Chapter 944: What Greatness And Righteousness

"He's here."

Fu Nanshan reminded.

His expression also turned serious.

Although he was confident that these poisons wouldn't have much effect on him, if they truly entered his body, he would likely suffer quite a bit.

Yi Feng's eyes also lit up.

As the poisonous mist completely enveloped his surroundings, he even took a few deep breaths.

Then he sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for the poison to take effect.

In fact, fearing that it might be too slow, he even forcefully circulated his energy.

"Oh."

"My stomach does feel a bit sore now."

Yi Feng felt the sensation in his lower abdomen, his face full of anticipation.

But he didn't know that this was just his imagination...

Beside him, seeing Yi Feng calm and focused, Fu Nanshan nodded.

It seemed that this kid was seriously resisting the poisonous mist.

He wondered how long this kid could hold out.

But it seemed like nothing would happen in the short term.

Thinking this, Fu Nanshan simply closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

After all.

His recent cultivation had reached a critical point.

He needed to seize every moment.

Time passed bit by bit.

Seeing that his body still hadn't shown any clear symptoms, Yi Feng grew a bit impatient.

But noticing that Fu Nanshan beside him hadn't been affected by the poison either, he thought that perhaps the poison took effect slowly, so he patiently waited.

Outside, the people of the Poison Island were also tense.

"I wonder what the result will be."

"Yeah, I wonder if the poisonous mist we developed can pose a life-threatening danger to a Unity Realm cultivator."

Everyone was on edge.

If they were asked to create a poison that could kill a specific Unity Realm cultivator, they probably could.

But if the target was a space, and the goal was to kill all Unity Realm cultivators within that space, the difficulty would be entirely different.

If they succeeded this time, it would be a milestone for them.

Time.

Several more hours passed in the blink of an eye.

While cultivating, Fu Nanshan occasionally checked on Yi Feng's condition.

So any movement from Yi Feng didn't escape his notice.

He hadn't expected Yi Feng to hold out for so long.

Just as he was beginning to think that the Poison Island's mist wasn't potent enough to threaten a Unity Realm cultivator, Yi Feng finally let out a pained cry.

"I... I can't hold on anymore."

With that, he collapsed.

"Oh?"

"Has this kid finally reached his limit?"

Seeing this, Fu Nanshan quickly stood up and checked Yi Feng's condition.

"Hmm?"

"This kid's seven orifices are normal?"

Observing Yi Feng's state, Fu Nanshan frowned, "Could the poison be targeting his internal organs?"

"If it's targeting the internal organs, we can't delay too long. Prolonged exposure could cause serious aftereffects."

While analyzing Yi Feng's condition, Fu Nanshan quickly took his pulse.

"Eh?"

"Why is this kid's pulse so normal too?"

Fu Nanshan's eyes widened in shock, completely baffled, "What on earth is going on?"

However.

Just as he was utterly confused, a sound suddenly echoed in the quiet space.

"Snore... snore."

At first, the sound was rhythmic.

The next moment, it made Fu Nanshan's hair stand on end.

Because the sound wasn't coming from anywhere else—it was coming from Yi Feng. He was snoring lightly.

"Damn it, I thought you were done for."

"Turns out you're just sleeping."

"Making me analyze and deduce for so long."

Furious, Fu Nanshan grabbed Yi Feng and shouted, "You brat, are you out of your mind? You're sleeping in a space filled with poisonous mist?"

"Don't bother me, let me sleep."

"I stayed up all night last night, and I've been up for hours today. I can't hold on anymore, let me sleep a bit longer."

Yi Feng didn't even want to open his eyes, mumbling as he spoke. In the face of overwhelming sleepiness, everything else was forgotten.

Time passed, and it was unclear how long it had been...

When Yi Feng woke up, he was surrounded by people.

The first to catch his eye were the poison masters of the Poison Island.

They all looked grim, filled with disappointment, "It seems our poisonous mist has failed..."

"Does it really have no significant effect on Unity Realm cultivators..."

Everyone was filled with regret, as this meant all their recent efforts had been in vain.

"Of course it didn't work, what did you expect?"

Beside them, Fu Nanshan's cursing voice rang out, "This kid slept in your poisonous mist space for half a day. How could it have any effect?"

Coming to his senses, Yi Feng also felt a deep sense of regret and frustration.

Not only had he failed to die, but he had also fallen asleep.

"So frustrating, how could it fail?"

Yi Feng clenched his fists, smashing a skull beneath him into pieces.

The poison masters, who were still immersed in their failure, were stunned by Yi Feng's reaction.

Logically, one should be happy to have survived.

But this guy seemed even more upset than they were.

Seeing Yi Feng's emotions spiraling out of control, smashing several more skulls into pieces, the poison masters quickly tried to comfort him.

"Brother Yi, there's no need to be so upset."

"Yes, Brother Yi, please don't be so sad."

"Life is full of failures. Learn from each experience, and success will come in the future."

Everyone tried to console him.

But deep down, they felt something was off.

Shouldn't they be the ones needing comfort?

Why were they comforting Yi Feng instead?

"You just don't understand," an old man beside them said with admiration, "Brother Yi is concerned for the world, having long since disregarded his own life. He values the success of this experiment more than his own life."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Yes.

Otherwise, why would Brother Yi be so heartbroken?

His spirit was so rare, so admirable.

Unable to hold back, everyone bowed to Yi Feng.

Although the outcome was a failure, knowing that someone as selfless as Brother Yi was safe and sound made the failure seem insignificant.

"No!"

"What did we agree on before entering?"

"Didn't we say that if you couldn't poison me to death, you wouldn't give up?"

Yi Feng stood up, pointing at the poison masters of the Poison Island, "You can't go back on your word. If you can't even poison me to death, how can you claim to be the most skilled poison masters in the entire Cloud Star? Show me your real skills!"

"I'll give you a number."

"Three days!"

"Within three days, you must arrange the next poison test for me."

"If you can't poison me to death, you might as well go home and raise pigs."

"Uh..."

Yi Feng's words caused a huge stir, leaving the poison masters speechless.

Then.

Their faces turned red with shame, wishing they could find a hole to hide in.

Because Yi Feng's words had thoroughly awakened them.

Yes.

They boasted of being the most skilled poison masters in the entire Cloud Star, arrogantly seeing themselves as the saviors of humanity's future.

If they couldn't even develop a poisonous mist that could kill a Unity Realm cultivator, they might as well go home and raise pigs.

At this moment.

Those who had just experienced failure and discouragement felt a renewed surge of determination.

They couldn't believe that Brother Yi was so great.

He had actually requested that they arrange another poison test for him within three days.

This was true greatness.

True righteousness.

Brother Yi was willing to sacrifice his life for the future of humanity, speaking so casually about it. How could they, as the most skilled poison masters in the Cloud Star, not strive harder?

If they couldn't give Brother Yi a proper answer, how could they face him again?

"Thank you, Brother Yi, for your encouragement."

"We will immediately restart our research."

"We will definitely give you an answer within three days."

With that, the poison masters left, filled with determination and ready to take on the challenge.
