Question, Understand, Become a Holy Lord

The combination of Chu Zihang and Su Si also successfully passed the first round. However, compared to Chu Zihang who could already control Su Si's [Word Spirit·Sword Control], Su Si's mastery of Chu Zihang's [Word Spirit·Jun Yan] was much worse.

Jun Yan is a rather violent Word Spirit, and Susie's talent is really limited, so the two of them plan to consolidate their defenses, do their jobs as well as possible, and then look for an opportunity to attack.

Eri and Kikyo were also very relaxed. Although Kikyo was not a hybrid and had never used the power called Word Spirit, as a powerful priestess, her control over power was far more delicate than that of ordinary hybrids.

Although she and Eri had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, she would not show mercy in the face of the enemy's small moves. Under Kikyo's control, [Word Spirit·Judgment] accurately killed the opponent's Word Spirit that was affecting this side, and Kikyo also took the opportunity to kill the opponent's fire source, leaving the opponent with no fire available.

After a fierce competition, the first round of eliminations ended before many teams even finished making three dishes.

The process of the second round of eliminations is almost the same as the previous round, but all the contestants in this round no longer have any luck and have completed their transformation, facing the upcoming difficult challenges in their best form.

After the first stage of screening and the first round of warm-up in the second stage, the players on the field can be said to have unique skills, and the intensity has risen to a higher level compared to the first round.

The two groups that fought the most fiercely even had their pots on both sides exploded at the same time. As a result, they were judged by the Shadow Legion soldiers to have violated the rules at the same time and were both eliminated. As a result, an extra group of players were successfully awarded a bye in the next round.

The second round of the competition took much longer than the first round, mainly because the two teams could not do anything to each other and could only cook to the end and have a normal cooking showdown, so it took some extra time.

After the competition came to the third round, there were only 32 groups left in the field, which means that as long as they could win this round, they would get a minimum of 5 ranking points as a reward. After fighting to this point, no one wanted to lose here, so everyone was gearing up for a great fight.

In this round of competition, the enemy that Xia Mi and Fenrir faced was the combination of Chu Zihang and Su Si.

"Hahaha, what a coincidence, Senior Brother Chu..." Xia Mi greeted Chu Zihang using Fenrir's voice. It was not that she didn't want to hide her identity, but she couldn't hide it at all with Fenrir around, so she might as well take the initiative.

"You are... Xia Mi and Xia Fen? Why are you participating in the second round of the game again?" Chu Zihang said with some surprise. He didn't expect to meet the two brothers and sisters in the game again. Xia Fen was naturally the name that Xia Mi gave Fenrir on the spur of the moment last time.

"Since we can't die anyway, and this game doesn't sound too cruel, I thought I'd try my luck. I didn't expect to stay until now." Xia Mi said embarrassedly in Fenrir's voice.

"Who is this?" Su Si asked Chu Zihang with some confusion.

"Xia Mi from the preparatory class and her brother Xia Fen, I had contact with them for a period of time in the last round of the game." Chu Zihang gave a brief introduction.

"My name is Susie, and I'm also a sophomore at Kassel College. Since you're my future junior, then..." Susie asked Chu Zihang for his opinion.

"Just a normal cooking competition, is that okay?" Chu Zihang and Su Si's style is defensive counterattack. At this moment, facing acquaintances, they will not take the initiative. It would be best if they can complete the competition peacefully.

"Of course no problem, I'll listen to you, senior brother." Xia Mi agreed happily, but she still planned to do something secretly in her heart. After all, she had no confidence in her cooking skills.

However, he could only do some small tricks and must not let them notice. After all, he would enroll in Kassel College later. He could only attribute his victory to good luck. If his performance was any more outrageous, he would be put on the suspect list.

Xia Mi had made up her mind, secretly controlling the power, planning to create a small bulge on Chu Zihang and his team's site. If it worked, it would be great. If it didn't work, there was no need to increase the risk of exposure.

The third round was even more tense than the first two rounds.

On the battlefield in Angers, Flamel simply gave up cooking and relied entirely on [Word Spirit·Eternity] to play tricks on the enemies. He even fell in love with the feeling of traveling in a field where only he could accelerate, and even had the idea of trying to get an armor engraved with [Word Spirit·Eternity] in the later games.

However, this idea that was not conducive to playing badly was thrown out of his mind the next second. The reason why he was willing to work so hard this time was because Angers lent him the [Dragon Soul Armor·Black Sun] that he won in the previous round to study for a long time in exchange.

The team of Eri and Kikyo encountered some minor problems this time. Due to Kikyo's unfamiliarity with the Word Spirits, their own kitchen utensils and stoves were destroyed. Although Kikyo quickly counterattacked and killed the opponent's kitchen utensils along with the fire source, this round of duel was still full of suspense for them.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the results of the third round of confrontation appeared one by one.

Susie was careless and tripped over the bump created by Xia Mi. Although she did not fall, it still affected the completion of the dish, allowing Xia Mi and Fenrir to win with a slight advantage.

However, this also made Chu Zihang a little suspicious, because in his impression, that position should be a flat bronze ground, but because the bulge was too small, he was not too sure.

The old rogue duo of Angers and Flamel naturally won easily, and the opponent didn't even complete a complete line in the end.

The combination of Eri and Kikyo also barely won. Although the kitchen utensils and stoves on their side were broken, they were still able to start a flame. But the other side couldn't even start a fire, so even if they had all kinds of tricks, they couldn't use them at all.

Then came the fourth round, which was the knockout match of 16 to 8. At this point, even if Xia Mi wanted to say that she was lucky, almost no one would believe her, so she and her brother Fenrir deliberately lost the game.

After all, there are only eight stages left. If they go any further, Fenrir's identity will be difficult to conceal. In fact, even now, both of them are at certain risk of being exposed. After all, as long as the score list changes, everyone will know that Fenrir, the King of Earth and Mountains, has gained points again.

Fortunately, the Shadow Legion soldiers seem to have a very strange set of rules for judging their rankings, so they cannot be directly targeted by changing their scores on the standings.

Among the sixteen groups of people left now, except for people like Ange whose words spirit characteristics are extremely obvious and cannot be hidden, most of them have made some disguises. Chu Zihang is not the kind of person who will tell others about his own affairs, so they are safe for the time being.

It was only afterwards that Xia Mi realized that she seemed to have been a little careless and that the points had gone to her head, but fortunately she reacted in time.

The competitions from eight to four and four to two are even more intense. No side can complete three dishes smoothly. In the end, the winner will be determined by which side's dish is more complete.

The two groups that finally made it to the finals were the old rogue combination of Ange and Flamel and the beautiful girl combination of Eri and Kikyo.

Chapter 144 Burn, Kitchen Soul!

"The final battle is coming up. After going through countless trials to reach the finals, what kind of exciting showdown will the two contestants put on for us? Let's wait and see!"

"There's obviously no spectators, but they talk as if it's as lively as the World Cup." Flamel, vice-president of Kassel Academy, complained. Now that they have reached the finals, he has no intention of just taking runner-up. If he can help Angers win first place, he can do whatever he wants in Kassel Academy for a long time.

Whether it is a beauty pageant, women's diving competition, women's figure skating competition, women's ballet competition... as long as it is not too outrageous, Angers has no excuse to stop him!

"You actually watch the World Cup? Aren't you a rugby fan?" Angers didn't expect to hear the name of the World Cup from his old friend, and asked in surprise.

"Isn't American football also football? It's reasonable for me to follow the World Cup. And I have to say that football is worthy of being the world's number one sport. Both the quantity and quality of football babes are much better than American football!" Flamel revealed his true nature in just two seconds.

"Sure enough, I shouldn't have any expectations of you..." Angé shook his head helplessly.

"Sister Kikyo, we must win!" Eri said to Kikyo with full enthusiasm. Although the original idea was to focus on participation, now that victory is right in front of them, there is no reason not to fight for it.

Although Kikyo is the main force in cooking and interfering with the enemy, she uses her body, so she has also contributed a lot!

"No problem, we will win." Although some aspects of this chef competition were too abnormal, Kikyo still found it very interesting. Since Eri wanted to be the champion, she should try harder.

"Now please ask the contestants on both sides to decide on the topics and bans." After seeing that both parties were ready, Bai Hen gave the next instructions.

Both the topic selection and the banning are decided first and then made public together, so there will be no situation where one person specifically bans the other party's topic.

"Okay, the first contestants to complete their selection are Angers and Flamel. The themes they chose are beef and fish, and the banned subject is dessert." As two old rogues who have lived for more than a hundred years, Angers and Flamel seldom cook by themselves, but they are actually quite capable.

Beef and fish are the two subjects that they eat most often and are the ones they are best at. Desserts are banned because they noticed that Eri and Kikyo seemed to be young girls, and guessed that they might be better at this type of subject.

"Ms. Eri and Ms. Kikyo followed suit and announced their choices. They chose ramen and chicken. As for the banned items..."

"They accurately completed the sniping of Angers and Flamel, and the banned item was beef!" In order to avoid some people raising unnecessary doubts about Bai Hen, Bai Hen must clarify that he really did not do any tricks in this competition, and he did not even do anything dirty in the draw and grouping!

"Three topics have been determined: chicken, ramen and fish. Beef and desserts are prohibited. The remaining two topics will be randomly selected after completing these three topics."

"The topic for the first round of the finals has been decided to be chicken."

"Then the second round of the Desire Grand Prix - the first round of the Chu Chef King Contest Finals, officially begins!"

"Tsk, what a bad start." The beef, which he was best at, was directly banned. Angé made a displeased sound.

"Compared to that, what we need to pay more attention to is the abilities of the two girls on the opposite side. I have observed them carefully before. It seems that they can kill matter and even concepts. I have never even heard of such powerful words! I am not sure that the commandments will be effective on her." As the game officially began, Flamel said to Angers with a serious expression.

"Yes, they have terrifying abilities, but I've also paid special attention to them. They don't seem to be the type to actively interfere with each other. Every time they attack, they only counterattack after the other party has made a move. In other words, if we don't do anything tricky, then this final will most likely be a normal cooking showdown."

Relying on their rogue abilities, Ange and Flamel almost always secured victory in advance. Naturally, they had competitors that they observed for most of the time, and the combination of Eri and Kikyo was also a top priority for them.

After all, their opponents almost always lost the game because they couldn't even make fire, so he couldn't help but take it seriously.

"Then let the girls see the cooking skills of this century-old rogue from the British Empire!" Flamel patted Ange's shoulder to encourage him.

"Don't think you can be lazy just by saying that, help together!" Ange knew Flamel too well, and he knew what he wanted to fart as soon as he saw him sticking his butt out.

While Ange was talking with Flamel, Kikyo and Eri had already started their preparations. After all, they were not controlling their own bodies, so they had to avoid complicated methods. Kikyo's final choice was Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken.

First, prepare a freshly slaughtered chicken, preferably a tender chicken weighing about one kilogram. Then remove the meat from the chicken, leaving only the head, wings, and skin. Especially the skin must be kept intact. This may take some time for ordinary people, but it is a piece of cake for Platycodon.

Next, marinate the chicken skin with onions, ginger and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell and set aside. Next, it’s time to prepare the shrimp paste.

Shrimp paste must be made with live shrimps to make it smooth and chewy. Peel the shrimps and smash them into paste until it becomes sticky.

Next, prepare the pork fat and cut it into cubes, mix it with shrimp paste, add appropriate amount of salt, MSG, egg white, pepper and wet starch, then add the crab roe of eight crabs and night-blooming jasmine, and stir evenly into a thin filling.

Then fill the mixed shrimp paste into the previously marinated chicken skin and spread it flat. After filling the entire chicken skin, brush it with a layer of crispy water and then put it into the oven.

After baking, drizzle the chicken skin with boiling oil until it is golden and crispy. The last step is to cut it into pieces and arrange it on a plate. This Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken with the fragrance of night-blooming flowers is ready!

"Hey, Ange, they've finished! If you don't hurry up and they take the initiative in the final, we'll be at a complete disadvantage!" Flamel, who was always on the alert for Kikyo and Eri, saw that their dishes were finished and quickly reminded Ange.

"I know, it's almost done!" Angers naturally noticed that the other party had finished, but the Bresse chicken with pig bladder that he was making now could not be rushed at all. It had to be simmered over low heat to maximize its deliciousness.

Ange was confident that even though the topic of chicken was proposed by the other party, his dish would definitely win.

Chicken bladder is a very traditional French dish, and Bresse chicken is a legendary French ingredient known as the "national chicken" of France. Angers can confidently say that he has already won in terms of ingredients.

Not to mention the other most important thing in this dish - pig bladder is an ingredient that takes a long time to process before it can be used for cooking. However, under the dream created by Baihen, Angé directly obtained a pig bladder that had been perfectly processed. This is why Angé decided to make this dish.

Although dishes with complicated steps do not necessarily taste better than simpler ones, dishes that have complicated steps but can still be passed down are more or less good. After all, if they are not good, they will be forgotten over the long years.

"The first round of confrontation seems a little dangerous. We shouldn't be so conservative." In order to reduce mistakes, Kikyo chose a method with relatively simple steps, but after seeing Ange's progress, she realized her problem.

The fact that she could basically win as long as she cooked the dishes made Kikyo misjudge the situation, so she chose to avoid mistakes. Now it seems that Angers is likely to succeed in stealing the first game.

"Done!" Angé calculated the time and finally completed the preparation of the pig bladder Bresse chicken before the end of the first round of competition. He confidently put it on a plate and held it in his hands.

However, Ange also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Kikyo and Eri were both people with good cooking ethics and did not interfere with him. Otherwise, he might have been defeated by now.

"Then please invite the contestants to submit their works to our judges and wait for scoring." The judges are still the soldiers of the Black Shadow Corps. There are a total of five Black Shadow Corps soldiers serving as judges in this final round. At this moment, they are sitting neatly in a row and staring at the two contestants with a scrutinizing eye.

According to the order in which the dishes were completed, the judges first tasted the Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken made by Kikyo and Eri.

Although the production process is relatively simple, the taste of Jiangnan Baihua Chicken is not simple.

It has a delicious taste, crispy texture, light and refreshing taste, and the addition of tuberose adds a unique flavor to this Jiangnan Baihua Chicken.

In the end, the scores of Jiangnan Hundred Flower Chicken were 8, 9, 8, 9, 8, a total of 42 points, with an average of 8.4 points.

After scoring the Jiangnan Baihua Chicken, the next dish was the Bresse Chicken with Pig Bladder made by Ange.

In the process of making Bresse chicken with pig bladder, black truffles are usually stuffed under the skin of the whole Bresse chicken, and then the whole thing is placed in the processed pig bladder and cooked.

Due to the special structure of the pig bladder, it can form an effect similar to that of a pressure cooker, which can allow the Bresse chicken to maintain its original flavor as much as possible during the cooking process while absorbing the special aroma of the pig bladder.

Its taste is unique and delicious. Bresse chicken is famous for its tender meat and rich taste, and the pig bladder adds a unique aroma to the dish. When combined with other ingredients such as black truffles cooked in the pig bladder, its taste becomes richer and mellower.

Angers' final scores were 9.10.8.9.9, totaling 45 points with an average score of 9.

"Oh, the result is really unexpected. I didn't expect that the question assigned by Kikyo and Eri would be won by Ange and Flamel. It seems that the outcome of this final is still a lot of suspense."

"Then please take a break, the four contestants. This [advertising space is for rent]..."

"The topic of the second round of competition is the topic designated by the duo of Angers and Flamel - fish. Can they continue to win this time? Let's wait and see."

"We must win this game as well, otherwise it might be dangerous." Although he just won a victory, Angers was not excited at all, because he could feel that the mentality of the other chef seemed to have changed. The real culinary showdown was about to begin!

"Sister Kikyo, what are we going to do this time?" Eiry asked Kikyo nervously. They had started off badly and were now completely in a passive state. They had to win this competition no matter what!

"To make a lamb in a fish's belly, Eri, go and help me prepare the lamb." Since she had just lost to the ultimate deliciousness of the pig bladder Bresse chicken, Kikyo decided to take revenge this time with the even more delicious taste!

"Yes." Eiry felt Kikyo's burning fighting spirit and suddenly became confident.

"Anger, why do you, an Englishman, keep cooking French food?" Flamel couldn't help but complain when he saw Ange preparing to make bouillabaisse.

"What else, do you want me to cook British food? Fried fish or looking up at the stars?" Is Ange not cooking British food because he doesn't want to? Obviously there is no way to cook it!

"Uh...that's right." Flamel thought about it and found that there was really no way to refute it.

Skipping the unnecessary waiting phase, after both parties completed the production, the scoring of the Shadow Legion began again.

This time, it was Kikyo who completed the production first, and we also tasted Kikyo's work first.

Lamb hidden in fish belly, as the name suggests, means lamb is hidden in the belly of a fish, wrapped in lard and roasted. Its taste is just like its ingredients, fresh!

It is said that in ancient times, the word "fresh" was originally written as three "fish" characters. However, due to the guess of "a sheep hidden in the belly of a fish" created by Yi Ya, the writing of the word "fresh" was changed to "fish" plus "sheep", which shows how delicious it is.

In the end, Platycodon received an extremely high score of 10, 9, 9, 10, 9, a total of 47 points, while Angers' Marseille fish soup had a total score of only 44 points, which was defeated by Platycodon.

"We've really been forced into a desperate situation now." Ange said with a serious expression. Although no one could see him under the cover of the armor, Flamel could sense his seriousness from Ange's attitude.

"The next game is almost certain to be lost?" Flamel asked.

"You're bound to lose." Most of Angé's knowledge about ramen came from Uesugi Yue, but Uesugi Yue was just an ordinary ramen chef, not the god of ramen. He couldn't think of how to win this game.

As expected, in the end Angers was easily crushed by Kikyo with a score of 33 to 45.

Chapter 145 Dragon Feast

"The score between the two teams is now 2:1. Kikyo and Eri are currently in the lead. The questions assigned by both teams have now been completed. The next questions will be randomly selected."

"I hope it's not a question that the opponent is good at, otherwise I can only take the risk and use the Word Spirit to decide the outcome." Although he was not confident enough, Angé would never hesitate when it came to the point of having to use it.

"The theme for the fourth round has been decided. It's the Dragon Feast!"

"What the hell?" Ange patted his head, trying to see if he had heard it wrong.

"This dragon should be a metaphor, right? Just like the crocodile is also called the pig dragon..." Flamel said hesitantly. How could anyone in this world plan to use dragons as food? Shouldn't the place where dragons should appear be the laboratory? Haha...

bang——

Two huge dragon corpses fell from the sky, successfully shattering the fantasies of Ange and Flamel. They looked at the dragon corpses in front of them, speechless for a moment.

"Can this thing be eaten?" Some people have drunk dragon blood. Those crazy people in the Beowulf family use dragon blood crystals to select babies. Only male babies who can survive the poison in the dragon blood are qualified to grow up.
