The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 790 - 786: Does He Really Think I’m an Idiot?

"Impossible, impossible, how could this be possible? The Purple Wisteria Flower is supposed to weaken the corrosive effect—how could Bone-Dissolving Powder made with it have such an effect? This is easily more than one or two times stronger than our Myriad Poison Sect’s genuine Bone-Dissolving Powder."

Warm sunlight spilled across the land from the sky, and Yuan Fengyang, the Great Elder of the Myriad Poison Sect, shook his head frantically as if possessed, his face filled with disbelief. Where was any hint of his usual Elder’s poise?

The Myriad Poison Sect disciples who had just mocked Ye Chenfeng now seemed as if someone had forcibly grasped their throats, their faces turning an extreme shade of red as they sucked in cool breaths non-stop; after all, the Bone-Dissolving Powder that Chenfeng had concocted was terribly frightening, completely overshadowing the prestige of their Sect’s genuine Bone-Dissolving Powder.

However, the corrosion in the central water tank on the Training Ground seemed far from over; while a mighty storm churned in the hearts of everyone from the Myriad Poison Sect, the tank corroded at a rate visible to the naked eye. Holes began to continuously appear on its surface, and over time, the holes expanded rapidly until eventually, all the water from inside the tank had flowed out through them.

After all the water had drained out, the entire tank was riddled with countless holes—some the size of an adult’s fist, some the size of eyes, and others as small as pinpricks—at this moment, a tank that was once intact was now riddled with thousands of holes.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The sounds of cracking emanated continuously from the tank; followed promptly by spiderweb-like fractures spreading across it. As the cracks grew, the tank shattered into pieces, its fragments scattering on the ground.

Now even Kang Baiyin, the Sect Leader of the Myriad Poison Sect, could no longer feign composure. The large central water tank in the Training Ground was made from a corrosion-resistant material; their Sect’s genuine Bone-Dissolving Powder couldn’t possibly have corroded the tank. Yet now, a special tank resistant to corrosion was corroded by a Bone-Dissolving Powder concocted by an outsider?

This caused Kang Baiyin’s eyes to bulge like lanterns, his mouth agape wide enough to stuff in an egg. Now where was the dignity befitting a Sect Leader?

"Am I dreaming? The Bone-Dissolving Powder could actually be this damn powerful? Who the hell is this kid?"

"If our Myriad Poison Sect could master such a potent Bone-Dissolving Powder, we would definitely be able to take our Sect to the next level. It seems we must retain this youngster today."

"Who said earlier that if this kid could actually concoct Bone-Dissolving Powder, they’d blow up their own chrysanthemum? The powder this kid made is simply the cream of the crop."

...

The Myriad Poison Sect disciples in the surrounding stands focused their gaze on Ye Chenfeng; at this moment, their eyes no longer held mockery or disdain, but instead, they were filled with deep admiration.

"Chenfeng, did you already know that the Bone-Dissolving Powder you made would have this effect? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You had me worried for nothing!" Xia Zining walked up beside Ye Chenfeng, her chest heaving up and down, clearly, she hadn’t anticipated this outcome either. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Chenfeng gave a casual, slight smile. In truth, even he himself was truly shocked by the effects of the Bone-Dissolving Powder he had made. When he originally discovered the ancient poison manual in the Han Sect, it was kept inside a metal box, and there was a layer of white powder coated on it.

Chenfeng once tried dissolving the white powder from the ancient poison manual in water, finding it to be extremely corrosive. Only after flipping through the manual did he realize the white powder spread on it must be the Bone-Dissolving Powder.

However, the Bone-Dissolving Powder that was spread on the ancient manual simply couldn’t compare to the one Chenfeng had concocted now! After some brief contemplation, he hypothesized that the effectiveness of the ancient Bone-Dissolving Powder had diminished significantly over the years.

Having seen the startling effects of the Bone-Dissolving Powder he concocted, while everyone was still in shock, Chenfeng immediately returned to the table where he had made the powder; after all, there was still a good amount of it left over from before.

Ye Chenfeng stored the Bone-Dissolving Powder in a small bottle on the table, which appeared to be made of a very special material. After the powder was poured in, there were no signs of corrosion whatsoever.

Ye Chenfeng’s guess wasn’t wrong. The material used to make the small bottle was dozens of times more corrosion-resistant than the vat. These kinds of bottles were initially used by the Myriad Poison Sect to store Bone-Dissolving Powder, making it convenient for individuals to carry with them. The container designed to carry the powder, naturally, had to be made more perfect. If one were not careful and the powder leaked from inside, wouldn’t one be hoisted by one’s own petard? The Myriad Poison Sect couldn’t afford to lose face like that!

After pouring the Bone-Dissolving Powder into the small bottle, Ye Chenfeng added water to it. Since the powder was too light, if he planned to use the Bone-Dissolving Powder to launch a sneak attack and a gust of wind blew at the wrong moment, wouldn’t it all be blown onto him? Hence, it was more reliable to turn the Bone-Dissolving Powder into Bone Corrosion Liquid.

It took Ye Chenfeng merely a dozen seconds to store the Bone-Dissolving Powder, and he did so very covertly, almost unnoticed by anyone present.

After all, Ye Chenfeng didn’t trust that the Myriad Poison Sect would truly protect him after he stood out in today’s disciple selection competition. It was essential to keep some cards up his sleeve. With a bottle of Bone Corrosion Liquid in his arms, Ye Chenfeng felt a bit more confident.

"Huff, huff, huff!"

The Great Elder of the Myriad Poison Sect, Yuan Fengyang, breathed hurriedly through his nose. He was too excited inside. He hadn’t expected that there would still be someone in the world who could concoct Bone-Dissolving Powder of such quality?

"Sect Leader, the Bone-Dissolving Powder this kid has concocted seems to match the effects that our Myriad Poison Sect could only achieve during our heyday centuries ago," Yuan Fengyang exclaimed, his face flushed with emotion.

Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi, the old men standing beside Kang Baiyin, were also taken aback. Now that Ye Chenfeng had demonstrated such a high talent for poison preparation, they felt it was even more imperative that he could not be kept around, absolutely not allowed to continue his growth.

"Sect Leader Kang, what are you planning to do now? You’d better think it through or you might bring about the downfall of the Myriad Poison Sect," Lu Douwen threatened unequivocally.

Yuan Fengyang at the side kept making meaningful glances at Kang Baiyin. The Bone-Dissolving Powder Ye Chenfeng had created was too tempting; they had to acquire the formula.

Of course, Kang Baiyin was aware of Yuan Fengyang’s thoughts, and he too was eager to obtain the Bone-Dissolving Powder formula from Ye Chenfeng. He signaled to Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi with his eyes. For now, he could only appease these two old men, resolving to get the formula from Ye Chenfeng before he would stop caring about Ye Chenfeng’s life or death.

Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi were shrewd, realizing after catching Kang Baiyin’s glance that promises had been made under the public eye. It was practically impossible to walk away with Ye Chenfeng just like that. They also believed that with the first-class power of the Yun Tian Sect pressing down on Kang Baiyin, he wouldn’t dare to play any tricks. Having already waited a while, Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi didn’t mind waiting a bit longer.

"What’s the matter? Is the Myriad Poison Sect going back on its word now?" Seeing the murmuring among the seats of honor, though Ye Chenfeng maintained a relaxed expression, he was anything but relaxed inside!

"Hahaha!" Suddenly, Kang Baiyin burst into laughter, "Young brother, how could I possibly go back on my word? When I say I’ll protect you, I’ll definitely keep you safe. Besides, young brother, you are simply a genius in poison concoction! From now on, young brother, you are officially a disciple of the Myriad Poison Sect."

Hearing Kang Baiyin’s firm promise, Ye Chenfeng thought dismissively, "Really think I’m an idiot? It’s obvious that the Myriad Poison Sect covets the Bone-Dissolving Powder formula in my hands. Since you’ve chosen to mess with me, I don’t mind playing the game."

Ye Chenfeng gently patted the bottle of Bone Corrosion Liquid in his chest pocket. For now, he still needed to use the Myriad Poison Sect, so it wasn’t the right time for a fallout. After all, Kang Baiyin had made a promise under public scrutiny, and he surely wouldn’t turn his back in front of the Myriad Poison Sect disciples, at least not for the time being, which meant that Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining were temporarily safe.

However, what was most important at the moment was for Ye Chenfeng to figure out a way to escape from here. Otherwise, he would sooner or later fall into the hands of the Myriad Poison Sect and the Tianshan Sect.
