Only then did everyone notice that this middle-aged man's legs were like two strands of noodles, drooping softly on the ground.
"The people from the Dragon Subduing Academy are really ruthless. Putting aside the fact that they shattered the bones in my legs, they even shattered my tendons."
The middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of saliva.
"You actually dared to steal their ultimate divine art. You should be prepared to be beaten to death if you're caught."
Pang Tong snorted coldly. "If I had to say, it's already very merciful of them not to beat you half to death and hang you up to dry."
"Ha, my skills are inferior. I admit defeat."
The middle-aged man's eyes turned and he glanced at these people. "But you guys, do you want to know the secret of the Great Desolate Dragon Subduing Scripture?"
Everyone's ears twitched. Their interest was piqued.
"What secret?"
Wu You asked.
"I can't possibly say it for free, right?"
The middle-aged man looked at Ji Han. "After being locked up for so long, my mouth has become dull. Prepare a banquet for me first!"
Sun Mo turned and left.
"Eh?"
Ji Han had wanted to berate the middle-aged man for going overboard, but when he saw Sun Mo leaving, he was stunned. "Teacher Sun, are you not interested?"
The others looked over as well.
"Not interested!"
Sun Mo mentally mused. (This daddy has learned it long ago. No one understands the Great Desolate Dragon Subduing Scripture better than me.)
"Teacher Ji, prepare a banquet for him?"
"You actually believe his nonsense? If he knew the profoundness of this divine art, would he still be here? "
"That's right, he would have been silenced long ago!"
The great teachers were only stunned by the fame of the Great Desolate Dragon Subduing Scripture. After thinking about it, it was impossible for the middle-aged man to know it.
Otherwise, Ji Han would have gotten the information from him long ago.
"Sigh, don't go. Listen to me, I really know it. There are no records of this divine art. Only those who have obtained the recognition of the divine dragon can learn it!"
The middle-aged man shouted.
"There are still dragons in this era? Have your brains spoiled after being locked up for too long? "
Pang Tong mocked.
Everyone caught up to Sun Mo.
"Teacher Ji, if you guys have books that you don't need, I can pay a high price to buy them!"
Lv Guodong whispered.
The middle-aged man's leg was broken, but his complexion was much better than the prisoners on the first floor. This meant that he was exchanging the knowledge he had stolen for preferential treatment.
"Come find me tonight!"
Ji Han said it in an open and aboveboard manner. After all, this was the publicly acknowledged source of income for the Hopeless Prison. Even if the Holy Gate's Patriarch came, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
If they didn't even have this little benefit, who would be willing to come to such a lousy place to guard?
"Teacher Sun, I have many good things here. We can exchange them!"
Ji Han expressed his goodwill. He knew that a genius like Sun Mo would definitely have many trump cards.
Hearing this, everyone was envious. As expected, geniuses would be looked up to.
"I appreciate Great Teacher Ji's kind intentions!"
Sun Mo smiled.
"Teacher Sun, listen to my advice. Don't be too virtuous and virtuous. There's no harm in learning one more ability."
Lv Guodong persuaded him kindly.
"I really don't need it!"
Sun Mo mentally mused that he had Immemorial Vairocana in his hands. Whatever he wanted, he would be able to strike it out from his opponent.
(Oh, right, I also have the Wedding Gown Divine Art now. I can suck the energy out of my opponent and turn them into idiots.)
Sun Mo had gotten the prisoner's information book from the prison warden before. Hence, he only needed to compare it a little and he knew the name and origin of the prisoner.
This prisoner with a broken leg was called Yu Lin. He had a habit of stealing and was a famous thief in the Nine Provinces. Relying on his identity as a great teacher to conceal himself, he had stolen many things before. In fact, he didn't even let off some secret treasures of the royal family.
Very soon, everyone arrived at the entrance leading to the fourth level.
This was a long and narrow tunnel that was permeated with a faint white fog. There were also a large number of stiff corpses of small bugs on the ground. It was clear that this was a place where strangers were forbidden to enter.
"Poison fog?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"Yes!"
Ji Han teased, "Don't tell me that you even know about poison?"
"As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, your shoes will definitely get wet. Even if your poison techniques have reached perfection, you shouldn't play like this."
Sun Mo reminded.
"Teacher Sun, don't be rash. It's fine even if you can't clear this stage. We are examinees and can go and collect a poison avoidance pill."
Someone expressed goodwill.
"That's right. Teacher Sun, don't be reckless. Although this fog..."
Pang Tong continued, he was berated by Ji Han.
"Shut up!"
Ji Han glared at Pang Tong. "Is there a need for you to talk so much?"
"Great Teacher Ji, there's no need to be angry. Isn't it just the effect of the fog? Even if Teacher Pang doesn't say it, I know it!"
Sun Mo's lips twitched. "The poison fog's effect isn't just inhaling it. There's also contact. The fog can seep into one's body through the skin. It won't cause death, but those who are poisoned would feel their limbs go numb. They would vomit and have diarrhea. They would also fart, releasing all the spirit qi in their body."
"Ah?"
Ji Han's expression was like he had seen a ghost girl who wanted to scare people but ended up being pressed on the ground by a ferocious man.
(Damn, you even know this?)
(Are you still human?)
"There are so many bug corpses on the ground. The way they died is the answer."
Sun Mo used his leg to crush a bug. "Also, the purpose of setting up this stage is definitely not to kill people but to capture people. Therefore, the general range of the poison you use can be determined."
"Hmph, you win!"
Ji Han stretched his hand into his robes, preparing to take out a poison avoidance pill for Sun Mo.
He didn't get Sun Mo to say how to detoxify the poison because that would be acting like a hooligan. Even a top-notch poison master wouldn't dare to say that he could detoxify the poison concocted by others.
"Thank you for letting me win!"
Sun Mo said humbly and walked into the poison fog.
"What?"
Everyone was shocked. What was he doing? Was he crazy?
Although they had obtained poison avoidance pills, Ji Han had made things difficult for them. In order to display his might, he forced them to go through the first stage. Therefore, everyone had been poisoned.
They vomited and had diarrhea. Their pants were covered in feces and urine. In addition, they released a series of farts to release spirit qi. That scene was simply a nightmare.
That night, a few seven-foot-tall examinees secretly shed tears, wanting to go home.
"He should have a poison avoidance treasure on him, right?"
The old farmer guessed.
He was a herbology grandmaster, but even he had to spend five days and poison tens of small animals to death before he could analyze the composition of the poison fog.
"Have you guys forgotten how Lian Hongying suffered? She is a poison grandmaster, yet she couldn't do anything to Sun Mo! "
Lv Guodong sighed ruefully.
"Let's go. Teacher Sun might be able to clear five stages in a row today."
Wu You wanted to see how far Sun Mo could go.
Sun Mo passed through the tunnel and patted off the dust on his warrior attire.
A few years ago, he had killed the green-robed old ancestor in the Greenmist Forest and obtained his inheritance, the white jade cicada.
This was a secret species ranked # 9 on the darkness species list. As long as one ate it, they would be immune to all poisons. This bug was the species that poison masters and gu masters desired the most and hated the most.
Other than this, Sun Mo had also devoured the divine remains in the Dragonspirit Manor. That thing strengthened Sun Mo's physique and also gave him a great resistance to poison.
In any case, Sun Mo's body was as strong as an ancient giant's.
There were quite a number of prisoners on this level. Upon hearing the footsteps of Sun Mo's group, someone called out and greeted them.
"How's the situation outside?"
"Send me a woman. These days are too boring!"
"Has the Saint Gate not been disbanded yet?"
The prisoners made a ruckus. Ji Han's expression sank and he waved his hand. The prison guards in charge of guarding this level immediately moved out and whipped the prisoners.
"You guys have to be careful. The prisoners here are the most rebellious and don't want to give up on life. Therefore, I suggest that you guys don't target the people on this level."
Ji Han reminded them.
The entrance from the fourth to the fifth level was a huge stone passageway. Every five meters, there would be a mechanical battle puppet on both sides.
Sun Mo counted. There were a total of 20 of them.
"They are loyal and fearless. They don't fear poison, gu worms, spiritual control, and other offensive methods. If a person wishes to pass through here, they can only rely on their martial strength!"
Ji Han introduced.
"These must be the masterpieces of an ancestor-level master, right?"
Sun Mo sighed in admiration.
These mechanical battle puppets were each five meters tall. They were the masterpieces of the combination of puppetry and alchemy techniques.
Their bodies were made of metal and weighed up to 500 tons. Even if they didn't know any cultivation arts, they could still hammer their enemies to death with brute force.
The most terrifying thing was that they wouldn't get tired. They could continue fighting until the energy in their bodies was depleted. Moreover, their structure allowed them to continue fighting even if their limbs were broken.
"The tactical significance of these battle puppets is to exhaust the enemy until the guards arrive."
Ji Han snapped his fingers. The eyes of these battle puppets lit up and were activated within three seconds. After that, one of them walked out.
If it wasn't for the fact that these things were too expensive and difficult to create, he really wanted to set up 100 of them on each level.
"Teacher Sun, please!"
Ji Han didn't plan to make things difficult for Sun Mo. He just wanted to see what cultivation arts Sun Mo knew and how his combat strength was.
"Isn't this level a little too simple?"
It had been a very long time since Sun Mo fought with others.
Ji Han smiled, indicating that Sun Mo could start.
Sun Mo shrugged and suddenly dashed out like a cheetah hunting its prey.
Swoosh!
Sun Mo's speed was so fast that afterimages could be seen.
BOOM!
The mechanical battle puppet's fist smashed down rapidly, but it was still too slow.
"With such a tall body, there must be a disadvantage in terms of agility!"
Sun Mo commented.
The battle puppet's punch missed. It immediately lifted its hand and pointed at Sun Mo. After that, with a boom, its entire right arm shot out.
It was really too fast. It actually tore through the air.
Sun Mo's figure was also penetrated.
BOOM!
The iron fist smashed into the wall and a loud sound rang out. At the next second, another thunderous sound wave rang out. This was the sound produced after the iron fist broke through the sound barrier.
"Sun Mo died?"
Everyone was nervous.
"It's an afterimage!"
Lv Guodong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Sun Mo appearing at the other end of the tunnel.
"Didn't we agree to spar? Isn't this too ruthless? "
Sun Mo clicked his tongue. If he was a little slower, he would have been smashed into a meat patty.
"Teacher Sun, we agreed to challenge the mechanical battle puppet. Why did you run over in one go?"
Ji Han was depressed. "What a cheap trick."
"That's right, let's fight again!"
Someone jeered.
All of them wanted to observe Sun Mo's battle. In fact, they had even prepared image-recording stones.
