Yet people were astonished. Didn't this Kyōto Television have reported numerous instances of dead flies found in the dishes? Full of doubt, the three top chefs, under Zhang Yuping's leadership, briefly outlined their respective cooking techniques and asserted that the Dream Zhu Hotel, in terms of standards, scale, and service quality, was entirely capable of producing such exquisite dishes. Nevertheless, skepticism remained. At that moment, Gao Liang quietly played a video clip on stage. "Wow! It's that rude chef's fault!" The crowd erupted in anger. Gao Liang beamed with a smile and, using his Juzheng Eye, spotted a person in the audience who was visibly shaken. Pointing at him, he said, "He came today—right here, right now." Chen Yuting, sharp-eyed, immediately shouted, "Gao Chef! Step forward! You've ruined our hotel's reputation! I won't rest until I settle this with you!" "You're a complete fool! We won't let you off!" "The high-level chef was 'invited' onto the stage by his three close friends, appearing utterly composed and at ease. Amidst the crowd's scorn, he quietly admitted with a soft sigh, 'I too received benefits from others to make this decision! I have elderly parents and young children to support—I didn't want to burden them!' 'Now, tell us—exactly who pressured you into doing this?' High Liang pressed. The chef hesitated to speak directly and instead whispered into High Liang's ear. Listening intently, High Liang clenched his fists and said, 'These two adversaries have no intention of letting me go—they won't stop at anything. But I won't be defeated by them! For I'm not afraid of losing, I'm not willing to lose—I will win!' He immediately grasped the Golden Fist tightly and raised it to his head. At that moment, many people shouted excitedly, 'Mr. High Liang! Mr. High Liang! We've finally recognized you! You are the founder of Yu Cheng Shen Industry Co., Ltd.—the true chairman! The outstanding student of Kyoto University!' To be honest, I've put on a bit of makeup today, added a mustache, but it didn't stick well—when the diamond fist made a strong effort, half of the fake mustache hung down, so the on-site audience immediately recognized my true face. High-light nodded and said, "Thank you all for your support and appreciation for our program! Since Dream Zhu Hotel has been unfairly treated, I'd like to personally thank all our national viewers—especially those who love abalone banquets—say to you: go ahead, enjoy it, and let your charm shine on the table! Come to Dream Zhu Hotel, and you'll surely find what you're looking for!" At that moment, the three beautiful women formed a circle, with High-light at the center—like stars being held up by the moon—so dazzling that many viewers were envious, especially Li Xiang, the young lord, whose face grew long with frustration. Honestly, how come all the beauties have gathered around him, and yet no one seems to notice his special qualities—just that so-called extraordinary ability? Hah! I didn't even make it all the way to the Cliff Mountain peak. I think I'm actually stronger than him! Hmph! I'd have killed you on the spot if there weren't so many people here—your constant competition for the spotlight, and the way you've completely ruined my carefully crafted plan to woo women! Dong Jiao, that rising star, the top female draw—she's been on my mind ever since I first saw her. Yet you, with hardly any effort, managed to win her over. Is it possible you have some secret talent that I don't possess? No, heh—he's going to be thoroughly crushed by me! As Li Xiang, a faint, sly smile played at the corner of his lips, he gradually gathered the five composite abilities—wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and light—within his palms and silently directed them toward High Light's broad chest. High Light, High Light—just one solid palm from me, and you'll be in for a world of trouble! "Master! Hurry up and step back! Hurry up!" Ying'er urgently urged High Light. Surrounded by three stunningly beautiful wives, High Light gazed at each of them, their radiant charm and allure captivating him one by one. Man, that one's getting really stiff down there—now I'm completely out of it, especially today when all three wives are dressed like celebrities. Particularly Dong Jiao, this celebrity wife, hailed as the "Queen of Transformation." High Guang really wanted to take her down right there and then, but Dong Jiao kept dancing, her body nearly brushing against his, then darting away again. Man, she's completely killing his appetite. So High Guang rushes over to her, grabbing her slender waist firmly—just perfect, and Li Xiang's compound palm brushes right through the air. But the force behind it is no small thing; it's sending ripples through the air around High Guang. High Guang is startled—bad news, someone must have launched a surprise attack. With his eyes sharp as lightning, he spots Li Xiang. Their gazes lock, full of hostility. "Old Li, don't worry—I've got the Triple-Unity ability!" High Guang chuckles inside, as he wraps his arms around Dong Jiao and tries to channel his inner energy. Unfortunately, to his great disappointment, that energy just won't respond. "Master!" Didn't you forget that the Yueguang Crystal Box space has already been closed and your abilities have been lost?" Ying'er urgently reminded. Gao Liang remained calm and only turned to Dong Jiao, saying, "Honey! Help me with something!" He then pulled out a brick from his body and handed it to Dong Jiao, who was quite puzzled, unsure of its significance. Gao Liang whispered to Dong Jiao, "Just follow my instructions!" At that moment, Li Xiang noticed Dong Jiao approaching him with a warm smile—what a thrill! Such a star-studded beauty was clearly showing interest in him. Haha, it seems this beautiful star really finds him appealing! Haha, he's absolutely thrilled! He could almost picture Dong Jiao lying beneath him, calling out in ecstasy as he passionately pursued her. Haha—this star beauty is all mine! What about you, Gao Liang? You're not even in the running! While happily daydreaming about this, he suddenly heard Gao Liang shouting at him, "You just undermined me—what kind of person are you?" Li Xiang was instantly furious, saying sharply, "I'll show you my true strength if you don't get knocked out!" He then gathered his Five-in-One ability in his palm. Yet Gao Liang interjected, "Your palm? How does it compare to my Jianjing Fist?" With those words, Gao Liang danced his Jianjing Fist with great force. Damn it, I'm going to dominate this stage! Li Xiang roared, not caring about the audience's reactions—whatever, he was determined to unleash his full power. And with that roar, the spectacle unfolded. "Ah!" A powerful surge of energy erupted from his palm, instantly causing strong winds to sweep through the arena. The audience gasped, completely stunned—never having imagined that Li Xiang could generate such a powerful gust without even extending his palm. "Hoo!" The ground trembled violently as Gao Liang, using the Kung Fu technique he learned at the Shaolin Temple, managed to step aside. It was extremely perilous, however, as a deep crater appeared precisely half a meter from his body. If it had been his body, it would have been completely shattered. "Ah!" "Li Xiang went berserk: "You're going to the West!" When he delivered his second palm with even greater force and intensity, he was utterly surprised to see that: under high-level's persistent eye signals, Dong Qiao had hesitantly raised the large brick, precisely aiming it at Li Xiang's fifth-harmony palm.
