He quickly looked towards the direction of the China team, but what he saw before him plunged him into immense shock!
He discovered that Wu Tian was still standing there, appearing completely unharmed!
"What's going on!"
He exclaimed in terror, "How can you still be standing? It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
He remembered Wu Tian had drunk the sake, and he was the first person Wu Tian had toasted.
By all rights, Wu Tian should have succumbed to the poison by now!
But why was this fellow completely fine?
Facing Ling Tengyun's shock, Wu Tian simply said coldly, "Are you surprised? When I drank your wine yesterday, didn't I already ask you if there was poison in it?"
"Back then, I had already told you that all your tricks were seen through by me, so you don't need to be so surprised now, do you?"
Ling Tengyun couldn't believe such a thing.
He shook his head and said, "No, even so, you drank the wine! How could you be completely fine?"
Wu Tian sneered, "So what if I drank the wine? A mere bell poison, do you think it can have any effect on me?"
"In fact, from the moment you returned yesterday, I never believed you."
"Someone like you, talking about turning over a new leaf, do you think I would believe you?"
"As for why I kept it from you, it was just to see what kind of tricks you were up to."
"It's just that I didn't expect you to be so malicious."
"It seems your wickedness truly exceeds my imagination."
Hearing Wu Tian's words, Ling Tengyun felt his mind go completely blank.
He had always thought he had acted flawlessly, but he never imagined that Wu Tian had seen through it all!
Such a thing was simply unacceptable to him!
However, he soon laughed again and said, "Even if you weren't affected by the bell poison, so what? Do you think you've won just because of that?"
"I'm telling you, don't forget one thing, your people have all collapsed now, and no one can help you anymore!"
"Tell me, in this situation, how do you plan to compete?"
Wu Tian chuckled coldly, "Your brain really doesn't know how to think, does it? Haven't you ever considered that since I already knew the sake was problematic, why didn't I expose you on the spot?"
Ling Tengyun was stunned, and then he realized it.
That's right, since Wu Tian knew from the beginning that the sake was problematic, why didn't Wu Tian say anything?
If Wu Tian had spoken up, then the other members of the China team wouldn't have been affected at all!
Wu Tian continued, "The reason is simple, because I know what you want. You just want to step on me."
"I'm not one for anything else, but I believe in an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
"Since you've joined Xin Jian Bo now, then come at me together."
"Once I deal with all five of you, I imagine your sense of defeat will be even greater than any previous time."
Hearing Wu Tian say this, Ling Tengyun felt like he was about to explode!
He understood Wu Tian's intention; Wu Tian wanted to completely shatter his pride and then crush him!
A heavy sense of humiliation filled his heart, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "What did you say? You want to defeat all five of us by yourself? I think you're truly delusional!"
"I'm telling you, you can never defeat me!"
"In the end, your so-called plan will only be self-inflicted humiliation!"
"Is that so?" Wu Tian said lightly, "If that's the case, then we don't need to waste any more words. Let's just start the competition."
"Are you ready to compete first, or last?"
Ling Tengyun was silent for a moment, his expression gradually twisted, and finally turned into a sinister smile again.
He said, "Fortunately, I still had a backup plan. Otherwise, with these mediocre members of Xin Jian Bo, they probably wouldn't have been able to stop you."
"Although this move was originally intended for Yezhen Baihezi, it seems I'll have to use it on you for now as an experiment."
Wu Tian said, "It looks like these past few days, you haven't just joined Xin Jian Bo, but you've also done something significant with them."
Ling Tengyun said, "Of course. After all, my goal is the championship."
"As for you, you're just a piece of trash I'm dealing with along the way."
"You want to face all five of us by yourself, right? Fine, I'll give you that chance."
"But I must remind you, this so-called facing five people means you really have to face all five of us!"
Ling Tengyun's tongue-twisting words left the China team members confused.
What did this mean?
Wasn't Ling Tengyun just spouting nonsense?
But Wu Tian understood his words and said coldly, "You mean you plan to use the combined needle technique, right?"
Ling Tengyun nodded, "That's right. Since I joined Xin Jian Bo, I've been researching the combined needle technique."
"And now I have integrated the needle techniques of the other four into our Ling family's Ling Kong Shen Zhen."
"So you'll be facing the heritage of five families by yourself!"
"Under these circumstances, I don't believe you'll have any way to turn the tables!"
Ling Tengyun's words made the China team members tremble with fear!
They hadn't expected Ling Tengyun to go this far.
After all, those members of Xin Jian Bo were from their respective families.
And in those families, there were undoubtedly top-tier needle techniques passed down.
Such needle techniques were already remarkable individually!
If five needle techniques were combined, it would be an unbeatable technique!
However, even though the team members felt the competition was precarious, Wu Tian remained unfazed.
He said calmly, "Is that so? However, the combined needle technique is not that simple, especially the fusion of top-tier needle techniques, which is extremely difficult."
"After all, there can be significant differences in logic and compatibility between needle techniques."
"Are you sure that what you've fused in just a week won't have any problems?"
"So, are you sure you can do it?"
Ling Tengyun said with a sinister grin and a cold tone, "Stop trying to scare me. Who do you think I am? I am the young master of the Ling family, and the top genius in China!"
"A genius like me would be a top disciple even in the Divine Doctor Sect!"
"So, anything you say now is useless. Instead of saying these things, you'd better worry about yourself!"
