At that moment, Jun Qingxiao was bewildered. When he saw the carrot that Bu Fang had carved, his soul shivered.
Goosebumps rose all over his skin. He was dumbstruck at his spot.
In his mind, he felt like a giant alligator was opening its mouth to attack him. The terrifying aura burst out in just a blink of an eye. He couldn't help but pale, taking several steps backward.
So scary … What's that thing after all?
His mental energy gathered to wash away the scene in front of him. What appeared in front of him was the exquisite white jade carving of the alligator on Bu Fang's stove.
Bu Fang looked at him indifferently, the corners of his mouth curling up.
"What … What's that? Why can it move? "Jun Qingxiao was shivering inwardly. He looked at Bu Fang and asked.
It could move?
Bu Fang was surprised. A moment later, the curve of his mouth became bigger.
"You're wrong. It can't move," said Bu Fang.
Jun Qingxiao didn't believe him. He came closer and assessed the White Jade Alligator from head to toe. Suddenly, he took a deep breath.
"Did you use the worst carrot to carve it?" Jun Qingxiao couldn't believe it, so he screamed in surprise.
He used a trashy kitchen knife and a rotten carrot, but he could carve such a beautiful and charming work.
This man in front of him …
Who was he after all?
Jun Qingxiao lifted his head, his pupils shrinking. He gazed at Bu Fang and took a deep breath, his mind frightened.
From a distance, the old man with a handlebar mustache brought the stiff-faced man and the beautiful woman. His face was stern.
Under people's gazes, the three of them walked to Bu Fang's stove.
Jun Qingxiao shuddered inwardly. He hurried to return to his seat, stooping as if he was nervous.
Bu Fang looked at the three of them, his face still calm.
"This is your work?" The old man with a handlebar mustache observed the White Jade Alligator from a close distance. He took a deep breath and then turned to Bu Fang, asking seriously.
"If it's not mine … then whose is it? It's all thanks to that weird-shaped garbage white jade radish. Otherwise, I wouldn't have planned on carving this thing, "Bu Fang said.
The expression of the woman behind the old man immediately turned cold. She could hear the sarcastic tone in Bu Fang's words and could not help but snort inwardly.
The stiff-faced man stared at the White Jade Crocodile. His eyes slightly shrank. A long while later, he sucked in a deep breath through his teeth.
"This White Jade Crocodile … is so terrifying! It seems to have a soul!"
"Very good, young people are full of vigor." The old man with a handlebar mustache didn't say anything. He just gave Bu Fang a deep look. A moment later, he brought the stiff-faced man and the woman away from Bu Fang's position.
As Bu Fang watched the three of them leave, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Um, how much longer … I'm in a hurry."
Jun Qingxiao's face stiffened. This man didn't know how to live or die … He didn't want to hurry!
It was a provocation!
Right when Jun Qingxiao thought that the other Great Masters would be enraged, he found that they just paused for a while before continuing to move forward.
"Got it …"
The old man with a handlebar mustache's faint voice arose.
Everybody halted. A moment later, they looked at Bu Fang with disbelief.
What was going on?
Did the Sixth Elder answer that kid? Could it be that even the elders despised them for being too slow?
Some of them had tears in their eyes. It wasn't their fault that they were slow … It was that kid who was too fast!
Many people felt indignant and sorrowful.
However, this indignation quickly turned into fright. They looked at Bu Fang with only fear left in their hearts.
This man's knife technique … Why was it so monstrous?
From what the Sixth Elder had said, he apparently appreciated that kid's work a lot. In such a short time, he could carve such a marvelous work.
This kind of competence … Even a first-grade chef couldn't compare to him!
Jun Qingxiao was the most astounded one. He thought that Bu Fang was just here to watch the show. He didn't expect that the other was in a hurry.
The bald man's eyes showed his indignation. His work was done, but it seemed Bu Fang's work wasn't as good as his.
As arrogant as he was, of course, he was irritated. He pinched the head of the spirit beast snake in his hand, exerting more force.
The snake's body coiled around the bald man's arm.
"Alright, the Knife Skill Challenge is over. Everybody, stop what you're doing."
When the last bit of ash was burned, the time it took for an incense stick to burn was up.
The beautiful woman called everybody to stop. Everybody placed their kitchen knives on their stoves.
The stove was in a mess, and the radish shavings were flying everywhere. All the noise finally came to a stop.
Each of them had a finished or unfinished product on their stoves.
All kinds of special works were displayed.
The woman swayed her hips as she slowly walked past them, collecting the kitchen knives in their hands.
When she came to Bu Fang, looking at Bu Fang's calm face, she couldn't help but snort.
"It's time to eliminate this kitchen knife," said Bu Fang.
A moment later, Bu Fang threw the knife to the woman.
The woman caught the knife. Her face changed as she looked at Bu Fang disbelievingly.
"You …"
Bu Fang waved his hand, indicating that he was begrudging.
The woman was speechless. The array in the kitchen knife shattered completely, as if it was torn apart by a brutal force.
She knew that it was because the chef's skill was too strong, which was beyond the knife's capacity.
This young chef's competence … She needed to estimate it carefully.
The old man with a handlebar mustache clasped his hands. The three of them slowly walked over from a distance, evaluating each piece of work.
"What's this? Flashy but useless. Form and Spirit Scattering. Get lost. "
"Do you think you're playing with mud? What's this toy? "
"Are you stupid? Such a big piece of radish, and you carved a ball for me at the end? Do you think I need you to carve a ball? "
…
The old man with the handlebar mustache looked kind, but along the way, he had scolded many contestants.
Some of them didn't dare to lift their heads after being scolded. They looked like they were constipated.
He was an Elder. He had the right to speak. What could they do?
Along the way, many contestants had been eliminated. They thought that it would be easy to pass the Knife Skill Challenge. But … the result was cruel.
The stiff-faced man and the beautiful woman exchanged looks. They could see the begrudging look in each other's eyes.
Today, the old man was hot-tempered. Those contestants were unlucky.
Facing the hot-tempered old man, Jun Qingxiao was so scared that he shivered. Indeed … This Elder was as terrifying as the rumors said.
Was he going to be eliminated too? So scary.
Bu Fang didn't care. He leaned on his chair, squinting.
His calm appearance made Jun Qingxiao more anxious.
The old man with the handlebar mustache finally came to Jun Qingxiao's stove. With a dark face, he looked at Jun Qingxiao and then at his work.
It was a blooming flower. Its petals were as thin as a cicada's wings. While it was swaying, it emitted a beautiful radiance.
Eventually, the old man didn't scold him. He just observed it for a while, then extended two fingers to stroke his handlebar mustache.
"Not bad."
Looking at this white jade flower, the old man nodded, giving his compliment.
Jun Qingxiao stooped and lifted his head. His tense body shivered at this moment.
Did he just get complimented?!
Jun Qingxiao suddenly had an urge to cry. He was always denied and never praised. Now, he got complimented!
His heart was instantly filled with happiness.
The old man patted Jun Qingxiao's shoulder, then walked to Bu Fang.
He didn't look at Bu Fang's work. He just looked at Bu Fang indifferently, his eyes so oppressive.
The atmosphere seemed to have turned hostile at this moment.
The stiff-faced man and the beautiful woman didn't know why the Sixth Elder suddenly targeted this kid.
"Tell me, what did you carve?"
Asked the old man solemnly.
"A crocodile," answered Bu Fang with his brows arched.
A crocodile? Was it just an ordinary crocodile?
This young man wasn't being honest.
The stiff-faced man gazed at the crocodile for a long time. His mind seemed to be swallowed by the crocodile. He was so scared that he hurried to move his eyes away.
"What's wrong?" The beautiful woman was skeptical.
The stiff-faced man's face twitched.
"You still don't recognize what this young man is carving?" The stiff-faced man took a deep breath, his eyes frightened.
The beautiful woman was bewildered. She turned around, looking at the white jade crocodile.
A moment later, her red lips parted. She covered her mouth with her delicate hand, her face disbelieving.
"It … It's the monster in the Sunset Lake!" The beautiful woman screamed in fright. She couldn't believe what she saw.
Many people in the Valley of Gluttony didn't know about that terrifying monster. However, the stiff-faced man and the beautiful woman were the Elder's apprentices. Of course, they knew how terrifying it was.
They had never thought that this young man could carve such a monster!
"Green Tooth Ancestral Alligator! You, a little chef, actually know this kind of terrifying savage beast? Who … are you? "asked the stiff-faced man sternly. His eyes were like sharp swords, gazing at Bu Fang.
"You know the Green Tooth Ancestral Alligator … I heard that the Sunset Lake had an uproar yesterday. Is it related to you? The Green Tooth Ancestral Alligator was enraged. It attacked the seal and almost broke it, "said the mustached Elder.
His eyes were so stern, with a divine light that could make people shiver. No one dared to meet his eyes.
"Oh … I went fishing. I was careless and lured that beast," said Bu Fang.
The stiff-faced man and the beautiful woman were a little peerless. What did he mean by fishing? Fishing in the Sunset Lake … Are you f * cking kidding me?
There were so many beasts in the Sunset Lake, and the Green Tooth Ancestral Alligator was strangely ferocious.
You, a weak kid, went fishing.
The important thing was … you walked out alive.
Young people nowadays … None of them could be trusted!
The old man looked at Bu Fang, squinting. Eventually, he took a deep breath. He rose his hand, pressing on the Green Tooth Ancestral Alligator's carrot sculpture. True energy surged, and the carrot sculpture exploded into pieces, scattering on the ground.
"You pass. However, it's better not to carve this kind of beast. The better you carve, the easier it is for the beast's spirit, energy, and soul to harm you," said the old man. Then, he stroked his mustache and walked away.
"Prepare for the next challenge, the Fire Control Challenge."
The old man looked at Bu Fang. Then, he flicked his sleeves and turned around.
Fire Control Challenge?
Everybody was bewildered.
What was there to test about Fire Control? Could it be that, as a chef, he had to play with flames?
