Chapter 775: 775

The Shadow Chopping Knife was moving fast enough to even slice shadows .

Both sides of the knife displayed different colors . As the knife flashed about at high speeds, the color seemed to disappear, making it obvious that it was moving very fast .

This kitchen knife was a famous knife, and by using this particular knife, Yan Yu was able to reveal his outstanding talent on the Tablet of Gluttony, which enabled him to climb over numerous opponents .

Of course, one of the reasons he was able to stay at the top of the rankings was because his opponents didn’t give their all .

However, this famous knife was able to make Yan Yu’s culinary skills so much more refined . It showed off how important a good kitchen knife was for a chef .

The Eight Petal Snow Lotus in Yan Yu’s hand was filled with spiritual energy . As he looked at the light that was reflected off the dazzling Snow Lotus, his eyes appeared to be a little blurred .

This Snow Lotus was something he had paid a huge price to find . It was because after he started his culinary journey, Yan Yu started to love cooking . Whenever he saw good ingredients, he would turn somewhat fanatical .

This was completely different from his personality in the Ancient Jade Holy Land . Maybe Yan Yu felt nothing for the Valley of Gluttony, but he definitely loved cooking .

It was because he was already lost in the world of cooking .

Today’s Chef’s Challenge was actually a chance for him to live, but it was also his chance to prove himself .

Didn’t Bu Fang defeat many of the top ten chefs of the Tablet of Gluttony in a Chef’s Challenge? If he could defeat Bu Fang, it would prove that he was not an inferior person . It would also prove that his identity as a special grade chef was real .

That was the primary reason why Yan Yu became excited . He was so excited that the blood in his entire body was boiling .

The blade light almost disappeared without a trace, slicing past with a bright flash . After that, the eight petals of the Snow Lotus fluttered down .

Once the eight petals were separated from the main body, they started to float in the air before falling down slowly, landing in a jade plate that Yan Yu had prepared . They were like shards of ice that were as thin as paper, and it seemed as though they would melt in the next second .

Yan Yu’s true energy then surged forth like silk, protecting the eight Snow Lotus petals that were as thin as a cicada’s wings .

Next, the kitchen knife in his hand began to deal with that lotus .

The blade light was traceless . Cutting downwards, that milky-white Snow Lotus was cut into pieces in an instant, and a white liquid flowed out from inside .

Yan Yu’s eyes were sharp, and his hands were fast . Pulling out a jade bowl, he caught the liquid flowing out of the Snow Lotus .

A dense fragrance wafted from within that milky white liquid, bringing a wave of tranquil fragrance . That aroma lingered in the air, smooth like a silk cloth, causing people’s heart to involuntarily relax .

This milky-white liquid that scattered the tranquil fragrance was the essence of this eight-thousand-year-old medicinal herb . Its essence seemed to emit a radiance from time to time .

It caused everyone to become unable to control themselves as they cast sidelong glances at the bowl .

As for Yan Yu, his face revealed a look of intoxication .

He retrieved the petals before gently placing them on the side of the jade bowl . At that moment, that petals seemed to come back to life as they sucked up the milky-white liquid in the jade bowl .

After that, Yan Yu began to make the dumpling filling .

He pulled out many high-grade ingredients . Although they were not as high grade as the Eight Petal Snow Lotus, many of them were considered rare among the ordinary ingredients .

The Shadow Chopping Knife seemed to push Yan Yu’s cutting technique to its fullest potential . The audience was not able to catch a glimpse of the knife at all as they only saw flashes . They could only see Yan Yu swinging his arm as the blade light shone everywhere . The next thing they knew, all the ingredients were shredded .

The spirit beast meat, medicinal herb, and the rest were mixed together . The color of the blended ingredients was incomparably dazzling .

Adding a bit of ice, he began to knead it .

At this point, Yan Yu finally had the mood to lift his head . Looking in Bu Fang’s direction, he was curious as to what ingredients Bu Fang would pull out to go against his Eight Petal Snow Lotus .

The moment Bu Fang took out his ingredients from the system storage space, everyone froze . They were shocked by the ingredients he took out .

The grade of the ingredients was not low, but compared to Yan Yu’s ingredients, they paled in comparison . Furthermore, Bu Fang didn’t take out a single ingredient that was on par with the Eight Petal Snow Lotus .

The audience was a little disappointed, and some even shook their heads in regret .

As expected, since he was unable to use Taotie Meat, Bu Fang would lose without question . How could ordinary ingredients defeat Yan Yu’s Eight Petal Snow Lotus?

However, there were many great chefs in the audience who were ranked on the Tablet of Gluttony .

An ordinary person would not see what was special about Bu Fang’s ingredients, but to these great chefs, they were able to see through his ingredients with a single glance .

Those that flew in the sky, those that walked on the ground, those that swam in the sea—almost all types of different ingredients were prepared . With so many types of ingredients mixed together, it was a huge test for the chef preparing them .

If even a single ingredient was not prepared properly, the taste of the entire dish would be ruined .

Outside the restaurant, Mu Cheng, who was standing on a tree, sucked in a breath of cold air .

“This Bu Fang really has guts . He really dares to cook like this . ”

On the side, Wenren Shang was smiling as he drank his wine . He said, “That’s normal for that kid . His talent is incomparable, and his creativity is something you and I can’t compete against . Also, there’s his courage . His courage to press forward is what I admire most about him . I can feel that… ”

However, Wenren Shang paused and suddenly downed a mouthful of wine . Liquid trickled down his throat as he swallowed . When he was satisfied, he sighed with satisfaction . He couldn’t control himself and laughed out loud .

“What?” asked Mu Cheng as she looked at Wenren Shang, who was acting strangely .

Wenren Shang wiped his mouth and gently burped out a breath filled with the stench of alcohol .

“I can feel that this kid’s target… is the Great Star Ocean . ”

Hearing these words, Mu Cheng instantly rolled her eyes .

Liu Jiali’s face was stern as his hand gently rubbed the book in his other hand . “If that’s the case, the chances of him winning this Chef’s Challenge might have increased…”

Mu Cheng rolled her eyes again when she heard this .

…

There was a light shining in Bu Fang’s eyes as he looked at the rich amount of ingredients . It was so plenty that a normal chef would not dare to easily touch it .

To make the dumpling filling, there was obviously a need to mix all these ingredients together . For every individual ingredient, there was a strict requirement on the taste and texture, so once the mix fails, then the entire dish would fail as well .

Bu Fang could not fail, which made this challenge extremely important to him .

Those chefs who recognized his ingredients sucked in a deep breath, solemnly watching this scene .

Of course, for everyone else who was there to watch a show, they stared at the dazzling line-up of ingredients . They felt that Bu Fang had to deal with too many ingredients, and it seemed extremely exaggerated .

The green smoke in Bu Fang’s hand revolved around as he held the Black Turtle Constellation Wok . He took a step back and opened his mouth, and a gold and red flame jumped out, causing the spirit spring water in the Black Turtle Constellation Wok to start boiling in an instant .

Once the water in the wok was boiling, Bu Fang’s gaze narrowed . He then turned his head to look at Shrimpy, who was lying on his shoulder while spitting bubbles .

Shrimpy was idling its time throughout this . When Bu Fang picked it up, he said, “Be good and take a bath in this . Let yourself go as much as you like . ”

After saying that, Bu Fang reached out his hand and rubbed Shrimpy’s head gently .

Shrimpy’s huge eyes spun around as it didn’t know what in the world was going on . However, Bu Fang loosened his grip in the next instant .

Shrimpy’s body began to fall, dropping toward the boiling and steaming Black Turtle Constellation Wok .

With a plopping sound, water splashed everywhere .

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air .

Oh my gosh . That poor mantis shrimp was really going to be cooked .

From afar, Great White, who was being dragged away by Whitey, instantly let out a weeping howl at the top of his lungs . His hands grabbed the ground, and a layer of the ground was shaved off, causing crushed stones and dust to fly everywhere .

“Shrimp Ancestor! You promised to accompany me as a partner! We’re supposed to help each other… You cannot just ditch your cute little white away!”

Whitey’s gray eyes flashed, then a red God Slaying Stick was swung out, smacking the back of Great White’s head .

Great White was instantly knocked out and dragged away . The one who added drama himself had been shut down and hauled off .

As for Bu Fang, he naturally did not care .

Shrimpy would be cooked to death by boiling water? As long as the Abyssal Chili Sauce was not added, Shrimpy would not care at all . The higher the temperature, the more comfortable this guy would feel .

After a while, the golden energy that scattered from its body became denser and denser .

Hum…

Green smoke revolved around Bu Fang’s hand, and in the next instant, a pitch-black Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife appeared in his grip .

The muscles in his palm moved as the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife spun . After fiddling a bit, the kitchen knife flicked, sending the ingredients flying in the air .

In the next moment, Bu Fang showed off his cutting technique .

The Meteor Cutting Technique was at grand completion . Adding the nine blades of the Overlord Thirteen Blades, Bu Fang’s cutting technique as of now had long been enough to crush everyone in the Valley of Gluttony .

Everyone looked dumbfoundedly at Bu Fang’s kitchen knife flying around as the countless ingredients were cut into shreds . Like moving clouds and water, all of them entered the wok with splashing sounds .

Next, a spirit beast bird was pressed under Bu Fang’s knife . With a sweep of the kitchen knife, a ripping sound could be heard as the spirit beast meat and bone were separated .

A plump fish was similarly dealt with as its fish scales flew into the air . The fish’s bone and meat had been cleanly separated .

Under the audience’s stunned gazes, there seemed to be countless blade lights appearing before them . It seemed like shooting stars were flying across the sky as the ingredients turned into shreds .

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Countless ingredients fell into the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, falling down like rain .

Shrimpy’s legs were moving around in the Black Turtle Constellation Wok . Its huge eyes spun around as it swam in circles comfortably . It even did a few flips . It seemed to be playing joyfully . Its long feelers were slightly swaying, displaying the happiness it felt in its heart .

Bits of golden energy were scattered around, and the ingredients seemed to absorb them all .

After some time, Bu Fang’s hands shook, scooping out all the ingredients in the wok .

These ingredients were then dunked in cold water . They had already been cooked well . Along with the energy from Shrimpy’s body, they became extraordinarily dazzling and eye-catching .

Others did not know the mysterious abilities contained within the ingredients . However, there was no way Bu Fang wouldn’t know .

Pulling over a huge pot with all the ingredients mixed together, he began kneading .

He took out a spirit beast egg that was as big as two fists . The shell of this spirit beast egg had many light green dots around it .

The back of the kitchen knife gently tapped, cracking the eggshell open .

The true energy in Bu Fang’s hands began to revolve around . The egg was mixed around in the shell before Bu Fang poured it evenly throughout the dumpling filling . After that, he continued kneading .

From afar, Yan Yu’s dumpling filling was also done . That Eight Petal Snow Lotus was mixed into the filling, causing it to radiate a dazzling brilliance . It was eye-catching and blinding .

Comparing Bu Fang’s ordinary dumpling filling with his own, Yan Yu felt smug . The corners of his mouth curled upwards as he smirked with confidence .

“Without an Eight Petal Snow Lotus level ingredient, everything you’re doing is a waste . ” Yan Yu’s mouth emitted a chill as he said this .

He then pulled the bundle of flour over . With a knead of his palm, it became a plump dumpling skin .

Yan Yu raised his head, giving a devilish smile .

The wrapping of the dumpling was finished in an instant, with twelve even folds appearing on each dumpling .

From afar, Bu Fang also began to wrap the dumplings meticulously .

Everyone held their breaths as the Chef’s Challenge seemed to be entering its final stages .
