724 Chapter 724: The First Chefs Challenge, Begin! (1/2)
Bu Fang's eyes were indifferent, carrying the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, which now looked like a chopper after receiving his true energy. He glanced through the scene, his voice cold and harsh but filled with boundless confidence.
Bu Fang's haughty stance astounded the people around him, their eyes disbelieving.
This kid actually dared to challenge the Top Ten of the Tablet of Gluttony single-handedly! Too crazy!
Bu Fang shook his head faintly. He didn't think it was crazy. If he wanted to become the God of Cooking that topped the food chain in the fantasy world, he had to be daring and confident. If he didn't, he might as well give up on it.
Contrasted to Bu Fang's haughty appearance, many people on the Valley of Gluttony's side were enraged by his arrogance. However, even though they were angry, no one stepped forward. If anyone of them made a step forward, it meant they accepted the Chef's Challenge.
As chefs of the Valley of Gluttony, they weren't unfamiliar with the Chef's Challenge. To that sort of match that they had to bet their future on, of course, they wouldn't dare to have the slightest bit of carelessness. Thus, no one wanted to stand out.
Of course, someone disdained the other, so he didn't want to take action. Yan Yu narrowed his eyes, his handsome face wearing a smirk.
He was a special grade chef. He was absolutely confident of his innate cooking talent. Since he ranked first, his cooking level wasn't something that that young chef could compare with. Thus, he disdained to take up the Chef's Challenge against Bu Fang.
If the Great Elder hadn't insisted, he wouldn't have appeared in this Chef's Challenge in the first place.
Mu Cheng, ranked second, also had superb talent. She was the only female chef out of the top ten on the Tablet of Gluttony. However, she was stronger than many chefs, which solidified her position on the tablet. Although she wasn't extremely beautiful, she got the charm of a mature woman.
She looked at Bu Fang, pursing her red lips. She hadn't said anything, but her eyes were teasing him. This was the first time she ever met such an arrogant person who dared to challenge the top ten chefs of the Tablet of Gluttony. She was, indeed, curious.
After talking, Bu Fang remained silent for a long time. Everybody was clamoring, but they didn't pay attention to him.
Ouyang Chenfeng looked a little disappointed. He didn't understand why Bu Fang wanted to come here and do the Chef's Challenge. Anyway, this little fellow's cooking skills weren't bad. He cooked good noodles, though. Also, during the Glutton God's Banquet, he had almost defeated that famous chef. However, in that match, Wenren Chou didn't perform his best.
Bu Fang frowned, thinking, ”These people… No one wants to battle?”
”I will! If you don't want to fight, let me come! I must take revenge! I must wipe out this insult!”
At that moment, while the ten chefs were still hesitating, an almost-crazy voice bellowed through the crowd.
Everybody was surprised. They turned and saw crazy-faced Wenren Chou!
Disheveled Wenren Chou gazed at Bu Fang, his eyes bloodshot. He walked out of the crowd, step by step, grinning like a venomous snake.
Bu Fang's first Chef's Challenge was with Wenren Chou.
And, as Wenren Chou was defeated, his kitchen knife and cooking rights were deprived from him. Chu Changsheng had helped him relieve the Pledge of Gluttony and made him remember his insult. Afterward, he entered the Road of Gluttony to cultivate his cooking skill ascetically.
And today, he walked out of the Road of Gluttony together with the other ten chefs. No one knew what level his cooking skills had reached.
Even Chu Changsheng didn't know.
Seeing Bu Fang as soon as he got out of the Road of Gluttony, it was understandable how excited Wenren Chou was. Since he had persisted and survived the severe Road of Gluttony, where had buried a lot of white skeletons, Wenren Chou had depended on his wrath and wish to take revenge.
Indeed, just like what he had just yelled, he wanted to take revenge. He wanted to wipe out that disgrace!
The others didn't expect that the first one to come was Wenren Chou. However, they thought that it was good to let him test that kid's foundation. Since he had survived the Road of Gluttony, his cooking skills could reach first-grade. Even though he couldn't catch up with the top ten chefs, he was qualified for a battle.
Bu Fang carried the Dragon Bone Kitchen knife, his indifferent eyes moving, falling on Wenren Chou.
Wenren Chou looked helter-skelter, but he got ferocious eyes, which made Bu Fang slightly frown.
”You, what's your rank on the Tablet of Gluttony?” Bu Fang asked with an unconcerned face.
People were bewildered.
Wenren Chou was also bewildered. Then, his face turned furious. ”Owner Bu, you have forgotten me! I will never forget you! Even though I'm not on the Tablet of Gluttony, my competence won't let you off this time around!”
Hiss… Hiss…
Wenren Chou was excited. He stuck his red tongue out, licking his red lips, as his crazy eyes glared at Bu Fang. ”Come! They don't want to fight you, but I do!”
”Ah… You're not one of the top ten chefs of the Tablet of Gluttony.” The corners of Bu Fang's mouth twitched as he cocked his head and looked at Wenren Chou. ”Since you're not in the top ten, I don't want to challenge you. You're not qualified…”
Hearing Bu Fang say that deliberately, everybody was perplexed.
Wenren Chou's excited face froze in shock. A second later, a furious expression replaced it as he shouted crazily, ”What right do you have to look down on me? To defeat you, do you know what I had to endure?”
”Because you are not one of the top ten,” said Bu Fang, his face emotionless.
Wenren Chou went almost insane. Bu Fang didn't accept his challenge simply because he wasn't in the top ten? He had missed the Glutton God's Banquet. If he wanted to challenge the top ten chefs, he would have to wait for a long time. Naturally, Wenren Chou didn't want that.
The chefs of the Valley of Gluttony couldn't help but furrow their brows.
Ouyang Chenfeng's eyes darkened. It seemed that Bu Fang was very determined in this Chef's Challenge. If that's the case…
Ouyang Chenfeng took one step forward, looking at Bu Fang seriously as he said, ”It's not impossible to carry out a Chef's Challenge, but you have to show us that you're qualified to challenge us. Therefore, you must show your power. Defeating Wenren Chou will be the chance for you to showcase your real competence.”
”Not bad.” Standing in the distance with his thick aura, Chu Changsheng smoothed his white beard. He nodded his head as he agreed with that suggestion.
Yan Yu wore a mocking face, looking at Bu Fang.
