Chapter 75: We Are Restricted from Using External Tools
The next day, Su Mo went to watch the match between the Berserker Team and the Emperor Dou Team.
As expected, the Berserker Team used the method Su Mo had suggested. However, the area they ignited was not large enough to completely neutralize Dugu Yan's snake venom.
Still, it was enough to shock the Emperor Dou Team.
"What was that just now? How did it counter my snake venom?"
Dugu Yan, astonished, questioned the Berserker Team from across the battlefield.
"Burning realgar wine can neutralize snake venom. Isn't that common knowledge?"
"Many people know about it!"
The captain of the Berserker Team scratched his head and answered Dugu Yan.
That was what Su Mo had told him! Of course, the Berserker Team's captain wasn't naive. He trusted Su Mo's advice but didn't actually believe it was common knowledge—at least, he'd never heard of it before.
But since Su Mo had said so, he replied accordingly.
Who knew? Maybe he could even gain some fame from this incident!
It was a pity, though. Even though they had found a way to counter their opponent's venom, they couldn't fully leverage it.
In the end, the Berserker Team still lost to the Emperor Dou Team.
"Speak! How did you know that burning realgar wine could neutralize my venom?"
"If you don't tell me, I'll end your life!"
Before the Berserker Team could officially admit defeat, Dugu Yan used her venom to form a Jade Phosphorus Snake, grabbing the captain and pulling him toward her with a menacing threat.
Hissss~
The snake coiled around his neck, its tongue flicking out as if ready to bite at any moment.
"I… I'll tell you…"
In this situation, the captain dared not hide anything and confessed that it was the Hunter's Spear from Shrek Team who had told him.
"Shrek Team, Hunter's Spear!"
Dugu Yan's emerald eyes glimmered slightly as she made a mental note of Su Mo.
…
"Well, I'm not sure if that counts as a success."
"But no worries. Even if Dugu Yan is curious now, her attention is on me."
Watching the scene unfold from the stands, Su Mo felt reassured.
He had made sure Dugu Yan knew that burning realgar wine could neutralize her venomous fog.
With that settled, Su Mo turned and left.
"Su Mo, did you hear?"
"Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai can now successfully perform their martial soul fusion skill!"
Upon returning to Shrek, Su Mo learned this piece of news from Ning Rongrong.
"Is that so? Well, that's good news—at least for the Shrek Team," Su Mo replied without much surprise.
In the original story, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai had managed to perform their martial soul fusion skill during their battle with the Heaven Dou Royal Team.
"Yes, but I feel like there's something different about Zhu Zhuqing lately!"
"She should be happy that she can perform a martial soul fusion skill with Dai Mubai, but she doesn't seem very pleased."
"I feel like something's been off with her lately."
Ning Rongrong didn't focus on the impact of Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai's fusion skill on the Shrek Team; instead, she spoke about Zhu Zhuqing's current state.
"Zhu Zhuqing, something different about her?"
Su Mo was intrigued by Ning Rongrong's words.
He hadn't paid much attention to Zhu Zhuqing recently. The only time he'd really noticed her was when her striking figure had initially caught his eye during their first meeting.
"I can't really say!"
Ning Rongrong frowned, unable to put her observations into words.
"Then don't worry about it. Whatever it is, it's their business."
Su Mo ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair. She was his main concern.
After that, Su Mo didn't think much of it. His focus shifted to the upcoming match between Shrek Team and the Heaven Dou Royal Team.
He didn't have to wait long for it.
The following evening, Yu Xiaogang gathered all the members of Shrek Team with a serious expression and announced that they would be competing in a Silver-level team match the next day.
"These are the profiles of their team members."
Yu Xiaogang then handed out the Emperor Dou Team's member profiles for everyone to study and understand their opponents in advance.
"First, you need to pay attention to their captain, Yu Tianheng. His martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon…"
While Su Mo and the others were examining the profiles of the Emperor Dou Team members, Yu Xiaogang began to analyze and offer his insights.
Every member required attention.
This was because each member of the Emperor Dou Team had optimal soul ring configurations and top-quality martial souls.
"Pay special attention to this one named Ye Lingling!"
"Her martial soul is the Nine Heart Begonia. All her soul skills have only one effect: group healing…"
Upon realizing Ye Lingling was part of the Emperor Dou Team, Ning Rongrong stepped forward to remind everyone.
It was only through Ning Rongrong's explanation that the group learned their opponent's auxiliary-type soul master had such an impressive background.
"So they have the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon of the Upper Three Sects, the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, a top-tier Xuanwu martial soul, and a Nine Heart Begonia that rivals the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda…"
"And they're all Soul Elders with optimal soul ring configurations!"
"This is way too strong! Can we really beat them?"
After the analysis, Ma Hongjun was the first to groan, feeling overwhelmed by the Emperor Dou Team's formidable strength, which left him with no hope of victory.
"Yeah, the gap between their strength and ours seems too vast," Oscar added pessimistically.
"We haven't even fought yet, so how can we just give up and lose confidence?"
At this crucial moment, Tang San stood up to encourage everyone.
Then, Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked, "Teacher, you said this woman with the Jade Phosphorus Snake martial soul is a control-type soul master. How does she control her opponents?"
"With poison!" Yu Xiaogang, having already gathered the necessary information, replied immediately.
"If that's the case, then we do have a chance to win. I know how we can neutralize her poison!"
Hearing that Yu Xiaogang's answer matched his expectations, Tang San smiled confidently.
"Oh? What method?"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up as he quickly looked at Tang San for an explanation.
"By using realgar wine. Realgar wine can counteract snake venom. If we combine it with Boss Dai's White Tiger Fierce Light Wave and Fatty's Phoenix Fire Line, we can instantly create a large-scale burn to neutralize all of the enemy's venom!"
Tang San immediately laid out his plan, unaware that he hadn't learned about the previous battle between the Berserker Team and the Emperor Dou Team.
"Are you sure this method will work?"
Yu Xiaogang, who was also unaware of the details, questioned. It was likely that the plan hadn't worked perfectly before, which was why the audience hadn't discussed it much.
"I guarantee it!"
Tang San pledged confidently.
"Haha, very well then! We'll use Tang San's method when the time comes!"
Yu Xiaogang laughed heartily, praising Tang San profusely.
"Master, didn't you say we're restricted from using external tools?"
But as Yu Xiaogang's laughter faded, Su Mo spoke up.
