Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Rui looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, walked to Master Aldass, let the master smell it, and listened to a few whispers. Then he hurriedly prepared a bottle of antidote, drank it first, and then gritted his teeth and drank Sandru's bottle of poison.
One second, two seconds... one minute, two minutes passed, and the human still did not fall down, but showed a look of surprise, as if the antidote prescribed by Master Aldass worked. The audience cheered immediately. No matter what, at least it saved the face for Dark Moon City. Only those who bet on humans to be poisoned looked bitter.
Chen Rui was of course surprised, because the progress of the super system startup that had been progressing with difficulty really began to rise, 91.5%!
The effect is not bad, it actually rose by 1.5% under the premise of completing so much progress!
The two referee masters looked at Chen Rui, who was safe and sound, in surprise, and set their eyes on Sandru. Sandru was very surprised. He didn't expect that Aldas was so powerful that he could analyze the composition of the poison just by smelling it.
"Humph, it was just luck." Sandru's surprise lasted only a few seconds, and he immediately started to prepare the medicine again. Just now it was just a test. The human apprentice was a novice at first glance, so there was no need to worry about the speed. He could prepare the complex poison with peace of mind.
Ten minutes later, Sandru's new medicine came out again, and Chen Rui just barely mixed part of the formula according to the proportion. Even the audience who didn't know much about it could see from Aldas's anxious look that the situation was not good.
Just like the last time, Chen Rui nervously took the potion again, accepted Aldas' analysis and instructions, drank the prepared antidote first, and then drank Sandru's poison.
The result once again surprised the pharmacist genius and pharmacy masters. After a period of time, the human was still alive and kicking. Amid the roar of the audience, the progress of the system startup had reached 94%.
Chen Rui tried his best to hide his excitement: Let the storm come more violently!
In order to arouse Sandru's desire to win, when testing the poison for the third time, Chen Rui showed a look of pain, holding his stomach and slowly sitting on the ground, his body trembling slightly, and his subtle and delicate performance style lifted the hearts of the audience. Even Athena couldn't help but stand up worriedly.
In the focus of everyone's eyes, the human stood up again shakily, staggered a few steps, and finally stood firm, panting and walking towards the table, showing a look of surviving a disaster.
Athena cheered with everyone, only the little loli on the side calmly shook her head: To use the new term of humans, this kind of acting is too lacking in connotation, at most it is the level of a box lunch. If this princess played, at least she could get the best nomination for the card tearing...
"This is impossible!" Sandru's face was full of disbelief, and he gritted his teeth and shouted.
He has been crowned with the aura of genius for nearly a hundred years. When he was famous in the empire in the early days, the impoverished dark elf didn't know where to be an apprentice. If it weren't for the oath of the new poison, he would have become a master long ago. Even those pharmacy masters respected him.
How could such a mediocre person who barely passed the master's examination with the support and funding of the eldest princess crack the new poison that he, a master-level genius, had secretly made for many years!
As we all know, detoxification is much more difficult than poisoning, and in this case, it is also limited by time and materials. Could it be that someone gave the new poison that he had secretly developed for many years to Aldas in advance, so that the other party could research the antidote? This assumption is obviously impossible.
Like many cities in the Demon Realm, the residents of the Dark Moon Territory have a strong sense of regionalism. Although Chen Rui is a human being and is also hostile, in the eyes of these audiences today, this apprentice represents the Dark Moon, and the talents in the imperial capital are outsiders, so they all booed Sandru.
"With such a weak body, you still want to challenge Master Aldass!"
"That genius, he can't even beat the weakest apprentice of our Dark Moon, go back to the imperial capital and suck milk!"
"I think the medicine he prepared can't even kill a worm. If it were me, it would be easier than that human!"
"..."
Sanderlu has been the first genius for many years, and he has never been despised like this. He was so angry that his face turned blue. Now the most powerful counterattack is to poison the human opposite to the bone, so that those audiences can shut their damn mouths.
Sanderlu took a deep breath, and his arrogance disappeared. He finally calmed down. Since this Aldass is a hidden master, he should also go all out, exert his strongest strength, and defeat his opponent.
This time, Sandru is going to prepare the highest achievement of his research over the years, the soul-eating poison. After the research was successful, this soul-eating poison was tested on a wyvern, which was highly toxic. As a result, even the wyvern could not withstand the poison and died. It is very difficult to prepare the soul-eating poison. Even at Sandru's current level, there is a certain chance of failure, which will be accompanied by great danger, but Sandru can no longer care about so much. He wants to prove to everyone that he, Sandru, is the most outstanding genius potion master, and the rest of the geniuses are stepping stones under his feet!
Just now, Sandru's heavy breathing made Chen Rui worry that this guy would suddenly have a myocardial infarction, or even a suicide bombing like Aldas at that time. Now the progress of the super system has reached 98%, just the last little bit... Brother Sang, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard, and you must hold on!
If Sandru knew that Chen Rui was still cheering for him in his heart, he would be moved to spurt blood, but at this time, the demon servant had completed the proportioning and dissolving of the potion. I have to admit that this demon servant, who was supposed to be proficient in magic, does have extraordinary talent as a pharmacist. When he entered the state, his anxiety and anger gradually calmed down, and only concentration remained.
Master Kemp set his eyes on Chen Rui, and keenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly where the problem was.
Since the second time Sandru's poison failed, Master Kemp began to pay attention to the actions of the human apprentice. Judging from the clumsy movements and unfamiliar techniques, this Chen Rui is definitely a novice. The "poison" he slowly configured seems to be just a few basic formulas, which cannot be used in this level of life and death duel. And the "antidote" configured by this guy is even more messy and unreasonable. Some are even poison. I really don't know what kind of advice Aldass gave, but he can dissolve Sandru's poison!
Just when Master Kemp was puzzled, Sandru finally completed the configuration of the soul-eating poison. The genius pharmacist who was aroused to fight played perfectly this time and successfully configured it in one go.
Sandru held the potion carefully in his hand, feeling the strong confidence of a genius returning to him. He firmly believed that even if a real dragon drank the potion completely, it would not be possible for it to be calm!
But Sandru seemed to have forgotten that there was a kind of dragon that was the "ancestor" of all poisons. Although the Soul Devouring Poison was powerful, it was far from that level - and even the terrifying poison of that dragon could not do anything to a rookie apprentice!
When Chen Rui took the potion and came to Aldass again according to the script, Sandru spoke: "Wait!"
"Before you two die, I have something to say." Sandru looked at Aldass and Chen Rui with a sinister look, "Aldass, I know you are not injured! The reason you let this apprentice take action is entirely because you are jealous of my talent and want to humiliate me in public!"
Sandu's words used magic echoes, resounding throughout the arena, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
"Aldass, first of all, you have to admit that you are a genius who is underestimated. You cracked my first two poisons under the guise of an apprentice. With your talent, you should not have stayed in this poor and ugly town! It's a pity that you are stupid and rejected the invitation of the two masters and the good intentions of the Regent. Therefore, you have no choice but to die today!"
These words are already very arrogant, completely ignoring the existence of Princess Xia. When the audience heard that Sandru despised Dark Moon City so much, they all showed anger.
Joseph narrowed his eyes slightly. Sandru came to Dark Moon City to challenge, and it was indeed instructed by the Obsidian Regent. It was not only to expel and eliminate Aldass, but also to warn the princess. It seems that Princess Xia's movements over the years have gradually attracted the attention of His Royal Highness the Regent. What the Obsidian Regent needs is to keep a livestock that can be slaughtered at will, not a beast that may bite back at any time!
Joseph's eyes secretly moved to Xia's face. The princess did not show any anger or panic. She looked like an eternal ice, still staring at the stage quietly.
"Your death alone is not enough to repay your humiliation to me. I want everyone close to you to suffer unimaginable pain!" Sandro's tone was extremely grim. "Aldaz, you should drink this bottle of soul-eating poison yourself. I will keep your apprentice alive, but I will castrate him and give him to a demon who likes male sex, so that he will live a life worse than death..."
Damn it! Chen Rui's hair stood up. He didn't expect Sandro to be so vicious. Since his soul traveled through time, this was the first time he had such a strong murderous intention towards a person. No matter what, he must kill this bastard!
Sandru's expression became more and more ferocious, and suddenly he grinned: "By the way, don't you have a sister who was separated from you when you were young? I will do everything I can to find her, and then train her into the most despicable sex slave. If you are really tired of playing with her, you can also use her as a test subject for poison. Just thinking about it is a wonderful idea."
Aldass's eyes suddenly became sharp, and blue electric sparks appeared on his body, which was obviously a precursor to the explosion.
Sandu was not afraid at all. The demon servants themselves were a race with a natural talent for magic. Moreover, if Aldass hurt someone, then this life-and-death challenge would definitely be judged as a failure, which was equivalent to sentencing the dark elves to death.
Most of the audience did not understand the rules. When they saw this situation, it seemed that it would turn into a fight, their interest increased greatly, and the shouting became more enthusiastic.
"Master!" Chen Rui saw that the situation was not right, came to Aldass, and whispered: "If you want this bastard to die, listen to me, I have a way!"
As soon as Aldass woke up, he temporarily suppressed his anger: "What can you do?"
Chen Rui leaned close to Aldass's ear and told him the idea he had come up with on the spur of the moment. Aldass's originally angry expression became wonderful, and he looked at Chen Rui with a strange face. The human apprentice nodded firmly at him, pretending to listen to the master's instructions, and then walked a few steps to Sandru and said loudly: "The master just said that you are basically a waste. You have deceived the entire empire for many years by pretending to be a genius. He can poison you to death with just a fart! As for this bottle of medicine... It's almost the same as a tonic, not very toxic."
As he said, he came to the table, poured a few bottles of medicine and mixed them and drank them as an antidote, then raised his head and drank the bottle of soul-eating poison clean.
Everyone in the audience focused their attention on the human apprentice. Chen Rui's body trembled slightly, and his face became strange.
What kind of expression was this? He actually looked excited? Even Sandro himself was shocked. Could it be that the tonic just now was really a tonic?
Chen Rui was excited for a reason other than this. The soul-eating poison just now was really powerful! The progress of the super system finally reached 100%!
