The Divine Chefs turned and rested their eyes on Bu Fang as he walked toward the array, spinning his kitchen knife. They were astounded.


Is he going to take on the third test?



But he just took a brief rest. Why is he in such a hurry? Is he sure he can complete it? Or he just wants to give it a try?


Luo Sanniang and Master Cheng were staring at him as well.

There was an excited look in Luo Sanniang’s eyes. She could hear an unusual meaning in Bu Fang’s words. ‘Does he mean that he’s very confident of himself and sure that he can solve the third test?’

Master Cheng, however, was contemptuous of that.
You did complete the second test by a fluke. Why can’t I say it? How could you be so arrogant when you are just a Spirit Divine Chef? I can’t wait to see the look on your face after you failed! Hmph!


After that, he flicked his sleeve and walked upstairs. Luo Sanniang followed. Both of them stood behind the railing and watched from across a distance.

No one dared to disturb Bu Fang. He was the only person who tried to solve the third test so far. Before this, no one had done it, and for a long time to come, he might be the only record bearer.

The food ingredient of the third test was a round grain of rice. It was very plump and glittering like jade, but it was very tiny. The third test was harder than the second test!


Wow! What’s that?!
exclaimed a Divine Chef.

Attracted by his voice, the people around him turned and followed his eyes. The next moment, the sound of gasps rang out here and there, while everyone was shocked and looked at the two finished products in the distance with horror.

Those were Bu Fang’s work, the white radish and the tofu he had cut. With nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine cuts, the radish was carved into a dog. It looked very lifelike. Its tail seemed to wag, and one of its paws was raised as if to tear the sky apart. It did not seem to be carved out with so many cuts.

The crowd could sense the pressure coming from it and even a strange essence of Law it contained. They all rested their eyes on Bu Fang and felt incredulous. If it was not too surprising for them that Bu Fang had completed the tests and broken the record, then the objects he had carved astonished them.

While focusing on the knife technique, he was able to perfectly carve a radish into a work of art. It was a feat that impressed many Divine Chefs. But what really stunned them was the tofu, which he had made nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine cuts. Bu Fang had carved it into a peerless beauty, whose lifelike hair waved gracefully when it was placed in the water.


This… Did he imagine the object he wanted to carve when he was making all those cuts? This level of divine sense is simply… monster-like!


Luo Sanniang was already struck dumb by the two works of art, especially the beautiful girl. The carved tofu was not broken when it was placed in the water, and its hair, all of which were carved out of the tofu, waved gently. It was like a masterpiece from heaven! She never knew that a chef’s knife technique could be so incredible!

However, just as everyone’s attention was focused on the carvings, someone else exclaimed. Luo Sanniang and Master Cheng both turned around, and what they saw froze their faces in an instant. They were struck dumb, while the nearby Divine Chefs all kept exclaiming.

The people who saw Bu Fang’s movements were stunned by his sequence of actions. In just a few breaths, he had completed the third test. Yes, he had completed the third test!

Looking at the array, which was rumbling and crumbling, Luo Sanniang did not know whether to cry or laugh. What happened just now? Was the third test really so easy?

On the other hand, Master Cheng’s face was dark, and he was very regretful. Bu Fang had completed the third test in just a few breaths. What did that mean? It meant the third test was very simple. Perhaps the first two tests were too difficult, so the third one was very easy. However, as he worried that he could not complete it, he did not take up the second test.

As a result, Bu Fang had completed it before him. Had he known that the third test was so easy, he would have chosen to solve the second test earlier!


Dammit!
Master Cheng was extremely regretful, but it was no use crying over spilled milk.

Easy? Was it really easy? Was the third test really so easy to solve when the first two were so difficult? Perhaps only Bu Fang knew the answer.

The third test required him to carve on the rice grain with the Kitchen Knife of Affliction, and he must make nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine cuts. Also, the strength he used in each slash, as well as the gap between cuts, must be identical.

If he were to do all that on a radish, that would be acceptable. But the ingredient was a rice grain… On top of that, he had to use a huge kitchen knife to carve on it. This instantly elevated the difficulty many times.

It might seem that Bu Fang had completed the test in a few breaths, but during this short time, his mental force was extremely stressed, and his divine sense seemed to burn. To others, it was just a few breaths, but he felt as though he had spent several years to complete it. The moment he finished the carving, his divine sense was almost completely drained.

Easy? No, it was not easy at all. Only Bu Fang knew the difficulty. It required an extremely precise control to carve on a rice grain. After all, the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife was too large compared to a rice grain.

Bu Fang held the round rice grain between his thumb and forefinger and slowly brought it to his face. As he looked at the carving, the corners of his lips curved upward slightly.

Under the bright light, the rice appeared somewhat translucent, and if one looked carefully, they would see a tiny painting carved around its surface. It looked simple, but it was a beautiful landscape.

Bu Fang loosened his grip. The rice grain immediately flew away and hovered beside the array. At this moment, the inheritance’s first layer of seal began to slowly collapse. When the array was finally gone, the second array was revealed, emanating strange power that made Bu Fang take a step back.

The Divine Chefs around him all sucked in their breaths, while Luo Sanniang was so excited that she felt it hard to breathe. Hastily, she produced a jade talisman and sent her divine sense into it. The inheritance’s first seal was broken, and she naturally had to inform the Divine Chef Temple’s higher echelon. She knew that they would be very happy when they got the news. They had been looking forward to this moment for too long.

Bu Fang took a step back and studied the second array. A few moments later, he shook his head. He had decided not to touch it for the time being because he sensed a crisis in it. Clearly, it was much more difficult to solve than the first array.

As the first array crumbled, bits of bright light drifted out of it and rushed into Bu Fang’s body.


The Kitchen Knife of Affliction!


The eyes of all the Divine Chefs around him lit up at the same time. Although they could not remember the exact ways of using it, they knew that it was a profound knife technique desired by every Divine Chef. After all, it was a legacy left behind by an ancient Heavengod, who was the supreme existence in this Chaotic Universe. Naturally, such a legacy was very attractive.

A look of greed came over every face, and every Divine Chef looked at Bu Fang as if he was a piece of delicious meat. He was just a Demigod. With so many Gods present, they could beat him within an inch of his life, then force him to give them the knife technique!

Suddenly, Luo Sanniang jumped over the railing and landed beside Bu Fang, glancing around with a pair of sharp eyes as her fearsome divine sense spread. The power of seven different Laws lingered around her, and she gave everyone a warning look with her cold eyes.


Mister is now the Divine Chef Temple’s important distinguished guest. If you dare to harm him, it will be equivalent to challenging the Divine Chef Temple. You should know the consequence of that!
Luo Sanniang said coldly. Her charm was all gone at this moment, replaced by a murderous look.

The Divine Chefs returned to their senses in an instant. She was right. Although Bu Fang was just a Demigod, after solving the first seal, he had now become the Divine Chef Temple’s distinguished guest. His status was far greater than them, so they could not afford to offend him. Since the person or power behind the Divine Chef Temple could acquire the Heavengod’s inheritance, they must be extremely powerful. Everyone, including Master Cheng, killed off their thoughts of beating Bu Fang.

Luo Sanniang’s attitude toward Bu Fang was respectful, and that made her look totally different from before. There was even a hit of reverence in her eyes.


Mister, please come with me. I’ve prepared a top guest room for you. Also, feel free to ask anything from me. The Divine Chef Temple will surely fulfill all of mister’s requests… Any requests!


Her attitude slightly surprised Bu Fang. He gave her a deep look and thought of an idea. ‘If the Divine Chef Temple can help me, it will save me a lot of trouble…’

In the distance, Master Cheng was already burning with jealousy. All these special treatments were supposed to be his. He could imagine that from today on, the Divine Chef Temple, who had once granted him whatever he requested, would probably ignore him completely.

All this was because of this young man! At the thought, Master Cheng’s anger boiled over. He flicked his sleeve, then turned and left the place angrily.

Many Divine Chefs had left as well—they were going to spread the news. After all, many powers in the capital were watching the Divine Chef Temple’s every move. How could the inheritance of an ancient Heavengod not attract the attention of others? Perhaps the whole capital would shake when the news was spread.


You will fulfill any request?
Bu Fang’s eyes lit up as he stared at Luo Sanniang.

Luo Sanniang paused, and her face became a little embarrassed. ‘Why is this young man looking at me like that? Could it be…’ For a moment, she did not know how to answer.

Bu Fang stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, his eyes gleaming. As Luo Sanniang’s heart beat faster and faster, he said,
I need you… I need you to find me a store in the capital. Also, I need the invitation to the Beast Appreciating Feast, which will be held by the young master of King Pingyang three days from now.


When she heard Bu Fang’s requests, Luo Sanniang’s heart seemed to stop, and she could not help but roll her eyes at him.
