Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1414

"What exactly is this? How did you do it?" Halge looked at Jasmine, aghast.

She ignored his question and manipulated her positive energy to lash out the vital vines like a whip. Halge was sent flying through the air in an instant. Her mighty energy threw him out of the fighting ring and into the lake.

The audience was dumbstruck. They finally came to their senses when the referee once again announced that Jasmine had won the battle. In an instant, they began talking about her unexpected victory. Meanwhile, the staff members were busy rescuing Halge from the middle of the lake. He was completely drenched when he was out of the water, and he looked miserable. He glared at the fighting ring with resentment in his eyes.

Lillian hurriedly went up to help him with a concerned look on her face.

On the other hand, Tom did not budge and stood silently in his place.

The competition went on as if nothing had happened. Hertzel won his fight and successfully entered the third round of the competition.

The participants were already familiar with the procedure, and they quickly drew their lots for the third round. This time, Jasmine was the first to compete.

Fade raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Hertzel holding the number two stick and that he was Jasmine's opponent. A look of worry flashed across his face. Hertzel was the most powerful martial artist among Tom's group of friends.

At the same time, Lillian and Halge noticed Hertzel's draw too, and their faces lit up with excitement.

"Finally, you are up against that vixen this time, Hertzel. You must take revenge for Halge!"

"Jasmine is an ungrateful little twat. You must teach her a lesson, Hertzel."

Hertzel's face was calm. "My goal is to advance to the next round. I will not let anybody stand in my way."

The third round of the competition began soon after. Jasmine stepped onto the arena, followed by Hertzel.

He kept a serious expression as he stood face-to-face with her. He cut to the chase and warned her coldly. "You'd better not get in my way of advancing to the next round. Or else, don't blame me for not being nice."

She replied faintly, "Same to you." "Oh really? If that's the case, then you are going to regret it," he hollered and immediately began to launch an attack at her.

In the blink of an eye, he pounced at Jasmine like a fierce, starving tiger. His movements were swift and agile.

She did not react to his attack. Instead, she stood there, motionless. When he was only a few steps away from her, she raised her hand elegantly to defend herself.

"It's too late to react now!" His lips curled into a cruel smile as he performed the Heart- digging Strike and aimed it towards her chest, attempting to bring her down without the slightest hesitation.

The odds seemed to be in Hertzel's favor, and everyone began to feel anxious for her.

Just then, Fade stared at them from below the fighting ring and yelled, "It's close enough!"

She suddenly jerked her hand upwards as she heard his signal. The energy in the arena changed in an instant.

Countless streams of vital vines slithered like snakes all around the arena floor. They grew into giant trees and wrapped around Hertzel swiftly.

As he struggled to resist the giant trees' grip, she leapt up towards him. Her movements were light and effortless like a fairy from the woods. She threw multiple hard punches at him, one after another, and kicked his body violently.

The horrifying sound of bones cracking filled the entire arena. Hertzel spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face blanched.

His entire body trembled in exertion as a wave of positive energy spread out around him and shattered the vital vines trapping him. His eyes were filled with rage as he raised his hands to attack her.

She stood in front of him and said calmly, "I suggest that you'd better not try to fight back. Otherwise, you'll see your entire life of martial arts cultivation destroyed."

"What did you say? I..." Hertzel's face sank, and he was ready to fight. However, as soon as he took a step forward, his face changed instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood. "You... You poisoned me?" He looked up at her, and his gaze was a mix of anger and disbelief.

She nodded and said, "Yes. I have injected the poison into your body via the vital vines. You might be able to kill me if you were to channel your positive energy forcefully, but in the end, your meridians will explode and you'll die." "You..." Hertzel was in shock. He gritted his teeth and glared at her.

Jasmine's words caused a commotion in the crowd. Among them, Lillian shouted on top of her lungs, "Referee, she poisoned him. This is a violation of the rules, and she should be disqualified!"

All participants were prohibited from bringing poisons into the Martial Arts Convention as a safety precaution. Although this might hinder some poison experts to perform their skill, it served as an additional protection for most participants.

The referees began to discuss amongst themselves after hearing Lillian's protest. One of them turned his head towards Jasmine and asked, "Miss Zhuo, did you violate the rules by sneaking in poison?"

She shook her head. "I didn't."

Before Hertzel could argue his stance, Lillian retorted, "Only a dead man would believe your words. How could you defeat Hertzel if you didn't use poison? Besides, you just admitted that you used poison on him!"

She darted a look at Lillian before she explained, "I indeed used poison on him, but it doesn't mean that I'm carrying poison with me. The poison I used in the battle was a simulation. It was a combination of my cultivation technique and my positive energy. It's not real poison."

Everyone on the scene was astonished by her claim..

"Using positive energy to simulate poison! Is... Is this possible?"

"Is there even such a thing?"

"Something smells fishy. I bet this is just her excuse!"

Jasmine defended herself, shouting towards the crowd, "If you don't believe me, you may come forward and take a look."

A few of the judges stepped forward immediately and performed a full-body inspection on both Jasmine and Hertzel.

The judges looked at each other in amazement and turned around to announce to the crowd, "After a detailed inspection, we found that Ms. Zhuo did not violate the rules. Hence, the competition continues!" She turned to look Hertzel in the eye. "You have ten seconds left before the poison takes effect. Are you willing to admit defeat?"

"You..." He gritted his teeth and hissed unwillingly. Finally, he had no choice but to nod and say, "I

surrender!"

As soon as he uttered those two words, she leaned forward and tapped his forehead lightly with a finger, transferring a green wave of positive energy into his body. Then, with a gentle leap, she returned to Fade's side.

"Mr. Chen, your method is indeed effective!" She looked at him as she grinned from ear to ear.
