After defeating Saiba Asahi, Hoshino Sora smoothly entered the top eight, and this time his match was the fourth, which was the last match of the quarterfinals.
Before the match began, he sat in the very center of the audience, with his wives forming a circle around him, occupying over ten seats in all directions. It could be said that the entire vicinity was filled with his people.
No one expressed dissatisfaction with this. For contestants, there were extra privileges regarding seating. Every active contestant could bring at least five spectators to watch the match.
"He won. Soma Yukihira has improved quite a bit recently, and Lei Yuhang has also made some progress, but not as much as Soma Yukihira. His cooking is a bit too conservative."
Looking at Yukihira Soma, who won decisively 3:0, and Lei Yuhang, who looked a bit disappointed, Hoshino Sora felt a little emotional. During the Autumn Elections, Yukihira Soma was clearly much weaker than Lei Yuhang.
But now, after only a year, he possesses the strength to defeat him. This is undoubtedly a terrifying thing; his progress speed is too fast!
"Speaking of the biggest improvement, it should be you."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's Feelings, Erina Nakiri said teasingly, a hint of infatuation in her eyes as she looked at him. He truly was the man she had chosen—not only handsome but also very promising.
The match between Yukihira Soma and Lei Yuhang was the second match of the quarter-finals.
The first match was Erina Nakiri vs. Tadokoro Megumi. Due to the theme's limitations, Erina barely won 2:1.
After winning the match, Erina Nakiri exclaimed about Tadokoro Megumi's rapid improvement in strength. In response, Tadokoro Megumi just smiled dejectedly and said nothing more.
She was also very sad about losing the match, feeling an emptiness in her heart. However, overall, the impact was not significant. After all, she had never expected to win the championship; reaching the top eight was already very good.
Moreover, they were all Hoshino Sora's women, belonging to the same group. She had already given her all in that match, exerting her full strength, so there was nothing more to say about losing.
This was at most an internal struggle. Although losing was very disheartening, enabling a teammate to continue forward and reach the peak was not necessarily a bad thing.
In the second match, Yukihira Soma won decisively. The third match was between Dragon BuFan of Oriental Academy and Lin Mo, a talented young chef from the Dark Cuisine World.
And this Lin Mo was also the leader of the Dark Cuisine World's contingent participating in BLUE to contend for the legendary cooking utensils. His strength was among the top tier of those participating in BLUE, and he had great potential to win the championship.
In fact, everyone who has made it to this stage is not to be underestimated. No one can claim to have a definite advantage over another. In situations where strengths are similar, the outcome of the match often depends on a bit of luck.
For example, I'm good at this dish, and you just happen not to be.
Or, for example, I perform exceptionally well with this dish, surpassing my usual level, while you make frequent mistakes.
In competitions, there are all sorts of unexpected events, and these can affect the deliciousness of the dish. Therefore, even chefs of similar skill sometimes end up with significant differences in their scores.
Few people can guarantee they will never lose, but strong individuals can ensure they don't get discouraged when they lose, and they will learn from their failures to become even stronger!
"Congratulations, Soma Yukihira, you won this match. In the next round, you'll be facing Erina Nakiri. It should be an exciting duel then."
Looking at Yukihira Soma, who had just returned to his seat, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but turn his head and say, patting Erina Nakiri's shoulder beside him with a hint of teasing.
"I will defeat Nakiri, and then I will defeat you in the final battle!"
"Yukihira-kun also likes to brag, just like someone, and besides, the one who will defeat Hoshino-kun is me. Yukihira-kun will be eliminated by me in the semi-finals!"
With a sidelong glance at Hoshino Sora, who was eagerly fanning the flames, Erina Nakiri felt helpless. Sometimes she really thought this guy was like a child, but never mind, he was already her man, what could she do? Spoil him.
"The match has begun."
Looking at the two people who simultaneously moved in the competition arena, Eishi Tsukasa, sitting in the corner of the audience, spoke. His eyes were filled with excitement; this was a true battle of the strong!
A top ten contestant on the Oriental Cuisine List, and a young genius chef from the Dark Cuisine World.
Both sides are the most outstanding young chefs in the world, true prodigies. Naturally, their current culinary showdown is extremely captivating, with even the back of the audience seating filled with people.
That dense, dark mass of people, one might think the BLUE finals were underway. In fact, due to the extremely high prestige of this BLUE, it has already attracted the attention of media worldwide.
You should know that although the previous WGO was a world-class organization, it was not highly valued by many countries. Those who participated were mostly amateur chefs without proper training, and the actual quality of the competition was not high.
However, with the emergence of the legendary cooking utensils, the prestige of the current BLUE has skyrocketed, becoming a stage of social concern, with live broadcasts being globally televised.
Of course, the traffic received wasn't particularly high, but at least over ten million people were following this competition, which had already reached the peak of all previous BLUE events.
