Chapter 249 Pre-match Pressure
The next day, in front of the Daisen Temple, people from both the light and dark culinary worlds arrived at the same time.
The people in the dark cooking world returned the legendary kitchen utensil they had stolen, the Yongling Sword, to the Daxian Temple.
In order to allow Yongling Dao to witness this battle between swordsmen in front of the gods.
"Humph, the legendary kitchen utensils have neither eyes nor ears, how can they bear witness?"
Xiang En sneered and said.
"You underestimate the legendary kitchen utensils."
Master Roger said, "Excellent knives have souls, not to mention legendary kitchen utensils. They are like living things. Although they don't have facial features or physical perceptions like humans, their souls and hearts allow them to see more and more clearly. They also allow them to see things that human eyes cannot see."
Hearing what Luo Xie said, Xiang En asked in surprise: "Master Luo Xie, are the legendary kitchen utensils really so magical?"
Roger said: "I'm afraid it will be more magical than I imagined."
"is it?"
Xiang En frowned.
She always felt that something seemed beyond her expectations.
In any case, she just needs to follow the original plan and win this battle of swordsmanship before the gods.
The winner gets everything, the loser gets nothing.
This is the style of the dark cuisine world.
This cooking competition was unprecedented.
Although the Guangdong Chefs Association initially wanted to conceal the news and minimize the impact.
But unfortunately, on the night when the Eternal Spirit Sword was taken away, the sound of bells rang throughout the city of Guangzhou, and everyone heard it.
People could easily guess that something big must have happened, and the reason why Daxian Temple was in such a panic was probably because of the legendary problem with the kitchen utensils.
Therefore, by the next day, the legendary disappearance of the kitchen utensils had spread throughout the streets and alleys, and it was impossible to hide it.
At the same time, doubts and criticisms about the Guangdong Chefs Association also followed.
There was no other way. For the sake of the reputation of the Guangdong Chefs Association, they could only be open and honest and invite many people to watch the battle to prove that they had the ability to take the Yongling Sword back.
Therefore, the scene of the match was crowded with people who came to watch the game, and at a glance, there were only a sea of heads.
Guangzhou prefect Yu Liang was also at the scene, and he secretly deployed a number of officers and soldiers to prevent any changes.
There are four judges for this cooking showdown, two from each side.
On the side of the Guangdong Chefs Association are Elder Li and Master Luo Tian, and on the side of the Dark Cuisine World are Elder Huang and Elder He.
The four judges took their seats.
The two parties involved in the duel also stepped forward at the same time.
On this side of Guangming Cuisine World is Xu Qing.
And the mysterious chef from the dark cuisine world also showed up at this moment.
Two figures were walking towards them from a distance. One of them was shorter and wore a cloak that covered his face. The other was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and there was nothing unusual about him.
When they got closer, the person in the cloak took off the cloak, and everyone realized that this was actually a female chef, and a very beautiful one at that.
This astonishing discovery caused an uproar among the audience.
"A female chef?"
"This is really rare!"
The moment Xu Qing saw the other person, he realized his identity.
There are few female chefs, and there is only one female chef who is the most famous in the dark cuisine world.
Xiang En walked up to Xu Qing and asked, "Are you Xu Qing?"
"Yes." Xu Qing replied.
Xiang En smiled confidently and said, "Then you better remember, I am Xiang En, the 'One Zhang Qing' of the dark cuisine world, and I am going to beat you."
Xiang En continued, "I know you have defeated Chef Lin Lai He, but there are differences among Chef Lin. I, Xiang En, am far stronger than Lai He. Even if you muster up all your strength, you cannot defeat me. Just struggle with all your might, but at least don't lose too badly. After all, everyone is watching you, and countless eyes are watching your every move."
Xiang En said as he looked around.
The surrounding audience was bustling with people, and the noisy atmosphere was an invisible and huge pressure.
For those who lack self-confidence, this pressure will turn into deep doubt about themselves. They will feel that their every move is being scrutinized and criticized behind their backs.
Therefore, you will be cautious, doubt yourself, and try to do better than usual.
In the midst of doubt, tension and pressure, people often lose their composure. Their desire to do better ends up making them timid, worried about gains and losses, and ultimately failing to perform at even half of their usual level.
Xiang En wanted to express this pressure so that Xu Qing would become more concerned and more at a loss.
Women have more delicate minds than men, and Xiang En has taken this to the extreme. She has trained herself to be able to manipulate people's minds with words and actions.
Therefore, everything goes well.
This trick is especially effective against teenagers.
Because of puberty and incomplete physical development, teenagers' mood swings can be very drastic. Some trivial things that seem insignificant to adults may seem like the sky has fallen in the eyes of teenagers.
Under the spotlight and under such tremendous pressure, it would be difficult for a teenager, even a middle-aged person with rich life experience, to remain calm.
Although it is a bit despicable to use this method to deal with a teenager.
But people in the dark cuisine world don’t care about that.
Xiang En looked at Xu Qing smugly, waiting for a look of panic to appear on his face.
But what she saw was peace.
It was as peaceful as taking a walk by the lake.
It was as if the deafening noise in my ears didn't exist.
I have to say that Xiang En's pre-match pressure was indeed very clever.
If the opponent was not Xu Qing, he might have been caught.
Unfortunately, Xu Qing remained indifferent.
Xu Qing's extraordinary calmness made Xiang En feel inexplicably panicked for the first time. The weapon that had always been effective did not cause the slightest wave.
How could this be?
She subconsciously took two steps back and said stubbornly, "Humph, you can only remain calm now! When you fail, I hope you can remain so calm."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Xiang En inexplicably didn't dare to look Xu Qing in the eye again.
She always felt that the longer she looked into those calm eyes, the more uneasy she felt.
Damn it!
It was obvious that she went there to put pressure on her opponent before the game and to intimidate him!
How could the opponent outwit me?
Xiang En walked back to Luo Che with a gloomy face and said, "Give me the knife."
"Oh? Didn't you say before that we could easily win without that knife?"
Xiang En said angrily, "I've decided. I don't just want to win. I want to make that guy taste complete defeat, so that he can no longer pretend to be calm!"
Hearing this, Luo Che looked at Xu Qing. Xu Qing was indeed very calm, at least much calmer than the furious Xiang En.
It seems that Xiang En's best tactic has backfired.
This young man is extraordinary.
Roger, who had no interest in anything other than knives, paid more attention to one person for the first time.
