Chapter 307 306: How To Fight Like A True Poison Master
"How to fight like a true poison expert?"
Corey had a baffled look on his face when he heard old man poison's words.
"To ease your fears, the elixir I gave you to drink does not give you erectile dysfunction."
Old man poison said and Corey gazed at his little brother.
There was no way he could figure out if his master was lying to him at the moment.
His little brother wasn't just going to stand when he was not thinking of anything sexual.
Oh wait.
It did.
'Controlling it is more difficult than controlling a child.'
Corey's lips twitched.
"The elixir affects your nervous system and leads to impaired motor coordination and sensory disturbances. It disrupt the proper functioning of the brain regions responsible for coordination and balance."
"It's the reason why you find yourself on the floor whenever you try to run towards me."
"Your muscle coordination and sensory perception is fucked up. So, whenever you try to walk forward, you're actually moving to the sides then you lose your balance and fall pathetically."
Corey blinked.
It was that simple?
Why didn't he think of the possibility that he could have poisoned?
Wasn't his master a poison expert?
Why was he thinking of other possibilities?
"The elixir is a tier 5 elixir and it's actually meant to make you dizzy and confused."
Old man poison slightly furrowed his brows as he gazed into Corey's clear eyes while stroking his beards.
'I guess I still have to improve the poison.'
Old master poison thought, then he shrugged.
"Anyway, haven't you thought about something recently?"
Old master poison said, and Corey frowned.
"What?"
Corey questioned immediately, still feeling irritated and angry at his master despite knowing that his master did not make him impotent.
The impulse to punch his master's face still reigned in Corey's heart and he was doing his best not to commit that impulse.
For now.
"You're unnaturally angry. You're more angry than you would normally be."
Old master poison said, and Corey immediately retorted.
"That's because you knocked me out without explaining anything! Strapped me to a chair! Threatened to make me impotent! And-"
Corey paused as a light of realization flashed in his eyes.
Just as old man poison said, he was unnaturally angry.
His normal response would not be to shout and yell at his master after he told him about his possible altered emotions.
He would have kept quiet and pondered on his master's words.
In fact, ever since he appeared in the vicinity of his master's mansion. He had not been acting as his usual self.
He looked at old man poison who had a slight smile and Corey's eyes flickered.
Corey exhaled with his eyes closed and a strange sense of clarity surfaced in his mind.
"Please explain master."
Corey said with a tinge of solemnity and respect.
Old man poison smiled.
"You're now learning to be respectful to your master. That's also an improvement."
Old man poison chuckled while stroking his chin with a satisfied expression.
"There is a general rule that every poison expert must follow. That is if they value their lives."
Old man poison walked away from Corey.
He dropped the glass beaker on a bench, then he sat on a stool.
"Normally, the physique of us poison users is usually average at best. We usually can't fight in a hand to hand combat with swordsmen, spearmen and so on."
" We poison users would undoubtedly die if we engage in a frontal confrontation with a swordsman at the same tier."
"Unless a poison user can create poisons that have a higher tier than that of his or her opponent. A poison user would 80% of the time die before their poisons kill the opponent in a frontal confrontation."
Old master poison paused, then he took a ceramic bowl from the workbench close to him.
He placed his right hand in the ceramic bowl and when he brought out his hand, a fistful of a whitish powdery substance could be seen in his hand.
It resembled powder.
"Because of this, poison users must always engage in combat with a home-field advantage."
"The home of a poison user must be his or her safest place."
"This is my home."
Old man poison gestured to his surroundings.
"I have placed various sorts poisons in a 10 meter radius around my house. But…" Old man poison paused with a smile.
"The poisons are not meant to kill or harm an individual. It's meant to destabilize the emotions of an individual in a subtle way."
"I can set the poisons to make a person to feel more relaxed, irritated, angry, fearful and so on. Any emotion that would not make the person to think straight."
"If an intruder dares to enter my house. That is when my poisons would have the intent to kill and harm."
Old man poison said and Corey's eyes landed on the white powdery substance in his master's hands.
He could sense that the white powdery substance was a poison. But, he sensed no lethal danger from it.
"This poison is what I constantly spread in my home."
"It doesn't cause harm to an individual. But…"
Old man poison paused, then he brought out a small glass bottle which contained a black liquid from thin air.
"Once I release this liquid into the air. It would instantly evaporate into vapor and combine with the poison in the system of whoever enters my home."
"Alone, it's a tier 4 poison."
"But combined with the powdery substance, it becomes a tier 5 poison."
Corey sucked in a cold breath when he heard his master's words.
A tier 5 poison was a poison that could even affect Corey and he could even die from it.
He never knew his master's home was so damn dangerous.
If he had known, he would have thought twice before he decided to meet him.
Clap!
Old man poison clapped, bringing Corey out from his thoughts.
"Well, this can only be used in places like your home or locations where you've previously prepared the poisons."
"It can't be used in direct and frontal combat against somebody who is stronger than you."
"So my best advice when you're facing somebody who is stronger than you in a direct confrontation is to run."
"Run and set a lot of poisonous traps."
Old man poison stood, then he walked towards Corey who was sitting in a cross-legged position.
He crouched and looked straight into Corey's eyes.
"Never forget this my ungrateful student."
Corey's lips twitched.
"You can be weak, but your poison should never be weak."
"If your poison is strong enough. It can even kill gods, demons and immortals."
