After finishing a plate of delicious food, a strong surge of heat rushed down my throat and into my limbs, bursting forth.

The internal energy circulates, carrying a thick flow of blood energy that freely travels through the body.

In an instant, Li Ming's face turned crimson.

It felt as if I was in a furnace, with the temperature rising rapidly.

"Such powerful blood energy!"

Li Ming calmed the blood rushing to his stomach.

Then, they ordered another plate of food and started eating again.

It's like adding fuel to the fire!

The already abundant blood energy in his body was further amplified, but it was still quickly absorbed by Li Ming. His crystal-clear jade bones shone brightly, and the blood energy that seemed about to overflow immediately dissipated.

"Again!"

Li Ming immediately activated his Vajra Body, his bones humming, and a wave of energy rippled around his tall, imposing body.

In the blink of an eye.

Li Ming finished five plates, then ten plates...

I've eaten almost every kind.

Those watching were stunned, while even the maids seemed somewhat flustered.

I've never seen anyone eat like this before.

Li Ming sat here, and his boundless blood energy seemed to transform into a blood dragon.

With each breath, it was as if a dragon was churning in a great river, its power was extremely frightening!

Zhang Tian, ​​who was standing nearby, stared wide-eyed. He had just eaten eight plates and felt that he was far superior to others, but seeing Li Ming's current appearance, with his blood and qi surging like a torrent, even a master of external martial arts probably wouldn't have such an aura.

The thunderous sound echoed continuously throughout the hall!

"Are you sure this person isn't a demon or a dragon in human form?"

"He ate all thirty plates of delicious food!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"This dish of food is like a great medicinal herb. An ordinary person can only eat one of these, and a martial artist of the lower three ranks can only eat five or ten of these dishes."

Everyone exclaimed in disbelief.

"Such extraordinary phenomena arise from your breathing, and Brother Li also cultivates a superior body-refining method that not only strengthens the external body but also the internal organs. You are practically a dragon and a tiger, beyond human comprehension!"

Cai Shisan has a higher level of insight; he has even seen many of the geniuses on the Human Ranking.

Those people were either taken in as true disciples by major sects from a young age, or they spent enormous resources to cultivate their martial arts foundation.

Unexpectedly, Li Ming, despite being born in a small, insignificant town, had neither family background nor wealth.

It's unbelievable that they could cultivate such a powerful physique!

"I should befriend such a talented person. If he soars to great heights in the future, I can also follow in his footsteps."

Why not find some time to become sworn brothers with him, and become half-brothers?

Cai Shisan's eyes shifted slightly, a myriad of thoughts swirling in his mind.

For the people of the God of Wealth Pavilion, sponsoring a genius is like betting on a fortune; if the genius soars to great heights, the fortunes will rise with them.

The founder of the God of Wealth Pavilion once bet on an unparalleled genius, and that person lived up to his expectations, not only attaining immortality but also quickly becoming one of the strongest. The founder of the God of Wealth Pavilion then rose to prominence and followed suit.

Therefore, the disciples of the God of Wealth Pavilion are particularly keen on befriending geniuses, basically taking anyone they fancy, but there are priorities and weights to the degree of friendship.

In Cai Shisan's eyes, Li Ming was like a rough gem that was bound to shine in the future, making him an excellent investment target.

Others were afraid that Li Ming would overpower them, but Cai Shisan wanted to see where his limits were. The more powerful he was, the happier Cai Shisan was.

"Keep serving him food!"

Upon hearing Cai Shisan's words, the maid, who had been hesitant, continued to serve plate after plate of delicious food.

Li Ming glanced at him and his eyes lit up. He hadn't expected the chubby boy to be so knowledgeable.

His Vajra Body is already close to perfection. If he eats some more to stimulate his body's potential, he might be able to advance even further!

"Eating more is a blessing, but little did I know that my words would come true."

Li Mingxin thought to himself, but his hands moved even faster, and he quickly ate another plate.

Everyone held their breath, and expressions of shock appeared on their faces.

They seemed to see the powerful qi and blood within Li Ming's body, almost bursting out of the top of his head and becoming tangible!

If those wandering ghosts were to get close to him for even a second, they would probably be vaporized on the spot.

During the entire event, Li Ming ate about fifty plates of food, leaving all the contestants and onlookers stunned.

Even with ordinary food, most people would be so full they couldn't walk after eating it.

But this Li Ming seemed to be the embodiment of the mythical beast Taotie, no matter how much he ate.

However, his body remained normal, with only slight undulations in his abdomen.

Her flushed face returned to normal in no time.

After resting for only a dozen or so breaths, they were able to feast again.

About half an hour later, after Li Ming finished drinking the last pot of wine, he took a towel from the tray and wiped his mouth.

He then let out a long, satisfied sigh, as if he had just attended an ordinary banquet at a restaurant, highlighting his contentment.

There's a reason why Li Ming can eat so much.

Under normal circumstances, he can only eat 20-30 plates at most.

But now.

All sorts of highly nourishing substances were absorbed by the jade-like precious bone within his body.

Only then did Li Ming realize that his jade bones had been malnourished all along, which explained why the blessing he received didn't feel as significant as he had imagined.

And this is when he is at his perfect state.

Seeing this, many geniuses realized that there are always people more capable than oneself.

"Impressive, that's the biggest appetite ever."

The speaker was Lin Xun, who was ranked 108th on the current list of people.

After saying that, he gave Li Ming a deep look.

Not knowing what it meant, I prepared to get up and leave.

Li Ming glanced at it.

Name: Lin Xun

[Realm Level: Seventh Level of Qi Condensation]

[Entries: Sharpshooter (Blue), Eagle Eye (Cyan), Martial Spirit (Cyan), Swordsmanship (White), Cunning (White), Strength (White), Patience (White)]

"The entry is good; it seems to have some merit."

Li Ming nodded secretly.

Lin Xun's entry is already quite impressive. Archery is his forte, and his close-quarters swordsmanship is also quite good. No wonder he's ranked on the list of top talents.

Even though Li Ming has a grudge against the Lin family, he still managed to steal the spotlight this time. Lin Xun's forbearance makes one wonder what his true intentions are.

Li Ming couldn't help but secretly take precautions.

Zhang Tian, ​​however, was somewhat displeased with the other body-refining expert.

He's always been a big eater, but this time he was completely outmatched.

He immediately stood up and said:

"You little brat, you must have used some kind of trick, right?"

"Dare to have a go?"

"Zhang Tian, ​​Young Master Li is only at the Qi Refining stage, while you've already reached the Qi Condensation stage. How dare you?"

"This time it's a eating contest, not a martial arts contest!"

Cai Shisan immediately got a little angry. Zhang Tianping was usually a rough man, but he didn't expect him to make a scene in front of so many people. It was quite disrespectful to him.

"It's just a friendly spar, a contest of strength. If you can't even beat me, wouldn't you become a laughingstock?"

Zhang Tian acted arrogantly.

"Or is it just that you were lucky enough to cultivate a secret technique that aids digestion, or even..."

Zhang Tian hesitated before speaking, but his subsequent words left much to the imagination.

It's basically saying that Li Ming cheated.

Tensions instantly rose, and the atmosphere became tense.

Zhang Tian was overjoyed when he heard that the competition was about who could eat the most, thinking he was sure to win. However, he ended up only getting second place.

He was somewhat dissatisfied.

Moreover, seeing how powerful Li Ming's physical body was, he couldn't help but want to have a match with him.

"Let's do it his way!"

"However, if you lose, you should pay some compensation. That's not too much to ask, is it?"

Li Ming did not refuse directly, but instead put forward conditions.

This competition is a good opportunity to test my current abilities.

He just didn't expect that the Lin family member wasn't targeting him, but instead, Zhang Tian suddenly appeared out of nowhere to cause trouble.

It's fine if you disagree.

Just beat them until they surrender.

Cai Shisan frowned and said, "Brother Li was reckless. Zhang Tian cultivates a superior body-refining method, and he is naturally strong. His cultivation is also above yours. There is no need to fight with him this time."

"Anyway, you're going to be number one in this conference, so you'll get to choose two of the rewards first. Why bother fighting over a moment's pride?"

"It's alright."

Li Ming said nonchalantly, "I ask myself, what I seek on the path of martial arts is a clear understanding of one's thoughts."

If the other party questions his strength, wouldn't he give them ammunition if he closed himself off and refused to fight?

Even if he is right, with so many different opinions, can he really make his point?

In this world, in the end, it's all about who has the strongest fist.

Moreover, he was confident of winning.

Zhang Tian said calmly, "If you lose, I will send ten thousand taels of silver to your residence. Moreover, if there are still people who are not convinced by you, I, Zhang Tian, ​​will be the first to help you deal with them!"

Li Ming didn't hesitate and readily agreed.

After all, even if he loses, he will only lose some reputation.

This kind of thing is only attracting attention now because it's in the spotlight; after a while, nobody will care anymore.

The audience is only enjoying the temporary excitement.

As for the outcome?

Does it matter?

Seeing that Li Ming didn't care at all, Cai Shisan could only smile wryly and accompany him, deciding to interrupt the competition if the situation turned bad later.

Seeing the conflict between Zhang Tian and Li Ming, everyone became very interested and wanted to see what sparks would fly between these two body-refining martial artists.

Before long, the group arrived at the martial arts hall inside the pavilion.
