Growth Level: Dragon Fish

Species Level: Advanced Extraordinary

Growth Level: Level 11

Introduction: A vicious fish species that contains an extremely weak Dragon's Bloodline.

Dragon Fish are enormous creatures with sleek, streamlined bodies, sharp teeth in front of their jaws, and serrated teeth behind.

Due to a trace of the Dragon's Bloodline, they possess extremely formidable combat power, and even out of water, they can still thrash with tremendous impact.

The massive red Dragon Fish was speared by Lu Ran and Mr. Husky. Lu Ran gave it a glance and then shook his head.

"Such a weak one, the fish meat is only of high quality at best. Next one, next one."

Crack.

Mr. Husky controlled the Icy Sky Great Sword, shattering the ice. Before the Dragon Fish could react, Mr. Husky swung the Ice Sword and chopped it up swiftly.

Lu Ran collected the fish meat and then directed Mr. Husky to continue spearing fish…

Wrapped in sky-blue Wind Attribute Energy, Mr. Husky controlled the energy and wielded the Icy Sky Great Sword. It's fortunate the lake wasn't deep, otherwise, Mr. Husky would have had trouble spearing any fish.

The maximum distance he could control with the released energy was only about 50 meters; anything beyond that would be strenuous for him.

Splash!

"Woof!"

In a moment, Mr. Husky speared another Dragon Fish, but unfortunately, it was only Level 9; the meat quality might even be worse than the previous one.

"..."

"What are they trying to do?" At this point, the three examiners were rather silent.

Dragon Fish Meat was already among the top ingredients within the high-quality resource category.

Having obtained Dragon Fish, wasn't Lu Ran satisfied yet?

It was just a special-level assessment, there was no need to pursue perfection like this…

However, the examiners were increasingly amazed at Mr. Husky's strength.

They wondered how Lu Ran had trained him.

Reaching to the depths where the Dragon Fish dwelled, this dog, by releasing energy and controlling it without visibility, managed to spear with such precision.

How did he manage that?

It's as if the sword grew eyes.

What they didn't know was that Mr. Husky had fused with the Weapon Control Trait, making the Icy Sky Great Sword akin to a part of his body, as intuitive as his nose, his eyes, and his limbs.

Once a part of his body entered the water, it wasn't completely without sensation—it was indeed as if it had eyes.

The King of Swords title was just a Racial Talent brought by the Attribute. The ability he was displaying now was the basic ability of the Weapon Control Trait.

Now, Mr. Husky was like extending his nose and eyes, stretching out his paws into the lake to fish.

Of course, the Pet Beast's ability to control weapons was developed more than two thousand years later in the Beast Training Empire by a group of top Beast Trainers, and Beast Trainers of this era certainly couldn't comprehend it.

Next…

Lu Ran and Mr. Husky started their lengthy fishing endeavor. Since they had plenty of time, they chose to fish slowly. Dragon Fish Lake was vast, and Lu Ran was convinced he would encounter a higher quality one at some point.

...

While Lu Ran was striving, some examiners had already collected some common and advanced ingredients nearby and started cooking.

A special-level cuisine didn't require exceptionally high-quality ingredients; it was achievable through superb culinary skills combined with ordinary ingredients, not as strict as World's Rare dishes that demanded both Cooking Intent and World's Rare ingredients.

As some examiners returned, and it was confirmed that Lu Ran had considerable self-protective strength, the three examiners no longer focused on him, instead, they turned their observation to the other candidates on site.

One of the candidates collected a bunch of colorful poisonous mushrooms and caught a wild chicken, muttering to themselves, "Although they're all poisonous mushrooms, as long as I use my Firework Skills to remove the toxins, I can enhance their flavor... This dish, Phoenix Mushroom Soup, will definitely pass the assessment."

Another candidate hunted a Tusk Pig and a beehive, aiming to impress with a superb roasted pork with honey by utilizing excellent Firework Skills…

Then there were candidates who caught a bunch of exotic bugs, planning to serve the examiners a fried insect feast.

It must be said, being an examiner is quite a technical job.

With time passing, soon, the first examiner finished their dish and confidently presented it to the three examiners.

"Please, examiners, my dish, the Exploding Flame Kidney!"

The examiners looked at the plate. In it, the delicately prepared kidney was paired with tri-color peppers forming an artistic vision, complemented by rising steam, a feast for both eyes and nose.

They then looked at the candidate who had a Flame Sparrow beside them, where the female examiner said: n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Good cutting skills, and the fire seems just right..."

The hefty examiner took a bite, placed it in his mouth, experiencing hotness, spiciness, numbing... Multiple sensations filled his mouth. But the next second, he frowned and looked at the candidate, saying, "The kidney's gaminess... There's still some left."

"Oh, that... I retained some of the original flavor of the pig kidney. I believe that keeping some gaminess is part of the charm of kidney meat."

"Was it intentional or an accident?" asked the hefty examiner.

"It was intentional," the candidate confidently replied. In their place, the guests liked that flavor.

"..." One after another, the candidates' dishes underwent the judgment of the three examiners.

Most of the candidates' dishes were approved by the examiners. A few, however, seemed to be indulging in their own fantasies.

In the blink of an eye, four hours passed, and most candidates had finished hunting, leaving only a few still searching for suitable ingredients.

"Hey—look at that—"

Suddenly, an examiner at the scene cried out loudly, pointing in one direction.
