A Bite of Douluo Continent

Suddenly, a golden and silver light appeared on his body, and his body slowly became ethereal, as if he was about to disappear from the spot.

Yu Lianxin, who had just landed, was slightly taken aback when she saw the golden and silver light emanating from Qi Han. She then rushed towards Qi Han and asked anxiously, "Who are you?"

However, before the other party could respond, they simply vanished from the spot.

Yu Lianxin was left to slowly stop, her eyes flashing with astonishment and disbelief.

Gold and silver colors…

She had just dreamt of that golden and silver palace, could it be…?

"Senior Sister, who was that person just now?"

Yan hope slowly walked to Yu Lianxin's side and asked her with some curiosity.

That person just vanished from the spot like that. Could it be some kind of magical soul skill?

Who exactly is this person, and why did they arrive so quickly to help us?

“I don’t know…” Yu Lianxin shook her head slightly, looked at the large number of soul beast corpses on the open ground and the countless soul rings floating in the air, and sighed softly, “Everyone pack your things and get ready to leave. There shouldn’t be any more evil soul masters lurking in this soul beast forest. This time we killed an eight-ring evil soul master, so we have achieved our goal for this trip.”

"Yes!"

...

A series of golden lights flashed, and the illusory world returned to reality.

After the surrounding world transformed into a bright and clear one, Qi Han found himself in a brand new place.

This was a vast plaza stretching as far as the eye could see, not the previous platform sculpted from gold and silver crystal. Only the golden sun and silver moon in the sky reflected each other, proving that he was still within the boundaries of the Valley of Love and Destiny.

A golden and silver light rose from beneath his feet and slowly enveloped him. Qi Han could clearly feel that his mental and spiritual power was recovering at an astonishing speed.

Originally, Qi Han had unhesitatingly used the Six Techniques Combined to pose a threat to that eight-ring evil soul master, and he should not be able to use it again now. However, as his mental and soul power recovered to their peak, he felt that he could use this move again.

This put his mind at ease slightly, after all, he had heard it clearly, and there was still a third challenge to come.

According to his memory, there were only three trials in the Valley of Love and Destiny, and this was the last one.

Although he still didn't know what the third level was, with the trump card of combining six skills, he would feel much more at ease entering the third level.

"Congratulations on passing the second adventure. The next challenge is the final one: the Adventure of True Feelings. Once you pass this challenge, you can not only leave, but you will also receive a reward that I will decide." The mysterious voice paused slightly. "The challenge of the Adventure of True Feelings varies from person to person. Everyone who enters Qiankun Wenqing Valley will have a different challenge in this one. Now, let's begin."

As the mysterious voice finished speaking, the endless golden plaza around them began to tremble violently. Then, various scenes quietly appeared, and different images kept lingering and flashing in the air. Every ray of light generated a strong suction force.

Finally, a golden light quietly landed on Qi Han. He felt a strong dragging sensation carrying him towards a certain place, and then he disappeared from the square.

After a dizzying sensation, Qi Han suddenly felt a jolt throughout his body and regained a sense of solid ground, indicating that he had arrived at the location of the third level.

He slowly opened his eyes, but his expression was slightly strange.

The place where he was standing at this moment seemed no different from before; it was still an endless golden square, to the point that Qi Han even thought the teleportation had failed.

However, he soon realized he was overthinking things. Although the scene hadn't changed, there was now a person in front of him. It was a figure he couldn't see clearly, shrouded in a faint golden halo, with wisps of seven-colored light flowing quietly within the golden halo, reflecting each other.

Is this my third challenge?

Qi Han's expression became slightly strange.

He always felt a sense of familiarity with this situation.

After a moment's hesitation, looking at the motionless light and shadow ahead, he took the initiative to ask, "Hello, what is my third test?"

"Your third challenge..." the multicolored light and shadow in front spoke, a male voice with a hint of cynicism, "Don't rush that. Your name is Qi Han?"

"Yes." Qi Han's expression became cautious, sensing that something was amiss.

What does it mean to not rush through the third stage?

Seemingly sensing Qi Han's confusion, the seven-colored figure took the initiative to explain, "I am not your third test question, but if you want to pass the third test, you must pass mine first. You can think of it as... an extra question?"

Qi Han: "???"

His face immediately turned to astonishment.

It wasn't because of the extra question, but rather because similar words evoked his past memories.

Huo Gua had a similar experience during the third trial in the Valley of Love and Destiny.

And the person he met before the third trial was... Tang San, the Sea God!

Could it be Tang San standing in front of me?

Gu Lingqi Han carefully examined the blurry light and shadow in front of him, which was completely indistinct.

Something seems off. Tang San should have a blue-gold appearance, but the one in front of us is seven-colored gold.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the other party deliberately changed the color...

In short, the person standing in front of you is most likely a deity.

Wait... a deity?

The only deity connected to him seems to be…

Qi Han's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You are the creator of Ruyi?"

"Huh?" The figure in the light and shadow sounded somewhat surprised. "You actually guessed that?"

Qi Han: "..."

That's really true...

To be fair, Qi Han had a very good impression of the creator of the Ruyi system. The other party created the Ruyi system, which changed his life, and his transmigration might even have been influenced by the other party. Moreover, the other party had given him a knife, which was still his biggest trump card to this day...

So now the question is, what should you say when you first meet someone?

After a moment's hesitation, Qi Han spoke, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Oh?" The figure in the light seemed to have a hint of amusement in its tone. "How happy are you?"

How happy...

Qi Han was speechless for a moment.

The creator of this auspicious object seems to have a personality quite different from what I imagined.

He cleared his throat and decisively decided to skip the topic. "What is your test?"

Immediately, Qi Han seemed to realize something and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "You don't mean I have to fight you, do you?"

Huo Qubing was beaten terribly by Tang San back then. I hope I won't be beaten to a pulp before I can leave.

"Fight?" The figure was taken aback by Qi Han's abrupt change of thought. "Fight? What's the point of fighting? Who fights normally?"

Immediately, he snapped his fingers, and the boundless square instantly transformed into a scene he was very familiar with, as Qi Han watched in astonishment.

The kitchen in the training space.

This…

"The assessment is cooking. If you cook a dish that satisfies me, you can leave; otherwise, you'll stay here." The figure pulled out a recliner from somewhere, lay down comfortably, and then pulled out a book from somewhere else, flipping through it with great interest.

"Good luck, young man! I'm really looking forward to seeing you!"

Qi Han stared blankly at the seven-colored golden light and shadow for a long time before he came back to his senses and walked to the workbench.

He soon discovered that this place was almost no different from the training space. He could obtain all the ingredients he wanted with just a thought, and all kinds of high-tech kitchen utensils were the same as before.

The familiar surroundings brought him a little peace of mind.

Cooking is great.

It's better than getting beaten up.

If we're talking about the most top-tier dishes Qi Han currently knows, it has to be the four-star recipes.

It seems that I have no other choice but to satisfy the creator of Ruyi.

Then I'll cook a batch of both the peony fish fillets and the newly learned Zilong Armor Removal dish. I just hope the other party will be satisfied with the four-star recipe.

Having made up his mind, Qi Han began to get busy.

He didn't notice that after he took out all the ingredients for the two four-star recipes, the seven-colored golden light put down the book in its hand, glanced at his desk, shook its head almost imperceptibly, and then resumed reading the book in its hand.

Is using a system recipe just a way to satisfy yourself?

My own successor isn't very bright.

Fine, let him hit a wall.

...

Soon, Qi Han finished cooking both dishes. This place didn't seem to be in the Douluo Continent. As the two dishes were finished cooking, no strange phenomena appeared, but he didn't care. He handed the two dishes to the seven-colored golden light and shadow, "I'm done cooking, please."

He felt a growing sense of nervousness. This was the best dish he could cook at the moment, and if the other party wasn't satisfied, it would be very difficult to pass this test.

The other person took the chopsticks, slowly finished eating both dishes, and then glanced at Qi Han.

Although he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, Qi Han could feel that the other person's gaze was somewhat amused. His heart skipped a beat, and then he heard the seven-colored golden light slowly speak.

"Not satisfied? Let's start over."

Qi Han's heart sank.

It wasn't that simple after all.

Since the other party is the creator of the system, they must know that they have mastered the four-star recipe. If simply cooking the four-star recipe is enough to pass the test, then there is no need for the test at all.

But four stars isn't enough, does it have to be five stars?

What a joke! Forget about mastering it, he hasn't even obtained a single five-star recipe yet.

If you have to cook a five-star dish to pass the test, then that's just making things difficult for people.

Qi Han sensed that the other party didn't seem to mean that.

So, are there any other questions I haven't thought of?

Seeing Qi Han standing there, a thoughtful expression on his face, the man behind the light and shadow subtly smiled. He seemed to stretch casually and sighed softly, "This dish wasn't made with care. I'm not satisfied."

Qi Han's heart stirred slightly.

The food wasn't cooked with care?

That shouldn't be the case.

He clearly cooked dishes of the highest standard, and because he was facing the man's test, he maintained a high level of focus throughout, and the two dishes he cooked were even a bit beyond his usual level.
