Chapter 823: The Last Battle
Chapter 823: The Last Battle
Not just Saman, even the audience was stunned. They didn’t see how ‘Arthur’ did it. Before they knew it, so many bottles of potions appeared on the table, and they were all black potions!
If these potions were to be placed in magic shops or trade fairs, they would definitely sell like hot cakes.
He made them beforehand, then took it out from the space ring? Yes, it must be like this!
Saman sneered: It’s true that there is a rule loophole in the imprint space, but it doesn’t mean that you can cheat like this. Since the time limit of this game is 2 hours, if the finished product was prepared 2 hours ago, it will be regarded as a failure.
The 2-hour time came to an end, and the space made the judgment.
Saman Completion Quantity: 10 bottles.
Arthur’s Completion Quantity: 52 bottles.
Arthur won the second match.
Saman was completely shocked. He almost wanted to dig out his only eyeball, polish it, and put it back on to see clearly: No matter what the process is, the judgment of the space will not be wrong. 52 bottles of black potions are actually made within 2 hours! And the quality is all over 90!
Cheating! Must be cheating!
However, Saman couldn’t imagine how these 52 bottles were made in 2 hours. Even if I cheated and prepared the main ingredient in advance, the maximum is a dozen bottles. How could Arthur craft so many?
Iactually unbelievably lost a sure-win battle in the aspect I was best at!
“One last step before you lose.” Chen Rui’s voice sounded, “Let’s start the third match. I will use your despicable life to pay homage to Grand Master Rosenburg who was killed by you and predecessors who were deceived.”
Looking at the dice floating in the air, Saman’s facial expression was a bit distorted, but the rules of space would not take this into account, and soon the dice started to roll. The content of the third round of potion match, perhaps also the last match, was out.
They would take the potions made by each other within the specified time. The first to admit defeat or the dead one would lose half the vitality. If there was no loser, it would continue until there was an outcome.
This competition method was actually the more common deathmatch between potioneers. Back then, Aldas poisoned the challenger, Sandro, in the deathmatch.
Saman’s expression was extremely solemn because he had been forced to the edge of the cliff. If I am poisoned, I will die directly: if I admit defeat, I will lose the entire imprint inheritance duel, resulting in death as well.
In contrast, ‘Arthur’ had a much wider choice. If he was not sure, he could simply concede defeat, and the 2 sides would have a final third match.
The death battle began. Both sides started crafting the potion first, then they would draw lots to decide who would drink the potion first.
Although the time for crafting the potion was limited, Chen Rui was not in a hurry to make it. Instead, he just set his eyes on Saman’s busy figure. After staring for a moment, he also started to work.
At this time, the 2 moons had already been dyed with a layer of light purple as the sky gradually became darker, and the arena turned on the lighting facilities. This grand master contest went on for more than 6 hours. None of the spectators who should have left the venue left. Shea temporarily ordered a large amount of food to be delivered to the audience for free, but the people were still staring at the unparalleled duel in the field.
The time limit for crafting was 30 minutes, and the time for testing was 10 minutes. At the end of the time, they started draw lots to decide who would try the medicine first.
Saman was unfortunate enough to be the first to try the potion. The bottle of dark green potion prepared by Chen Rui automatically flew in front of him. In an instant, all eyes focused on it.
Saman frowned when he looked at the bottle of potion, opened the cork and smelled it. Then, he prepared a bottle of antidote and drank it before he bottomed up the poison.
The moment Saman drank the potion, his body seemed to be in a virtual state like he could turn into a puff of smoke at any time. He gradually converged into a human shape in the end and was unharmed.
Chen Rui had been keeping an eye on Saman’s situation. The Evil Pupil was showing a faint brilliance. After Saman returned to his demon form, he seemed fine, but many of his hair and beard had turned into light smoke and disappeared. This bottle of potion’s poison was evident.
Saman showed a relieved expression on his face, and the bottle of dark gray potion that he made flew in front of Chen Rui.
The time to test the potion was 10 minutes where they could quickly make the antidote, but Chen Rui did not rush to do it, nor did he look at the bottle of poison. He just looked at Saman quietly, “I’m really surprised…”
Saman sneered coldly, “You are surprised that I wasn’t poisoned by your poison? It is undeniable that the poison in the potion just now was really vicious, and the main material seems to be extracted from some kind of highly poisonous dragon. Unfortunately, it is not enough to poison me.”
Saman’s judgment was right. The main ingredient of Chen Rui’s potion was Paglio’s venom. This venom used to easily turn the master-level potion genius Sandro into ashes, but it actually had no effect on Saman. Even the poison dragon in the VIP seat was a little surprised.
“I’m not surprised about this… It’s the secret of your physique.” Chen Rui’s eyes seemed to see through Saman’s mind, making him shudder. “I finally understand it. It turns out that more than 90% of your body is already transformed into an undead state. This should be caused by the contract flaw between you and that undead partner. Your body is almost completely rotten now, and you can abandon it at any time. As long as the soul is not damaged, no matter how violent the poison is useless. This kind of deathmatch is already unloseable to the undead body. “
Saman’s heart sank immediately. He never imagined that this opponent could actually easily see through his biggest secret.
“You must have been overjoyed when you got this content, so you were acting in the beginning. The antidote was fake; the tension and solemnity were fake too. The purpose was to entice me to compete with you instead of giving up and admitting defeat. Your bottle of poison must be a powerful poison that has gathered countless years of hard work. If I drink it, it is very likely that I will die immediately before I can admit defeat, so then you can win directly and achieve a miraculous comeback.”
Chen Rui paused and shook his head contemptuously, “Unfortunately, your acting is too overdone and flashy…”
“It’s really flashy. Deliberate performance looks gorgeous, but it has no real connotation. He didn’t act it with authenticity.” A certain little loli in the VIP seat shook her head like a film critic. Her friend, the naga girl, on the side showed admiration.
Saman’s facial expression was cold and stern, “Cowardly guy, you are just making an excuse to admit defeat. You don’t even have the guts to test potion. You don’t deserve to be called a grand master!”
“This kind of naive provocation method is more indicative of your inner urgency, but…” With that said, Chen Rui actually grabbed the potion bottle and opened the stopper, “I don’t want to drag till the third match with you.”
Under Saman’s amazed eyes, Chen Rui lifted his mask, revealing the appearance of the ‘genius mechanic master Arthur’, then he drank the bottle of poison.
This time everyone was in an uproar: He clearly knew the other party’s tricks, but he still drank the poison! By the way, ‘Arthur’ didn’t seem to even make an antidote just now!
The naga girl exclaimed and couldn’t help standing up, but she was grabbed by her friend, the little mermaid princess.
“Adeline, don’t be nervous.” The little mermaid princess pursed her lips, “Didn’t you see that these guys are just chilled out?”
“That’s right.” Master Poison Dragon said as he took a sip of wine indignantly, “Even if he dies in a woman’s belly, it’s absolutely impossible for him to die from poison.”
Long before this ‘cunning human’ had any strength, Master Poison Dragon had already experienced the hateful attribute of ‘poison immunity’ which was an attribute that was quite depressing for the poison dragon.
Chen Rui drank the poison in one breath, then he threw the bottle and smiled, “It doesn’t seem to taste very good. Next time, I suggest you improve the taste. Even if there is no aromatic millet wine taste, it needs to be closer to juice at least.”
Saman stared at Chen Rui’s face as he tried to find a sign of pain or poisoning from it, but to his disappointment, the other party’s face was normal without the slightest discomfort.
Saman’s expression changed from shock to disbelief: What I made is the strongest poison that can kill the giant dragon, but it actually has no effect on this terrifying enemy like boiled water!
“Okay, since it was a tie just now, let’s continue this deathmatch.” Chen Rui didn’t put on his mask and clapped his hands, “This is the last bet in your life.”
Both sides continued to draw lots. This time, Chen Rui tried the potion first, repeating the scene just now. He didn’t even need an antidote. Hehe just drank another poison produced by Saman like it was plain water.
Then, it was Saman’s turn to try the potion. This time, a bottle of black potion.
Saman opened the cork and took a sniff. Suddenly, he shuddered, and the hand holding the potion bottle trembled slightly.
His first reaction was disbelief, then he smelled it again and trembled more violently. Even his face seemed to fade.
“Impossible…” Saman muttered to himself as his hoarse voice suddenly showed a strange sharpness, “You can’t possibly make it!”
“Nothing is impossible.” Chen Rui shook his head gently, “As I said, this is the last battle of your life.”
As if Saman hadn’t heard Chen Rui’s words, he almost fell into madness, still shouting hysterically, “It must be my illusion! This can’t be a resurrection potion!”
The audience, who had been numb from too much shock, was extremely shocked after hearing the last 2 words. Many people couldn’t help but stand up; even Raizen and Frentz showing a shocking expression.
Resurrection potion!
The strongest grand master potion!
Arthur, mechanical grand master and potion…great grand master?
“Whether it’s a resurrection potion, you’ll know once you drink it.
“Chen Rui’s expression remained calm.”
“Drink it!” Almost all the audience members shouted in unison.
If it was really the legendary resurrection potion that could bring back the dead, it was a ‘poison’ that was more deadly than any poison for undead creatures.
