Chapter 1223 - 1222: Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger
"I’ve heard about this fire liquor before. A friend once drank it in a challenge, ended up with stomach bleeding, and would’ve died if the ambulance hadn’t come in time!"
"This fire liquor is simply terrifying. I’m so scared, I can’t even watch!"
"Please... please stop the challenge. I’m scared!"
Some girls around even covered their eyes out of fear!
However, the more fearful the crowd became, the more excited Li Mingliang’s face looked!
To him, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity to show off!
Li Mingliang challenged Lin Fan, saying, "Kid, so what? Do you dare to compete?"
"Whatever!"
Lin Fan shrugged, appearing calm and composed!
But Feng Chengcheng, listening to the surrounding discussions, showed a worrying expression on her lovely face, reached out and tugged Lin Fan’s sleeve, saying, "How about... we don’t do it..."
However, Lin Fan shook his head at her, saying, "This is a matter concerning a man’s dignity. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!"
Having said that, Lin Fan turned to Li Mingliang and said, "How do you want to compete?"
"Simple. When I say start, we’ll drink together and see who drinks faster!" Li Mingliang said.
"Alright, we’ll follow your rules!" Lin Fan replied!
"Kid, you can still regret it now; otherwise... hehe!" Li Mingliang sneered twice!
"I haven’t tried this kind of drink challenge before. Come on, I hope it’s a bit thrilling!" Lin Fan pretended to be a newbie, looking curiously at the burning cup of liquor!
"Humph! Since you’re stubborn, don’t blame me if anything goes wrong later!"
Li Mingliang snorted arrogantly, staring at the ten burning cups of liquor, looking very serious!
"Start!"
Suddenly, Li Mingliang’s voice rang out!
Since he was the one to shout start, he was prepared, grabbing a cup and quickly pouring it into his mouth before the sound had fully faded!
The burning liquor down the throat is incredibly uncomfortable, like swallowing blades, causing great harm to the throat, which is very fragile. This kind of thrill can seriously make someone lose their voice!
As Li Mingliang poured down a cup of burning liquor, his face twisted, looking extremely pained!
Meanwhile, Lin Fan remained relaxed, not rushing, holding a cup of burning liquor, amusingly playing with it, pretending to look worried!
Seeing Lin Fan’s expression, Li Mingliang thought Lin Fan was scared, sneering, "Kid, are you scared?"
"Scared? Sorry! That word has never appeared in my dictionary!" Lin Fan said softly!
"Humph! Then drink!" Li Mingliang urged!
Lin Fan hesitated, picked up the cup, and sent it to his mouth, pretending to make a very uncomfortable swallowing face!
In reality, Lin Fan had Powerful Qi protecting him, and as the burning liquor passed through his throat, he felt nothing, thanks to the protection. With Powerful Qi suppressing it in the stomach, the flame naturally extinguished, making it just like drinking ordinary liquor!
As Li Mingliang watched Lin Fan’s painful expression, he sneered, imagining Lin Fan being knocked down by him!
Afterward, Li Mingliang quickly picked up another cup and continued drinking!
One cup, two cups, three cups...
By the fourth cup, Li Mingliang was starting to look pale, as the fire liquor was indeed too potent!
But when Li Mingliang looked at Lin Fan again, Lin Fan had already drunk two cups, still pretending to make a hard-to-swallow face!
"Kid, I want to see how many cups you can handle!"
Li Mingliang sneered, picked up the fifth cup, drank quickly, and then picked up the sixth cup!
When Li Mingliang reached the sixth cup, the fierce liquor had started to make his throat hurt, causing him to cough repeatedly, almost vomiting, with his face turning pale!
Yet Lin Fan was still sipping leisurely, unknowingly reaching his fifth cup, catching up with Li Mingliang!
"Now, I’ve already reached the sixth cup. Once I finish this one, we’ll be tied. Seems... this liquor isn’t as hard to drink as imagined!"
Lin Fan amusingly played with the cup, then drained it!
Li Mingliang saw Lin Fan’s expression when drinking - extremely uncomfortable - but after finishing, Lin Fan’s face was calm, unlike himself with a pale face!
For a moment, Li Mingliang thought of a possibility: Lin Fan was putting on a show, already adept at drinking fire liquor and being exceptionally capable!
As Li Mingliang gasped, Lin Fan had already downed the sixth cup of fire liquor, tipping the empty cup towards Li Mingliang, smiling, "Not a drop left, we’re even now!"
"Kid, I don’t believe you can keep going!"
Li Mingliang shouted angrily, grabbed the seventh cup, and quickly poured it into his mouth!
The pain in his throat made Li Mingliang feel like he was swallowing flames instead of liquor, causing him to cough repeatedly and reddening his complexion!
"Clang!"
Lin Fan placed the empty cup on the table, squinted at the agonizing Li Mingliang, saying, "I’m already ahead of you!"
As he spoke, Lin Fan picked up the eighth cup, drinking slowly but calmly as if it were just a glass of water!
Li Mingliang refused to admit defeat, forcing himself to drink the seventh cup, then quickly picked up the eighth!
However, halfway through the eighth cup, the pain in Li Mingliang’s throat overwhelmed him, feeling like smoke rising, causing him to drop the cup on the table and collapse from exhaustion!
Conversely, Lin Fan had already drained the eighth cup of fire liquor!
"The ninth cup!"
Lin Fan smiled lightly, picked up the ninth cup, and calmly drank it down, not bothering to feign pain anymore!
The tenth cup sat quietly on the table, its flames raging wildly!
At this moment, the entire pub fell silent, heavy metal music faded, and everyone gathered around, holding their breath, fearing to disturb Lin Fan’s drinking rhythm!
All eyes were now focused on the tenth cup of fire liquor!
