Hillard smiled and said, "Arc Light, you are wrong this time. You don't have to beat around the bush. I did know him before, and so did Kitty. He is a magician of the same origin of ice and fire. He is very talented in magic and has reached the realm of a great magician at a young age. As for the light magic he used, it is like you said. It is very likely that he used a magic scroll. However, even with my spiritual power, I didn't feel too much spiritual fluctuation when he used magic. If he used a scroll, his movements seemed to be too subtle. "
Arc Light smiled and said, "It's good that you know each other. Old Xi, are you familiar with him? You know that my Northeast Army lacks mages the most. Apart from the Central Army, which is directly recruited by the state, the other armies all recruit mages on their own. The Central Army's Mage Legion is really enviable. That Old Rong's appeal is very strong. Now, I only have about 20 mages on my side, and only one Archmage. Their strength is uneven. If possible, I hope to recruit more mages into the legion, and we can discuss the benefits. Do you think you can help me with this?
Hillard glared at him and said, "Help you? Stop dreaming. I am not familiar with Nian Bing at all. Also, don't forget that he is a chef. If you have the ability, go and recruit him yourself. However, I don't care who you recruit, but don't think about us white people. We summoners will never join any country's army. "
Arc Light smiled and said, "You don't have to be so heartless. After all, we are friends. You have so many people, how good would it be if you are willing to join the army? "
"Report." A loud shout came from outside the carriage. Arc Light's face became serious and said, "Speak."
"Reporting to Marshal, there is a group of people outside the city. It is said that they are from the Ice Moon Empire who came to our country to participate in the new magician competition. There are more than twenty of them including guards. It is said that they are led by the seventh prince of the Ice Moon Empire, Yan Feng. Are they allowed to enter our country?"
Arc Light hesitated and said, "They can enter our country. However, ask them to show their participation documents and then let them enter the city. Send our men to spy on them secretly, if they do anything unusual. Report to me immediately. "
"Yes, Lord Marshal. Kitty had fallen asleep while leaning against her father. Hillard looked at the arc of light and said, "Is the Five Nations New Mages Competition about to start again? Why is it that the prince of the Ice Moon Empire escorts the contestants? "
Arc Light shook his head and said, "I don't want to invite Chu. According to our information, the Seventh Prince of the Ice Moon Empire has never been favored. He is obsessed with martial arts and is said to be very handsome. "
Seeing the faint evil aura on Arclight's face, Hillard shook his head helplessly. He said, "You! She couldn't change this bad habit of hers. She even had to think about other people's princes. Arc Light, you're not young anymore. Shouldn't you find a woman and start a family? "
Arc Light said helplessly, "Old Xi, you also know that I have no interest in women. Sigh, why am I a man? I don't think I'll be able to change my sexual orientation for the rest of my life. You don't have to persuade me. I'm not the only child in our family. My parents have already given up on me. Well, if I have the chance, I want to meet this Seventh Prince. If only he was as handsome as Nian Bing. However, Nian Bing is not my style. That kind of handsome young man is the favorite of girls. I like manly men the most. "
"Okay, okay. If you continue, I'm going to throw up. You're the famous Nan Juhua. It's really unbearable to be with you. I'm warning you, don't show such a lewd expression in front of my daughter in the future. Otherwise, I'll make it so that you can't even get a man. " Hillard looked at the arc of light with disgust and reprimanded him angrily. Arc Light snorted and said gently and evilly, "Old Xi, I'm afraid that other than His Majesty, you're the only one who dares to call me Nan Juhua in front of me."
Hillard rolled his eyes and said, "You don't have to threaten me. When you're strong enough to reach the level of God Tier, you can find me for revenge. Don't forget that you lost to me a few times. "
Arc Light said dejectedly, "Okay, I'll admit defeat. Damn it, other than that perverted Ice Goddess Priestess, you're the only one on the continent that I really admire. I, Arc Light, have lived for 38 years and I lost the most miserably when I competed with you. Your spiritual magic is too perverted. Coupled with your dragon summoning technique, who can compete with you? " If you have the ability, then go and get a woman with my Ice Goddess Priestess. I heard that she's still an old virgin. If you can get her, I, Arc Light, will be willing to do anything for you. " "Maybe it was because Arc Light's voice was a little louder, Kitty woke up from her sleep." Little snake, what are you doing? Getting a girlfriend?
Who do you want to get a girlfriend with? " Arc Light was suddenly speechless by Kitty's question. He hurriedly covered it up and said, "Nothing, nothing. I just told your father that someone from the Ice Moon Empire came to Huarong to participate in the New Magician Competition."
Hearing this, Kitty's eyes lit up. "A Magician Competition? I want to participate too. Dad, let me participate, okay? "
Hillard frowned and said, "Kitty, don't mess around. That's not something you can participate in. You have to represent the country. Also, do you think this is child's play? With your current level, you can't even compare to a Grand Magician. You still want to participate in the Magician Competition? After the finals of the Tianhua Dragon Culinary Competition is over, you'll come home with me and continue to practice your magic. When you have some achievements, I'll consider whether to bring you out to play. You little girl! You're just too curious. "
As he said that, he glared at Arc Light. Outside Taru City, after showing their credentials for the competition, a group of 20 people from the Ice Moon Empire entered Taru City in three carriages. At the front of the group was a tall white horse. Yan Feng, who was wearing silver armor, looked very handsome riding on the horse. His face was still emitting a cold aura. His expression was very calm and there was no emotion in his eyes. Behind him, there were six fully armed warriors and three carriages. There were also ten guards around the carriages. The group entered the city in a grandiose manner.
When he first entered Taru City, Yan Feng was surprised to find that this seemingly bustling city didn't have as many people as he imagined. Looking around, there were very few people on the streets. Even the shops on both sides of the road were mostly closed. "Men, why is Taru City so quiet?"
A knight hurriedly urged his horse forward. He respectfully said, "Your Highness, I'll go and investigate. Our country has a secret inn here. For safety reasons, we'll stay there. As long as we pass through Taru Square, we'll arrive at the inn very quickly. " Yan Feng nodded and said, "Go and investigate first. See if there's any situation and quickly report back." "Yes, Your Highness." Your Highness. "The knight replied and hurried off. Not long after, the knight quickly returned. Seeing Yan Feng's questioning gaze, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it's like this.
Taru City is holding some Dragon Culinary Competition. The finals are next day, so most of the people have gone to Taru Square to watch the competition. Now there's a sea of people there. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to pass through. Your Highness, you see … "Yan Feng looked back at the carriage behind him and said indifferently," We'll go and take a look. We'll temporarily rest outside Taru Square. After the competition is over, we'll pass through and find a place to stay. Ah Er, Ah San, you two go and buy some clean and fresh food for Miss Bing Yun and the priests. We'll gather at Taru Square. "
"Yes." The two knights flew away. Yan Feng jumped down from his horse and walked to the second carriage. He said, "Miss Bing Yun, there's an important meeting in Taru City today. We may be late for a while before we can reach the accommodation. You can rest in the carriage for the time being. "
A heavenly voice sounded in the carriage, "Everything will be decided by Your Highness. Bing Yun is well in the carriage." "The voice coming from the carriage was so beautiful and moving. No music could compare to such a beautiful voice. Unfortunately, this voice was like ice that had been frozen for ten thousand years. When it entered one's ears, it made one shiver. It was as if the person speaking had no emotions at all.
Yan Feng furrowed his brows. He had no interest in women to begin with. In addition, this Lady Bing Yun was even colder than him. Along the way, although he was in charge of escorting, the number of times he conversed with this Lady Bing Yun was no more than ten. Every time, it was at most three sentences. He had already gotten used to it. Getting back on the horse, under Yan Feng's lead, the group of horses headed towards Taru Square.
Other than simply eating, Nian Bing had been in a half-meditative state during the rest between the first and second matches. Finally, it was time for the second match.
Nian Bing slowly opened his eyes and realized that Little Tian was standing next to him. He stood up and looked at Little Tian. "It's almost time, right?
Little Tian nodded and said, "The same luck won't befall you again. This time, I'll let you see absolute strength. The biggest reward for me in this competition is probably seeing your Earth Dragon Centipede's Dance Blade Technique. I'll also let you see a good show in the second round. "
Nian Bing smiled, "Little Tian, do you know? If you can beat me, it'll be a good thing for me. "After saying that, he walked out of the resting area." Good thing? "
Little Tian frowned. After a while, he muttered to himself, "Victory makes people proud. Defeat makes people improve. Maybe that's what he meant. So, losing in the first round is a good thing for me? Nian Bing, have you never lost before? I haven't either. Let's have a good competition today and see who will be the final victor. "
Momo walked past Little Tian and glanced at him. She smiled and said, "Don't be too stubborn. You're just too competitive. Nian Bing is right. Maybe losing is a good thing." Little Tian smiled, "I understand. However, losing is built on the foundation of using all my strength. If I can't win even after using all my strength, then I'll accept defeat. Let's see if Nian Bing has the ability to do so. Let's go. It's almost time. "
Nian Bing calmly stepped on the rotating platform and came to his kitchen. Suddenly, a familiar figure broke the peace in his heart. From afar, that person was sitting on a tall horse. His upper body was straight and he emitted a cold aura. It's him. Why did he come to the Huarong Empire? Nian Bing didn't have a bad impression of Yan Feng. However, he couldn't accept Yan Feng's strange hobbies.
When Nian Bing saw Yan Feng, Yan Feng naturally saw him on the platform. A rare smile appeared on his face. "Nian Bing, when I heard you were a chef, I didn't dare to believe it. It seems like it's true. Nian Bing! I haven't seen you in half a year. You seem to have become more handsome. "
When he said this, the cold expression on his face gradually melted. He looked at Nian Bing with a gentler gaze. Luckily, he was quite far away and Nian Bing couldn't see his expression. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in the mood to continue the competition.
However, although Nian Bing didn't see Yan Feng's expression clearly, he saw the three carriages behind him. There was something on the carriages that he was all too familiar with. It was the symbol of the ice flower. In the entire Yangon Continent, only the Ice God Tower would use this symbol.
Strong hatred instantly filled Nian Bing's heart. The kind and sad faces of his parents kept appearing in his mind. The people in the Ice God Tower were actually the Ice God's companions. Who would be in the three carriages? At this moment, the carriage in the middle opened a gap. A clear and cold gaze instantly pierced through the distance of nearly a kilometer and met Nian Bing's eyes. Nian Bing's body shook. His spiritual energy fluctuated quickly. Although the cold pressure was a kilometer away, it didn't seem to weaken at all. Nian Bing only felt a chill in his heart. He hurriedly used his spiritual energy to resist the huge pressure. His expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.
He lowered his head, no longer meeting the cold gaze. He was thinking about who was in the carriage. At this moment, his mood had stabilized. He could feel that the person in the carriage wasn't his arch-enemy, the priest of the Ice Goddess. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to withstand the spiritual pressure. After all, the priest of the Ice Goddess was a God Tier master! However, the person in the carriage gave him an unusually cold feeling. Although his aura wasn't as strong as the priest of the Ice Goddess, it was very similar. Who could come together with the seventh prince, Yan Feng?
"Alright, after the first round in the morning, Chef Nian Bing is temporarily at the top of the list with 10 stars. We will immediately begin the second round of the test. This time, we will test each chef in turn. We have thought of all the questions in advance. There will be no similarities, so it will be absolutely fair. The drawing of lots will be based on the results of the first round. It will start in reverse order. "
Hua Fatso's words woke Nian Bing up from his thoughts. He was still in the middle of the competition. Everything could wait until the end of the competition. However, with the people of the Ice God Tower here, it seemed that he couldn't use his Morning Dew Dagger.
The competition will be held in reverse order? That meant that he was the last one. Little Tian and Momo were in front of him.
At this time, the judges had already walked up to the high platform. Demon General Arc Light held a wooden box in his hands and walked in front of the chef who got tenth place in the morning's competition. That chef searched in the box for a long time before taking out a lot. Hua Fatso took the lot and showed the seal on the lot to the audience. Only then did he open the lot and say loudly, "This lot requires the chef who draws the lot to make a soup with mutton. No ingredients are allowed in the soup. The soup must be white in color at the end. The time limit is one hour." After hearing the question, that chef immediately moved and ran to the center of the rotating table to take out the mutton.
After hearing the question, that chef immediately moved and ran to the center of the rotating table to take out the mutton. Demon General Arc Light walked in front of the second chef and let him continue to draw lots. The lot in the wooden box was very strange. They were all based on one or a few ingredients. Furthermore, there was a special cooking requirement that was done by the chefs. One of the chefs drew a lot and used green onions as the main dish. He was extremely unlucky. If the first round of the competition was a competition of strength, then in the second round of the competition, luck played an important role.
After Momo finished drawing her lot, she went to make her dish. Next was Little Tian's turn. Little Tian didn't stop at all as she casually drew a lot and gave it to Fatty Hua. Fatty Hua also showed the seal on top of it, and then read: "This lot requires the chef to use noodles as a dish, and can be paired with any four types of side dishes. However, when the dish is completed, it cannot have the feeling of a main dish."
Little Tian smiled faintly. "It's simple." He glanced at Nian Bing before walking towards the various materials in the center.
The last one was Nian Bing. Arc Light walked in front of Nian Bing and revealed a strange smile. He used his unique gentle voice and said, "Nian Bing, you are currently first. Continue to work hard. En, this young man is very handsome and his magic is good. He is a rare talent. " "Yes."
Hearing Arc Light's voice, Nian Bing's heart tightened. Thinking about Yan Feng below the stage, she thought to herself, this can't be another chrysanthemum, right? He is one of the grand marshals of the Huarong Empire! While thinking, she hurriedly drew a lot faster than Little Tian and gave it to Hua Fatso. Then, she immediately retreated to the side and tried to keep her distance from Arc Light.
Hua Fatso opened the lot. When he saw the contents of the lot, he couldn't help but smile strangely. "Nian Bing! Maybe it's because you are strong. You have hit the jackpot this time. You actually drew the most difficult lot. But don't worry, we'll add a star to your score according to your final dish. " "
Nian Bing smiled faintly and said, "There's no need for that. I'm confident in my culinary skills. Please announce the content. "
Hua Fatso chuckled and said, "This lot requires the chef to use utensils to hold the dish. You are not allowed to use any utensils to cook. You can choose any ingredients. Now, you can start. The time limit is also one hour. "
Hearing Hua Fatso's words. Nian Bing immediately realized that the lot to add a star was not easy to complete. No wonder he said this was the most difficult lot. To a chef, cooking without using any utensils was almost impossible. How could one cook without utensils? However, this may be difficult for others, but it was not difficult for Nian Bing. After thinking about it, she turned and walked towards the ingredients.
The audience below the stage originally thought that Nian Bing had taken advantage of the situation. But when they heard the cooking requirement, they immediately revealed sympathetic expressions. If one cannot cook without utensils, then what was the point of adding a star?
In the second carriage behind Yan Feng, there was a light sound of surprise. Obviously, the owner of the carriage also wanted to see how Nian Bing would cook without using utensils.
Nian Bing chose three ingredients. They were fresh shrimp, crab and a piece of beef. He did not choose any vegetables. She placed the three ingredients on the chopping board and turned her head to look at Little Tian. When she saw Little Tian's actions, she couldn't help but be shocked.
Little Tian was kneading the dough. His movements were very slow, but his slow movements were abnormally strong. Looking at his kneading posture, Ling Nian Bing couldn't help but think of Camel Chef Zi Xiu's Heavy Eagle Hand. Is he increasing the strength of the dough? What kind of method is he going to use to cook?
Little Tian's actions suddenly changed while Nian Bing was feeling doubtful. He abruptly tossed the dough in his hand into the air. His arms hugged the dough in front of him, and his body rippled like water as he changed into an unusually gentle posture. When the dough landed, it actually floated in the air between his hands. Little Tian pushed his left palm forward while his right palm pulled back. The dough began to spin rapidly. The arrogance on Little Tian's face had disappeared, and he had become unusually calm. His body continued to make all sorts of gentle postures while the dough continued to dance between his hands. A faint yellow Dou Qi appeared around the dough, but the Dou Qi did not invade it. Instead, it continued to circulate as Little Tian moved.
Nian Bing's eyes widened. His hands, which were about to process his own materials, stopped. He stared unblinkingly at Little Tian's hands. To him, even if he lost this competition, he had to see every single one of Little Tian's actions clearly. This was because he had thought of a technique from Little Tian's actions. It was the Yin-Yang Harmony Taiji Hand, which was the best of the Seven Great Forbidden Hands. The Taiji Hand was the most mysterious of the Seven Forbidden Hands. It only appeared in legends. Even Ghost Chef Cha Ji, Nian Bing's master, had never seen it before. He had only read about it in books. However, even though it was just a legend, it was still ranked at the top of the Seven Great Forbidden Hands. According to the legend, there was once a chef who only knew how to make steamed buns. His method of making steamed buns was the Taiji Hand. The Taiji Hand was not simply a method of processing ingredients. It was a cooking method in itself. When practiced to the extreme, one could even use the technique to cook ingredients. The taste contained within was incomparably strange. It was born from the Taiji Hand and was endless. Even the best chefs would not be able to distinguish every taste of the Taiji Hand's delicacies.
Nian Bing's face revealed a trace of a bitter smile. He knew that he had already lost this competition. No matter how exquisite his magic was, under the premise of not using a few top-notch divine knives, he could not win against the top of the Seven Great Forbidden Hands. However, he did not become dispirited because of this. After all, he was able to see the Taiji Hand. To him, this was already a very wonderful thing.
Little Tian's expression was still calm. His hands were like his expression. Every movement would make the dough gently rotate. Suddenly, his gentle hands fiercely pulled. A strand of dough flew out from the rapidly rotating dough and evenly spread out on the chopping board in front of him. At this time, the entire rotating platform was only left with the sound of breathing. Those who did not know the goods did not understand, but after all, there were still people who knew the goods. Demon Marshal Arc Light at the side muttered to himself, "What is going on? Has the world changed? A great magician and a martial expert did not join the army, but became a chef. This set of techniques is really good! Using defense as offense, but I can't find a trace of weakness. "
Other than Nian Bing, the other nine chefs were busy. Little Tian's movements had already changed. The dough in his hands had completely turned into thin strands. He did not look at Nian Bing, as if he did not feel Nian Bing's gaze, and began the next step of the cooking process.
Just when Nian Bing was in a daze, a clear and melodious voice woke him up, "Big brother Nian Bing, do your best!"
Looking up, on the rostrum, Kitty was excitedly waving at him. Nian Bing clapped his hands. His spirit was instantly lifted. What is wrong with me? The Yin Yang Harmony Taiji Hand is indeed wonderful, but it is not that I do not have the strength to resist. As long as I do my best, even if I lose, so what? Little Tian, Little Tian, I really did not misjudge you. I really did not expect that the long lost Taiji Hand would appear in your hands. However, I will not admit defeat.
Thinking of this, Nian Bing also began to move. He quickly removed the shells of the prawns that he had prepared, used his fingers to remove the prawns, and used the strength of his hands to directly pinch the live crab. He took out the crab roe and crab meat and placed them together with the prawns. Then, he placed the beef, prawns, and crab together and began his own actions.
After a simple movement of his hands, Nian Bing began to evenly pat the ingredients in front of him. At the beginning, the direction of his palm could be seen clearly, but as the speed increased, only the afterimages of his palm could be seen on the kitchen table. Palm patting, palm cutting, back hitting. Every action appeared from an unimaginable angle. Nian Bing's hands seemed to have no bones, as they freely patted the ingredients in front of him. However, he was able to ensure that the juices of the ingredients did not flow out. This was the Bone and Tendon Separation Technique.
As his hands moved faster, the three ingredients gradually mixed together. Nian Bing did not look at them, but continued to pat the ingredients. He mixed the prawns and crabs into the beef, adding the freshness of the seafood to the beef. Only when half the time had passed did he stop.
Taking a deep breath, Nian Bing muttered a few incantations. A huge ice ball with a diameter of more than three feet appeared in front of him, followed by surging flames. The flames instantly enveloped the ice ball. The ice ball constantly melted in the flames, but it did not evaporate, as if it was covered by an invisible cover. Gradually, the original ice ball shrank a little, condensing into a water ball in midair. The water in the water ball gradually boiled under the scorching flames.
Not allowed to use kitchen utensils? Magic is my kitchen utensils. Nian Bing tossed the ball containing the three ingredients into the air. He didn't have the dexterity of the Thousand-Cut Hands to cut the ingredients, but he was able to knead the meat into a ball. The large ball was gradually divided into dozens of meatballs, which directly entered the boiling water ball. They continued to roll around in the water ball. It was amazing. Nian Bing's heart followed the movements of his hands. He focused on the meatballs that were rolling in the water. Suddenly, both of his hands transformed at the same time. He used his spiritual power to control the water ball and quickly added the various seasonings on the chopping board into the meatballs. The water ball followed Nian Bing's thoughts and kept moving, adding the seasonings directly into the meatballs. At this time, Nian Bing controlled the water ball, coming in front of himself. His right hand stretched out, wrapped in flames, rhythmically rotating in the water. This was the Mysterious Jade Hand. Under the effect of the Mysterious Jade Hand, the meatballs were evenly heated, completely soaked in the seasonings.
At the last moment, Nian Bing took out his Red Soul Vinegar from the Space Ring, lightly dripping it, and with a push of his hands, the dozens of meatballs had already entered the prepared large bowl.
With the help of ice and fire magic, he finished the dish without using any cooking utensils. At the same time, the nine chefs who had started cooking before him had also completed their tasks.
The judging of the second round was no different from the first round, only the order was changed. Nian Bing did not have anyone in his mind at this time, only the dish that looked like stir-fried vermicelli in front of Little Tian.
Vermicelli, that's noodles! What kind of taste would a dish made with Tai Chi Hands produce?
Little Tian also did not pay attention to the dishes introduced by the others, once again walking to Nian Bing's side, faintly smiling, and said, "Nian Bing, I admit that I was wrong. I didn't think that magic could be used in cooking like this, your comprehension in this area is really strong.
Nian Bing was also smiling as he looked at him. There was a look of appreciation in their eyes. After all, it was hard to find a worthy opponent. At their level of culinary skills, it was not easy to find a worthy opponent. "Unfortunately, I still lost this round. Little Tian, what you used just now, was it the legendary Tai Chi Hands of Yin Yang Harmony? "
Little Tian smiled, leading the way, "Unfortunately, I haven't mastered it yet. Let me tell you a secret. In fact, the Tai Chi Hands is the same as the Heavy Eagle Hands, they are a kind of martial branch, divided into different stages. Right now, I still can't use the Tai Chi Hands' infinite flavor, but I can use the Tai Chi Hands to destroy the composition of any material, transforming it into the flavor I need. You will understand soon. This competition is really exciting! Your first knife against my first hand, tell me, who do you think will win in the end? "
Nian Bing said, "Winning or losing is not important to me. Being able to see the legendary Tai Chi Hands makes this trip worthwhile. After the competition is over, if there is a chance, I will definitely spar with you more. I think that this definitely won't be our last stage, there is still the God of Cooking Competition waiting for us, right? "Yes.
