Chapter 1495 1490: Burning Blade at 80 Degrees [First Update]
Chapter 1495 1490: Burning Blade at 80 Degrees [First Update]
"Hiss..."A sound of someone sucking in cold air came from Hall No. 3.
Burning Blade, a specialty liquor from Northeast China.
Its high potency is something not many can endure. If someone's drinking capacity is not good, even sipping a tiny bit might lead to intoxication.
Su Chen choosing Burning Blade with an alcohol content as high as eighty degrees for their drinking competition is practically playing with fire!
Sun Xiaohua, whom Fifth Lord He referred to as the God of Wine, had to reevaluate Su Chen.
Could it be that he really underestimated Su Chen?
Does Su Chen really have such a large drinking capacity?
"Do you dare to drink this?" Su Chen looked at Sun Xiaohua, the provocation in his eyes intriguing.
Sun Xiaohua took a glance at the somewhat gloomy Fifth Lord He behind him and suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.
Patting his belly, he looked at Su Chen and said, "Why wouldn't I dare? Not only Burning Blade, even if it's 'Water of Life,' so what? If I can't outdrink you today, I'll call you Dad next time we meet!"
"Don't."
"Hey, afraid?" Sun Xiaohua sneered.
"I'm not old enough to have a son like you."
"You!" Sun Xiaohua's face turned red immediately, but he knew his limits; today he was there to help Fifth Lord He with the drinking, not to cause trouble.
He snorted coldly, "If I can't drink you under the table today, I'll write my name backward!"
Burning Blade, this liquor is as fiery as its name suggests. Once the liquor enters your throat, it's like a burning knife scraping against you.
Your stomach feels like it's aflame, that's the power of high-proof liquor.
Burning Blade, with eighty degrees of alcohol, wasn't considered decent liquor in ancient times; generally, only laborers would drink it.
Instead, the truly wealthy would avoid such strong spirits.
Glorious Advanced Leisure Club quickly brought the Burning Blade Su Chen requested.
A whole eight large jars of Burning Blade, each only weighing five pounds.
In other words, these Burning Blades before them totaled forty pounds!
Forty pounds of Burning Blade, normally even forty people might not finish it.
"How shall we drink?"
"One jar each, drink until you can't anymore." Su Chen's expression remained unchanged.
"Alright, then I'll go first."
Sun Xiaohua had no interest in playing any tricks with Su Chen; all his life, he had never encountered someone who could compete with him in drinking.
"Gulp, gulp..." One jar containing five pounds, Sun Xiaohua swiftly drank it all in one go.
With five pounds down, Sun Xiaohua showed a slight blush, but his eyes remained clear, without any abnormality.
Confidently, he raised the empty jar and flipped it downwards, "Your turn!"
Su Chen remained silent, reached out, picked up a five-pound jar of Burning Blade, and poured it down his throat.
Su Chen drank at a steady pace, unlike Sun Xiaohua, without spilling even a drop.
Whereas Zhang Xiaohua's chest was already wet.
"First jar." After finishing the last drop, Su Chen also turned his empty jar upside down.
Sun Xiaohua squinted at Su Chen and started on the second jar, but his speed was noticeably slower than the first time.
Under the light, the little anomalies happening to Sun Xiaohua's body became apparent to everyone.
Fine droplets of 'sweat' appeared on Sun Xiaohua, mixed with strong fumes of alcohol.
"Gulp, gulp..." With ten pounds of Burning Blade in him, even Sun Xiaohua felt something.
He reached out, wiped the 'sweat' off himself with force, and flipped the empty jar, "Your turn!"
Ten pounds of liquor, especially eighty degrees Burning Blade, even Sun Xiaohua could feel the heat coursing through his belly. He could drink, but this liquor goes into the stomach, not disappearing into thin air.
Su Chen was about to reach for the second jar when Gongzi Ge two-stepped to Su Chen, stopping him, "No need to drink with him, you can't outdrink him."
"How do you know if I haven't tried yet?" Su Chen said casually.
"Did you see the sweat on him?"
"I did."
"That's the liquor he drank. His physique absorbs alcohol well and doesn't get drunk easily. The liquor can be expelled through sweating; he drinks twenty pounds as if it's ten pounds for you, maybe more!"
Gongzi Ge's degree of mastery over nightlife was extremely high, and precisely because of this, she had a deep understanding of alcohol, unsurpassed by others.
'Alcoholic Physique,' she had only heard of it before, and today she witnessed it firsthand.
She didn't expect her first encounter with the legendary 'drunkard' to be under such circumstances.
"So what?" Su Chen responded.
"Uh..." Gongzi Ge didn't know how to argue back for a moment. Indeed, so what? Why not compete because he can drink?
"Heh, are you planning to admit defeat? I've only just started, if you can't drink you might as well admit defeat and get out!" Sun Xiaohua sneered viciously, wiping the 'sweat' off of himself.
…
There were quite a few in the crowd who recognized Su Chen, but they didn't know about his ability to drink.
Among them were those who didn't get along with Su Chen. Ever since they saw Su Chen in Hall No. 3, they hid away, observing him from the shadows.
Seeing Su Chen joining the drinking competition, one clenched their fist, "Drink, drink yourself to death, you idiot!"
Others worried about Su Chen, "Can Mr. Su drink? What if we secretly swap his liquor later?"
But standing in the center, Su Chen hesitated not one bit, picking up the second jar again, another five pounds of Burning Blade.
This time Su Chen drank even quicker than the last!
"Your turn." Su Chen drank ten pounds of Burning Blade without a change in expression.
Sun Xiaohua didn't immediately pick up his third jar, instead looking at Su Chen, calculating just how much Su Chen could drink. Ten pounds of Burning Blade, even he felt it, he didn't think Su Chen would feel nothing, unless Su Chen wasn't drinking Burning Blade!
"I want to swap jars with you." Sun Xiaohua said.
"Sure." Su Chen didn't refuse, nodding directly to agree.
Su Chen's straightforward answer made Sun Xiaohua suspicious, why so easily agreed?
But he didn't linger too much on the thought, directly reaching out for the third jar.
Another five pounds of Burning Blade, but he took as much time as when he drank the first two combined.
Fifteen pounds of eighty-degree Burning Blade were downed like that.
This time Sun Xiaohua truly seemed to be sweating profusely, for a moment, the entire Hall No. 3 was filled with the stench of alcohol. A good third of the alcohol had volatilized through his 'Alcoholic Physique.'
