Toriko: Gourmet Chat Group

The moment Hoshimi Miyabi and the others saw Shokurin Temple, they were met with an elbow strike from the temple itself.

They had never seen a temple that could attack people. It was as if it were alive; it would smash people with rocks, rain fire from the

sky, and even sprout sharp spikes to stab them.

Chin Chinchin just shook his head and said slowly, "The foundation of Food Honor—lies within the heart of one's heart."

"Gratitude and respect for all things. Do not forget this feeling for even a moment. Place it in the most important part of your heart. This is the basic stance of Food Honor..."

That kid President Ichiryu mentioned should be arriving soon. He'll probably be about the same as these people.

"I think I understand, Master Chin," Hoshimi Miyabi said, thinking seriously, and bowed with her fists clasped.

Chin Chinchin nodded and looked at Miyabi with appreciation. "You are a very pure martial artist. I hope Shokurin Temple will be of help to you."

Unlike Komatsu and Toriko in the manga, who grasped the concept instantly, it took Miyabi's group several hours, and Daigo's group a full day, to barely be able to enter the temple without triggering its attacks. Kenji had to help them recover after each injury; otherwise, they would have been covered in wounds by now.

No one said training would be this deadly!

Miyabi and the others' Food Honor training was not conducted with the other hundred thousand people, but was taught by the acting master of Shokurin Temple, Koporou. He was an old man with white hair, and a thick beard covered the lower half of his face. He wore a pair of reflective glasses.

Food Meditation. This was the beginning of their Food Honor training. If they had any stray thoughts besides gratitude, the flame burning on the Pine Torch Head Grass in front of them would be extinguished.

Unsurprisingly, on their first try, no one could maintain it. In less than a minute, the flames in front of them went out.

"Too many stray thoughts," Koporou shook his head. They had clearly never come into contact with Food Honor before. But this was normal. To keep the flame of the Pine Torch Head Grass burning for half an hour usually required a month of practice.

"Acting Master, during this Food Honor training process, we can eat, right?" Kenji asked. After all, not everyone had a large amount of energy to consume, and this was not a training that could be completed in a short time.

"Yes. To prevent certain people from starving to death, some food will be provided. However, it is bland and tasteless, only enough to supplement the body's basic needs," Koporou nodded. Shokurin Temple had delicious ingredients, but to eat them, one needed to have achieved a certain level of Food Honor. Otherwise, even if the food was placed right in front of you, you would be unable to touch it.

"How nostalgic. This is how I trained back in the day," Atashino said with a sigh.

"Then how long did it take you to learn Food Honor, Atashino?" Kenji was a little curious. The Food Honor Jiro had taught him was a little different from Shokurin Temple's, but the effect was the same.

"About a month," Atashino recalled. That month had been exhausting, but also very fulfilling. She had learned a lot.

"Atashino's comprehension is very good. For a normal student, it takes a month just to get a preliminary grasp of the Food Meditation stage," Koporou said.

"Atashino, since we both know Food Honor, do you want to learn Ape Dance?" Kenji suggested. Ape Dance wasn't so much a technique as it was a fundamental principle of "removing force," which required unifying all 60 trillion of the body's cells. Once you mastered Ape Dance, you could move freely on the 100G Mountains, because the gravity itself would be negated by it.

"Are you talking about the ability that the apes in the Seventh Area have mastered?" Atashino asked thoughtfully. She had heard of it, but had never learned it.

"Yes. I'm going to make a trip to the Seventh Area to get some training equipment," Kenji nodded. "I'll leave Miyabi and the others in your care. If anyone gets injured, please treat them."

"Leave it to me." Atashino nodded. When it came to treatment, she was very skilled.

Kenji opened the map of the Gourmet World, confirmed the direction of the Seventh Area, and flew into the sky, disappearing like a shooting star.

"A mountain skipping on water... the Ape King's strength is truly ridiculous."

On his way, Kenji saw a large mountain skipping across the surface of the sea. This was no natural phenomenon; it was the Ape King Bambina, playing to pass the time. The mountain thrown by Bambina would circle the entire Earth, and by the time the massive landmass returned to Bambina's position, it would have been worn down to a tiny pebble. This showed just how terrifying Bambina's strength was. Although its normal Capture Level was only 6000, its true combat power was only unleashed after it shed its outer skin.

Among the Eight Kings, the Ape King Bambina was without a doubt the "problem child," with a perverse personality. With such immense strength, there was almost no one who could play with Bambina, so it could only entertain itself. When Bambina had seen one of NEO's clones, it had run over joyfully, as happy as a child, and had "played" with it. In the end, even the NEO clone was played to death, and Bambina had been heartbroken at the time.

"Found them. The Bibi Dumpling Bugs."

At the foot of the 100G Mountains, Kenji picked up a very strange insect from the ground. It was the size of a fist, perfectly round, and looked just like an ordinary stone, blending in with the ground. If you didn't look carefully, it would be very hard to spot.

However, the gravity here at the 100G Mountains was truly terrifying. Just at the foot of the mountain, it was already as strong as the gravity at the bottom of the Snake Den. To adapt to the gravity at the summit, besides having absolute strength, one could also move freely after mastering Ape Dance.

The Bibi Dumpling Bug was a special cooking ingredient. It was very delicious, but to taste it, you had to throw it up, spin it, and catch it. The more times you did this, the more delicious it became. However, this process was not easy. One moment it was heavy, the next it was light, one moment it was fast... Therefore, to keep up with the changes of the Bibi Dumpling Bug, one needed to unify all the cells in their body. For this reason, the Bibi Dumpling Bug was very suitable for practicing Ape Dance.

After collecting the Bibi Dumpling Bugs, Kenji sensed the area. He didn't feel the Ape King's presence.

Is it sleeping in space?

The Ape King Bambina's immense strength allowed it to leap into outer space, using the galaxy's stardust as a bed to fall into a peaceful, baby-like sleep. This level of strength was truly exaggerated.

Not seeing the Ape King, Kenji used his spatial power to return to the Human World.

"?"

Sensing the spatial fluctuation, Bambina dropped down from space, looking at the empty 100G Mountains with a puzzled expression.

Where's my toy?

It had clearly sensed a toy arriving, but suddenly it was gone.

Clap!

Suddenly, Bambina clapped its hands. A world-shakingly brilliant idea erupted from its clever brain. It must be playing hide-and-seek with me!

It must be hidden now.

I'm coming to find you!

Bambina bounced up and down, a happy smile on its face, and began to search the 100G Mountains.
