Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Xinglanju’s Big Eater Competition actually follows the glorious tradition of Rongcheng.

During the famine era, large areas of soil were eroded by barrenness, and mankind faced a long-term food crisis. The few experts who can enjoy the food and drink will not die of hunger, but the remaining hundreds of millions of mortal beings in the five states need to eat. For this reason, the pioneers who settled the famine worked hard, and with the help of heaven, they cultivated a variety of high-yielding crops, extending the life of civilization.

In that era of scarcity, wasting food was undoubtedly a serious crime. However, as the overall situation of famine has been determined, civilization continues to multiply, and the products of the five states and hundreds of countries have become more abundant, hunger is no longer a problem that plagues mankind. As a result, the culture of cherishing food inherited from the famine era has also undergone brand-new changes.

The Big Eater who first became popular in Rongcheng is one of them.

Rongcheng people believe that the way to cherish food is not simply to save food, which makes people hungry all day long and barely survive. It’s about making the most of the food you eat. In addition, practitioners in the New Immortal Calendar era generally no longer practice breathing and breathing methods, but directly obtain true energy from various spiritual foods. If they can absorb more spiritual energy and transform true energy, they will naturally be able to provide better services. To civilization.

Under this logic, the big stomach king culture also came into being.

When Wang Luo followed Yu Xiaobo into Xinglan Residence, what he saw was the traditional Big Eater Competition that had gone through hundreds of years of history... and still had little change from the original one.

There were five dining tables set up on the playing field in the middle of the lobby. Five male and female students, who seemed to be of average stature, were feasting on the delicious food on the table. Their food specifications are highly uniform, and the weight, taste, and aura content are all controlled just right to ensure a fair competition.

One of the strong men ate very boldly. He directly picked up the braised pork rice that was put into small bowls on the table without using cutlery, poured it into his mouth, and swallowed it without chewing at all. He ate faster than the people around him. several times. I saw a few paper cranes serving food from the back kitchen. They were so busy that their wings were almost broken, but they could ensure that there was a constant supply of food on the table of the strong man.

Not long after, I heard a little girl serving as the referee blow her whistle and shouted in a clear voice: "The game is over! Let's announce the results of the players... Obviously, the champion of this group is Gu from Hongwu Hall. Brother! Within the time limit of 30 minutes, we ate a total of 83 bowls of Xinglanju’s signature braised pork rice! This is more than 30 bowls ahead of the second place! We also set a record for today. Congratulations to Brother Duan!”

The strong man stood up and cupped his hands around him, then when he saw Yu Xiaobo, he suddenly showed a warm expression.

"Master Yu, why are you here too? Haha, I was just bragging about my record, and now I meet the holder of the highest record in history. This makes me feel a bit like a clown."

Yu Xiaobo patted the strong man's arm hard: "Brother Gu, please don't be rude to me. I just brewed the Baimai Body from a small medicine jar, so I'm very good at eating it. I've been trained hard like you." The physical training is pure and superficial."

Senior Brother Gu added: "9 out of 10 people in Hongwu Hall would envy your Baimai Body in their dreams. You just don't care about body cultivation... Are these your friends?"

Yu Xiaobo glanced at the people around him and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm here to participate in the Big Eater Competition."

Senior Brother Gu's eyes suddenly became sharper. After looking at a few people, he laughed and said: "Are they all little guys who haven't condensed their elixirs yet, and they are here to join in the fun? Your Xinglan Residence didn't hold group competitions. During the foundation building period, Do you deserve the registration fee?”

Yu Xiaobo laughed again: "We are all friends, so of course I'm treating you. And Brother Gu, don't be biased against Foundation Establishment. There are many talented people who have magical powers no less than the Golden Pill during the Foundation Establishment period. for example……"

With that said, he actually passed Wang Luo and pointed the finger directly at Zhao Xiuwen!

"For example, Junior Brother Zhao over there was born in Nanxiang, but he cultivated the Ning Jade Body to a minor level during the Foundation Establishment Period. Now he is performing well in Chengyintang, and he will probably become our Junior Brother next year."

Senior Brother Gu glanced at Zhao Xiuwen and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What's the point of not being able to get the golden elixir? In Zhuji, it's still passable. The Jade Body is rare, but when it comes to Rongcheng Academy, it's just ordinary. , Even if you have some success in cultivation, what does it mean in front of the Hundred Meridians Body?"

Yu Xiaobo sighed: "But she has magical powers, and she can firmly capture the heart of the woman I like."

Senior Brother Gu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. Although he had no words, his attitude was clear at a glance.

At the same time, countless eyes were focused on him, and Zhao Xiuwen felt his head buzzing, as if it was going to explode on the spot... Fortunately, Zhou Lu held his hand in time and channeled the true energy, allowing him to stabilize his mind. .

At the same time, Wang Luo stood in front of him, blocking most of his eyes.

"When will the next round of competition start?" Wang Luo said with a smile. His voice was not loud, but it instantly broke the atmosphere of the scene and reached everyone's ears.

"I saw that the game records during the celebrations were listed on the wall. The top of the list was Yu Xiaobo, the champion on the first day, with 91 bowls... I can't wait to break such a shabby record."

As soon as these words came out, the calmness on Yu Xiaobo's face suddenly collapsed.

He originally wanted to treat Wang Luo the same way as others: ignore him and focus on Zhao Xiuwen. According to Yu Xiaobo's observation, Zhao Xiuwen is just a common poor student in Nanxiang. For the young master of the Yu family, he is really "easy to come by". But this time, no matter how much Wang Luo interrupted, he would ignore it. Until Zhao Xiuwen was embarrassed, ashamed, or even lost his composure because of it, he would have completely regained the game.

However, Wang Luo still distracted his concentration with a casual remark.

"I saw the competition details next to it, and anyone who can refresh the competition record can receive a permanent free coupon. The marketing idea is good, but the top record used as a benchmark is a bit shabby."

The two shabby arguments finally broke Yu Xiaobo's defense a little. Fortunately, he didn't need to speak, and there were people next to him to fight for him.

The referee girl with a spoon hanging on her chest jumped in front of Wang Luo in three or two steps and corrected him seriously: "My friend, have you not learned about this competition properly? Some words will make you laugh. This competition uses Xinglanju's signature braised pork rice, the signature! The meat is selected from the local [Yuanyuan Pig], and each piece of meat contains superior spiritual power; the rice is [Changyue Mountain] Spring Rice, each grain is like a pearl, soft and absorbent..."

The girl didn't finish reading the advertising words before she was interrupted by Wang Luo with a smile: "In summary It's just hard to digest. If you have a weak constitution, your blood and qi will surge after eating a few bowls. If you force yourself to eat more, your true essence may harden and pierce your intestines. In severe cases, it will directly affect the circulation of true essence, causing it to flow back to the foundation of the Tao. If you don't rescue it in time, it may fester little by little from the Dantian. Those who combine blood and true essence will have a worse fate, and their flesh and blood will turn into mud from the lower abdomen..."

Accompanied by Wang Luo's thoughtful explanation, the originally warm atmosphere in the lobby of Xinglanju suddenly cooled down as if it was whistled by the cold wind.

Even the diners who did not participate in the competition and just came to eat discounted kung fu dishes were a little bit unable to swallow.

And the referee girl didn't dare to show off anymore, and said quickly: "Okay, thank you for your careful explanation. Let's sign this pre-match contract and confirm that the risks during the competition are borne by ourselves. When all the participants in this round are gathered, we will start the competition immediately!"
