Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 2839

Chapter 2839: 2839

This eating contest was a sinister plan . Everyone knew that these fruits were extremely nutritious especially for natives of the light .

After all, each contained the rich essences of the light affinity . Eating one could wash the mind and increase one’s cultivation power . The better the fruit, the greater the effect .

Alas, nothing was ever absolute . If one wasn’t strong enough, eating a high-ranked fruit wouldn’t be good .

For example, if Zhou Qiushi were to eat a ninth-ranked fruit in one bite, his body would instantly explode .

Despite his incredible sword, everyone could tell that Li Qiye had no cultivation to speak of . Eating one eight-ranked fruit might be okay but eating ten in a row? Implosion might be the result of being unable to withstand the influx of power .  

“Not a bad idea . ” Tiger King chuckled: “We’re all fellow students so fighting will only harm our comradery . It’s much better to have an eating contest . If you win, you can do as you please to me . If you lose, the treasure will be yours and I’ll back off!” 

His comment seemed fair toward Li Qiye . In fact, Li Qiye seemed to have the better end of the deal . Remember, one was the disciple of Goldtypha True Emperor and the other was only a student from Repentance Institution . The disparity of status was immense .

“An eating contest, huh?” Li Qiye rubbed his chin, seemingly hesitating .

“Of course, I will drop this issue if you give up now . ” Tiger King became more confident after seeing his opponent’s demeanor .

“Just give up in my opinion and do Tiger King a favor by selling that treasure to him . Maybe you’ll earn Goldtypha True Emperor’s grace too . ” Others started chiming in to support Tiger King .

“Fine, let’s do it . What rank?” Li Qiye laughed and made up his mind .

The sudden shift in his attitude surprised the crowd . All eyes turned towards Tiger King .

“The ninth? Let’s do that . ” Tiger King pondered for a bit before speaking .

“Ninth-ranked fruits?” This startled the members of the audience . Not many of them could handle eating ninth-ranked fruits in one go .

“Ninth rank it is, let’s do it . ” Li Qiye didn’t hold back .

No one expected Li Qiye to accept so fast . Could the guy actually handle eating an entire ninth-ranked fruit?

“Let’s start with three . ” Tiger King took out his spatial pouch and revealed three ninth-ranked fruits inside .

They had a peerless sacred glow, seemingly carved from precious gems .

“Brother Tiger King actually has three…” An impressed spectator murmured . Getting just one was hard enough for some Eternals, let alone three .

“They’re Hundred-dew Pill Fruits too, the finest grade among the ninth-ranked fruits . ” One person sighed with envy .

“Haha, it’s nothing . I barely got one thanks to Master’s guidance . He also knocked down another two for me . ” Tiger King said .

His expression had no sign of humility unlike his words, only signs of complacence . After all, how many people had a True Emperor for a master?

The crowd started wishing for a new master who would casually give their disciple two ninth-ranked sacred fruits . This was the difference between Tiger King and the rest .

“Okay, let’s eat three fruits each . Whoever can finish and be all right will be the winner . ” Tiger King said . According to his own estimation, eating three fruits in a row was pushing it but he really wanted this piece of treasure for his master . Being reckless in this case was acceptable .

“Sure, three then . ” Li Qiye coolly accepted .

“Where are your fruits?” Tiger King had a smug expression . He didn’t think Li Qiye would have three ninth-ranked fruits .

In his opinion, it wouldn’t be easy for the guy to get three with the help of his sword . This was a chance to humiliate Li Qiye .

“You need to prepare your own fruits for this bet . Tiger King can’t get them for you . ” One student immediately said .

“Of course, you wouldn’t be able to get a first-ranked fruit without your sword . ” Another insulted him .

“Yeah, it’s too bad I do have the sword . Wait a minute then, I’ll go get some . ” Li Qiye smiled and jumped off the branch .  

He ran to a mound and started digging with his sword to the crowd’s horror .  This guy is using a progenitorial sword as a shovel… This world is so unfair…

If they had a sword like that, they would treasure it each day with tributes and offerings . On the other hand, Li Qiye just let it touch the mud and soil .

“So disrespectful, a progenitorial sword should be enshrined and worshipped!” One student said with indignation .

“Yeah, it’s my sword now so I’ll do as I please . You can do the same with your sword if you want, it’s not a crime . ” Li Qiye calmly answered while digging .

This shut the student up since he had no retort .  

“Okay, got it . These are my three . ” Li Qiye got three items resembling lotus roots and washed them clean .

“Earthlotus Fruits…” The crowd recognized the washed fruits .

“That’s a sacred fruit?” A student has never seen this type before .

“Yes, it’s a ninth rank too, but far inferior to Hundred-dew Pill Fruit . ” A knowledgeable student said .

Everyone learned that sacred fruits didn’t only grow on trees . Some were buried underground too .

“So, my three against your three?” Li Qiye smiled .

“Hmph, it’s not fair because your lotus fruits are barely at the ninth rank . You have to get something similar or the same fruit . ” One student said with disdain .

“Yes, this isn’t fair for Tiger King . ” Another added: “Just give up if you’re not capable enough to get some Hundred-dew Pill Fruits . ”

“Don’t bet if you can’t handle it . ” One more sneered .

These students with mediocre background tried hard to please Tiger King .

“It’s fine . ” Tiger King acted as if he was being generous: “Earthlotus Fruits will be just fine . So what if I’m at a slight disadvantage . Let’s go . ”

“Your mentality is commendable, we pale in comparison . ” One student instantly praised Tiger King .

“Okay, well, I won’t push my luck since you’re being so lenient already . I’ll eat one first since Earthlotus Fruit has a harmonious and moderate affinity that can subdue the power of the light . This will make it fairer . ”

“Hmph, so it has a gentle property . No wonder why he chose this fruit . ” One student snorted .

“Fine, you go first then . ” Tiger King wanted to see the result of Li Qiye consuming this fruit so he agreed .

Li Qiye began eating one . “Buzz . ” A holy light engulfed him .

Everyone could sense a majestic power entering his body . Strands of light oozed out of him, seemingly overfilling him to the point of cracking .

“Such powerful medicinal property . ” The students were shocked . This fruit had a gentle nature yet it still seemed dangerously potent . One could only imagine the potency of the Hundred-dew Pill Fruit .
