This sudden lineup caused the Inner Courtyard disciples who had been mocking the chefs to quietly retreat and run away.
The big, dark, and fat Wang Dapang pushed through the crowd with a frosty face, looked at the Fire Monkey who was still clamoring, raised both hands, and directly grabbed his collar.
"What are you doing?" The Fire Monkey was startled by the giant in front of him.
"What am I doing? You son of a bitch!"
Wang Dapang slapped him in the face.
"You're bullying people on our Spirit Chef Hall's turf? I'm asking you, did you grow up eating shit? Spit out the Ten Thousand Fish Banquet for me!"
Wang Dapang roared, spraying the Fire Monkey's face with saliva. The powerful gust of wind made his face crackle.
"Ah..."
The Fire Monkey covered his bleeding face, took a punch to the abdomen, and vomited wildly on the ground.
"You've created a bellyful, huh? And you want us to have awe for you? You're nothing!"
"You dare to insult us, beat him, beat him to death!"
Dozens of chefs punched and kicked the Fire Monkey. The referee didn't dare to say anything, afraid that he wouldn't have food to eat in the future.
Who didn't know the Three Great Vajras of the East Courtyard's Spirit Chef Hall? In the past, a disciple who humiliated Wang Dapang had diarrhea to the point of doubting his life, and finally had to apologize with thorns on his back to settle the matter.
The onlookers were all horrified. Were the chefs so crazy? No matter what, the Fire Monkey was brought by Ling Yao.
"Stop it, all of you! Do you all want to be punished?" Ling Yao said furiously.
"What? Don't we chefs have human rights?"
Wang Dapang sat on the Fire Monkey's face. "Who started this? Can't the Ling family afford to lose?"
"The Ling family can't afford to lose? You'll have to take responsibility for that statement!"
Ling Yao knew Wang Dapang's background very well. His uncle was a high-ranking Star Official, the controller of the Spirit Chef Hall, and had considerable influence in the Star Palace.
But Ling Yao's status was even more noble than his.
"Old Fourth, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Wang Dapang didn't even look at him. He knew Ling Yao's background, and they usually kept to themselves, but didn't the chefs need face?
Involved in the dignity of the Spirit Chef Hall, they couldn't stay out of it.
"What Boss said is right. Since the Ling family's words don't count, I think we don't want this Star Stone!"
Chen Fusheng, ranked fourth, said, "And those who insulted our chefs just now, if you have any face, don't go to the banquet hall."
The Second Fatty angrily cursed, "Old Fourth is right. Is it easy for us to work in all kinds of weather? We serve you delicious food and drinks every day, working like dogs, and you still look down on us!"
Dozens of chefs clamored to quit, which made the faces of those who were preparing to mediate turn black. If the chefs went on strike, they would all have to drink the northwest wind.
"I said, you all calm down. Is it worth it to argue over such a small matter? We're all fellow disciples, just talk it out." The referee came to smooth things over.
"Shut your mouth!" The Third Fatty pointed at him and cursed, "You're the referee, and you can't even figure out the bet. Go home and drink milk!"
The old referee was so angry that he wanted to hang himself, but these three troublemakers were all descendants of mid-level Spirit Chefs, and they were not easy to provoke. Besides, he was also in the wrong.
"Enough, all of you shut up!"
"What kind of spectacle are you making with all this noise? Do you want the prominent families of Tian Yuan City to laugh at us?"
Ling Yao said coldly, "Fire Monkey's inappropriate words have already been punished. As for the rest of you, since you take the words of a nine-year-old child so seriously, you can have the Star Stones."
"But I'll say this first, you can't just win by chance and then want to leave, right?" Ling Yao knew he couldn't weasel out of this debt.
Chen Fusheng kicked the half-dead Fire Monkey and said, "According to your meaning, we can't leave even if we win?"
"Did I say that? I was even thinking of taking out a Second Order Foundation Establishment Fluid to play with you, but it seems I'll have to choose someone else." How could Ling Yao willingly let them go?
Second Order Foundation Establishment Fluid?
The big, dark Wang Dapang thought Ling Yao was crazy. Foundation Establishment Fluid was already scarce and rare, but a Second Order one? The pure price would probably be around ten thousand!
Chen Fusheng felt like he was being scratched by a cat. Foundation Establishment Fluid was specifically for shaping the foundation of the physical body, and the Second Order was aimed at the Other Shore Realm.
As everyone knew, any Second Order Foundation Establishment Fluid could allow an Other Shore Realm Star Master to effectively condense an Acquired Treasure Body, making it an incredibly rare resource.
Originally, Ling Yao had prepared to adjust his condition to its peak, refine the Foundation Establishment Fluid to strengthen his physical body, and then charge towards the Spirit Roaming realm in one go.
But he was unwilling to let them off so easily and believed that the Foundation Establishment Fluid would be an irresistible temptation for Chen Fusheng.
"Fourth Brother, the Second Order Foundation Establishment Fluid is of great importance. What if he loses and tries to weasel out of it? Let's go."
The big, dark Wang Dapang stood up, not forgetting to mock Ling Yao, almost calling him a scoundrel.
Ling Yao's anger surged, "Stop being sarcastic here. If you're afraid, then leave."
"Ling Yao, don't try to provoke me here. I don't have treasures equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Fluid," Chen Fusheng said.
"I don't need you to take out any treasures. You should know what I want. Of course, the Longevity Fish and everything else will be included."
Ling Yao glanced at Chen Fusheng's heart.
Chen Fusheng didn't expect this dog to still bethinking about his heart's blood.
Ten bowls of heart's blood were equivalent to half his life, damaging his foundation to the point of being almost incurable. Of course, he had the Furnace Contemplation Method, which could replenish it.
"How do you want to bet?"
These words caused a sensation. Liu Bai panicked because Ling Yao's confidence in using the Foundation Establishment Fluid as a bet was too great.
Mu Zhen even transmitted her voice, "Little Chen, are you crazy?"
Wang Lie didn't say anything. Chen Fusheng was a bit strange, even managing to get top-quality Spirit Fish. His fishing talent was definitely top-notch.
"Good, a gentleman's word is as good as a horse!"
Ling Yao said, "As for the rules of the competition, three nets determine the victory, with a time limit of half an hour. How about it?"
Seeing Chen Fusheng nod, Mu Zhen stomped her feet in anger. If they fell here, it would be difficult to climb back up in the future.
"It seems Fourth Brother has some skills. After only a month since his debut, he dares to go up against Ling Yao. Just wait, Fourth Brother will achieve great things in the future!"
Wang Dapang's face was serious. In the past few days of getting along, they had seen that Chen Fusheng's physique was tough. The Second Order Foundation Establishment Fluid was worth taking a risk for!
Currently, more and more onlookers are gathering in the fishing area, and disciples from the top 100 are arriving one after another, as the stakes involved in this dispute are ultimately too high.
"Begin!"
With the old referee's command.
Chen Fusheng activated the Purple Python Crossing River Diagram, his perception skyrocketing layer by layer, doubling, tripling, quadrupling...
He seemed to have transformed into a giant purple python spanning the long river, possessing an astonishing ability to explore the Black River, with a sense of holding the river area within a radius of dozens of miles in his palm!
After a short period, Chen Fusheng analyzed the activity patterns of about twenty schools of fish, one medium-sized school of fish operating far away, beyond the reach of the golden net.
Chen Fusheng's target was still Spirit Fish; activating the Purple Python Crossing River Diagram was burning money, and capturing ordinary Spirit Fish would result in a loss.
Fortunately, he had been lining his own pockets during this time, and he had successively activated more than ten diagram inscriptions. If the Purple Python Diagram was exhausted? He could replenish it with the energy of other diagram inscriptions.
Chen Fusheng also discerned that Ling Yao had begun casting his net, using scented bait powder to attract schools of fish.
Chen Fusheng knew he could compete with him, exploring in areas farther away from him.
"This kind of life signature, as intense as a flame, could it be an extremely rare fire-attribute Spirit Fish?"
The Flood Dragon Ship slowly traversed the river, naturally not the original river area, and he began to cast the golden net to capture it.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a deafening sonic boom came, the air cracking, instantly capable of tearing apart mortals.
Chen Fusheng's body stung, almost blown away.
"Not good!"
The big fat Wang Dapang's expression changed drastically. Ling Yao actually took out a second golden net, swinging his left arm, seizing Chen Fusheng's netting area.
Clearly, Ling Yao had analyzed Chen Fusheng's netting trajectory with his mental power, causing exclamations from all sides. Openly snatching?
"Bang!"
As the fishing net sank, a large patch of dazzling red light emerged from the riverbed, obviously catching a Spirit Fish.
"Isn't this too shameless?" Liu Bai was so angry he was about to spit blood.
"What do you mean shameless? I perceived it along with him, his speed is not as fast as mine, it can only be said that his cultivation is not good."
Ling Yao sneered, pulling out the golden net, and a fiery red, peculiar Spirit Fish broke out of the water, its tail like a flame, eye-catching.
"My heavens, it's a Red Sun Fish!"
Everyone was collectively shocked. Fire-attribute Spirit Fish were extremely scarce, of utmost importance to fire-type Star Masters, strictly speaking, capable of improving the energy quality of fire-type Star Masters.
Energy quality elevated? The overall combat power of the Star Master would naturally be elevated. The improvement brought about by qualitative change was exceptionally terrifying, hence the price of Red Sun Fish was several times higher than Spirit Fish of the same rank!
Wang Dapang watched from afar, his face unsightly. Chen Fusheng's combat experience was still limited, and he had been schemed against by Ling Yao just like that.
