 Looking at the poison on the table, Dustin hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Lord Han thinks so highly of me, I naturally cannot fail to show my appreciation."

After that, he picked up the poison on the table, opened the bottle cap, and drank it all in one gulp, leaving not a drop behind.

In order to let Han Tian see more clearly, after drinking it, Dustin also turned the bottle mouth upside down, and the poison inside was drunk clean.

His body is immune to all poisons, so he naturally doesn't care about this little poison.

"Hahaha... Brother Dustin is really generous!"

Seeing this scene, Han Tian couldn't help laughing.

Drinking the poison proves that you are sincere in joining the Pantheon, and only in this way can you gain our trust.

Otherwise, no matter how much you say, it is just empty talk.

Although the Pantheon cherishes talents, what it values ​​most is loyalty.

Only loyal people will be trained with emphasis.

And to show loyalty, the best way is to hand over your life to the Pantheon, which no one can avoid.

Including himself, once they are about to go on a mission, they will take poison in advance to show their loyalty.

"Lord Han, I have sincerity, I wonder what I need to do next?" Dustin spoke again.

Although he could guess that the Pantheon had some plans, he was not completely sure what they were.

The most important thing is that he needs to know the detailed plan of the Pantheon now so that he can be prepared.

Otherwise, there is no point in him playing such a drama today.

"You don't have to do anything now, just improve your strength and prepare for tomorrow's game."

Han Tian smiled and said: "With your talent, plus the strengthening potion of our Pantheon, I believe you have a great chance of winning the championship. As long as you defeat many masters and win the championship, I will naturally tell you the detailed plan. By then, you will understand how great our Pantheon is!"

"Lord Han, don't you still believe me?" Dustin frowned slightly, quite displeased.

"Brother Dustin, don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't trust you, but even I don't know the specific action plan."

Han Tian said helplessly: "This action is personally commanded by Lord God King. Only before the action, Lord God King will arrange the specific matters. This is done to prevent leaks on one hand; on the other hand, it is also a plan to adapt to the situation."

"Oh? Do you need to be so mysterious? Even you, the Lord God, don't know?" Dustin was a little surprised.

"The rules have always been like this. I hope you can understand, Brother Dustin." Han Tian smiled bitterly.

Although it sounds a bit outrageous, this is the fact.

Ordinary members are a little more relaxed. Those who have positions or are trained as key personnel are guarded very strictly.

Resources are sufficient and generous, but freedom is restricted.

"Okay, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since the rules of the Temple of the Gods are like this, I won't ask too much. If you need anything, Lord Han can come to me at any time."

Dustin did not continue to ask questions, otherwise it would only arouse suspicion.

"Okay, then I'll take my leave first. I look forward to your wonderful performance tomorrow."

Han Tian stood up, clasped his fists, and then left quickly.

There were many people in the restaurant, and the longer one stayed, the more likely it would attract attention. Before the plan was completed, one had to be careful.

After confirming that Han Tian had left, Dustin put away two tubes of strengthening potions, then jumped out of the back window and disappeared without a trace.

Ten minutes later.

Dustin's figure quietly appeared in a secluded courtyard.

The courtyard was not large, but the decoration was elegant, which showed that the owner had extraordinary taste.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

Dustin walked to the bedroom and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened, revealing the face of a pretty woman.

Although the woman was not stunning, she was very attractive. The most important thing was her eyes, which seemed to have stars flashing in them, and looked particularly moving.

The woman was Margaret in disguise!

"You’re here? Please come in." Margaret smiled and led him in with one hand.

Only a handful of people knew that she lived here. As soon as Dustin entered the courtyard, she sensed a familiar atmosphere, so she was not surprised.

Dustin walked in and sat down on the sofa.

"What would you like to drink?" Margaret asked casually.

"Water." Dustin was not polite.

"Okay." Margaret took a bottle of water and put it in front of Dustin, then asked: "Why are you visiting so late at night? Is there something important?"

"Guess." Dustin opened the water and took a sip, deliberately keeping it a secret.

"Guess?" Margaret smiled: "Is it probably related to the Temple of the Gods? Did they send someone to win you over?"

"Oh? How do you know?" Dustin raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.

He hadn't said anything yet, but the person in front of him guessed it all. She really had a delicate mind.

"You performed so amazingly in the ring today. If it were me, I would also try hard to win you over. It's not surprising." Margaret smiled.

"You are really smart. Then guess what's in this box?"

Dustin said, and placed the potion box that Han Tian had given him on the table.

Margaret looked at it carefully and began to analyze: "If the Pantheon wants to win you over, it will definitely be useless to give you some ordinary gold and silver jewelry. Given their style of doing things, at this critical moment, the things they give you should be treasures that can directly enhance your strength and let you win the championship.

Moreover, this kind of treasure is unique to their Pantheon and cannot be obtained by outsiders.

If I guess correctly, the box should contain a strengthening potion, right?"

Dustin was stunned when she said this.

No way? You can guess this?

Did this woman took a peek? - Ton

As per author's narration, Dustin is immune to all poison. Next I want to see how he will spoil the plan of pantheon of God, and earn higher respect among elders of Dragonmarsh.

Seeking Medicine for a Father

When Li Weimin’s decree was issued, reactions across the factions varied. At that moment, Li Wenxing was in his study, weighing the pros and cons of the recent trip to Southern Frontier. Although he hadn’t stood out much, compared to Li Guanglong and Li Juntang, he was still the more capable one. But this minor advantage clearly wasn’t enough to change the overall outcome. Just then, Qian Jin rushed in and reported, “Your Highness! A message from the palace --- His Majesty’s condition has worsened, and he has only a short time left. He has issued a special decree: any royal family member who can journey to Penglai Island and retrieve the elixir will become the future crown prince!” “Future crown prince?” Hearing this, Li Wenxing’s spirits lifted immediately. But soon after, he frowned. He had, of course, heard of Penglai Island --- but only in legends. Whether it truly existed in the East Sea, and whether it held any elixir that could extend life, remained unknown. ...

Frozen Wasteland

The ice sculptures shimmered with a cold light in the biting wind, the soldiers’ twisted faces sealed inside the crystalized frost, as if still crying out from the agony of being frozen alive. Li Guanglong stared at those figures, his Adam’s apple rolling a few times as he forced down the tremor in his chest. He raised a hand to rub his still-stiff arm. The spot that had been swept by the white mist earlier was still faintly bruised with purplish-blue, the chill seeming to seep deep into his very bones. “Your Highness, that spirit deer carries a poisonous cold beyond imagination.” Wan Zhong leaned on his blade as he walked over, the wound on his lone arm having split open again from the cold. Blood seeped through the bandages, dripping scarlet dots onto the snow. He gazed toward where the deer had vanished, his eyes full of dread. “We’d best hold our camp steady for now, and not recklessly provoke the creatures of this island again.” Li Guanglong nodded silently. His earlier ...

The Swarm of Man-Eating Fish

Dustin landed lightly back on the shattered deck, the golden glow on his longsword gradually fading. Across the sea’s surface, dark green blood floated in thick patches, slowly dispersing in the rain. Far in the distance, the typhoon had vanished without warning. A gap opened in the clouds, allowing sunlight to break through at last, casting warm rays onto the ravaged Wavebreaker . Margaret steadied herself against the swaying rail, gazing out at the now-calm sea, a long sigh of relief escaping her lips. That octopus demon just now had the power of an Ultimate Grandmaster --- its enormous body and terrifying regenerative abilities made it nearly invincible. Even most Ultimate Grandmasters wouldn’t stand a chance against such a monster. Thankfully, they had Dustin. If he hadn't been there, who knows how many lives would have been lost? At last, the sea had calmed, and the storm was receding. The Wavebreaker floated gently atop the waves. The deck was in ruins, littered ...
