The King of Beast Trainers

142  Chapter 100 World's Rare Dishes_1

Right then, Lu Ran deliberately described the Blizzard Sword Intent as a special culinary skill "Ice Snow Knife Technique" with confidence.

It was good that he had comprehended the Blizzard Sword Intent before entering, or he really would have had nothing to boast about.

He seemed so talented, it wouldn't be too much for some hidden master to come out and teach, would it...

"Ice Snow Knife Technique?" Manager Tong was taken aback.

"Ah..." Sister White Tiger and the others also looked at the inconspicuous Lu Ran with blank expressions, a special culinary skill?

You said you were a student, didn't you? Even if it's a culinary school's student, they wouldn't learn something like this!

It must be said, Lu Ran's speech craft successfully piqued Manager Tong's curiosity, and she looked at Lu Ran and began:

"Do you mean that your Pet Beast is of the Ice Attribute, and you possess the ability to draw on its strength, thereby exhibiting Ice Attribute powers?"

That would indeed be an advantage, similar to having a Pet Beast of the Fire Attribute. Though it wasn't rare among skilled chefs, it was at least better than the other five who couldn't do anything.

Upon hearing this, the other five also slowly understood, so that was it...

Ice Attribute Pet Beast + Special Beast Training Skill huh... that's nothing to write home about.

However, what Lu Ran said next was:

"No."

"Then it's that you have special Cooking Equipment, Cooking Equipment that contains Ice Attribute strength. Unfortunately, in the special class assessment, candidates are not allowed to use special Cooking Equipment."

"It's not that either," Lu Ran continued: "Without relying on external force, it is purely because I have honed myself day after day in order to become an excellent chef, cultivating my spirit to a certain realm."

"I... can do all this with my own strength!"

As soon as Lu Ran finished, Manager Tong was again stunned, and Bai Ling and the rest were equally perplexed. Not relying on Pet Beasts or extraordinary equipment... what are you getting at!

"Interesting little guy." Manager Tong was startled and then spoke with a smile, "This is intriguing. I want to see for myself what your 'Ice Snow Knife Technique' is all about."

"Come, follow me to the spare kitchen."

"You show me your so-called 'Ice Snow Knife Technique'!"

Lu Ran naturally had no objection, Manager Tong turned and left with a swing of her hips, and he followed without a word, as if triggering some hidden mission. Meanwhile, Bai Ling and the others continued to look confused but had no choice but to follow.

"Little Brother Wang, what's this Ice Snow Knife Technique nonsense?" Along the way, someone asked, unable to understand the situation.

"Uh... I can't explain it well either, you'll understand once you see it," Lu Ran said, knowing he couldn't explain that it was Sword Intent.

Soon, Lu Ran and the others were led to a kitchen. It was quiet, with no one around. The kitchen counter was filled with various Cooking Equipment, with styles from both the East and West of Blue Star, very comprehensive.

Manager Tong went to the corner, lifted a grey cloth, and took out a piece of meat from an unknown species. As for the meat's texture, it seemed similar to beef.

She placed the beast meat on the cutting board, nodded, and signaled Lu Ran to pick his own knife and start performing.

At this moment, everyone was observing the piece of meat, feeling it was no different from ordinary beef, nothing remarkable, while Lu Ran had already stepped forward, selecting from the many knives...

In a short while, Lu Ran found a knife that felt most comfortable in his hands. He didn't pick a cleaver but instead chose a piece of Cooking Equipment resembling a fruit knife... After twirling it in his hand, Lu Ran finally turned his attention to the beast meat.

The next moment, he took a deep breath, stepped forward, slapped the beast meat, grabbed it, and threw it up into the air. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Immediately after, he swung his knife with a speed that was difficult to see clearly, slashing wildly at the meat in the air.

During the process, with the gleam of the knife and the glow of a sword, all present could feel a chill rapidly spreading through their bodies, making the entire kitchen seem a few degrees colder.

Seeing this, all those present shuddered.

But what was most important was that, as Lu Ran stuck the knife into the cutting board, the falling beast meat had been neatly and smoothly cut into eight pieces.

This guy really knew his cutting skills!

No, a proper chef wouldn't dare to do this, who would cut meat mid-air like that, this technique didn't seem to be honed from cutting practices at all.

Of course, what they found most incredible was the state of the meat at that moment. Each cut surface of the meat was covered with a faint layer of frost, and none of the juices that seeped out from the meat spilled, all locked within the flesh. Even now, there were faint white chills emanating from these pieces of meat, clearly distinct from how they were before.

"What is this?" exclaimed the Mountain Explorer, genuinely surprised. He hadn't seen Lu Ran using the strength of a Pet Beast, and the Equipment was just ordinary Cooking Equipment, so why did the meat turn out this way? What kind of special ability was this!

The others, too, had their eyes wide open, having felt no Ice Attribute energy during the process.

But that meat...

"This..." Manager Tong's expression changed as well, and she quickly approached, reaching out to touch the beast meat.

Feeling the cold invade her hand, different from the freezing effect of temperature and Ice Attribute energy, at that moment, as Manager Tong touched the meat, she felt as if she were seeing illusions, herself in the midst of a blizzard... She shook her head violently, then incredulously looked towards Lu Ran.

"How about that." Lu Ran asked tentatively.

"'Cooking Intent'... who exactly are you?" narrowed her eyes, Manager Tong spoke, "Do you really need to come to Frost Moon Tower to study with such talent?"
