The riveting Great Culinary Competition, under everyone’s eager anticipation, finally…

Looking at those martial cultivators standing around the periphery yawning with bored expressions, this author really can’t continue writing this.

Alas.

In a world where martial prowess reigns supreme.

A culinary competition really has too much difficulty stirring up everyone’s passion.

However, the contestants standing at the cooking stations were all concentrating intensely as they wielded their kitchen knives, skillfully cutting ingredients.

Others might look down on them, but they couldn’t look down on themselves. Since they had chosen the path of culinary arts, they had to devote themselves wholeheartedly to it.

All professions are equal.

When you engage in a profession, you should love that profession!

Don’t ask who that profession is.

Whoosh whoosh—

The flames released by the contestants blazed madly beneath the cooking stations, and the sounds they made represented their love for culinary arts.

Sizzle!

After someone’s oil heated up, they tossed the cut ingredients into it and began skillfully stir-frying.

Don’t look at how the contestants weren’t very old—they were all experienced chefs, and their skills were definitely solid.

As ingredients and seasonings went into the woks and were stir-fried, fragrant aromas immediately wafted out.

The dozing martial cultivators took a light sniff and immediately perked up.

Not everyone could cultivate martial arts, but everyone had to eat, so the power of delicious food was very strong.

“It smells so good!”

Smelling the aromas mixed in the air, everyone’s appetites were aroused.

Naturally, the highest attention was on the ten direct descendants of the Ouyang Family, because the fragrance from their cooking surpassed the other contestants.

From the aroma alone, people judged that in the first round of competition, the Ouyang Family would definitely advance without incident.

And this kind of thing was also most common in previous Great Culinary Competitions.

However.

While all the other contestants were collectively cooking, only Liu Wanshi had just gotten her fire started, and then arranged the needed ingredients neatly on her cutting board.

“…”

Everyone’s mouths twitched.

Some of the other contestants were almost ready to serve their dishes, but you hadn’t even finished cutting your ingredients—your speed was really too slow.

What made them even more exasperated was this.

After arranging the ingredients, Liu Wanshi closed her eyes and put her hands together, as if praying.

Miss!

If we were hungry diners waiting for you to serve the food, we’d probably starve to death!

“Swish!”

Liu Wanshi’s small hand swept out, skillfully taking up the kitchen knife, and she began cutting with flowing movements.

“Tch.”

The Ouyang Family’s direct descendants glanced over briefly and all inwardly sneered, “With that knife work, she’s not even as good as the servants doing odd jobs in my Ouyang Family.”

Participating in the Great Culinary Competition for the first time, Liu Wanshi was very cautious. Her knife work also prioritized stability over flashiness.

If she really showed off, she would definitely scare them to death.

Why?

Because Liu Wanshi was the Tiegu Sect’s head gold medal chef, feeding several thousand disciples.

If she had to work slowly and meticulously when cooking, not only would a group of senior martial brothers and sisters go hungry, Sect Master Jun would also have to go hungry along with them.

In contrast, although the Ouyang Family’s direct descendants had decent culinary skills, the amount they cooked in a year might not equal what our little radish cooked in a single day.

Practice makes perfect, and familiarity breeds skill.

This could be applied not only to martial arts, but equally to culinary arts.

Setting aside the Ouyang Family’s ancestral culinary techniques, in terms of cooking alone, Liu Wanshi could crush the Ouyang Family’s direct descendants.

So what right did they have to look down on our kind and lovable Tiegu Sect’s gold medal chef!

System: “Author, please control your emotions. This is commentary time—don’t bring personal feelings into favoring contestants.”

…

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Liu Wanshi skillfully wielded her kitchen knife, and the ingredients were evenly cut.

At the same time, the oil in her wok had also heated up. She swept the flat of the blade, rolled up the ingredients and tossed them in—the entire process could be called seamless.

However.

She was still too slow.

Couldn’t compare with the other contestants’ flashy moves.

“Swish!”

“Swish!”

Liu Wanshi held her ladle and began turning the ingredients, adding seasonings in the meantime. Every step was done with the utmost precision.

“The little girl is very serious.” Jun Changxiao murmured.

She wasn’t the only serious one.

The other contestants were also going all out.

After all, years of effort were all for proving themselves today!

…

With three hundred people cooking together, the food aromas gathering in the air were quite complex, yet also left people with endless aftertaste.

Some people even closed their eyes, their souls seemingly merging into an ocean filled with delicious food, swimming freely.

Comfortable.

Wonderful!

Just as they were wandering, waves suddenly rose in the ocean. They saw ten enormous whales surface, all simultaneously spouting water, interweaving into a magnificent and beautiful scene.

At that moment, everyone focused on the whales, marveling at their physique and at the colorful fountain sprays they released.

Just then, sailor’s laughter reached their ears. Forever in the deepest part of their hearts, they heard the sailor say, he said what’s this bit of pain in wind and rain, wipe away your tears and don’t be afraid, at least we still have dreams…

The martial artists lost in reverie were startled, and following the sound, they saw a lone boat slowly approaching, carrying a man and woman singing loudly.

Jun Changxiao?

Everyone was immediately stunned.

Looking at the girl again, wasn’t she the Tiegu Sect disciple participating in the Great Culinary Competition?

However, at this time Liu Wanshi was no longer human, but a mermaid. She sat at the bow of the boat, her fish tail gently rippling the water’s surface.

In an instant, everyone’s eyes locked onto her, and no one cared about the ten whales spouting fountains.

Swish—

The many martial artists returned to their senses from the ocean fantasy, all looking toward Liu Wanshi who was stir-frying, and smelling the rich food aroma, they exclaimed, “It smells so good!”

The ocean world their souls entered was an illusion created by countless food aromas gathering.

The ten whales were the taste of the dishes being made by the ten Ouyang Family direct descendants. They were originally the most brilliant and eye-catching.

Unfortunately, when Liu Wanshi’s food aroma drifted over and intruded into everyone’s illusion, it transformed into a mermaid and stole away all the brilliance that should have belonged to the Ouyang Family’s direct descendants.

But here was the question.

How did Sect Master Jun appear in their illusion, even showing off by singing? Forcing yourself into the scene shouldn’t be done like this!

The aroma from Liu Wanshi’s cooking eroded everyone’s hearts.

After the ten judges smelled it, they put their heads together discussing, their eyes showing approval.

Relying solely on the drifting aroma, Liu Wanshi had already crushed the entire venue, becoming the most dazzling presence.

Ouyang Jun’s hands trembled with excitement.

Having eaten the Kung Pao Chicken, he had gained some understanding of his daughter’s culinary skills, but watching her cook with his own eyes today, he realized that what he understood was merely the tip of the iceberg!

“The food aromas from the ten Ouyang Family direct descendants were suppressed by her alone. This girl is not simple.”

“Just smelling it makes my mouth water. If I could take a bite, it would definitely leave an endless aftertaste!”

The watching martial artists were all seduced by the aroma from Liu Wanshi’s cooking, each one on the verge of drooling.

“Detestable!”

The ten Ouyang Family direct descendants were unwilling in their hearts, yet also helpless, because their dishes were about to be served and they could no longer make adjustments to surpass Liu Wanshi.

The other contestants were filled with admiration for this girl who was only eleven or twelve years old.

To be able to steal the spotlight from ten Ouyang Family direct descendants in the first round of competition was definitely very impressive!
