The Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong

"Duang--"

In the silence of the entire audience, a bell suddenly rang out. The judges, abruptly pulled from their reverie of delicious food, looked in the direction of the sound and saw "Sun Wukong" sitting on the award stage, playing with a gourd in his hand. Inside the gourd were twelve Nine-Turn Golden Elixir (spices) made by the old master Li Boyang!

Feng Xue tapped the bronze bell, presumably used to announce the champion, with her gourd, then casually crossed her legs and said mockingly:

"Don't rush, don't rush. I'm not about to just snatch it and leave. There's less than an hour left before the Peach Banquet ends. Theoretically, all the world's top chefs are here. I'll wait here. You're welcome to try and surpass my 'Peach'!"

Feng Xue unscrewed the gourd stopper and smelled the spices inside. A slight smile played on his lips. As he picked up the Golden Elixir Gourd, the nascent form of the Weird Tale was finally complete.

Trait: The Great Sage, Equal to Heaven - Sun Wukong

Tag: [Monkey King], [Strongest], [Battle], [Chef], [Food], [Pastry], [Grandmaster], [Challenging Authority]

Synopsis: Any organization that wields power will inevitably develop various problems over time, even the simplest food is no exception.

In this culinary world dominated by food critics, the rule that taste should determine everything is slowly being changed.

Faction, origin, region...

Various samples that should not be used as the standard for judging food have begun to emerge, and people are slowly getting used to this.

Until he appeared.

Sun Wukong, a name without origin, whose exact information cannot be found anywhere. He seems to have been born out of nowhere, leaving no trace. The only record is that he graduated from a place called "Mount Fangcun Chef Training Academy," but apart from the fact that the certificate is indeed genuine, no one knows where this academy is located.

He started at the Dragon Palace City Dragon Gate Noodle Competition, winning the championship with his Seventy-two Faces of Soaring Dragon without any controversy. However, due to despicable factional infighting, he was excluded from the Peach Contest. Despite having at least a professor-level title, he only received an offer for a teaching assistant position.

But unlike others who had faced similar predicaments, he did not succumb to despair. Instead, he raised the banner of resistance against the high and mighty food jury.

At the Peach Banquet, he called himself the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, using his unparalleled Martial Arts to break through all obstacles, and with a single peach, he overwhelmed the famous chefs of all the countries, becoming famous throughout the world.

Historically, it is said that "one peach can overshadow a hundred banquets, and a single person can subdue ten thousand nations!"

Powers: [Cook], [Subdue the Superior], [Seventy-two Faces]

Real World Rules: [Loss of Way], [Banquet], [Gourmet Competition]

Companion Phantom: [Peach of Immortality], [Golden Elixir], [Ruyi Stick]

Name: Phantom Object

Elements: [Food], [Delicious], [Exquisite], [Rare], [Perfect]

Introduction: The dishes used by Number One Under Heaven, the Sun Wukong Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, to rebel against the Peach Banquet, are the greatest pastry chef in the world. They combine eight elements: appetizer, soup, fish, meat, main course, salad, dessert, and beverage. They are made with universally recognized perfect ingredients and are rare delicacies sought after by countless gourmets.

Note: No one can resist the temptation of eating peaches.

Name: Phantom Object - Golden Core

Elements: [Spices], [Food Treasure], [Precious], [Rare]

Synopsis: This is a special spice made by Mr. Li Boyang, a national treasure of humankind. Legend has it that just smelling it can prolong life. However, without exceptional culinary skills, one cannot master this top-grade spice, so only the most skilled chefs can obtain it.

Note: Although it is a spice, the elixir is still the elixir.

Name: Phantom Object - Ruyi Stick

Elements: [Weapons], [Cooking Utensils], [Transformation], [Ruyi], [Pastry Stick]

Synopsis: The cooking utensils that Sun Wukong, the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, won from the Dragon Gate Noodle Competition were crafted by Master Xia Yu. When used for pastry making, they allow for far more delicate operations than hands. In Sun Wukong's hands, they are also a powerful weapon capable of suppressing all heroes under heaven.

Note: Since it's called Ruyi Stick, it's reasonable that its size can be customized and its shape can change as desired.

"Tsk, the Somersault Cloud didn't turn into Phantom Object? Is it because I haven't shown it to ordinary people?"

Feng Xue looked at the Trait and a slight smile appeared on his lips. Although he couldn't compare to Sun Wukong in the real mythological world, he took it in stride. After all, even in the real mythological world, with his limited abilities, he might not be able to make it big.

Not to mention that the Supernatural Tale Itself is not important; the power they possess is what matters most.

The Trait for "[Great Sage, Equal to Heaven - Sun Wukong]" not only possesses the miraculous power of "[cooking]" as Single Character Authority, but the power of "[Subdue the Superior]" alone is full of powerful beauty.

Because its "upper" and "lower" are not a fixed concept. That is to say, as long as he is weaker than his opponent in any aspect, whether it is height, weight, status, age, seniority, etc., as long as he is weaker, he can be "lower" and then he can launch a special attack on "upper".

As for the "add-on" [Seventy-two Faces], it gave him a little surprise after it Supernaturalized.

Although it is essentially just a Chef Skill that can transform ingredients in countless ways, it also possesses certain martial arts characteristics because Chef Skill in this world inherently have the features of martial arts.

In other words, this thing can be linked with his [Martial].

The Seventy-two Faces possesses the characteristic of "ever-changing," capable of incorporating all techniques. Therefore, all martial arts techniques in Feng Xue's hands can be incorporated into it, achieving power. Furthermore, her own [Martial] power can transform everything into martial arts insights. Thus, the techniques transformed into the Seventy-two Faces Chef Skill can be transformed back into corresponding martial arts.

It may seem like just going in circles, but the meaning is quite different, because it inherently means that he can grant martial arts a higher priority.

If only a few martial arts techniques, when enhanced by secret manuals, could acquire Weird Tale characteristics, then now, all of his martial arts techniques can be used as powers.

And his initial goal had already been achieved.

After obtaining this Weird Tale Sun Wukong's strange occurrences, he was finally no longer worried about encountering the Monkey!

This might sound a bit abstract, but to put it simply, before he gained the power of the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, if he encountered Monkey, he could only hide under a table or get beaten up.

Now, even if he encountered the real Sun Wukong, it would at most be a game of "The True and True and False Monkey King," and because of the power of the Weird Tale, he could even directly obtain power from the story of "The True and False Monkey Kings" that was exactly the same as that of the real Sun Wukong.

Just as Feng Xue was admiring her new Trait, a somewhat jarring voice suddenly rang out—

"Amitabha, every country has its laws, and every family has its rules. Even if you truly win first place at the Peach Banquet, your actions have still violated the law..."

"So you're going to sentence me to five hundred years?"
