The news that Supreme Ting Feng, the master of Heavenly Book Building, was cut out by the Knight King of Western Continent with the Sword of Judgment in Immortal Seven Area, and his crime was soon spread throughout the City of Immortals.
For these speculators who had completely lost their bottom line, people naturally despised them. Wang Lu also took this opportunity to further strengthen his control of public opinion. He blamed the master of Heavenly Book Building and the others for the consecutive defeats in the first month.
If these people didn't secretly make their move, the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals would have just avoided the sharp edge and kept a low profile, and would not have been completely reduced to being beaten up.
During this period, the many crimes of Supreme Ting Feng and his gang were constantly exposed, including designing traps for those loose cultivators, and even openly poisoning them so that they had a high chance of winning, but in the end, they died tragically on the battlefield … Most of the one-month losing streak was caused by these people.
If this propaganda argument was seriously examined, it would naturally be untenable. The strength of those loose cultivators could be seen at a glance. Let alone holding them back, even if all the resources of the Wanxian League were assembled to carefully arm them, they would still be unable to escape death — at most, they could retain one or two points of dignity when they died.
However, when the overall situation was absolutely unfavorable, they could only rely on this propaganda strategy to stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible.
If people's hearts were unstable, it would be difficult for the Wanxian League, this huge and sophisticated organization, to exert its full strength. Especially for the large number of low-level cultivators, they were the most vulnerable, but their role was irreplaceable.
For example, when Wang Lu developed the Wisdom Sect, he used the power of a large number of ordinary people to collect basic resources. Under the rule of the Wanxian League, thousands of Foundation Establishment and Xudan Stage cultivators could also play a great role. Among other things, the female cultivators who gathered in B9 Area these days had greatly eased the entertainment problem of the cultivators who were struggling in the front line.
If these low-level cultivators lost confidence in the Grand Competition, the situation faced by the Wanxian League would only be worse. Therefore, even if he used deceptive means, Wang Lu insisted on carrying out the propaganda strategy to the end.
Of course, with the passage of time, no one would become blind. Therefore, a few inspirational victories were imminent.

"Aya … Although I'm really sorry to bother you, I don't have too many suitable candidates except you."
Aya smiled when she heard this. "With our friendship, why do you say such polite words? As long as you need me, I can be your sword at any time. "
"Heh, as expected of the righteous Knight King." As Wang Lu spoke, he sighed deeply. "Then I'll have to trouble you this time. The battle will be difficult, so don't force yourself."
However, Aya slightly raised her eyebrows. "If it's not difficult, then there's no reason for me to make a move. Don't worry, although Dixian is powerful, I still have a chance of winning. If I go all out, I have a 50% chance of winning against a Dixian like Xuan Mo. "
Wang Lu was simply amazed by Aya. Xuan Mo was indeed not the most powerful person in Dixian, but even the number one person in Nine Regions, Supreme He Tu, didn't dare to say that he had a fifty percent chance of winning against her — the previous victory was purely because the opponent surrendered to him. This Aya really has a big tone!
However, considering her consistent unwillingness to admit defeat and revolutionary optimism, it was not that Wang Lu couldn't understand her confidence. It was just that, if he really believed it and sent her to fight against a group of murderous Dixian … Wang Lu really couldn't do such a thing.
However, if he directly refused Aya's kindness, it was easy to be misunderstood as looking down on her, which would then cause more trouble. Therefore, Wang Lu just patted her on the shoulder.
"When the time comes, I'll have to trouble you!"
Aya confidently puffed out her chest. "Don't worry!"
—
Given that the Wanxian League was extremely eager for a victory in adversity, Wang Lu didn't let Aya wait too long.
One day later, the battle to win began. Wang Lu took Aya all the way from Immortal Five Area to an arena in Human Three Area.
According to the ranking of Immortal, Human, and Human, the Human Area was not ranked high. Moreover, the standard of the arena was far less than that of the central arena in Immortal One Area. Let alone the expansion of the space, it had a radius of thousands of miles … It was simply a spacious restaurant. She and Wang Lu stood in the hall of the restaurant. There were only two round tables in the large hall, surrounded by rows of bustling kitchens, and the aroma of the dishes assailed their nostrils.
Aya was very confused. "Wang Lu, are you sure we're not in the wrong place? Why do I feel that this place … is not like a fighting arena? "
Aya said and then looked around. In the kitchens around the hall, there were no less than two hundred chefs and several times more helpers. The kitchens were crowded. Some of them were cooking, and some were stewing … The dishes they cooked were different, but they were equally focused and serious. However, these chefs were only at the level of ordinary people. In the context of the Grand Competition, they were as fragile as ants.
"… Could it be that the difficulty this time is how to deal with the opponent without accidentally injuring the other party? Does it require very precise power control? "Aya showed a slight embarrassment." But I … Very well, in any case, I will try my best! "
Wang Lu patted her on the shoulder and said, "You misunderstood. The reason why this place is not like a fighting arena is that it is not a place for fighting. This is a restaurant, and there is only one purpose for coming here. "
With that, Wang Lu clapped his hands. Immediately, from the left side of the kitchen, several chefs dressed in white brought out a variety of delicious dishes, which filled the table.
"Oh, this …" Aya's eyes flashed involuntarily. "Emerald Star Fish, Grouper Flower Carved Bamboo, and Crystal Rice? These dishes were no less delicious than the Immortal Chicken and the Emperor Jar! Are these for me? "
Aya was lost in thought for a moment, and then shook her head vigorously. "No, no, now is not the time to indulge in food. Although I am very grateful for your hospitality, I need to concentrate on dealing with the strong enemy before the big battle, so I can't be distracted by these pleasures, so, so …"
Aya swallowed with difficulty, and then subconsciously reached out to the table and whispered, "It shouldn't be a problem if I just eat a snack … No, I am a knight who is about to enter the battlefield, so I have to … But some people say that proper nutrition before the battle is more conducive to victory …"
Seeing that Aya's inner struggle was almost about to split into two, Wang Lu, while holding back his laughter, reached out to pick up a wine immortal bag on the table, stuffed it directly into Aya's mouth, and then said in Aya's somewhat ashamed and angry eyes.
"You can eat it boldly. This time, I invited you here to trouble you to eat to your heart's content."
At the same time, in the hall of the restaurant, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of another round table.
It was an extremely fat and burly man, more than eight feet tall and almost the same width … This person's figure and appearance were very strange. His two legs were almost completely sunk into the fat that fell from his upper body. However, his two arms were slender and strong, and his muscles were knotted. His shoulders were wide, and his arms hung down naturally, almost touching the ground … Compared to a human, he was more like a gorilla.
And his face was also impressive. He had mung bean sized eyes, a red nose, and a big mouth that spanned the whole face from left to right. He looked ten percent like a human and ninety percent like a ghost.
After seeing this person, Wang Lu immediately cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Food Immortal."
The man named Food Immortal grinned and said, "You're too polite. This time, your Wanxian League has collected hundreds of ace chefs from Nine Regions, which allowed this old man to have a feast. I should thank you first. However, is this the opponent you found for me? It's actually a Western Continent girl? Hehe, the Western Continent does have all kinds of magical and mysterious places, which are not inferior to Nine Regions. However, when it comes to food culture, it's not even worthy to carry our shoes. You found a Western Continent person, do you want to give up and admit defeat? "
Wang Lu shook his head and said, "If I give up and admit defeat, there's no need for me to come out in person. I came here to win. "
"Hehe, your tone is not small, but I don't know about your ability …" With that, the Food Immortal narrowed his small eyes and carefully looked at Aya. "Well, it looks like you're very strong. If we compete in fighting and killing, I'm afraid this old man will be scared witless. However, if we compete in eating, this old man has never lost. "
Hearing this, no matter how slow Aya was, she found the problem.
"… Wait a minute, Wang Lu, do you want me to compete with him in eating?"
Wang Lu spread out his hands and said, "Didn't I give you a set of competition schedule before? In the cultural competition, there is also a food competition. "
Aya was immediately annoyed and said, "This is ridiculous! I … "
Before Aya could finish, Wang Lu had pressed her arm hard and said, "Aya, I'm not trying to make fun of you. When it comes to the Grand Competition, no one can afford to make fun of you. I believe in your strength, that's why I brought you here. "
"But, I'm a knight with a sword, so I should be on the battlefield …"
Wang Lu sternly said, "This is also a battlefield, no one will treat it as a child's play! And your opponent is a strong enemy worthy of you going all out! The Food Immortal is a Dixian who entered the Dao through food. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone who can compete with him in food! Please, I can't do without you here! "
Aya was silent for a moment and then nodded. "Very well, since you say so … then I'll compete. However, if the opponent is really that strong, I'm afraid … "
Aya was embarrassed to compete with people in a strange place outside the battlefield.
Wang Lu reached out and hugged her, patted the girl's still delicate back and said, "I have absolute confidence in you!"
Aya's face was slightly red. She pushed Wang Lu away and then immediately restrained her expression. She sat in front of the round table and looked at the opposite Food Immortal.
The girl had entered the state of the competition.
"Oh, that's a good momentum." The Food Immortal smiled indifferently and then asked Wang Lu, "Can the competition start?"
Wang Lu nodded and said, "Let me introduce the rules of the competition first … This competition is the Great Gourmet Challenge, which is the quality of the two sides as gourmets. In a while, the chefs around you will serve you with food from all over the world for you to taste. These chefs are peerless chefs from all over Nine Regions, and their cooking skills are beyond doubt. However, according to the requirements of the competition, there will be some flaws in every dish they make. Your task is to find out these flaws. Every time you find a flaw in a dish, you can get one point. If you choose less, you will get no points. If you choose wrong, you will lose one point. The first to accumulate five hundred points wins. "
With that, Wang Lu looked at the Food Immortal and said, "Of course, due to the particularity of the competition, you can first confirm the chefs …"
However, the Food Immortal shook his head and said, "I've already confirmed that they all work independently and have not colluded with you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here. Well, since there's no other gossip to say, I'm going to eat! "
With that, he reached out and grabbed a piece of fat meat and put it into his mouth.
"Hahaha, it's delicious, it's a pity that the heat is a bit off. This should be because the chef deliberately cooked it a bit longer, right?"
Wang Lu smiled slightly and said, "Food Immortal, you get one point first!"
(After lying in bed for two days, I finally came back to my senses … I'll update this chapter first and then make it up on the weekend. By the way, it seems that there are still many people who don't know that the traditional Chinese version of Spirit Sword Mountain has been published. Friends in Taiwan can buy it in major bookstores. Not to mention, at least the cover quality is very good. Each episode also has an extra foreign story, which can be regarded as a good deal. Those who are interested might as well join us.)
