Chapter 195 Unexpected
"Next, it will be your final battle with Lai He. Xu Qing, you must be careful. I don't know what he will do."

"I know, Master Jidi."

Both of them had serious expressions on their faces.

People in the dark cuisine world have always been very mysterious. They have endless secret tricks at their disposal, always making it hard to guard against them.

Even though Xu Qing was confident in his own abilities, he did not dare to be careless at all.

Mei Li looked relaxed and said confidently, "Don't worry, father. Brother Xu Qing will definitely defeat the opponent! Didn't you see the expression on Lai He's face during the cooking duel? He was completely frightened by Brother Xu Qing's strength! Brother Xu Qing will definitely take care of this kind of person in no time. Then we can go home together."

Meili's innocent words diluted the solemn atmosphere, and Xu Qing and Jidi's expressions both relaxed a little.

Master Jidi sighed, "It would be great if it could go this smoothly."

At this time, heavy footsteps were heard from a distance. Xu Qing, who was chatting with Master Jidi and others, suddenly raised his head and stared at the end of the passage.

Not right.

There was something wrong with the footsteps.

Among all the people present, no one could make such footsteps.

The footsteps were much heavier than those of ordinary people. It was obvious that this person was extremely strong. However, when he retracted his feet, they were so light that it was almost unnoticeable. It seemed that this person was not only strong, but also more agile than ordinary people.

Who is this person?

Is he a hidden master in the dark cuisine world?

When the man's figure was fully revealed, Xu Qing was surprised to find that this man was actually Lai He.

However, Lai He was completely different at this time, as if he had become a different person.

His size was more than twice as large as before, and compared to Li Yan and the thin old man beside him, he looked like a little giant.

Moreover, his skin was an abnormally red color, and he was emitting astonishing heat, as if he had just crawled out of flames.

Lai He's arms, which were already special to begin with, became even more strange at this moment. His arms were thick and bloated, with bulging veins on his arms, densely entangled in the muscles, and beating with the heartbeat. They did not look like human hands, but more like the arms of the ancient demon god in the legend, which made people feel numb at the first sight.

Lai He's eyes were sparkling with brilliance, and his sharp gaze was like thunder and lightning that cut through the sky, making people tremble in their hearts and dare not look at him.

Meili was so scared that she quickly hid behind Master Jidi, her little face turned pale and she didn't dare to look anymore.

Lai He looked like a demon crawling out of hell. Just one look at him would scare you into having nightmares.

Jidi and Xu Qing looked extremely solemn.

Neither of them had expected Lai He to turn out like this.

It is unheard of that a person's appearance can be changed drastically in such a short period of time.

Xu Qing asked: "Master Jidi, have you ever heard of a skill that can bring about such a big change in a person?"

Master Jidi shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it. There are methods in the light cuisine world that can strengthen the body, but it requires a long period of practice. Such a big change in such a short period of time is unbelievable if you don't see it with your own eyes. This is probably a secret method unique to the dark cuisine world."

The skinny old man admired the shocked expressions on their faces and sneered complacently, "You guessed right, this is the unique secret technique of the dark cuisine world! It can increase a person's physique, strength, speed, endurance and perception several times in a short period of time! Even if it is an ordinary person, after the secret method is used to stimulate their potential, there will be earth-shaking changes. Not to mention a top chef like Lord Lai He. Even if you try your best to imagine the strength of the Lord now, you will never be able to imagine it!"

It actually strengthens a person's strength in all aspects!

Jidi's heart sank. Lai He's strength was already strong. After being strengthened in all aspects, how strong would he be?
It is really hard to imagine. However, such a powerful effect must come with a price.

Jidi said, "To fully stimulate the potential in the body in a short period of time will cause great harm to the body."

The thin old man had a gloomy face.

He was right.

Everything that can bring huge benefits to people in a short period of time comes with a huge price.

Master Jidi whispered, "Xu Qing, he won't be able to maintain this condition for long."

Xu Qing nodded slightly.

The best way is to delay the process until the time is up and the other party can no longer continue.

However, the other party must be very clear about this.

Lai He said, "That's enough. Enough of the small talk, let's start the final showdown, Xu Qing."

Xu Qing asked: "What is the topic?"

Lai He clapped his hands, and the wall behind him slowly opened. Dozens of men in black slowly came into the field pushing a giant water tank. The water tank was more than ten meters long and wide, occupying almost half of the field.

The clear water makes the venue look hazy and dreamy.

In the water tank, two huge black shadows suddenly appeared. Their abnormal size made people feel like monsters lurking in the deep sea, which was shocking.

Lai He walked to the water tank, looked into it intently, and suddenly, with lightning speed, he accurately caught one of the black shadows.

There was a wave in the water tank, with water splashing everywhere, and the huge black shadow revealed its true appearance at this time. It turned out to be a squid about four or five meters long.

This squid is light pink and has several long tentacles. Its huge and strange appearance is very unique.

After Lai He showed the squid to everyone, he threw it back into the water.

Not only had Xu Qing never seen such a squid, even Master Jidi, who had been the head chef at Yangquan Restaurant for many years, had never seen such a huge and strange squid.

Lai He said: "This is a giant squid carefully cultivated by the dark cuisine world. It cannot be seen anywhere else. The meat of this squid is very tender. At the same time, compared with ordinary squid, it also has rich fat, so the taste is smoother and richer than ordinary squid, and it has a unique aroma."

"However, the production requirements of this kind of squid are extremely high. It will die soon after leaving the water, and once the squid dies, the texture and taste of its meat will rapidly deteriorate. Therefore, if you want to preserve the best taste of the squid meat, you must process the squid very quickly. Secondly, the shelf life of this kind of squid meat is also very short, and its best taste will only last for a quarter of an hour. Once it exceeds a quarter of an hour, its texture and taste will rapidly deteriorate."

Xu Qing thought to himself, as expected, the key point is time.

To prepare dishes in the shortest possible time.

Lai He knew that his body could not last long, so he needed to decide the outcome in the shortest time possible.

Lai He looked at Xu Qing and said, "You just heard it. My body has been strengthened in all aspects. Even I am not sure how strong I am. At this moment, I am stronger than you can imagine! Do you dare to compete in this duel?"

"Of course I dare. This duel is what I want most."

Xu Qing said immediately.
