Chapter 294: Picking Feet Big Man

“Nest stinks, who’s sauerkraut has gone bad? Why is there a smell of spoiled sauerkraut?”

“Damn, it wasn’t there just now, but suddenly it’s here. It couldn’t be someone’s athlete’s foot, could it?”

“I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe!”

As soon as the two Li Family bulls took off their shoes, a wave of foot odor spread over the competition field, causing everyone to cover their noses in disgust.

Li Niu, although previously an athlete, was born with sweaty feet that had earned him the nickname “biological weapon” in the provincial team, and his team members, to keep their distance, even arranged a separate bedroom for him.

Li Xiaoniu can be said to have followed in his father’s footsteps, inheriting his splendid tradition, with a pair of black stinky feet that were equally offensive. The father and son duo, wearing number thirteen, had their neighboring contestants at twelve and fourteen struggling to breathe.

Number fourteen happened to be an English teacher, and the phrase “I can’t breathe” was what he exclaimed while pinching his nose, which translated to: I cannot breathe.

Li Niu, on the other hand, appeared indifferent. His smelly feet had been an issue for more than a day or two, and he was accustomed to people’s frantic expressions. Right now, he wore a smug look and said to the two beside him, “If you can’t handle it, you can always drop out of the race, see, everyone else is fine.”

Number fourteen rolled his eyes. If it weren’t for Li Niu’s obviously strong and unreasonable appearance, he would have considered asking the organizers to remove Li Niu and his son from the group.

However, after receiving a threatening look from Li Niu, the English teacher at number fourteen resigned himself to the situation.

Li Niu looked strong and fierce, and he was the type not to reason with others. If a conflict arose, one would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.

But Li Niu’s foot odor was simply too overpowering. Number fourteen, who was a bit of a clean freak, just couldn’t stand the toxic fumes emanating from these four feet. So, he extended his hand and said to a staff member, “Excuse me, I’d like to request a change of group. I’m suddenly feeling a bit unwell.”

Before he had finished speaking, everyone in Group A immediately raised their hands and said to the staff in unison, “We also want to change groups, our health has been compromised!”

The staff, seeing the agitated contestants, understood the situation immediately.

As the saying goes, one rotten apple can spoil the whole barrel.

The current situation was such that Li Niu’s stinky feet had made it impossible for others to compete; even the staff standing by were tempted to cover their noses and mouths, let alone how miserable contestants number fourteen and twelve must have felt next to Li Niu.

In Group A, only the teams of Xu Fan and Li Niu had not raised their hands to request a change.

Li Niu didn’t mind because these were his and his son’s feet; he wouldn’t find himself distasteful, and he had long been accustomed to the smell.

As for Xu Fan, as soon as Li Niu had taken off his shoes, he had casually laid down an Inner Breath Formation around himself and Tongtong. This formation was usually used by Cultivators when exploring unknown and dangerous terrains because such desolate places might be filled with colorless and odorless spiritual poisonous gases, against which even powerful Cultivators could not defend.

Therefore, a qualified Cultivator would generally use this Inner Breath Formation that allows one’s breath to circulate internally instead of externally. However, this formation also had time constraints that were directly linked to the Cultivator’s strength.

Xu Fan only had the strength of the late Qi cultivation stage by now, and this formation could likely only last for about four hours.

However, that was completely enough for Xu Fan and Tongtong to withstand the Li Family father and son’s biochemical attack.

In front of Xu Fan, Tongtong, who had been shielded by the Inner Breath Formation from the beginning, smelled nothing abnormal and looked at Xu Fan with curiosity, asking, “Daddy, what’s wrong with them, why are people coughing and vomiting… Are they sick?”

“Haha, they’re not sick, they’ve been smoked out by Player No. 13’s foot odor,” Xu Fan said with a laugh, stroking Tongtong’s little head.

“Eh, shouldn’t feet be fragrant? Tongtong’s feet are fragrant,” said Tongtong with a bit of cuteness, lifting her delicate feet and pretending to sniff them. Tongtong’s body always carried a pleasant fragrance, so after she squatted down and sniffed her little feet, she shook her head at Xu Fan and said, “Haha, Daddy, Tongtong’s feet smell so good.”

Xu Fan had a face full of black lines.

Although Xu Fan was aware that the little princess Tongtong’s feet were indeed fragrant, he definitely did not want Tongtong to grow up to be a girl with the habit of digging her feet. So he patted Tongtong’s little head and pretended to be stern, telling her, “From now on, you’re not allowed to sniff your own feet, got it?”

“Um, Tongtong got it,” Tongtong obediently nodded her head.

Li Xiaoniu, standing to the side, seeing Tongtong’s cute action of sniffing her feet, unexpectedly gave a “tch” sound, seemed a bit unwilling to be outdone, and squatted down too, bringing his head close to his dark feet.

“It’s just feet. I dare to smell them too… ack…” Li Xiaoniu had just approached his feet when a strong stench hit him square in the face. Before he could take a deep breath, he began to vomit profusely.

“Xiaoniu, what’s wrong with you?” Li Niu, seeing his son foolishly copying Tongtong by sniffing feet and now choking to the point of continuous vomiting, felt a pang of distress.

He once again blamed Xu Fan for causing his son to lose his condition before the competition.

“Player No. 13, may I ask if your team can continue to participate in the competition? If not, we suggest you withdraw for now.” The staff member, seeing Li Xiaoniu almost faint from the smell of his own feet, approached Li Niu from two meters away, holding his breath as he spoke.

“Of course, we’re participating, we’re the team that’s going to be champions!” Li Niu replied forcefully.

At that moment, Li Xiaoniu, who was vomiting on the ground, also stubbornly stood up. Although he looked a bit pale, he said excitedly to the staff member, “We’re fine, we can definitely do it.”

“Alright,” the staff member turned to Xu Fan and asked solemnly, “Sir, how about for the first match, your team and Team No. 13 go first, and we’ll arrange the other people’s matches for the second round? The results will be determined based on the time taken to complete the competition.”

“No problem!” Xu Fan slowly nodded.

The big battle was about to erupt.

The families of the dozen or so contestants who had nearly passed out from Li Niu’s foot odor had already evacuated from the battlefield, leaving only Xu Fan with Tongtong, alone facing the Li Family father and son.
