The Peak of the Immortal Tree, Fifth Layer
In front of the wooden house, Ya Ya, who was wearing a brocade robe, paced back and forth.
Suddenly, she seemed to sense something, turning her head to look in the distance.
There, the void suddenly twisted, and a hole appeared.
From that hole, three figures slowly stepped out.
The leader… was a fat black dog, who was sauntering with its cat-like steps.
Behind that black dog was a bald man and a slim and graceful young girl.
Ya Ya looked at these three figures, especially the black dog. Her eyes suddenly shrank.
…
Fourth Layer, Immortal Cooking Realm
Bu Fang and the others had soon settled in an inn inside Immortal City.
Compared with the other layers' Immortal Cities, the development of the Immortal City in the fourth layer was more advanced and prosperous.
Strolling on the streets, one could sense the rich and lavish atmosphere.
Bu Fang didn't hang around in the Immortal City for too long. He went to the Immortal Tree Square.
Each Immortal City had an Immortal Tree Square, and the venue of the competition was held there.
This time, the Immortal Tree Square was very lively. It was more lively compared to the competition in the previous levels.
The Immortal Tree Square was also brightly decorated. Compared to the previous layers, the fourth layer Immortal Tree Square area was very large, and around it, there were inclined auditoriums.
At first glance, those auditoriums somewhat resembled the large stadiums in his previous life.
The auditorium had seats, and all of them were full.
The Immortal Chef Tournament was a grand and much-awaited event of the Immortal Cooking Realm, so the auditorium was packed.
From time to time, cheers and shouts could be heard, reverberating in the entire auditorium.
Bu Fang felt like he was coming to a sporting arena.
The fourth layer atmosphere… was really different.
In the corner of the Immortal Tree Square, there was a large light screen shooting up to the sky. That light screen was made by several magic arrays, which collectively captured the whole scene inside the square.
Gongshu Ban acted as Bu Fang's assistant. Holding Xixi's hand, he stood under the arena, looking forward to Bu Fang's performance.
Actually, Bu Fang coming here was an unexpected pleasure, so Gongshu Ban didn't dare to expect too much. He just hoped that in the next match, Bu Fang would not lose too terribly.
On the large stage, two hundred contestants were standing. Well, specifically, they were one-hundred and ninety contestants.
No one in the top ten appeared.
In this level-up match, they didn't need to appear.
The rules of this level-up match were also different from before.
This level-up match was also considered to be a challenge as the lower-ranked contestant would challenge the upper-ranked contestant.
In this way, one would move up the ranks.
Starting from the challenge of the two-hundredth person, they would then gradually challenge level by level. Also, the rank two-hundred contestant could only challenge the rank one-hundred and ninety, and so on.
So, it was impossible to take a huge leap and challenge the rank eleven contestant.
Bu Fang was at rank eighty, so the highest possible to challenge was rank seventy, and so on.
On the stage, the referee was explaining these rules, and everyone listened carefully.
In this level-up match, forty people would advance to participate in the fifth layer final match.
Therefore, the competition in the fourth layer was the most intense. It was also worth watching.
This was the reason why there were so many people here compared with the previous two competitions.
”Now, the level-up challenge has started. Everyone has a jade token in their hand. To prevent several challenges at the same time to a person, everyone only has one chance to challenge. Once you fail a challenge, then your journey in this competition will end, and you will be left with your initial ranking. So… good luck, everyone,” the referee said.
Except for the referee, the judges in the third layer were also present.
Among them, Bu Fang also saw Little Di Tai, who was fluttering his wings.
This guy seemed to be addicted to judging…
When Bu Fang received his own jade token, his mind settled into it, and he began to feel the change of token.
The rule of this challenge was very simple. As long you challenged successfully, you could move up and continue to challenge . However, once the challenge failed, it meant that you're out of the game.
The rule was very straightforward, but it was the most effective.
At this moment, the challenge was about to start in rank two hundred.
Bu Fang's mind settled into the jade token. Inside, there was a unified ranking list.
Among them, Bu Fang saw a lot of names flashing in red light. Obviously, these were people to be challenged.
In order to give the space for the challenger, Bu Fang descended the stage and started to watch.
On the stage, every contestant was also in their places.
A deafening roar resounded in the auditorium. At this passionate atmosphere, Bu Fang couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
The competition went on like wildfire.
Since Bu Fang had nothing to do, he began to observe the competition on the stage.
Of course, there were no weak Immortal Chefs at this point of the competition, and all of them had excellent cooking skills.
As soon as they started their level-up matches, they all showed out their secret techniques. Hence, these battles were very worth watching.
Suddenly…
Bu Fang saw a familiar figure.
It was the black-cloaked man, who had fought against Gongshu Ban before.
At this moment, the black-cloaked man was competing.
He had the same manner, and the same move…
The pressure from the black-cloaked man made his opponent unable to hold his knife steadily.
At this moment, if one couldn't properly use a knife, cooking a dish would become a mess, and even the lightning punishment would not be triggered.
As expected, the black-cloaked man easily won and continued to challenge the others.
Looking at the relaxed black-cloaked man, Bu Fang couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
As the Immortal Chef Tournament proceeded, Bu Fang was also observing each contestant.
He saw all kinds of strange dishes, which also benefited him a lot. He knew that observing the cooking process of those creative dishes would broaden his perspective and help him in the future.
The level-up challenges were like a wheel as it moved on to the next matches.
Some people challenged successfully to advance their ranks, and some people failed, leaving the competition with regrets.
The arena was a cruel battlefield, and only the winner could move on and reach the end.
Buzz.
Suddenly, Bu Fang's token vibrated...
Bu Fang was stunned, and his mind immediately sank into it.
Then, he saw his name flashing in red light.
Bu Fang… was challenged.
