166 Chapter 109 Perfect Breakthrough_3
Lu Ran squeezed the juice of the Earth Mother Fruit into three small bowls and handed them to the three examiners, saying, "Please have a taste!"
At that moment, feeling the icy winds emanating from the Ice Crystal Plate, the three examiners all swallowed their saliva, not bothering to speak. They quickly picked up their chopsticks, clutched a piece of fish, dipped it in the sauce, and placed it in their mouths...
The first sensation, ice!
Whether it was an illusion or not, in that instant, they seemed to hear the howling of the north wind. A gust of cold air swept through their mouths, the cool touch shooting straight into their brains, instantly elevating the sensitivity of their taste buds to the extreme!!
Then, under this extreme sensitivity of taste, the deliciousness of the Dragon Fish Meat was perfectly conveyed to every part of their mouths. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The second sensation, freshness!
The entire process made the three examiners feel as though they had transformed into giant dragons soaring through a blizzard!
Suddenly, the taste underwent a stunning transformation, as if they had crossed through time and stepped into a vibrant spring, soaring straight to heaven.
The combination of Cooking Intent, ingredients, and dipping sauce brought them a third, completely new sensation!
It was the joy of the spirit, the springtime of taste buds.
"Delicious!!!"
The female examiner couldn't help but moan. The nutritional value of the Dragon Fish Meat went without saying, and the Blizzard Cooking Intent brought its flavor to the utmost while perfectly retaining its nutritional value. As the fish slid down their throats, all three examiners could feel the exhaustion of the past few days dissipate in an instant.
Swoosh! Swoosh!!
After their indulgence, the three examiners, as if gone mad, quickly scrambled for the remaining slices; no one was willing to yield to the others. Soon, the slices of fish cut by Mr. Husky, which were thinner than those cut by the noodle chef, were completely devoured.
"Gone? All gone?"
Having finished the slices, the three examiners seemed to still crave more. This had never happened before; with other candidates' dishes, each examiner would only taste one bite before making a judgment. But with Lu Ran's dish, it appeared they hadn't had their fill.
Right at this moment, Bai Ling from the Four Saints Gang returned, looking disheveled.
Riding atop the White Tiger, she cradled a massive egg, which also seemed to be some sort of rare ingredient.
"I stole an egg from a Dead Alligator; this is a sure win," Bai Ling said excitedly. This was an ingredient of rare quality, and she intended to use the simple method of boiling an egg to win the approval of the three examiners.
However, as soon as she returned, she witnessed a scene that left her in utter silence.
She saw the plump examiner saying to Lu Ran before him, "Cut a few more slices, will you? That little bit isn't even enough to get stuck in my teeth. I feel like I have ants crawling all over me, it's so uncomfortable that I can hardly breathe. Just a few more slices, please!"
Although the silver-haired elder and the female examiner were more reserved, their gazes were seriously fixed on Lu Ran, as if to say he was being too stingy!
To only cut nine slices from such a large fish?? Are they beggars to bilk?!
10:42
To only cut nine slices from such a large fish?? Are they beggars to bilk?!
Bai Ling, egg in arms: ???
What's going on! What on earth did Lu Ran feed the examiners; why are they acting as if drugged?
It must be said, the ultimate dish created from the Mutated Dragon Fish combined with Blizzard Sword Intent was indeed one of the strongest in the category of incomparable delicacies.
Even the three veteran top-class chefs were completely captivated at that moment!
"Alright, alright, that's enough..." Lu Ran looked at Mr. Husky, then decided to cut a bit more. After all, he still needed to ask the three examiners to introduce him to the training holy land, so he couldn't be petty!
At that moment, the grand arena of the top-class examination seemed to become Lu Ran's main stage, where even the three examiners succumbed to the "Roar of the Ice and Snow Giant Dragon."
"Delicious!"
"Simply heavenly, claiming it as nearly a world-class culinary creation would not be an exaggeration."
"Pass! A full score without a doubt!"
The examiners were not stingy with their praise.
Meanwhile.
Lu Ran's expression changed.
Because he suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ear.

Lu Ran: "!!!"
Damn.
After the system's series of announcements, Lu Ran stood there, dumbfounded.
"No," Lu Ran quickly said to himself.
Finally breaking through! And it's a perfect SSS class breakthrough!
The rewards for Breaking through the Secret Realm with an SSS class rating... are too tempting.
Things like crystal coins are a given.
But for a beginner to break through the Secret Realm and receive a World's Rare level item!
Of course, what surprised Lu Ran the most was not the cooking equipment.
It was this Beast Training Technique...
Historical records state that in the 139th year of Beast Training, Emperor Yan Sizhen of the second generation, in order to better study the art of cooking and forging, developed the Beast Training Technique, Flame Spirit—this was Emperor Yan Sizhen's signature Beast Training Skill!
