Hearing Wu Tian utter such words, Lin Long scoffed inwardly.
After all, his Soul-Stealing Soup had received a score of 95, and he was confident he had already won.
Therefore, he looked at Wu Tian and said with a mocking expression, "I really don't know what you're thinking."
"Let me be blunt, your victory over Elder Xiao just now was purely due to luck. Do you think such luck can strike a second time?"
Liu Xue had always been unconvinced by Wu Tian, so she chimed in, "Exactly. Practicing poison requires genuine skill. Always relying on luck to win is impossible!"
"I absolutely do not believe you can get a score higher than 95 today!"
Listening to the two of them speak in unison, Wu Tian showed no signs of anger.
He merely smiled faintly and said, "Miss Liu, you've already been proven wrong once, why are you still so tactless?"
"If you get proven wrong again, won't you be very embarrassed?"
Liu Xue was slightly taken aback. She was actually a little worried, as she found Wu Tian to be too peculiar.
To be honest, she couldn't guarantee that Wu Tian would definitely lose to Lin Long.
However, upon further thought, she felt that Wu Tian was bound to lose.
After all, even she, the foremost expert of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, had only achieved a maximum score of 95 when making Soul-Stealing Soup. Could Wu Tian possibly be more skilled than her?
With this thought, she inexplicably gained confidence.
She then puffed out her chest and said indignantly, "Just you wait and see. If I say you'll lose, then you will definitely lose!"
Wu Tian smiled again.
He knew that Liu Xue's words were baseless. This woman simply refused to acknowledge him.
But what did it matter? He always judged success by the outcome. Whether he was acknowledged during the process was meaningless.
Next, he poured his Soul-Stealing Soup into the testing instrument.
Both Lin Long and Liu Xue's expressions turned extremely tense at this moment.
Although they had mocked Wu Tian verbally, they were actually very concerned about the result.
Soon, the instrument emitted a sound, and the result appeared on the screen.
In an instant, both Lin Long and Liu Xue felt their hearts stop beating.
96 points!
Wu Tian's bowl of Soul-Stealing Soup had actually scored 96 points!
Lin Long was almost petrified.
After a moment, he stammered, "Wh-what?"
As for Wu Tian, he had already anticipated this result and was not surprised at all.
He smiled and said, "Oh dear, I'm truly sorry. I've won again this time."
"How could this be..." Lin Long's reaction was identical to Xiao Jin's earlier; he simply could not accept this fact.
"No, it's impossible!"
"96 points... How could you possibly get 96 points!"
Wu Tian shrugged, smiling casually, "To be honest, I'm also quite surprised by this. To exceed it by one point twice in a row, how can such a thing happen?"
Despite his words, anyone could tell from his relaxed expression that he had no doubt about the result and felt it was entirely expected.
Then, Wu Tian turned his smiling gaze to Liu Xue.
He grinned and said, "Miss Liu, it seems you spoke too soon. I appear to have proven you wrong again!"
Liu Xue found the result incredibly hard to believe.
She couldn't imagine such a thing happening. Wu Tian had actually won twice in a row, and under such difficult circumstances. How was this possible!
For a moment, Liu Xue was speechless.
She felt a knot in her chest, her head was spinning, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
Meanwhile, Liu Chuanxiong applauded Wu Tian, laughing heartily, "Wu Tian, you consistently surprise me."
"You know, even I, the Sect Master, cannot make Soul-Stealing Soup with a score of 96!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "It's nothing, as I said, it's just good luck."
"Although some people think I can't win twice in a row by luck, it seems my luck is quite good this time!"
Liu Chuanxiong found Wu Tian to be full of mystery.
To be honest, although he admired Wu Tian, when Lin Long produced the 95-point Soul-Stealing Soup, even he believed Wu Tian was bound to lose.
But he never imagined Wu Tian possessed such formidable skill to actually produce 96-point Soul-Stealing Soup!
This was truly unbelievable.
But the facts were right before him. No matter how much he refused to believe it, he had to accept it.
Therefore, he nodded at Wu Tian and said, "Yes, Wu Tian, it seems you have won this second round as well."
Wu Tian smiled and then said to Lin Long, "Elder Lin, I have won."
"I know you were letting me win, so rest assured, I will definitely be proud."
Hearing Wu Tian's words, Lin Long's face turned red with embarrassment.
He glared fiercely at Wu Tian, wanting to curse him, but he could only open his mouth, unable to utter a single word.
He had lost now. No matter how angry he was, what use was it?
Losing was losing. The result represented everything. No matter how furious he was, it was all in vain.
Wu Tian had no interest in Lin Long. He then turned to Liu Chuanxiong and said, "Sect Master Liu, since I have already won two matches, I should be competing with Miss Liu in the final round, right?"
Liu Chuanxiong nodded and said, "That's correct. The next is the third round, and also the final round."
"Daughter, you are our Ten Thousand Poisons Sect's last hope. It's up to you now."
Liu Xue couldn't help but be startled.
All of this had exceeded her expectations. Logically, with Xiao Jin and Lin Long in front, Wu Tian shouldn't have made it to the third round.
But now she still had to participate. This was utterly absurd to her.
Seeing Liu Xue remain silent, Wu Tian teased, "Hey, why the sudden silence? Have I scared you into speechlessness?"
Liu Xue snapped back to reality and instantly became furious.
She glared at Wu Tian and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if you won the first two rounds, you will definitely lose to me!"
"You say 'definitely' again?" Wu Tian continued to smile. "I've already told you, don't speak so definitively. Why don't you ever listen?"
"Do you enjoy being proven wrong that much?"
