Chapter 1269 Pa.s.ses the Test and Becomes a Saint!

The next moment, thunderclouds began to gather in the sky.

Bu Fang raised his head. Seeing the familiar thunderclouds, he remained unfazed. It had been a long time since he had seen such a sight. It was a pity that Whitey was still asleep and couldn’t help him resist the lightning punishment. Otherwise, its strength would surely grow enormously after devouring it.

The dishes Bu Fang previously cooked during the compet.i.tion were merely snacks, so they didn’t attract lightning punishment. However, this dish cooked for the Little Saint test was a complete dish and certainly not an ordinary one, so it would naturally attract lightning punishment. Both the ingredients and cooking techniques he used were top-notch, not to mention that he had put his heart into this dish.

The oppressive thundercloud kept expanding in the sky. Instead of looking at it, Bu Fang reached out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of snake meat, and put it in his mouth. The salty taste of salted pepper instantly spread in his mouth, while the warm taste of the meat seemed to wrap his tongue. It was accompanied by the impact of the meat’s spirit essence, making Bu Fang’s eyes suddenly light up.

He bit it gently and produced a clear and crisp crunching sound. When the snake meat was bit through, it emitted a puff of hot air. Its almost perfect taste gave Bu Fang a slight shudder. The smell of salted pepper tickled his taste buds and made him want to eat more, while the tender meat and the fragrant flavor made him unable to stop chewing.

Bu Fang nodded. He thought the dish was really good. He originally wanted to make snake broth, but now it seemed that this Spiced Salt Snake Meat was a much better choice. In fact, if he used the snake meat to make broth, the broth itself might taste good, but the meat would not be as good as the Spiced Salt Snake Meat. This was why, after much consideration, he chose to cook the Spiced Salt Snake Meat.

In the distance, the Dragon Heaven Realm expert’s eyes were already wide open. The aroma in the air made him gulp. It smelled too delicious. Moreover, just by looking at Bu Fang eating, he couldn’t help but want to try the dish as well.

Even the audience looking at the scene through the light screen was in an uproar.

“It looks delicious!”

“Is it true that this guy killed a one-star sacred beast just to satisfy his appet.i.te?”

“He’s indeed a chef! I can’t believe he killed a sacred beast to eat it!”

Everyone was shocked by Bu Fang’s behavior. They couldn’t understand why he did that. After all, he was in a compet.i.tion, and yet he actually had the leisure to find an ingredient and cook delicious food. This was simply insane.

Suddenly, the leaves in the distance rustled. The Dragon Heaven Realm expert, who was attracted by Bu Fang’s delicious food, got a fright and turned to look over with a wary look in his eyes.

In the shadow of the dense forest, a figure slowly appeared. With a slash, the wings behind the figure spread out. The white and holy wings were pleasant to look at.

A Winged Man Valley expert had arrived unexpectedly.

“How fragrant… If it weren’t for the smell, I really couldn’t find you…” The Winged Man Valley expert wore a white jade mask with a smile on his lips. His eyes were fixed on the Dragon Heaven Valley expert. After all, he was here to track down this guy.

“Hand over the jade plate in your hand… You and I are friendly neighbors. Why should we kill each other over a jade plate?” the winged man said with a gentle smile, his voice full of charm.

“Get lost! You hypocritical bird-man!” the Dragon Heaven Realm expert roared furiously.

Crunch!

Their conversation didn’t affect Bu Fang. He picked up another piece of snake meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

The Winged Man Valley expert also saw Bu Fang. There was a chilly look in his eyes as he said, “You’re here as well, little chef… and you’re still alive. It seems that they have failed and let you run away. However, you’re unlucky to meet me. You can’t escape this time.” After speaking, he folded up his wings.

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, there was a loud thunderclap in the sky. Both experts looked up at the sky covered by the dense canopy of leaves and branches, and their faces became somewhat strange.

The Winged Man Valley expert’s words didn’t affect Bu Fang’s mood at all, but the experts who saw the scene through the light screen thought it was amusing.

“Young man… this little chef didn’t run away…”

“He had slain your Winged Man Valley’s expert and also killed an Abyss expert…”

“I think I can already hear the wings of this Winged Man Valley expert being torn…”

Through the light screen, the audience could clearly see the activities of many contestants, but the contestants didn’t know what had already happened.

Bu Fang’s eyes narrowed as he put the last piece of snake meat in his mouth. He didn’t pay any attention to the Winged Man Valley expert.

At that moment, the System’s serious voice sounded in his mind.

‘Evaluating the dish for the Little Saint test… The evaluation is completed. The dish is of high-grade. Congratulations to the Host for pa.s.sing the Little Saint test.’

The System’s words made Bu Fang’s mouth twitch slightly. After so long, he finally completed the Little Saint test.

RUMBLE!

In the sky, the thundercloud began to churn, giving off a terrible sense of oppression that startled the Winged Man Valley expert and the Dragon Heaven Realm expert. Suddenly, there was a loud crash of thunder, and the whole forest seemed to be enveloped in a blinding light. The next moment, a deep blue thunderbolt burst down from the cloud and came cras.h.i.+ng down toward Bu Fang.

The Winged Man Valley expert was taken aback. “He’s facing a lightning punishment?!”

The audience who saw the scene through the light screen was also startled, and many Little Saints’ pupils constricted. They were no strangers to lightning punishment because they must face it to step into the Little Saint Realm from the True Immortal Realm. Moreover, the stronger a person was, the more powerful the lightning punishment he needed to transcend.

According to a person’s talent, lightning punishment could be divided into three, six, or nine thunderbolts, and each was more terrible than the previous one!

“This idiot actually chooses to face his lightning punishment here? After transcending the punishment, he will certainly become extremely weak. How can he resist me then?” The Winged Man Valley expert’s eyes were flas.h.i.+ng. Then, the wings behind him flapped, and in the next instant, he landed in the distance.

The Dragon Heaven Realm expert was close to despair. Bu Fang’s choice to face the lightning punishment now almost put himself in a hopeless situation!

Lightning punishment?

Bu Fang was also somewhat confused because he felt the thunderclap seemed odd. He wondered whether he was facing the dish’s lightning punishment or his Little Saint’s lightning punishment.

RUMBLE!

All of a sudden, the deep blue thunderbolt in the sky turned purple as if the lightning punishment had been compressed to the extreme, horrible to look at. If anyone saw the clouds above the dense forest at this moment, they would be shocked—there were actually two whirlpools in the thunderclouds.

The thunderbolts poured out of the cloud, gathered together, and turned into a purple thunder dragon, whose power seemed to shatter the void!

A purple thunder dragon?!

Everyone was dumbfounded. They had never seen such a thunderbolt before.

At the source of the Yellow Spring River…

Accompanied by a deep dragon roar, a sleeping behemoth suddenly raised its head. Its eyes were burning like two blood-colored candles, and the air blowing out of its nostrils seemed to be able to overturn mountains. It was staring at the whirlpools in the distance.

In a valley, a figure slowly floated into the air, holding a green plant and squinting into the distance.

…

Bu Fang stood where he was, his hair fluttering violently in the wind. His Vermilion Chef Robe had turned red because of the lightning punishment, and the flaming wings on his back had also spread out.

With the completion of the Little Saint test, his cultivation base also naturally stepped into the Little Saint Realm.

His eyes focused, while his thought entered his spirit sea. At this moment, his spirit sea had undergone tremendous changes. A whirlpool had appeared on the surface of the spirit sea. Mental force was constantly revolving in it, causing his aura to keep rising.

“Is this what gave the One-revolution Little Saint its name?” Bu Fang’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Suddenly, the divine will Phantom Spirit sitting cross-legged over the spirit sea turned into a beam of light and fell into the whirlpool. Energy was continuously pouring into it, gradually making its vague appearance clearer.

“The Little Saint Realm is divided into nine revolutions, so there will be a total of nine whirlpools…”

In the distance, the Vermilion Bird and the Golden Divine Dragon were also staring at the whirlpool, their eyes flas.h.i.+ng.

Their little host had finally reached the Little Saint Realm. However, as his strength continued to rise, the obstacles he would face next would become more and more terrible. They wondered if he could handle it.

Bu Fang opened his eyes and looked up. A gust of oppressive wind blew at him, making his hair flutter wildly.

The next moment, the thunder dragon descended, baring its teeth and brandis.h.i.+ng its claws. It seemed to tear apart the sky. Its purple light reflected in everyone’s eyes, making them gasp. Even then, the bandage on Bu Fang’s arm unrolled, revealing his Taotie Arm surrounded in Yin and Yang energies. Facing the thunder dragon that was coming at him, he threw out a punch with all his might.

“Crazy! He’s trying to resist such a powerful lightning punishment with his fles.h.!.+” The Winged Man Valley expert looked at Bu Fang as if he were looking at a fool. Even from afar, he could feel how terrifying the fluctuation and pressure from the thunder dragon was, and yet the little chef was going to fight it with his own flesh. If this kind of behavior was not crazy, what was? He was now waiting to see how the little chef would be blown to pieces by the lightning punishment!

BOOM!

A powerful blast swept out in all directions. Tiny lightning arcs stung the cheeks of both experts, while their pupils constricted at the same time. Soon, however, they gasped. They saw Bu Fang standing where he was, unscathed, looking as if he had blown the thunderbolt with a punch.

Bu Fang narrowed his eyes and felt a tingling sensation pa.s.s through his body. Surprisingly, when the two lightning punishments were mixed together, they actually strengthened his body. Perhaps this was the baptism of advancing to a higher realm.

BOOM! BOOM!

After that, thunderbolts came cras.h.i.+ng down one after another, but they were all destroyed by his fist.

One lightning punishment, two lightning punishments…

Everyone was stupefied, while Bu Fang was panting. He wished that he could have Whitey’s lightning-eating ability.

The third thunderbolt was not the end, though. When the sixth thunderbolt appeared, everyone was dumbfounded. However, it was still not the last one. Finally, when the ninth thunderbolt arrived, everyone was petrified.

A total of nine lightning punishments…

“How gifted this little chef is?! I think he can match the top geniuses of Nether Prison! No, even those top geniuses may not be able to attract nine lightning punishments when they become One-revolution Little Saints from half-step Saints!”

The light screen glowed blindingly, while the jaws of the audience in front of the screen were about to drop. Suddenly, the dazzling light faded away, and the scene was gradually revealed again.

Bu Fang dropped his hands at his sides, panting. Beads of sweat trickled down his face and fell to the ground.

In the distance, the Winged Man Valley expert and the Dragon Heaven Realm expert were stunned.

Suddenly, the Winged Man Valley expert squinted at Bu Fang as his aura exploded out. The next moment, the wings behind his back spread, then he turned into a white shadow and sped toward Bu Fang at full speed.

“After transcending nine lightning punishments, you must be extremely weak now… So it’s the best time to kill you!” The Winged Man Valley expert’s eyes filled with madness.

A genius who could transcend nine lightning punishments would be a nightmare for the Winged Man Valley if he was allowed to live! He must be killed!

Bu Fang felt very weak now. He had resisted the lightning punishments by his own strength, which was a lot of pressure for him. He was now so tired that he could hardly keep his eyes open. This kind of exhaustion was mental exhaustion.

The Winged Man Valley expert’s sudden attack woke everyone from their shock, and they all scolded him for being so despicable. The Dragon Heaven Realm expert clenched his jaws and unleashed his aura to stop him, but he was already badly injured and couldn’t do much. The next moment, he was knocked away by one blow, flying backward and coughing blood.

A slender sword appeared in the Winged Man Valley expert’s hand. He lifted it up and thrust it toward Bu Fang’s head. “Die now! So what if you transcended nine lightning punishments? No matter how talented you are, you will eventually die in my hands!” A cold laugh came bursting out of the expert’s mouth.

With his head bowed, Bu Fang raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the Winged Man Valley, who was approaching with monstrous killing intent. He let out a soft sigh.

“What an annoying fly… Goldie, come out and get some fresh air. Remember… rip off his wings for me.”
