Shokugeki no Sora: Obtain Lan Feihong's inheritance at the beginning!

Hearing Isse Hui's sincere tone, Lin Han's tone softened.

"Since Senior Eizan has taken the initiative to challenge me to a food battle, there is no need for me to refuse, right?"

Isshiki Hui nodded and motioned Lin Han to sit down first, as he had something else to say to him.

"Then what are your chances of defeating Ruishan?"

"Not much, maybe 100%."

Lin Han sat down and said casually.

"Ten percent?!"

Soma Yukihira and Yuki Yoshino blurted out in surprise, and even Megumi Tadokoro and others covered their mouths in surprise.

However, Lin Han's calm look showed that he was not arrogant, which was why he dared to say such confidence.

Even Isshiki Kei nodded.

"In terms of strength, you are not inferior to Eizan Ezuya and Kuga Teruki, but since Eizan dares to challenge you in a food battle, there is no guarantee that he will not have other intentions."

"As early as the first year, Eizan was famous in Totsuki Academy for being able to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals."

"Iseki-senpai, what do you mean..."

The thoughtful Tansho Kei was the first to understand the meaning of Isshiki Kei's words, and the others also reacted.

If, even though he thought he did not have much chance of defeating Lin Han, Eizun Eizaki still chose to compete in a food battle with Lin Han.

There's no guarantee that he won't use dirty tricks!

"Once, Ruishan wanted to cooperate with a restaurant, but was rejected."

"And just half a month later, the restaurant lost a large number of customers because of problems with the ingredients."

"The store manager almost went bankrupt, and finally had no choice but to sell the store to Ruishan to take over."

Although Isshiki Hui did not mention what role Eishan Ezuya played in the bankruptcy of the restaurant.

But when he brought this matter up at this moment, he was naturally confident enough to believe that this matter was inseparable from Eishan Ezu.

"How abominable!"

Soma Yukihira clenched his fists.

Isse Hui looked at Lin Han seriously.

"The reason why Eishan Ezuya proposed the Shokugeki competition to you at this time is, on the one hand, he must want you to focus on the Shokugeki competition and not have time to run the Chinese restaurant in the future."

"Also, once I succeed in forcing you to drop out of Totsuki Academy, your Chinese restaurant will never be better than Mozuya in Eizan without you."

Lin Han nodded, indicating that he agreed with Isise Hui's statement.

"Also, you have to be careful during these three days. Eizan might do something behind the scenes to win this food battle."

"I understand, rest assured, Isshiki-senpai."

Lin Han smiled, his eyes revealing strong confidence and determination.

No matter what kind of conspiracy and means Eishan Ezu used.

He will definitely secure his place among the top ten!

Seeing that Lin Han had made up his mind, Isise Hui nodded and said nothing more.

"By the way, Isshiki-senpai, how do you think Eizan-senpai's cooking skills compare to yours?"

Before leaving, Lin Han asked Isise Hui one last question.

Isshiki Hui, who was originally smiling, suddenly faded a lot after hearing Lin Han's words.

He opened his eyes, which were as blue and deep as the sea, and looked at Lin Han seriously.

"Eizun Ezuya is known as the 'Alchemist' because of his superb cooking skills."

"As for his true strength, I can only tell you if he doesn't spend too much time on running the restaurant."

"His position among the top ten should be much more than this."

Yoshino Yuki and others who originally had confidence in Lin Han became depressed again after hearing Isshiki Hui's words.

But Lin Han seemed not to be affected at all and returned to his dormitory.

After washing up, Lin Han sat on the bed.

After the restaurant business closed today, Lin Han arranged the matters for the next few days with Teruki Kuga and handed over full responsibility to Teruki Kuga.

He was concentrating on preparing for the food battle against Eiyama Edatsuya.

Isshiki Hui was right. Even if Lin Han’s strength was not inferior to Ruishan Zhizuye’s, it was impossible for masters to be absolutely infallible when fighting each other.

Therefore, Lin Han also needs to start preparing his own competition dishes.

"There are countless varieties of dishes that can be fried, and Eizan is a master at deep-frying dishes."

“Lan Feihong’s cuisine is delicate yet elegant, while Xie Lu is good at making noodles.”

"Noodles..."

Lin Han's mind moved, and he opened his strongest food god system and scrolled directly to the bottom.

His eyes were fixed on Jie Lu's card.

[48] ​​Unlocked again! Steel Stick Xielu's level has been upgraded! (1 update, please bookmark!)

【Card Character: Jie Lu】

[Card Level: S-level]

[Proficiency level: Intermediate]

Similarly, below the Jie Lu card, there is a line of words: You can use popularity points to upgrade your mastery.

Before the food carnival began, Lin Han used all his accumulated popularity points to upgrade Lan Feihong's card.

The popularity that had been squandered was unexpectedly successful due to the operation of a Chinese restaurant.

Lin Han's popularity, which had already been dwindling, actually increased a lot again.

Especially after taking the top spot in sales for three consecutive days, Lin Han gained additional popularity points.

His popularity now is enough to upgrade another Jie Lu card with an intermediate proficiency level.

Lin Han decisively clicked the upgrade button.

[Ding——Upgrading the host's mastery of unlocking Luka cards, current progress: 15%. ]

[After the upgrade is successful, the host's proficiency in Jie Lu card will be upgraded to advanced, and 30 dishes will be unlocked. ]

Listening to the prompt sound in his head, Lin Han sat cross-legged on the bed, like a monk meditating, waiting for the card upgrade to be completed.

[Ding——Congratulations to the host, your card unlocking proficiency has been upgraded to an advanced level, and 30 additional dishes have been unlocked. ]

After the upgrade was completed, Lin Han immediately checked the unlocked dishes.

"Golden ratio siu mai, shadowless noodles, special seven-color dumplings..."

At this moment, in Lin Han's consciousness, the methods, intentions, and essence of every dish that Jie Lu had ever made seemed to be deeply imprinted in his soul.

This gives you a sense of familiarity that comes only from cooking a dish thousands of times in person.

This is something you can only experience after you upgrade to a high level of proficiency.

Lin Han even asked himself to cook right now.

He can also make dishes that are exactly the same level of perfection as those made by Jie Lu himself!

Lin Han kept looking for the dishes he needed on the menu.

Eishan Ezuya proposed deep-fried dishes as the theme of this food battle, and he must be very confident that he can win this competition.

And in Lin Han's memory, Ruishan Zhizu also did have his own unique talent for fried dishes.

At one point, the sales of Momotsugaya's dishes far exceeded those of other clubs' signature dishes, "fried chicken nuggets."

It was designed by Eiyama Edatsuya.

And Isshiki Hui's previous comments on Eishan Ezuya also made Lin Han more serious.

Although he has been constantly suppressing Eiyama Ezuya in order to make him agree to a food battle with him, he has been irritating Eiyama Ezuya by suppressing him.

But Eishan Ezu is, after all, one of the true top ten, and his cooking skills are by no means worthless.

"This is it."

When Lin Han saw a dish that suited his taste, his eyes lit up slightly.

The dish in front of him not only in form, but also in appearance and taste, all of which were exactly what Lin Han had expected.

After deciding on the dishes, Lin Han immediately entered the virtual kitchen and began to practice cooking for tonight.

On the other hand, after proposing a food battle challenge to Lin Han, Eishan Ezuya was also practicing his cooking.

In the oil pan with tiny bubbles boiling, the ingredients wrapped in a layer of snow-white batter are processed into a size that is just right for eating.

After being wrapped in high-temperature hot oil, the batter quickly turns into a golden, tender, thin and crispy crust.

A unique aroma of fried products mixed with the umami flavor of the ingredients themselves.

It spreads in front of the cooking counter.

Eishan Ezuya's eyes hidden behind the lenses were as gloomy and difficult to discern as ever.

He said nothing, but silently used the incredibly long chopsticks with skill and dexterity.

Stirring the ingredients in the pan.

The fried food is taken out and the excess oil is absorbed by oil-absorbing paper.

If there was a second person present, he would definitely exclaim.

The ingredients floating in the oil pan became docile under the chopsticks in Eiyama Ezuya's hand.

And Eishan Ezuya's movements are also calm and graceful.

Just like his title, an alchemist.

Looks magical and beautiful!

"Store manager."

The door was pushed open and someone walked in.

"I asked you to find out where Lin Hanjun was. What was the result?"

When mentioning the name that he hated and feared, Eishan Ezuya's voice was a little cold.

"Lin Hanjun just went to buy some ingredients and put them in the Chinese restaurant. Before he left, he said something to Kuga Teruki."

"Then Kuga Teruki told the others to put the ingredients in a separate place, and the food in the restaurant later did not use these ingredients."

"Those ingredients should be specially prepared by Lin Hanjun for this food battle."

Eishan Ezu also turned off the stove on the kitchen counter.

"What's there?"

"Some vegetables and seafood. There are quite a lot of varieties."

"seafood……"

Eishan Ezu also narrowed his eyes.

"Tomorrow is the day of the food battle, right? Lin Hanjun is really trying hard to win this food battle."

"His cooking skills are indeed qualified to be one of the top ten."

"However, it's still eight hundred years too early to covet my position."

A hint of coldness flashed across Eishan Ezuya's eyes.

"After the restaurant closes tonight, you will do as I say. Remember, don't let anyone find out."

"Yes."
