"You actually came out?" Chen Yongan stood in front of Tifa who was carrying the stew. "I thought you would be trapped for a little longer."

Manipulating elemental forces requires mental and physical strength. Even though Mona's affinity for elements has increased significantly since she came here, if she continues to use the "Star Destiny" technique to imprison so many chefs, she will eventually run out of strength.

“Hand over the food you have if you’re smart,” said another chef wearing sunglasses who also looked more like a pirate than a cook. “Stand on the same starting line with us and collect the ingredients again so we can spare you. Otherwise, just wait to be beaten black and blue and thrown into the sea!”

Chen Yongan looked at the two vicious people, and then looked at Red-foot Zhepu who was standing behind them, with his arms folded and an equally angry face. It seemed that the team from the sea restaurant just now was also unlucky and was trapped by Mona until now.

But he was not timid at all, and even hooked his finger, provocatively saying: "Come over if you have the guts, but if I were you, I would choose to obediently collect ingredients instead of fighting with me... If your legs are broken, I'm afraid you won't be able to complete the competition. Um... I didn't notice your legs, old man, sorry."

"It's okay," Zhepu stood up with a sullen look on his face. He chose the more important game, "Let's go search for ingredients and stop the unnecessary fighting."

“Uh…” The duo of hooligans were not convinced, but since the boss had said so, they decided not to start an argument anymore. They just walked aside and went to look for food.

The same goes for the other chefs. Although they are angry, they cannot lose their temper, for fear that they will be eliminated in the first round due to lack of time.

Judging from the little girl who had been controlling them for so long in the square and the swordsman who was eyeing them covetously, their team was not someone that was easy to bully.

It is better to avoid their attack and defeat them fairly through cooking.

And now time is really running out.

Chen Yongan and Tifa looked at each other and continued to carry the food to the square.

But after walking a few steps, he ran into the attacker again, who rushed towards him with a baseball bat.

The target is the food in Tifa's hand!

"give it to me!"

Chen Yongan rushed over, directly facing the baseball bat swung by the opponent. He ducked to avoid the bat and punched the opponent hard in the stomach, making him vomit last night's meal.

Without the slightest pause, he snatched the bat from the first attacker and threw it at the second attacker, then without even considering the outcome, he charged at the third attacker, pressing his face against the cobblestone road.

In just a moment, the three attackers were all dealt with neatly by Chen Yongan.

No, why are there only three?

"Tifa, be careful!"

"I know!" Tifa's eyes narrowed, and she spun around, kicking the fourth man who was about to attack from behind with a beautiful high kick, directly hitting his face crooked.

Ever since she was knocked unconscious in the alley yesterday, Tifa has been on high alert for possible attacks to avoid the same mistake happening again.

After dealing with this group of attackers, the rest of the journey was uneventful. After meeting with 2B and Mona who were waiting in the square, Tifa brought the stew to the judges' table.

There were five judges, in addition to the mayor of Antia who ate a lot, there was an old man who looked like he was a good eater, a kind old lady, and a young couple.

"Hello, judges," Tifa placed the stew on the judges' table and picked up the empty bowls to fill half of them.

"I made beef cream stew, which is soft, rich and fragrant. I invite the judges to taste it."

"This stew looks really good," the mayor picked up the bowl and finished it in one gulp. "Not bad, not bad. Fill it up for me."

"Hmm," Tifa happily added another bowl to the mayor.

The other judges took small sips and savored the taste slowly.

"Not bad," the old man who knew how to eat nodded, "The beef is well-cooked and tender, the soup is just the right thickness, and with the spicy pepper, this is a very stomach-warming dish. It's perfect for sailors who spend a long time sailing on the sea and whose food is mainly seafood.

But since this is a stew with a strong flavor, but it is not paired with bread or rice, I have to deduct points for this, and I can only give it 8.5 points. "

"This is a standalone dish, not a rice bowl, so there's no reason to pair it with a staple food," the kind old lady said. "I give this stew a 10. It's the best stew I've ever had."

The remaining couple gave it a score of nine, also for the reason that it was not paired with the corresponding staple food.

As for the mayor, who finished the rest of the stew, he also received a full score of 10.

All in all, Chen Yongan's team achieved a high score of 46.5 in the first round of eliminations.

It's a very good result.

Several people waited in the square for a long time, watching the other teams bring their dishes to the judging table for the judges to taste and score.

The scores varied, but Chen Yongan's team always remained in the top ten.

As the one and a half hour competition came to an end, the team that failed to serve the food in time was eliminated first, and then the teams ranked outside the top 20 were eliminated. The remaining teams advanced to the second round of competition in the afternoon.

......

"Cheers!" Chen Yongan raised his glass, "Celebrating our entry into the second round!"

"Cheers!" X3

Several people clinked their glasses together to celebrate the victory in the morning's game.

After taking a few sips of juice, Mona couldn't help but say, "Although today's competition relied on delaying time so that most teams couldn't finish their dishes on time, what about the afternoon? Even if the rules are the same as in the morning, they can't be used a second time, right?"

"Why are you so worried?" Chen Yongan picked up a large piece of perfectly cooked beef ribs for Mona. "Let's talk about this afternoon. I believe things will work out in the afternoon."

“Really optimistic.”

"Otherwise?" Chen Yongan also picked up a piece of beef ribs for Tifa. "Thank you for your hard work this morning. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to make such a delicious stew. It's just in time."

"It's okay," Tifa smiled implicitly, "We are partners on the same boat, this is what we should do."

"Well," Chen Yongan also served 2B a delicious piece of beef ribs and filled her glass with wine. "Keep working hard this afternoon. Let's win the championship together."

"Come on," Tifa clenched her fists, "We will definitely win."

Chapter 55 Part : Arena Competition

It was afternoon when everyone arrived at the square in the middle of the town and found that there were many wooden stakes of different lengths in the square, and in the middle of the wooden stakes was a square platform about twenty meters high.

This reminded Chen Yongan of the movie Huo Yuanjia he had seen before, where Huo Yuanjia competed for the first place in Tianjin.

"Will the competition be held up there?" Tifa also thought of competing. After all, the host said in the morning that this was a cooking competition and there would definitely be a competition.

"It's possible," Chen Yongan agreed, "but given the size of this arena, it can't accommodate all the teams. Each team should send one person up."

"Then I'll go up," 2B volunteered. "I haven't had a good activity in a while."

"Okay, you go up if we really have to fight."

A few people waited for a while, and at one o'clock, the bell rang and the host appeared on the stage.

"Welcome everyone to the second round of the Food Competition, the top 20 to top 5!

I think all the contestants have noticed the platform in the middle of the square, right? I think you can guess the purpose of the platform, right?

That’s right, this is the afternoon program – Food Competition!

Each team sends one player to participate in the challenge and compete for the colored ball in the middle of the ring. The winner is the one who holds the ball in his hand for ten minutes and gets the right to set cooking questions for the second game!

That’s right, winning or losing in the competition is not important, but the right to set questions will give the winning team a slight advantage. Winning the cooking competition is the most important thing!

The rules are the same as last time. It is forbidden to kill or injure the chef's hands. Violators will be disqualified from the competition.

Note: The player who competes for the colored balls can only be the same player who prepares the dishes in this game. At the same time, in order to avoid the game being less enjoyable to watch, people with special abilities are prohibited from participating in this game!

Please discuss strategies for each group of players. The competition will officially begin in five minutes!"

"The person who participates in the ball competition and the person who makes the dish can only be the same person. So it seems that you, 2B, can't participate."

"What a shame," 2B said regretfully, "Then Tifa will have to do it."

"Well," Tifa looked up at the podium, "The right to set questions for the cooking competition is our biggest advantage. I must get it!"

Seeing Tifa so full of fighting spirit, Chen Yongan asked, "Have you prepared any special dishes?"

"I got it," Tifa looked around, "but I'll keep it a secret for now. I'll tell you after I win."

"I think it shouldn't be difficult to win the colored ball competition," Mona said. "Even if we don't have the right to set questions, we just need to win the cooking competition. Among the 20 teams, the team that wins the colored balls has the advantage in setting questions, and the other 19 teams are all on the same starting line."

"That's right," Chen Yongan agreed, "I think most teams will send their best culinary players to compete, but they will not participate in the competition for the colored balls but will save their energy for the more important cooking competition."

"No matter what others do, I must win the battle for the colored balls," Tifa said, "This is our biggest advantage."

"Okay, five minutes are up," the host said, "Please ask the players of each team participating in the second game to stand behind the yellow line... Ready, go!"

Following the order, six contestants including Tifa rushed out, while the remaining dozen contestants remained motionless in order to conserve their energy for the cooking competition.

The colorful ball is on a high platform, and the other way to get to the platform is to climb up the pillar directly or step on wooden stakes of varying lengths.

There is more than one road, but some people started to attack on the road and had no time to wait until they reached the platform.

Without hiding his hostility at all, he simply raised his hand and several shiny knives flew towards him.

Tifa, who was running on the wooden stake, rolled over to avoid the flying knife and looked at the chef who attacked her.

An old man with light eyebrows and deep eye sockets, not ugly, even elegant in manners, but emitting an indescribable chill.

"As expected of a martial artist, this leg is amazing, so firm and even, perfect for aging butter."

Although it was a hot day, Tifa felt a coolness from head to toe.

This guy is a disgusting pervert.

The only way to deal with a pervert is to kick him away!

Tifa gave up running towards the platform and rushed towards the opponent instead.

It’s not too late to snatch the colored balls after teaching him a lesson!

“Tsk, tsk, tsk… You don’t know what’s good for you. In that case, let me teach you how to behave!”

After saying that, he rushed towards Tifa with a dinner knife in hand. Before he got close, the sharp knife in his hand slashed out, making a fierce cut.

"Unbutton the flesh--digging the knees!"

The knife was heading straight for the knee. Tifa didn't dare to be careless. She dodged the knife with a somersault and at the same time, she turned her body and kicked it like a drill.

The opponent didn't dare to take it head-on. He dodged in the air and at the same time slashed at the spinning Tifa with several sword energies.

However, all the sword energy was blocked by the airflow rotating around Tifa, and could not cause any damage.

At this time, Tifa had landed on the wooden stake, looked up at the enemy rising into the air, and had a plan in mind.

My favorite is the kind of enemy that flies into the air without any foothold!

With a backward flip, a green cyclone surrounded his body. The sudden suction disrupted the enemy's balance. Taking this opportunity, he carried the cyclone and hit the opponent's face hard with a rising dragon from bottom to top!

"Whirlwind dive!"

It's not over yet.

While still in the air, he spun around and gave him another sharp kick in the abdomen!

It was like a big bird swooping down towards the hard ground of the square!

"boom!"

This kick directly embedded the opponent into the marble slab of the square, and he lost consciousness.

Tifa took a look and confirmed that there would be no more sneak attacks on her, then ran towards the platform again.

When we arrived at the platform, we saw three people fighting with each other.

It should be said that it is one against two.

They had met each other several times. A one-legged uncle with a beard and pigtails was fighting against the other two.

One was armed with two boning knives, and the other was using a trap that looked like a masher.

Under the siege of the two people, the uncle who was holding on to the colorful ball seemed a little overwhelmed.

They were not ordinary people. Every time they attacked, there was a sound of breaking wind, and their kicks on the ring caused wood chips to fly everywhere.

Tifa didn't rush forward, but watched the show from the side.

Although the one-legged uncle's leg skills were very powerful, he was old and not flexible enough. After a hard fight, he was hit on the arm by the chef holding the pestle. His hand loosened in pain, and the colorful ball fell to the ground and he was kicked off the stage.

There are three people left on the ring, and a colored ball between them.

In the current situation, whoever gets the colored ball first will become the target of the other two, and no one dares to act rashly.

But a stalemate is not a solution, Tifa is ready to end the battle quickly.

He took up his stance and shouted, "The Zanganliu spirit is united!"

At this moment, Tifa's fighting spirit was released, and her momentum soared visibly!

Not only was there light yellow fighting spirit surrounding the pair of boxing gloves, but there were also light yellow lightning flashing constantly all over the body that was visible to the naked eye!

The two looked at each other tacitly, and simultaneously raised their weapons and rushed towards Tifa!

But they no longer had the chance.
