Poison God's Heritage

"That was rather impressive, what sort of bomb did he create that could do that much damage?" the commentator asked.

"I would forward that question to Brother Du, he is more proficient in poisons than I am," Eccentric Long said.

"Right, from what I could see, the herbs he bought were Tri Petaled Death Flower, Crimson Yang Seed pant, and Mourning Petals, the three of them each have a different poison effect, the Tri Petaled Death Flower is capable of corroding necrotic material, and is very efficient against corpses and corpse masters as it would deteriorate the blood vessels and internal organs that have no live blood running through them, it is completely harmless to living begins.

The Yang Seed on the other hand has the property of galvanizing Yang Type poisons which the Tri-Petaled Death Flower is, while the Mourning Petal has the ability to neutralize Qi, the combination of the three poisons caused the corpse to have its internal organs melt in seconds and disabled the corpse's Qi for the same amount of time, disallowing it from using its Qi to protect itself.

I would dare say that this is a poison that even I wouldn't dare make," Xiao Du said.

"Why not?" asked Eccentric Long, "The poison seems simple enough with only three main poison herbs in it, why do you think it is difficult?" The commentator asked.

"Because, although the Tri Petaled Death Flower cannot harm living beings, once it is galvanized using the Crimson Yang Seed, it becomes extremely volatile and could even erode living flesh, the fact that he was able to calmly and most impressively rapidly extract the essence from the seed without the entire concoction blowing up in his face is a sign of great mastery, if I were to try and do something like that, I'd need to be very cautious and take my time making such poison, he made it in seconds…"

"I see," The commentator said, "Though we had doubts about this being an indirect interference, the merchant himself said that it was allowed, so Du Shen is hereby deemed qualified to continue the trial, what about the rest of the contenders?" Eccentric Long asked.

"I'm not really sure, a lot of them are still fighting, hell, some even had their base destroyed already, and what they were facing wasn't even as strong as Du Shen's invading corpse," Eccentric Long shrugged.

"Indeed, though they also have invaders that have barely enough power to win against their base, they should have been in a far easier situation," The commentator said.

"Each one of the competitors is dealing with the corpse their own way, some constantly threw puppets at it, and some used all their points to make turrets to take it down, but the corpse itself is more than capable of blocking the turrets, although to a limited extent unlike the corpse Du Shen fought against, still, I see some that are already about to defeat the corpse," Xiao Du said.

Looking at the screen, he was right, some of the corpses were already falling, though dangerously close to the base of the competitors, making it a very frustrating and nerve wrecking experience. No one expected something this strong to come out.

So now, not only are they going to need to further upgrade and repair their base, but they'll also need to prepare for a harsher wave due to the degraded base they all have right now.

"This surprise attack is very interesting," Eccentric Long said.

"How so?" the commentator smiled knowing the answer already.

"Because, not only is it a warning, it is also a hint," Eccentric Long took a pause, "It is very imperative for a strategist to know how to use the full extent of his force. For example, here in this case, all the cultivators that are suffering are cultivators that used the majority if not all their points to upgrade their base.

And once they were done, they were met with an opponent that has an equivalent power to their base. Meaning that victory is already a coinflip and not guaranteed, but if they didn't have a strong base and didn't upgrade it, the enemy they'll be fighting will be weaker. And they'll still have points to use on the fly to further power up their base and survive easily," Eccentric Long explained.

"That is indeed the hidden meaning, one shouldn't always throw his entire force in the fray. But at the same time, if they knew of this, and deliberately weakened their base, they might have not even survived the former waves," The commentator asked.

"Knowing it before wouldn't have mattered, what matters is that they know this fact now, and it is even more dangerous, since it is a risk that they shouldn't take lightly." Eccentric Long said.

"Care to explain, my head is hurting trying to figure out the meaning behind your words," Xiao Du said, though he already understood what Eccentric Long means, he said those words for the audience that seemed confused.

"It is simply a threat, and the threat of a sheathed sword is as deadly as a drawn sword.

Now they know they could end up facing another corpse sooner or later, but at the same time if they upgrade their base enough the corpse will come for them to destroy it, but if they decide to keep it weak, they might lose to a random wave, this knowledge is going to be like a heart demon for the majority of these competitors, always gnawing at the back of their head, should they power up, or should they remain weak." Eccentric Long said.

"What about Du Shen? Do you think he'll weaken his base?"

"Oh, him? No, not at all, from what I saw, I think he is rather pissed that his work was destroyed, I say he'll further improve his base enough that the next corpse if it decides to show up will have a terrible day. Look, he is already requesting more herbs from the merchant, I guess he'll be making more of those bombs…" Eccentric Long said.

And as he mentioned Shen Bao was really pissed.
