Fire Control Challenge?
Bu Fang was surprised. The next challenge would be on fire control. It was the first ti Bu Fang took such a test.
Many people would think that controlling the actual flas wouldn’t be a big demand for a chef. Controlling the duration and degree of the heat would be more important.
However, Bu Fang deed that if soone couldn’t control the flas, how could they control the duration and degree of heat?
The old man clasped his hands and continued to move forward. The stiff-faced man and the beautiful woman followed him, walking away.
They left the kitchen shortly.
Everybody followed them to another room.
This room was special. It wasn’t another kitchen as Bu Fang had imagined. It seed to be a closed space, which was really hot.
The high temperature had scared so people.
At the mont Bu Fang entered the room, he could feel the hot air moving around. This burning heat surprised him, but it also gave him a familiar feeling.
What?
A Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla?
The Fire Control Challenge would use a Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla to test them?
It was worth the reputation of the Valley of Gluttony: they were rich and overbearing!
The Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla was sothing one could et by chance, not by demand. Bu Fang was really lucky to get the Ten Thousand Bestial Fla. The Valley of Gluttony used them to test the contestants... Even the Pill Palace couldn’t afford that.
The old man still walked upright with his hands clasped behind his back. People followed him, with faces full of curiosity.
Shortly, they ca to a high platform. Thirty people who had passed the previous challenge gathered around it.
The stiff-faced man looked at the crowd, talking casually, “In the Fire Control Challenge, you will be asked to control the fla. Of course, this fla isn’t sothing ordinary. The stronger the fla is, the more spirit energy and better fragrance your dishes can have. It can promote the best of your food. However, it’s more difficult to control the strong fla.
“It’s also the reason why we set up the Fire Control Challenge.”
The beautiful woman scanned the group, then continued the stiff-faced man’s topic. “This challenge will use the fla provided by the Valley of Gluttony. It’s what you should be concerned about. This fla is very hot.”
The stiff-faced man nodded to the woman then walked to a corner.
Shortly, sothing bood. It seed that sothing had just been opened up. The entire place was lit up, as if it was a lantern with burning fire inside.
At the center where they gathered, a cluster of red flas shot up into the air, burning furiously. A scorching hot temperature filled the room.
Everybody was startled, trying to retreat.
“This is the diluted Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla. Although its power isn’t as strong as the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla, and its heat isn’t as hot as the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla, it’s the tool to test you guys this ti,” said the woman.
She ca to the fla and rose her hand to cover it in midair.
A mont later, the air surged.
The fla revolved, illuminating her face in a red light.
Boom! Boom!
The fiery fla burned harder, releasing intensive heat. However, a mont later, the fla was pressed down, becoming like a little kitten.
“What you need to do is to control the fla. Each of you has the ti of drinking half a small cup of tea. I hope you can do your best.” After speaking, the woman returned to stand by the old man.
No doubt that the old man was also the judge of this challenge.
Facing the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla, even though it wasn’t the real one, everybody looked stern.
It was understandable to ask alchemists to control the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla, but they were chefs! In which given circumstance they needed to control such a furious fla? The functions of the flas to them were just to heat up and cook the ingredients well.
Regarding the kind of fla it was, it wasn’t really important.
“The first contestant...”
The woman didn’t mind the others’ mood, calling their nas directly.
...
Bu Fang wore an odd face when he saw the red fla. Although it was burning hot, to Bu Fang, it wasn’t really threatening. Anyway, he got a real Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla in his body.
Jun Qingxiao shivered while walking toward the fla, reaching out his slender hands.
The fla dashed toward him. After a boom, his face turned extrely ugly.
“So hot...” muttered Jun Qingxiao.
However, he just said that, but his hands never ceased moving. As his energy was expanding, the fla was under his control. It quietly lted like a cute kitten.
After a mont, Jun Qingxiao’s facial expression changed. Instantly, the fla rose high.
Boom! Boom!
The fla rolled, surging like an enraged beast.
“Good... You can descend now.” The old man interrupted Jun Qingxiao’s Fire Control test, talking directly.
Jun Qingxiao was surprised, climbing down the platform.
Bu Fang nodded. He didn’t think that Jun Qingxiao could control the fla skillfully like that. He had surprised people, indeed.
“Worth being Old Cui’s disciple. That old man must have taught the kid how to control the fla...”
The old man with the handlebar mustache grinned as he looked at Jun Qingxiao leaving. A mont later, his eyes turned to Bu Fang.
“You’re up.” He told Bu Fang gently. He didn’t know why he didn’t get used to seeing this kid.
“Finally, it’s my turn... I’m really in a hurry.” Bu Fang walked out of the crowd, talking with an emotionless face. This ti, no one dared to ridicule him. Bu Fang’s knife skill had convinced most of them. God knew what else this kid got.
“In a hurry? Then try to get it done as quick as you can...”
The corners of the mouth of the old man arched as he eyed Bu Fang.
Bu Fang rose his brows, walking to the fla. After the fla was diluted, its power was reduced massively. To Bu Fang, it wasn’t really challenging. He rose his hand, covering the fla.
From a distance, the stiff-faced man saw Bu Fang standing in front of the fla. He pressed his lips and sent his true energy to the formation in front of him.
Boom! Boom!
The fla in front of Bu Fang burst furiously and directly! The fla rose higher in the sky.
Everybody was startled, hurrying to back off.
Bu Fang’s face was unconcerned. His Vermillion Robe slightly swayed as it released a layer of energy to separate him from the heat.
“If you’re in a hurry, take action now. If you can press down that furious fla, you’ll pass. What do you think?” said the old man.
The fla at this mont had an extrely high temperature, which was almost as fiery as the real Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla. Ordinary people couldn’t endure that kind of heat, and they weren’t strong enough to control that fla.
Bu Fang glanced at the old man.
People surrounding him paled.
Jun Qingxiao’s face reddened. The Sixth Elder was aiming at Bu Fang again.
“Okay,” answered Bu Fang. “You may release the real Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla. This thing isn’t straightforward enough,” added Bu Fang.
Bu Fang’s words surprised everybody else. The beautiful woman was perplexed, and the rigid-faced man was bewildered. The old man squinted, looking at Bu Fang with the corners of his mouth arching... Interesting characteristic.
He rose one hand, waving at the stiff-faced man.
When the stiff-faced man got the signal, he was sowhat anxious. The array moved and the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla was fully released.
Boom! Boom!
The high platform seed not able to endure such a high temperature. It was about to lt.
The transformation of the fla and the trendous heat made people move backward.
Although they weren’t weak, the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla was really a threat to them.
Bu Fang’s hair fluttered. The fla hissed and roared like an enraged beast that showed its fangs to Bu Fang, who in turn looked at the fla. The scarlet fla was reflected in his eyes.
Not bad! This is enough!
After a mont, Bu Fang chuckled. His ntal energy torrentially flowed like water.
Rumble! Rumble!
As his ntal energy pressed on the fla, Bu Fang thought he heard so roaring. The fla resisted Bu Fang’s ntal energy, struggling hard and burning down every wisp of his ntal energy that ca near.
Eh?
Bu Fang was surprised. He didn’t expect the fla to be so furious like that.
The beautiful woman sneered, watching Bu Fang. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, which showcased her stunning curves.
However, at that mont, people were all concentrating on Bu Fang.
How could a chef control the fiery Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla? If Bu Fang were an alchemist, he could try once.
Bu Fang was trying to probe it. His ntal energy shot like a lance, thrusting into the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla. He took long steps, slowly approaching.
After a mont, everybody gawked and dropped their jaws. They had to take a deep breath imdiately!
“This boy is crazy!”
“My God... What am I watching? What the heck is that?!?”
“Huh? Is he really human? ”
...
People shuddered because they were watching sothing they would never forget.
The old man with the handlebar mustache and the beautiful woman were dumbfounded.
Bu Fang walked to the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla, with both of his hands reaching out. His surging ntal energy had to struggle a lot to suppress the fla.
Press it... Press it...
The Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla was slowly shrinking.
Eventually, it beca a fiery fireball, full of scorching power.
However, what made people really shudder was the next scene.
Bu Fang tucked his tongue out, licking his lips, and his eyes were hot. Then, he shoved the compressed Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla fireball into his mouth.
Shoving it into his mouth...
Everybody quieted down, followed by an uproar.
Holy sh*t!
That fellow could eat... fire?
Okay, not only eating fire, he actually ate the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla? The fla that could tear people’s bodies apart?
And, more importantly... at the mont that fella ate the fla, why did he have to make such an excited face? Was it really glory to eat the fire? Was it really happy to eat it?
It would burn him!
The old man’s hand trembled. He had almost plucked his boastful curved ends of the mustache.
Bu Fang had shocked him, indeed. He had shoved the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla into his mouth... Since tis immorial, only this kid could do that?
Would he die? Even though he was in a hurry, he didn’t need to eat the fla... The brutal Heaven and Earth Obsidian Fla would burst him open!
Everybody stared at Bu Fang, waiting to see the fla rip him apart.
However, after a long mont of silence...
Burp!
Bu Fang parted his lips to let out a wisp of smoke and a burp as though he was really full.
