Chapter 370

Perhaps feeling that returning to the Dark Culinary Realm this time would be very dangerous, besides leaving the inheritance of her husband's family—the techniques and secret skills of the Seven-Star Knife, Lei En—to Shengzai, Shengzai's mother even left behind the secret skills and inheritance of her own maiden family.

The inheritance of Shengzai's mother's ancestor, Yi Zhang Qing—Xiang En, had only Shengzai's mother and her older brother left in their generation.

But because her brother was involved in the turmoil of the Dark Culinary Realm, his life or death had long been unknown. Normally, these culinary families with long-standing inheritances would not casually teach their own culinary skills and inheritance to others.

Even though Shengzai's father and mother were husband and wife, although they would exchange culinary skills, they wouldn't pry into each other's family inheritance.

But now the situation was different; she was the only descendant of Yi Zhang Qing—Xiang En left. If even she met with an accident, the inheritance would truly be lost.

So, after thinking for a long time, when Shengzai's mother left, she still left behind the inheritance of Yi Zhang Qing—Xiang En, including secret skills like "Seven-Star Army-Breaking Swift Cut" and "Tongue Taste Fatigue."

After reading his mother's full letter, Shengzai let out a long sigh and was deeply shocked.

He suspected that he had transmigrated into a fake Food Wars world. Cooking God Liu Angxing? The Dark Culinary Realm? Seven-Star Knife Lei En? Yi Zhang Qing Xiang En... aren't these all characters from 'Cooking Master Boy'!

The background of 'Cooking Master Boy' should be the late Qing Dynasty; the timing could match up, but what the hell is this about his family being descendants of the Dark Culinary Realm?

Things like "Seven-Star Instant-Breaking Knife Dance," "Arhat Crystal Slash," and "Fierce Bull Green Dragon Slash" all sound incredibly awesome, but with his level of knife skills, he couldn't perform them at all.

As for his talent, if he really wanted to learn these awesome secret skills, he would probably be old and decrepit by the time he mastered them, right?

Shengzai's mother naturally knew Shengzai's talent, so the bigger reason for leaving these secret skills was probably that she didn't want these inheritances to be lost.

After all, although her only son's talent was a bit weak, who could guarantee that his future children wouldn't be culinary geniuses?

After returning to the original world from the so-called "Heart's Domain," Shengzai bid farewell to the red-haired boy in front of him who was still trying to stuff dried squid into his mouth, and then hurriedly ran back to his own kitchen.

After hesitating for a while, Shengzai took a red sea bream out of the freezer and then unfolded the set of Seven-Star Knives his mother had left him.

With a slap of his palm on the table, the several-jin-heavy red sea bream bounced into the air due to the rebound force from the table. Almost at the moment the fish flew into the air, Shengzai pulled out two of the Seven-Star Knives at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

The thin knife sliced open the fish belly, the stiletto picked out the fish bones, and the short knife thinly sliced the fish meat. With a dazzling display of operations, by the time the whole red sea bream fell back down, it had already formed slices of fish sashimi as thin as cicada wings on the plate.

And what Shengzai had just used was the secret skill of Seven-Star Knife Lei En—Seven-Star Instant-Breaking Knife Dance!

Ever since he got the Seven-Star Knives and the accompanying secret skills, Shengzai had been constantly trying to learn them.

However, it was a pity that although he wasted a large amount of ingredients, Shengzai had never been able to master such awesome knife skills and techniques.

But after reaching the "Heart's Domain" and sharing the power of Shengzais from other worlds, the current Shengzai succeeded on his very first attempt!

This wasn't to say that the Shengzais from other worlds had the talent to be chefs, but rather the accumulation of learning from others' strengths.

The reason he couldn't perform the knife skills of Lei En and Xiang En before was mostly because he couldn't reach their speed and technique.

Honestly speaking, making sashimi is the ultimate test of knife skills and speed. For an ordinary person to cut sashimi that is both delicate and fast, with appropriate thickness and uniformity in every slice, is not a simple task.

As for the experience of being a chef, the version of himself in this world didn't lack it. After all, he had a mother with outstanding culinary skills, and like Yukihira Soma next door, he had almost grown up in the kitchen.

But to use the techniques mastered by Lei En and Xiang En, besides experience, almost superhuman physical fitness and technique were the top priorities!

He used to be just an ordinary high school student at best. Could an ordinary person slash dozens of times in a few seconds, and accurately spot the best edible parts of the fish meat, and cut them precisely and evenly?

Honestly, just a month ago, he, Shengzai, even felt that these secret skills left by his mother were simply not something humans could master.

But for the current Shengzai who shared the power of other worlds, he suddenly felt that as long as he was given a certain amount of time, mastering these techniques shouldn't be a problem.

The eyesight provided by Prince of Tennis Shengzai could be called the "Eye of God" in this world, capable of accurately distinguishing the best edible parts of ingredients.

The sword techniques provided by Sword and Blade Shengzai, because all paths lead to the same destination, directly transformed Shengzai's barely passable knife skills into master-level.

Of course, more importantly, it was the improvement in physical fitness and strength. The current Shengzai could not only slash dozens of times in an instant, but could also easily toss a heavy iron wok weighing over ten jin as if it were nothing.

As for heat control, because of the fire-type ability of Digimon Shengzai, he could now also freely control and grasp it.

Although the power of Shengzais from other worlds didn't have much connection to culinary arts, it was just like how any technique in the Prince of Tennis world could be used to play tennis.

In this world where cooking is mainstream, the power Shengzai gained from himself in other worlds could also be applied to cooking.

Of course, to become familiar with the power he had gained and apply it all to cooking, it also required a certain amount of training and a break-in period, and for this, Shengzai had directly closed the shop for a full week.

"The restaurant of Aunt Wenren classmate isn't open today either. Does Yukihira classmate know what happened?"

A girl wearing a blue sailor suit with short black hair, holding a school bag, looked at the Aunt Wenren restaurant with a 'temporarily closed' sign in front of her, and looked at Yukihira Soma beside her with a worried expression.

The girl's name was Kurase, a classmate of Shengzai and Soma at high school. Because she had a secret crush on Shengzai, she would go to Shengzai's restaurant for meals every day.

Honestly speaking, ever since Shengzai's mother returned to her hometown and the restaurant was officially inherited and managed by Shengzai, the business in the shop could simply be described as declining.

You have to know that there are only two restaurants on this whole street, and there is actually a reason for that.

Although the Yukihira restaurant of the Yukihira family is just an ordinary family restaurant, Soma's father, Yukihira Joichiro, is a very formidable chef.

Restaurants that used to open on this street all closed down one after another because of Yukihira Joichiro's culinary skills.

And the only one that could compete for business with the Yukihira restaurant on this street, and even have a higher turnover most of the time, was Shengzai's restaurant.
