146 Secret Card (2/2)

Finally, when the game reached two-thirds of the time limit, Zhao Jiangyuan redeemed level six card. Towards this, Wang Lu just gave him the winner’s smile, yet his hand actually pointed to the side. Zhao Jiangyuan puzzledly turned his head, and then his eyes sprang wide!

Nobody knew when did it happen, but right now, Liu Li’s nutrition points had actually risen and currently neck and neck with Zhao Jiangyuan; moreover, her speed was still accelerating! Before this, all of their attention was on Wang Lu; they thought that they could win just by overtaking him. However, unexpectedly, Spirit Sword Sect’s real trump card was someone else.

For a time, all the five people of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect were shocked. They saw how Liu Li cleaned up her food without even lifting her head. Her action was methodical, yet still ladylike, nevertheless she was quite quick. Well, she actually didn’t chew her food, just like Zhao Jiangyuan and the others who directly swallow their food. It was just that she wasn’t as bold and unrestrained, and she didn’t even dislocate her jaw… She just has her own way to eat. The pair of silver chopsticks danced in the air as her hand moved up and down. First, she gently packed the big chunk of the food neatly into ten neat blocks, and then, like the whale sucking the water, she opened her small mouth and swallowed those blocks into her belly. Compared to Zhao Jiangyuan and his teammates, she wasn’t the least bit slower. Moreover, unlike the Ten Thousand Arts Sect people, she simply never stopped eating—she never needed for the food to be completely digested. She was like a bottomless pit!

At this time, the competition has entered the last period. Most of the dishes on the table were of level three and above, therefore, they were not that easy to digest. If it were ordinary people, a bite would cause their nose to bleed. Even if the contestants were the disciples from the Five Uniques, after eating a dozen of them, they would be under enormous pressure. With a special method to assist their digestion, the Ten Thousand Arts Sect disciples had a much better situation than that of the Spirit Sword Sect disciples… At least, an elite inner court disciple like Yue Yun couldn’t eat more than one dish without resting first. However, although Liu Li’s eating speed was not fast, she never stopped even for a second. As the level of the card gradually improved, her relative speed became faster and faster!

Wang Lu inwardly sniggered, thinking that this was clearly the advantage of the clear and pure physique of the Brilliant Sword Heart; this crystal clear physique was exactly the thing that she relied on when she rapidly dispatched those Xudan Stage cultivators with their super strong explosive force! On the ability to convert energy from digesting the food, perhaps only a certain Fenrir, that stupid dog, could be her match; however, not everyone has the ability to write the food diary for the whole year of experiential learning down the mountain.

”Okay then, your task now is to overcome our lovely Senior Sister Liu Li. I’m already full, so I won’t accompany you to play anymore.”

With that, Wang Lu directly stood up and gave up the competition!

The people of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect were shocked again! Especially Zhao Jiangyuan whose grief and indignation went through the roof: ”Damn you! How could you quit like that!? You don’t even have a little bit of spirit of competition, where is your earlier pompous and arrogant act? We have been trying our best to catch up with the card level, yet now you directly throw your hands up and give up the game!?”

Actually, Wang Lu felt somewhat regretful with his action. As a professional adventurer, he naturally has the professional adventurer’s ethics. However, he simply couldn’t eat anymore. Moreover, he thought… ”Do you think eating this much is easy? You, this group of Foundation Establishment can eat as much as you like because of your enhanced digestion. But I, as the ‘pretty-daughter-from-a-humble-family’ Qi Cultivating stage have been accompanying you guys to play for so long that my stomach will soon burst open!”

However, he didn’t need to explain this reason; if that could make the other side grieved and became indignant and thus affected their eating, nothing could be better. Actually, he understood that Liu Li’s prowess was in fact not that much better than those chowhound of Ten Thousand Arts Sect; after many calculations from him and many shady moves, in the end, he could only make their chance of winning to be a little over fifty percent.

After this, whether Senior Sister Liu Li could make a big kill or whether the Ten Thousand Arts Sect people could have what card, Wang Lu didn’t want to bother anymore.

After eating so much, he had to let himself relax a bit...

——

A while later, after feeling refreshed, Wang Lu returned to the competition table and found out that his timing was quite accurate; in a couple of minutes, the competition would end. As for the situation on the table… most of the contestants have already given up on the competition and sat on their seat gasping for breath. Even Zhan Ziye could only helpless shook his head. His nutrition points matching method was astonishing, and his calculation was mind blowing; with a limited amount of points, he could double the effect. However, in the face of an opponent that had several times eating capacity than him, Zhan Ziye could only call ‘I quit’. As for his teammates who had a mediocre eating capacity and comparatively not better than him, they felt an even more rolling ache in their belly, yet they actually couldn’t freely leave the table as easily as Wang Lu; it was truly an embarrassing situation for them.

This left two people as the main characters in this competition, Liu Li, and Zhao Jiangyuan. Senior Sister Liu Li, with her bottomless pit of a stomach, still went on with her methodical eating; a single bowl of high-calorie dish was finished by her in just two or three chews, without a change in her expression at all. Moreover, she also didn’t care about points and nutrition points. In fact, in the entire competition, she was the only contestant who really enjoyed the food.

On the other side, Zhao Jiangyuan’s face had begun to turn purple from red; it seemed like at any time, he could suddenly burst open and die. His mouth, throat, and belly were already stuffed with food, and his body seemed to have swollen into a sphere! It was clear that in the time Wang Lu went out to relax, he had desperately eaten as much as he could, and the result of this all-out effort was that his nutrition points still have an edge compared to the opponent, although it was just an insignificant edge.

Now that the competition was about to end, as long as he swallowed down this last chunk of food in his mouth, based on Liu Li’s eating speed, he was almost certain that he would be the winner, however… to swallow this last chunk of food was easier said than done. However, if he didn’t swallow, it was almost certain that Liu Li would have the final victory!

The several Elders of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect looked worried because unlike Liu Li’s natural eating capacity, Zhao Jiangyuan’s eating capacity was acquired and thus has its limit. And currently, it was beyond limit. His desperate effort to eat actually bore a great risk for him. However, if they told him to give up at this time, his confidence would suffer a heavy blow, and this caused the Elders to hesitate.

They all secretly thought, ”Maybe he could really win this?”

It was such a strange stalemate scene on the competition table. Both sides held their breaths for fear they would affect the last two surviving contestants—okay, Liu Li would certainly not be affected by anything. It was Zhao Jiangyuan who could have a problem.

Seeing this scene, Wang Lu shook his head and sighed. ”Why bother?”

He then walked to the table, but toward Liu Li’s side, and then...

He held out his hands and gently untied the top button of the girl’s dress.

Immediately, the half part of her white and plump bosom bloomed out.

”Pfftt!”

The next moment, the person across the table bleed through his nose; even most of his accumulated food inside him shot up to the air!

The winner has been decided!
