Chapter 125: Roadblock, Sacred Soul's Four Great Talents!

  "40,000 gold coins? Are you crazy?! Do you know how big of a number that is?! 40,000 gold coins can buy several thousand taverns like this!”, Mo Feibai jumped onto the table, pointing at the waiter's nose and scolding loudly. Although his family had plenty of money, he wouldn't agree to pay 40,000 gold coins for just a few ordinary jars of wine, no matter how extravagant he was.

  "No, because you dirtied the carefully polished table in our humble shop, we will have to charge an additional 5,000 gold coins. To be exact, that makes a total of 45,000 gold coins!" The shopkeeper still maintained his harmless smile, no matter how much Mo Fei Bai insulted or provoked him, he absolutely did not get angry. In an instant, tens of thousands of gold coins were scolded out by Mo Fei Bai!

  "Xiao Bai, come down!", He Lian Nu grabbed Mo Fei Bai's collar and pulled him down, trying to keep his tone calm: "Shopkeeper, calculate how much gold coins we need to pay from the time we entered the shop until now!"

  "This... the wine and tea together are 30,000 gold coins, breaking the wine bowl is 10,000 gold coins, dirtying the table is 5,000 gold coins, insulting the shop owner is 10,000 gold coins, spitting and polluting the air in the tavern is 20,000 gold coins, making too much noise and disturbing other customers is 50,000 gold coins, staying for too long and hindering business is 30,000 gold coins... Alright, it seems you are new here, so I'll just charge you 100,000 gold coins!" The shopkeeper responded generously, and soon confirmed the amount that Hurenno and his group had to pay. From his expression, it seemed like 100,000 gold coins was even a discount.

  。

  "Are you trying to rob us? And what other customers do you have in this shop besides the three of us? I think you're tired of living!" Mo Fei Bai drew out the long knife from his waist and was about to pounce, but Lan You Ruo grabbed his sleeve. This place's prices are terrifying, if Mo Fei Bai were to make a move and knock over some more tables, chairs, pots, or pans, that already frightening compensation amount would probably multiply several times!

  He Lianuo smiled slightly and took out a few Soul Origin Sacred Fruits from the Heavenly Gift Space, placing them on the table: "Xiao Er, take a look at this fruit. At the very least, how much do you think it's worth?"

  "Soul Origin Sacred Fruit?! In the Soul Realm, a fruit like this would sell for at least 500 gold coins! The young shopkeeper didn't think much of it when Helianuo first pulled out the item, but after he got a clear look, he couldn't help but pounce on it. The Soul Origin Sacred Fruit was an extremely precious heavenly treasure that had an astonishing healing effect on all kinds of internal and external injuries. For a soul cultivator, having one of these fruits in times of crisis was almost like having half a life!"

  "Five hundred gold coins? Alright, I have a few hundred of these Soul Origin Fruits here, I'll use them to offset the debt. Will that do?" Although he knew the Soul Origin Fruit was worth far more than that, it's better to have one less thing to worry about. After all, Helianuo was new here and didn't want to appear too aggressive. This wasn't like the mortal world where any soul cultivator who walked out could easily defeat him!

  "Hundreds of them? You actually have hundreds of Soul Origin Sacred Fruits? If that's the case...", The shopkeeper hesitated, his attitude clearly loosening up a lot. Although his goal this time wasn't wealth, but hundreds of Soul Origin Sacred Fruits were indeed a very hard to resist temptation!

  "You're such a disappointment! You wavered just because those rookies tempted you slightly. It's really embarrassing for us seniors! Just as Xiao Er was hesitating about whether to accept Helianuo's condition, three young men in black clothes walked out from the back of the wine shop. The leader, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, slowly approached Helianuo, took the Soul Origin Fruit and handed it back, smiling: "Rookie, take it back! We three aren't as greedy for wealth as he is. If you want to pass our test, you'll need other skills!"

  He Lian returned the Soul Yuan Sacred Fruit with a sullen face, feeling secretly displeased. Just as he was about to settle the score with Xiao Er, three more Cheng Yaoguang suddenly appeared out of nowhere, making the situation even more complicated.

  "You also saw, this brother of mine is born greedy for wealth, I'm fond of wine like my life depends on it, and the other two brothers one is a womanizer and the other is a gambler, each having their own hobbies. We four are collectively known as the Four Great Talents of Sacred Soul Academy. As long as you can surpass us in our respective fields of expertise, we naturally won't make things difficult for you. Otherwise, I'm afraid the main gate of Sacred Soul Academy will forever be inaccessible to you!", The thick-browed man laughed heartily, clearly feeling very proud of this title of Four Great Talents.

  。

  "It seems to be the four major villains, huh……", He Lian Nuo felt a chill in his heart. These four guys were strange and unpredictable, yet their cultivation was completely impenetrable. If they forced their way through, it would likely be very difficult to succeed. However, since they dared to set up this scene, it meant that they must have had extreme confidence.

  "Give you half a stick of incense to think about it! You don't have to rush, we have plenty of time, but your time is running out, and you probably don't even know that if you can't register at the inner courtyard within three hours after getting the jade plate, your results will be invalid! Calculating now, more than an hour has passed? You'd better hurry up!", The thick-eyebrowed man casually picked up a jar of wine, opened it with a loud pop, and started gulping it down.

  "What to do? I'm still good at drinking, but as for gambling, I'm not good at it. I don't know how that lecherous one is going to compare, if the method suits my taste, then I can try it out...". Mo Fei pulled the other two aside and said his thoughts in a serious tone, but his expression clearly showed a eager-to-try feeling, wasn't wine and lust precisely the two things he was most obsessed with?

  "No choice, I'll just have to grit my teeth and try my luck at gambling then. Bring me some white wine, Xiao Bai. And as for that lecherous one...", He Lianuo looked over at Lan You Ruo with ill intentions, the latter's face suddenly turning bright red.

  "Don't worry, I won't let you go up against that lecherous scoundrel, that's like a sheep entering the tiger's den! Anyway, let's first win these two games and then talk about it later. If all else fails, we'll just use brute force to get through, although their strength is unfathomable, but we're not pushovers either!", He Lianuo swung his left arm with great effort, having finally made it this far, he didn't want to be blocked by a few troublesome guys!

  "How about it, has the deal been made? Who's first?" The thick-eyebrowed man had already finished a whole jar of wine, he casually threw the empty jar to one side and picked up a new one.

  "I'm here, I want to have a drinking contest with you! How about we make the rules and you can decide!", Mo Fei Bai walked up to the thick-eyebrowed man in big strides, also pulling over a large wine jar. With a loud "bang", he opened the seal of the wine and sat down casually across from him.

  "Alright! Marvelous! The courage of this little bird is still worth encouraging, so here's the deal: bring twenty jars of wine! We won't compete to see who can drink the most, but rather who can drink the fastest. Ten jars per person, whoever finishes first wins!" The thick-eyebrowed man shouted loudly, clearly getting excited.

  Mo Fei Bai nodded silently, secretly circulating his soul power throughout his body. To be honest, ten jars of wine were nothing to him, who had grown up soaking in a wine vat since childhood, but this time the competition was not about quantity, but speed. In that case, Mo Fei Bai, who had a relatively slender build, was at a disadvantage.

  Soon, twenty large wine jars were placed on the table between the thick-browed man and Mo Fei Bai. Each jar was opened, and the strong aroma of wine wafted through the tavern, making people feel slightly drunk even before drinking. He Lian Nu and Lan You Ruo stood to one side, watching Mo Fei Bai with bated breath. To them, Mo Fei Bai's frail body really didn't seem capable of holding ten jars of wine. They couldn't imagine how Mo Fei Bai could win this competition.

  。

  "Are you ready? Then, now... start!" The thick-eyebrowed man shouted loudly and suddenly picked up the wine jar in front of him, tilting his head back to drink it all at once. Mo Fei Bai's movements were half a beat slower, when the thick-eyebrowed man picked up the second jar of wine, he still hadn't finished drinking half of the first one!

  "Haha, the boss has won for sure! No one has ever beaten the boss in drinking before!", the man who was pretending to be a shop assistant excitedly shouted. Indeed, judging from the current situation, it's really too difficult for Mo Fei Bai to catch up with Hanzi's progress!

  "It seems that I have no choice but to use that move! ", Just as the thick-eyebrowed man had already picked up the sixth barrel of wine, Mo Fei Bai, who had just drunk down the third barrel, gritted his teeth and suddenly condensed all his soul power to the edge of his mouth!

  "A gust of wind! ", Mo Fei Bai shouted, opening his mouth wide. Seven small tornadoes instantly formed from the corners of his mouth, flashing like lightning into each of the seven wine jars. Quickly, the seven columns of wine flowed out rapidly under the support of the whirlwind and flew towards Mo Fei Bai's mouth!

  "This kid, actually using soul power to drink! How hateful, I don't have a similar soul technique to use! ", seeing Mo Fei Bai's astonishing drinking method, the thick-browed man was shocked in his heart, and the speed of drinking also accelerated unknowingly, but he was still drinking one mouthful at a time, while Mo Fei Bai opposite him was drinking seven jars of wine together, several times faster than him!

  "Faster! Faster!", the thick-eyebrowed man roared in his heart, and the speed of drinking increased significantly. Mo Fei Bai's unique way of drinking had put too much pressure on him, he just wanted to desperately speed up and strive for a leading advantage.

  "Alright, the last one! ", The thick-eyebrowed man was overjoyed in his heart and excitedly hugged the tenth jar of wine!

  "It's over, you've lost!", a vague voice suddenly rang out. The thick-browed man turned his head to look, and saw Mo Fei's eyes dazedly shaking back and forth. At his feet, ten empty wine jars were scattered about in disarray!

  "I, actually lost?!", the thick-eyebrowed man stared blankly at the last jar of wine in his arms, seemingly unable to believe his own eyes. From young to old, he had never let anyone get the better of him when it came to drinking, yet today he had unexpectedly lost to a little devil. Although there was an element of luck and cunning on the part of his opponent, whatever the case, the result was already set in stone!
