Chapter 50 I've actually been poisoned?
"Teacher, what kind of poison is 'Bone-Corroding Water'?"
Seeing Chen Lin's appearance, Xia Liuli's expression also became serious.
"This bone-corroding water is a unique poison from an evil underground organization. It is extremely insidious. Those poisoned will not die immediately, but will have to endure excruciating pain every day until all the bones in their body are eroded away, turning them into a pile of mud. Living... is more painful than dying!" Chen Lin said as if facing a formidable enemy.
“That organization was wiped out long ago, and the Bone-Corroding Water was buried with it. I never expected that Sun Youde would actually find such a rare poison…”
Xia Liuli was also very surprised after hearing this, and hurriedly asked if the poison of the Bone-Corroding Water was easy to cure.
"There is still no antidote for this poison..." Chen Lin sighed.
"What? Then what's the point of the competition? Teacher, let's not compete anymore!" Xia Liuli said, sounding a little anxious.
"Heh, you don't want to compete? Then admit you're spineless and admit defeat!" Sun Youde mocked.
Chen Lin's face turned ugly. He glanced at Xiao Chen again, and seeing that Xiao Chen's expression was calm, he gritted his teeth.
"Whoever backs down is a coward! Let's begin!"
Sun Youde gave a cold laugh and ordered someone to send the medicine bottle over.
Xiao Chen also took out a pill and asked it to be delivered to Sun Youde.
In front of everyone, the two simultaneously ingested each other's poison.
The bone-corroding water worked quickly; shortly after drinking it, Chen Lin's body trembled and his face showed pain.
"Heh heh, the drug's taking effect, enjoy it!" Sun Youde laughed loudly.
He also ate the pills that were brought to him from across the street, but he did not feel any discomfort.
"I've been researching poisons for years, and I inevitably have to test and detoxify them. My body has long since developed resistance to them. These nameless things of yours have absolutely no effect on me!" he sneered arrogantly.
"Mr. Xiao, I feel like my bones are melting. Do you have any good ideas? Please use them quickly." Chen Lin couldn't take it anymore and urged Xiao Chen.
Without saying a word, Xiao Chen reached out and pressed a few acupoints on his body.
"I have temporarily stopped the spread of the poison," he said.
"Ha, so self-righteous. Don't you know that the more you try to suppress the rebound of the Bone-Corroding Water, the more intense the rebound becomes?" Sun Youde said with a look of disdain.
"Xiao Chen, your safety is now in my hands!" Xia Liuli said solemnly.
"Just some bone-corroding water, no big deal," Xiao Chen said calmly, slowly taking out a black pill.
"How dare you speak so arrogantly! No doctor in the world would dare to underestimate Bone-Corroding Water, so who do you think you are?" Sun Youde's face darkened as he angrily rebuked him.
"Xiao Chen, you're overestimating yourself. You think such a small pill can cure the poison of the Bone-Corroding Water? Do you think all the doctors in the Xia Kingdom are useless?" At this moment, Xiao Shanshan also came out and mocked Xiao Chen in front of everyone.
Xiao Chen glanced at them indifferently and handed the pills to Chen Lin.
"Won't this pill kill the teacher?" Xia Liuli asked worriedly.
If this highly toxic substance is ingested incorrectly, it will not only have no effect, but may also trigger a chain reaction that could be fatal.
"It's just bone-corroding water, it can be cured." Xiao Chen remained calm and composed.
Chen Lin didn't care about anything else and quickly swallowed the pill.
After eating it, his expression immediately changed, and his face turned pale.
Xia Liuli was startled, thinking that the teacher was about to die.
"Teacher...how...how are you?" she asked anxiously.
"Hmph! This is what happens when you underestimate the Bone-Corroding Water!" Sun Youde sneered.
"Keep pretending, keep pretending, Xiao Chen. Chen Lin was ruined by you. Now that he's gone, let's see what confidence you have left!" Xiao Shanshan became even more smug.
Xiao Chen ignored her completely, leaving her only able to sulk.
"call……"
Suddenly, Chen Lin opened his mouth and exhaled a long breath of black air. Then, he relaxed and revealed a blissful smile.
"Comfortable... I've never felt so comfortable before..." he said happily.
Sun Youde, Xiao Shanshan, and the two families on the second floor immediately froze, their faces filled with disbelief.
"The poison has been neutralized?" They were very skeptical and couldn't accept it.
How can this be?
"Impossible! That's the poison of bone-corroding water! Even I can't cure it!" Sun Youde exclaimed, his face flushed red.
"It's an act, it must be an act. He thinks he can just grab a pill and detoxify? Xiao Chen doesn't have that kind of ability. He's just a good-for-nothing!" Xiao Shanshan said angrily.
"Stop deceiving yourselves. I'm in great shape right now. Do you think I've been poisoned?" Chen Lin, with a rosy complexion, laughed and jumped around a couple of times, looking very energetic.
Sun Youde's expression froze.
He knew that a person poisoned wouldn't even be able to stand, let alone jump.
"How is this possible... For so many years, no one in Xia Kingdom has been able to solve this problem..." He couldn't accept it and fell into deep self-doubt.
Xia Liuli's eyes sparkled with wonder.
She never expected that Xiao Chen could even cure the Bone-Corroding Water.
This is a rare poison that even top-tier doctors are helpless against.
"Xiao Chen, where did you get the antidote? How could you possibly have the antidote?" Xiao Shanshan questioned.
"Is it any of your business?" Xiao Chen retorted directly.
"The poison has been neutralized; you have lost."
"Bullshit!" Sun Youde immediately turned angry and said, "So what if you've cured the poison? I'm still perfectly fine! At most, it'll be a draw!"
“Exactly, at most it’ll be a draw, then we’ll have to start over!” Xiao Shanshan chimed in.
Xiao Chen chuckled softly, staring at Sun Youde.
“Three,” he uttered a single word.
"What did you say?" Everyone stared at him.
"Two," Xiao Chen continued counting.
Sun Youde was displeased and was about to lash out.
“One,” Xiao Chen finished counting.
"puff!"
Sun Youde's expression suddenly changed, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His face turned ashen, and he collapsed to the ground.
This sudden turn of events shocked everyone.
"Dr. Sun!" Xiao Shanshan quickly squatted down to check, and Xiao Hongyuan and the others on the second floor could no longer stand and quickly went downstairs.
"I...I've actually been poisoned?" Sun Youde stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
He believed that his body's resistance to poison was already very strong, and he didn't take Xiao Chen's poison pill seriously at all.
But the drastic changes happening inside his body have alarmed him.
"Dr. Sun, how are you?" Xiao Hongyuan and the others came over to ask.
They don't want to lose.
"So what if I'm poisoned? It's not like I've never been poisoned before!" Sun Youde asked Xiao Shanshan to help him up, still looking defiant.
“According to the competition rules, as long as I cure this poison, there will be no problem, and it will still be a draw!” he said coldly, directing Xiao Shanshan to bring out his medicine box.
Both families trusted him.
After all, Sun Youde was one of the best at researching poisons, and was especially skilled at detoxification.
Soon, Sun Youde pulled out a bottle of medicine.
"This is my most prized creation. One bottle can cure all poisons. It's extremely precious. It's such a waste to use it on such a minor poison!" With that, he opened the bottle and drank it down, looking very confident.
Xiao Chen's lips curled up, revealing a hint of disdain.
