1182 Ying Longs Sigh (1/2)

The Imprison Array would not last very long. However, the premise was that one didn't eat the food carrying the array. Otherwise, the duration of the effect would be prolonged.

That was what happened to Realm Lord Di Tai. With Bu Fang's current cultivation base, the dish that fused with the Imprison Array could trap a Little Saint a dozen of breaths at the most. However, if that Little Saint ate the dish, the duration would become very long.

The realm lord wanted to weep, but he had no tears. He wanted to complain, but he couldn't talk. Since the array had rendered him immobile from top to bottom, he couldn't move his body, blink his eyes, nor speak. As he didn't blink for a long time, he felt a stinging sensation begin to spread in his eye sockets.

He wanted to cry... He had an uncontrollable urge to weep, and the stinging sensation made tears roll in his eyes.

Many people were relieved when they realized that the Dried Pot would not explode.

Meng Qi and Gongshu Baiguang, who had fled far away, were back. When they saw Realm Lord Di Tai, who was frozen to the spot with a slice of pork belly in his chopsticks, their expressions turned rather awkward. Now, anyone but a fool knew that there was something fishy in Bu Fang's dish.

Or at least, there was something wrong with the realm lord's Dried Pot...

Although it didn't explode, its power still seemed very extraordinary.

It made Realm Lord Di Tai almost weep!

The Great Demon King was indeed... unfathomable.

If the realm lord could talk now, he would surely curse at these people.

'Do you all know that anyone will weep if he can't blink for a long time?!'

Gongshu Baiguang cleared his throat, gave Realm Lord Di Tai and Bu Fang a glance, then said, ”Since the Realm Lord has temporarily entered a mysterious state of enlightenment, I hereby announce that the Second Grade test is concluded. One person succeeded in becoming a Second Grade Immortal Chef.”

The Great Demon King had become a Second Grade Immortal Chef. People around all gasped and exclaimed.

It had only been half a year since Bu Fang became a First Grade Immortal Chef. His progress was so fast that he set a new record for the Immortal Cooking Realm.

The Great Demon King, who was the champion of the Immortal Chef Tournament, was indeed amazingly gifted.

Everyone was shocked, but there was not much surprise. They were not jealous as all they had felt for the Great Demon King was awe, not bitterness.

Bu Fang touched his chin. For him, becoming a Second Grade Immortal Chef was not a difficult thing, so he wasn't surprised by the result at all. Despite all the envious gazes being thrown at him from the surroundings, he remained calm. For him, the level of the Second Grade Immortal Chef was not enough, so he would try to make a breakthrough for the Third Grade.

To be qualified as a Third Grade Immortal Chef, he needed to cook a dish that contained at least seven streams of immortal energy. It was not easy and could be said to be very challenging, even for him.

However, Bu Fang was never afraid of challenges.

As someone who wanted to become the God of Cooking that would top the food chain in this fantasy world, Bu Fang knew very well that the challenges he would face in the days ahead would be far more difficult than this one. Only when he overcame them all could he have a chance to reach the top and become the God of Cooking. It was a process of overcoming obstacles and tolerating no mistakes.

Therefore, he chose to continue taking the test. This time, he wanted to take the Third Grade test.

His voice was not loud, but what he said was shocking. In an instant, the whole room fell silent.

The crowd paused for a long time before they confirmed what he had just said. After that... an uproar broke out.

”Heaven! What did the Great Demon King say?”

”He wants to continue and take the Third Grade test? He's going to challenge himself to become a Third Grade Immortal Chef?!”

”That's impossible! It's too difficult to become a Third Grade Immortal Chef! Even the Immortal Cooking Realm doesn't have many Third Grade Immortal Chefs!”

All the people around were shocked by Bu Fang's words, and they only spoke after a moment of silence, their faces full of horror.

”He is indeed worthy of being the Great Demon King. So wild and arrogant!”

Few people had hope for Bu Fang. The main reason was that becoming a Third Grade Immortal Chef was not as easy as becoming a Second Grade Immortal Chef. A Third Grade Immortal Chef was already in the middle and senior echelons of the Immortal Cooking Realm. How could Bu Fang try to make a breakthrough for the Third Grade when he had just stepped into the Second Grade?

He was a little too impatient.

Even Realm Lord Di Tai, who couldn't move, trembled slightly. It was plain that he, too, was surprised by Bu Fang's decision.

Meng Qi and Gongshu Baiguang exchanged a glance and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.

They thought of asking the realm lord for advice, but when they saw him frozen to the spot, still holding the slice of pork belly, they swallowed the words they were about to say.

”You can take the test... With your strength, it is possible for you to make a breakthrough for the Third Grade. Even if you fail, it doesn't hurt...” Meng Qi suddenly said.

Everyone widened their eyes. Her words shocked the whole room.

”The assessment of Third Grade Immortal Chefs is different from that of the Second Grade. First of all, your cultivation base must pass, and second is the level of your mental force. Only when both passed the required level can you be qualified to take the Third Grade test.” Meng Qi's pleasant voice echoed throughout the whole room as she rested her eyes on Bu Fang.

Bu Fang met her gaze without flinching.

His current cultivation base and mental force met the requirements. After breaking through, both of them had improved significantly.

When Meng Qi finished speaking, Bu Fang twitched his mouth.

Many people thought that Meng Qi's remark was meant to make Bu Fang give up. They knew that the Great Demon King could be stronger, but they didn't know the exact level of his cultivation base. They thought that he was still an Immortal Chef with the cultivation base of One-star True Immortal Realm.

Bu Fang's mind flickered. The next moment, his spirit sea suddenly surged. A terrifying aura exuded from his body, kicking up violent waves that spread out in all directions. Even then, his Vermillion Robe turned fiery scarlet and filled the air with bird cries.
