The story of Shokugeki begins when Alice picks him up and brings him home

The bustling villa returned to silence, with only the kitchen brightly lit.

·

·

At the same time, various areas in Guangzhou.

"The legendary kitchen utensils, the kitchen utensils that can recognize their owners, there are actually such things in the world?! It seems that I have to participate in this competition!"

In the dark night, a man in his early thirties got off the plane, looked at the content on his mobile phone, and silently clicked to register.

·

·

"Seventy years ago, I participated in a knife-fighting competition in front of the gods. Unfortunately, I was eliminated in the first round because of my poor cooking skills. I never had the chance to touch 'that knife'. This time, I must fulfill my wish!"

In an extremely luxuriously decorated villa, an old man leaning on a cane muttered to himself, with a determined gleam in his eyes.

·

·

"Interesting, really interesting! I never thought I'd be able to see a duel between two great swordsmen in my lifetime! I wonder how many masters will come!"

In the dim restaurant, the man opened his arms and laughed.

·

·

"Finally I can have a fight with that brat. I hope those old guys won't accuse me of bullying the weak. But it doesn't matter if they say so. I won't listen anyway. I'm going to compete with him today no matter what!"

Drink from big bowls and eat meat with big mouthfuls.

Inside the tavern, a bearded man wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth and a happy expression appeared on his face.

The day before the competition, countless chefs rushed to the competition site.

Each of them is curious about the legendary kitchen utensils, and they are eager to try and see if they are the so-called destined one!

Many of them had heard of the legendary kitchenware a long time ago, but many more did not know about it. With curiosity and expectation, they came to Guangzhou.

It was a sunny day with a pleasant temperature.

There was a crowd of people in front of Guangzhou Daxian Temple, and everyone was looking at the area surrounded by a circle of ropes with anticipation. That was the competition venue.

There are thirteen cooking tables in the venue, with various ingredients placed on them. This competition adopts a screening and duel system.

The so-called screening duel system is to let the top chefs cook according to the requirements at the same time. Those who meet the requirements will stay, and those who fail to meet the requirements will leave.

When there are only four people left, the official swordplay showdown can begin.

Such competitions are not uncommon in China. They are usually held suddenly over a short period of time, and are held at most twice a year by provincial chef associations.

In this showdown of knife skills, the Guangdong Chefs Association directly gave out all the high-star chef promotion spots within a year! The rewards are extremely generous.

"It seems like this is it."

Following Li Wanwan and others to the competition venue, Bai Yuan was then led by the staff to the place for the contestants to rest.

Looking at the sturdy wooden door, Bai Yuan pushed it open and walked in. Countless eyes were looking at him.

"So young! He's already a top chef at this age. What an amazing guy!"

"Whose family is this young master? How come I have never heard of him? Such a young top chef should be very famous!"

"Maybe the news was blocked. This is the case for all big families. This is also to prevent the younger generations in the family from becoming restless because of these false reputations."

"That makes sense."

Bai Yuan's appearance instantly sparked discussion on the scene. Everyone was curious about him because he was too young!

"Good morning everyone, my name is Bai Yuan, and I'm glad to be your opponent."

Hearing that everyone was talking about him, Bai Yuan was very excited. He immediately raised his hand to greet them and briefly introduced himself.

These are all top chefs, pillars of the culinary world. I didn’t expect to see so many at once. It’s quite surprising!

"Hello, my name is Qin Lie, I'm good at cooking over high heat, nice to meet you."

As Bai Yuan finished speaking, a tall figure suddenly walked towards him with a simple smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to him while speaking.

"Nice to meet you too."

Bai Yuan smiled and put his hand on it, briefly shook it and wanted to leave, but he didn't expect that the other party was unwilling to let go, and at the same time a huge force came at him.

Looking at the smile on the man in front of him, Bai Yuan immediately understood what he was thinking. He originally wanted to show him a warning.

He really knows people and faces but not their hearts.

The people around looked at the joke and no one stepped forward to help.

Unfortunately, the person he met was Bai Yuan.

The next moment, a huge force like that of a brown bear came from Bai Yuan's fingers, causing the honest man's expression to change, and then he put on a mask of pain.

Chapter 76: Two rounds of screening, the final four!

“It hurts! Let go! Let go now!”

Beads of sweat the size of beans fell from his forehead. The tall and strong man Qin Lie shouted in pain, and at the same time shook his hands vigorously, trying to shake off Bai Yuan's arm.

However, it was in vain. Bai Yuan ignored his wailing and just looked at him with a smile. At the same time, he increased the strength of his hands until he fell to the ground in pain.

"Remember, if you participate in the competition, participate well and don't try to do anything tricky. This is just a lesson for you. You won't be so lucky next time."

He would encounter this kind of person in every competition. Bai Yuan shook his head and let go of his hand, letting him collapse to the ground, covering his right hand and screaming in pain.

Bai Yuan knew better than anyone what this guy's intention was. If he was just an ordinary person, and was pinched by Qin Lie, a 1.9-meter-tall strong man, he would most likely not be able to participate in the knife-working competition.

This will directly eliminate a competitor, and the probability of getting the top three will increase. I can only say that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

This guy didn't even think about it. How many of those who can become top chefs are simple guys? Who among those who have been in the kitchen for a long time is a weak person!

Treat others in their own way, glance at Qin Lie who was wailing in pain, find a place with few people around, sit down, close his eyes and rest.

The others watched this scene, no one stepped forward to help, and few even took a second look. After all, this guy had brought this upon himself, and Bai Yuan had shown mercy by not crippling him directly.

“Ah…hiss…”

Qin Lie grabbed his arm on the ground for a long time, then stood up after a long time. He glanced in Bai Yuan's direction with an angry look on his face, then stood up and left the lounge.

No one paid attention to this little episode.

As time went by, the staff in charge of the lounge came to the scene and informed them that the assessment would begin in ten minutes.

Immediately, the top chefs who were resting in the lounge stood up one after another.

Five minutes later, on the playing field.

"Look! Teacher Bai Yuan is out!"

In front of the Daxian Temple in Guangzhou, Mu Kuchi and Yuan Guo and others found a relatively front position where they could see the entire game.

Suddenly, Li Wanwan said excitedly, and the others looked in the direction she pointed, and immediately saw Bai Yuan standing in the center of several contestants.

At this moment, Bai Yuan waved to them.

"The God Sword Showdown is about to begin. I am really looking forward to it."

"I heard that the minimum requirement to participate in the God-front Knife Skills Contest this time is to be a top-grade chef! The champion will directly receive the title of top-grade five-star chef!"

"Look! Those are the four kings of the Guangdong Chefs Association! Wait, why are there only three of them?"

"I don't know. Maybe one of them is busy. It's amazing that three of them came. These are all big names in the chef world!"

The audiences in the audience were chattering about the topic. Suddenly, someone raised his hand and pointed above the contestants’ competition area. Several big names of the Guangdong Chefs Association walked out slowly.

However, what was surprising was that there were only three superstars on the stage, and one was missing. It was not known whether he was the last to appear or had something else to do.

"Wow~"

Ignoring the comments of the audience, the wooden door behind the Three Kings of Guangchulian was suddenly opened, and then four monks in monk robes walked out.

They walked in unison, holding up a wooden shelf in their hands. On the shelf lay something wrapped in red cloth. As soon as it appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

“The legendary kitchenware is in that one.”

"I heard that over the past few hundred years, countless knife skills competitions have been held in front of the Daxian Temple in Guangzhou. However, no matter how talented the chef is, he cannot be recognized by it!"

Someone looked at the area wrapped in red cloth, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Isn't this obviously fake? This knife has been in Guangzhou for hundreds of years. It's amazing that it hasn't rusted! The chef gets the knife's approval? Do you think this is some fantasy novel?"

Youli Zhongke crossed his arms over his chest, his voice unconsciously raised, and he complained with great disdain

"Whether it's true or not has nothing to do with us. Anyway, we are not asked to go up and recognize the master. I can actually watch the competition of top chefs in person in this life. It really makes my heart beat faster!"

The audience who came from far away were excited. At this moment, the top chef was ready and was waiting for the organizer to announce the start of the competition.

"Then the knife skills showdown between Daisenji Shinzen and the true successor of the legendary kitchenware is about to begin!"

After taking a look at the audience gathered at the scene and the top chefs who had already perked up their spirits, Master Baiyao stepped out from among the three heavenly kings.

“The ingredients are various fresh vegetables, and the first round of assessment is to make these vegetables into salads that meet the standards.

The time limit is five minutes, and you are required to freely combine the vegetables in the basket on the left side of the cooking table. Each person must complete more than fifty salads, otherwise they will be judged as unqualified. "

It sounds simple at first glance, but it is actually incredibly difficult. Making salad is not difficult, but the difficult part is making fifty servings in a short period of time.

"Five minutes? Fifty salads? Are you kidding me?"

"That's outrageous. However, the Guangdong Chefs Association will not set an assessment that is impossible to complete. What is difficult for us may be easy for those top chefs. At least... there must be someone here who can do this!"

"I didn't expect it to be so exciting right from the start! I'm already looking forward to it!"

As soon as Master Baiyao finished his words, there was a sudden gasp of surprise from the audience, especially the audience, whose faces were filled with shock and anticipation.

To prepare fifty salads in five minutes requires extremely good knife skills. It is impossible to complete it no matter how hard you try to cut the vegetables!

And this is the highlight of the swordplay showdown between the gods!

"Fifty salads are a little rushed, but it's not a big problem. But isn't it a bit too much to start with this intensity?!"

A two-star chef held two knives and had a surprised expression on his face.

Although it is not particularly difficult to prepare fifty salads in five minutes, it is definitely not easy. At least it is impossible for a chef who has not received special training in this area to do it!

However, since it has reached the special level, the basics must have been polished to perfection.

"Then, the test begins."

As the monks brought stacks of plates to the contestants, Master Baiyao glanced around and finally looked at Bai Yuan. After finding that he was a little careless, he waved his hand and announced the start of the test.

The next moment, all the chefs took action, including Bai Yuan who had been silent.

Suddenly, a 'Wu Qu Knife', famous for its sharpness and cutting speed, appeared in his hand, and he poured a basket of ingredients onto the cooking table in front of him.

"Flowing Light, Instant Shadow Slash!"

With a light shout, he slapped the table with his hand, and his powerful internal force immediately made all the food on the table fly into the sky.

Bai Yuan used another secret skill he learned in the dark cooking world, Flowing Light and Instant Shadow Slash!

This method can quickly process a large amount of ingredients and allow these ingredients to meet the chef's cooking requirements in a very short time.

As Bai Yuan's voice fell, the Wu Qu Sword turned into a stream of light in the air and processed the food flying in the air at an extremely astonishing speed.

Every time the knife flashes, it is accompanied by a subtle and crisp cutting sound, which is the sound of ingredients being precisely divided, stemmed, and sliced.

In a flash, the originally messy ingredients were carved one by one into salad ingredients of uniform size and perfect shape.

The lettuce leaves are finely chopped into thin strips, the tomatoes are evenly chopped into small cubes, and the corn kernels retain their original freshness.

Everything seems so harmonious and orderly.
