"Dong!"
The distant chime of the clock spread across the Huangpu River at midnight.
This chime announced the grand opening of the "Soaring Dragon Hall" on the Loulin Ship!
Xia Yu followed Zhu Qing into the hall, observing in awe.
Magnificent!
Like an opulent theater, three layers of seats surrounded the spacious main stage, and lanterns adorned every corner.
There were a total of nine golden dragon columns supporting the dome.
The judging area was also noteworthy, set against the backdrop of the Dragon Wall, located in the north, with five carved redwood chairs, each occupied, indicating all five judges were present!
The three-tiered audience seats were packed, with Xia Yu and Zhu Qing sitting at the highest point.
"Old man—"
Suddenly, Xia Yu glanced towards a staircase.
The sides competing in the food duel stepped out from separate passages, facing each other at two opposing culinary stations.
