[Race Level]: Advanced Extraordinary [Growth Level]: Level 11

[Introduction]: A ferocious fish that contains extremely weak dragon blood.

The dragon fish is a ferocious creature with a huge, smooth and streamlined body, sharp teeth in the front of its jaws and serrated teeth in the back of its jaws.

Because it contains a trace of dragon blood, its combat power is extremely strong. Even out of the water, it can still flap and burst out with huge impact force.

The huge red dragon fish was forked out by Lu Ran and Mr. Ha. Lu Ran glanced at it and shook his head.

What a weak one. The high-quality fish meat has reached the end. Next one, next one.

Click.

Boss Ha controlled the Ice Sky Sword to shatter the ice. Before the dragon fish could react, Boss Ha swung the ice sword and chopped it into pieces.

Lu Ran collected the fish meat again, and then instructed Mr. Ha to continue forking the fish...

The sky blue wind energy wrapped around the Ice Sky Greatsword. Mr. Ha controlled the energy and wielded the Ice Sky Greatsword. Fortunately, the lake was not deep, otherwise Mr. Ha would not be able to catch any fish.

The current upper limit of the distance of its external energy control is only 50 meters. Beyond this distance, it will be a bit difficult.

Crash!

"Woof!"

After a while, Mr. Ha forked out another dragon fish, but unfortunately, it was only level 9, and the quality of the meat might not be as good as the previous one.

“…”

"What do they want to do?" At this time, the three examiners were quite silent.

Dragon fish meat is already considered to be the top-notch ingredient among high-quality resources.

Having gotten the dragon fish, Lu Ran was still not satisfied? It was just a special grade test, there was no need to pursue perfection...

But having said that, the three examiners were increasingly shocked by Mr. Ha's strength.

I don’t know how Lu Ran raised it.

The dragon fish lives so deep, and the dog controlled it by releasing energy, and even without any vision, it was able to fork it so accurately.

How did they do that? The sword has eyes.

What they didn't know was that Mr. Ha had integrated the characteristics of weapon control, and the Ice Sky Greatsword he was using at this time was like a part of his body. The sword was like his nose, his eyes, and his limbs.

Even though part of my body entered the water, I was not completely unaware of it. It was like I had eyes.

The King of Swords is nothing more than a racial talent brought about by the trait. This now is the basic ability of the weapon to control the trait.

Now, Mr. Ha is actually like a dog with nose and eyes stretching out his paws to catch fish in the lake.

Of course, the ability to control pet beasts’ weapons is an ability that was cultivated by a group of beast taming masters gathered by the Beast Taming Empire more than 2,000 years ago. Beast Tamers of this era are definitely unable to understand it.

Next up…

Lu Ran and Mr. Ha began the long task of catching fish. Since there was still a lot of time, they chose to take their time. The Dragon Fish Lake was very large, and Lu Ran didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to catch a good quality fish.

…

While Lu Ran was working hard, some examiners had already collected some common and high-quality ingredients nearby and started cooking.

Special dishes do not have particularly high requirements for ingredients. The quality can be achieved through excellent cooking skills and ordinary ingredients. They are not as demanding as rare dishes that must combine the chef's ideas and rare ingredients.

As another examiner came back and confirmed that Lu Ran had a certain ability to protect himself, the three examiners no longer paid attention to Lu Ran, but instead turned their attention to the examinees on the scene.

One examinee picked a bunch of colorful poisonous mushrooms and caught a pheasant, saying to himself, "Although they are all poisonous mushrooms, as long as the toxins are removed through pyrotechnics, their flavor can be sublimated... This Phoenix Mushroom King Soup will definitely be able to pass the examination."

Some examinees directly hunted a tusk pig and a beehive, intending to use their superb pyrotechnics to make a honey-roasted pig...

Some examiners even caught a bunch of strange and bizarre insects, intending to prepare a fried insect feast for the examiners.

I have to say that being an examiner is also a technical job.

Time passed little by little, and soon one of the examinees finished the dish first and presented it to the three examiners with confidence.

"Three examiners, please, my dish, Exploding Kidney!"

The three examiners looked at the plate. Inside the plate, the exquisite sliced ​​kidney and three-color peppers seemed to form an art painting. Combined with the rising heat, it was both colorful and fragrant.

They looked at the examiner who was accompanied by a fire bird. Among them, the female examiner said:

"The knife skills are excellent, and the heat is just right..."

The fat examiner took a bite and put it in his mouth. It was hot, spicy, and numb... Instantly, several tastes filled his mouth. But the next second, he frowned, looked at the examiner, and said, "The fishy smell of kidney... still remains."

"Oh, this... I retained some of the original flavor of the pork loin. I think retaining some of the fishy smell is the charm of the loin."

"Was it intentional or accidental?" asked the fat examiner.

"It was reserved on purpose." The examiner said confidently. The diners over there all liked the taste.

"..." The dishes of each examiner after another were evaluated by the three examiners.

Among them, most of the candidates’ cooking was recognized by the examiners, but a small part made the three examiners feel that they were just delighting themselves.

In a blink of an eye, four hours had passed. Most of the examinees had completed their hunt, leaving only a small number who had not yet found suitable ingredients.

"Hey—look at that—"

Suddenly, one of the examiners on the scene exclaimed loudly and pointed in a direction.

I saw a man and a dog slowly walking out of the forest.

Among them, the dog's tail was wrapped with a long sword, and the tip of the sword was inserted into a huge ice sculpture. It dragged the ice sculpture, step by step, and inside the ice sculpture was a half-meter-long, unconscious black fish.

Seeing the familiar figures and the food they were dragging, many examiners were surprised.

"It's the King of Sudden Death... The ingredient they brought back... Could it be a mutant dragon fish?"

[Name]: Mutated Dragon Fish [Attribute]: Water

[Race Level]: Low-level Commander [Growth Level]: Level 15

“Mutated dragon fish?! He actually found it!!” At this time, not only the examinees, but even the three examiners suddenly stood up and looked at the ingredients that Lu Ran brought back!

The mutated dragon fish is considered to be a further step forward of the dragon fish. Going further, it will become a dragon fish.

Compared with ordinary dragon fish, the meat of mutant dragon fish is undoubtedly more delicious and can be regarded as the best among rare ingredients.

There actually is a mutated dragon fish in the Dragon Fish Lake... No, that's not the main point. The main point is that the strength level of this dragon fish is very powerful at first glance.

How did Lu Ran and the others hunt it?

It seems that I still underestimated their strength! "Huh. Huh." At this time, Mr. Ha was as tired as a dead dog, but Lu Ran next to him was happy and felt the joy of the fisherman.

He himself was also very surprised by the mutated dragon fish.

God is helping him.

"It's really a mutant dragon fish!!"

"Wait, is King Sudden Death planning to use the mutant dragon fish as food?!"

"What a waste! What a waste!!" Many examiners were anxious. The mutated dragon fish could be further transformed into a Jiao dragon. Although the Jiao dragon was not a real dragon, it contained a lot of dragon blood. It was definitely a high-level commanding race. If cultivated properly, there was a chance that it would eventually evolve into a king race.

I don't know how many people are rushing to make contracts with such extraordinary creatures, wanting to cultivate them as their main pets, but looking at Lu Ran's appearance, it seems that he is planning to use it... to cook? How can he be so wasteful!

Even the chefs began to express their confusion about this behavior. It was just a special chef assessment. With Lu Ran's cooking skills, he could easily pass it. There was no need to use a mutant dragon fish to cook! And then, Lu Ran proved with practical actions that he had this idea.

If he could bring the fish out of the secret realm alive, Lu Ran would definitely not do this, but since living things cannot be brought out of the secret realm, Lu Ran can only cook it into a dish and bring it out...

After returning, Lu Ran put the arowana directly on the chopping board regardless of the heartbreak of others. At this time, the three examiners also wanted to say something, but hesitated and finally followed Lu Ran.

Unlike other examinees, they will be able to try the mutant dragon fish meat later. Thinking of this, Lu Ran decided to do whatever he wanted.

“Let’s get started.” Lu Ran first put his hands together and prayed devoutly, thanking nature for the gift. He was lucky to have encountered a high-level dragon fish. Otherwise, he would probably only be able to use ordinary dragon fish to make sashimi, and the effect would certainly be much worse. He hoped that after completing the breakthrough mission, the reward would be good, so that these four hours of hard work would not be in vain!

Wow! Despite all the attention, Lu Ran didn’t get nervous. He first poured a large bucket of water provided for examinees next to the stove into the sky.

"Woof!" Mr. Ha had no choice but to continue working. He held the Ice Sky Sword in his mouth, shook his head, and several wind blades and sword qi flew into the air.

With the help of the blizzard sword intent and the Ice Sky Great Sword's own attributes, a mass of clear water in the sky instantly turned into a huge block of ice, and the strong wind continued to shave the ice. Soon, an ice crystal plate made entirely of extreme ice was formed with ice chips all over the sky, and was held in the air by the invisible wind! Lu Ran, wearing chef gloves, took the ice crystal plate and waited for Mr. Ha's further actions.

Although Lu Ran didn't want to admit it, at this stage, Mr. Ha's use of the blizzard sword intent was more perfect. In order to make the food of higher quality, Lu Ran chose to let Mr. Ha cut the sashimi.

"Woof!" Mr. Ha bared his teeth.

After polishing the ice crystal plate, it jumped up and swung out several tiny sword energies again.

Swish! Swish! Swish! The wind blade came into contact with the huge dragon fish, and soon, slices of sashimi as thin as cicada wings flew out and fell one by one into the ice crystal plate.

Soon, nine pieces of sashimi were placed in a circle around the plate. When the two were completely in contact, an amazing phenomenon appeared on the plate. White cold air suddenly rose from the ice jade plate, as if it had turned into a small blizzard, continuously spreading cold air around and perfectly wrapping the fish meat! "Done, special dish, the roar of the ice dragon!"

The process of making the dish was not difficult, and Lu Ran and Mr. Ha finished it quickly. Lu Ran named the dish with a smile, and then immediately looked at the three examiners.

Little did they know that at this moment both the candidates and the examiners were extremely stunned.

Because this dish was prepared entirely by Mr. Ha.

Even the plates for serving were polished from it on the spur of the moment.

Looking at the entire special assessment world, the cooking process is quite explosive.

Lu Ran didn't care about the eyes of outsiders and directly brought the sashimi to the examiner, and took out three earth mother fruits picked on the way.

The black lemon is like a black lemon. The juice squeezed from it tastes similar to soy sauce, but more delicious and contains a strong natural flavor, which is perfect for pairing with sashimi.

Lu Ran squeezed the juice of the Earth Mother Fruit into three small bowls, handed them to the three examiners, and said, "Please taste!"

At this moment, the three examiners felt the icy wind coming from the ice crystal plate, swallowed their saliva together, and without saying a word, quickly picked up the chopsticks, picked up the fish fillet, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in their mouths...

The first feeling was ice! I don’t know if it was an illusion or something else, but at that moment, they seemed to hear the whistling of the north wind, a gust of cold wind swept through their mouths, and the cold touch rushed straight to their brains, instantly increasing the sensitivity of their taste buds to the extreme! ! Then, under this extreme perception of taste buds, the deliciousness of the dragon fish slices was instantly and perfectly transmitted to every part of their mouths.

The second feeling was fresh! During the whole process, the three examiners seemed to have transformed themselves into giant ice dragons flying in the snowstorm!

Afterwards, the taste changed again amazingly, as if they had crossed time, slowly stepped into the vibrant spring, and ascended to heaven in one step.

The combination of cooking ideas, ingredients and dipping sauces brings them a third brand new feeling! It is the joy of the spirit and the spring of taste buds.

"tasty!!!"

The female examiner could not help but moan. Needless to say, the nutritional value of dragon fish meat was great. Blizzard's cooking had brought out its flavor to the extreme and preserved its nutritional value perfectly. After eating the fish fillets, the three examiners could feel the tiredness from running around in the past few days disappear in an instant.

Swish! Swish!!

After being intoxicated, the three examiners rushed to grab the remaining slices like crazy, and no one gave way to anyone else. Soon, the fish slices that Mr. Ha cut, which were much thinner than the beef cut by the ramen chef, were swept away.

"Gone? Gone?"

After finishing a few pieces, the three examiners seemed to be still unsatisfied. This situation had never happened before. For other examiners' food, each examiner only tasted a bite and then made a judgment. But when it came to Lu Ran's food, it seemed that he was not satisfied yet.

At this time, Bai Ling from the Four Saints Gang also returned in a disheveled state.

She was riding on a white tiger, holding a huge egg, which seemed to be some rare ingredient.

"I stole an egg from a dead crocodile. Now I have a sure thing." Bai Ling was excited. This was a rare ingredient. She planned to use boiled eggs, a dish that could not be simpler, to gain the approval of the three examiners.

However, as soon as she came back, she saw a scene that made her extremely silent.

The fat examiner said to Lu Ran in front of him, "Cut a few more slices. It's only that little. It's not enough to fill the gaps between my teeth. I feel like ants are crawling on my body. I feel uncomfortable all over and can hardly breathe. Give me a few more slices!"

Although the white-haired old man and the female examiner were rather reserved, they looked at Lu Ran very seriously, as if they were saying that Lu Ran was too stingy!

Such a big fish, only cut into 9 slices? ? To feed beggars? !

Bao Baidanling: ??? What's going on! What did Lu Ran give the examiners to eat? Why do they all look like they were drugged! It must be said that the ultimate cuisine created by the mutant dragon fish and the blizzard sword intent is already the strongest among the peerless dishes.

Even the three veteran top chefs were completely defeated at this moment!

"Okay, okay, that's enough..." Lu Ran looked at Mr. Ha, then cut a little more, and later I have to ask the three examiners to introduce me to the holy land of cultivation, so I can't be stingy!

At this moment, the huge special examination site seemed to have become Lu Ran’s main stage. Even the three examiners were defeated by this "roar of the ice and snow dragon".

"tasty!"

"It is simply the most delicious dish in the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a nearly peerless dish."

"Passed! Passed with full marks without a doubt!"

The examiners were not stingy with their praise.

at the same time.

Lu Ran's expression changed.

Because a familiar voice came directly to my ear.

Lu Ran: “!!!”

Depend on.

After the system broadcast the information, Lu Ran stood there in a daze.

"No." Lu Ran said quickly in his heart.

Finally a breakthrough! And it's a perfect breakthrough with an SSS score!

The reward for breaking through the secret realm 3S score... is too good.

Crystal coins and the like, that’s fine.

A novice who broke through the secret realm was actually rewarded with a world-class item!

Of course, what surprised Lu Ran the most was not the kitchen utensils.

But this beast control skill...

According to historical records, in the 139th year of the Beast Taming Calendar, the second-generation emperor Yan Sizhen, in order to better study the arts of cooking and forging, developed a beast taming skill, Yan Ling. This was Yan Sizhen's signature beast taming skill!
