The tails of those wooden sticks were quivering.
The faces of the other East Island Realm experts turned ashy. They didn’t expect the match to end so quickly.
Behind the light screens, many experts also watched with wide eyes. The leader of the East Island Realm was a Little Saint, and yet he was so easily defeated.
Although the fight happened in a flash, the struggle within was not as simple as one would have thought. It was a fierce battle, the fight between morale, strength, and mental force. In the end, Fa Wu had defeated the leader of the East Island Realm, suppressed his strength, and overwhelmed his mental force. As a result, a Little Saint was nailed to the ground.
There was no killing, but the result was no less cruel.
The leader of the East Island Realm looked dull and absentminded. The first victory for the West Little Buddhism Realm came so naturally, and the monk was even eating octopus tentacles when he won the match.
His leisurely attitude rendered the East Island Realm experts helpless. After all, the West Little Buddhism Realm was a fearsome world.
There was a break after the first match. The winning side could choose to let the contestant continue to fight the next match or send another contestant. In any case, the team that won three matches won the team competition.
Fa Wu had thought of letting his junior brothers experience the atmosphere of the competition, but when he turned around, he found none of them. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he touched his bald head. He knew without thinking that his junior brothers must be gathering in front of that stall.
“They can really ignore the tournament for the sake of delicious food…” Fa Wu sighed helplessly. In the end, he had no choice but to remain in the arena. It was not something difficult for him, though. With his strength, he could effortlessly defeat all the opponents from the East Island Realm.
Sure enough, the following matches were one-sided ones. Fa Wu defeated all his opponents without showing mercy, and his leisurely look made the whole East Island Realm feel defeated.
For the East Island Realm contestants, it was plain bad luck to have encountered the West Little Buddhism Realm, and they had expected such results. Had it not been for them, their realm would have gone further in the team matches.
They had lost their hopes for the team matches. After losing so miserably, they didn’t even have the chance to advance to the next round. Therefore, they could only lay their hope in individual matches. Only in individual matches could they bring honor back to the East Island Realm and exhibit their strength.
…
Meanwhile, there was a long queue in front of the stall.
Bu Fang held a spicy strip between his lips, narrowed his eyes, and cooked skillfully.
Around the stall, many people were holding skewers of steaming and aromatic octopus tentacles, their faces covered in happy smiles.
Juice and oil oozed as the tentacles were being bitten by them, and the chewiness of the meat widened their eyes. It was so delicious that they wished they could have more. Therefore, those who had finished their octopus would go to the end of the queue and wait patiently to buy again.
Xuanyuan Xiahui swallowed with a look of disbelief on his face. He turned to look at Bu Fang, who seemed extremely calm. A great wave was stirring in his heart.
‘The Great Demon King is indeed worthy of his reputation. Everything is under his control. He has once again created a miracle, conquering everyone in this strange place with the charm of delicious food…”
Looking at those Immortal Crystals the customers paid him, Xuanyuan Xiahui was dumbfounded.
‘A skewer cost ten Immortal Crystals. Owner Bu cooks at least ten skewers and up to thirty skewers at a time, which means he’s earning three hundred Immortal Crystals at one time…’
He had thought that a stall would not earn a decent profit, but now it seemed that he was wrong, terribly wrong.
The stall’s profit was far beyond his imagination.
Besides, there was only one stall here in the whole square, which belonged to Bu Fang.
Looking at the oily lips and excited faces around him, Xuanyuan Xiahui breathed a long sigh of relief. ‘Sure enough, I did the right thing in believing in Owner Bu!’
Mo Yan and Fang Yu were already stunned and confused. The development was completely beyond their expectation.
‘The Great Demon King… really managed to get his stall up and running… He really publicized the Immortal Cooking Realm’s cuisine…’
As for Zhu Yan, there was an incredulous look in his eyes, which looked funny with his bloody nose and swollen cheeks. He couldn’t help but feel shocked when he saw that Bu Fang’s business had exploded, that the Immortal Crystals kept pouring in.
However, his expression soon returned to normal. He even looked somewhat desperate. What was the use of running a successful stall? If they lost the competition, they would have to return home.
It was no big deal to go back to the Immortal Cooking Realm, but what upset him the most was that he would become the laughingstock of all and couldn’t wash away the shame. He had been in high spirits, wanting to show everyone the dignity of the Immortal Cooking Realm, but now he could only become a laughingstock. How could he not feel upset?
“The next match will be fought between the Immortal Cooking Realm and the Blackwind Continent,” Commander Mo Yuan said from the arena. As soon as he said that, the audience watching the competition began to chatter noisily.
The Immortal Cooking Realm was a famous world. After all, it was not weaker than Nether Prison in the past. Of course, today’s Immortal Cooking Realm was in decline and no longer had its former reputation, but that had not stopped others from being curious about it.
The Blackwind Continent was a continent near the Abyss. Its strength in this tournament was considered to be below the average. For a truly superior world, it was pitifully weak, but for the Immortal Cooking Realm, it was not weak at all and could even be considered as a tough opponent. It was mainly because Realm Lord Di Tai didn’t send any true experts this time.
Far off, when Zhu Yan, who was standing in front of the stall, heard Commander Mo Yuan’s words, his face turned pale instantly.
Mo Yan and Fang Yu also heard that, and both of them turned to look at Zhu Yan.
“It’s our turn?”
Mo Yan and Fang Yu suddenly became nervous. This was the first time they took part in such a major competition, so naturally, they were very rattled. They had been so surprised by Bu Fang’s actions that they had no time to be nervous. Now, they finally came to their senses, and their bodies were shaking.
“You go tell the Great Demon King… Fang Yu and I will go first,” Zhu Yan told Mo Yan. He glanced at Bu Fang, who was busy cooking and taking Immortal Crystals from customers. A helpless look flashed across his face, then he turned and walked toward the arena with Fang Yu.
Mo Yan froze in place. It was not until Zhu Yan and Fang Yu had gone that she came to her senses.
She turned to look at Bu Fang, who held a spicy strip between his lips and shouting with the customers. Suddenly, she was a little scared.
“What is it?” Xuanyuan Xiahui glanced at Mo Yan, who appeared to be hesitating, and asked with a frown.
“It’s our turn to fight in the team matches. Zhu Yan and Fang Yu already went to the arena… They asked me to inform… the Great Demon King…”
Xuanyuan Xiahui nodded. “Who are we up against? Do you know about their strength?”
“Our opponent is the Blackwind Continent. They have three half-step Saints and two Nine-star True Immortals…” Mo Yan answered. After that, she fell into silence.
Xuanyuan Xiahui nodded again.
Clearly, the Blackwind Continent’s strength was far greater than theirs. It looked like they needed Bu Fang’s help. After all, the results of the team match would affect the honor of the Immortal Cooking Realm, and Xuanyuan Xiahui would not dare to mess with it.
However, before he could say anything, Bu Fang’s voice already rang out beside his ear.
“You go watch the match. Inform me when both of them are defeated. I’m very busy at the moment.” After saying that, Bu Fang continued to cook the octopus tentacles.
That gave Xuanyuan Xiahui a pause. He nodded hurriedly, then ran toward the arena with Mo Yan.
Bu Fang glanced at their departing backs with an indifferent expression.
“Owner, give me ten more skewers!”
“Coming…”

When Zhu Yan stepped into the arena, the audience roared with laughter. It was because of his swollen face. The Vajra Realm expert had cunningly beaten him up, causing the injuries to stay on his face even now.
Zhu Yan’s face flushed with embarrassment.
“Haha! So this is the immortal chef of the Immortal Cooking Realm? A guy with a pig’s head?”
“Is he beaten up by someone before stepping into the arena?”
“I heard he’s the leader of the Immortal Cooking Realm team… The once fearsome realm has indeed declined…”
The audience’s laughter resounded incessantly.
“Hahaha! Do you guys see that? I’m the one who beat up that little lizard! I thrashed him well, didn’t I?!” The Vajra Realm expert was laughing in the distance. His voice seemed to send waves across the air, causing people around him to burst into laughter as well.
Zhu Yan’s face shifted between blue and red as he shot a hateful glance at the Vajra Realm expert.
…
Meanwhile, in the Immortal Cooking Realm…
In front of the light screen, all the people were silent and breathing rapidly.
None of them had thought that the contestant of the Immortal Cooking Realm would look so miserable as soon as he stepped into the arena. It was not what they expected.
The head of the Zhu family looked gloomy. The junior of his family was humiliated, and naturally, he was outraged.
It was a humiliation for the Immortal Cooking Realm!
“Fight! Defeat them!”
“Show them the Immortal Cooking Realm’s strength… Beat them to death!”
“Dammit! Chop them with your kitchen knife!”
All the immortal chefs were aflame with indignation. Their anger seemed to be ignited.
…
On the light screen, the battle slowly began.
The Blackwind Continent took their opponent lightly. After all, Zhu Yan was only a Six-star True Immortal, too weak to arouse their interest. Therefore, the Blackwind Continent sent their weakest Nine-star True Immortal to fight the match.
Even though he was the weakest Nine-star True Immortal, he didn’t take Zhu Yan seriously.
“So much for the Immortal Cooking Realm…”
Outside the arena…
Mo Yan and Fang Yu were hopeful. They knew Zhu Yan had trump cards, and before they set off, their families had given them excellent things.
The Zhu Family had high hopes for Zhu Yan, so he naturally had more trump cards.
Buzz…
Sure enough, Zhu Yan’s expression changed as soon as the battle began. He became serious, and he produced an icy-blue kitchen knife. The moment the knife appeared, the whole arena seemed to turn into an icy field.
“A supreme-grade immortal tool?” The Nine-star True Immortal of the Blackwind Continent narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. He glanced greedily at the kitchen knife in Zhu Yan’s hand.
‘The Immortal Cooking Realm is truly worthy of its reputation. A lean camel is bigger than a horse… Supreme-grade immortal tools are extremely rare in the Blackwind Continent, and yet a mere Six-star True Immortal from the Immortal Cooking Realm could have one. But… this supreme-grade immortal tool will soon be mine!’
With a roar, the Blackwind Continent expert moved. His figure suddenly turned into a dark shadow and emanated a towering aura that kicked up a powerful wind.
The whole arena was shaking.
All of a sudden, a gust of black wind blew over.
Zhu Yan focused his eyes, roared, and swung his kitchen knife, sending countless knife lights to fight the black wind.
However, it was a fight between a Nine-star True Immortal and a Six-star True Immortal. Even though the Six-star True Immortal had a supreme-grade immortal tool, the result was expected.
Accompanied by a cold laugh, Zhu Yan got a few more blows on his swollen head.
Blood spurted from his face as his body spun on the spot before crashing into the arena. His nose and mouth were spraying blood, and his breathing was weak.
The sight of blood excited the audience, making them scream with great excitement.
The Vajra Realm experts, on the other hand, were sneering.
“Weak… He’s too weak. He can’t even defeat a guy from the Blackwind Continent.”
The Blackwind Continent expert walked up to Zhu Yan, who was sprawled on the ground.
Zhu Yan tried to struggle to his feet, but the expert kicked him on the back and threw him back to the ground.
“You…” Blood spurted out of his mouth.
“You’re as weak as a lizard… so you’d better stay on the ground.” Sneering, the Blackwind Continent expert put a foot on Zhu Yan’s head, then snatched the kitchen knife from his grasp. While toying with the knife, he kicked Zhu Yan again and threw him out of the arena.
Xuanyuan Xiahui’s face turned bloodless as he clenched his fists. No matter what, Zhu Yan was from the Immortal Cooking Realm. The fact that he was humiliated by someone was like a slap in the realm’s face.
Besides…
What happened might have been seen by the whole Immortal Cooking Realm. Their weakness was openly displayed to everyone in the realm, and it was bloody torture to their hearts.
“I’ll fight the next match!” Fang Yu roared, already furious. He kicked the ground and leaped into the arena.
Xuanyuan Xiahui gave Fang Yu a deep look. After asking Mo Yan to take good care of Zhu Yan, he turned and walked toward the stall in the distance.
Xuanyuan Xiahui knew that Fang Yu was definitely no match for the Blackwind Continent expert.
However… were there really no worthy experts from the Immortal Cooking Realm?
No… The Immortal Cooking Realm still had Owner Bu, the Great Demon King who could stir up storms!
‘Beat them all to death… Owner Bu!’
At the thought of the scene when Zhu Yan was being tortured by his opponent, Xuanyuan Xiahui felt as if a fire was burning in his heart. At this moment, he felt a surge of emotion. He was looking forward to what would happen when Bu Fang stepped into the arena!
The Great Demon King could definitely achieve what they couldn’t!
