ALL NOVEL Chapter 79 - Grandmaster!
"Come on, drink up! I'll have you all under the table in no time," Oliver Sheng declared confidently, looking at his subordinates.
"I don't believe it. There's no way you can outdrink all of us," Cameron Guo retorted, raising his bowl to challenge Oliver.
"Alright, I'll start with you," Oliver smirked.
If anyone dared to challenge him to a drinking contest, he'd teach them a lesson.
Before long, two jars of Western Wind Blaze were downed, and Cameron felt a burning sensation in his stomach, his head starting to spin.
"Come on, keep drinking!"
"Drink!"
After another jar, Cameron was out, slumped over and retching.
Seeing Cameron down, the soldiers watching couldn't help but cheer loudly.
"Ohhh..."
"Next!" Oliver shouted.
"I'll go!" Wesley Hu volunteered.
"General, don't blame me if I win unfairly," Wesley said with a grin.
Oliver had already downed three jars of Western Wind Blaze.
"Stop talking nonsense. With your little drinking capacity, you think you can outdrink me?" Oliver scoffed.
Even without using his Innate True Qi to neutralize the alcohol, Wesley couldn't outdrink him.
"Come on, drink up. I'll make you all submit."
After four jars, Wesley joined Cameron on the ground, retching.
Seeing Wesley down, the soldiers cheered loudly:
"General is mighty!"
"Come on, old Chen, you're next," Oliver said, looking at Magistrate Chen.
"Huh? Do I have to compete too?" Magistrate Chen was surprised; he wasn't much of a drinker.
He was already tipsy after just half a jar of Western Wind Blaze.
"Stop talking nonsense. Are you a man or not?" Oliver goaded.
"Who are you calling not a man? Who says I'm not? Drink!" Magistrate Chen instantly got fired up.
It's just drinking, who’s afraid of who?
But before he could finish a jar, Magistrate Chen was slumped over the table, shouting:
"Fairy Isla Qin, don't go, Fairy Isla Qin..."
Everyone exchanged glances. Goodness, he was quite the romantic, still thinking about that fox spirit.
"Ignore him, he's just a simp. Felix Wu, you're up," Oliver said, eyeing Felix.
Tonight, he was determined to drink all four of his colonels under the table.
Seeing Oliver still sober after eight or nine jars of Western Wind Blaze, Felix felt a chill down his spine.
"No, no more, General."
"Stop talking nonsense, drink."
After Felix was down, Oliver didn't spare Xiao Chuyi.
Even though Xiao Chuyi was drinking Green Ant Wine, Oliver still managed to get him drunk.
Seeing Xiao Chuyi drunk, Oliver asked:
"Brother Batian, what position does your family hold in the court?"
"No, can't say," Xiao Chuyi, though drunk, still had his guard up.
"What's your father's name?"
"Not telling you."
"And your grandfather?"
Xiao Chuyi didn't respond, completely passed out.
Oliver looked at the unconscious Xiao Chuyi with regret. He had finally gotten him drunk, hoping to get some information, but even drunk, Xiao Chuyi kept his mouth shut.
"Zane Wang, Hunter Tang, Owen Hai... you guys too, come drink," Oliver called out. These were his old subordinates.
Feeling happy tonight, he decided to drink to his heart's content with his men.
After drinking all his subordinates under the table, Oliver felt slightly tipsy.
His Innate True Qi was so abundant, his blood energy as fierce as a flood dragon, that the alcohol had little effect on him.
As midnight struck, marking the first day of the new year, the soldiers on duty rotated shifts, allowing the previous shift to rest.
Oliver looked at the dark sky, snow beginning to fall.
He ordered the soldiers to take Cameron, Wesley, Zane, and the others back to sleep.
He climbed up the city wall, gazing at the snowy landscape. The new year brought new opportunities and challenges for him.
Barbarians, Huns, Jurchens, the Thirty-Six Buddhist Kingdoms of the Western Regions, the Demon Clan, Daoist Sects, the Demon Gate, Da Li, Da Chu, Miao Territory...
The more he understood this world, the more Oliver felt his own insignificance and fear.
His desire to become stronger grew even more intense.
"Maybe it's time to break through to Grandmaster," Oliver murmured.

Without hesitation, Oliver clicked the plus sign, choosing to advance his cultivation to the Grandmaster realm.
Six thousand Kill Points vanished instantly, and a vast energy surged into his body.
The power seemed to come from the chaos of the universe, suddenly appearing within him, rapidly strengthening his flesh and bones, quickly breaking through the realm barrier.
His abundant Innate True Qi began to boil, his blood and energy burning like a furnace. Every moment, he grew stronger.
His flesh, bones, skin, and tendons seemed to be undergoing a metamorphosis, like a complete transformation.
An immense power was born within him. He could clearly sense the spiritual energy in the world and a certain force.
That force seemed to be the force of the heavens and earth.
Just like a punch has punch force, a sword has sword force.
It was a very mysterious feeling.
At the same time, he felt his mental power growing stronger, his perception of his surroundings becoming extremely clear.
He could clearly sense the falling snowflakes in the sky and their landing points.
He could also clearly feel the breathing rhythms of the soldiers on guard on the city wall.
"Is this the change brought by breaking through to the Grandmaster realm?" Oliver murmured.
He slightly clenched his fist, feeling an immense power gathering in his hand, as if one punch could collapse the city wall.
Of course, this was just an illusion brought by the breakthrough. To truly collapse such a thick city wall with one punch, it would probably take a Great Grandmaster.
At the same time, his bones began to turn golden, his blood crimson, carrying a scorching aura. A single drop could corrode a pit in the ground.
This was the transformation of a Martial Artist's blood after breaking through to the Grandmaster realm. It not only contained immense vitality but also great power.
Looking at the golden Light Screen:
Name: Oliver Sheng
Race: Human
Realm: Early Grandmaster
Cultivation Method: [Great Sun Heart Sutra (Small Accomplishment)] [Wild Bull Strength (Small Accomplishment)] (+) [Blood Fiend Saber Technique (Great Accomplishment)] (Deduction) [Overlord Spear Technique (Small Accomplishment)]
Strength: 120,000 pounds
Talent: Super Archer
Kill Points: 2017
System Upgrade Available
After breaking through to Grandmaster, Oliver's strength increased to a terrifying 120,000 pounds, comparable to the limit of the Blood Transformation Realm of the Wild Emperor.
A single punch should be able to kill a Sea God Tang San without any problem, preventing him from resurrecting his lover.
Oliver took a step forward, walking in the air, leaping from the city wall to the outside.
Breaking through to Grandmaster allowed him to briefly walk in the air. Flying in the sky, Oliver felt the change.
It was as if he had mastered the force of the wind, stepping on it, using it to lift him, walking in the air.
Walking on the snow, he could leave no trace, not a single footprint.
Oliver joyfully flew through the air, experiencing the feeling of truly flying.
In the time it took for half a stick of incense to burn, Oliver had flown several miles outside the city.
He clenched his right fist, punching towards the ground. The terrifying True Qi boiled, and the punch imprint was like a blazing sun.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, a ten-meter diameter crater appeared on the ground.
Seeing such terrifying destructive power, Oliver clicked his tongue. Now, with a casual punch, he could kill a large number of Barbarian and Hun soldiers.
What he didn't know was that a newly broken-through Great Grandmaster Martial Artist's single-arm punch strength was also only 120,000 pounds.
