Wu Tian's words immediately ignited a fire in Liu Xue's mind again.
She felt that Wu Tian was truly excessive, always speaking so harshly.
Yet, as she thought this, she never considered what she herself had said to Wu Tian.
Perhaps, in her eyes, insulting Wu Tian was normal.
But when Wu Tian spoke to her, it was an unacceptable matter.
She said angrily, "Don't you dare think you're so great. I said I would win, and I will definitely win."
"Dad, give us the challenge now. I want to let him know that my title, Poisonous Fairy, isn't just for show!"
Seeing their tense standoff, Liu Chuanxiong was silent for a moment, his expression appearing somewhat peculiar.
After two seconds, he finally said, "For this third round of competition, we will compete with the King of Hell's Tear."
"What?" Upon hearing the challenge from Liu Chuanxiong, everyone present was greatly startled.
They exchanged glances, and the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became very strange.
Wu Tian also sensed the unusual atmosphere.
What was going on? Did this challenge hold some hidden meaning?
Liu Chuanxiong ignored the atmosphere and looked at Wu Tian, saying, "Wu Tian, do you know what the King of Hell's Tear is?"
"If you don't, I can still provide you with the prescription."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "The renowned King of Hell's Tear? Of course, I know."
"It's hailed as the world's number one poison. Even just a single drop is enough to cause instant death upon contact, and no one can be saved."
Liu Chuanxiong nodded, "You are correct. The King of Hell's Tear is such a potent poison that even with the formula, most poison masters cannot concoct it."
"Do you have any objections to this challenge?"
"If not, then our competition will begin immediately."
Wu Tian nodded, "No problem. Let's start whenever you're ready. I'm always prepared."
Liu Chuanxiong also nodded, "Since you have no issues, then so be it. You may now begin selecting your materials."
Liu Xue didn't waste any words with Wu Tian and was the first to head towards the medicine cabinet.
Wu Tian, as usual, stood still and waited, intending to go later.
While he was waiting, Xiao Jin and Lin Long stared at him with grim expressions.
Their looks suggested they wished they could stab him to death with a single blow.
The more they thought about it, the more furious they became!
They were, after all, esteemed elders of the Myriad Poisons Sect, yet they had suffered such a crushing defeat at Wu Tian's hands!
No matter how they thought about it, it was incredibly stifling!
Finally, Xiao Jin couldn't stand it any longer.
He revealed a sinister smile and said to Wu Tian, "Kid, there's absolutely no way you can turn this around."
"If it were any other poison, I wouldn't be so sure, but when it comes to the King of Hell's Tear, there is absolutely no one in this world more skilled than our young lady!"
"Oh?" Hearing Xiao Jin's words, Wu Tian lightly raised an eyebrow and said, "Is that so? What do you mean?"
Xiao Jin said, "You don't understand our young lady at all."
"Our young lady is naturally very sensitive to the refinement of the King of Hell's Tear. When she was seven, she could already refine a 90-point King of Hell's Tear."
"Now, the King of Hell's Tear she refines can reach up to 98 points!"
"Tell me, what can you possibly use to compete with our young lady?"
"Is that so?" Wu Tian wasn't surprised by this, and he continued to smile.
"In that case, she is indeed quite formidable!"
From Xiao Jin's words, he finally understood.
No wonder the atmosphere became strange after Liu Chuanxiong announced the challenge; it turned out Liu Chuanxiong was biased towards Liu Xue!
It seemed that a biological daughter was indeed a biological daughter; no matter what, one would subconsciously favor them.
However, Wu Tian had no objections to this. Bias was bias, but he didn't take it to heart.
If they could win against him using such means, then he wouldn't have bothered to participate in the trial.
Xiao Jin's original intention was to attack Wu Tian's mindset, but seeing Wu Tian's composure, he and Lin Long immediately felt dissatisfied.
Lin Long said grimly, "What is your attitude? Didn't you hear what Elder Xiao just told you?"
"You've clearly already lost, so why are you still acting as if nothing is wrong!"
Wu Tian tilted his head and looked at him, saying, "No, what kind of expression should I be making?"
"Should I kneel and beg for mercy? Sorry, that doesn't quite fit my persona, does it?"
"If that's your persona, then fine, but forcing your persona onto me is, in any case, rather inappropriate, wouldn't you say?"
"You!" Wu Tian's sharp tongue rendered Lin Long speechless.
He merely said indignantly, "Just keep pretending."
"When our young lady finishes making the King of Hell's Tear, you'll understand what true top-tier skill is!"
While Xiao Jin and Lin Long were talking to Wu Tian, Liu Xue had already collected all the herbs.
She was intimately familiar with the King of Hell's Tear, so she could basically collect the ingredients just by smelling them.
Afterward, Wu Tian also made a grand gesture, and the herbs immediately flew out of the medicine cabinet and landed in the basin.
Since both of them had their herbs ready, the next step was the refinement of the King of Hell's Tear.
The reason the King of Hell's Tear was called that was because it consisted of only a single drop; all its toxicity was concentrated within that one drop of venom!
One could imagine how potent its toxicity was!
This type of poison also indicated that its manufacturing process was inevitably complex, and it couldn't be made quickly.
Wu Tian and Liu Xue were busy until dusk finally arrived, and they had finally produced the King of Hell's Tear.
The King of Hell's Tear was contained in a dropper; it was a drop of crystal-clear venom. If one only looked at its appearance, no one would be able to tell that this was the world's number one potent poison.
This substance had to be preserved with extreme caution.
If it were to fall on the skin, it would immediately seep into the body and, through blood circulation, turn a person into a corpse.
Wu Tian smiled at Liu Xue, "Although we are peers, according to the rule of ladies first, you should go first to test it. What do you think?"
However, Liu Xue did not reply to Wu Tian. She stared at the King of Hell's Tear in the dropper, appearing somewhat lost in thought.
Seeing this, Wu Tian also found it strange.
He couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what's wrong? Have you refined yourself into foolishness by refining poison?"
