"Is that aroma coming from Chen Long's oven? Joke, do you think today is Fool's Day?"

"Exactly! Do you think we're all fools?"

"No doubt, thinking we're idiots!"

Not convinced!

Everyone present heard his words, and they didn't believe him at all!

Though they're not experts, they know that when it comes to roast chicken, marinating is a very, very crucial step...

Chen Long previously skipped this critical step entirely, so the roast chicken in that oven isn't marinated at all!

In this situation, it couldn't possibly emit such an absolutely fragrant scent...

Faced with unanimous skepticism, the man was slightly annoyed...

Soon, he ruffled his hair and shouted, "I swear, this intoxicating aroma is really wafting from that oven. If you don't believe it, just turn around and have a look!"

"Not looking! Even if you talk until the end of the world, we still won't look!"

"Right!"

"Not looking at all!"

Rejected again, the corners of his mouth twitched crazily several times!

Soon, he turned his head towards the three judges...

Then, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Look at those three judges; they're also staring blankly at Chen Long's oven!"

Hearing this, they turned their heads towards the three judges!

Soon, they were surprised!

Because at this moment, they realized he was right...

The three judges were indeed staring at Chen Long's oven in a daze, and one of them was even about to drool!

"Could it be that this irresistible aroma really comes from Chen Long's oven? But how is that possible!"

Driven crazy like this, they turned their heads to look at the oven in front of Chen Long!

Soon, they were dumbfounded, their eyes widening...

The reason for their shock was because they were now completely certain that this incredibly rich aroma did indeed come from inside Chen Long's oven.

"It's true! It's real!"

Muttering to themselves, they bit their own arms hard!

At this moment, they were certain they weren't dreaming!

The aroma that made their souls quiver really did come from that oven!

"What's going on? Why has the scene gone completely silent? I've realized! Everyone's been stunned by my extraordinary skills!"

Pan Jun mumbled, concluding his judgment...

He prided himself on his high level of skill, believing he could truly leave everyone in awe...

Thinking this, Pan Jun raised his head proudly.

In an instant, his expression changed dramatically!

The reason for his drastic change in expression was that when he raised his head, he saw that not a single person present was looking at him...

Exactly!

At this moment, everyone was staring at Chen Long not far away, with many even drooling.

"What the...?! What's going on?!"

Cursing under his breath in frustration, he took a deep breath and quickly turned his head towards Chen Long.

Instantly, his expression turned even uglier, because as he turned his head, he caught a faint whiff of the aroma in the air.

As a true expert, he knew immediately what that smell represented upon detecting it.

It was for this reason that Pan Jun was left gobsmacked, eyes wide in disbelief.

Feeling Pan Jun's shock, Chen Long glanced at him calmly...

In that instant, a slight sneer appeared on Chen Long's face.

In Chen Long's view, Pan Jun was about to meet a complete defeat...

And of course, he brought this all upon himself!

Anyway, Chen Long felt absolutely no sympathy for him...

...

In the car, Song Yaling also caught a whiff of that rich aroma!

Her eyes lighting up slightly, she looked at Xiaobei, chuckling softly, "No wonder you were so confident just now, you must have known you'd crush the competition, right?"

Glancing at Song Yaling, Xiaobei replied with a knowing smile, "Isn't it normal to crush this kind of trash?"

Hearing Xiaobei's response, Song Yaling thought for a moment, then softly said, "You know, you're right; it does indeed seem quite normal!"

As Song Yaling spoke calmly, on the stage, Chen Long heard a 'click' from the oven!

He knew this meant the set time had ended!

As soon as Chen Long heard this sound, everyone present and the judges heard it too. For a moment, they all stared intently at the oven!

They were all eager for Chen Long to open the oven lid right away!

Seeing the excitement and craze in everyone's eyes, Chen Long clapped his hands gently!

After attracting everyone's attention, Chen Long spoke softly!

"Everyone, my roast chicken is ready, though the opponent's side is still a bit behind. To be fair, I'd rather wait a little while longer!"

After saying this, Chen Long looked over at Pan Jun...

The three judges quickly spoke after hearing Chen Long's words: "No need to wait!"

Upon smelling that absolutely tempting aroma before, they were already itching to try it!

Now that they knew the roast chicken was ready, they were eager to taste it as soon as possible. In this situation, they naturally didn't want Chen Long to keep waiting...

Because they knew, if they continued to wait, they'd really go crazy.

...

Feeling the eagerness of the three judges, Chen Long smiled faintly!

Soon, Chen Long said softly, "If I don't wait, it might not be fair to Pan Jun!"

Saying this, Chen Long lifted his head and once again looked at Pan Jun, who wore a difficult expression!

Seeing his frustration, Chen Long spoke softly, "Pan Jun, time is running out, so you better hurry up! If you don't wrap it up soon, there won't be any time left! By then, you won't even qualify to compete with me!"

Hearing such teasing, Pan Jun's mouth twitched fiercely...

Soon, he replied coldly, "Since President Chen is willing to wait for me, okay, I'll hurry on my side! You definitely won't be disappointed!"

After saying this, he continued brushing various seasonings onto the chicken in his hands, marinating it further...

As his mindset changed, so did his technique.

Noticing this, he clenched his fist tightly, realizing he'd been completely affected...

Calm down; I need to calm down!

I can't let him affect me; even if his roast chicken smells great, nobody knows whether it's truly good or not.

I shouldn't be nervous, really shouldn't be nervous at all!

Seeing him stop abruptly, the audience present was displeased...

Soon, everyone screamed hysterically!

"Are you dead?!"

"Yeah, hurry up!"

"Exactly! Everyone's waiting for you, how much longer do you expect us to wait?!"

"Right! If you can't do it, just stop! You're wasting time!"

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall falls, everyone pushes!

Previously, Pan Jun was the crowd's favorite, and everyone was willing to support him!

But now, Pan Jun has become the underdog, so the support and admiration for him have plummeted.

This is why, seeing him slowing down, people started openly criticizing him...

Pan Jun, already unsettled, was furious to the extreme being criticized like this...

"It's all because of Chen Long, this is all because of Chen Long!"

Uttering this in a mad frenzy, Pan Jun tried to calm himself, but found he truly couldn't; he knew he was now completely off-balance...
