Above the sea of clouds.
The moonlight was bright, and in the middle of the round disk-like moon, there seemed to be a black spot moving rapidly.
After a few breaths, when it got closer, it was like a supersonic jet flying past in front of us, the wind whistling, and it was as fast as lightning.
It was actually a huge lizard-like dragon.
Its dragon body was very long, not the slightest bit obese, with four large bat wings on its back, and a head with squid-like tentacles.
The cold,幽幽 scales covering its body seemed harder than any metal.
Even the most advanced fighter jets in the Gourmet Age could not break through its defenses.
【Asura Dragon (Human World Variant)】
【Capture Level: 58】
However.
Such a powerful Asura Dragon from the Human World, was actually someone else's mount.
A tall man, clad in ferocious armor and wearing a steel mask, stood atop the dragon's head.
He had thick, disheveled hair like a waterfall, a muscular frame, like a black iron tower, radiating a powerful aura constantly.
And beside this man, a few steps behind, stood Nakamura Thistle.
Facing him, Nakamura Thistle bowed respectfully and called out, "Lord Stach."
Stach!
Vice Head Chef of the Gourmet Corp.!!
Stach asked expressionlessly, "You were going to fight someone just now?"
"Dare not."
"It's just that the other party was a bit ignorant and grabbed my wrist."
Nakamura Thistle's face was pale. He took off his black gloves and rolled up his suit sleeve, revealing that his wrist had turned purple, and there were deep indentations left by five fingers.
Compared to his palm and arm, his wrist was like an apple that had been gnawed down to its core.
"That stinky brat, he has a really strong grip."
Stach glanced sideways at Nakamura Thistle, his gaze fixed on his wrist, his tone devoid of any fluctuation, "It's just that you're too weak."
"Right, you weren't discovered by the other party, right?"
Nakamura Thistle endured the pain in his wrist, put his gloves back on, and replied firmly, "It's impossible to discover. He only knows I'm the father of Erina Nakiri, but he doesn't know I'm a member of the Gourmet Corp."
"That's good."
"The main task now is to take down Totsuki Academy and let you become the headmaster, so you can cultivate a large number of high-quality chefs for Lord Sanhu."
"As for that little girl, don't worry about her for now."
"A mere chef is not enough to satisfy Lord Sanhu's empty, hungry ocean of a stomach!"
Stach looked ahead, his thick, disheveled hair flying in the wind.
Nakamura Thistle was still a little reluctant, but in the face of Stach's authority, he could only nod in agreement.
"Act quickly."
"In fact, other senior cadres in the Gourmet Corp. don't agree with this plan. They think that it's better to directly capture chefs with high culinary skills in the Human World than to cultivate students who are not yet mature."
"If you fail, I'll have no choice but to give up on you."
Stach said this, seeming a little troubled as he scratched his head with his finger.
Nakamura Thistle's eyes were gloomy and he didn't retort.
"Alright, we've reached your residence, get off."
The Asura Dragon folded its four wings, made a dive, and lowered its altitude through the endless sea of clouds.
When Nakamura Thistle saw that they were close to the ground, he leaped off, bid farewell respectfully to Stach who stood atop the Asura Dragon, and then returned to his house alone.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
"A bunch of dogs looking down on people!!"
Nakamura Thistle closed the door, immediately clenched his fist, and punched the wall.
"I won't give up, the headmaster position, the position of Head Chef of the Gourmet Corp., they all belong to me!"
Nakamura Thistle murmured with resentment and anger.
"Gurgling"
At this moment.
As if his blood had rushed to his head, the blood in his veins began to flow faster.
He didn't know when, the hidden acupoint pressure that had been lurking within Nakamura Thistle finally erupted, like dozens of blue and white needles, following the boiling blood, stabbing towards his heart.
麻醉钻拳 (Anesthetizing Drill Fist)!
Timed Anesthesia!
Suddenly.
Nakamura Thistle's heart constricted, dozens of acupoint pressure needles pierced into his atrium and ventricle, emitting streaks of intense current, paralyzing his entire heart.
Cardiac arrest!!
"It... it was that kid..."
Nakamura Thistle's pupils contracted violently, his originally sinister gaze turned gray, slowly losing its color, and his body collapsed to the ground.
Betrayed and abandoned, no one even bothered to collect his body.
...
...
Totsuki Academy, Dormitory Area.
A manor villa.
Mito Ikumi and Shinohara Hisako brought out delicious dishes they had prepared, placing them on the dining table.
"Dinner's ready~"
"Yam and Pork Bone Soup!"
"Rock Plate Rhinoceros Ham Platter!"
"Vegetable and Ham Fried Rice!"
"Rock Plate Grilled Marbling Beef Cubes!"
"So lavish."
Hong Yi sat at the table, eating with Erina Nakiri, Mito Ikumi, and Shinohara Hisako, while activating the Devouring the Stars Technique, refining the life essence contained in the Rock Plate Rhinoceros.
After Mito Ikumi, Erina Nakiri also learned how to channel.
The two girls' appetites had obviously increased.
They finished off an entire Rock Plate Rhinoceros for dinner.
These delicacies were equivalent to Wood-type Crystal.
Eat them, refine them.
They can accelerate cultivation!
For example, Mito Ikumi had been cultivating for a few days earlier than Erina Nakiri, and now her realm was already at the Intermediate Warrior level, with a punch force of 2000KG and a speed of 40m/s, equivalent to a Bronze-level Gourmet Hunter, who could capture level 5 ingredients.
While Hong Yi was eating the Rock Plate Rhinoceros, the template of Yujiro Hanma was also accelerating its fusion.
The progress bar now was 80%.
"Right."
Hong Yi took out a train ticket from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"I passed the Acupoint Anesthesia class at the Hunter Branch Academy and got a chance to go to the Cave Beach with Jiro to capture the Pufferfish Whale. Who wants to come with me?"
He had gone to the second floor to find Erina Nakiri just now, and almost forgot about this.
"Pufferfish Whale, a dreamy food treasure, capture level 29!"
"These days I've been watching Gourmet TV News, and it seems they reported that the Pufferfish Whale has reached its spawning season. Thousands upon thousands of Gourmet Hunters are swarming in, a sight to behold."
"Unfortunately, the terrain of Cave Beach is too complex, only one in a hundred Gourmet Hunters can successfully reach the Pufferfish Whale's spawning grounds, not to mention the various dangers along the way."
Mito Ikumi, Erina Nakiri, and Shinohara Hisako, seeing the train ticket on the table, immediately had yearning expressions in their eyes.
"Ah~ah~!"
"Although the Pufferfish Whale is good, it's fish cuisine, and I specialize in meat cuisine. Can't help it, can't help it."
Mito Ikumi said with an air of nonchalance, her hands clasped behind her head.
Shinohara Hisako said, "I specialize in medicinal food, and I'm not Hong Yi's official partner either, so I won't go."
"Miss, you go."
Secretary-kun looked at Erina Nakiri.
"I..."
Erina Nakiri's cheeks flushed slightly. She picked up the Gourmet Train ticket on the table and said happily, "If that's the case, I won't be polite then~!"

...
The illustration is actually not an Asura Dragon, I don't know what it's called. Also, I don't know which chapter the picture of the Asura Dragon from the Gourmet World is from, and I haven't found it.
