Food: I found Eri Nakiri in the world of Food Prisoners

As for the others, Xu Yong was actually quite curious about their expressions; he figured it would be very interesting.

As soon as Xu Yong took a sip of soup, he felt countless ingredients float past him. These were the ingredients that Grandma Jie Nai used to make the Century Soup.

Countless ingredients flashed through everyone's minds like puzzle pieces, eventually forming the pattern of the century's rich soup. The deliciousness spread from the tip of the tongue to the whole body. At the same time, everyone's body and mind relaxed under this power, and the corners of their mouths began to turn up.

The feeling was like soaking in a hot spring, making one forget all their troubles. However, just as Xu Yong's lips began to curve upwards, he suddenly snapped out of his daze. Because he had been prepared, he managed to control the upward curve of his lips.

Although he felt a little regretful to be jolted awake by that feeling, he didn't regret it as much as he had become that lewd smile.

Just as everyone's expressions were becoming increasingly absurd, Xu Yong, Erina Nakiri, Hisako Shinto, Mirajin, and Bubu's gourmet cells were simultaneously activated.

Xu Yong's muscles began to swell continuously, while the girls received another full-body beauty treatment.

However, Bubu felt a little awkward among this group of people. In their world, Erina Nakiri and the others would be top-tier beauties, and in the world of Toriko, they would be even more so.

Moreover, their food-related cells have been activated, making their appearance and figure even more perfect.

In comparison, Bubu is much less impressive. Bubu has a petite figure and a cute appearance. Activating food cells will only make her figure more perfectly proportioned, but it will not directly increase her height.

So Bubu felt a little awkward in front of Mirajane and the others.

Of course, all of that can be ignored now. Xu Yong has already closed his eyes, for a simple reason: the expressions on everyone's faces are just too awful to look at.

He initially thought that such an expression would be amusing, but now it seems he completely misunderstood. It's not amusing at all; it's downright cringe-worthy.

The girls noticed this too, so they all lay face down on the table and refused to look up.

This state lasted for several minutes before completely disappearing. After realizing that their expressions had returned to normal, the group looked up with embarrassed expressions.

"Mr. Xu Yong, why didn't your expression change before?"

Mirajane asked her question, and immediately all the girls' eyes turned to Xu Yong.

"This kid knew beforehand that he would turn out like this after drinking the Century Soup. If he had taken precautions and forced himself out of that state, he wouldn't have made that expression."

Grandma Jie said with a smile, "It's obvious that Xu Yong made preparations in advance."

"You knew in advance?!"

At this moment, Erina Nakiri and the others looked at Xu Yong with resentment. Xu Yong knew this would happen, but he didn't tell them.

"Ahem, sorry, sorry, I'll definitely remind you next time!"

Xu Yong said somewhat awkwardly that he would never say something like, "I thought it was interesting, so I didn't remind you."

Otherwise, I estimate I'll be subjected to a death stare for a while.

"By the way, let's check how much the cell level has improved!"

Xu Yong abruptly changed the subject, but this was also a question that everyone was concerned about, so they all had their cell levels tested.

Xu Yong's cell level has improved from level 51 to level 53 over this period of time, and after this cell activation, it has reached level 65.

Mirajane's original cell level was 6, but it was raised to 21 by Rainbow Fruit and other ingredients. After this cell activation, her cell level reached 39.

Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto have similar cell levels. They were previously at level 15, and after this period of growth, they reached level 26. After this cell activation, they are now at level 42.

Their cell level has gradually been brought closer to Mirajane's, and there are two reasons for this.

The first reason is similar to levels in a game. The experience gap of 10 levels in the early stages will gradually narrow in the later stages. In fact, the total experience required for the first 10 levels may not even be as much as the total experience required for the next level.

The same applies to the food cells, which is why their levels are getting closer and closer.

The second reason is that Mirajane is a combatant, while Erina Nakiri and the others are mainly focused on learning.

Although Mirajane was also learning, she always stayed by Xu Yong's side, which is why the chef's level was generally much lower than the food hunter's in the chef-food hunter partnership.

It is estimated that in a while, Mirajane's cell level will surpass that of the two people.

As for Bubu's cell level, he naturally couldn't just test it casually, since Bubu wasn't his partner.

"Your cell level has increased significantly, reaching level 65. With your current strength, you are practically unmatched in the wilderness of the human realm!"

Master Jiro began by saying that although there are strong individuals among humans, these individuals generally do not hunt for ingredients from the human world, because only a very small number of human world ingredients can enhance their strength.

Therefore, people who have reached a cell level of over 100 will generally try to enter the culinary world.

Xu Yong's cell level is only 65, but his combat power is extremely strong. In Master Jiro's opinion, Xu Yong's combat power is enough to deal with all creatures below level 100.

This is only a judgment on the meaning of food. Master Jiro does not understand Xu Yong's gourmet cells and gourmet demons, so he does not know that Xu Yong is now even able to fight against the offspring of the Four Beasts. Of course, he is still a bit short of defeating the offspring of the Four Beasts.

"After you finish eating, come with me to the countryside. I need to check on your current condition."

Master Jiro suddenly spoke, and as soon as he said this, Bubu and the others stared at him in astonishment.

"of course can!"

Xu Yong nodded quickly, after all, he came to see Master Jiro to learn from him.

It's obvious that Master Jiro said this to test his strength before he could begin teaching. Xu Yong just needs to receive the magic without using his trump cards.

Soon, everyone finished their meal, and this time they boarded Granny Setsuna's jellyfish camp monster.

"Although Xu Yong had mentioned the camping monster before, this is the first time I've actually seen one!"

After entering the jellyfish, everyone curiously looked around, since camping monsters were extremely rare in the human world.

"Camping monsters are very magical creatures, but they are extremely rare in the human world. There are no fixed places to capture them, but given this kid's luck with food, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to encounter one!"

Granny Jie said with a smile that Food Luck can help people achieve their goals very smoothly, so as long as Xu Yong wants to find the camping monster, it should not be difficult with the help of Food Luck.

These words actually reminded Xu Yong that he could use the power of food to acquire certain things.

Just like Komatsu, he went to the Forest of E to find E no Hoshi-chan. With such a wish, the Food Luck will help him realize that wish.

Conversely, without this desire, one's luck in food is merely random.

Therefore, Xu Yong can now control the food luck to a certain extent, which increases his chances of finding camping monsters in the human world.

Xu Yong had been so busy with training that he had forgotten he could do it this way.

With the help of the camping monster, the group quickly arrived at an island.

Such islands have little value, so there's no need to worry even if they are damaged.

After arriving at the island, Granny Setsuna and the others remained on the jellyfish, while only Xu Yong and Master Jiro came to the island.

After the two stood in place, Master Ci took out a pressure point gun and pressed it on himself a few times.

In an instant, Master Jiro's body transformed from a hunched old man into a tall, elderly man.

This is Jiro releasing the pressure points on his body. Pressure point sealing is a rather magical technique. Jiro's original form should be that of a middle-aged man.

However, Jiro hasn't returned to that state for hundreds of years, because when he does, his power increases to a level that even he himself can hardly control.

In the original story, if Granny Setsuno hadn't used the pressure dome to protect the human world, Jiro's Genes Fist would have blown the human world away without anyone else even lifting a finger.

"Alright, this is a better way to fight, let's go!"

Master Jiro said with a smile. Hearing this, Xu Yong was speechless. Let alone this form, even if Master Jiro was in his old man form, he could kill him in one move.

However, since Master Jiro had spoken, Xu Yong naturally didn't hold back, unleashing a deadly attack. A jet-black tornado erupted from his fist, hurtling straight towards Master Jiro...

The black tornado, one of the leader slime's attacks, has incredible cutting power. If this black tornado were to hit the island directly, it could instantly tear the entire island to pieces.

However, Jiro blocked the whirlwind's attack with a slap.

"The power is not bad, and there was no waste of energy when releasing the move. Your Food Skill is stronger than that of a typical Food Skill that has reached the Mastery level. You should have already learned Food Elimination!"

After blocking the black tornado and feeling its power, Master Jiro clenched his fist. The next second, his terrifying grip crushed the black tornado instantly.

The terrifying aftershocks created layers of air currents that whipped up waves several meters high on the sea surface.

"Just how strong is Master Jiro? Mr. Xu Yong's moves were completely crushed by him!"

Mirajane and the others couldn't help but marvel at Master Jiro's simple and brutal methods.

They knew that Master Jiro was very strong and Xu Yong was definitely no match for him, but the visual impact of the scene where someone unleashed a powerful move only to have it crushed with a single slap was just too great.

"You're as handsome as ever, Kojiro!"

Grandma Setsuna, standing to the side, lavishly praised her lover.

"Even though we already knew the result, seeing this scene was still quite a blow!"

Xu Yong's lips twitched when he saw this scene. He thought of the scene in the original work where Toriko was brutally beaten by Ichiryu. Now it was his turn to experience all of this.

"Come on, let's continue!"

Master Jiro didn't care about any of that. He waved his hand and told Xu Yong to continue. Hearing this, Xu Yong took a deep breath, and two calorie chopsticks appeared in his hand, with one end of the chopsticks becoming extremely sharp.

"Black paring knife!"

Xu Yong's hands suddenly turned into phantoms, and a large number of black slashes erupted from his position. In the blink of an eye, thousands of black slashes bombarded Master Jiro in different directions.

"This move is quite powerful, but it still has a significant weakness."

Master Jiro flicked his finger at the incoming black slashes, causing them to deviate from their course and collide with other slashes.

The slashes collided repeatedly in mid-air, deviating from their course, then collided again, and deviated from their course once more.

With just a few flicks of his fingers, thousands of black slashes were completely wiped out.

Immediately afterward, Xu Yong saw Master Jiro suddenly appear in front of him and flick his finger directly onto his forehead. The next second, Xu Yong's body flew backward, and at the same time, he realized that his body had been struck by acupoints.

However, it was obvious that Master Jiro hadn't used his full strength, so Xu Yong's energy could still be gathered. Instantly, Xu Yong conjured a spoon and placed it behind him, forcibly stopping his body.

At the same time, he conjured another chopstick and pierced his own body to release the pressure points.

"You are also very skilled in the use of energy and know how to adapt to changing circumstances. Most people would not think of using such a method to undo the acupoint strike you just took. Moreover, your acupoint strike foundation is also very good."

"I have figured out your situation. You can start learning from me tomorrow for three months. How much you learn depends on yourself."

After a series of tests, Master Jiro gained a thorough understanding of Xu Yong and was very satisfied with him.

Although he didn't know how Xu Yong's culinary skills had improved so quickly, he was certain that Xu Yong had a very solid foundation and genuine expertise in culinary arts, which was why he was able to learn his acupressure techniques.

"Then thank you very much, Master Jiro!"

Xu Yong quickly expressed his gratitude, after all, this person's acupressure skills were among the best in the world, and Xu Yong was quite envious of those acupressure techniques.

Although I don't know how much I can learn in three months, it's a good thing as long as I have this opportunity.

"What's wrong with you? You look like you want to say something but can't."

After returning to the jellyfish, Xu Yong saw the three of them and asked them a question.

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect Mr. Xu Yong to be defeated so easily."

Mirajane shook her head. In her eyes, Xu Yong was a powerful figure, someone she could never reach. Yet, this powerful man had been utterly powerless to resist this time, which she found hard to accept.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Classification of Acupoint Techniques and the New Role of Food Etiquette

"Is that so? Don't you think about who I'm facing? I'm facing Master Jiro. This sparring is just a test. Otherwise, I would have been defeated in one move."

After hearing Mirajane's words, Xu Yong couldn't help but laugh. His strength was indeed very good in the human world, but it was still incomparable to Master Jiro.

Master Jiro's skill level is among the top in the culinary world.

"Although I know it's not wrong to say this, it's still a little hard to accept..."

They knew that Master Jiro was very strong, but seeing Xu Yong defeated by him in such a completely overwhelming manner, it would take them some time to accept it.

"Since Kojiro is willing to teach you for three months, then your other two partners can stay here and learn from me for a while as well!"

At this moment, Granny Setsuno spoke up, explaining that she made this decision for two reasons.

First, it was because of the Century Soup that Xu Yong's suggestion allowed her to complete the cooking of the Century Soup, which was a favor.

Secondly, she had witnessed the battle just now, and Xu Yong's strength and growth rate completely exceeded their expectations.

The younger generation, including Granny Setsuna, have all met him, but so far, it seems that no one's talent can compare to Xu Yong's. Therefore, Granny Setsuna is doing this in order to build a good relationship.

"Then thank you very much, Granny Setsunori, Erina, Hisako, quickly thank her!"

Hearing this, Xu Yong was naturally pleasantly surprised. Although the two of them could learn a lot at Zhongmei Culinary Academy, and Chef Jin's cooking skills were not bad either.

But the woman in front of me is Granny Setsuna, one of the national treasures of the human world, and she is the representative of chefs in the entire human world.

Moreover, among the many chefs in the human world, Granny Setsuna is indeed the undisputed number one. With her special instruction, the two of them will surely make great strides in their culinary skills.

As for Chef Jin, Xu Yong only needed to give a greeting, and Chef Jin, knowing that the two were learning from Granny Jie Nai, naturally wouldn't say anything more.

Upon hearing Xu Yong's words, the two knew what it meant and quickly thanked him.

The two were also very surprised. During their time at the 09 Zhongmei Culinary Academy, they had gained a more comprehensive understanding of the chefs in this world and knew what Granny Setsuno meant to the chefs.
