Chapter 1096: The Goodness of Knife Skill
"What's the point of a group of foundation-building little demons kneeling to you?" The Immortal Fairy said with disdain, thinking that the second in command had no ambitions.
"Wait, when I find the Qilin Immortal someday, I will ask him to kowtow to you. As the eldest senior brother of Xiao Ling and Lian Yi..."
"No, no, no, fairy, what I meant just now is that Song Tianjing is a poor boy, how can he compare with me?"
"Is that what you mean?"
"That's what I mean!" Lu Yang nodded hard in order to save his life.
"Well, it seems that I misunderstood."
Lu Yang took two deep breaths, put aside all distracting thoughts, ignored what was happening over at Song Tianjing, and stopped thinking about his own death. What he had to do now was to concentrate on demonstrating his swordsmanship.
He can just try out the other levels casually, but he needs to fight with all his strength in this first level.
As the saying goes, swords and knives are inseparable, and sword cultivators often use knives to great effect. He is a sword spirit root, the number one sword cultivator of the same level, and he cannot lose face at this level! The five-star spirit chef team is also in the arena. The demon beast in the spirit transformation stage breaks free from the cage and releases its pressure wantonly.
The pressure alone was enough to scare off some of the spirit chefs, making them afraid to take action and their hands holding the knives trembled.
And Lu Yang is definitely not among them!
Other five-star chefs have their own unique equipment, but Lu Yang is different. He only needs an ordinary kitchen knife.
The competition for the five-star chef group is slightly different from that for the two-star chef group, in that there is one more question requirement.
"Just now, Vice Alliance Leader Liu Xing said that knife skills should reflect 'goodness'."
While Lu Yang was still pondering what "good knife skills" meant, the other spirit chefs already had their own ideas and started to work.
"Look, there's a little sun!" The audience noticed something strange about the Five-Star Spiritual Chef Group.
"No, that's not right. That's not the little sun. It's the Golden Sword Master. His golden sword cuts too fast!"
Master Golden Sword took the lead and selected a Feiyi, a kind of snake with six legs and four wings, ranking fifth among all the divine beasts!
Master Jin Dao used the same trick again, stomping his feet on the ground, puffing his muscles, and throwing Fei Yi into the sky.
"Boning knife technique!"
The two golden knives danced quickly, like a big sun. Wherever the sun shone, clean snake bones and white snake meat would fall down.
"The best knife skills are to not let the monster feel pain. Thank you." Master Golden Knife hung two golden knives in front of his chest and said lightly. He landed first, and then the white snake meat fell into the plate like rain.
In fact, Master Golden Sword also has the ability to defeat the first four monsters, but he cannot kill them instantly. If he cannot kill them instantly, the monsters will feel pain, which cannot be considered as his good knife skills.
"Why is there such thick fog over there?"
"There is a figure in the mist, dancing so beautifully, is it a fairy dancing?" The audience became excited again.
When the fog cleared, it was discovered that the fairy was not there, but the poisonous old woman dismembering the poisoned nine-headed lion.
Yun Mengmeng looked at the audience with strange eyes. I wonder if there is anything wrong with these people's eyes? They saw the little sun and the dancing fairies.
During the competition, Du Po Po no longer had to wear handcuffs and anklets, and she felt much lighter.
She gave a sinister smile and chose the Nine-headed Lion, which was one of the top three powerful beings.
The poisonous old woman let the nine-headed lion bite her and tear off a piece of her flesh. The poisonous blood flowed out and turned into poisonous mist when it touched the air, causing the nine-headed lion to fall into a wonderful dream.
"The best skill of knife skills is to let the monster die in happiness!"
In addition to Lu Yang, there was another person who did not take any action from beginning to end, and that was Ma Bin.
"So this is what it means to be good at knife skills."
Ma Bin raised his hand and called Deputy Alliance Leader Liu Xing.
"What do you want?"
"I abstain."
Liu Xing showed a surprised expression: "You're giving up?"
"Yes, the skill of knife skills lies in not killing, and only by giving up can we avoid killing!"
"Have you really thought about it? Is this your answer?"
"Yes!" Ma Bin nodded.
"Okay then, go ahead."
"Did I pass the test?"
Liu Xing rolled his eyes and pointed at the audience seats and said, "You've already given up and you still want to pass the test? Go sit in the audience seats."
“…”
This shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't Vice Alliance Leader Liu show a meaningful smile, say that only you understand the purpose of this test, and then let yourself pass?
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
How come it’s over before my knife from the imperial kitchen becomes famous?
Ma Bin was sent to the audience seats and the game continued.
Lu Yang finally moved. He slowly stood up, holding an ordinary kitchen knife, and walked towards the beast king Kuiniu.
Kuiniu felt like it was facing a powerful enemy, and the instinctive reaction of its blood told it that this was an enemy powerful enough to kill it!
Lu Yang raised his knife and struck it again, but Kuiniu just stood there in a daze, unharmed.
"What's wrong? What happened?" The audience was extremely confused. Was this an attempt to scare Kuiniu?
Is this the level of the descendant of the Immortal Chef?
"No, look what he is holding in his hand!" Ma Bin was indeed a capable man and he quickly noticed something was wrong.
At some point, Lu Yang held a piece of extremely thin paper in his hand, which was almost transparent in the sunlight.
"Let me see." Liu Xing moved over instantly and picked up the paper, not feeling any weight at all.
He spread out the paper and found that it was in the shape of a Kuiniu! "What are you doing..."
"I split the Kui Niu in half and cut it along the cross section to get this piece of beef paper."
"And Kuiniu didn't react at all, and the wound healed."
Lu Yang tore off a small piece from the beef paper, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and the aroma of Kui beef filled his mouth.
"I think what Fellow Daoist Ma Bin said is right. The best knife skills are indeed to avoid killing. Deputy Alliance Leader Liu, would you like to try it too?"
The beef was so paper thin that it was cooked immediately when exposed to sunlight!
"No, your knife skills are superb, but the beef paper is too thin. It's not enough to make a dish. Although you have demonstrated excellent knife skills, you are not a qualified spiritual chef." Liu Xing is very strict when it comes to spiritual chefs.
"How difficult is this?" Lu Yang laughed, knocked the Kuiniu unconscious with the back of his knife, raised the knife and put it down again, and a piece of snowflake-textured meat appeared in his hand! Liu Xing's pupils shrank suddenly, revealing an impossible expression.
This time he saw it clearly. To outsiders who didn't know much about the matter, it was just one cut, but he clearly saw Lu Yang chopped eighty-one times!
After Lu Yang knocked the Kuiniu unconscious, he cut open its skin with a knife and dug out the three-flowered toe. After taking out the three-flowered toe, the Kuiniu's epidermis just healed! The Kuiniu is a demon beast in the Spiritualization Stage, and its healing ability is extremely strong. When it wakes up, the missing part has long grown back!
The Kui Niu was totally unaware of this! "Liu, the deputy leader, thought that there was not enough food, so he could find a few more Kui Niu. I would cut off some of their bodies and piece them together to make enough for a Kui Niu."
"You passed the test." Deputy Alliance Leader Liu said in a daze. This was more than just passing the test, it was simply setting a record. Since the Spiritual Chef Competition had been held for 60,000 years, this level of knife skills had never appeared in the Five-Star Spiritual Chef Group! "By the way, how many knife skills did you use just now?" Deputy Alliance Leader Liu suddenly asked before leaving.
Lu Yang clasped his fists and smiled calmly: "One hundred and eight swords, thank you."
