Chapter 248: Chapter 29: It’s All Xia Jing’s Fault!_2

Whish~

Ten people quickly gathered beside the training martial master.

"Now replenish your strength!"

Once the Minister of Agriculture provided food, they had to start eating immediately. Speed-eating training was also of utmost importance.

When Zhao Xing was at Marquis Mansion Chen, he always ate swiftly, a habit formed from his time in the army.

"You must consume the food grown by the Military Minister of Agriculture as quickly as possible to restore your combat power."

"Every ten pounds is one serving. The more servings you eat and the shorter the time, the higher your score in the speed-eating training!"

As the training martial master spoke.

Zhao Xing also employed Gang Wind and arrived in front of the martial artists.

When the ten martial artists saw the amount of supplies in the Gang Wind, their eyes widened.

There was too much!

They did not expect that within just an hour, Zhao Xing would bring so much.

Whoosh~

Judge Zhou Ming also appeared in front of the martial artists.

"Commander Liu," Zhou Ming greeted training martial master Liu Yongli, "Divine Might Army Zhao Xing has already produced Third Rank supplies, totaling five thousand pounds. Please immediately arrange for ten martial artists to undergo speed-eating training."

How much?!

Wang Meng was utterly shocked!

Third Rank supplies, five thousand pounds?!

Chen Fang, Zhang Jie, and Hu Bing also widened their eyes.

Wasn’t this way too much? Did he really produce this in just an hour?!

Xia Jing’s mouth twitched as he glanced at the sky where Zhao Xing was.

The latter responded with a smile.

"Cough...Alright," Liu Yongli pointed to the empty ground beside him, "please place it here."

Swoosh~

Zhao Xing waved his hand, and Gang Wind gently blew over the empty ground.

After a gust of wind, a small mountain of numbing fish fruit appeared on the ground.

"This is Third Rank supplies, numbing fish fruit. Consuming it can quickly restore one’s primordial energy,"

Zhou Ming explained to the doctor beside him.

The latter adjusted his medical box and started getting his tools.

Hey, hey, hey, Doctor, what are you doing? Can this numbing fish fruit really be eaten? Why are you getting your box?!

The ten martial artists watching this scene hadn’t even started eating, but they already had an ominous feeling.

"Sir, how is this numbing fish fruit meant to be eaten?" Wang Meng asked cautiously.

"Not complicated, just eat it with the skin," Zhou Ming said with a smile.

Not complicated, why are you smiling?

Do you have to be this obvious about taking pleasure in others’ misfortunes?!

Zhao Xing glanced at Zhou Ming; it seemed this judge enjoyed watching such things.

"Begin," Liu Yongli gave the command.

The ten martial artists started walking towards the small mountain of numbing fish fruit, beginning their Gluttonous Eating Skill training.

Zhou Ming didn’t leave; he wanted to watch the fun.

Zhao Xing didn’t leave either. He wasn’t in a rush to go back and replant; he had to watch Xia Jing eat to be satisfied!

Crunch!

Xia Jing took a bite of the numbing fish fruit, and it tasted very astringent, hard to swallow.

Once the skin broke, juice flowed out immediately.

A strong fishy smell assaulted his nose, so strong it was like a fish that had been dead for several days was brought to the table.

Since childhood, Xia Jing didn’t like to eat fish, let alone this kind. The taste was simply suffocating.

Crunch~

Forcing himself to endure the discomfort, he swallowed it down, and his stomach immediately roiled.

But Xia Jing didn’t even furrow his brow.

He knew Zhao Xing was watching from above; if he showed any reaction now, wouldn’t that be what the other party wanted?

"I, Xia Jing, am the princely heir of the Marquis Mansion. How could I be afraid of one serving of food?!"

"I will eat!"

Xia Jing quickly swallowed a fist-sized numbing fish fruit.

He didn’t forget to smile at Zhao Xing: "Thank you, Minister of Agriculture Zhao, for delivering the food. This numbing fish fruit is quite good, just to my liking!"

Chen Fang, Zhang Jie, and Hu Bing immediately looked at Xia Jing with strange expressions.

Brother, your mouth is too stiff.

You can say this thing is delicious?

But seeing Xia Jing was looking up when he said it, they immediately understood.

The man was sparring!

"Brother Xia, you are too kind. This is just the duty of the Military Minister of Agriculture," Zhao Xing smiled, "I heard Brother Xia is the No. 1 talent of Azure Dragon Martial Arts Institute. The Gluttonous Eating Skill must also be unparalleled. In the speed-eating training, Brother Xia will surely be No. 1 in the Institute."

So you are stubborn, let’s see how tough you really are!

Zhou Ming found the verbal sparring between the two quite amusing.

Xia Jing wouldn’t admit defeat.

Zhao Xing flattered him with a lethal line, putting Xia Jing on a pedestal.

This top talent of Azure Dragon surely couldn’t eat less than others, right?!

"I won’t disappoint Mr. Zhao!" Xia Jing said and immediately activated the Gluttonous Eating Skill to absorb the fruit’s primordial energy.

"Hmm?" Just one activation of the Gluttonous Eating Skill, and Xia Jing shivered.

A numbing sensation as if electrocuted.

At first, it wasn’t very strong.

But with each activation, it hit again.

Xia Jing’s Gluttonous Eating Skill was at the third level, so the absorption efficiency was fast, and the numbing frequency faster.

"Damn it, this numbing fish fruit’s primordial energy absorption feels like being electrocuted!" Xia Jing cursed inwardly, but having already boasted, he could only pretend nothing was wrong and continue eating.

After eating two pieces, he had only consumed one pound.

Ten pounds for one serving, Xia Jing needed to eat twenty of them to finish one serving.

When he was halfway through, Xia Jing suddenly felt a faint cramping sensation in his abdomen.

The blood flow wasn’t smooth either.

Damn, this numbing fish fruit is poisonous!!

"Gourmet Heaven and Earth!"

Xia Jing employed the Cultivation Technique to quickly expel the toxins from his body.

Indeed, his ability was strong; he finished the first serving at the fastest speed.

But others didn’t pretend like Xia Jing; their faces were full of bitterness.

"Damn, this is disgusting, it smells like dead fish!"

"Brother Chen, Brother Hu, do you feel numb while eating?" Zhang Jie asked in a low voice.

"Yes, the faster you absorb the primordial energy, the stronger the feeling," Chen Fang’s brow was tightly furrowed.

"Oh no, I think I’ve been poisoned!" Hu Bing’s expression changed slightly.

"What? Poisoned too?" Wang Meng was startled, "Why don’t I feel it?"

"You eat slowly, so you don’t feel the minuscule toxins yet," Hu Bing quickly sat cross-legged and employed the Cultivation Technique, "Once you finish one serving, you’ll understand."

"This..." Wang Meng looked at the purple-black fruit in his hand, speechless.

He suddenly didn’t feel very hungry anymore.

"This training allocated to Minister of Agriculture Zhao is a huge misfortune."

"Shh, keep your voice down, are you looking for death?!"

"You can’t blame Minister of Agriculture Zhao, blame Xia Jing! Why must we be in the same group as him?"

"True, and he even said it tasted good. Doesn’t that make Zhao Xing even more relentless?!"

"Sigh..."

....

Zhao Xing watched Xia Jing finish five servings from above, then left.

Seeing Zhao Xing leave, Xia Jing immediately relaxed, frowning as his stomach roiled, making him want to vomit.

At this moment, Zhao Xing suddenly glanced back and sneered.

He had used [Inspection] for three quarters of an hour, finally confirming that Xia Jing, apart from a bit of stubbornness, had other motives for pretending to enjoy the taste.

"He wants me to think the numbing fish fruit isn’t hard for him to digest."

"His goal is for me to switch to a different food next time?"

"He must dislike that fishy taste, and he hates strong flavors?"

With [Inspection], Zhao Xing could grasp others’ psychological fluctuations. Although Xia Jing hid it well, Zhao Xing still noticed.

"Alright, very well."

Returning to the flying boat, Zhao Xing immediately rummaged through the bamboo box.

"You are stubborn with Third Rank supplies, let’s see if you are with Fourth Rank!"

"If I don’t make you cry from eating, I haven’t done my job as Military Minister of Agriculture!"

Zhao Xing sneered while searching.

"Got it!"

In the Fourth Rank bamboo box, Zhao Xing’s eyes landed on a seedling after a long search.

"Kekeke~"

Finding the desired seedling, Zhao Xing let out a sinister laugh.

Returning from the martial artists, Zhou Ming saw Zhao Xing’s sinister smile and unconsciously took a step back: "Why is his smile so creepy...huh? What is he planning to plant?"

"Hiss! Offending this guy, Xia Jing is in for it..."
