Novel Bin Chapter 188 - Disappointing Holy Water
Chapter 188: Disappointing Holy Water
In the middle of the hall.
Clevelan produced a mysterious box.
The box instantly attracted everyone’s attention. They guessed that it contained holy water.
Wang Zhixing’s group was also filled with anticipation.
Clevelan’s lips twitched. He didn’t keep them waiting.
There was a small green button on the box. After pressing it, the box immediately flew out of Clevelan’s wide palm and floated in front of him.
The box slowly opened, and blue light bloomed. In the center of the light were three glass tubes, each the size of an index finger.
There was liquid in the glass tubes.
The liquid was the holy water everyone dreamed of.
Clevelan gingerly picked up the three glass tubes.
The blue light disappeared, and the glass tubes lay peacefully in Clevelan’s palm.
Without any light, the holy water in the glass tubes looked very ordinary. It was not much different from water that could be seen everywhere. There was nothing magical about it.
This is holy water?
For a time, many people expressed their doubts.
While they were confused, Clevelan picked up one of the glass tubes and shook it in front of everyone.
“This is the holy water!” Cleveland said proudly.
Since he was backed by the Wyatt Family, no one dared to say anything even if they were suspicious.
Wang Zhixing’s group kept their gazes fixed on the glass tubes.
They believed that the liquid inside was holy water.
Since the holy water was isolated by the glass tube, they could not see anything with the Aura Examination Technique.
Only by opening the cap and letting out some aura could the technique work.
Cleveland said, “Shasum Giant Jaw, please collect your holy water.”
Shasum Giant Jaw ranked tenth.
According to the rules, they could obtain a drop of holy water.
They stepped out of the crowd, their hearts pounding as they approached Clevelan.
Clevelan said, “Are you going to consume it on the spot or save it first?”
After some discussion, the team decided to save it.
Then Clevelan asked the staff to give these people special equipment for preserving holy water.
Then, with everyone watching, Clevelan opened the glass tube.
A gust of cold air gushed out from the tube, and the air in the venue instantly became exceptionally fresh and cool.
Just a casual sip would make one feel refreshed.
It really is holy water!
At this moment, the vast majority of people became exceptionally excited.
But Wang Zhixing’s group frowned.
This is holy water???
They looked doubtful. They stared intently at the holy water inside the glass tube.
The holy water’s aura seemed awfully familiar.
“Dad, the aura from the holy water is similar to the Spirit Spring water in the sect?” Wang Jiajun whispered.
Wang Zhixing nodded slightly. “It is, but the Spirit Spring water in the sect is much more concentrated than this.”
“Professor Wang, I’ve checked it with the Aura Examination Technique many times just now. I’m very sure that holy water is the Spirit Spring water,” someone said solemnly.
Wang Zhixing faltered, then used the Aura Examination Technique to carefully observe the water.
He examined it over and over again. It was indeed the case.
Holy water was indeed Spirit Spring water.
After discovering this, all of his expectations for the holy water turned into disappointment.
Just as Wang Jiajun had said, the Spirit Spring in the sect was filled with water.
Moreover, the water in the Spirit Spring was much richer than the holy water in Clevelan’s hands.
The two could not be compared.
More importantly, what kind of place was the Spirit Spring? It was spring, used for bathing.
In the end, Wang Zhixing’s group each received ten drops of holy water.
They naturally looked down on such inferior water. After all, it couldn’t even be compared to bathing water. They wouldn’t even use it. It was only suitable for watering the plants.
If anyone knew what they were thinking, they would definitely be infuriated.
…
After giving out the holy water, Cleveland announced a matter.
The Martial Arts Conference’s elimination competition would be ending early.
No one was surprised.
They also knew very well why super consortiums like Clevelan would fork out money to organize the competition.
They were using the intense fight on the arenas to attract attention, thus obtaining a large amount of web traffic and finally achieving their goal of earning money.
Now that the experimental subjects in Yun Country had gone out of control, the entire world had descended into a state of panic. Not many people were still willing to watch the competition.
If not for Xia Country’s team holding on, it would have ended even earlier.
The organizers used the battle with the experimental subjects’ battle as a gimmick to hype things up again.
If the next few days were not as exciting as today, there would definitely be a great loss of spectators.
Without an audience, there was no money to be earned since large-scale competitions burned money every second. And these people wouldn’t settle for a loss in profits.
Therefore, it was expected that the competition would end early.
After all, there would be plenty of people who were qualified to attend the Martial Arts Conference.
Although Immortal Sect appeared halfway, there were not many changes.
Just like that, the teams on Storm Island returned to their respective preparation areas, packed their things, and left one after another.
Among these teams, Wang Zhixing’s group was the most reluctant.
Although they had obtained the qualifications to participate in the Martial Arts Conference, they had not given their everything.
They originally wanted to challenge teams with even higher rankings to strengthen their combat skills.
But this hope was shattered.
They had no choice but to leave.
…
It was the middle of December, half a month before the Martial Arts Conference.
At the same time, more than a month had passed since the experimental subjects incident.
Over the past month, the world had not been peaceful.
Because the experimental subjects had the ability to replicate themselves, their race had multiplied by countless times.
Some small countries were unable to resist the experimental subjects and were forced to leave their homes to seek refuge in large countries.
And such economic losses were borne by the Yun Country.
Yun Country was also in a terrible state. They had almost lost all their money in compensating the others.
If they continued to do so, the entire country would go bankrupt.
To that end, they sought help from the Western powers.
The Western powers initially wanted to ignore them because they were the ones who caused the trouble and thought they ought to pay for it.
The people from the Yun Country could no longer bear to listen.
Since the Western powers did not want to help them, they had no choice but to break the treaty and announce the existence of the monsters.
The Western countries panicked when they heard this.
It wasn’t the right time to announce that, so they could only promise Yun Country that they would definitely help them.
With the Western powers’ promise, the Yun Country naturally heaved a sigh of relief.
…
On the other side.
The Immortal Sect influence was still strong.
The battle on Storm Island had shocked the world.
More and more people imitated their attire.
That was because they believed that they could scare off the experimental subjects with the Immortal Sect’s clothing.
Some of them really encountered the experimental subjects.
And this solution really worked.
It was also because of this that the reputation of the Immortal Sect grew bigger and bigger, not losing to the replication rate of the experimental subjects.
The people could scare off the experimental subjects by wearing the Immortal Sect clothes, but this wasn’t because of luck or coincidence.
