564 Dark Horse is No Longer Dark, Bu Fang Loses? (2/2)
To actually get the favor of the Pill Master's Nine Star Alchemy Furnace, this little fellow could not be underestimated.
So, she still felt a bit of pressure.
Mu Bai didn't think that Bu Fang would actually just lose like that, completely losing in terms of momentum. Was the dark horse unable to continue being dark?
Indeed… This woman, he had to beat her himself!
Mu Bai's heart suddenly became prideful.
Boom!
On his arms, true energy coiled around his palm like dragons. With a dominating presence, he harshly slammed the top of that alchemy furnace.
The slamming sound resounded through the skies. The lid of the alchemy furnace suddenly flew off. White steam constantly rolled out from within that alchemy furnace, and the sizzling sound resounded out non-stop.
Mu Bai's eyes were on fire as he carefully stared at the alchemy furnace that was glowing, this alchemy furnace represented all of his confidence and what he believed in.
This was what the Pill Master entrusted to him; it was the expectations the Pill Master had of him.
How could he let down the Pill Master!
Buzz...
The white steam scattered, and in the next instant, rays of lights exploded forth, rushing toward the heavens. The sounds of explosions filled the skies.
The audience of the entire stage settled down, looking at the surroundings with a face full of disbelief; they felt like they were in space. That densely packed light rays were like the many tiny sparkling stars in the sky. Those stars slowly fluttered, creating an extremely beautiful scene.
Mu Bai, with his hair fluttering behind him, gently sighed.
Around his body, elixirs floated like stars, with their brilliance radiating out, slowly becoming simple and ordinary. However, on every elixir, there were six marks that were giving off light. The elixirs revolved around Mu Bai, causing his confident demeanor to seem even more charismatic.
On top of the stage, the energy of his elixirs surged, directly ripping into White Demon Jiang Ling's energy to form another patch of sky, splitting the stage into a different space.
Of course… The fragrance of Bu Fang's dish also occupied a small space, but, in the eyes of the audience, this dark horse had utterly lost.
Woosh!
A clamor broke out! The audience was in an uproar, letting out shouts and yells! Many people looked at the outstanding and handsome Mu Bai, all shouting excitedly, the support that the audience had towards Mu Bai, soared at this moment!
The audience would not have a good impression toward Jiang Ling so naturally, so they did not hope for her to win. And since the dark horse chef had lost the chance to counterattack… he had also lost the support. The audience had thus placed all their support on Mu Bai, hoping he could become the champion.
Many of the female spectators could not help standing up, jumping on the spot, covering their mouths, so excited that their faces had turned red.
Nangong Wuque and the rest were looking at their surroundings desolately. Those cheers did not belong to Bu Fang.
”DId he lose already?” Nangong Wan was feeling unresigned, biting her red lips as she said it.
Sorceress An Sheng hugged her chest with both hands, squeezing out an astonishing arc from her twin peaks. She gave the slightly dejected Nangong Wan a glance and said with a smile, ”He should be the one to lose. Look at it, the audience isn't going to cheer for Bu Fang anymore, this is just a fact. Nothing to be sad about. As long as Owner Bu's dish tastes good, it will be fine.”
Yang Meiji clenched her big fists, looking at Bu Fang who was quietly standing on the stage. She felt slightly uncomfortable in her heart. Bu Fang's frail figure seemed to be so lonely; it was as though the world had given up on him.
”No! Owner Bu definitely has a hidden trick up his sleeve. You guys just watch. Owner Bu will still counterattack!” Nangong Wuque raised his head and said.
Contrary to everyone's disappointment, Nethery's eyes watched the platform. Her gaze fell on top of that huge pot; such a big portion of the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup... It would definitely taste good!
Thinking about that, her drool leaked out involuntarily. It was especially so when she looked at the red Chili Strip. The unique fragrance made her mouth water. It was extremely hard for her to resist.
Okay… This woman only had food in her eyes.
No matter how they looked at it, the fact right now was that Bu Fang had been utterly sidelined. It was as if, in people's eyes, Bu Fang no longer had any chance of becoming the champion.
At that moment, the stage belonged to the alchemists. No matter if it was Mu Bai or Jiang Ling, they were both extremely powerful alchemists.
On top of the high stage, the five grandmasters stood up. They gave each other a glance before nodding their heads. In the next instant, they walked toward the platform. The five people landed on top of the stage and their hearts shook. They nodded their heads at each other. It was indeed different.
The judgment of this match wasn't made by the five grandmasters. Instead, five hundred members of the audience were also involved in the judging process.
The stage was so huge this time that the five hundred members had to walk down from the spectator stand to look for their respective spots. They walked around in an orderly fashion and before long, they took up their positions.
The judges carefully retrieved Mu Bai's and White Demon Jiang Ling's elixir. Using a special magic array to split it into pieces, they got ready for the judging process to begin. They had to split it up into five hundred pieces of elixir powder. It was necessary to use this special method to ensure that, even though the elixir was split apart, its effectiveness was not damaged nor scattered.
When they arrived at Bu Fang's dish, the judges felt a headache coming on. That was because Bu Fang had only cooked a hundred servings of his dish.
”Then let five people share one serving…” Bu Fang said blandly. Wiping off the water droplets on his hand, he put them inside the pockets of his Vermillion Robe.
The judges all looked at each other before passing the dish to a hundred people. They ordered for them to share a portion with other four people.
When the products were arranged nicely, Grandmaster Xuan Ming swept his gaze across the entire place. He said with a cold expression, ”The judging of the finals will now begin!”
”The first product is contestant Mu Bai's work. A six-mark spirit pill, begin your evaluation!”
