This young chef's competence… should be estimated better.
The old man with a mustache clasped his hand, walking around with the other two to grade the work of each chef.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
”What's this? Flashy but no good. Chaotic shape. Get lost!”
”Did you think you were playing with mud? What is this thing?”
”Are you stupid or what? You got a big radish and you carved me a ball? Do we need you to carve a ball?”
...
The mustached old man looked gentle but he poured his scolding on the contestants along his way. The ones who got scolded didn't dare to look up. Their faces looked as if they had constipation.
He was the Elder and he got the right to talk. What could they do!
On his way, he had eliminated so many chefs. People thought that the Knife Skill Challenge would be easy… but the result was so brutal.
The rigid-faced man and the beautiful woman exchanged looks. They saw the reluctance in each other's eyes.
The old man seemed hot-tempered today. Those contestants were just unlucky.
Facing the fiery man, Jun Qingxiao was so scared that he trembled hard… Indeed, this legendary Elder was really terrifying.
Could he get his approval? Too scary!
Bu Fang looked indifferent, leaning on his chair while squinting. His calm face made Jun Qingxiao even more anxious.
The old man finally walked to Jun Qingxiao's stove. His dark face glared at Jun Qingxiao and then at his work. It was a blooming flower with petals like cicada's wings. The flower radiated beautiful radiance in the center.
The old man didn't scold him. He just admired the flower for a while, stroking his boastful curved ends of the mustache.
”Not bad.”
The old man nodded at the white-jade flower, giving a compliment. Jun Qingxiao's stooped head lifted up immediately. His anxious body trembled.
He got a compliment?
Jun Qingxiao suddenly felt so emotional that he wanted to cry. He had always been scolded and had never had a compliment. Today, he was praised!
He immediately turned contented.
The old man patted Jun Qingxiao's shoulder, then moved to Bu Fang. He didn't look at Bu Fang's work, but indifferently study the chef. His eyes seemed so oppressive. The atmosphere at this moment seemed to become at daggers drawn.
The stiff-faced man and the pretty woman didn't understand why their Sixth Elder had to do that to this boy.
”Tell me, what did you carve?” asked the old man.
”An alligator,” Bu Fang answered, with his brows arching.
An alligator? Was it just a normal alligator?
That young man wasn't honest.
The stiff-faced man gazed at the alligator for a while. He also felt an alligator roaring and trying to swallow him. He was scared and he had to move his eyes away from the thing.
”What happened to you?” The pretty woman asked him.
The muscles on the man's face convulsed.
”Didn't you recognize what this young man had carved?” the rigid-faced man took a deep breath, and his eyes looked scared.
The charming woman was bewildered. She turned and studied the white-jade alligator. A moment later, her red lips parted. She covered her mouth, disbelieving what she saw.
”It… It's the monster in the Sunset Lake!” The woman screamed, with her eyes filled with surprise.
Perhaps many people in the Valley of Gluttony didn't know this tremendous monster, but the stiff-faced man and the beautiful woman were considered apprentices of the Elder so, of course, they knew how frightening it was.
They couldn't figure out how this young man could carve that monster.
”Green Teeth Ancestral Alligator! You little chef, you know this savage beast? Who… are you, after all?” The stiff-faced man asked solemnly. His sharp, sword-like eyes stared at Bu Fang.
”You know the Green Teeth Ancestral Alligator… I heard that the Sunset Lake broke into a riot yesterday. Is it related to this kid? The Green Teeth Ancestral Alligator rampaged and attacked the seal. It almost smashed the seal,” said the mustached elder.
His eyes were extremely serious, sending shivers down people's spines. Not many people dared to look him in the eyes.
”Ah… I went fishing. I was careless and provoked that beast,” said Bu Fang.
The stiff-faced man and the beautiful woman were somewhat speechless. What's that about going fishing? Fishing in the Sunset Lake? You are f*cking funny, you know?
The Sunset Lake had countless savage beasts. The Green Teeth Ancestral Alligator was an extremely brutal one among them.
That little chef dared to fish there...
But the important point was… He got out alive.
Young people these days… No one was honest!
The old man looked Bu Fang deep in his eyes. He squinted, then took a deep breath. He rose one finger, touching the Green Teeth Ancestral Alligator made of radish. The true energy swelled and the radish exploded, turning into so many broken pieces that fell on the ground.
”You've passed. However, this beast isn't carved good enough. If you made it better, it could affect people's spirit, energy, and even the soul,” said the old man. Then, he stroked his mustache, walking away. ”Prepare for the next challenge. It's the Fire Control Challenge.”
The old man looked at Bu Fang deeply then wielded his sleeves, leaving.
Fire Control Challenge?
Everybody was bewildered.
What good was it to test controlling the flame? Being a chef, did they want to play with the fire to get some small sparks?
