In the Little Glory Palace, a rather astounding event was happening.

On one of the tables, a certain young man was sitting surrounded by people who were gawking at him. In any other setting, this would be seen as rude, but in the current situation it would be strange if they were not doing this.

~CLACK~

Lin Mu finished another plate or ribs and slid the plate to the stack on the side.

By the time he was done with the second plate, a servant came and cleared out the empty plates. Then another servant brought more trays of food.

Even the servants were at a loss as to what was happening. If not for the fact that this was a banquet and all the food was meant for people to eat, they would have never thought there would be someone as gluttonous as this.

‘How can he eat that much?’

‘Is he even human?’

‘His words about body cultivators being close to a beast were rather accurate, seeing him like this…’

The people sitting at the table looked at each other and communicated though their eyes. It didn’t take much for them to guess each other’s thoughts. It was simply too unbelievable.

They even missed the fact that Lin Mu wasn’t the only one eating. Little Shrubby was also consuming food rapidly, despite being in his kitten form. He had already eaten enough food that if it was all gathered, it would be over a hundred times his body weight.

If not for the fact that the tables surrounding blocked the view of Lin Mu, there might have been a lot more people staring at him. The composition would have been a lot bigger too. But right now, Lin Mu was free to eat as much as possible.

Another ten minutes passed by, and Little Shrubby was the first one to be done eating.

By now, the others had grown numb to Lin Mu’s actions and were eating on their own too, albeit a bit slowly. Their eyes still couldn’t leave Lin Mu as if not wanting to miss even a moment of it.

‘I had thought he was joking about his dining manners at first, but this… Is this even considered dining at this point?’ Lu Xu wondered.

To him the amount that Lin Mu had eaten was the same as several beasts. But that wasn’t all, as the food he had eaten was all high quality food made from immortal ingredients. To any normal cultivator, just a couple of plates would be enough to stuff them.

After all, these ingredients had a high concentration of vitality as well as immortal Qi.

There was a reason why a banquet like this could not be afforded by just anyone. They might be able to buy these immortal ingredients sure, but buying them in bulk quantities like these was not simple.

One needed great connections to do so.

This was exactly what Lin Mu intended to take advantage of.

In fact, he could already feel the effects within his body.

‘The Tyrant Bull Marrow secrets is working… I can feel the totem reacting.’ Lin Mu thought to himself, as he continued to eat.

Of course the growth of the totem wasn’t that great, but Lin Mu knew he was basically stockpiling energy. And when the right time came, it would all burst out together, pushing his cultivation base another step forwards.

‘I’ll be able to save up on resources this way.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Even if the food Lin Mu was eating didn’t provide any Immortal Essence, the sheer vitality and Immortal Qi it provided was still enough to act as a stimulant for him. Another thirty minutes went by like this, after which Lin Mu finally stopped.

~CLACK~

The final plate was emptied out and Lin Mu let out a breath of satisfaction.

~Haa~

“That was a great meal.” Lin Mu said with pleasure.

The others couldn’t help but take a second look at the empty plates and the servants with awkward expressions.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Mu finally looked at the others who had stopped midway.

“Ah! Nothing! Nothing!” they hurriedly responded and finished eating.

No one questioned Lin Mu’s actions, and they didn’t know the reason why either. Whether it was simple amazement, or a bit of fear, they just decided to accept it as it is. To them, if Lin Mu could suppress others with just his aura, eating this much was normal too.

“Umm… anyway have you all seen the prospective rankings?” Lu Xu spoke, trying to break the awkwardness.

“Prospective ranking?” Lin Mu raised his brows before thinking of something.

He took out the booklet that had details about the tournament and showed them.

“Do you mean this?” Lin Mu asked.

“That’s outdated now.” Lu Xu shook his head. “They update the rankings every week now.” He replied before taking out a small jade slip.

He placed it on the table and tapped it.

~SHUA~

A formation screen appeared from it, and information rolled in.

“This is the latest ranking that was updated yesterday.” Lu Xu spoke, making everyone look at it deeply.

“The first position is still unchanged. Feng Baxing is still at the top.” Luo Liqin said with a stiff expression.

“The second did change though.” Ming Dandan pointed out. “Childe Wildfire fell to the fourth position.”

“Who’s that in the second position though? They certainly weren’t in the top ten before.” Qian Wen questioned.

“That is Dugu Shanhe… He’s the black horse this time.” Lu Xu answered. “Before this he wasn’t in the ranking at all, but then he had a dominating appearance in one of the other banquets and took over the second position. His cultivation base is also at the Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm.” He explained.

“What did he do?” Ming Aolian couldn’t help but ask.
