Chapter 1726 - 1778: Toasting to Heroes
Li Yifei quickly jumped up, ran into the villa, found two bottles of wine, and instructed the housekeeper to make a few snacks to go with the wine. It didn’t matter what they were, the important thing was to bring them quickly.He ran back, and Elder Feng had already laid down.
"Is there good wine hidden here by the old fellow?" Elder Feng stretched out his hand as soon as he saw the wine, looked at the bottle, twisted off the cap, took a gulp, and let out a "ha" sound, praising, "Good wine, worth drinking!"
Li Yifei also smiled, twisted off the cap, drank a small sip, and only felt that at first, the wine wasn’t too spicy, even a little sweet. But after a few seconds, when the liquid entered his esophagus and settled in his stomach, a burst of spiciness surged up, making Li Yifei involuntarily open his mouth and let out a breath.
"Strong stuff!" Li Yifei shouted, feeling like his whole stomach was on fire, and his pores tingled all over, instantly relieving a lot of the fatigue from their recent intense battle.
"This wine of Murong’s... it’s got some years on it. The last time I drank it was half a century ago; after that, when I asked him for some, he always said there was none left. I didn’t expect there would still be two bottles hidden here." Elder Feng explained, unable to resist taking another big gulp, swallowing it directly, and after a few "ha" sounds, said, "Drink it up, don’t waste it. This wine is something special, it’s top-quality monkey wine, truly brewed by monkeys. Nowadays you can’t find it anymore, and it’s something that can quickly restore True Qi."
Actually, even if Elder Feng hadn’t said anything, Li Yifei had already noticed. When he and Elder Feng sparred just now, neither of them held back much, and the True Qi consumption was intense. After drinking a sip of wine, although spicy, it felt like the spiciness transformed into threads of True Qi, integrating into the body and being absorbed.
For a moment, Li Yifei was reluctant to drink more, but Elder Feng said, "Go ahead, once it’s opened we need to finish it, otherwise it won’t have the same effect after a while."
Li Yifei said somewhat regretfully, "I was thinking of saving this stuff for a fight; just one sip can replenish quite a bit of True Qi, which could be somewhat useful."
"Oh no, could this have been specially left for you by the old fellow, and we ended up drinking it?" Elder Feng suddenly slapped his thigh and said.
"No way that’s just a coincidence?" Li Yifei blinked and smacked his lips.
Elder Feng twisted his head, picked up the bottle, took a big swig, and after a moment, said, "Who cares, it’s not convenient to drink during a fight anyway; let’s finish it first. After fighting you today, I have confidence. I estimate you can definitely defeat that damned Satan. Damn, couldn’t they have picked a better name?"
"The person... is actually alright, but there’s no choice. It’s like the saying about Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu; since we’re both born in this era, we have to find out who’s better!" Li Yifei raised his head and took a small sip, this time not in a hurry to swallow, but slowly letting it move around his mouth, savoring the spiciness as if he was on fire, then gradually swallowing it, feeling a comfort all over after the spiciness subsided.
As they were speaking, the housekeeper brought over the snacks, including sliced cured sausage, cooked food, peanuts, and placed them in front of the two. After thanking the housekeeper, Li Yifei asked them to find a few more bottles of wine. The housekeeper, frightened by the amount they were drinking, nearly fainted, so Li Yifei said, "The wine is already drunk, I’ll explain it to Elder Murong later; it’s none of your business."
The housekeeper’s heart was racing with fear, and they repeatedly nodded and retreated. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fiɾe·net
After eating and drinking a bit, Elder Feng said, "Time to talk about serious matters. I came here today for two reasons; first, to have a match with you, which we’ve already done, so I have a grasp on things now. I know you held back some stuff, but there was no need to use it earlier."
Li Yifei put on a serious face, looked at Elder Feng, and said, "It’s not that I held back, but it’s just not the time to go all out, so those things can’t be used. However, Elder Feng, you also held back a lot of killer moves, so our fight wasn’t quite intense enough."
"Enough, it’s enough. Back in the day, I was one who fought tooth and nail, and not many could impress me, so you’re already doing well. Now let me tell you about that Satan."
"Okay, please go ahead, Elder Feng!" Li Yifei sat up straight, ready for Elder Feng’s analysis.
Elder Feng looked at the plate of peanuts in front of him, picked one up, tossed it into his mouth, and said, "We’ve found some information, and coupled with the two previous matches, it proves that Satan’s berserk abilities have improved, and have even reached a frenzied state. This is a legendary move passed down from Northern Europe’s top experts, originally comprehended by the ancient Vikings. In those icy and snowy lands, they fought polar bears and whales. Ordinary man’s strength was insufficient, so they created berserk techniques. People in berserk states had strength, speed, and reactions far superior to normal, especially in strength. I’ve seen records saying that after going berserk, the ancient Vikings could fight adult polar bears without losing in terms of power, and could jump into icy waters to battle whales tens or even hundreds of times human size."
Li Yifei listened silently. He never really understood what was behind Satan’s technique of instantly boosting all aspects of his body. Hearing Elder Feng unravel the mystery now, he finally understood its origins.
"There are many side effects to berserk states, which is said to be why the ancient Vikings went extinct, though it’s not proven. However, a frenzy is a deeper and more potent form of berserk, where the enhancements are even greater in all areas. That’s why in the past month or two, Satan has suddenly become even stronger and has continually challenged top experts from various countries, rarely being defeated.
Before coming here, I watched some videos. Although they weren’t very clear, one could see that after going into a frenzy, Satan’s power increases geometrically, not losing to the power derived from True Qi channeled by an Innate Expert, and even surpassing it significantly!"
"In other words, his power derives from berserk, not True Qi, but the source of power is the same, as certain elements within the body suddenly erupt, unleashing tremendous power. So in a short period, he is extremely dangerous."
Upon hearing this, Li Yifei asked, "Roughly... what level is he at?"
"From the videos, at the start of the frenzy, he is stronger than Murong, stronger than me, and stronger than those you’ve met. As for whether he’s stronger than you, I can’t say for sure, but I definitely have faith in you!"
Li Yifei grinned, lifted his wine bottle, toasted Elder Feng, and they both took a big gulp. After eating some more, they paused for a moment, then Li Yifei said, "Could you be more specific?"
