1066 The Black-Cloaked Persons Challenge (1/2)
”I chose Bu Fang...”
City Lord Meng Qu smiled, her beautiful appearance blooming in that instant. It made everyone intoxicated and... shocked at the same time.
What?!
City Lord Meng Qi chose who?
Everyone felt like they were hearing things.
Did they hear the wrong name?
City Lord Meng Qi had actually chosen the Great Demon King?!
Shit!
This time… everyone was really going to explode!
If City Lord Meng Qi chose the Great Demon King, that meant that Bu Fang, with a vote of three to two, had successfully made a comeback and finished Lu Yi off, obtaining the first place of this time's Immortal Chef Tournament!
This…. This is a huge scoop!
It was a boiling, explosive piece of news in the entire Immortal Cooking Realm!
Who was the Great Demon King?
He was just an Immortal Chef from the first layer…
The first layer of the Immortal Cooking Realm that had no resources and no monstrous talents.
The best result from the first layer in the entire history of the Immortal Cooking Realm was no more than being able to squeeze into the top two hundred…
That backward first layer actually had a demon who could obtain first place in the Immortal Chef Tournament!
Oh my God!
This unexpected result gave everyone a huge hit, causing them to be in a mess.
As for Lu Yi, he had long stood dazed on the spot, his gaze becoming lifeless.
In his mind, only one sentence from City Lord Meng Qi rang in his head.
”I chose Bu Fang...”
Just choose, can you not say it so charmingly?!
Three to two, letting two chase three, the Great Demon King… was ascending the heavens!
”He won!”
Gongshu Ban was in a daze. He wasn't able to react in that instant, but shortly after, a seemingly divine light shone from his eyes!
He excitedly waved his fists in the air!
”Woah! Owner Bu won! First place! The first layer has finally appeared in the first place!”
Gongshu Ban was so emotional that his eyes turned red, as though tears were about to flow out.
He was moved. He had never been so moved before.
Everything that Owner Bu did for the first layer… He was truly touched that he felt like crying.
Bu Fang, on the other hand, was calm. However, his lips slightly curved.
Just another daily occurrence.
The moment he obtained the first place of the Immortal Chef Tournament, the system's stern and serious voice rang out in his head.
”Host, congratulations on completing the task, awakening the Heart of Cooking Path. Now giving out the task reward: Fragment of the God of Cooking Set.”
There was only one reward from the system, so this meant that Bu Fang still had a task that he had not yet completed.
After thinking about it carefully, it made sense. The other task was for him to get into the top ten and obtain the right to enter the Immortal Tree space, then obtain the Immortal Tree seedling within that space.
Only after completing these demanding tasks would the other task be considered completed.
However, even if he had just completed one task, to Bu Fang, it was not a small shock.
The reward was a fragment of the God of Cooking Set…
Bu Fang's breathing suddenly became a little hurried, as though a ripple had appeared in his calm heart.
He had finally gathered enough fragments to exchange for the fourth item of the God of Cooking Set.
What exactly would the fourth item be?
Of course, no matter how much Bu Fang was excited right now, he did not exchange for it.
He raised his head, his eyes looking at City Lord Meng Qi who was smiling as she sat on the judge's seat.
Then, he nodded his head towards City Lord Meng Qi.
”No! City Lord Meng Qi… I do not accept this! How could I lose?! Where is it that I am lacking?!”
Lu Yi suddenly exploded, his entire being in anger. Holding his head, he roared disgruntledly.
It was hard for him to accept this result.
He actually lost?
How could he just lose like this?
How could he possibly lose to a trash Immortal Chef from the first layer?!
Unacceptable! He cannot accept this at all!
Everyone turned dead silent.
Indeed, this result was hard for someone to accept.
With Lu Yi's culinary expertise, it was impossible for him not to get first place in the Immortal Chef Tournament.
But a Great Demon King had suddenly dashed out with a crushing momentum. He advanced forward, and finally took down the monstrous Lu Yi of the fifth layer, obtaining first place.
Such a miraculous experience made everyone feel that this was not real.
”The Great Demon King… came from the first layer…”
”A first layer Immortal Chef... can obtain first place?”
”I really feel bad for Lu Yi… Since there is a Lu Yi, why is there a Bu Fang?”
Everyone's gazes were complicated as they looked at the stage.
Under the stage, all the competing Immortal Chefs were incomparably silent. Dumbstruck, they did not know what to say.
They had thought that Lu Yi would be able to crush the Great Demon King.
But they were wrong...
Lu Yi lost.
This fact was so mind-blowing, making them reel with shock. They had never experienced it before.
Suddenly, a laugh rang out from below.
That laughter was filled with happiness.
Everyone's eyes shifted over, realizing that the one laughing loudly… was actually a figure clad in a black cloak.
Behind that black-cloaked figure was another huge and sturdy figure that was also wearing a black cloak.
The two figures stood there, giving people an invisible oppression.
Some recognized this black-cloaked person, who was the dark horse of this competition. He had rushed into the top fifteen, and now, it seemed like he was going to challenge the top ten…
What did he mean by laughing like that?
The spectators only felt that his laugh held a mocking intent.
”Don't mind me… I couldn't help laughing. Just wait for me to finish, and I'll begin my challenge.” The black-cloaked person held his stomach as he laughed again.
The surrounding people were a little speechless.
But some people's hearts froze.
The black-cloaked person was going to continue challenging…
It looks like within the top ten… one of them was going to be in danger.
Lu Yi's bloodshot eyes stared at City Lord Meng Qi, a little defiant.
He, Lu Yi, was not someone who could not take a loss, but what he could not accept was that this loss was caused by City Lord Meng Qi herself.
That questioning gaze made City Lord Meng Qi's gentle smile slowly disappear.
Her face turned cold.
From her figure, a wave of pressure spread out.
This pressure made the few judges who were closest to her feel tightness in their chests.
This was the pressure that belonged to a Qilin Chef.
In the audience, City Lord Liu and City Lord Zou's eyes shone.
”Oh my! That Lu guy is really stupid. Well, as expected of all Liu and Lu men. How dare he piss off Little Sister Meng Qi? Isn't that asking for death?”
City Lord Zou pinched her middle finger and thumb together, letting out a cold snort.
City Lord Liu's face stiffened. He turned his head with a green face, glaring at City Lord Zou.
”Zou JieLun, if you say another word, I will really smack you to death with my bowl!”
