The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

After exchanging pleasantries, both parties stood in silence, as they were not truly acquainted.

Both were waiting for the Sect Leader to start the competition.

"The competition begins!"

As Tian Chu Zhenren's announcement ended, Ye Tianfan once again summoned the Fire Lotus Sword. Although he hadn't used it last time, he figured he might need it this time.

After summoning the Fire Lotus Sword, Ye Tianfan did not rush to attack. Instead, he waited for his opponent to prepare, curious to see how this cultivator, who primarily studied medicine, would attack.

"Since Junior Brother Tianfan isn't attacking, I'll begin. Junior Brother Tianfan, be careful," Lu Waner said, noticing Ye Tianfan hadn't attacked. Her expression was somewhat peculiar.

Did he underestimate women, thinking that as a man, he needed to accommodate innately weaker women? Then let him pay for his arrogance.

If Ye Tianfan knew what Lu Waner was thinking at that moment, he would have felt wronged. He harbored no disdain for her; he was just pondering how this Senior Sister Lu Waner would attack. Would she merely throw a Magical Treasure or unleash a Flying Sword?

Lu Waner threw a small purple ball toward Ye Tianfan, then threw several more in the directions he might dodge.

Ye Tianfan saw these small balls flying toward him at a rather leisurely pace. In his eyes, they seemed slow, so he easily dodged them, including those aimed to predict his movements.

After evading the attack, he had no time to speak before noticing the purple balls explode upon hitting the ground. The explosion had neither power nor impact, but the balls swiftly released a thick purple smoke.

Seeing this, Ye Tianfan's face turned purple, unsure if it was the reflection of the smoke or something else.

Oh my God, is this woman using poison?

Ye Tianfan suddenly recalled Xi Kun's poison, which had once paralyzed him completely. It was an unpleasant experience.

Not sure what effect this poison would have, but he didn't want to find out. In this world, poison truly posed a deadly threat. If he were to adapt, he would need an abundance of antidotes. However, adapting during such a competition was just asking for trouble.

Underestimate women? Do you really think women are naturally weak?

Let me show you through my actions the strength of those ranked second among the participants from Taiyi Peak in this tournament.

Seeing Ye Tianfan darting around to avoid her poison, Lu Waner sneered. While you can dodge the gas for now, once it spreads to every corner of the ring, where will you hide? And now, I'll add a bit more.

Seeing Ye Tianfan jump into the air to escape a whiff of the gas, Lu Waner discreetly retrieved an elegant, small hand crossbow from her sleeve.

As Ye Tianfan evaded in mid-air, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura aiming at him, hearing the unmistakable sound of something cutting through the air. Instantly, he harnessed a substantial amount of Spiritual Qi underfoot, using it as a solid platform, completing a one-and-a-half somersault in the air, and landed safely on the ground.

What just whizzed by?

Ye Tianfan glanced towards Lu Waner.

He saw Lu Waner aiming a small hand crossbow at him, and behind him, he heard three hissing sounds.

No time to look back, as Lu Waner had already fired her hand crossbow again.

In dodging the three crossbow arrows, Ye Tianfan quickly glanced towards where the hissing sounds had come from.

Upon clarity, Ye Tianfan's scalp tingled.

The source of the hissing sounds was three crossbow arrows, slowly emitting a green gas that was unmistakably poisonous.

When this green gas encountered the purple poison gas in the air, they merged into a new, deathly-looking dark yellow gas.

Ye Tianfan noticed this gas hissing against the Array barrier around the ring, visibly thinning the protective measure.

Oh dear, is it that toxic? Seeing this scene, cold sweat dripped from Ye Tianfan's brow. Knowing his own attacks couldn't damage the Array barrier, yet this new poison could corrode it, touching it would be fatal.

Ye Tianfan looked at Lu Waner in horror. I say, Sister, this is just a competition. Is it necessary to endanger lives?

"Surrender. You can see how fierce my poison is. If I let them flood towards you, even the Sect Leader wouldn't save you in time," Lu Waner said lightly to Ye Tianfan.

You look down on women? Let's see if you're brave enough to underestimate women again.

After hearing this, Ye Tianfan shook his head. Although he couldn't stop the poison gas now, it didn't mean he was defeated.

"Surrender? Never. Senior Sister, are you ready? Now it's my turn to ask if you surrender!" Ye Tianfan finished speaking, a faint smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

No choice. It seems I have to summon the Xuanyuan Pagoda. It's not my weakness; the opponent is too cunning.

"You?" Lu Waner was infuriated by Ye Tianfan's words. Despite her gracious offer to concede, he was still pretending to be brave, thinking a mere competition couldn't result in death. At most, she'd rescue him quickly, letting him learn a painful lesson.

"Go!" Having resolved, Lu Waner manipulated the poison gas towards Ye Tianfan, while also preparing for a swift rescue.

Though not fond of Ye Tianfan, she wouldn't actually harm him. After all, they were from the same sect. Even if they weren't, Lu Waner wouldn't casually kill someone over mere words or actions, unless they were from the Demon Sect, which was an exception as they were reviled by all.

Just as Lu Waner saw the gas envelop Ye Tianfan and was about to administer an antidote, a myriad of mysterious yellow lights burst from within the cloud.

The lights illuminated the entire arena, even causing other competitors to pause and look towards Ye Tianfan's ring.

"Little Seven has already used that? To use it in the second round indicates a formidable opponent." From the sidelines, Tian Chu Zhenren of Taiyi Peak murmured softly.
