While they were in discussion, Nian Bing, escorted by the giant Fire Dragon, had already reached above the platform. Standing atop the dragon's head with his hands clasped behind him, he nodded towards Fat Man Hua, "I'm sorry. There were too many people outside so I had to use this method to come in."
Fat Man Hua, a man of experience, quickly recovered from his initial surprise and greeted Nian Bing with a smiling face. He said, "Turns out, you're not only a chef but also a powerful Mage. This is the first time I've seen such an unusual combination of professions. Since you're here, prepare for the competition."
Under Nian Bing's control, the Fire Dragon lowered its head to transport him directly onto the platform. The scorching airflow vanished entirely the moment Nian Bing set foot on the platform and the Fire Dragon disbanded into a shower of sparks. Nian Bing, a fair-haired man, didn't waste any more words and went straight to the last cooking station.
