former's smile grew wider. As his cousin, he knew the blue snake venom on the Jade Scorpion Snake the best. Now, he just had to wait for the show to start.

Sun Ming and Sun Tao quietly hid by the door of 303, waiting for the screams inside.

"Ah!!"

Damn! Sun Ming was shocked.

This scream was indeed tragic, but it actually came from Sun Tao.

Inside, Lan Yu was also shocked. He was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard such a scream.

Seeing Lan Yu go out to check on the situation, another person in the dormitory smiled imperceptibly.

This person was Fang Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged. A tiny ant was retreating back to his side along his sleeve.

It was true that the Jade Scorpion Snake's poison was powerful, but his God-Slaying Ant was an ancient divine beast, not to mention that it had been given the Earth Poison skill.

From the beginning, Fang Xuan had felt an inexplicable sense of hostility. Then, his Eye of Reconnaissance immediately discovered the two people sneaking around the door and the gorgeous beast. Therefore, he used a small trick—injecting the poison of the God-Slaying Ant into the Jade Scorpion Snake.

The Jade Scorpion Snake flipped over, and Sun Tao suffered a huge backlash.

At this moment, Lan Yu had just run out of the dormitory door when he saw the former rolling around on the ground. His entire face had turned a terrifying dark purple.

"W-What's going on, Student Sun Ming?"

Sun Ming finally came back to his senses after being yelled at. Seeing that more and more freshmen were gathering around him, he gritted his teeth and said, "F*ck, let's all take a look. Fang Xuan injured someone in public. Hurry up and inform the infirmary!"

As soon as he said this, Lan Yu couldn't stand it anymore.

"What? Fang Xuan only has an F-rank talent. As far as I know, this person should be Sun Tao, a collateral descendant of the Sun family. The beast he uses is an A-rank Jade Scorpion Snake, and it's even a second-year senior brother. He wouldn't be standing still and letting Fang Xuan hit him, would he?"

Sun Ming was at a loss for words. He opened his mouth for a long time, but no words came out.

However, the other students who were watching below began to whisper.

"That's right. Isn't Fang Xuan only an F-rank talent? How could he bully our senior to this extent?"

"Didn't Sun Ming say that he was completely lucky to kill the Thousand-legged Worm King? I'm so confused…"

At this moment, a disheveled young man yawned and walked out of the house.

"What's wrong? It seems to be quite lively outside today."

"Oh, isn't this Student Sun Ming? Look, I was sleeping soundly and didn't have time to entertain you. You must be tired from coming up from the second floor. Oh, where did this water injection pig come from?"

It was none other than Fang Xuan, who had been meditating with his legs crossed.

At this moment, he looked harmless as he curiously sized up the unconscious Sun Tao.

Sun Ming glared fiercely at Fang Xuan and Lan Yu. Then, he snorted angrily and dragged the unconscious Sun Tao away.

When the two of them returned to the dormitory, the onlookers gradually dispersed.

"These guys are really good at creating things out of nothing. They're sleeping."

After Lan Yu finished speaking, he flipped around on the bed and soon began to snore weakly.

Fang Xuan knew that he must have sensed something. Lan Yu was a smart person, and it was precisely because of his intelligence that he did not ask further.

It seemed that having this guy as a roommate was not bad.

At the same time, in the school infirmary.

Sun Tao lay on the white bedsheets with an ugly expression. At this moment, he had already been cured of the poison. Sun Ming lowered his head and did not dare to look into the former's eyes.

"What the hell is going on?"

There was no response.

Sun Ming cursed in his heart. He wanted to know what was going on even more.

After checking for a long time, there were only four words: Poison Backlash.

However, there was usually only a backlash when he crushed the other party by several levels. He, Fang Xuan, was just a noob with an F-rank talent. Moreover, there was no news that Fang Xuan would use poison.

"T-Who knows? I've been teammates with Fang Xuan in the Misty Forest for an entire day, but I didn't see him have the slightest ability to use poison."

Sun Tao narrowed his eyes.

"Misty Forest? Could it be that something happened to the Jade Scorpion Snake?"

He seemed to be deep in thought. "Previously, my Jade Scorpion Snake was bitten by the Thousand-legged Worm King in the Misty Forest. I almost died in that godforsaken place. It was only because my mentor saved my life back then. Could it be…"

Sun Ming quickly agreed as if he was grabbing onto a life-saving straw.

"Yes, yes, it must be that the Thousand-legged Worm King's toxicity is slightly higher than the Jade Scorpion Snake's. Ever since then, it has been suffering from a hidden illness. TThe illness was triggered."

"That trash with F talent can't even carry my cousin's shoes, let alone harm you."

No matter what, he had to clear his name! If Sun Tao found out that his information was wrong, he would be in trouble. The school was different from the outside world. He was the young master of a direct family outside and was a younger brother in school. He had to listen to Sun Tao.

Sun Tao picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Then, with a little force, the tea cup instantly shattered into pieces on the ground, and the splashing tea covered Sun Ming's face.

Although the latter was unhappy, he could only hold it in.

"Look at your face. You're a fence-sitter."

After pondering for a moment, a ferocious glint appeared in Sun Tao's eyes.

"I've made a fool of myself today. Coupled with the previous conflict, I'll return it to that kid when I have the chance."

Sun Ming didn't even dare to speak. He was afraid that this temperamental cousin in front of him would flare up again and cause him trouble.

He also vaguely sensed that this Fang Xuan seemed to have some special characteristics, but he couldn't put his finger on it. To put it crudely, he was just too lucky. However, since the grudge between the two of them had already been formed, he would just sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight.

He understood that Sun Tao wasn't such a magnanimous person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have awakened such a vicious beast.

On the other hand, Fang Xuan didn't know that a heated discussion was going on because of him, the night quickly passed.
