Although Extraordinaires had existed in the Blue Star World for thousands of years, and the number of Extraordinaires who had awakened in the past few decades had skyrocketed, the mechanism of Extraordinaires' awakening was still a mystery even in today's technologically advanced world.
Some people broke through their limits and became Extraordinaries after persevering for a long period of time. Some people became Extraordinaries after waking up from a dream while lying in bed. Some people unleashed their potential at the critical moment of life and death. Some people suddenly gained abilities under the stimulation of great joy and sorrow.
Shang Yulin was currently experiencing the process of Extraordinaire's awakening. It was very similar to the first type, but the intensity of her Extraordinaire's fluctuations was constantly increasing. At first, it reached Rank F, then quickly broke through to Rank E, and then climbed to Rank D.
It was as if there was no end to it.
Wu Yongjian had never heard of such a situation before!
After practicing the Faston Court Cross Sword Technique, Shang Yulin was already sweating profusely and her face was flushed. Her eyes were abnormally bright, and her whole person was like an unsheathed longsword, exuding a sharp and fierce aura.
Then, she slashed out one last time!
Chi!
A dazzling sword glow shot out from the tip of the sword, instantly sweeping past the camphor tree and slashing the courtyard wall several meters away. It actually pierced through the thick stone wall.
The riverside Zuo Residence had a history of a hundred years. At that time, the Zuo family had not completely declined, so they spent a lot of money on the construction of this holiday villa. The three courtyard walls were all made of hard granite.
One could imagine the power of Shang Yulin's slash!
However, this slash also drained all the strength in her body. It was as if her whole person had been hollowed out. Her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. She forced herself not to embarrass herself.
Clap clap clap!
Applause suddenly rang out. Bao'er clapped her little hands and chirped, "Big Sister Yulin is so awesome!"
Shang Yulin raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face and gave the little girl a bright smile.
She felt her strength gradually recovering, and there was an indescribable sense of relaxation and joy in her body. It was as if her life had just been sublimated, and her perception of the world around her became much clearer.
Shang Yulin had already realized what had happened to her. She couldn't help but look at Zuo Yi.
Her eyes were filled with joy and gratitude.
Without Zuo Yi, she wouldn't be who she was today!
Zuo Yi smiled.
He wasn't too surprised by Shang Yulin's awakening and breakthrough.
Shang Yulin had consumed the Water of the Spring of Life and drank the Ancient Tea of Life every day. Her physique had long been reborn, and she had excellent extraordinary potential. Moreover, she had practiced martial arts and swordsmanship since young, so her foundation was very solid.
After that, Zuo Yi personally taught her the Knight's Body Refining Technique, Dragon Breathing Technique, and the Faston Court's Cross Swordsmanship, helping her lay the foundation for becoming a Transcendent. It was only a matter of time before she awakened and broke through.
And the tenderloin that Shang Yulin had just eaten contained the essence of the minotaur's strength. It was equivalent to a legendary heavenly treasure that had helped her break through her final bottleneck!
Because of her solid foundation, her breakthrough level was very high. Although she didn't reach Class D, her extraordinary waves were at least at the peak of Class C.
"Thank you."
Shang Yulin returned the longsword in her hand to Zuo Yi. Her face was red with embarrassment.
Now that she had come back to her senses, she felt that she had been too showy just now. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Congratulations!"
Shang Yulin had just sat down when Wu Yongjian said eagerly, "Miss Shang, on behalf of the Jiangnan Supernatural Management Bureau, I sincerely invite you to join our team …"
If she was an ordinary Awakened, as the chief officer of the Supernatural Management Bureau, he wouldn't be so eager and anxious.
However, Shang Yulin had just broken through and was already close to Class D. It could be said that she had great potential. Moreover, she was very close to Zuo Yi, so it was worth Wu Yongjian to personally recruit her.
Although he had just met Shang Yulin, that wasn't important — talents were hard to come by!
"Chief Wu."
Zuo Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He interrupted Wu Yongjian and said, "Can we talk about work later?"
He was a little worried that Shang Yulin would be fooled.
In Zuo Yi's plan, Shang Yulin would be one of his most important assistants. She definitely couldn't work in the Supernatural Management Bureau. At most, she would be a consultant. Occasionally, she would go on missions as training.
The specifics depended on Shang Yulin's thoughts and wishes.
"Okay."
Wu Yongjian smiled and said, "Then let's not talk about work first. Chef Zuo, what else is good to eat?"
The beef tenderloin he had just eaten was also very nutritious for him. Although he didn't understand why a few slices of meat would have such a great effect, now was the best time to take advantage of it.
Zuo Yi was simply a huge treasure trove. Any random thing that he leaked out would be a jaw-dropping treasure!
Zuo Yi smiled and shook his head. He opened the drawer of the dining car again and took out a plate of beef meatballs.
"This can be cooked a little longer. It's okay."
He gave five to Wu Yongjian, two to Lu Guang and two to Shang Yulin, and none to the others.
Including the Bao'er.
"Teacher …"
Wang Jiaojiao looked at Zuo Yi with pitiful eyes — the meat just now wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between her teeth!
"Eat."
However, it was useless even if she was ten times more pitiful. Zuo Yi wouldn't give her any more food. Otherwise, it would only harm her.
But it was no problem to cook the carrots and vegetables with the bone broth.
In fact, the beef bone broth was already super delicious. Although it was used to cook ordinary vegetables, it was still very tempting. Soon, Wang Jiaojiao ate to her heart's content. She couldn't stop eating at all.
Zuo Yi sliced the remaining pork tenderloin and put it on a plate. Then, he took off his chef's hat and sat down to cook with everyone.
Now that Zuo Yi had reached the Sanctuary-realm, the Legendary-grade Minotaur Troll meat didn't have much nourishing effect on him. It was purely to satisfy his appetite.
At the same time, he also reminisced about the past.
Zuo Yi's title of "Demon Gourmet" wasn't self-proclaimed. He had snuck into the Abyss of the Sadeya World many times. He had eaten hundreds of demons, and based on the ancient Chinese cuisine, he had researched various ways to eat them.
For example, the wings of the Winged Demons were the most suitable for barbecue. After brushing it with honey and roasting it with Qi for two minutes, it would be crispy and have a very special charred taste. It was also very good as a snack.
Another example was the paw of the Violent Bear Demon. After peeling off the skin, stewing the meat until it was soft and gelatinous, then chilling it and pouring honey milk over it, it would be an unparalleled dessert.
There was also the snake meat of the Black Snake Demon. If it was fried on a magma stone, the aroma would spread dozens of miles away!
In the Sadeya World, the history of wizards and knights using demons as ingredients could be traced back to several eras ago. There was also the "Demon Cookbook" and professional demon chefs.
However, Zuo Yi's eating methods were quite innovative, such as the Minotaur Hotpot, Minotaur Meatballs, and so on. His teammates often admired and respected him while eating heartily, so he had the nickname of "Demon Gourmet."
Tonight's hotpot banquet was not only for family and friends to enjoy the delicious food together, but also to relive the good times of the past.
Wu Yongjian opened a bottle of red wine and shared it with Zuo Yi. Lu Guang loved the Maotai that Sun Qiang brought. Fang Yonghe helped the little girl with the vegetables, tofu, and rice cakes. Wang Jiaojiao and Shang Yulin whispered as they ate.
* Woo woo ~ *
Teck ran to Zuo Yi's side and wagged his tail, trying to curry favor with him.
He had already finished eating the beef bones. When he smelled the aroma of the beef hotpot, he was extremely hungry and wanted to get a share of the soup from the Great Demon King.
In the end, he received a large piece of Minotaur Jerky as a reward. He was instantly giddy with joy.
Who told Zuo Yi to be in such a good mood?
In fact, the hundreds of thousands of kilograms of beef he stored in his spatial ring were mostly prepared for Foodie Tai. This was because the meat from the Minotaur Troll was the most useful to Teck.
The piece of beef jerky that Zuo Yi had just thrown to Tai was specially roasted using his qi. It was absolutely delicious to Tai.
The hotpot banquet only ended after 8 pm. The vegetables that Fang Yonghe had bought were all eaten clean, and there was not a single drop of beef bone soup left in the hotpot buffet.
Everyone was very satisfied!
