The wine that Du Sikang mixed was characterized by its purity, without any impurities. When the wine was poured into the glass, it was already covered with a faint layer of ice mist.
Ji Dong picked up the glass and took a sip. Suddenly, the cold wine filled his mouth, and the rich complex aroma instantly exploded in his mouth. The touching feeling in that instant made him intoxicated. The pure taste spread from the tip of his tongue to the root of his tongue, and the taste exploded again and again, bringing him new surprises again and again. Ji Dong clearly knew that if it was him in his previous life, he could only achieve this level at most, or even be inferior. Especially in this glass of wine, the ability to fuse various tastes was not something that he could achieve in his previous life. This was accomplished by Du Sikang with the stimulation of the ninth water magic. There was no doubt that this was definitely a top-notch cocktail.
While Ji Dong was tasting, Ah Jin was also tasting. Her expression had also changed. Although she could not taste wine as clearly as Ji Dong, even those who did not know wine could taste the good of this wine. However, she always felt that although this glass of wine was good, it could not make her intoxicated. In terms of taste, this glass of wine was better than the one that she had drunk before by Ji Dong, but it lacked the feeling that made her feel both physically and mentally intoxicated.
"Good wine. Chairman Du deserves the title of God of Wine." There was genuine admiration in Ji Dong's eyes. When he first learned of Du Sikang's title of God of Wine, he completely snorted. At that time, he had just come to this world and did not think that there was anyone in this world who could compare with him in bartending skills. However, he clearly realized that Du Sikang was indeed a bartender of the same level as him. If he could be 20 or 30 years younger and more creative, perhaps he would be his goal.
Du Sikang downed the extra glass of wine in one gulp. The ice-cold cocktail brought with it a surge of alcohol, causing his face to have an additional layer of red. It was also with the help of this glass of wine that the passion in his eyes was reignited.
"Mr. Ji Dong, let's start the second round of the competition." He didn't dare to think back to how Ji Dong looked like when he was mixing the wine. Whenever he thought of that godly technique, his confidence would be greatly affected. He drank this cup of wine to numb himself with alcohol, allowing his mind to be more focused. Even if he wanted to think, he would have to finish today's competition first. He would no longer underestimate Ji Dong, and would definitely give it his all.
"Okay."
After Ji Dong returned to his bartending table, the two looked at each other, showing some appreciation for each other. After cleaning their hands again, they placed one glass of wine after another on the bartending table.
Every time they placed an extra glass on the table, the surrounding bartenders couldn't help but narrow their eyes. They all understood how difficult it was to mix drinks with more than one glass of wine. Different cocktails required different techniques. There was no doubt that in this second round, Ji Dong and Du Sikang would not mix the same cocktail twice. Therefore, with each additional glass of wine, the difficulty increased exponentially.
Soon, both sides took out their ninth glass of wine. In the bartending industry, using nine glass of wine to mix nine cocktails at the same time was called the Nine Lotus Lamp. It was an ultimate technique.
Every bartender present was extremely excited. To be able to see two Nine Lotus Lamps appear at the same time, for them, how lucky was it? They were all looking forward to the continuation of this pinnacle duel. If they thought that they would see a complete victory in the first round, then in the second round, everyone's eyes were wide open and they were completely focused. They were afraid that they would miss a single detail. They didn't want to let themselves have any regrets.
At that moment, Du Sikang's hand reached under the bartending table for the tenth time. Amidst the gasps of the bartenders, he took out the tenth glass of wine.
This was only one more glass. However, adding another glass to the limit of nine was a completely different experience. What shocked the bartenders even more had yet to come. Ji Dong did the same thing. On the bartending table in front of him, there was an additional tenth glass of wine.
Du Sikang's eyes narrowed. He hesitated for a moment, then his hand reached under the table again. The eleventh glass …
The bartenders were so nervous that they almost couldn't breathe. Many of their minds had gone blank.
Even those eight-star bartenders were still training hard to add an eighth bartender, but Du Sikang was already able to add an eleventh bartender?
However, the next moment, the room was filled with gasps of surprise.
Ji Dong didn't stop either. However, this time, he took out three more bottles. Adding the ten from before, there were thirteen in total.
Du Sikang's eyes also froze. Eleven was the limit of what he could do. He needed to use all his mana to support it. He had once thought that if his mana could increase to the level of eight crowns, he might be able to add one more glass. However, Ji Dong actually took out thirteen. That was a whole thirteen. Du Sikang's hand didn't reach under the bartending table anymore. Instead, he quietly watched Ji Dong. If he added one more glass, his mixing skills would collapse. It was very likely that he wouldn't be able to make the last bottle.
"Can you really do it?" Du Sikang asked with difficulty.
The light of confidence in Ji Dong's eyes didn't diminish at all. He said, "Yes."
Du Sikang took a deep breath. "Alright, I think I don't need to embarrass myself anymore. As long as Mr. Ji Dong can prove that you can make thirteen cocktails at the same time, I'm willing to admit defeat."
Ji Dong nodded. "President Du, there's one thing I need to make clear first. I won't easily let others drink the cocktails I make. Of course, you can, but I've made up my mind a long time ago to make different types of cocktails every day. I won't do it more than three times a day. So, how about this? I'll mix cocktails at the same time, but I won't use alcohol. I'll let you clearly see the different techniques I use."
Du Sikang looked at Ji Dong and said in a low voice, "The difficulty is completely different whether there's alcohol in the bottle or not. Mr. Ji Dong should understand this. Even though the difference isn't that big, I'm confident that I can still use thirteen empty bottles."
Ji Dong smiled. "What if it's like this?" As he said that, he moved his hands to the counter. In the next moment, there were five more bottles on the counter. In addition to the thirteen from before, there were a total of eighteen bottles.
"That's impossible." Du Sikang's body trembled slightly. He looked at Ji Dong with eyes full of shock.
Ji Dong said, "President Du, this isn't the first time you've said this to me. I've always believed that nothing is impossible. Eighteen bottles to make eighteen different cocktails. I'll name them the Eighteen Arhats Eighteen Turns."
As he said that, Ji Dong waved his hands lightly, and the eighteen bottles were neatly arranged together. He looked around and said in a clear voice, "Although I won't be using real alcohol, I believe that everyone here is an expert and can understand my technique. Please remember the order, from one to eighteen, the cocktails I will make are: Sunrise, Early Morning, Silver Coast, Red Jade, Sunburn, Afternoon Nap, Angel, Afternoon Death, Masked Devil, Red Dragon, Blue Electric Wave, Frost, Seven Heavens, Halo, Ice and Fire, Eternal Love, Doomsday, Flaming Bar, Burning Passion."
Every time he named a cocktail, the bartenders were shocked. This was because every cocktail he chose had a unique mixing technique. It could be said that it required a lot of effort to make each cocktail individually. However, what he was going to do now was to make eighteen bottles of cocktails at the same time. This was something that the bartenders of the Bartenders Guild, and even the God of Wine Du Sikang, couldn't imagine.
"President Du, please step aside." Ji Dong waved his hand at Du Sikang.
Du Sikang subconsciously dodged to the side. Just as he was about to leave Ji Dong's counter, the heavy counter in front of Ji Dong was kicked away by a loud bang. It was a full three meters away.
The eighteen crystal bottles on the mixing table flew into the air at the same time like eighteen rays of light. In the next moment, Du Sikang clearly saw that Ji Dong's eyes had turned white. White flames danced in his eyes, and his hands were burning with the same light.
Lead, wave, bloom. The eighteen rays of light were waved almost at the same time. Ji Dong disappeared in front of the bartenders, and in the blink of an eye, six figures of him appeared in the air.
That's right, there were six of him. Apart from the Flaming Bar, no one could tell which of the six figures was the real Ji Dong. The afterimages that were created were extremely clear, and the milky white rays danced in the air at the same time.
The eighteen mixing bottles seemed to have found their respective owners. Different halos danced in different directions. The bartenders at the side were shocked to find that the eighteen mixing bottles were flying in the air according to Ji Dong's method of making the eighteen cocktails. Moreover, the order was correct. It started from sunrise and ended with the Flaming Bar's Burning Passion. The eighteen mixing bottles shone with the faint white light.
The faint aura of Chaos made every bartender extremely focused. At this moment, they had even temporarily stopped breathing.
They even covered their mouths, afraid that their screams would affect Ji Dong's unparalleled skills.
This … This … Is this really a standard that a human can achieve?
The six figures were a gift, a gift that Ji Dong had given him after fusing with the second piece of Heaven Jade. Within this piece of Heaven Jade, there was also a skill recorded. It was a mysterious footwork skill called Doppelganger Illusions.
Du Sikang's hands and body were trembling. At this moment, he suddenly realized a fact. It wasn't that Ji Dong didn't use his mana to assist him in bartending, nor was it because he couldn't do it, but because he didn't want to.
At that moment, what was presented in front of him was still pure skills. There was still not a trace of mana fluctuation from Ji Dong's body, but his exquisite control was obviously based on mana. Although Du Sikang did not know what the white light was, he could faintly feel that the white light played an important role in Ji Dong's mixing. Every mixing bottle was moving up and down in the most perfect trajectory. It looked like there were six people mixing the eighteen cocktails at the same time. What a unique skill! Just like what Ji Dong had said, every mixing bottle flying in the air was extremely clear. There were no mistakes. No matter which mixing bottle was focused on, even Du Sikang would not be able to find any flaws in Ji Dong's mixing.
The miraculous Doppelganger footwork was the key to Ji Dong's Eighteen Somersaults of the Eighteen Arhats, but it wasn't the only one. Without the Doppelganger, Ji Dong could use his full speed to create afterimages, but he couldn't maintain them for long, and they wouldn't be as clear as they were now. However, it was different now. The afterimages he created were no different from real people. Relying on his incomparably strong Spiritual Energy and superhuman physique, he had already cultivated the Doppelganger to the third level in the short period of time he came into contact with the Doppelganger. This Doppelganger was also divided into nine levels, just like the Deity Destroyer Strike. Ji Dong hadn't had the time to test out the Deity Destroyer Strike's improvement after the Flame of Chaos had completely broken through, but these three levels of Doppelganger had greatly improved his combat ability, especially in close combat.
At this moment, the magical mixing method of these six figures was not only the credit of Cloning Shadows, but also the Dark Moon Dance, Flying Serpent Flash, and other skills that were related to body movements that Ji Dong already knew. With these skills, Ji Dong was able to complete the 18 Arhats so perfectly.
Conquering. Ji Dong's 18 Somersaults of the Eighteen Arhats had conquered everyone present, including the God of Wine, Du Sikang.
As for Ji Dong himself, he was completely immersed in this wonderful world. A huge amount of mental strength gushed out from the Soul Vortex. The faint white light around his body and the faint white flame on his hands were not the Flame of Chaos, but the Flame of the Soul. The Flame of the Soul coiled in the Soul Vortex.
After ten transformations, the Pearl of Chaos was formed, and the Flame of the Soul was completely independent, forming a Soul Vortex. He truly had the ability to control the Flame of Chaos. In order to complete the magical mixing method of the 18 Arhats, Ji Dong had released his mental strength to the fullest, accurately grasping even the most minute details of each mixing.
Six silhouettes weaved through the air. Everything was perfect, flawless and flawless. The crystal mixer outlined a miraculous scene in the air.
