Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　At the same time, the pressure on my whole body intensified.

　"I am your master!"

　Feeling the pressure on his body, Bai Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and he roared angrily, staring fiercely at the golden dragon soul in front of him.

　"Roar!"

　The next moment, a roar came from the void, and the golden dragon soul circled in the sky before flying straight toward the Eternal Spirit Blade in Bai Yuan's hand.

　"Look! Something seems to be emerging from the blade!"

　In the audience not far away, Wang Wanqing pointed at the knife in Bai Yuan's hand, her lips slightly parted.

　"what is that?!"

　Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a majestic and powerful dragon, exuding an aura of majesty, suddenly appear on the kitchen knife!

　"After a thousand years, the Eternal Spirit Blade has finally found a new successor!"

　Master Baiyao looked at this scene with an extremely complicated expression, but overall he was happy because the legend was true!

　Legend has it that kitchen utensils can truly choose their own owners.

　"Ancient texts say that the Eternal Spirit Blade has the ability to restore materials to their freshness. I wonder if that's true! If it is, then this ability is simply too overpowered!"

　Li Xiang's voice rang out again. He stared at the Eternal Spirit Blade in Bai Yuan's hand with a fanatical expression, wishing he were the one holding it.

　"Then let me test its power!"

　Bai Yuan's voice rang out, and he walked towards the cooking station not far away. All eyes followed his movement and finally stopped in front of the cooking station.

　On the counter sat a fish that had been dead for who knows how long, the remains of the fish that Li Xiao had cut up.

　Now, under the high temperature of the sun, the freshness of this fish has dropped significantly, and no matter what kind of cooking it is, it won't taste very good.

　However, when Bai Yuan raised the Eternal Spirit Blade and gently sliced ​​it across the surviving fish, something miraculous happened in the next moment.

　The cut parts of the fish looked as fresh as if they had just been slaughtered!

　"What? The fishtail is moving?! Wasn't it dead for a long time?!"

　Li Wanwan's eyes widened as if she had seen something unbelievable: the fish that had died just hours before was now moving again!

　"This is the power of the legendary kitchen utensil! No wonder the book records that chefs a thousand years ago fought tooth and nail for it!"

　Li Xiang was equally shocked, even though he had anticipated the power of the Eternal Spirit Blade.

　But seeing a fish that had been dead for a long time come back to life still filled me with immense shock!

　Equally shocked were Zhang Xingyuan and Lei Tianci, who were closer to Bai Yuan. Greed quickly flashed in their eyes, clearly indicating their desire to possess him.

　That's normal, after all, these are legendary kitchen utensils, and it would be strange for a chef not to be greedy for them.

　"This is a nice knife, you should try it out."

　Seeing two

　Bai Yuan knew exactly what people were thinking from their eyes. He immediately twirled the kitchen knife in his hand and handed it to Lei Tianci, who was closest to him.

　These legendary kitchen utensils are not something everyone can handle.

　Having never recognized a master for a thousand years, Bai Yuan didn't believe that just anyone could gain its approval.

　"These are the legendary kitchen utensils?!"

　Taking the Eternal Spirit Blade from Bai Yuan, Lei Tianci murmured to himself, gently stroking the hilt with his fingers as if he were looking at his most cherished possession.

　"Hey!"

　Raising his sword high into the air, mimicking Bai Yuan's earlier movements, Lei Tianci let out a low shout, but unfortunately, the sword in his hand did not react.

　"drink!"

　Seeing the unresponsive blade, Lei Tianci thought his posture was wrong, so he raised the blade to the sky again, but the Eternal Spirit Blade still did not move.

　"What's going on? Is this knife broken?!"

　Lei Tianci frowned, trying several different positions without success, which made him wonder if there was a problem with the knife.

　"If the person is no good, don't blame the knife. Let me give it a try."

　"Young man, don't be so arrogant. If I can't do it, you might not be either."

　Hearing Zhang Xingyuan's words, Lei Tianci was also a little annoyed. He had finally obtained the qualification to be recognized as the master of the Eternal Spirit Blade, but the other party did not recognize him as the master.

　"It's okay, I'll give up."

　Zhang Xingyuan complained from the side, then took the Eternal Spirit Blade from Lei Tianci's hand and waved it at the sky a few times, but still there was no reaction.

　"Just as I imagined. If it were so easy to recognize a master, it wouldn't have been sleeping here for thousands of years."

　Zhang Xingyuan, on the other hand, acted quite nonchalantly. After all, this knife had been lying in Guangxian Temple for a thousand years. If it were really so easy to recognize a master, it wouldn't have come to this.

　"After obtaining the Eternal Spirit Blade, did you see anything?"

　After taking the Eternal Spirit Blade from Zhang Xingyuan, Bai Yuan suddenly asked a question.

　"No, why do you ask?"

　Zhang Xingyuan shook his head, then asked in confusion.

　"It's alright. It seems that only those who have gained approval can see that guy."

　"I have a feeling you're in Versailles. So, what exactly did you see when you held this knife?"

　Hearing Bai Yuan's mutterings, Zhang Xingyuan couldn't help but complain, while also curiously asking Bai Yuan what he had seen.

　"Yes, what exactly did they see? This knife has been without an owner for a thousand years, and the information available about it is pitifully scarce."

　Master Baiyao's voice also rang out from the side: the Eternal Spirit Blade had been sealed in Guangxian Temple for a thousand years, and now it was even gradually forgotten by people, who thought it was just a deified kitchen utensil.

　However, Bai Yuan's appearance clearly told everyone that this cooking utensil was not a deified cooking utensil; it was just that they were too incompetent to be recognized.

　"The golden dragon is so lifelike, it must be the soul of this kitchen utensil."

　"A golden dragon soul?!"

　"Such a miraculous thing has happened!"

　As Bai Yuan finished speaking, he found a not-so-fresh fish in the food basket and began to process it in front of everyone present.

　In less than a minute, thin slices of sashimi appeared on the plate, looking as light as gauze. In addition to keeping the ingredients fresh, the knife was also extremely sharp!

　"Judging from its appearance, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was just pulled out of the river and immediately slaughtered and cooked!"

　Master Baiyao muttered to himself, picked up a slice of raw fish with his chopsticks and examined it closely, finally arriving at this conclusion.

　"I can feel the river water wafting over this plate of sashimi, it's such an amazing feeling!"

　The skillful old woman also came over, looking at the fish that had been dead for a long time, and the extremely fresh sashimi on the plate, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

　"As expected of a legendary cooking utensil, it possesses such magical abilities. No wonder countless skilled chefs have come to challenge it over the millennia, yet it seems that only this one has truly succeeded."

　Looking at Bai Yuan, Fatty An no longer dared to treat him as a junior. Such amazing culinary skills made him a senior in every sense!

　If you try to act like one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Guangzhou Culinary Association at a time like this, you'll definitely be ridiculed!

　"Now that this knife has recognized me as its master, I should be able to take it with me, right? I'm going to take it on my travels and let it conquer the Chinese culinary world with me!"

　Bai Yuan said with great enthusiasm that, with his current strength, he felt like a max-level boss easily defeating a newbie village.

　However, there are certainly many technologies in this world that he needs to learn.

　The master of traditional Chinese medicine has mastered the art of soup-making, while the skillful grandmother has mastered the art of dim sum. These masters have immersed themselves in their respective fields for many years and have unique insights into their respective culinary specialties.

　Although he can create more exquisite dishes with his super senses, it will be difficult to go further if he does not understand its core principles.

　Therefore, Bai Yuan decided to continue his travels, going to various parts of China to exchange ideas with the masters and combine theory with practice, so that he could go further.

　"Of course, now that this knife has recognized you as its master, you are entitled to take it with you."

　However, I hope that a hundred years from now, your descendants will be able to bring it back and seal it again within Guangxian Temple, awaiting its next master.

　"Of course, thank you, Master Baiyao."

　Bai Yuan respectfully performed one

　He then turned his gaze to Li Wanwan and the others, giving them a smug smile, clearly in a good mood.

　·

　·

　Night falls inside the villa.

　"So, Professor Bai Yuan, are you planning to continue your travels?"

　Li Wanwan looked at Bai Yuan with reluctance, seemingly unwilling to let such a good teacher slip away from her, but she had no reason to stop him.

　"That's right, there are still many things I need to learn in China. For example, some ingredients can only be truly understood by seeing where they are born and grown."

　Bai Yuan looked at the sky outside the window with longing. This was something he had always dreamed of when he was in the Dark Cuisine World, and now he could finally realize it himself.

　"I'm thinking of dropping out of school to travel with you. I feel like I learn more from being by your side. Ah! This liquor is so strong!"

　Kakuzaki Taki took a sip of sake, then coughed violently. The girl's cheeks were flushed, and her voice was full of emotion.

　"Then I wish Teacher Bai Yuan a safe journey. It's about time for us to go back to school. Although it was only a few days, I feel that I have learned a lot. I will always remember this time."

　Kikuchi Sonoka spoke from the bottom of her heart, pouring wine for Shiroyuki as she spoke, often brushing against him intentionally or unintentionally because of her great figure.

　"Don't worry, I'll be going to Japan next year. We'll meet again someday, so there's no need to be so sad."

　Thinking of the tsundere heiress from Totsuki Academy, the gentle and intellectual secretary student, the fiery and sexy Mito Ikumi, and the mature and elegant Sakaki Ryoko...

　Bai Yuan couldn't help but swallow. He really liked these girls when he watched the anime, and now he could finally see them in person!

　Of course, the most crucial one is his little Alice.

　Although they had only been apart for less than a month, he had already begun to miss the girl who used to chatter away beside him.

　"Next year? Then we can meet again! Be sure to come find me at Totsuki Academy! I live at... this is the key to my house."

　Upon hearing that Shirai was coming to Japan next year, Kikuchi Sonoka immediately showed an excited expression.

　As she spoke, she reached out and hugged him from behind, pressing her body against him, and at the same time gave him a copy of her house key.

　Softness, ultimate softness, was the only thought in Bai Yuan's mind.

　A faint fragrance lingered around his nose, and Bai Yuan shamefully reacted, but on the surface he remained calm and composed.

　He has no experience in this area. What should he do now? Should he take the initiative? Or be passive? Will he be called a submissive man?

　As Bai Yuan pondered, just as he was about to do something, Mujichi Yuanguo had already gotten off his back. She had obviously realized how bold her actions had been, and her cheeks were frighteningly red.

　"Ahem, anyway, you have to come visit me when the time comes, Teacher Bai Yuan. I'll take you to see the cherry blossoms! The cherry blossoms in Japan are absolutely gorgeous!"

　"Okay, I'll come find you then."

　Although it was a bit of a pity that she left, Bai Yuan didn't care much. After all, Alice had done this to him countless times. It was just that the two of them were too close, so he didn't feel anything.

　This separation can create a sense of unfamiliarity between the two, and as the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder; a proper separation can actually enhance their relationship.

　Then, let's get straight to the stomach!

　It fits my size perfectly.

　"Teacher Bai Yuan, let's go on a trip together!"

　I've lived here for over ten years, and nothing will change if I stay any longer. Why don't I come with you? Father will agree!"

　Thinking back to the night before last, when Li Xiang came to her and told her to get closer to Bai Yuan, Li Wanwan's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still said firmly.

　"Take me with you. I'm exhausted from collecting rent at home. It feels meaningless all day long. I want to go out and have some fun."

　Upon hearing that Li Wanwan was going to go with Bai Yuan, Wang Wanqing, who had been eagerly anticipating the moment, frantically raised her hand, looking at the two of them with an expectant expression.

　"Okay, let's go together."

　Bai Yuan thought about it and didn't refuse, after all, both of them were very beautiful.

　Putting everything else aside, having one of them by your side would certainly be pleasing to the eye, and with one man and two women, who knows, they might spark some unexpected romance.

　Furthermore, he planned to properly nurture Li Wanwan. Now that she had established a firm foothold in Guangzhou, it was time to put a certain plan into action. He wanted to make a name for himself in this world!

　"so envious!"

　Upon hearing the conversation between the three, Hojo Miyoko and Kakuzaki Taki spoke almost in unison.
