Chapter 524 Stone Cold Sober

Yet, Finn had counted to three and shouted "Down!", but Daniel didn't collapse. He was standing talland steady.

Seeing Daniel perfectly upright with no sign of falling, Finn's eyes widened in disbelief. "How... howare you still standing?" he asked in astonishment.

"Did you think that after drinking your Five Grains Spirit, I'd just flop to the ground after threeseconds?" Daniel chuckled, spinning his tale. “I grew up in a village, you know, and I’ve always hadquite the tolerance. Even our village drunk couldn't outdrink me. One time, I challenged the oldboozer—jug for jug—and we emptied the tavern's cellar. The old drunk passed out, but I walkedaway clear-headed."

No sooner had Daniel finished bragging than Beauty reached out and gave his waist a painful twist.

"Ouch! Why'd you twist me this time?" Daniel winced in pain and asked.

"Intending to get even a drunk ghost wasted? What exactly did you do to him after that?" Beautydemanded.

"What could I possibly do to him? It’s just a drunken spirit, not the beautiful you. But if you gave mea chance to get you drunk, who knows? Maybe there might be something I could do."

"Something you could do? What exactly do you have in mind, you no-good jerk?" Beauty wasincensed.

"Don’t get worked up! What I’d do would make you happy, real comfy. I'd bet you’d want me to keepgoing!" he teased her.

"Keep spouting nonsense and I'll end you, idiot!" Beauty threatened.

"And how exactly would you end me?" Daniel provoked. "Do you have a certain position in mind totake me out? Should I just lie there and let 'Beauty' have her way, or give you a little reaction?"

"Get lost!"

...

Their playful bickering was ignored by Finn, who felt that he was being slighted. He felt a great dealof humiliation in that moment.

"Country boy, you think you can drink? Then let's go another round!" Finn declared, bringing overtwo more jugs.

Though these two jugs of Five Grains Spirit were half the size of the first, and the quantity of alcoholwas halved, the proof of these jugs was a hundred times greater than the first.

Just a whiff of this Five Grains Spirit could knock out an actual bull, not just a man.

Daniel lifted the jug Finn handed him to his nose and took a sniff, immediately grinning insatisfaction.

"Now this is the real deal! This Five Grains Spirit has got some kick! It’s been ages since I've hadsuch a potent drink."

Saying that, Daniel raised the jug and tilted his head back.

Gulp, gulp, gulp...

He chugged the entire small jug of Five Grains Spirit, not leaving a single drop.

"Finn, I'm done. Your turn," Daniel said, passing the challenge back to him.

Finn was stunned. This kid really could hold his liquor!

His second jug of Five Grains Spirit didn't lay Daniel out after all.

Finn was not the type to cheat at a drinking match. Since Daniel had finished the second jug, it washis turn to drink.
