Nian Bing said indifferently, "It's true that I didn't pass the preliminary round. I entered the semi-finals with special permission." As soon as he said that, it immediately caused an uproar among the audience. Countless doubtful gazes shot towards the rostrum.
The emcee's expression changed greatly. Of course, he knew how bad Nian Bing's words would be. He looked up at Fatso Hua on the rostrum, whose expression had changed greatly. Just as he didn't know how to deal with it, Nian Bing opened his mouth again. This time, he was facing the hundreds of thousands of audience. "Everyone, don't question the fairness of the competition. Do you want to know why I didn't participate in the preliminary round? It's because it's meaningless to me. I only have one purpose in participating in this competition, and that is to become the champion. Everyone can continue watching. It won't take long. Everything will be revealed tomorrow. " After saying that, he glanced at Little Tian, whose expression was not good. He raised his head and walked off the stage proudly. The audience was silent for a moment. Then, they pointed at Nian Bing's four green peppers and burst into laughter. Obviously, they thought that Nian Bing was bragging. After all, from the beginning of the semi-finals until now, no chef's dish was so ugly.
Walking off the stage and putting on his bamboo hat, Nian Bing quickly blended into the crowd. After all, there were too many people. At first, some people still noticed him, but soon, he was drowned out by the crowd.
Nian Bing lowered his head and kept thinking. What's wrong with me today? I'm not used to being too high-profile. Why did I say something like that today?
The last group of semi-finals ended very quickly. As Nian Bing was the first to finish, his four Green Peppers were naturally the first to go up to the judging panel. The judges at the judging panel looked at the four dark green Green Peppers. Only two of them did not look at them with disdain. One of them was the dragon summoner Hillard, who was specially invited to be a judge for this competition. The other was the immortal chef god, Na Yan. Hillard could remain calm. It was because he had seen Nian Bing's cooking skills. Na Yan was the only one among the judges who could barely see what Nian Bing had cooked.
Hua Fatso glanced at the Demon General Arc Light beside him and said in a low voice, "I think there's no need to taste this dish. It's such an ugly dish. Just based on its color, meaning, and shape, it's not enough to enter the finals. Just now, that chef said that it didn't pass the preliminary round. Is that true? Elder Ling. You are the person in charge of the preliminary round, this … "
Na Yan smiled indifferently and said, "That's right. I allowed this person to not participate in the preliminary round. Just as he said, the preliminary round has no purpose for him. Perhaps, I'm the only one who believes that he will become the champion of this year's Hualong Culinary Competition. "
"Who said that? I also think that Brother Nian Bing can win this competition," Kitty, who was sitting next to Hillard, immediately interjected when she heard Na Yan's words.
Demon Commander Arc Light looked at Hillard in surprise and said, "Did you bring that person here? Old Xi. "
Hillard shook his head and said, "No, my daughter and I have only met him a few times. His cooking skills are indeed very good. I think that these four green peppers aren't as simple as they look on the surface. “
Na Yan smiled and glanced at Hua Fatso. "Fatso, oh Fatso, you've been immersed in cooking for so many years, but you can't even see this. Culinary works are generally judged based on color, fragrance, taste, meaning, and shape. You said that his dish doesn't have the advantages of color, meaning, and shape because you don't know what he did with it. "
Hua Fatso was stunned for a moment and carefully looked at the green peppers in front of him. Previously, he didn't pay attention to Nian Bing's appearance when she was cooking, so he really didn't know what Nian Bing did with the green peppers. He looked at Na Yan in confusion and said, "Elder Ling, you know that although I like cooking, my talent in this area isn't that great. Don't keep me in suspense. What's so special about these four green peppers? Could it be that these four green peppers can compare to Miss Momo's cooking skills?"
Na Yan chuckled and said, "Then are you willing to make a bet with me? I'll bet that that brat Nian Bing will become the champion. If you lose, you'll give me two jars of your precious hundred-year-old wine. If he doesn't become the champion, I won't ask for any compensation from you in the future. How about it? That's fair, right? "
Hua Fatso looked at Na Yan in shock. It had to be known that Na Yan's salary was astronomical. Although the two jars of hundred-year-old wine weren't cheap, it couldn't compare to his salary. However, as a businessman, he wouldn't fight a battle that he wasn't confident in. He chuckled and said, "There's no need for a bet. If you want to drink wine, I'll give you two jars. Hurry up and tell me, what's so special about these green peppers? "
Na Yan turned his head and nodded at Momo. Momo took out a pair of very thin silver chopsticks and handed it to him. Na Yan glanced at the judges and smiled. "Look carefully." As he spoke, he used the silver chopsticks to reach for the green peppers. Unexpectedly, the chopsticks weren't obstructed by the green peppers and went straight in. He gently picked it up and slowly raised the chopsticks. At that moment, everyone saw a strange scene. Under Na Yan's chopsticks, a circle of thin filaments came out from the green peppers. It wasn't a single filament, but rather a combination of six filaments. Although the difference between the other five filaments wasn't obvious, it could still be seen from the surface. The six filaments were evenly arranged. Na Yan stood up and raised his chopsticks even higher. The filaments didn't show any signs of breaking. The whole green peppers became smaller and smaller, but the filaments grew longer and longer.
Other than Na Yan, everyone had a shocked expression on their faces. They couldn't believe that this was real. The green peppers didn't have any special features on the surface, but there was actually such a mystery hidden within.
Na Yan said indifferently, "Now, do you still think that this dish doesn't have any special features in terms of color, meaning, and shape? Among the older chefs, we all know that this dish is called Six Filaments Spiral Pepper. However, the number of people who have actually seen it is pitifully few. Generally speaking, this dish isn't used to eat, but to train one's knife skills. You all should know about the Lotus Cutting Silk Knife Skill. This Six Filaments Spiral Pepper is the result of practicing the Lotus Cutting Silk Knife Skill to the extreme. I know that I can do it too, but I might not be able to do it as easily as that young man. Although this green pepper looks like a whole, it's actually made up of extremely thin green pepper filaments. The five filaments are lamb, pork, beef, horse, and donkey. The five filaments and the green pepper filaments are glued together through the stickiness of the meat filaments. During the process of eating, there isn't a single bit scattered. The flavor of the dish is also because the five filaments and the green pepper filaments are perfectly merged together during the steaming process. That's why it's so unique. Even if this dish doesn't have any special features in terms of color, meaning, or shape, just the taste alone is enough to make up for it. Judging from that young man's calm and fast movements, his attainments in knife skills are definitely the most exquisite in this cooking competition. Now, you should understand why I gave him a bye in the preliminary round, right? For a chef like this, he definitely has the ability to directly participate in the finals. Alright, let's have a taste. "Looking at the astonishment in the eyes of the judges, Na Yan secretly said in his heart. Old friend, old friend, I didn't expect you to have taught such an outstanding disciple. I'm really envious. I hope that the Ghost Chef's skills can once again appear in this world.
Hua Fatso was rejoicing in his heart, rejoicing that he didn't make a bet with Na Yan. Looking at the magical Six Filaments Spiral Pepper in front of him. He really couldn't believe that this was made using only knife skills.
The judges didn't say anything more. They all moved their chopsticks, each picking up some Six Filaments Spiral Pepper and putting it into their mouths. Exclamations of surprise sounded one after another. Just as Na Yan said, just based on the taste alone, this dish was enough to enter the finals. Among the crowd, the one who was the most astonished was Na Yan. As one of the most outstanding culinary talents in the culinary world, Nian Bing's Six Shredded Spiral Peppers had given him a huge shock. Compared to the Six Shredded Spiral Peppers of the past, Nian Bing's Six Shredded Spiral Peppers was much more varied in taste. However, Na Yan couldn't tell where those additional variations came from. After all, a Spirit Chef was a Spirit Chef. After a short moment of thought, he immediately remembered the two knives in Nian Bing's hands. He naturally recognized the Righteous Yang Knife. As for the Morning Dew Knife, although it didn't look conspicuous on the surface, its simple design also left a deep impression on him. Na Yan immediately realized that the changes in the Six Filaments Spiral Pepper must have something to do with the two knives.
Very quickly, the results of the semi-finals were announced. Little Tian, Momo, and Nian Bing had all entered the finals. In order to dispel the doubts of the audience, Fatso instructed the master of ceremonies to display a complete Six Filaments Spiral Pepper in front of the audience. Only then did the audience accept the fact that Nian Bing had entered the finals.
Little Tian had been watching from below the stage. He had been cultivating his culinary arts for many years, so he naturally knew about the famous Six Filaments Spiral Pepper. After hearing the master of ceremonies' explanation, his eyes shone brightly and his fighting spirit rose to an unprecedented level. "Nian Bing, it seems that I still underestimated you. However, the champion of this competition can only be me. Even if I use all of my abilities, I definitely won't lose to you."
Nian Bing walked out from the crowd and headed towards the hotel. If it weren't for the presence of the Spirit Chef Na Yan today, he definitely wouldn't have chosen the Six Filaments Spiral Pepper. After all, without a lot of experience, it would be very difficult for a normal chef to distinguish the secret behind the dish. At this moment, his mood had calmed down a lot. He didn't stroll around Taru City and directly returned to the hotel. After eating something, he once again entered meditation.
… …
On a certain mountain in the Langmu Empire. Clouds and mist were faintly discernible. Gusts of wind blew past, bringing along snowflakes. Due to the high altitude, this place was already a white world. Even those with extremely powerful martial skills would find it very difficult to climb up this mountain range. Only some plants that were extremely resistant to cold could grow here, bringing some vitality to the snowy peaks.
Suddenly, the originally clear sky darkened. A dragon's roar rang out from the distance. A huge white dragon drilled out from the clouds and circled around in the air. It brought with it an intense white light that completely enveloped its huge body. Suddenly, the light disappeared, and a handsome man covered in white clothes appeared on the highest snowy peak.
He looked at his clothes with satisfaction and said to himself in an intoxicated manner, "The more I look at the human body, the more comfortable it feels. It's much more flexible than a dragon body. Not bad."
"Kao Dillis, you're intoxicated by yourself again." The loud and clear voice shook the snowy peak, as if an avalanche could happen at any time. A mass of cyan light fell on the peak like a meteor. Beside the white-clothed Kao Dillis, a young man in cyan clothes suddenly appeared. He looked more handsome than Kao Dillis. His whole body emitted a faint aura.
"Karodiris, is this how you talk to your brother? Recently, you've been hanging out with those white summoners. You're getting more and more talkative. "The cyan clothed man was the wind dragon Karodiris.
Karodiris smiled faintly and said, "Brother, we haven't seen each other in hundreds of years. So you still remember that I'm your brother. But, who was it that stole my high quality silver crystal?"
Kao Dillis' eyes revealed a trace of awkwardness. "This, this can't be blamed on me. You're the wind Dragon King. Why would you want a high quality spatial gem? That thing is only useful to me. You know that we dragons love gems of our element the most, especially high quality ones."
Karodiris reached out his hand unhappily and said, "Now you can return it to me. No matter what, I found that thing. Or, you can give me something of equivalent value in exchange."
Kao Dillis' eyes flashed with anger. "Don't mention it. I wanted to return it to you, but it was stolen less than a year after I got it. Damn, just thinking about it makes me depressed. "
Karodiris said with some disdain, "We haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, and you've even learned how to swear. However, your lies are too fake. Who could steal a gem from your space Dragon King?"
Kao Dillis pointed his right middle finger at the sky and said, "Although I took your silver crystal, I, Kao Dillis, disdain to lie. Damn, it's all because of that bastard Garamandis. Other than him, who else would have the guts to steal from me? You also know that Garamandis' strength is the most despicable among the Seven Dragon Kings. It's impossible to guard against him! Humph, I reckon he'll be here soon. When the time comes, we brothers will attack together. I'm not afraid that he won't submit. You can take back the silver crystal, but I want to vent my anger on that bastard Garamandis. "
Karodiris looked at Kao Dillis' hand gesture and couldn't help but frown. He took a step back and said, "Can't you be a bit more civilized? You're really throwing away the face of us dragons."
At this time, a mocking voice suddenly sounded, "Oh, Carlo! Your brother has always been like this. Having such a brother, I really feel sorry for you. " A red light flashed and a figure appeared in the air, floating slowly towards the snowy peak. It was the Fire Dragon King Garamandis that Kao Dillis hated so much that his teeth itched.
"Garamandis, you bastard, I'll fight you to the death." A silver light flashed and Kao Dillis' body suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Garamandis and suddenly punched towards his chest. In the instant that Kao Dillis' human fist punched out, a silver hexagram suddenly shone brightly. The silver light enveloped Garamandis from all directions.
Garamandis chuckled. In an instant, his entire body emitted a layer of fiery red aura. The red light instantly enveloped an area of a thousand gris. The huge silver hexagram immediately disappeared, and the heat brought by the red light immediately melted the originally towering snowy peak into water. The height of the entire snowy peak rapidly decreased.
The Wind Dragon King Karodiris cursed angrily. He hurriedly rode the wind and circled in the air. Only then did he not get caught in the crossfire.
Garamandis was still floating there, while Kao Dillis was a hundred meters away. He was panting slightly, and his expression had changed a bit. Garamandis chuckled and said, "Kao, I admit that I can't compare to you in terms of running away. However, in terms of combat strength, you are far inferior. If you want to fight me, you'll have to go back and train for a few thousand years. Your sealing technique is ineffective against me. "
The Space Dragon King Kao Dillis angrily said, "Damn it. Garamandis, you freak. You've been holed up all these years. Have you been training every day? "
Garamandis proudly said, "For someone as great as me, even if I don't train for a day, I can easily beat you. Kao, I advise you to save your strength. Wait until I inherit the position of the Dragon God. Maybe I'll treat you better. Hahahaha. " His smug look made Kao Dillis very unhappy, but he also knew that he was no match for him. He could only retaliate with an angry look. "Ptui, ptui, ptui. You want to inherit the position of the Dragon God? Only I have that possibility. Don't think that it's enough just because your attack power is strong. If you want to become the successor of the Dragon God, wisdom is more important. In this aspect, you've always been the worst. "Kao Dillis looked at Garamandis disdainfully, but he did not attack again.
Karodiris floated to the same height, looked at Garamandis, and said, "Old Garamandis, my brother said that you took the Silver Crystal. Is that true?"
Garamandis very naturally said, "Yes! I did take it. That day, I accidentally saw your brother proudly flying off to god knows where. I secretly followed him and heard him say something about how that idiot Karo could find such a good quality Silver Crystal. This time, it's my lucky day. Hehe, with this Silver Crystal, my magic power will definitely increase by a lot. In the future, the Seven Dragon Kings will definitely respect me. " He imitated Kao Dillis very well. Hearing this, Kao Dillis roared angrily and charged towards Garamandis again.
The red flames instantly turned purple, and Garamandis' draconic aura suddenly increased, forcing Kao Dillis to retreat. Although Kao Dillis, as the Space Dragon King, had a deep understanding of space, his magic power was indeed much weaker than Garamandis' at their level. Although technique was still important, absolute power was the foundation. Garamandis did not give Kao Dillis a chance to use any techniques. Relying on pure energy attacks, Kao Dillis naturally could not do anything to him.
"Hehe, Karo, you saw it too. I didn't lie. What I hate the most is your brother's self-satisfied look, so I stole the Silver Crystal. At that time, he chased me for tens of thousands of miles, wanting to snatch it back. Unfortunately, although I was not as good as him in technique, it was not easy for him to hurt me with his strength. In the end, he could only give up dejectedly."
Karodiris glared at his brother and said angrily, "I even called you brother. You're becoming more and more obscene, just like Kitty's summoned fox. Garamandis, I don't care what happened back then. Give me back the Silver Crystal. As for the matter between you and my brother, I can't be bothered. You can fight however you want. "
Garamandis spread out his hands and said, "Karo, it's not that I don't want to give it back to you, but later on, I used your Silver Crystal to make a blade and gave it to a human. I can't give it back to you even if I want to. "
Karodiris said angrily, "Garamandis, don't tell me you want to covet my treasure? Others don't know where your Earth Dragon's nest is, but I know very well. Be careful, or I'll steal your treasures. "
Garamandis' expression didn't change as he said, "I'm telling the truth. You also know that although I have a little problem, I, the great Fire Dragon King Garamandis, never lie. Besides, I don't need to lie to you. That Silver Crystal is useless to me, so I really gave it away. If you really want it, you can ask that human for it yourself."
Kao Dillis rolled his eyes and said, "Little brother, I'm not the kind of person to pick a fight, but if others take my things, I can't stand it."
Garamandis made a disdainful gesture at Kao Dillis. "If you're not a f * cking troublemaker, then I'm a gentleman. Kao, if you're not convinced, then let's fight."
"Oh, you're all here. It seems that the two of us are a bit late." The two of them, one gold and one black, were really a bit late. Two balls of light, one gold and one black, rapidly approached from afar. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived in front of the three Dragon Kings. With a flash of light, the two figures of Garamandis quickly shrank. A man and a woman stopped beside the three of them. Their position just happened to separate Garamandis from Kao and Dillis.
The golden-clothed woman was very tall. Her slender and plump figure could definitely be regarded as a peerless beauty of the human race. Her long golden hair draped over her back. Her whole body was filled with a holy aura. Under the faint golden luster, she was as moving as a goddess descending to the mortal world. His right thumb and index finger kept moving in front of him, emitting beautiful golden flowers.
The black-clothed man looked extremely cold on the surface. Standing beside the golden-clothed woman, he didn't utter a word. His somewhat pale face looked very grave and stern. However, whether it was Carlo, Kao, or the arrogant Garamandis, their gazes were fixed on his handsome yet pale face. The previous quarrel immediately stopped.
The golden-haired beauty smiled sweetly and said, "Why aren't you saying anything? Weren't you quarreling very loudly just now? Continue. Continue! "
Kao Dillis laughed mischievously and said, "Dimanteti, don't make fun of us. You also know that we were just messing around. I didn't expect you to come so quickly. Boss Kagerosis, you look pretty good!"
The black-clothed, black-haired Kagerosis's eyes flashed coldly and he spat out two words, "Nonsense."
Kao Dillis seemed to have a strong fear of Kagerosis and didn't say anything else. He laughed dryly and did not say anything else. On the other hand, Garamandis appeared very calm. He smiled and said, "Kageyoxis, both of you are here. How come Bing Bing and the Dark Dragon King are husband and wife? This is practically unimaginable.
Dimanteti said with a smile, "Garamandis, it looks like your strength has improved quite a bit these years! Kagerosis's mood hasn't been very good recently. If you want to fight, you can exchange pointers with him. I won't interfere.
Garamandis snorted and said, "Don't make sarcastic remarks. Who doesn't know that you, the eldest miss, are always protecting her own? Kagerosis is your husband. Not to mention that I can't beat him, even if I beat him, would you let it go? Sometimes, I really don't understand who is the light and who is the darkness between the two of you.
Kao Dillis laughed mischievously and said, "Dimanteti, I'm not the kind of person to pick a fight. However, if I were you, I wouldn't do it. “
"Shut up." Kagerosis shouted impatiently. Kao Dillis' body shook and he immediately closed his mouth with an apologetic smile.
Dimanteti giggled and said, "Garamandis, your courage seems to be a lot smaller than before! Didn't you always want to challenge Kagerosis in the past? Why are you shrinking back now? Don't worry. I don't have the ability to help him now. Our baby is about to be born. I don't want to affect the fetus. " As she said that, she looked at her flat belly with a blush. Her current appearance was completely an illusion and not her original body, so there were no signs of pregnancy.
Kagerosis's cold and arrogant face revealed a rare touch of gentleness. He looked up at Garamandis and said, "Are you interested?"
Garamandis's eyes revealed a trace of sadness. He shook his head and said, "Not interested. Congratulations. This time, we didn't gather together to fight. Let's wait for Bing Bing and Fatso to come and discuss proper business. "
Dimanteti looked deeply at Garamandis and said with a smile, "They won't be coming. I received a message from them. Bing Bing has recently completed the last transformation and is about to completely transform into the Dragon King form. Fatso said that he is going into seclusion, so he won't be coming either."
"Seclusion? That damn Fatso will be in seclusion. His dragon belly is so fat that he can't fly. I think he must have gone to the beach to eat. Dimanteti, we should think of a way to help him lose weight. "Kao Dillis said in a strange tone.
Garamandis nodded and said, "Kao Dillis is right. Among the seven of us, Fatso loves to eat more than me. That guy doesn't have any taste when it comes to eating. He only knows how to win with quantity."
Dimanteti looked at Garamandis with some surprise and said, "So you are saying that you have a good taste when it comes to eating? I remember that when you ate with Fatso, you didn't look much better than him. "
Garamandis snorted and said, "It's different now. I specially hired the best chef. Eating is an art. Eating the best delicacy, even if it's just a bite, is much better than eating hundreds of pounds of ordinary food. Delicacies need to be tasted."
Dark Dragon King Kagerosis looked at Garamandis with some surprise and said, "That makes sense."
Dimanteti looked at Garamandis with surprise, "Professional chef? Garamandis, you didn't forget the Dragon God's instructions, right? We can't harass humans. "
Garamandis snorted and said, "That human was willing to cook for me. Besides, I also gave him a reward."
Wind Dragon King Karodiris who had been silent all this time said with dissatisfaction, "Don't tell me it's my Silver Crystal."
Garamandis laughed and said, "I don't have any use for that thing, so I gave it to him. If you want it, you can go by yourself. "
"You …"
Dark Dragon King Kagerosis's eyes shone with cold light and said coldly, "Let's talk business."
Dimanteti said, "Yes, let's talk business. You can deal with your private matters when the time comes."
Hearing the strongest duo of the Seven Dragon Kings speak, Garamandis and the other three dragons' expressions became serious. Space Dragon King Kao Dillis was the first to lower his head and said, "I lost my Sealing Bottle of Moordas."
Dark Dragon King Kagerosis said calmly, "It happened."
Space Dragon King Kao Dillis looked at the other four Dragon Kings and stammered, "I, I saw a beautiful girl last time. She also had a good impression of me. Then we lived a happy life together. But not long after, I found that she suddenly disappeared. The Sealing Bottle of Moordas that I kept, also disappeared. You can't blame me for this. How would I know that she was a spy? "
Dimanteti frowned, "You trash. You still can't change your lecherous habits." Although Kao Dillis said it simply, the other four Dragon King all knew that things were not that simple. Garamandis couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid she didn't steal it. With your lecherous nature, you might have even given it away." “
Space Dragon King Kao Dillis chuckled and said, "That, she said that the bottle was very beautiful and unique, so I …"
"You should die." The black light suddenly shone brightly. Even Kagerosis, who was the best at dodging, had no chance to escape. There was a shocking explosion in the air. His human body was instantly beaten back to its original form. He suddenly rushed away and let out a miserable dragon roar.
Dark Dragon King Kagerosis looked at Space Dragon King Kao Dillis and smiled, "My hands have been itching recently. Khaxiang, after this matter is over, please come to my house and Diman's house as a guest for a while." “
Kao Dillis, who had just flown back, screamed, "Boss Sith, no! I know I was wrong. “
