As soon as the poison array formed, Hu Liena dashed out, but it was still too late; the toxin had already entered through her skin, mouth, and nose.
This toxin actually caused her soul power and strength inside her body to rapidly dissolve.
While running, her second soul ring and third soul ring lit up one after another.
Hu Liena's third soul ring was a purple thousand-year soul ring, with an age of about two thousand years, slightly less than Jiang Chen's two soul rings, but as a control-type soul ring, the skill it contained could not be underestimated.
Seeing that Hu Liena had already been affected, Jiang Chen chuckled. His figure quickly closed in on Hu Liena, preparing to thoroughly take complete advantage of this senior sister who had always liked to torment him in the past.
His speed was fast, but before he could take a few steps, the skills from Hu Liena's two soul rings took effect on him.
His mind dazed for a moment, and Jiang Chen fell into an illusion.
In his illusion, Hu Liena's clothes were half-undone, gracefully approaching him with a seductive figure that was faintly visible and extremely fatal. Moreover, Hu Liena's highly enticing voice kept whispering in his ear.
Looking at the Hu Liena slowly walking toward him, Jiang Chen only wanted to sink into it and reach the other shore of ultimate bliss with her.
With Jiang Chen losing control of the poison array, Hu Liena finally broke free, but her condition was already very bad.
The toxin in Jiang Chen's poison array was not extremely fierce, but it was unusually strange and difficult to deal with, constantly disintegrating her soul power and body.
She gritted her teeth, pulled out a dagger, thought for a moment, then switched to an iron hammer and charged toward Jiang Chen.
She was already poisoned and could no longer maintain a long-range control tactic; otherwise, if this dragged on, Jiang Chen would definitely wake up, while she would lose all resistance due to the poison.
As long as she could knock Jiang Chen unconscious, she would win this match.
Hu Liena's strength inside her body was rapidly diminishing, her face turning somewhat purple. She quickly rushed in front of Jiang Chen, raised the hammer, and was about to smash it down on his head.
"Senior Sister, you're so ruthless. Aren't you afraid of knocking your junior brother silly?" Jiang Chen's dazed eyes instantly cleared up. He gave Hu Liena an evil smile, raised his hand, and grabbed the hand holding the iron hammer.
Hu Liena was shocked. "You... you didn't fall into my illusion?"
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Senior Sister is so beautiful and alluring; your junior brother really couldn't bear to leave the illusion. It's just that I knew I was inside an illusion. How could a fake Senior Sister compare to the real one in charm? So I came out."
"You..." Hu Liena was somewhat exasperated. She hadn't expected Jiang Chen to be so cunning, pretending to be bewitched and waiting for her to deliver herself.
She exerted force with her right hand, trying to break free from Jiang Chen's grip, which was like an iron clamp, but it had no effect at all.
"Stop, Nana. You've lost." Bibi Dong spoke up.
Jiang Chen released Hu Liena. Her expression was somewhat dim. For a control-type soul master to be caught by an assault-type soul master meant there was no chance of turning things around.
"Senior Sister, let me help you detoxify." Jiang Chen said.
But as soon as his words fell, Hu Liena went limp. He reacted quickly and caught her in his arms.
The soft body entered his embrace, but Jiang Chen had no lewd thoughts. He grabbed Hu Liena's palm and began drawing the toxin out of her body.
Hu Liena hadn't stayed in the poison array for long, so the amount of toxin that entered her body wasn't much. But over time, this tricky toxin still caused her body to lose all resistance. If not detoxified in time, it might endanger her life.
As the toxin inside her body was cleared, Hu Liena's complexion improved greatly, and her soul power quickly circulated, beginning to restore her body.
Jiang Chen felt a bit troubled; he wasn't a healing-type soul master; otherwise, he could have treated Hu Liena properly.
"Senior Sister, are you okay now? I'm sorry, I..."
Hu Liena interrupted him. "It's not your fault. It's because your senior sister is useless—ten levels higher than you and still couldn't control you."
Jiang Chen quickly comforted her, "Actually, I did fall into your illusion earlier. It was only after you came right in front of me that I woke up. Your illusion is actually very powerful, Senior Sister."
"Really?" Hu Liena's dim expression brightened up.
"Little Chen is right. Nana, your illusion is already very strong among control-type skills. It's just that Little Chen's will is a bit stronger, so he could break free from your control quickly. You must remember this lesson in the future, an enemy might turn around and deceive you instead." Bibi Dong walked over.
"Teacher, I've disappointed you." Hu Liena said with her head lowered.
"It's fine. You're already very outstanding. Here, take this pill." Bibi Dong took out a medicinal pill and had Hu Liena swallow it.
This was made from precious medicinal herbs. Though the production method was crude, the effect was already quite good and had a great impact on recovering from qi and blood deficiency.
After taking the medicine, Hu Liena's complexion looked much better. She left Jiang Chen's embrace and stood up.
Bibi Dong looked at the young boy and girl standing together before her, feeling extremely satisfied. The cultivation talent of these two disciples was no weaker than hers back in the day.
Especially Jiang Chen, aside from having one less martial soul than her, in all other aspects, he far surpassed her as his teacher.
Perhaps in a few more years, she really needed to consider arranging for Jiang Chen to become the new Saint Son.
And Hu Liena, too, if she performed well, she would consider making her the new generation's Saintess.
With two such outstanding disciples, if they both became Titled Douluo in the future, her lineage having three Douluo would become a beautiful tale.
"Hm, Little Chen, you're grown up now. You should live separately from your senior sister. Nana, arrange a room for him."
"Yes, Teacher." Hu Liena nodded in agreement.
"Hm, it's rare for our master-disciple trio to gather. Let's have a meal together." Bibi Dong smiled.
...
This was the first time Jiang Chen had dinner with Bibi Dong. The three of them together made him feel an inevitable sense of closeness.
After leaving home for so many years, he once again experienced the feeling of family.
"Little Chen, Teacher has seen all your hard work these years. Once you break through to Soul Elder, Teacher will reward you with a soul bone." Bibi Dong said.
Jiang Chen was startled and quickly put down his chopsticks. "Teacher, this is too precious."
Bibi Dong shook her head. "Don't refuse. This is what you deserve. I rewarded your senior sister with one as well. You two just focus on cultivating diligently. For everything else, Teacher will plan it out for you."
Jiang Chen felt moved and quickly nodded. "Thank you, Teacher."
This was a soul bone! He hadn't expected Bibi Dong to reward him with one so soon. Only an organization as wealthy and powerful as Spirit Hall could afford to do this.
Once he absorbed the soul bone, he would gain an additional soul bone skill, and his strength would increase once more.
...
After dinner, Jiang Chen and Hu Liena returned to their residence.
Hu Liena opened an empty room next door. "Little Chen, you'll live next to me from now on. This way, your senior sister can exchange more with you."
"Exchange what?" Jiang Chen panicked inwardly and quickly asked.
Hu Liena snorted coldly, somewhat displeased. "Of course, exchanging about cultivation! You brat didn't give me any face at all, making me suffer a crushing defeat in front of Teacher. If I don't properly torment you from now on, my name isn't Hu Liena!"
"Done for." Jiang Chen's heart started racing. He felt that those days of being used as a guinea pig by Hu Liena were about to return.
