1083 Generous Owner Bu (1/2)
Ever since Lu Yi had been defeated by Liu Mobai in the Immortal Chef Tournament, he was continuously in a daze, as though the sky had collapsed.
He didn't know what he was doing when he entered the Immortal Tree space.
Aimlessly, he walked around with a lifeless look in his eyes.
After losing the Heart of Cooking Path, it seemed that everything he had had before was taken away too. His innate skills, his glory… All of them ceased to exist.
From being a monstrous talent revered by everyone, he became mud in everyone's eyes.
Sometimes, he complained. Why had he met the Great Demon King and that black-cloaked man? Why must he suffer this unbearable disaster?
However, the more he thought, the more he would be annoyed. Everything had happened already, so he could only bear it.
Dumbfounded, he walked in the Immortal Tree space.
Even if the will of the Heavenly Path from the Immortal Tree dispersed twice, he didn't have the mood to feel and comprehend it.
His Heart of Cooking Path was lost, so what if the will of the Heavenly Path was here? What about it?
He couldn't condense the Heart of Cooking Path again in a short time.
But quickly, everything he saw afterwards made him terrified.
The other Immortal Chefs, including Xue Yao, Meng Kun, and Feng Xin… became like him. Their Heart of Cooking Path was sucked away too, which made him feel a little strange.
At this moment, a loud sound jolted him out of his trance.
In his frightened eyes...
The huge Immortal Tree was cut off by a blade energy…
After letting out a rustle, it was chopped into two halves…
The Immortal Tree was destroyed!
Seeing this made Lu Yi realize that something big was happening in the Immortal Cooking Realm.
When they arrived outside the Immortal Tree palace ruins, they saw several people in a confrontation.
Among them was City Lord Meng Qi, who he admired, and the great Realm Lord, who he revered...
As well as… the Great Demon King, Bu Fang, who made him feel conflicting emotions.
The atmosphere in the air seemed strange, making him curious.
After a while, Lu Yi understood the situation.
Actually, this group of people, who claimed to be from the Dark Nether Cooking Realm, wanted to snatch away the Immortal Tree seedlings, causing the great Realm Lord and City Lord Meng Qi to fight against them.
They were having a Chef's Challenge to determine who owned the Immortal Tree seedlings.
Although Lu Yi was dispirited, he was not stupid.
He understood the importance of this Chef's Challenge… This was the Chef's Challenge that would determine the fate of the Immortal Cooking Realm.
Once they lost, the Immortal Cooking Realm would continue its decline and be completely ruined!
Suddenly, a flame burned in Lu Yi's heart. He may be in despair, but he didn't want to see his homeland destroyed.
Trying to look into the distance, his eyes watched the Chef's Challenge that had just started.
The first match was between the two Low Grade Qilin Chefs.
City Lord Meng Qi, who was wearing a long robe with winding immortal energy, faced Zheng Kuangjiu from the Dark Nether Cooking Realm of Nether Prison.
The group of people separated into two sides, surrounding the Immortal Tree seedlings.
As though they had a silent agreement, the Immortal Tree palace ruins became the location of the Chef's Challenge.
Not long after, an invisible fluctuation spread out.
Behind Zheng Kuangjiu, a huge shadow phantom emerged. That phantom seemed to cover the sky, and it had a blood-colored gem in the middle of its forehead, radiating dazzling light.
The light was blinding, making everyone's eyes squint and tremble.
”This is the witness of the Chef's Challenge pledge… The Chef's Challenge of my Dark Nether Cooking Realm is not a child's play…” Zheng Kuangjiu said, his ash-gray hair fluttering.
Suddenly, he grabbed his long black robe and lifted it.
Under the black robe, Zheng Kuangjiu revealed his battle outfit.
On his waist, there was a half-moon-shaped kitchen knife. The knife was blue, and pitch-black Nether energy wound around it.
His finger shook, making that half-moon-shaped knife hover and spin. The imposing aura on Zheng Kuangjiu's body changed dramatically.
A scarlet-red gleam shone in his eyes, and behind him, a round of evil-looking moons emerged.
”A Qilin Chef of the Immortal Cooking Realm? Trash… I'll let you feel what is called real cooking skills,” Zheng Kuangjiu said coldly.
A moment later, the kitchen knife slashed the air, spreading out frightening energy waves.
City Lord Meng Qi frowned.
She felt somewhat pressured. The pressure from Zheng Kuangjiu made her heart feel somewhat uneasy.
However, Meng Qi closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them, a determined look flashed across her eyes.
”Come! For the Immortal Cooking Realm, I won't let you win!”
Buzz…
The immortal robe on City Lord Meng Qi's body whirled around as she grabbed her kitchen knife.
Zheng Kuangjiu raised the corner of his mouth.
”The Chef's Challenge price… If you fail, you will be forever deprived of the right to cook, and you must hand over all your kitchen tools to your opponent…”
He then added in a cold and taunting voice, ”How could an Immortal Chef who lived in a greenhouse like you know how cruel our Chef's Challenge is? For us, each Chef's Challenge is a battle of fate!”
City Lord Meng Qi exhaled, her eyes looking determined.
”Come!”
Lord Dog's figure flashed as he appeared between the two people, which was in the middle of Immortal Tree palace ruins.
”Alright, the time to brew half a cup of tea has ended. Now… Lord Dog will announce the theme for this match...”
Lord Dog's magnetic voice resounded as he wagged his tail. Then, he stretched his paw, licking it.
After that, he glanced sharply at the two people and said, ”The theme of this Chef's Challenge is… noodles!”
Boom!
As soon as Lord Dog finished speaking…
The giant black shadow in the void suddenly spread an invisible fluctuation, covering Meng Qi and Zheng Kuangjiu.
Lord Dog looked at that shadow, and his figure suddenly disappeared in the middle of the palace ruins.
Buzz…
The blood-red gem of that huge shadow emitted a dazzling light.
That dazzling light rose like a wave, looming over them as it covered their bodies.
In the next instant, that light transformed into a magic array, forming a Chef's Challenge stage.
”The theme is noodles?”
On the side of the magic array, Mo Xiu clasped his hands, his face revealing a relaxed smile.
”Unexpectedly, the theme is noodles. It's a good thing that Zheng Kuangjiu knows more about noodles than me,” the other black-robed expert said with a smile.
Mo Xiu nodded approvingly. As a Qilin Chef, each of them had their own specialty.
