Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 432 - 429: The Game Among Men! [Fourth Update]

"Is, this, reason, good, enough?"

Li Chen enunciated each word with forceful resonance.

What’s called bravado?

This is bravado!

Zhu Yuepo turned in circles on the spot and collapsed to the ground, dizzy and disoriented.

Just then, a dozen or so male students at his table all stood up and started crowding around Li Chen.

Many of them held bottles in their hands, clearly drunk and looking for a fight.

Seeing this scene, the two girls, Anjin and Zheng Ran, were scared out of their wits.

Sunx Tong, Shitou, and Cui Pu, seeing that the other side had over a dozen people and clearly outnumbered them, were also very frightened.

However, considering that there were beauties at their table, they couldn’t afford to appear too cowardly.

Ye Chuxue and Lan Huanxi, however, showed no change in their expressions. They knew what Li Chen was capable of. These dozen or so people were no different from ants in his eyes.

"How about it, you want to fight?" Li Chen asked with an easy smile and a cold question.

As he spoke, he applied slight force with two fingers and snapped a stainless steel soup spoon in half.

Seeing this, everyone present was taken aback.

You have to realize, this was a specially made stainless steel spoon, and he snapped it effortlessly.

"This is the entrance to the school. Fighting will get you a major demerit. If it gets serious, you could even be expelled!"

The lolita Zheng Ran timidly shouted, attempting to use school discipline to stop them.

Hearing her words, Zhu Yuepo’s companions hesitated.

They were all newcomers and had only just met Zhu Yuepo for half a day. They weren’t about to risk getting a demerit, or even expulsion, just to stick their necks out for him.

Of course, if a girl could stop them with just a few words, they’d feel like they were losing face too.

After a moment of hesitation, a dark-faced student pointed at the beaten-up Zheng Yuepo and said, "Classmate, I didn’t expect you to be a Martial Artist. Let’s consider that we’re all from the same school. You apologize to Zhu Yuepo, and we’ll call it even, what do you say?"

Hearing the other party relent, Sunx Tong, Zhou Ji, and the others urged Li Chen not to be prideful and to quickly apologize. They suggested making a big issue small, and a small issue nonexistent.

The two girls, Anjin and Zheng Ran, also encouraged Ye Chuxue to persuade Li Chen, telling her not to be so stubborn and risk getting into a real fight where he might suffer.

"Heh, under the heavens, the one who dares to receive an apology from Li Chen has not yet been born!"

Li Chen spoke with such domineering pride that it compelled a feeling of submission and reverence in others.

Seeing that the situation was at a standoff and neither party was willing to back down, the restaurant owner came over with two bottles of beer.

"Fellow students, the school security department is watching right across the street, so you can’t fight here!"

"Moreover, you’re all talented students from Jiangnan University, why resort to violence? How about this, if I may be so bold, let’s settle this with a drinking contest instead, shall we?"

He had been running this restaurant for nearly thirty years and was adept at handling situations like this.

Direct persuasion wouldn’t work on these hot-blooded young men. When dealing with these students, it was better to redirect than to block.

They simply wanted to save face and determine a winner, after all. There’s winning and losing in fighting, and the same goes for a drinking contest.

Besides, if it came down to a drinking contest, they’d have to spend money on drinks. This way, he could make some extra cash - why not?

Hearing the restaurant owner’s suggestion, the dark-faced man agreed right away.

"Fine, we’ll settle it with drinks. We men from the Northeast have never been afraid of anyone when it comes to drinking!"

After saying this, he looked at the beer in the owner’s hands and said, "Boss, beer won’t do. Get the liquor!"

The restaurant owner answered and scurried off to get the liquor.

The dark-faced man took the liquor, kept one bottle for himself, and handed the other to Li Chen.

"So, what do you say, brother, do you dare to compete?"

Li Chen couldn’t be bothered to get physical with them, and since the other side voluntarily suggested a drinking contest, he happily obliged.

Seeing Li Chen take the bottle of liquor, the dark-faced man gave a thumbs up and praised: "Good, that’s the spirit!"

"I’ll drink first as a gesture of respect!"

After speaking, he didn’t bother with a cup and directly blew into the bottle.

Seeing this scene, the onlooking rubberneckers couldn’t help but be somewhat dumbfounded.

They had seen heavy drinkers, but like the dark-faced man, treating white liquor as if it were plain water was indeed a first for them.

A bunch of flamboyantly dressed girls, seeing that there was a drinking contest, all gathered around.

The combination of beauties and alcohol sent male hormones soaring to the peak.

Their arrival added a touch of springtime charm to this man’s game.

The dark-faced man guzzled the bottle of white liquor with a gurgling sound. Holding up the empty bottle, he said to Li Chen: "I’ve finished mine, your turn now!"

Li Chen replied with a light smile, casually tossing the liquor bottle into the air.

The bottle spun in mid-air, and the white liquor flowed into Li Chen’s mouth like a babbling brook.

Seeing Li Chen’s cool and explosive manner of drinking, the onlooking girls went wild.

"Wow, handsome guy, the way you drink is ridiculously cool!"

"Handsome guy, keep it up, we’re all rooting for you!"

...

Most of these girls came from the School of Foreign Languages or the Music Academy; not only were they easy on the eyes, but their voices were also very pleasant and sweet. Their cheering directly pushed the drinking bout to a climax.

At that moment, Li Chen’s bottle was also empty.

He casually caught the bottle and waved it in front of the dark-faced man.

"I’ve finished mine too, shall we continue?"

Seeing this scene, the dark-faced man secretly admired him.

He was from Northeast Mohe, where the winter temperatures dipped below minus fifty degrees, and they drank strong white liquor to keep warm every year.

Even so, after a bottle of white liquor, his head started to feel slightly dizzy.

But looking back at Li Chen, with his clear eyes and composed expression, there wasn’t the slightest sign that he had drunk any alcohol.

Gritting his teeth, the dark-faced man said: "Of course we’ll continue. We Northeastern men have never been afraid of a drinking challenge. But continuing like this is boring. How about we try a special way of drinking?"

Li Chen raised his eyebrows, asking: "Oh? What kind of special way?"

The dark-faced man asked for two bottles of 78-proof pure fermented white liquor, poured into glass cups. But he didn’t fill them to the brim, just 2/3 full.

"In a moment, I’m going to light these two cups of white liquor on fire. When the burning liquor is at its fieriest, you have to down it in one gulp. Dare to try?"

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders, indicating no problem on his part.

Not to mention drinking flaming white liquor, even if it were swallowing fire, he wouldn’t flinch.

The dark-faced man didn’t expect such an agreeable response and felt a little irritated inside.

"Classmate, this game is very dangerous. If you haven’t tried it before, I advise you not to show off. It’s not worth it if you burn your throat!"

"Heh, you sure talk a lot!"

After speaking, Li Chen flicked his finger, and with a "buzz," a light blue flame ignited above the cups of liquor.

Immediately, he slapped the table hard, and the two balls of flaming white liquor leaped into the air, pouring into his mouth like volcanic magma.

Seeing this scene, the entire restaurant fell into deathly silence.

They had seen people drink white liquor, but like Li Chen, lighting it on fire before drinking was truly unprecedented.

Some of the more timid girls were so shocked they gaped, their faces filled with disbelief.

Li Chen, acting as if nothing had happened, pointed at the two empty cups in front of him with a slight smile and said: "Sorry, I drank your share too. Help yourself to whatever you like!"
