This was a chance to go out with Hong Yi alone.
Just the two of them.
A date?
A thought popped into薙切绘里奈's mind.
Of course, her fantasy would soon be shattered.
The Gourmet Train was leaving tomorrow morning.
Before dinner that night, the doorbell of the villa rang again, startling薙切绘里奈.
However, Hong Yi knew that Nakamura薊 had been poisoned by his timed anesthesia. It was implanted when he grabbed Nakamura薊's wrist with his soft palm strength, making it difficult to detect.
But once it broke out, it would ignore the acupoints and directly anesthetize the heart, causing cardiac arrest.
He couldn't harass薙切绘里奈 again.
Sure enough.
A beautiful girl stood outside the villa, wearing round glasses and a pair of small blue pigtails.
The sixth seat of the Ten Masters of Totsuki—Kizuki Kokunin!
A master of Japanese cuisine, including tea ceremony and kaiseki!
Kizuki Kokunin was here to see Hong Yi.
She asked him to consider her first if he successfully caught the Pufferfish Whale and had any extra to sell.
After learning about it, Hong Yi learned that Kizuki Kokunin's family ran a five-star Japanese restaurant. Back then, it was the Pufferfish Whale sashimi that earned the unanimous praise of WGO's food critics and won the five-star rating.
To show her sincerity, Kizuki Kokunin had already deposited a 100 million yen deposit into Hong Yi's Gourmet Black Card and gave him a pot of ancestral plum sake from her family's store, as well as special whale-burned soy sauce and special wasabi paste (mustard).
All the best pairings for Pufferfish Whale sashimi.
Hong Yi knew that Kizuki Kokunin had voted in favor of his admission to the Ten Masters Council, so he had a good impression of her.
Plus, Kizuki Kokunin was sincere in her attitude, so he readily agreed.
Night.
Hong Yi continued to operate the Devouring the Stars Technique. The life essence stored in his body, mixed with the cosmic energy of heaven and earth, was like billions of light spots, frantically gathering towards his dantian.
The genetic primordial energy in his dantian rotated and gathered, slowly condensing.
It looked more and more like a dazzling nebula made of stardust.
During the cultivation process.
The template fusion progress bar, which only had a little left, began to increase rapidly.
【85%……89%……93%……】
“Boom!”
Hong Yi's body shook.
His cultivation had broken through.
The realm of Junior War God.
【100%!】
【Congratulations, host, you have successfully perfectly fused the Yujiro Hanma template!】
As the system prompt sounded, Hong Yi's body trembled again. His muscles around his body rhythmically trembled. Sixty trillion cells were like parched sponges, frantically absorbing the cosmic energy floating in heaven and earth.
Another breakthrough!
Intermediate War God!
Senior War God!
Hong Yi abruptly opened his eyes, a flash of cold electricity swept past, as if illuminating the dim bedroom.
“Finally a War God... And it's a breakthrough from accumulation, all the way to Senior War God. I'm only one step away from Planetary level.”
“System, attribute panel.”
Hong Yi called out in his heart.
【Host: Hong Yi】
【Title: Strongest Creature on Earth】
【Realm: Senior War God】
【Strength: 45000 (256,000 KG per punch)】
【Constitution: 45000 (Physical defense surpasses diamond, comparable to 10CM of super alloy steel plate. Even fighter jet missiles can't harm it)】
【Speed: 39000 (600m/s)】
【Spirit: 120】
(Note: The average basic attribute value for ordinary adult males is 10 points.)
【Skills: Intimidation, Devil Back, Fist Intent, Anesthesia/Acupoint Pressure】
【Evaluation: The genetic primordial energy accumulated in your dantian is like a nebula rotating and circling, entering the stage of condensing a star core. Your body's heat energy storage limit has broken through to 10 million kilocalories. Your strength has greatly increased and you are now comparable to a Diamond Gourmet Hunter. You can independently hunt and capture ingredients at Level 50.】
Hong Yi took a deep breath.
Diamond Gourmet Hunter.
He was already a strong person in the human world, comparable in strength to the current Four Heavenly Kings of Gourmet. He would be treated as a guest of honor in any force or country.
“Just a Diamond Gourmet Hunter, Gourmet's a bit perverted, especially the Gourmet World. A Diamond Gourmet Hunter doesn't even qualify to enter.”
According to his deduction, to enter the Gourmet World, he would need to be at least Planetary Level 4 or 5.
If he wanted to fight against the Eight Kings of the Gourmet World, he would probably need the strength of a Stellar Level!
As for capturing the Eight Kings, GOD, and even defeating Acacia, he would probably have to break through to the Cosmic Level.
Fortunately, there are many delicious foods on this planet, accumulated over hundreds of millions of years. They have also given birth to countless ingredients comparable to the Wood Spirit Crystal, and even surpassing the Wood Spirit Crystal.
So he shouldn't worry too much about cultivating and advancing.
Hong Yi let out a long sigh, exhaling like a dragon.
His originally excited and high-spirited emotions immediately calmed down, without any inflation or pride.
He closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.
……
The next day.
A train pulled by two giant horses slowly stopped at the entrance of Totsuki Academy.
Although these two giant horses weren't as exaggerated as the Dharma Horses Zebra borrowed from the Demon World, they were still quite tall, 23 meters long and 20 meters high.
They could cause earthquakes, "Rumble, rumble," as they walked through the streets of the city.
【Cloud Sky Pegasus】
【Capture Level: 49】
【Iron Rail Horse】
【Capture Level: 38】
The Cloud Sky Pegasus has wings on its back and can control the air flow nearby, allowing objects to float for a short period of time.
The Iron Rail Horse will leave a short track wherever its hooves step, for the train to travel on.
With these two giant horses pulling the train, the Gourmet Train can basically pass anywhere.
“Woo woo woo~”
“Totsuki Academy has arrived. The stop time is 30 minutes.”
As the loud whistle blew, the conductor made an announcement through the broadcast.
“This is the Gourmet Train.”
“Wow, I'm learning something new.”
“I heard there are many delicacies from all over the world on the Gourmet Train.”
“I just want to try riding it.”
“Forget it, the tickets are expensive, not to mention, do you have the time and energy?”
“I heard that a few students from the Hunter Division can ride the Gourmet Train to the Cave Beach and meet the legendary Anesthesia Master to capture the Pufferfish Whale.”
“Riding the Gourmet Train, meeting the Anesthesia Master, capturing the Pufferfish Whale, wow, I'm so envious.”
“Why didn't I know about this good thing?”
“Forget it, even if you knew in advance, it's no use. There are only a few spots for those who get an S grade in the Acupoint Anesthesia class. I heard that out of hundreds of students, only three people succeeded.”
