"Interesting! Have fun slowly, once he enters this place, there’s no chance of leaving alive. You can handle him however you wish."

The woman in the black robe nodded and then fell silent.

"Never thought you’d have a day like this too, let’s spice things up for you."

The young man licked his lips, stretched out his hand to press a red button marked with the number 5, then picked up the communication device: "Ye Liuxing, please respond if you hear this."

"What’s the matter?"

A deep voice sounded.

"Tang Ming, the one who killed your junior apprentice, is among the participants in this medical competition..." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"That bastard has come too?"

Ye Liuxing’s voice suddenly turned cold: "Where is he now? I will swallow him alive, imprison him forever, leaving him unable to seek survival or death."

"Hehe, he’s still within my control for now, I’m just giving you an early notice, if he doesn’t have the capability to reach you, then I’ll only be able to show you a video of him being played to death."

The young man responded with a series of eerie laughs.

"No, I need to kill him myself."

Ye Liuxing shouted anxiously.

"Ridiculous!"

The woman in the black robe snorted coldly, "Don’t forget your duties, if you dare to leave your station, you should know what consequences await."

"This... I’m sorry, Mistress, I understand."

Upon hearing the voice of the woman in the black robe, Ye Liuxing instantly wilted.

"Stay put, if Tang Ming truly has the ability, you two will meet sooner or later."

The woman in the black robe advised and fell silent once more.

"Nangong Tianyue, you must leave Tang Ming with a breath, don’t let him die too easily."

Ye Liuxing demanded through gritted teeth.

"It depends on his capability."

Nangong Tianyue smiled faintly, then ended the call.

The young man before them was the long-vanished Nangong Tianyue.

Back then, when Tang Ming destroyed Medicine Sect, Nangong Tianyue was rescued by the four ghosts of Cloud Stream, leading to some time spent in hiding to recuperate, eventually becoming one of the supervisors here.

During this period, Nangong Tianyue hadn’t abandoned the thought of revenge on Tang Ming, although he was too busy, but now with Tang Ming delivering himself, he was overjoyed.

With Medicine Sect annihilated, the Nangong family’s people were eliminated, including Nangong Tianyue’s relatives and friends. Now, his hatred for Tang Ming ran deep, wanting nothing more than to kill him instantly upon sight.

However, considering the numerous experts in the base, even with Tang Ming’s capabilities, his death seemed inevitable, so Nangong Tianyue was in no hurry to kill him, planning instead to toy with him slowly like a cat and mouse.

Tang Ming was unaware he had fallen into a den of tigers, and they all hated him deeply; at this moment, he was earnestly studying the virus infecting the monsters in the glass room.

After some research, Tang Ming broke into a cold sweat, looked uneasily at the constantly moving monster: "Shit, the virus on this monster is terrifying. If my cultivation weren’t strong and the Dust Gu hadn’t mutated, my own Dust Gu wouldn’t be able to counteract this virus."

"So fierce, so fierce."

Tang Ming swallowed hard and quickly ran out of the glass room. After a bout of cultivation, he donned a protective suit and gas mask before re-entering.

Though he confirmed his body could resist the virus, with someone monitoring everything here, not taking precautions against such a potent virus could arouse suspicion.

The main issue was Tang Ming truly felt a bit afraid; he was too careless, and though his body could withstand this virus for now, what if the virus grew stronger? He’d be doomed.

Returning to the glass room, scenes of being schemed against by Nangong Tianyue the last time flashed through Tang Ming’s mind, when he nearly got poisoned due to his own negligence.

"The brave die from daring, the skilled drown from complacency. Previously relying on my immunity, I suffered once, and now I’m repeating old mistakes, I must learn this lesson."

Tang Ming self-reflected briefly, then his eyes gleamed as he examined the monster.

Extreme poison!

For him, this was a great opportunity. His cultivation had stalled at the peak of martial master; though his two cultivation routes within his body could operate simultaneously, lacking the ability to break through to Martial General.

In this state, despite possessing more than double the energy and combat power of ordinary people, breaking through similarly required multiple times the energy than others to overcome the barrier.

It was an enormous amount of energy, and speaking of Tang Ming’s own cultivation, it could take ten or twenty years to meet the breakthrough standard.

Many spent their whole lives unable to advance further; breaking through to Martial General was incredibly difficult. Now Tang Ming saw an opportunity.

"A massive amount of Poison; if I absorbed it all, I’d be rich."

Tang Ming swallowed hard, stared at the back-and-forth moving monster as if a wolf seeing a scantily clad woman.

Just as Tang Ming drooled, he suddenly felt a wriggling at his collarbone.

"Don’t move, don’t move!"

Tang Ming was startled, hurriedly pressing down his shoulder, knowing that facing such potent poison, Little Red was surely excited like him. If Little Red intervened, there’d be nothing for him.

"Big bro, big sis, ancestor... I’m urgently in need of energy for a breakthrough, let me have it this time, don’t fight me for it."

Tang Ming raised his hand, threw a few coins, knocking down all the surveillance cameras in the room, then released Little Red and started negotiating.

"Chit-chit-chit-chit."

Little Red bared two tiny sharp teeth, drooling, glaring at the monster in protest.

"No way, this one’s not even enough for my breakthrough, not another half for you."

Tang Ming shook his head decisively, firmly looking at Little Red: "It’s all mine! Or hand over your eggshell to share, I can’t remain at Peak Nine-star forever, can I?"

Upon hearing about her eggshell, Little Red’s head drooped, pitifully staring with little eyes.

"Don’t be like that; if I break through to Martial General, the leftover venom is all yours, prioritize me, that’s the deal."

Tang Ming hardened his heart, ignored Little Red’s pitiful act, and strode towards the monster.

"Darling, though you’re ugly, I promise I’ll be very gentle."

Tang Ming walked to the monster, greedily sizing it up: "Actually, you’re quite gentle, without any offense, now the issue is transferring your poison onto me."

Trailing behind the monster pacing back and forth, Tang Ming couldn’t instantly come up with a way to start; diagnosis wasn’t possible for such a beast!
