Chapter 963: This Mortal Is Going to Be Struck to Death by Lightning Punishment?

Translator: Zenobys, CatatoPatch

What’s that sound?

In the special grade chef test room, people were looking around with dumbstruck faces.

That echoing, ear-piercing noise sounded like a thunderclap in the clear sky, that’s why they were shaken. It seemed pretty similar to the legendary lightning punishment.

But… how could they hear the lightning punishment now?

This room was for the special grade chef test, not the Immortal Chef test, so how could they hear a thunderclap?

Their eyes scanned over, seeing Bu Fang standing in the middle of the square. The Buddha Jumps Over The Wall jar in front of him emitted a glow, and the Buddha’s smiling face released gold radiance, which was so dazzling.

But that wasn’t the important thing.

The three judges had already stood up from their seats. They turned to listen. Soon, they heard the booming sounds of the lightning punishment in the sky.

“It’s a lightning punishment! Is it from the Immortal Chef test next door?” The female judge with vivid red fingernails touched her red lips in surprise.

“Maybe it’s a coincidence? Did the Immortal Chef’s dish and that mortal’s dish appear at the same time?”

“Perhaps… It could be possible. Otherwise, how could we explain that?”

The judges clamored. However, no matter what, it wasn’t a bad event that the lightning punishment appeared here.

In the audience, Mu Liuer gaped, her eyes disbelieving.

“Lightning punishment? A lightning punishment appears here in the special grade chef test? Is it because of the Immortal Chef test next door?” Mu Liuer thought as only that explanation sounded reasonable.

After realizing that the Immortal Chef test was taking place next door, the others gradually calmed down.

Everyone’s shocked face slowly returned to their sneering expression.

“Yeah, right. How could a mortal trigger lightning punishment with his food?”

“Only Immortal Chefs could trigger lightning punishment. It’s a dish that could have immortal energy… It also means the chef has become an Immortal Chef.”

“Don’t tell jokes. A mortal can’t become an Immortal Chef!”

The audience discussed loudly. Some were astonished while some were laughing in disdain. After all, they knew that Bu Fang wasn’t the one who had triggered the lightning punishment. The Immortal Chef next door had done that.

Bu Fang lifted his head, frowning. He hadn’t thought that he could trigger a lightning punishment.

Indeed, using better cooking ingredients to cook the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall could increase the dish’s quality.

Bu Fang gently exhaled. He didn’t move. If a lightning punishment appeared, he needed to get over it to complete his dish.

To the others’ insults and disdain, he didn’t even bat an eye. Why should he? He just took this test to be qualified to open a restaurant here.

Anyway, he didn’t know why the audience was laughing at him.

At this moment, the diffusing aroma of the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall was enough to intoxicate people. So, those people weren’t affected by that aroma?

“Young man, your dish should be done by now, right? What is it called? Buddha Jumps Down The Wall? Quick, bring it here,” one of the judges said.

However, Bu Fang indifferently looked at him and shook his head, which was beyond that judge’s expectation.

“Wait a minute… It’s not done yet. It needs more time to ferment the mood.”

Ferment the mood… People around didn’t know whether they should cry or smile. A dish needed time to ferment its mood?

However, at this moment…

The door squeaked open.

The squeaking noise was loud enough that it made people move their eyes to the two figures walking through the door.

Seeing the two, they became bewildered.

“That’s Immortal Chef Tong Cheng! Why is he here?”

“It’s Lord Tong Cheng! Who’s with him? Looks familiar…”

“It’s Xuanyuan Xiahui, the one taking the Immortal Chef test next door… Oh f*ck, it seems we misunderstood?!”

“What the?! Xuanyuan Xiahui is supposed to take the Immortal Chef test, right? Why is he here? Did he finish his test?”

“So, what is that lightning punishment? Oh God…”

The audience had another uproar. The more they discussed, the more bewildered they became. It seems as though they had just seen real ghosts.

Since the first thunderclap echoed, Mu Liuer hadn’t closed her mouth yet.

She had thought that Xuanyuan Xiahui had triggered the lightning punishment from next door, but now, it was obviously not the case.
