51: Chapter 51 The Banquet

Below the stage, a hundred responses followed a single call; all the Body Sect Disciples were shouting from the bottom of their hearts. Their gazes were as firm as rock, their Aura grand and imposing, their expressions excited and fervent.

Lin Feng's heart suddenly trembled, an inexplicable emotion surging within him, his heart pounding. As the shouts of the Body Sect Disciples ceased, he spoke in a high, resonant voice, his tone sharp enough to pierce metal and crack stone, instantly spreading across the entire plaza.

"My fellow Senior Brothers, I have heard your cries. Lin Feng will certainly not disappoint your expectations; in the future, I will surely lead the Body Sect toward glory!"

"With the Body Sect emerged, who can contend with us?"

As this slogan from Lin Feng rang out, the Body Sect members below were not only fired up with enthusiasm, but they also shouted one after another, their voices resounding across the land, as if wishing to pierce the firmament.

After speaking, Lin Feng returned behind Sect Master Du Busi, and immediately afterward, Grand Elder Jin Peng and the Demon Fist Elder stepped forward to speak.

As the speaking session ended, the banquet session followed immediately.

A short while later, the banquet was prepared. The Sect Master and the Elders sat together, while the Body Sect Disciples sat around the plaza of the main hall. In front of each person was a long square table, laden with fine wine and delicacies.

Lin Feng brought Nan Qiuqiu and Vina to the table where the Sect Master and the Elders were seated. Seeing the goblet in front of him that was thicker than his own arm, he instantly felt distressed.

Why did he suddenly feel that this cup seemed a bit too large?

Nan Qiuqiu and Vina sat beside Lin Feng, although with their current strength and status, they were not yet qualified to sit in this position.

However, their identities were very special: Nan Qiuqiu was Lin Feng's younger sister, and Vina was a princess of the Heaven Soul royal family, so the Sect Master and the Elders did not object.

However, Nan Qiuqiu sat closer to Lin Feng, while Vina sat beside Nan Qiuqiu.

Regarding this, they all wore smiling expressions, and the looks they directed at Lin Feng were full of ambiguity.

Everything was ready. Sect Master Du Busi laughed heartily and was the first to stand up. His opening remark was simple and wild: "Bottoms up!"

After saying this, he tilted his head back and drained the cup in one gulp. His manner was unrestrained and satisfying, truly heroic.

After Sect Master Du Busi finished drinking, it was immediately followed by Grand Elder Jin Peng and the Demon Fist Douluo. After the two of them finished, it was the turn of the various Body Sect Elders.

When it was Lin Feng's turn, he sighed softly, gritted his teeth, stood up, and drained the wine in his cup in one gulp. The spicy, pungent taste instantly surged to his heart, causing him to cough incessantly, and before long, patches of red flush rose on his face.

Sect Master Du Busi and the various Body Sect Elders all laughed heartily, their smiles extremely joyful...

After Lin Feng, it was Nan Qiuqiu's turn. She was quite bold; as soon as Lin Feng sat down, she immediately stood up. Just as she was about to raise the wine, a large hand covered the cup.

Nan Qiuqiu pouted and acted coquettishly toward Lin Feng: "Brother~"

Lin Feng glared at her fiercely, then picked up her cup and downed it in one breath. Immediately afterward, he looked at Vina with an inquiring expression, asking if she needed help.

Vina shook her head slightly, a smile appearing on the corners of her lips. As a princess who had grown up in the palace since childhood, drinking was one of the essential skills, so it naturally came easily to her.

Vina stood up, her onion-white fingers gently wrapping around the wine cup. The way she held the cup was very particular; although Lin Feng wasn't certain, it must have been a form of court etiquette. She drank very gracefully, yet not slowly at all, and in the blink of an eye, the cup was empty.

After finishing, Vina bowed to the Sect Master and the Elders before sitting down gracefully, which made Nan Qiuqiu, who was watching from the side, very unconvinced.

"Good, good, good!" Sect Master Du Busi said the word "good" three times, his face full of appreciation for Vina, though it was unknown exactly what he was appreciating...

After the first round of drinks, the great battle had only just begun.

This wine was truly too strong, and Lin Feng had never touched a drop of alcohol before this. After several large cups of strong liquor, his body immediately began to sway.

Even with his current cultivation, if he didn't use his Soul Power to force out the alcohol's potency, it would be very easy for him to get drunk.

Seeing that Lin Feng was about to reach his limit, Sect Master Du Busi's eyes immediately lit up. He pulled Grand Elder Jin Peng and the various Body Sect Elders to pour wine for Lin Feng, determined to get him drunk in one fell swoop.

However, although Lin Feng had no resistance to strong liquor, his mental willpower was extremely tenacious, and he stubbornly endured his swaying body to continue drinking against the Sect Master and the Elders.

In such a lively setting, no one would talk about using Soul Power to force out the alcohol; instead, they thoroughly enjoyed this dizzy, tipsy feeling.

Lin Feng grimaced, again raising his cup to drain it one after another against the Sect Master and the Elders. By now, he had lost count of how many cups he had drunk...

Seeing Lin Feng and the Elders drinking freely, Nan Qiuqiu finally felt relieved.

She waved her hand, moved a jar of wine that hadn't had its mud seal removed from the ground, brought over two large bowls, filled them directly, and then placed them in front of Vina. She snorted lightly: "These cups are too small; it's no fun drinking from them. If you have the ability, drink this with me..." Nan Qiuqiu raised her large wine bowl, looking at Vina provocatively.

"Since you want to accompany me in drinking, Sister, then I will certainly accompany you to the end!" Vina smiled slightly, not showing any stage fright, and immediately drained the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

As if afraid Nan Qiuqiu wouldn't see it, she smiled and turned the bowl upside down...

"Hmph, who's afraid of whom?" Nan Qiuqiu snorted coldly and also picked up the wine bowl, but the moment it touched her lips, she was choked by the strong liquor and coughed continuously at the air.

"Hahaha..." Vina clutched her stomach and laughed heartily, saying while laughing: "If you aren't used to this wine, Sister, you shouldn't force yourself..."

"Who isn't used to it? I... I'm just drinking it for the first time. Once I get used to it, I won't be any worse than you!"

Nan Qiuqiu glared at Vina. Looking at the wine bowl, she revealed a bitter expression, gritted her teeth, and drank the wine in the bowl all at once, as if taking medicine.

Cough, cough, cough... The moment she finished drinking, her face was instantly covered in a crimson flush.

"Again!" Vina smiled lightly, her expression seemingly carrying a hint of cunning, and she filled the wine again in front of the two of them.

Nan Qiuqiu's vision darkened, and she faintly regretted competing in drinking with her. The other party had practiced from childhood; how could she, a half-baked amateur, compare to her?

But at this moment, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. At this point, even if she fainted, she couldn't back down...

The two went back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, five or six large bowls had gone down. Even Lin Feng, who was on the side, was stunned, secretly regretting being too careless and failing to keep an eye on Nan Qiuqiu...

Watching them drink so enthusiastically, he sighed in his heart. Forget it, blocking is not as good as guiding; it was better to just let nature take its course.

In the blink of an eye, the wine jar was empty. Sect Master Du Busi didn't waste words; without a second word, he took the initiative to join the fray, pulling out over a dozen jars of wine from who knows where with his left and right hands, with the clear intention of not stopping until everyone was drunk.

Lin Feng drank cup after cup. Although his body was swaying and his face was red down to his neck, he stubbornly held on and didn't collapse.

Several Titled Douluo began to sway and stagger, leaving the wine table one after another, but Lin Feng was still standing firm.

Vina looked at Nan Qiuqiu, who had already passed out, and smiled lightly without showing it. In a flash, she changed positions with her and arrived at Lin Feng's side: "Senior Brother Lin Feng, I toast you a cup!"

Lin Feng naturally wouldn't refuse and immediately started drinking. The two went back and forth, and several more cups of wine went down.

Even Vina, who was known for her drinking capacity, couldn't hold on much longer. Her face was rosy pink, making one unable to resist wanting to kiss her.

She also leaned into Lin Feng's embrace, her hands holding his arm, continuing to force herself to lift the wine bowl, intending to drink it.

But the next moment, a palm blocked her, then took the bowl and drained it in one gulp. His face was dizzy, and he mumbled: "If you can't drink anymore, don't drink. I... *hic*... I'll drink it for you!"

Vina was very moved. Although looking at Lin Feng's appearance, these should be the words of someone drunk, this unexpected concern still made a warm current surge in her heart.
