With the "Soaring Dragon Seventy-two Faces" setting the bar high, the subsequent dishes completely lost their luster. After a few cursory tastes by the judges, the predictable contest finally reached the awarding phase.
Li Huang, seated in the center of the judges' panel, didn't bother with a microphone but used his Inner Strength instead, his resonant voice immediately filled the entire square—
"It is an honor to serve as a judge at this Dragon Gate Pastry Competition, and it's not just a courtesy—these are our heartfelt words, because today, we witnessed a creation that can truly be called the pinnacle of pastry craft.
"We have reason to believe that this competition, and the names of us judges, will go down in the history of the food industry, thanks to this pastry. The undeniable champion of this pastry competition is none other than Sun Wukong's 'Soaring Dragon Seventy-two Faces'!"
