503 Hot Spicy with No Friends (1/2)
Spicy and fragrant fish head with chopped spicy peppers…
A thick aroma which was spicy and fragrant floated around the entire place. With a thick layer of chili laid on top of the fish head, the contrast of the red and green with the gravy on top of the fish gave it a unique look.
There was a hint of smoothness in the aroma which was in the air. The spicy flavor continued to spread into the surroundings.
Bu Fang was very satisfied with this dish. The fish meat was glistering with luster and there was spirit energy floating about in the dish. All of these were signs that he had controlled the fire exquisitely. All of the essence in the medical herbs had been successfully absorbed into the meat of the fish.
However, the alchemists on the stage completely hated Bu Fang's dish.
When the Chopped Pepper Fish Head was completed, there was a thick aroma which lingered in the air. In the midst of the aroma, there was a hunt of an eerie spicy flavor.
The spicy flavor continued to float about, covering the surrounding alchemists.
Since the alchemists had already sealed their sense of smell, they were not able to smell the fragrance coming from the Chopped Pepper Fish Head. However, they didn't seal their mouths as they still had to breathe through it.
In the split second that they opened their mouths to breathe, the spicy flavor entered them and went down their throat.
The alchemists were determined to not allow their furnaces to explode. However, they were afraid of the spicy flavor from the bottom of their hearts.
What the f**k? What in the world that dude cook?
In an instant, all of them felt as though their tongue became numb. They felt as though they were thrown into a pit of fire as a burning feeling engulfed their body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At that moment, the sound of furnaces exploding could be heard again. This time, the sound was even more thoroughout. Along with the first explosion sound, it was as though a domino effect was unleashed. Almost all of the alchemists caused their furnaces to explode with the slightest error.
In fact, none of them wanted to cause their furnaces to explode. However, they were unable to concentrate with the burning sensation in their mouths.
Their eyes became red and huge droplet of tears rolled out from them. It was as though a downpour was occurring on their faces. The tears landed onto the ground with a loud plop.
The sadness in their heart was so painful that it became difficult for them to breathe.
Failed… They really failed!
The enemy of the alchemist guild! Indeed, he deserved his name. It wasn't just a joke.
The spicy flavor was basically sending them to heaven.
The head judge cried as though he was a little kid. When the smell of the Chopped Pepper Fish Head started to spread out and enter his nose, he cried even more. He hated this spicy flavor from the bottom of his heart. Like those alchemists, he sealed up his sense of smell. However, the spiciness had seeped into his mouth and drifted into his eyes.
His tears began to fall like raindrops during a thunderstorm.
Why was life so difficult? He didn't want to cry, however, he was unable to stop his tears from falling.
In an instant, the scene on top of the first arena caused the surrounding spectators to drop their jaws in shock. The audience below the arena were blinking their eyes in shock. Bean-sized tears were rolling down their faces.
The alchemists on stage were crying and exploding their furnaces at the same time.
The head judge was sprawled on the ground, crying. He cried to the point where he couldn't breathe properly.
What in the world was going on there?
Such a huge scene attracted the attention of many other people. The audience who were gathered at the other arena looked over as all of them were curious about what had happened. When they all saw such a scene on the first arena, an odd look appeared on their faces.
Not only were the alchemists crying, but the audience below the arena was also crying as well… Even the usually serious judge was crying. Could it be that something devastating happened on the first arena?
All of the curious audience members went toward the first arena in order to take a look at the situation.
There were some members of the audience who left, however, many of them took their place.
When the new members arrived at the bottom of the first arena, they started to cry as well.
In the instant they were assaulted by the spicy aroma, they felt as though their noses got separated from their bodies. It was as though a heavy punch landed on their faces and an unbearable burning sensation covered them. They were unable to stop the tears rolling out from their eyes when the stinging aroma of the chili entered their eyes.
All of them finally realized why there were so many people crying! Everything was because of that chef in the first arena! The chef was said to be the enemy of the entire alchemist guild!
The spicy fragrance… was simply too scary!
They had never smelt anything like that before. It was a smell which would cause some people to die.
After quite some time, the head judge finally got up from the ground. His eyes were swollen and bloodshot from crying. His nose was completely red and it appeared as though he was drunk. His lips were red, swollen, and hot. After he wiped the tear stains off his face, he was extremely tempted to strangle Bu Fang.
This dude actually dared to release poison in public!
The main point was whether he actually gave them a warning before releasing his poison.
He trusted this kid too much… He was sure that whatever Bu Fang cooked would be fragrant… However, what in the world did he make?
It was seriously too spicy!
What kind of chili did he use? How was it so spicy?
After they were assaulted by the spicy aroma from the Chopped Pepper Fish Head, all of the furnaces had exploded. This time, there wasn't a single surviving alchemist.
All of the alchemists on stage were crying non-stop. They had swollen red lips on their faces as tears dripped down them.
As the luster slowly dissipated, the meat on the Chopped Pepper Fish Head quivered under the fierce movement of the steam around it.
The head judge shot a look of hatred toward Bu Fang as he slowly walked to where Bu Fang was standing.
He knew that this elimination round was completely f**ked. On top of that, it was even worse than the day before. There were at least three people who passed the elimination round the day before… However, there was only a single one today.
On top of that, the only person who was qualified was the culprit… He was not even an alchemist, he was just a chef.
A group of alchemists was wiped out by a single chef.
It was a huge embarrassment.
”Duo yu noe wot yu've dune?!” * With his mouth swollen, the head judge furiously shouted with some messed up sounds coming from his mouth. He felt mentally tired after saying a few words.
(TLN: Do you know what you've done?!)
He regretted his actions. Why did he not guard against Bu Fang's trick?
”What did you say? Can you speak clearly?” Bu Fang furrowed his eyebrows as he was confused. He asked for the head judge to repeat himself.
With his eyes wide open and bloodshot, the head judge repeated himself in an unclear voice.
Bu Fang moved his mouth, ”You should speak clearly! If you don't speak clearly, how would I understand the words coming out from your mouth?”
Looking at Bu Fang's confused appearance, the head judge wanted to spit blood. Due to his intense breathing, not only was his mouth swollen, but his tongue also became numb. He couldn't talk properly.
