579 Valley of Gluttony? What Is that Plaything? (1/2)

When the theme was known to be cooking, Luo Li sighed in his heart.

It was not because he did not know how to cook, but rather he did not like to cook... Although he was currently one of the top experts in Ancient Shura City, he had not come from a wealthy family.

When he was young, Luo Li grew up on a poor farm. He was different from the Shura Saintess, who was born with a gold spoon. When she was born, the stars congregated, for she was destined to have a bright future.

Luo Li, however, achieved what he had at this point only through blood and sweat. He had sacrificed much to get back some of what she was born with.

Still, memories of his childhood were the hardest to forget. Cooking had become a distant memory in his mind.

At that time, he was working in a restaurant...

Shaking his head, Luo Li got back to reality. He opened the wok lid, and the hot steam surged outwards, bringing forth a familiar scent, letting Luo Li feel satisfied.

He did not like to cook, but he knew how to.

As he brought the dish out of the wok, an oscillating radiance emerged from the dish, attracting the attention from the surrounding people.

Even the Shura Saintess' face was full of surprise. She truly did not know that Luo Li had such a skill.

Only when you personally try to cook, will you realize how difficult it is to try to do so… The Shura Saintess had followed Bu Fang's actions down to the last one, but when she took it out of the wok, compared to Bu Fang's dish, the difference was as clear as the difference between heaven and earth.

Although there was a fragrant smell, compared to the fragrance coming from Bu Fang's Red Braised Meat, it was simply the difference between the light of a campfire and a full moon on a dark night.

Opening the wok cover, Bu Fang took out the shining Red Braised Meat and placed it on a porcelain bowl. Compared to a white plate, Bu Fang preferred using a porcelain bowl as it was more stylish.

Time passed, and soon the entire crowd had finally stopped cooking. Among those fifty participants who were enough to form a small cooking army, there were people who succeeded and those who failed. The ones who failed would become a headless chef until the end of times.

Those who succeeded could not relax, however, as they knew the real test had yet to begin!

Supreme Blade Tyrant's face was full of smiles. Smelling the lingering fragrance in the air, he closed his eyes as he relaxed his body, trying to absorb it all.

”This brings back memories. It smells real nice…” Supreme Blade Tyrant spoke.

Soon, he reopened his eyes, but they became colder than ever. He scanned everybody, stopping at the first expert to begin judging.

The expert's head was full of sweat, and a tense line could be seen across his forehead.

As Supreme Blade Tyrant came closer and closer with each step, that expert's heart felt as though it was going to collapse.

”Don't worry, let me see your dish,” Supreme Blade Tyrant gently said.

However, that gentleness made the expert's heart beat faster in panic. As the expert presented his finished dish, it turned out to be a dish done badly. The sauce was too little, the color slightly burned black...

Supreme Blade Tyrant held the dish as he brought it up, bringing his nose close to take a whiff...

The expert nervously looked at Supreme Blade Tyrant. Suddenly, his eye widened as the color on his face disappeared.

That's because, after smelling his dish, the Supreme Blade Tyrant looked at him with an ice-cold gaze.

”This rubbish is what you have cooked? You want my inheritance, yet you brought out this rubbish for me to eat. Just take a look and smell it. The meat was not processed well... You didn't pass by a large margin... Just stay behind to learn how to cook,” Supreme Blade Tyrant coldly spoke.

The expert panicked for a while, however, in the next instant, he let out an angry shout!

”Noooo! I don't want to die! I don't want the inheritance anymore! Just let me go!”

The expert moved, as his true energy surged, like clouds tumbling about.

Boom!

However, the Supreme Blade Tyrant just coldly grinned while looking at the surging expert, and his eyes revealed some disdain. This was his Soul Sea Space. In there, he was a god, and nobody could resist him.

With just a raised hand, the expert's scream stopped, and his whole body stood still. In the next instant, his head exploded as fresh blood splashed on the floor.

Another headless chef was born.

The Supreme Blade Tyrant continued to sample dishes, and more and more people joined the army of headless chefs. As more headless chefs were created, everybody felt fear in their hearts. This Supreme Blade Tyrant... was really a crazy fellow.

The man wearing a sackcloth was much calmer. When the Supreme Blade Tyrant walked to his position, his mouth moved to show his confidence.

”Dear sir, please try my dish. This is my created dish, the Crystal Red Braised Meat.”

The man raised his hand as true energy gathered below the plate to raise it, presenting the dish in front of the Supreme Blade Tyrant.

The latter looked first at the man and in the next instant looked at the presented dish. Just with a look, Supreme Blade Tyrant's eyesight revealed that of a drunkard eager to savor his next drink.

”Crystal Red Braised Meat... What a familiar dish.” Supreme Blade Tyrant sighed.

Red chopsticks made of spirit essence appeared in Supreme Blade Tyrant's hand, as he picked a piece of the translucent Red Braised Meat, which seemed to transform into a crystal. After admiring it for a while, he put it in his mouth.

Uhmmmm…

Once in his mouth, he noticed that the oil was not too slick, and the texture was familiar. As the Supreme Blade Tyrant's eyebrows tweaked, his face revealed his delight.

”The taste of Valley of Gluttony, such a familiar taste... Are you from Valley of Gluttony?” Supreme Blade Tyrant reopened his eyes and smiled while looking at the man wearing a sackcloth.

”I am indeed the new generation explorer from Valley of Gluttony... Wen Renchou.” The corners of his mouth curled up as he politely greeted and bowed to the Supreme Blade Tyrant. He was confident as he believed that, in a battle of culinary skill, nobody would be a match for the Valley of Gluttony. He must have that inheritance, after all, Supreme Blade Tyrant and Valley of Gluttony had some secret connection.

”An explorer from Valley of Gluttony? Not bad... not bad…” The Supreme Blade Tyrant put down the plate as he nodded his head, smiling gently.
