After the sea dragon eel was served, Arufalo introduced it on the side: "This is a 103-level ingredient that our food club caught last month when we went to the Sea of ​​Return of Light in the food world! It is considered the little overlord of the nearby sea area...

Its characteristic is that it has extremely strong vitality. If it is not anesthetized, even if its body is broken, it can regenerate immediately, and even the broken part can attack the enemy.

It is also very difficult to cook, which made the chef Carlomade helpless for a while... Its bones are not only slender and hard, but also densely distributed in every millimeter of meat. It also has the ability to regenerate. Even if the core dragon bone is pulled out, the thorn bone will regenerate calcium from the meat out of thin air.

The usual cooking method is, It is to soften the bones before eating. It is necessary to carefully pick out the nerve endings around each thorn bone, and the number of times the thorn bone regenerates cannot exceed three times, otherwise it will not soften! It is a food that tests the level of delicacy.

And after using this normal method to complete the dish, if the diner's "food righteousness" or "food pressure" is not up to standard, when eating, the softened bones will harden again...

But with the fine skills of Chef Chiyo, even if the bones are removed, it can still "cheat" the regeneration mechanism of the sea dragon eel! Now even diners who don't understand food righteousness and food pressure can enjoy it with confidence.

So... Master Zhen Zhenzhen, don't worry, just eat it! "

Food righteousness" and "food pressure" are both skills as a diner. Some cooks still like to cook alive, and there is no clear prohibition in the Eight Methods of Gourmet.

Utilitarianally speaking, food righteousness and food pressure are both for sensitive and delicate ingredients-ordinary ingredients can be absorbed as long as they are eaten normally, but the effect may be slightly different.

Chiyo is now transforming special edible ingredients into ordinary ingredients. In terms of cooking skills, she is indeed very accomplished.

But Zhen Zhenzhen was not moved at all. Instead, she was very repulsive to this cooking method. Even if there was no utilitarian reason involved, Zhen Zhenzhen, as a master of food ethics, had always been practicing food ethics from the heart.

Zhen Zhenzhen clasped her hands together and bowed to the head of the sea dragon eel. Then she pointed her fingers like needles and tapped the gills of the sea dragon eel... The light of life in the sea dragon eel's eyes disappeared.

"How hypocritical." Chiyo sneered.

Rather than saying that Zhen Zhenzhen was hypocritical, it would be better to say that Chiyo was "provoking" - the "living" of this living dish was meaningless.

Although the vitality of the sea dragon eel allowed Chiyo to clean all its bones and internal organs, and it could still be alive after being roasted, there was actually no meaning in being alive, and it would not make the dish more delicious.

Moreover, she deliberately placed the head in front of Zhen Zhenzhen, which was obviously a provocation...

Wasn't she worried that Zhen Zhenzhen would affect her evaluation of her dish by ruining her mood for tasting? Or was he not prepared to abide by the bet in the food battle? - Guan Liyuan wondered.

At this time, Arufalo brought three stacks of "side dishes", which looked like some kind of nuts, and was very stingy, with two nuts as big as fingernails on each plate!

"This is... the fruit and seeds of the rootless flower, right? So that's it..." said Jane Zhenzhen.

Guan Liyuan stared at the nuts on the plate for a long time before he realized that there was still some difference between the two.

"Yes, it is the specialty of the food world, the rootless flower! Although the capture level is not high and it is not harmful, it has an interesting ability. After the creature eats the fruit of the rootless flower, when the food cells are active and the breath of life increases, it will provide additional energy to the seeds, allowing it to bloom...

Since the topic of this food battle is 'life', then using the rootless flower to assist in the judgment is also very fair, right?" Arufalo said.

Simply put, this thing can monitor the changes in vitality and food cells - only when the food cells are active and the vitality increases, it will absorb energy, which is difficult to manipulate artificially.

"Absorb energy? Is it really harmless?" Guan Liyuan muttered.

"It's just before digestion. If the stomach is good, it can be digested in a few hours, and the calories absorbed are not many." Zhen Zhenzhen explained.

Since even Master Zhen Zhenzhen said so, and Sanhu was right next to him, there was no need to plot against him in this way, so Guan Liyuan also picked up one...

"That... Mr. Guan, you are holding a seed." Arufalo said.

Unqualified waiter!

Guan Liyuan curled his lips, and then silently changed another one and threw it into his mouth - the taste was a bit like pistachios!

After that, the three of them picked up knives and forks, and each cut the roasted sea eel meat from the section in front of them...

The more delicious the food cells are, the more intense their reaction will be, and "life" is also the theme of this food battle. If any of the two elements is missing, the rootless flower will react indifferently!

After the three people put the roasted sea eel meat in their mouths and chewed it...

Sanhu's expression did not change at all, and even his eyes did not move at all, as if he did not feel any satisfaction.

After tasting the food, Zhen Zhenzhen's expression did not change.

Only Guan Liyuan showed an intoxicated look, and even his muscles swelled up for a while before recovering.

While the delicious food stimulated his taste buds, he also felt waves of life force washing over his body!

As for the other two people, with the level of evolution of Sanhu's gourmet cells, no matter how delicious the sea eel was, it would not make him evolve. Moreover, after Froze's death, Sanhu's mind had begun to twist, and he would not react to "delicious food", as if he was a beast with only appetite.

And Zhen Zhenzhen's reaction was understandable - given his relationship with Chiyo, he must have mixed feelings when tasting her cooking again at this time, and he also mastered "food", so even if the level of evolution of gourmet cells and calories increased, he would not easily show it.

In contrast, only Guan Liyuan's body was very upright...

And at this time, the seeds of the rootless fruit in front of the three people began to change - without soil, water, or roots, they directly stretched out stems, buds, and then bloomed, as if they were accelerated hundreds of times! However, the seeds in front of

the three people reacted differently.

The seed in front of Sanhu only perfunctorily blossomed into a small flower bud, while the seed of Zhenzhen instantly blossomed into three fist-sized flowers of different colors and shapes...

This difference is not surprising. With Sanhu's strength, roasting the sea dragon eel alive did not help him much, and the touch of the breath of life was also minimal. The blossoming of this flower already symbolized Qiandai's profound skills!

In comparison, Guan Liyuan was very eye-catching...

When Zhenzhen blossomed three flowers and stopped, Guan Liyuan had already blossomed more than a dozen flowers, and had no intention of stopping. For more than a minute, it seemed as if a wreath was placed in front of him!

Not only Zhen Zhenzhen, Chiyo, and Arufalo looked at him in surprise, but even Sanhu was attracted to some attention...

The evolution level of this guy's gourmet cells... is too low, right? Can a sea dragon eel bloom so many flowers?

Such a low evolution level is also a shocking thing - after all, everyone present knows Guan Liyuan's strength. Although he is far from being comparable to Sanhu, and it is unknown whether he can compete with Zhen Zhenzhen, but normally... the cell evolution level should not be so low!

However, the victory or defeat is not about who has more flowers, but the number of flowers after each person eats Liu Maoxing's food in a while compared with the current number...
