Dragon Ball, simultaneously traversing countless worlds

"Those six have become stronger again," the three musketeers, who had escaped the wrath in the wetlands, whispered to themselves.

"Damn it, Hisoka failed to kill them and was instead controlled by them. If we hadn't escaped back then, we might have been able to thwart their plans and prevent them from controlling Hisoka, such a powerful fighter."

"Sigh, what's the use of saying all this now? The enemy and we are vastly different in strength. If we can't come up with a way to break this deadlock, the three of us will all die."

"Do you think we can use the examiner's or Netero's power to kill those people on the other side?"

"Unlikely. The hunters aren't brain-dead; they won't be manipulated by us."

"The examiner for the second exam, Men Qi, seems to be an impulsive person. Perhaps we can use her to instigate a conflict between the examiner and those people."

"Hmm, when Menqi gets carried away with her obsession with food, she forgets her role as an examiner. Maybe we can really use her to deal with those six people..."

The three musketeers hid at the edge of the crowd, plotting in the shadows.

Unfortunately, none of their plans escaped Luo Yan's keen eyes and ears.

"Trying to use the examiners against us? Naive. We'll kill you all in a minute."

Luo Yan secretly plotted and schemed in his mind.

The second exam began, the door of the house opened, and a giant man and a woman wearing fishnet stockings walked out.

"I am Menchi, the examiner for the second exam. Next to me is examiner Buhara. The theme of this exam is cooking. You can only take my exam after you pass Buhara's test."

Without a single wasted word, Menqi's introduction was brief and clear.

The giant Buhara patted his rumbling belly and said, "Finally, we can eat! My test is very simple: roast a whole pig. Any kind of pig will do. Pigs are all in the forest, so go catch one yourself!"

Upon hearing this, a group of test takers roared and rushed into the forest.

Luo Yan watched as the three musketeers entered the forest, then whispered a few words in Zheng Zha's ear, and the two of them walked together in the direction of the three musketeers.

……

In the Biscayne Forest, there is only one kind of pig, the Magpie-nosed Boar, an animal with a size comparable to a buffalo and a ferocious personality.

Catching a pig was no challenge for Luo Yan and his group; soon all six of them had caught the monstrous boar and returned.

When Zheng Zha returned, he had some bloodstains on his body.

"Have you taken care of those three people?" Weston asked casually.

"It's resolved." Zheng Zha nodded.

He and Luo Yan entered the forest together. In a two-on-three battle, Luo Yan easily defeated two opponents. Finally, he fought one-on-one against the guy who used water breathing. He was slashed several times by the guy before he finally managed to kill the enemy.

Although Zheng Zha was slightly injured, he was overjoyed to find a Water Breathing skill scroll in the treasure chest after killing the guy.

This skill is pretty good. Even if Zheng Zha doesn't learn it himself, he can sell it for eight or nine hundred points by trading it in his space.

Weston nodded, and the others also turned their attention away and began to focus on roasting the whole pig.

All the whole roasted pigs made by the candidates were eaten by Buhara, who was of an unusual size and had an inhuman appetite. He ate more than seventy pigs in one go.

In the end, all those who made a whole roasted pig passed the test, while those who failed to catch a pig were immediately eliminated.

Next up was Menqi's assessment.

Luo Yan originally thought that Men Qi's test would be just a formality, like in the original story, and that he could easily pass it by simply eating boiled eggs.

Unexpectedly, Feng Wujue in the team suddenly went berserk.

Menchi's test question was to make sushi by hand. Among the six-person team, only Feng Wujue actually cooked it. The others remained unmoved, waiting for Chairman Netero to descend from the sky and change Menchi's test question.

It was precisely because Feng Wujue cooked that a series of conflicts ensued.

Feng Wujue, with great interest, pinched a ball of sushi with his hand and handed it to Men Qi to taste, only to be humiliated by Men Qi.

"It's rare to find someone who knows what sushi is, but the taste is terrible! The texture of the fish is wrong, the fish is too cold, and the shape of the rice ball is awful. At least shape it into a fan or trapezoid! Unacceptable, redo it!"

Faced with Men Qi's critical comments, Feng Wujue's face immediately turned gloomy.

"Sushi is something that tastes good no matter who makes it! This is the first time in my life I've ever tried making it!"

"Can't you taste the passion I put into my cooking? You bastard, what kind of gourmet hunter are you!" Feng Wujue retorted directly to Men Qi without any hesitation.

"What did you say? Simple? The taste won't be too different? Don't be ridiculous. You're an amateur. What do you know? It takes ten years just to learn how to make sushi! How dare you look down on hand-rolled sushi?"

Men Qi flew into a rage, jumped up, and began to hurl insults at Feng Wujue.

"The technique of making sushi, that fancy left-hand-to-right-hand-to-left hand movement, is worth learning for ten years," Feng Wujue said dismissively.

"Sushi is nothing more than putting various dishes on rice. Even if it tastes good, it's because the ingredients are good. What does it have to do with the technique of making sushi or the plating? I think you're just a pretentious show-off who thinks you're very classy."

"Moreover, other people's hands are directly touching the food, and the sweat from their palms seeps into the rice and fish, which makes me feel disgusted. How can you still eat it?"

“You…” Men Qi’s face turned ashen, and he felt a little nauseous.

Gu Long/span Feng Wujue interrupted Men Qi and continued talking non-stop.

"True gourmet food is clean, hygienic, healthy, and nutritious, not something that is enhanced by style or judged by its deliciousness based on expensive prices."

"Those delicacies that put gold leaf in cakes, play music for cows to inflate beef prices, or use 100-year-old vinegar as a gimmick have long lost the true meaning of food."

"As a gourmet hunter, you actually pursue these superficial and useless things. You are not worthy of being a gourmet hunter at all."

"A true gourmet hunter should cherish and protect ingredients, and learn to share food with others. True gourmet food is not something elaborately crafted that can't even fill your stomach; true gourmet food is always filled with the warmth and comfort of everyday life..."

Feng Wujue launched into a long lecture, which made Men Qi's face turn red and filled with murderous intent.

The hunters each had their own obsessions and wills, and even if Feng Wujue's words made some sense, Men Qi wouldn't listen.

The other candidates, who had long been dissatisfied with Men Qi's harassment, stood up to support Feng Wujue.

“He’s right. Not only is your approach to food problematic, but even your test questions are flawed.”

“My goal isn’t to be a chef or a gourmet; I want to be a bounty hunter. How can I be eliminated by you just because I can’t cook?”

Faced with the questions from the candidates, Menqi couldn't hold back any longer and pulled out two Western-style kitchen knives from behind her back.

Just as she was about to make her move, the giant Buhara behind her struck first, slapping the candidate who wanted to become a bounty hunter flying.

Buhara was at least three or four meters tall and weighed as much as a rhinoceros. His palms were as big as palm fans, and with a casual strike, he could send the examinee flying more than ten meters away.

Menqi said coldly, "Buhara, you shouldn't meddle in other people's business."

Buhara smiled bitterly: "But if I don't take action, you'll kill them, won't you? Menqi, calm down, don't forget your identity as an examiner."

Menqi took a deep breath and said, "These trash dare to question the culinary philosophy of a one-star gourmet hunter like me. I can't stand it."

"You reminded me that as the examiner I shouldn't intervene, fine, I hereby announce... all of you have failed the exam!"

"The exam is over, you can all stop rolling now. I'm no longer the examiner. If you don't stop rolling, I'm going to take action."

Menqi said loudly in a fit of pique, and all the candidates' expressions changed.

"What? How dare you declare us failing? I haven't even finished cooking yet!"

"Yeah, it's all because that guy was so rude. If he were the only one who failed, he would be the one who failed!"

Menqi shouted, "Just because I'm not in the mood to eat right now, none of you are qualified."

"Don't underestimate us Gourmet Hunters! You're all talk and no action. You can't even withstand a casual strike from one of us. What do you think you're, bounty hunters? Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson."

"Heh, you just learned to use Nen earlier than this guy on the ground, what's there to be so smug about?" Feng Wujue mocked again in a calm tone.

Men Qi had been repeatedly rendered speechless by Feng Wujue's rebuttals, but this time she finally had the chance to fight back.

"The fact is I'm stronger than him. If you're not convinced, defeat me. If you defeat me, you'll pass the test directly and become a hunter."

Feng Wujue smiled. He had been scheming against Men Qi step by step, using words to provoke her, all for this one sentence she was waiting for.

"Can your words represent the Hunter's Guild? Defeating you will allow me to become a full-fledged hunter."

Menqi sneered: "I keep my word. Defeating me makes you a formal hunter."

As soon as she finished speaking, many of the candidates began to rub their hands together, their intentions turning hostile.

"Haha, what kind of weird food is this? I like this kind of straightforward exam. Count me in for a battle too."

"Pah, I've disliked this woman for a long time, and I want to join the fight too."

Even Leorio from the main cast rolled up his shirt sleeves and exclaimed excitedly, "Fighting is more exciting and easier to understand than cooking. I want to join in too!"

Killua and Gon exchanged a glance: "We've been waiting for a test like this too, let's go!"

Among the crowd, Luo Yan and the others finally understood Feng Wujue's intentions. He was deliberately targeting Men Qi's personality flaws, gradually creating the current situation in an attempt to simplify the exam!

There are two more stages and a solo battle after the Hunter Exam. It would be too time-consuming to proceed step by step.

If you were to become a hunter through opportunistic means with Menchi, you could save a lot of time.

Luo Yan gazed into the distance, looking at an airship on the horizon, and said, "Time is running out. Before Chairman Netero arrives to stop Menchi's impulsive actions, we'd better defeat him first."

Weston nodded and ordered Hisoka, "Hisoka, eliminate everyone except those in our team. Kill anyone you don't like."

Hisoka's expression finally changed, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He had been holding back his anger since being controlled, and now that Weston was letting him go on a killing spree, he had the chance to vent his rage.

Feng Wujue forced Men Qi to set a trap, making her challenge everyone.

Weston was even more ruthless, clearing out the entire area and killing all the remaining examinees. He wanted to ensure that even if Netero came, he wouldn't be able to start the next exam, and that Netero would have to hold his nose and let them pass.

As for the concern that Netero might turn against her and forcibly disapprove of Menchi's actions, thus denying the Hunter qualification he gained by defeating her.

Analyze Netero's character based on his actions in the original work.

The wise men present did not believe that Netero would care about these things.

To make the work more challenging and to liven up the association's atmosphere, Netero directly appointed a vice president who was at odds with him.

In his youth, he constantly challenged various martial arts schools. He was a natural rule-breaker, and even if he became the rule-maker, he wouldn't care about those things.

The only thing he cared about was martial arts, and martial arts is violence, which is inherently used to defy rules.

Chapter 140 Clash with the Examiners (Part 2)

Because Hisoka failed to defeat Luo Yan and the others in the wetlands, the number of participants in the second exam exceeded one hundred.

In the whole roasted pig test in Buhara, dozens of people were eliminated because they failed, so only seventy-eight people remained when it came to making sushi.

Seventy-eight candidates versus two examiners.

In fact, there is now a third examiner hiding on one side.

After completing his task of leading the way, Saci did not leave Biscayne Forest Park. Because he was worried about Menchi's temper, he secretly hid in a nearby tree to observe the test.
