The elder of the Li Family was filled with regret, regretting his neglect yesterday. If only he had reminded Li Cunxu not to display the Half-Saint Lotus Eye openly in front of others or in crowded places.

As he wished, Li Cunxu did not display the Half-Saint Lotus Eye.

"Xiaoruan, let the toxic fog spread."

Xiaoruan quickly blew out a highly concentrated cloud of Garbage Toxin, and in no time, the arena was shrouded in a purple toxic fog, causing the Power Monkey to lose its vision.

Can it locate by sound?

The Power Monkey indicated it could not, as it had been busy acquainting itself with advanced skills over the past few months.

Xiang Zhongzhong looked at the dense toxic fog with deep concern.

"If only the gravity of my Heavy Pupil Eye were a bit stronger."

Applying gravity to the toxic fog could cause it to sink, but Xiang Zhongzhong's Heavy Pupil Eye only made it sink slightly, offering no help to the battle at all.

The other Pupil Technique of the Heavy Pupil Eye is anti-gravity, which can make objects lose gravitational pull and float skyward.

Yet, just like gravity, anti-gravity couldn't solve the toxic fog problem. If the Heavy Pupil Eye were a few degrees stronger, it could indeed make the toxic fog float completely upwards and leave the arena.

"Ugh~"

The rotten egg odor of the Garbage Toxin wafted into Xiang Zhongzhong's nose, making him feel extremely nauseous, prompting him to quickly cover his mouth and nose.

So stinky.

Due to garbage disposal, Garbage Slimes proliferated excessively, and as the number of Garbage Slime increased, so did the skill experience tax from the Garbage Toxin.

As a result, Xiaoruan's Garbage Toxin had exceeded its limit four times.

How toxic quadruple limit-breaking Garbage Toxin was, Li Cunxu did not know, but he knew it was surely very smelly.

Every time Xiaoruan unleashed the Garbage Toxin, even the guard dog Ah Huang would run far away.

Amidst the stench of Garbage Toxin, Li Cunxu maintained a calm demeanor.

That's because this time he chose not the detox pill but a specially crafted gas mask.

The poison of the Garbage Toxin did not have much effect on the Power Monkey.

Firstly, because the Power Monkey was a metal-based pet beast, and metal attributes had resistance to toxins unless it was a toxin specifically aimed at metal types, otherwise, it wouldn't have much effect.

Secondly, the Power Monkey had consumed many spiritual meals that increased toxin resistance.

However, Li Cunxu wasn't counting on the Garbage Toxin to defeat the Power Monkey; releasing the Garbage Toxin was merely a test of Xiaoruan's adaptability in the battlefield.

"That's enough, Xiaoruan, finish it off!"

Li Cunxu snapped his fingers.

Xiaoruan spat out a water ball with full force, soaring like a rapidly flying cannonball. The Power Monkey, who previously seemed invincible, was unexpectedly knocked out of the arena by a single water ball.

The Power Monkey only came to a stop after crashing into the arena walls, which were now covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Zhongzhong found it unbelievable that his Power Monkey could be blown away.

A little Water Slime could blast my Power Monkey away?

Xiang Zhongzhong thought he was seeing things or hallucinating, rubbed his eyes, and indeed, his Power Monkey had been blasted away.

The referee was equally amazed, but indeed, the Power Monkey was blasted away.

"Contestant Xiang Zhongzhong, do you wish to continue?"

"I concede."

Continue my foot; the Power Monkey can't handle it, you think I can?

Xiang Zhongzhong looked up at the overhead holographic screen's battle replay.

Fog can detract from viewers' experience, so scholars invented camera lenses that can see through various mists, allowing viewers to see clearly what happens in the fog.

After watching the battle replay, Xiang Zhongzhong found it even more unbelievable that...his Power Monkey was beaten by a water ball.

Moreover, Xiang Zhongzhong realized that the blue Water Slime before him was much stronger than he imagined; the power displayed during the battle was just the tip of the iceberg.

Xiang Zhongzhong couldn't comprehend how his Power Monkey, despite having the best spiritual meals and skills, could fall so short compared to the Water Slime.

Xiang Zhongzhong asked, "How is your Water Slime this strong?"

"It's because I have the Holy Lotus Eye, of course."

Li Cunxu pointed to his right eye, though he still hadn't revealed his fabricated Half-Saint Lotus Eye. Displaying the Half-Saint Lotus Eye publicly would invite hostility from the Holy Lotus Family.

Xiang Zhongzhong seemed to understand; the sacred meal, no wonder the Water Slime was so strong. He felt much relieved.

"The sacred meal's effect is this good? I should ask my aunt to get some for my Power Monkey," Xiang Zhongzhong thought to himself.

After leaving the arena, he encountered an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face rushing up to him.

"Hello, Li Cunxu. I am Li Shihuo, an elder of the Saint Lotus Li Family, inviting you to return to the family."

"Does the elder know I have a Half-Saint Eye?"

"I do."

As expected, the Breeder Association is a sieve for information; no secret can be contained.

"I heard that returning with a Half-Saint Eye won't get core member status in the family."

"Correct."

"Then I won't be returning."

Li Shihuo pondered for a moment, thinking that Li Cunxu's talent was quite okay. Even with a Half-Saint Eye, managing to defeat the peerless talent of the Double Pupil Xiang Family without family support wasn't incapable of earning a core member status.

"If you want core member status, I can negotiate with the family."

This left Li Cunxu bewildered. I only refused to return to the Li Family as an excuse, but you agreed?

Li Cunxu's eyes turned, quickly conjuring another excuse.

"Returning to the Li Family isn't impossible; I have a foe in the Li Family."

Li Shihuo furrowed his brow, thinking it would be troublesome to have an enemy.

Li Cunxu continued, "I'm not asking you to kill him, just to give him a good beating."

Given an excuse to fight, this was something he was good at!

Li Shihuo rolled up his sleeves.

"Who is your enemy?"

"Li Shiji."

"All right, I'll go beat him up right now. Wait...who did you just say?"

"Li Shiji."

"Which Li Shiji?"

"Shi as in time, Ji as in help the world."

Li Shihuo discreetly rolled down his sleeves, coughing awkwardly a few times.

"How did he become your enemy?"

"He is my grandfather, yet he didn't show up at my father's funeral. Moreover, my father's death was mysterious, and I suspect he caused it."

"I see. Your father's death was likely not his doing; I trust his character."

Li Shihuo said with great confidence, Li Shiji was never one to cover up his crimes.

Li Cunxu also knew it was unlikely Li Shiji was the cause, but he said this to find a reason to sever ties with Li Shiji.

"Even if he wasn't behind it, he didn't even bother attending his son's funeral. I can't recognize such a heartless, cold-blooded grandfather. If you help me beat him up, I'll return to the family, okay?"

Li Cunxu stared intently at Li Shihuo.

Li Shihuo: ...

How about no?

I seriously suspect you're trying to get me killed.

Li Shiji, who is he? From east to west of Tongdu, he chopped down offenders, staining the streets and rivers red, and to this day, the bloodstains on the streets have yet to be wiped clean.

He hacked the top ten families into submission, and they dare not seek revenge, even warning their juniors not to provoke Li Shiji to avoid inviting disaster to the family.

He slashed three of the four Evil God Sects, leaving only the Blood God Sect.

It's not just that I can't beat Li Shiji, even if the Patriarch came, it wouldn't help.

"It's impossible."

"Then farewell."

Li Cunxu turned to leave, but Li Shihuo grabbed him.
