Chapter 185 Inhuman
Li Yan pulled off the blindfold from his face, walked quickly to Xu Qing, and threatened him coldly: "Boy, if I find out that you are shortchanging me or cheating, I will pour poison into your mouth right now!"

Li Yan has already performed at his best ever, and he believes that no one can be faster than him.

After all, knife skills have their limits.

His knife skills have been trained to the limit, and he even tried his best to eliminate unnecessary movements to ensure that every movement and every trajectory of the knife is kept in the best condition and at the fastest speed.

Even if there is someone who can be faster than him, he will only be a few seconds faster at most, it is impossible to be faster than him!

However, now, he still has one lobster left to process and there is still a lot of time left, so Xu Qing said that it has been finished?
how can that be!

Li Yan looked down with anger and confusion, and saw that there was indeed a lobster platter on the table.

The dishes were exquisitely presented and complete, with no shortage of quantity.

However, this made Li Yan even more confused.

The duels took place simultaneously, and Xu Qing had no way to prepare in advance.

But how could Xu Qing be so much faster than him?

This is completely unreasonable!

Lai He walked to the table, pointed at the dishes and said, "Li Yan, take a closer look at these ingredients."

Li Yan looked down upon hearing the sound, and saw that the cut of the meat was extremely smooth and delicate, and the cross section was like a smooth mirror, which could almost clearly reflect a person's shadow. The lobster meat was round and plump, tender and soft, making people want to put it in their mouths and chew it gently to experience the wonderful sweetness.

Li Yan's eyes suddenly focused. He hurriedly took out the platter he had made earlier and put the two together to compare. Only then did he notice the extremely clear difference.

His lobster platter was much inferior to Xu Qing's dish in terms of color, fullness of meat, and completeness of cuts.

Xu Qing's lobster platter had almost no loss of meat texture, and the meat was round and full, as if it had never been wrapped in a shell.

However, since the lobster meat is closely connected to the shell, it is very difficult to avoid damaging the meat as much as possible during the shelling process, let alone keep the meat to such a complete degree.

This requires the chef to spend a lot of time and energy to peel off the shell bit by bit to preserve the best quality of the meat.

However, in a competition where speed is the key, no one would do this.

What’s scary is that Xu Qing still maintained an extremely fast speed while performing such delicate operations.

This is simply unimaginable!
Even though he saw it with his own eyes, Li Yan still didn't want to admit that this was a dish that was made at the duel.

Li Yan muttered to himself, "This... This is impossible! How can there be such delicate and exquisite knife skills, such precision, and at the same time such a fast speed! I have clearly reached the limit of knife skills..."

He suddenly rushed to Xu Qing, grabbed his clothes, stared at him with his scarlet eyes, and said fanatically: "Tell you how you did it!"

Xu Qing pried his hand open, took out a lobster from the basket, and said, "If you want to know, I'll show you."

Li Yan couldn't wait, "Hurry up!"

Lai He couldn't bear it and said, "I advise you not to watch it."

Li Yan stared at the kitchen knife in Xu Qing's hand and said without turning his head: "No, I must watch it! If I don't watch it, I will never be at peace in my life."

Lai He sighed: "Alas, I'm afraid you will feel even more uneasy after reading this..."

No matter what Lai He said, Li Yan turned a deaf ear to it.

Xu Qing placed the lobster on the chopping board, raised the kitchen knife, and lightly wiped the lobster's shell. A bright silver knife light flashed suddenly, and the lobster trembled twice as if it had life. The hard thick shell on its body then split into two halves and fell off by itself, revealing the plump and soft shrimp meat. The shrimp meat still had a lustrous luster, just like a lobster that had just shed its shell in the sea.

Li Yan widened his eyes and looked at the kitchen knife in Xu Qing's hand in disbelief.

What did he do?
Did his kitchen knife move?
The lobster meat and shell, which were originally tightly connected, separated so naturally. Is this really the skill of the knife?

How can one have such knife skills?
Even after seeing it with his own eyes, he still couldn't believe it.

It's even hard to imagine.

The knife move was so fast that the eyes couldn't keep up. The only thing left in his mind was the bright silver light of the knife, like a flash of lightning in the darkness, which was deeply imprinted in his mind.

All his memories of knife skills became dim in the face of this silver knife light.

Li Yan's body swayed in a trance.

His confidence and pride in his knife skills were completely destroyed in the face of this unimaginable silver light from the knife.

It turns out that what he thought was his limit was not the limit of his knife skills, but his limit.

No, it should be said that it is the limit of human beings.

What appeared before his eyes at this moment was inhuman knife skills, which was definitely not something that could be achieved by human power!

But it actually appeared before his eyes.

What's even more terrifying is that the silver light of the knife would linger in his mind. Whenever he picked up a kitchen knife, he would think of the light. He would involuntarily compare his knife skills with the light, and he would involuntarily chase after it and crave for it.

But no matter how fast he ran or how hard he chased, he would never be able to reach the place where the silver knife light was.

In the end, all he got was endless despair.

Li Yan closed his eyes tightly. Lai He was right, he shouldn't look.

At this moment he no longer had any doubts about Xu Qing's dishes.

With such inhuman knife skills, what is impossible?
Li Yan said in a trance: "You won this duel."

Winning is unquestionable.

Xu Qing is also very satisfied with his knife skills, which have always been his best skill.

During this period of time, even though he practiced Master Luo Tian's unique skills every day, he did not slack off in his knife skills.

Long-term practice coupled with the help of his outstanding senses made his knife skills more and more sophisticated.

And this is not the limit for him.

Even he himself is not sure how far his knife skills will eventually improve.

The only thing he can do is to keep practicing.

"Let's start the second game. Time is running out."

Xu Qing said.

After all, the sooner you get the antidote, the better.

Li Yan took a deep breath and shook his head vigorously. Relying on the strong willpower cultivated from years of immersion in the hell of revenge, he barely suppressed the silver blade light in his heart.

He still has things to do and can't stop here!
Even though he lost the first game to that inhuman knife skills, he would not lose the second and third games!

Li Yan adjusted his mindset and said to Xu Qing, "The second round is frying, that is, frying lobsters. This duel tests the chef's control over the heat and time. Just like the last round, the person who finishes the dish first wins! If both parties finish at the same time, the winner will be determined by the taste of the dish. Your knife skills are indeed amazing, far beyond my imagination. But in terms of control over the heat and frying time, I will not lose to you again! Just stare and see the skills I have honed in the hell of revenge for many years!"
