Chapter 427: Do You Dare to Have a Match (5)
“You’re right. We should not be afraid! It’s just a match.” The other students had also started to agree in unison.
That was a kind of great honor. When Shen Yanxiao partic.i.p.ated in the monthly compet.i.tion as a first-year student, it had brought recognition to her fellow year mates. At that moment, Shen Yanxiao represented the entirety of Saint Laurent Academy’s Herbalist Division, and everyone looked forward to her triumph so that they could shut their opponents’ mouths for once!
“What new method do you have in mind?” Luo Fan looked at Shen Yanxiao arrogantly. Regardless of the compet.i.tion, he was confident that he would win it.
In the world of herbalism, no one else was as talented as him in the same age group!
She was merely an insignificant first-year student. How could she be his match when other students from higher years were not even his opponent!
He would accept her challenge and defeat her right in front of everyone. Then Ye Qing would realize that he was one who deserved to be his student!
Shen Yanxiao smiled and said, “Simple, the three of us would prepare a potion with detrimental effects, and our opponent will consume it. Then, with our skills, we would have to guess what it was that we had drunk, and we would also have to make the antidote in the shortest time possible.”
“A potion with detrimental effects?” Luo Fan looked at Shen Yanxiao in astonishment. He did not expect her to come up with such a crazy idea.
Herbalism is not only about potions with beneficial effects, but some carried detrimental effects as well. Even though those potions could not kill a person immediately, it could have frightening effects on one’s health too.
Luo Fan knew of some potions with detrimental effects that would render someone as good as dead.
Why would Shen Yanxiao want to compete in that? That did not even sound like a compet.i.tion. Instead, it seemed as if they would need to fight with their lives!
Who could guess the adverse effects that a random potion could inflict on their bodies? It meant that they would have to work in the dark to speculate the type potion that they had drunk, and they had to do that while they suffered the effects from the potion too. That was simply unimaginable.
Luo Fan was momentarily speechless.
He had never seen someone who would use a detrimental type of potion as the basis of compet.i.tion.
Shangguan Xiao was also dumbstruck. He did not expect Shen Yanxiao to be that crazy!
The students in the library were also frightened by what they had heard.
“Erm, Shen Jue, is this not too cruel?” One of the students gulped. She would dare to use a potion that could kill an enemy and harm oneself?!
Furthermore, she had to compete against two people. That meant that she would have to consume two potions with detrimental effects!
If she were to make one tiny mistake, then her life would be in great danger!
Had Shen Jue gone crazy?
“Why? Do you not dare to do it?” Shen Yanxiao crossed her arms and raised her chin slightly as she looked at both of them with scorn in her eyes.
That seemingly crazy compet.i.tion was her ‘Thank You’ gift to Luo Fan and Shangguan Xiao!
Even if she could not slaughter them, she could still use their most prideful potions to destroy their futures!
When Luo Fan came to his senses, he gritted his teeth as he glared at the arrogant little brat. Everyone had already heard her suggestion, so if he were to cower, would he not be the laughingstock in the academy? Furthermore, he had always said that he wanted to compete with Shen Yanxiao. If he were to eat his words, then he probably could no longer walk around with his head held high.
“It’s only a match, why would I be afraid? When would you like to do it?” Luo Fan clenched his teeth and agreed.
However, Shangguan Xiao was secretly surprised with his decision.
Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes as a cold glint streaked across them. “Tomorrow afternoon. I’ll wait for the both of you in the first-year student’s lab.
