Chapter 86: Talent Stripping!! You Do Not Yet Have the Strength to Kill Me!!
Li Xie looked at Xiao Xuan, and there was a trace of burning intensity in his gaze.
“Cooperate? How do you propose we cooperate?”
Xiao Xuan asked.
“My poison still needs a vast amount of top-tier toxins to grow even stronger. As long as I can develop it to the point where it can even kill a Martial God, then in this world, you and I can kill whoever we want!”
“Of course, I have no interest in doing something as stupid as ruling the world!”
“I just want people to know that even if I only have this one poison-type talent, I am still the strongest prodigy beneath the heavens.”
“I want that stupid woman Li Luya to understand just how foolish she was to choose Long Ya!”
Li Xie said coldly.
Yet within his eyes, endless hatred surfaced.
“Long Ya? You mean Long Jue’s son?”
“What, did he steal your woman?”
When Xiao Xuan heard that, he froze for a moment, his gossip-loving heart instantly bursting to life.
As for the so-called poison, he possessed a gold healing-type talent. Even if the other party detonated the toxins, he could still hold out for a month or two. Even if he did not kill Li Xie right now, all he had to do was casually find a poison-immunity trait and he would be completely immune to it.
“You actually know Long Ya’s identity?”
“Then again, it makes sense. Long Ya has been so high-profile these past two years that people have probably already guessed who he is.”
Li Xie’s expression changed when he heard Xiao Xuan’s words.
But he soon relaxed.
As the strongest expert in Huaxia, and even among the entire human race, Long Jue protected his family extremely well. He almost never allowed them to appear in the public eye.
Long Ya was around forty or fifty years older than Xiao Xuan and the others. He had been the number one expert on the Heaven Ranking at Imperial Capital University from more than forty-three cohorts ago.
Now, he had already reached the Martial Thearch Realm.
Moreover, he had inherited Long Jue’s Dragon Transformation talent.
In recent years, he had been extremely active among the human race.
However, in Xiao Xuan’s memories of the future, Long Ya had not survived this year.
In other words, within a few months, Long Ya was doomed to die.
As for how he died, it had always remained a mystery. There were rumors that he had been poisoned during a great battle in a ninth-rank Subterranean Cavern. The toxin had supposedly been so terrifying that even the strongest poison alchemist of the human race had been unable to cure it.
Of course, whether Long Ya lived or died did not really matter to Xiao Xuan.
But now Xiao Xuan had reason to suspect that Li Xie was the one responsible.
“So I heard Long Ya was poisoned. Turns out you were the one who did it.”
Xiao Xuan looked at Li Xie and spoke in sudden realization.
“Don’t joke around. I never did anything like that!”
The moment Li Xie heard that, he flatly denied it. Yet the pride on his face had already betrayed him.
“Relax. Long Jue and I do not have any great enmity between us, but we are not on good terms either.”
“You do not need to hide it in front of me. I am not going to record anything.”
Xiao Xuan exposed him directly.
“I said I didn’t do it, so I didn’t do it. Stop trying to trick me!”
Naturally, Li Xie did not believe Xiao Xuan.
He even began to wonder whether Long Jue had truly discovered something and had sent Xiao Xuan here to test him. If he let something slip, what awaited him might very well be death.
“It does not matter whether you admit it or not. I did not come here to cooperate with you.”
“However, I have taken a liking to your talent for concocting poison. If you are willing to submit to me, I can spare your life!”
“In fact, I can even grant you powerful talents. Forget a mere Long Ya. In the future, even his father, Long Jue, could be at your mercy.”
Xiao Xuan stopped wasting words and spoke directly to Li Xie.
Judging from everything Li Xie had done, although he would cause horrifying slaughter in the future, that was because of his constitution. In Xiao Xuan’s memories, Li Xie himself had remained hidden the entire time, and over the span of more than a thousand years, he had treated countless human experts.
Once Xiao Xuan took control of the human race, Li Xie would be a rare and valuable talent.
“Hahaha, submit to you? You are already poisoned by me. Aside from me, no one can cure my Thearchfall Poison, not even the strongest poison alchemist of the human race. What exactly do you have that could make me submit to you?”
“Shouldn’t the one submitting be you?”
When Li Xie heard Xiao Xuan’s words, he immediately burst into mocking laughter.
“No one but you can cure it, is that right?”
When Xiao Xuan heard that, he merely gave a mysterious smile.
The next moment, his right hand shot out and grabbed Li Xie by the head.
“What are you trying to do?”
Li Xie’s expression changed drastically, and he instantly activated his talented constitution.
In an instant, the poison in Xiao Xuan’s palm began spreading wildly.
Yet Xiao Xuan merely curled his lips upward slightly.
He chose to recycle it at once!
[Congratulations, you have recycled the trait 【Poisoned! Silver】 and obtained 20 million Eco Points.]
A notification sounded immediately.
At the same time, the poisoned status on Xiao Xuan’s body vanished in an instant.
In truth, there had been no need for him to come to Li Xie at all.
After all, he could rely on the effect of his traits to become completely immune to poison. Let alone this mere Thearchfall Poison, even Godfall Poison would not be able to harm him in the slightest.
On the contrary, it would only earn him even more Eco Points.
However, such a heaven-defying ability could not be exposed so casually. His power to copy and plunder other people’s trait talents was already outrageous enough.
Naturally, he could not reveal even more.
When Xiao Xuan thought of that, another thought suddenly occurred to him. If even stronger poisons were developed in the future, would that mean he could farm Eco Points without limit?
“Strip!!!”
With a single thought from Xiao Xuan, the gold trait within Li Xie’s body, 【Extinction Poison Body】, was forcibly torn out by him.
Buzz!!!
In an instant, all the poison stored inside Li Xie’s body erupted at once.
At a terrifying speed, it spread through his entire body in a split second.
Yet just as he was about to be poisoned to death by his own toxins, a horrifying suction force suddenly erupted from Xiao Xuan’s hand.
All the poison in Li Xie’s body was madly drawn away.
In only a few moments, every last trace of poison within Li Xie’s body had been completely removed.
Even so, that momentary eruption of poison still left Li Xie deathly pale.
“You... what did you do to me? Why is all my poison gone!?”
“Wait, my constitution, my talent!”
Li Xie looked at Xiao Xuan, his face filled with fury, disbelief, and terror.
“With that constitution in your hands, you were never qualified to control it. Rather than let you lose control one day, it was better to strip it away early.”
“I will say the same thing again. Right now, you have already become a piece of trash with only a mid-purple talent.”
“I will give you two choices. One: become my subordinate. As long as you perform well in the future, I will give you talents that surpass Long Ya’s, and even Long Jue’s!”
“And what you must do is continue researching your Thearchfall Poison.”
“I want it to evolve into Saintfall Poison, Godfall Poison, and even something capable of killing a Supreme!”
“Can you do that?”
Xiao Xuan looked at Li Xie and spoke in a calm tone.
The moment those words were spoken, Li Xie fell silent as he looked at Xiao Xuan.
His heart was already in utter turmoil.
Just what kind of person was the man before him?
Stripping away talents—he had never heard of such a thing before.
