Every chef in the arena possesses Extraordinary Power, a tiny fraction are humans, while the majority are Order Demons. Simply distinguishing whether a dish is delicious or not based on its aroma is an utterly basic and effortless ability for them.

But at this moment, even the "Bru Demon", recognized as having the most powerful sense of smell, couldn't distinguish from the aroma alone whether the meat soup cooked at a terrifying speed in the tile jar held by Tang Qi was tasty or not.

All they could feel was their mouths going dry, their stomachs empty, and they couldn't wait to taste that meat soup.

"Boil Snow Mountain Water, add three Onion Dwarves and the root block of strange fragrant grass, chop up the meat of the Three-eyed Plate Sheep Young Beasts, then squeeze in the milk water from the Minotaur Monster... Could such a simple recipe create a meat soup that smells so delicious?"

The chefs felt both thirst and skepticism as they looked towards Tang Qi.

One of them reacted immediately.

It was that "Mr. Bao Caiming" from Sweet Water City, who seemed to lose his soul and walk towards Tang Qi, abandoning his chef's knife.

As he walked over, he subconsciously wiped the drool from his mouth, muttering uncontrollably, "This aroma, it's too enchanting, I really want to taste it, just one sip..."

Normally, everyone in the arena would have been rivals, and their competition "works" should be closely guarded, not to be tasted by the enemy, to avoid any secrets of the recipe being spied upon.

However, this principle does not apply to Tang Qi.

When faced with the young man's request, Tang Qi actually agreed with a smile, and then the young man instantly took out a large bowl from behind his back, eagerly awaiting Tang Qi, his drool almost flowing into the bowl.

The chefs who were in the process of "selecting ingredients" all cast their hopeful gazes, feeling a tinge of eagerness.

Poor them, if they observed more carefully, they would have seen a vague face appearing on the exquisite "Kitchen Tools Bag", which was trying hard to squeeze out an expression of sympathy and pity. The shadow on the ground, occasionally illuminated by a beam of golden sunlight squeezing through the gaps in the leaves, was giving a similar hint.

"Wait a moment, just one last step," said Tang Qi, smiling brilliantly. His appearance and temperament were so harmonious and natural that people couldn't help but feel goodwill towards him, and no one noticed the mischief in that smile.

As he approached and removed the Red Flames, he said in an admonishing, instructing tone: "A mature soup dish should allow the taster to enjoy an indescribably delicious flavor, make them marvel, satisfy them."

The ones rendered speechless were three Little Guys.

The others, under the influence of the Illusion Spell, did not hear Tang Qi's voice. They only saw the human chef remove the Flames, and then filled a full bowl of meat soup for the young chef from Sweet Water City.

Without any waiting and without regard to the excessive heat, the young man tilted his head back, poured the meat soup into his mouth, and with the sounds of gulping, the large bowl of soup was quickly emptied.

Three subtle, schadenfreude gazes, along with other envious and hopeful ones, all fell on him at the same time.

The next second, signs that would appear on anyone who tasted the "delicious meat soup" emerged on him, starting from the top of his head, it began to redden, emitting hot Steam.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

But what was different was, not only did he not feel the taste to be unpleasant, his whole face beamed with joy, astonishment, and incredulity appeared in his expression, as he could not help dancing in the steam, sighing with extreme satisfaction.

Disguised as a Kitchen Tools Bag, Gluttony, its features mimicked an indescribable expression.

The other two Little Guys felt the same, and if they could speak at that moment, they probably couldn't help but exclaim: "Can the Truth Spell actually be used like this?"

Tang Qi, confirming the success of the experiment, began to cook a large portion of "delicious meat soup."

The tasters: the other competing chefs, as well as the head chefs from the twelve Extraordinary restaurants.

A competition that should have been extremely fierce, due to Tang Qi's meddling, became incredibly harmonious, yet Abnormal.

If it were just a single serving of "delicious meat soup", naturally it would not achieve this effect, and might even produce the opposite result.

The soup's original flavor, not to mention being used in the Extraordinary Food Championship, even if it was brought to a real-world cooking competition, the outcome would be the same, it would be directly booted out by everyone.

But after Tang Qi's "extra seasoning", everything changed.

The meat soup, layered with a Truth Spell, was like a delicious food bomb, directly disrupting the scene's atmosphere.

"Compared to human chefs in the real world, Extraordinary Chefs have a staggering threshold. Even the most Transcendent Cooking can earn nods of approval at best, such as the previously scorned delicious meat soup by Savoy and Courtney."

"But after the release of the Truth Spell, everything is different, the soup will disregard taste, preferences, or other interfering factors, and act directly."

"The effects of amazement and satisfaction should be enough to pass the evaluation."

Tang Qi, looking at the meat soup upon which he had cast the Truth Spell, consumed to the last drop, and in a very rapid time, movements of astonishment and dancing emerged from the twelve restaurants. They struggled to stay out of sight, but all sent Tang Qi a proof of clearance.

"You've created a record, sir."

"Please enter the Eating House!"

Savoy, holding a bowl of meat soup, a rare smile emerged on his icy face, following the end of his words.

Deep within the Tatalia Forest, the ground covered in flowers and grass, the dense trees, the hanging vines...these scenes automatically parted, revealing an incredibly wondrous world that truly took Tang Qi's breath away.

It was as if he had entered a scene from a child's dream: like an Immortal Realm with lush green grass, stones, big trees, rivers, bridges...everything was made of Food, and every item was Extraordinary Food.

In Tang Qi's eyes, a ghostly light flickered, and Information Fragments that made one's mouth water erupted continuously.

At the same time, he also felt from beside him, waves of Desire throbbing from Gluttony. If Tang Qi hadn't restrained it, this creature would have already taken the two Little Guys and barged into the "Tatalia Secret Realm" to gallop about in joy.

But at this moment, Tang Qi suppressed it.

With a single thought from him, the dreamy scene before his eyes immediately changed.

Those Extraordinary Foods were all entwined with black lines, releasing a High-level power that was rapidly decaying, causing the essence of the Extraordinary Foods to rot quickly yet stimulating even more delicious aromas.

The source of these black lines was at the deepest part of the Secret Realm, inside a huge, colorful, and mesmerizing stone house.

"Curios: Food House, forged by the Extraordinary Chef Association, all the settings inside have an irresistible attraction for an Extraordinary Chef..."

The always easy-going Tang Qi furrowed his brows slightly.

Without the need for speculation, it was obvious that the aura of those black lines belonged to the "Evil Tongue God Mesolia."

Originally, Tang Qi thought that although it was an Evil God, since it is related to the "Food" of the Divine Domain, it probably wouldn't be too disgusting.

But now, he suddenly realized that he had an instinctual repulsion and aversion to that aura.

"What a detestable scent and aura, its essence is Rotten and greedy, yet disguised as delicious... Compared to Bolusa or Flora, they seem to become adorable."

A thought flashed by, and he glanced at the chefs who were still immersed in the deliciousness of his cooking, then he turned to Savoy with a faint smile, and stepped directly into the Tatalia Secret Realm.

His steps were faster than at any time before.

"Since Mesolia has already blended into the 'Food House,' the contestants and judges inside will likely encounter Misfortune, even though Mesolia has been weakened to the limit, one more step and she will fall, but after all, she is a Divine."

"Those Extraordinary Chefs, I'm afraid, won't resist for long."

Tang Qi suppressed the urge to release the "Flame Spell" to burn away the black lines and quickly arrived in front of the Food House, pushing with his hand.

The tall, majestic wooden door creaked open, and the space within, forming a sharp contrast with the colorful scenery of the outside world, immediately filled Tang Qi's sight.

Under the dim overhead lights which shone down, their light concentrated only in the central area. There, one could see individual fantasy-styled open kitchens, and large amounts of Extraordinary Food ingredients piled up like mountains, even more rare and precious than those outside.

Any one of them taken out would be enough to incite a scramble.

Inside those kitchens stood figures, mostly Demon Chefs, with a small portion being Human.

Behind the ingredients area, there was a long table with about a dozen figures sitting in the shadows, apart from vaguely discernible silhouettes, nothing else could be seen.

As Tang Qi observed the details, the dim light flickered a few times.

A middle-aged man wearing a white shirt, black vest, tied with a bowtie, neatly combed hair swept back, and slightly gaunt, walked out from under the light.

"Welcome, young contestant. I heard you've broken the record for passing the second round the quickest. My name is Alfred, and I'm the host for the final round of the championship. I'm looking forward to your performance."

"Now, before you take your seat to wait, you can try some of the Foods personally cooked by a few judges."

Accompanied by the host's impeccable greeting, Tang Qi's gaze naturally fell on a nearby stone table, obviously Curios.

On it were placed more than a dozen dishes, still steaming and radiating scents that made one unable to resist.

Each one was filled with that Extraordinary flavor.

And Tang Qi's gaze was almost immediately attracted to one of them.

It looked like a "tongue" from some kind of Biological creature, cooked into a dish, in the rising Steam, it showed an extremely tempting color, no side dishes were placed around, only the golden "sauce" flowed out, and the illusion of Phosphor gleamed from within.

Anyone who looked over would immediately feel light, as if in an Unreal, unimaginable Illusion Realm, one of the most primal Desires of humans "appetite," instantly dominated their Mind.

At the same time, various immersive, amazing feelings arose from deep within, as if all the organs in the body were being mobilized, just to enjoy all the extraordinary flavors within the Food.

As Tang Qi "uncontrollably" approached it, inside the Food House. Starting with the host called "Alfred," a deep, Mistaken murmur began to emanate from the mouths of each contestant and judge, starting to echo: "Eat it! Eat it! Eat it..."
