Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

Ten minutes later, the Big Eater Arena.

The stands were packed with people, and even the aisles were crowded.

Not only ordinary diners, but even some gourmets who usually stay at home all showed up, eager to witness this ultimate showdown.

Iron Bull, Bella, and the old man sat in the front row, their expressions solemn.

"Xiao Yun and his group just used up a lot of resources at the auction and haven't fully recovered yet. It's too risky for them to accept the challenge now."

Bella bit her lip, her eyes filled with worry.

Tie Niu shook his head and sighed softly:

"There's no way around it. Osborne and the others seized this opportunity to deliberately provoke him. If Xiao Yun doesn't accept the challenge, he'll lose momentum and it will be even harder for him to gain a foothold in the arena in the future."

The old man was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"Those four young people don't seem to be acting impulsively. That Xiao Yun, from the moment he entered the dungeon, has been very steady in every step he's taken. He doesn't seem like someone who would be led by the nose."

Tie Niu and Bella exchanged a glance, and their worries lessened somewhat.

On the ring, both sides were already in position.

Xiao Yun, Ji Mingyu, Wang Tianyuan, and Zhong Mo stood in a row.

Opposite them stood Osborne, Charlie, and Kurosawa, while behind them was an ordinary five-star diner, trembling under the terrifying aura of both sides.

Wang Tianyuan raised an eyebrow and chuckled, saying:

"Hey, didn't we agree it was three against four? Why did you bring in another one? Losing confidence?"

"If you feel you can't win, just admit defeat. Why resort to such petty tricks?"

Osborne smiled and asked in return:

"This person is just serving us food, and he's just an ordinary customer. What, are you scared?"

Xiao Yun remained calm and said indifferently:

"Let's begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Osborne and his two companions immediately began cooking.

Their movements were skillful and their teamwork was excellent, clearly indicating that this was not their first time working together.

Moreover, their ingredients were quite unexpected.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Osborne grabbed his fourth teammate and placed him on the cutting board.

"Go in peace, I'll take good care of your girlfriend."

After saying that, he brandished the knife in his hand.

Blood splattered everywhere, and under the rules of the Eternal Feast Court, this diner quickly became food.

But this is not the end.

"Referee, our team is down a player; we request a replacement!"

Osborne growled, his eyes flashing with madness.

The fat pig in the suit grinned and shouted:

"Can!"

And so, one by one, the fresh ingredients that Osborne had prepared were brought out.

The other two also got to work, revealing all their [Ultimate Delicacies] and starting to cook with great passion.

In the audience, everyone gasped:

"Holy crap! Osborn and his gang are ruthless!"

"Don't be surprised by what you see. No man is without poison. Besides, in the Eternal Feast Court, everything is food."

"Come on, big brother! We can't let these vicious guys win!"

Some people cheered for Xiao Yun and his group, but many more watched coldly, some even showing expressions of interest.

"Oh no, Xiao Yun and his team... are probably going to have a hard time winning now."

Tie Niu's face turned ashen, and Bella's face turned even paler as she ran to the side and vomited violently.

On the arena, Xiao Yun and his companions' expressions instantly turned grim.

"I knew these people had no bottom line, but I never imagined they had this much!"

Using such vicious methods, the food cooked would be quite horrifying.

Just looking at all this is enough to drive anyone crazy! Not to mention having to eat it all in the end.

"These guys calculated that we didn't have enough 'Exquisite Delicacies' and our ingredients were mediocre, so they planned to defeat us in the first round of tasting. They're truly vicious!"

Ji Mingyu's expression darkened slightly:

"We can't let them lead us by the nose!"

A resolute glint flashed in Xiao Yun's eyes:

"A swift and decisive victory is needed to defeat them and prevent them from consuming these bizarre foods!"

The other three nodded and quickly began cooking.

In the audience, many people looked on with anticipation, speculating about how Xiao Yun and his group would respond.

"I think it must be a special chapter of 'The Ultimate Delight in Food,' and only a recipe of this caliber can handle this situation."

"It could also be a modified five-star recipe. Have you forgotten that Xiao Yun once used a modified recipe to defeat Tie Niu in one fell swoop?"

"If they truly crack the secret of the 'Original Flavor,' that would be great; it could even decide the outcome of the battle in one fell swoop!"

However, when Xiao Yun revealed the recipe in his hand, everyone was stunned.

"Holy crap! What the hell is fried rice with egg? You always use this trick, don't you?"

Across from them, Osborne and his two companions, who were passionately cooking, were also slightly taken aback.

They had also inquired about the battle between Xiao Yun and Tie Niu, and knew that Xiao Yun had a modified version of the "Golden Fried Rice".

However, Tie Niu's skill level was much lower than theirs, and that match lasted a long time. In the end, both sides' performance declined significantly. Even without the improved Golden Fried Rice, a single dish of "Exquisite Taste" would have been enough to determine the winner.

"So, they're planning to defeat us with a dish that barely reaches the level of 'exquisite taste'?"

Osborne and his two companions chuckled softly, even feeling that their preparations were a bit of an overreaction.

Osborne and his two companions chuckled softly, even feeling that their preparations were a bit of an overreaction.

"This level of stuff, let alone one, even a hundred of them would only be enough to fill a tooth gap."

Osborne shook his head, looking at the towering fire in Xiao Yun's stove, his eyes filled with even more contempt:

"Even with the blessing of [Exquisite Taste - Cooking Time], it's useless; it's all show and no substance."

But little did he know that, under the cover of the stove fire, a bizarre cooking process was unfolding.

Wang Tianyuan muttered incantations as he held a pot that resembled a watch face, looking more like he was cooking than wielding a ladle.

Xiao Yun remained expressionless, pulled out the tongue from the Gluttonous Mouth, chopped it finely, and threw it into the pot.

Ji Mingyu squatted on the ground, veins bulging on his face, and like he was defecating, tore off pieces of sticky darkness from behind and threw them into the flames.

Zhong Mo remained expressionless, frantically rubbing his hands together. He produced black mud balls from who-knows-where, then bit his fingertip and dripped drops of dark golden blood onto them, finally using them as seasonings to throw into the pot.

Soon, as the fire in the stove gradually died down, three plates of fried rice were slowly placed in front of Osborne and his two companions.

"Yellow...black gold fried rice, please."

Xiao Yun said calmly, but the corners of Osborn and the other two's mouths began to twitch wildly:

"What the hell is this black gold fried rice?! You've burned it!"

It seems that in order to finish before them, the heat was too high, causing the fried rice to look like it had been through World War II, covered with black spots and emitting a smoky, burnt smell.

Moreover, Osborne and his two companions, with their experience as gourmets, could tell at a glance that the side dishes and rice inside were even half-cooked!

"I'm saying, are you just trying to disgust us because you're about to die?"

Osborne frowned slightly, looking at the unidentified object in front of him, somewhat reluctant to take a bite.

However, the Palace of Eternal Feast could not waste food, so they had no choice but to eat.

"Good bastards, I admit you disgusted me."

"Just wait, once we finish eating this fried rice, it will be your death day!"

Osborne snorted, picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of fried rice, and put it in his mouth.

The next second, his expression changed.

The moment that fried rice entered my mouth, it felt like a nuclear bomb exploding inside me.

A terrifying energy explosion erupted, and Osborn's body swelled up like a balloon.

Then, as if deflated, he began to lose weight rapidly.

"No, impossible!"

Osborne screamed and knelt on the ground.

"What did you add?! What is this stuff?!"

Osborn roared, and Xiao Yun and the other three exchanged a strange look.

"It's a secret formula, and besides... you wouldn't want to know."

"you……"

Osborne let out a piercing scream like a drowning man, and then gradually lost consciousness.

Charlie and Kurosawa also fell to the ground, struggling frantically like wriggling maggots, before slowly stiffening.

The entire arena fell silent instantly.

Moments later, deafening cheers erupted.

"They won! They really won!"

"Incredible! A stunning comeback! An upset victory, absolutely brilliant!"

"What on earth is that fried rice? Even Osborn, the Seven Star Glutton, couldn't handle it!"

Tie Niu and Bella were so excited that they stood up and clapped enthusiastically.

"These guys are really unexpected..."

Tie Niu muttered to himself, his eyes filled with awe.

Xiao Yun smiled and looked at Ji Mingyu and the other two.

"Well done."

The three of them smiled at each other and high-fived in celebration.

Just then, the arena suddenly shook, as if it were fighting against something.

At the same time, a system suddenly popped up in front of the four people, with several pop-up windows flashing continuously.

[The contract is being forcibly revised due to the power of the instance.]

[Revision complete, contract in effect!]

A golden light descended from the sky and landed on the four people.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the Arena Challenge and earning the qualification to meet the final boss!]

"It worked!"

Xiao Yun's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.

"I never expected that this system, which is usually so unreliable, would actually be reliable sometimes."

Ji Mingyu exclaimed in surprise, his eyes flashing with a complex expression.

However, this also shows that the system that pulls everyone into Eternal Terra is ridiculously high in status.

"Don't think too much about it. Let's go back and rest first. Tomorrow, we'll start the boss battles one by one. We should be able to clear it quickly..."

Before he could finish speaking, the magnificent royal court in the center of the Eternal Feast Court trembled.

Three terrifying auras descended simultaneously.

A warm, spring-like atmosphere that makes people feel close to you.

A ferocious beast, terrifying to behold.

A cold, abyss-like place, making one feel as if they have fallen into an ice cave.

The three auras intertwined, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

Xiao Yun's face instantly turned extremely ugly as he stared intently at the blood-red pop-up window in front of him.

[You have been jointly invited by the Gluttonous King, the God of Food, and the King of Evil. Please attend the banquet at the Eternal Feast Court within 24 hours.]
