One of the biggest features of the God of Cookery Tournament was that all the chefs competed together. However, only ten people could enter the finals. Among these ten people, five of them would be the champions of each of the five competitions. The other five would be chosen from those who had accumulated the most points in each of the five competitions, excluding the five champions. The final ten people would then compete in the finals to determine their ranking. During the finals, the ten finalists would also have to make cold dishes, hot dishes, soup, pastries, and special dishes. After a comprehensive evaluation, the points would determine the order of the finalists. There was a harsh condition. If the final winner did not win any of the five competitions, then although he was the winner, he would not be called the God of Cookery. After all, how could he be called the God of Cookery if he did not have an outstanding skill? Of course, the number of finalists was not necessarily ten. If the same person won two competitions, then the number of finalists would be reduced by one, and so on. However, since the beginning of the God of Cookery Tournament, no one had been able to win five competitions at the same time. If that was the case, then there would be no need to hold the finals. The first rule of the God of Cookery Tournament was that if there was a cooking genius who could win five competitions at the same time, then the finals would be canceled, and he would be crowned the Saint God of Cookery. Back then, when Ghost Chef Zha Ji was at his peak, he had only won three competitions. He had been working hard for the title of Saint God of Cookery, but after winning five competitions consecutively, he realized that no matter how hard he worked, he could not reach the peak in every aspect of cooking. He had to give up and become a judge.
Nian Bing had inherited Zha Ji's wish. Aside from that, winning the title of Saint God of Cookery was his biggest goal. Of course, if even Zha Ji was not confident of doing it, then he was even less confident. Although his cooking skills had improved a lot after researching the Seven Element Feast, to say that he could win all five competitions, he had no confidence at all. Just that Little Tian who could use the Yin Yang Harmony Tai Chi Hands was the biggest obstacle in his path.
The biggest difference between the God of Cookery Tournament and the Dragon Challenge Tournament was that although the God of Cookery Tournament was participated by the head chef. The head chef could bring along two to three assistants to help, and the assistants could help the head chef with the cooking. Because the duration of each competition was very short, in a competition where the head chef was not good at, the assistants could play a key role. Of course, there was a limit to the number of assistants. They could only play a supporting role. The actual cooking had to be done by the head chef.
He recalled everything about the God of Cooking Tournament. Nian Bing's heart couldn't help but heat up. Clear Wind Fasting still had Ming Yuan and Ming Hui, the two martial siblings. If they worked together as her assistants, her chances of winning the championship would be very high.
"Uncle Xue, if I represent Clear Wind Sect in the competition, then …. I only have one goal. "
Xue Ji took a sip of the tea that the servant had just brought over. He smiled and said, "I wish you had that kind of strength. I don't think that needs to be questioned. I think Long Zhi also misses you very much. You can go over there and take a look. I will arrange a place for you to stay. "
Nian Bing nodded and said to Garamandis, "Big Brother, you stay here first. I'll go to the Magician Union first."
Garamandis glanced at Xue Ji. He nodded but didn't say anything.
Xue Ji said, "Nian Bing, tell Long Zhi to come to my Clear Wind Fasting tonight. I will hold a welcoming dinner for you."
Garamandis couldn't help but ask, "Then will Miss Xuejing come?"
Xue Ji frowned and said, "Of course she will. How can the successor of my Clear Wind Fasting not come? You're called Long Huo right? I'm seriously warning you, don't bother my daughter again. For Nyan Bing's sake, I can let you stay. But if you sneak into my daughter's room like before, you can blame me for being impolite. "
Nian Bing opened her eyes wide and looked at Garamandis who was a little embarrassed. Sneaking into someone's room like that? No wonder Xue Ji's attitude towards him was so bad. "Uncle Xue, I promise you on behalf of my big brother that he will never do such a thing again. Right, Big Brother Long?" Nian Bing deliberately emphasized the last three words.
Garamandis hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, I definitely won't. I was wrong in the past. " In order to pursue Xuejing, the arrogant him had actually admitted his mistake. It was really hard on him.
Xuejing sat on her bed in a daze. At this moment, her emotions had gradually calmed down. The anger in her heart had disappeared and was replaced by disappointment. Nian Bing, Garamandis and Yan Yun's faces kept replaying in her mind. The three of them gave her three completely different feelings. She had also asked herself before, did she really like Nian Bing? That man could be said to be relentless towards her. Back then, in Binglan City, he was clearly looking for an excuse to send her away. But why couldn't she forget him? What was so good about him? What did she like about him? Handsome looks, powerful magic, or exquisite culinary skills? Maybe all of them. But she hadn't been with him for a long time. When she saw him earlier, why was she so angry? Was it because of love that turned into hatred or was it a psychological reaction from being rejected? Xuejing's heart was in a mess. Even she herself wasn't sure how she felt about Nian Bing.
After Nian Bing, another two men appeared in her life. One was the pestering Garamandis and the other was the handsome and elegant Fifth Prince Yan Yun. Xuejing more or less had a good impression of Yan Yun. It wasn't because of his status, but more because of his outstanding appearance and ability. Towards Garamandis, she was more angry. During those days, he would appear in front of her punctually like a fly and she didn't know how annoying he was. But two months ago, he suddenly left without any warning. She didn't know why but she actually felt a little disappointed. During the days when she couldn't see him, that hateful red figure actually appeared in her mind frequently. If it wasn't for Nian Bing's appearance today, would she be happy? But that hateful fellow's attitude towards her seemed to have changed a little. He no longer bowed to her like before. Who exactly was he? His martial arts seemed to be very strong and even her father couldn't figure out his strength. He had only attacked once and that was against the Warrior's Guild Master. But that was too exaggerated. How was it possible to defeat a Swordsman with a single punch?
The appearance of the three men at the same time made Xuejing's heart even more confused. She shook her head forcefully and sighed secretly. She didn't know how she should choose. She didn't even know who was more important in her heart. But she was sure that the most hateful one was Nian Bing. He actually rejected her feelings. He even used that kind of place to leave on his own. No matter what, she couldn't possibly like him anymore. What was so great about him? Didn't he just know some magic? Thinking of Nian Bing, Xuejing couldn't help but clench her teeth in anger.
"Jing 'er, have you rested?" Xue Ji's deep voice came from outside the house.
Xue Jing jumped in fright and quickly calmed herself down. "Father. "Dad, I haven't rested yet. Please come in. "
Xue Ji pushed open the door and entered. Turning around, his daughter, who looked a little haggard, said with heartache, "Silence, are you still unhappy? Ai, although Nian Bing isn't bad, since he doesn't have you in his heart, why force him? "
Xuejing snorted and said, "I won't feel sad for him. That fellow isn't worthy at all. Father. Do you really intend to let Nian Bing represent our Clear Wind Sect in the competition? Nian Bing won't be able to stay here in the future! At most, we can only borrow his strength to make a name for ourselves. "
Xue Ji sighed and said, "If I had a choice, of course I wouldn't let him represent us in the competition. Nian Bing is like an eagle soaring in the sky. No one can control him. You should be able to see that he's clearly different from before. Not only is his bearing more stable than before, his strength has also greatly improved. "
Xuejing nodded in agreement. Her hundred palms could completely shatter a huge rock, but Nian Bing, as a magician, was able to take it without suffering any injuries. This was too strange.
Xue Ji said, "I've talked to your Uncle Ming. I asked him, if he represented the Clear Wind Sect in the competition, would he be able to get a place? Guess what your Uncle Ming said? Your Uncle Ming said that he doesn't have the qualifications to participate in the God of Cookery Competition. Even Ming Hui, who has already surpassed his master, would only be able to get in. Only with Nian Bing's culinary skills would he be able to get a good place in the competition. "
Xuejing said in shock, "Isn't Uncle Ming belittling himself too much? With his culinary skills, he should be able to get a place in the competition. At least, Uncle Ming's skills in cooked wheaten food are rarely surpassed. Why would he say such a thing? "
Xue Ji sighed softly and said, "I've also carefully considered this matter. Actually, your Uncle Ming's words are very correct. No one knows their own strength better than he does. Our Clear Wind Sect is indeed doing well in Ice Snow City. With the two senior siblings, Ming Yuan and Ming Hui, we were able to achieve this. However, looking at the entire continent, there are many talented people in the culinary world. This is not something we can imagine. Not to mention you, even I am a frog in a well. You've seen Nian Bing's culinary skills. How do you think he compares to Ming Yuan? "
Although Xuejing hated Nian Bing, she would not belittle Nian Bing's culinary skills. After all, her memory of that moment was too clear. "Nian Bing's culinary skills are indeed amazing, especially when he uses magic to cook."
Xue Ji said, "When a person's culinary skills reach a certain level, it is very difficult to improve. Take your Uncle Ming for example. No matter how much he trains, he will never be able to reach Nian Bing's level. Nian Bing's use of magic to cook is indeed miraculous. However, his basic skills are also very solid. Not to mention other things, his mysterious Ghostcarving Godly Knife is something that even I can't use, let alone a chef who doesn't know any martial arts. For an ordinary person to be able to train his hand speed so fast and so accurately, how much effort must he have put in! This time, since I've already decided, I won't change my mind. I will definitely let Nian Bing represent our Clear Wind Sect in the God of Cookery Tournament. You must always remember, don't let your personal grudges affect the overall situation. Nian Bing has a very good personality. If we become friends with him, it will be extremely beneficial for our Clear Wind Sect's future development. Ice And Fire Chef, these four words aren't just for show. Jing 'er, although your intelligence isn't as good as Rou' er's, it's about the same. However, your flaw is that your temper is too irritable. If you can calm down sometimes, perhaps many things will change. Although Nian Bing looks gentle on the surface, I can easily feel the arrogance in his bones. He is like a piece of steel. If you are also a piece of steel, there won't be any good results if you meet force with force. Even if you can't develop a relationship, can't you just be friends? Having a friend like him is definitely a good thing for you. I've already agreed to let him and that brat called Long Huo temporarily stay with us. You have to know your limits. "
When Xue Ji said that Nian Bing and Long Huo were going to stay with the Clear Wind Sect, Xuejing was shocked. "Father, how can you let Long Huo stay with us? Haven't we been annoyed enough by him?"
Xue Ji smiled bitterly. "It's different this time. He's here as Nian Bing's friend. For Nian Bing's sake, I can't drive him away no matter what. Long Huo has already promised not to harass you. Since you hate him, just ignore him. He's Nian Bing's brother. I don't think he'll cause trouble for Nian Bing. Sigh, that brat Long Huo has a dignified appearance and a manly temperament, but he's too filthy. He actually snuck into your room. No matter how strong he is, I firmly oppose you dating someone like him. "
Xuejing snorted and said, "I want nothing more than to kill him. Why would I date him? However, I can see that his feelings for Nian Bing are very deep. "
Xue Ji said, "Since he's a guest, we can't be too negligent. Alright, you should rest first. Remember what I said just now. Don't make things difficult for Nian Bing."
Xuejing nodded lightly and said, "Perhaps I've vented my anger after beating him up. I don't hate him as much anymore. For the sake of the Clear Wind Sect, I'll control my temper."
Nian Bing walked down the street in a relaxed manner. Everything that had happened in the Clear Wind Sect didn't affect his mood. Facing Xuejing again and taking more than a hundred palms, he felt much more relaxed. The guilt he had felt before had also been reduced. What made him even happier was that he had obtained the right to participate in the God of Cookery Tournament. He had always had a good impression of the Clear Wind Sect, so there was nothing wrong with representing them in the tournament. Even if he couldn't obtain the right to participate in the God of Cookery Tournament this time, he would think of other ways.
In the distance, he had already arrived at the familiar steeple building. A warm feeling rose up spontaneously. The gentle Ling 'er kept flashing in his mind. He recalled the days when he was in the library. He was constantly learning magic knowledge every day, and Ling' er was taking care of him in Gomorrah. However, he still made her sad. Ling 'er was such a good girl. How could he let her down? Thinking of Long Ling's teary eyes, Nian Bing couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart. Quickening his pace, Nian Bing quickly arrived at the entrance of the Magician's Guild. The two magicians standing guard at the entrance looked much more spirited than before. Wearing neat beginner magician's robes, they looked much stronger than before. Nian Bing had never seen these two magicians before. It was obvious that they had joined the Magician's Guild not long ago.
"Hello, Jing Wen. Are you a magician here to participate in the Guild's Guild?" one of the magicians asked.
Nian Bing shook his head. With a flash of light in his hand, he took out the token that symbolized his status as an elder. The two beginner deer magicians saw the token and hurriedly bowed. They respectfully said, "Greetings to the elder. Elder, please enter." Then they stepped aside.
Nian Bing was just about to walk in when a familiar voice sounded, "Oh, who are you?" A slender figure walked out from the Guild. It was Shi Jiu, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
Nian Bing used his hand to push up the bamboo hat on his head. He smiled and said, "Big brother Shi Jiu, don't you recognize me?"
The two beginner magicians were stunned when they saw Nian Bing's young and handsome appearance. They obviously didn't expect this elder to be so young.
Shi Jiu was also stunned when he saw Nian Bing. "Nian Bing, you're back." His expression was a little complicated. However, the light in his eyes was kind.
"Let's go, let's go in together." Shi Jiu stepped forward and patted Nian Bing's shoulder. He led him inside.
After not seeing him for a long time, Shi Jiu's temperament seemed to have changed. It wasn't just because of the increase in magic power. At the same time, Nian Bing could clearly feel that Shi Jiu's aura seemed to be much calmer than before.
As they walked. Shi Jiu said to Nian Bing, "Nian Bing, thank you."
Nian Bing smiled and said, "I am a member of the Guild. Increasing the glory of the Guild is what I should do."
Shi Jiu shook his head and said, "No. I'm not referring to this. I'm doing this for Ling 'er. At that time, after you left, I discovered that there was something wrong with Ling 'er. Her smile from before was gone. Seeing her become haggard day by day, I really felt bad. I had a sincere talk with her before I found out that it was you who stole her heart. Nian Bing, do you know? At that time, I wanted to tear you to pieces. However, Ling 'er's words made me understand many things. You don't need to ask what she said to me. I can only tell you that I now see Ling 'er as my most precious sister. Although my magic is not as good as yours, if you dare to bully her in the future, I won't let it go. Indeed, you are more suitable for her than I am. I'm not worthy of her! "As he said this, he stopped and smiled at Nian Bing.
Nian Bing looked at Shi Jiu in a daze. After all, his change was too big. He couldn't accept it for a while. "Big brother Shi Jiu, I …"
"Alright, don't say anything. You just have to treat Ling 'er well. That's enough. Let's go in. Teacher misses you very much! This time, we have done such a great service for the Guild. We have finally received the recognition of the Ice Moon Empire. Today, we also have an important guest. Since you're back, you can meet him. You can meet Ling 'er later. "
Nian Bing nodded. Out of etiquette, he had to meet Long Zhi first. Hearing Shi Jiu's words, Nian Bing felt much more relaxed. Although he wasn't afraid of Shi Jiu, wouldn't it be better to be able to make friends? Moreover, he didn't have any real conflicts with Shi Jiu.
The two of them quickly entered the main building of the Guild. Shi Jiu brought Nian Bing to the hall on the second floor excitedly. "Teacher, look who's back."
Nian Bing followed Shi Jiu upstairs. There were two people sitting on the sofa in the hall. Behind them, there was another person standing. He knew both of them. One of them was naturally the president of the Ice Moon Empire's Magicians Guild, Wind Mage Long Zhi. The other person was the Ice Moon Empire's Fifth Prince Yan Yun whom he had met not long ago. Behind Yan Yun stood an old man wearing a deep blue robe. As soon as Nian Bing went upstairs, he felt the old man's eyes flash. Through his Heaven's Eye Acupoint, he immediately felt that this old man was extraordinary. An expert, he was definitely an expert.
Long Zhi was talking to Yan Yun with a smile on his face. When he suddenly saw Nian Bing, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he didn't feel as happy as he had expected. Instead, he felt a bit awkward. Long Zhi stood up and said, "Nian Bing, you're finally back. “
Nian Bing glanced at Yan Yun, then bowed to Long Zhi and said, "Teacher." Long Zhi coughed and said, "Come, let me introduce you. This is …" "There's no need to introduce, I've already met brother Nian Bing." Yan Yun took the initiative to stand up. He obviously also understood Nian Bing's identity. "I never expected brother Nian Bing to be the genius magician who helped our Ice Moon Empire make a name for ourselves!" The shock in his eyes couldn't be concealed. Previously, at the Breeze Room, he clearly saw Nian Bing use his body to take on more than a hundred of Xuejing's palm strikes. Could it be that he used magic to defend against those attacks?
Nian Bing said, "Greetings, Your Highness the Fifth Prince."
Yan Yun raised his eyebrows. "Oh, so brother Nian Bing already knows my identity. Actually, this identity thing was given to me by my father. We can just talk as equals." He was currently competing with the other two princes for the throne, so of course he desired talents the most. When he found out that Nian Bing was actually the champion of the Five Nations' New Magician Competition, his tone immediately became much more polite.
Long Zhi frowned slightly and looked at Nian Bing. "So the two of you already know each other. That's great. Nian Bing, you just came back. It must have been hard on you. I will look for you later. Shi Jiu, take Nian Bing to rest. "
Although Nian Bing felt strange, he didn't say anything. He also wanted to see Ling Er and didn't want to delay here. After all. In his opinion. Long Zhi and Yan Yun's discussion was definitely related to politics and such. Those were things that he wasn't interested in.
At this moment, Yan Yun's words set off a huge wave in Nian Bing's heart. "President Long, since our matter has been settled, then I will take my leave first. It just so happens that I want to ask Magician Nianbing about the Bissette situation. Miss Ling Er and I will inform you as soon as possible after I go back and discuss with my father. “
"What? You want to marry Ling Er? "Shi Jiu exclaimed.
Long Zhi said in a deep voice, "Shi Jiu, don't be unreasonable." He scolded Shi Jiu. At the same time, he noticed that Nian Bing's face instantly turned cold.
Yan Yun smiled and said, "That's right. I have long heard that Miss Ling Er is gentle and pleasant. It is my honor to be able to marry Miss Ling Er. "
Nian Bing looked straight at Yan Yun and smiled indifferently. "I'm really sorry. Your Highness, Fifth Prince, Ling Er is my fiancée. How can she marry you? "
Yan Yun was stunned. He couldn't help but look at Long Zhi. Long Zhi said in a flustered and exasperated manner, "Nian Bing, don't talk nonsense. When did Ling Er become your fiancée? You go down first. Your Highness, this is just a misunderstanding. Please don't think too much. "
Yan Yun looked at Long Zhi and then looked at Nian Bing. He frowned and said, "I don't care if this is a misunderstanding or not. I still have to ask President Long to resolve this as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain to my father. Alright, take care of your own family matters. Yan Yun will take his leave. "As he said this, he walked past Nian Bing and walked out.
Just when Yan Yun was about to pass by Nian Bing, a sudden change occurred. A seven-colored radiance burst out from Nian Bing's body without any warning. Yan Yun's body seemed to have solidified and stopped in an instant. How could he compare to the Innate Domain that even an expert like the Dragon King could resist? Seven rays of light lit up at the same time. Magic blades with seven different auras were placed on Yan Yun's vital points at the same time. In an instant, Yan Yun's body didn't dare to make the slightest movement. The intense killing intent from the Qiqi Blade caused his heart to tremble. He couldn't even speak.
When the blue-clothed old man saw that Yan Yun was suddenly restrained, he was immediately shocked. He staggered and rushed towards Nian Bing. A light flashed in Nian Bing's eyes. The radiance of the Qiqi Blade brightened and a surging aura was released. Although he didn't say a single word, that old man Lan Cheng suddenly stopped when he was three meters away from him. He didn't take a single step forward.
Nian Bing released her Heaven's Eye Domain very cleverly. It just happened to envelop him and the Fifth Prince Yan Yun. She spat out word by word with an ice-cold voice, "I don't care what your identity is, and I don't care who you are. Remember my words. If you dare to have any ideas about Ling 'er again, then the next time we meet, your body will be turned into pieces. Also, go back and tell your old man that I have no interest in being an imperial chef. If you want to catch me, then I'll give you a suggestion. Ask the Ice Snow Goddess to come. "At the same time, the radiance disappeared as if nothing had happened. Yan Yun fell forward a few steps. His eyes were filled with shock. At that moment, he clearly felt that death was so close to him.
Elder Lan Yong angrily roared. His body rushed towards Nian Bing as fast as lightning. Silver light burst out. It was Swordsman's Saint Dou Qi.
If it was in the past, even if Nian Bing obtained the Seven Magic Blades, it would be very difficult for her to contend against Swordsman in such a close distance. However, she was no longer the Nian Bing of the past. Her gradual mastery of the Ice and Fire Origin Magic, as well as the opening of her Heaven's Eye Acupoint, had already sent her to the top of the continent's mages. The distance of three meters suddenly became very far in front of Elder Lan Yong. His surroundings were completely covered by the seven-colored radiance. Seven shadows appeared in front of him. Each radiance was so real, yet so illusory. The seven ghostly shadows crossed each other. Elder Lan Yong only felt that his body was numb. He couldn't even gather the Dou Qi in his body.
The seven-colored radiance disappeared once again. Nian Bing walked step by step in front of Elder Lan Yong, who was standing there in a daze. She said indifferently, "You're already so old. Why do you still want to work for others? I don't want to kill anyone, so you're lucky. I used seven types of magic to seal your meridians. It will only be removed after a month. Take your master and leave. "
Long before Nian Bing went to the Capital City, he had relied on the fusion of magic to fight to a draw with Elder Feng Ren, who was at the level of Swordsman. Now that he had the Heaven's Eye Domain, he didn't need to fear any warrior. When a mage's magic could predict the situation, it would be very difficult for a warrior of the same level to win. With the wonders of the Heaven's Eye Domain and the seven magic blades that could be used freely, how could a Swordsman be Nian Bing's opponent? Although his victory was related to the surprise attack, at the same time, it also showed his powerful strength. Although Saint Dou Qi was strong. Wind, Moon, Net, Attack! However, in the Heaven's Eye Domain, Nian Bing could clearly grasp the attributes of her opponent's Dou Qi. Under the effect of weakening the Dou Qi, she could seal it with magic that completely countered the opponent's Dou Qi. She could immediately achieve the best results. If a Swordsman wanted to contend against Nian Bing, they had to first not be enveloped by his domain. Otherwise, they would have no chance.
The blue-robed elder and Yan Yun left. Yan Yun had a very strange look in his eyes when he left, but Nian Bing could still easily detect the sinister aura coming from Yan Yun's body with the help of his Heavenly Eye Acupoint. However, this was no longer important to him. In order to protect Ling 'er, he didn't care who his enemy was. After enduring for so many years, he finally had the strength to stand on the mainland. He knew what Bai Ji should do.
"Nian Bing, what have you done? Do you know how important this opportunity is to the Union? "Long Zhi angrily shouted.
Nian Bing turned to look at Long Zhi. His gaze was somewhat cold as he nodded, "Of course I know how important this is to the Union. To the Union, I'm only a chess piece that can be used. Perhaps even you didn't think that I would be able to take first place in the competition. With me as the champion, the Union's position in the Ice Moon Empire will be greatly increased. This opportunity is simply too hard to come by for someone like you who has been working hard to develop the Union. However, in the end, I'm only a chess piece. Even if my magic is powerful enough to bring more fame to the Union, I'm still only your disciple and a mage. Compared to the Fifth Prince who has a very good chance of inheriting the throne, what am I worth? If we can climb up to him and become the master of the Ice Moon Empire, the benefits to the Magician Union will naturally be great. Under the influence of nepotism, the Magician Union will very likely be able to catch up to the Ice God. After all, the Ice God isn't something that the Ice Moon Empire can completely control. This is a process of mutual benefit. As long as this political marriage is successful, then you will become the future father-in-law of the Emperor. The Magician Union will also be able to truly take root in the Ice Moon Empire. It might even become the strongest Magician Union on the continent. Am I right? My teacher. "
