"Mentors, I think you are probably too tired and need to rest."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fanya's strange expression deepened. "You...did you really make this demonic dish yourselves?"

"this…"

Upon hearing this, the examiner paused slightly, then stiffened his neck and said, "I...of course I've tried!"

In fact, they had never tried it.

This question was created on the spot by several tutors. Before this, no one had ever cooked bamboo rats and rattle snakes together.

After coming up with this topic, the mentors were quite proud, feeling that they had invented a new magical dish because this dish has great benefits for the human body.

Based on the characteristics of the bamboo rat and the rattlesnake, this dish is believed to have the effect of relieving erysipelas and widening the meridians.

They were naturally aware of the characteristics of the Echoing Snake meat, but because of the powerful neutralizing effect of the Heavenly Spring Grass and the universal softening ability of the Hawthorn, they immediately felt that it was foolproof.

Therefore, no attempt was made.

Now, being questioned by Ji Fanya like this, he actually felt somewhat guilty.

However, theoretically speaking, they really couldn't find anything wrong with it.

"Justice resides in the hearts of the people; the mentors should go and cook it again."

Ji Fanya didn't say much, only calmly saying, "As for the answer, the mentors can think about it themselves. May I begin the second round of testing?"

It was mentioned before the exam that those who submit their papers early will be able to prepare for the magic meal in advance.

Competition is inherently brutal, and the best people always have priority.

"Okay...go...go ahead..."

The mentors were still speechless, unsure whether the answer was correct, and could only nod blankly and let him leave.

Ji Fanya didn't care about the professors' reactions. After drawing lots, he looked at the exam questions and started preparing.

Since this is a real battle, we naturally need to actually make a magical dish.

The academy prepared all the necessary ingredients, but among the available herbs, in addition to the essential ones, they added several others that were similar in effect or appearance to confuse the students.

How to distinguish and find the correct combination depends entirely on the candidates' skills.

While all the other candidates were still working on the theoretical questions, Ji Fanya had already begun preparing for the cooking, which put a lot of pressure on everyone.

However, Shi Keliang and Xue Xiaoqing were not among these people.

Following Ji Fanya, the two of them also stepped forward to hand in their papers shortly afterward.

Originally, Shi Keliang had hoped to wait for his tutors to grade his papers, but he found that none of them had shown up.

It seems that he really did follow Ji Fanya's advice and went to test the recipe.

But didn't the mentors say they cooked it themselves? Does that mean they don't trust their own abilities?

In any case, there is no answer for the time being. Although Shi Keliang was somewhat unwilling to accept this situation, he had no choice but to go to the cooking area to continue the assessment.

Because each candidate's cooking task is different, the cooking area adopts an open layout, so everyone can see all the operations being carried out.

Xue Xiaoqing had originally planned to greet Ji Fanya, but after witnessing his series of culinary skills, she was speechless and completely stunned.
