With no suspense, the two of them won the first round of the competition through their head start.
Yu Yin, after finding out how they won, felt that she had grasped a third of Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu's essence. She thought it was due to them using up all the ingredients so that the other contestants had none left. The reality, however, was that they had fed the mortals earlier, leaving no room for the other contestants.
This strategy was quickly learned.
The Human Emperor candidates, upon learning that Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu had truly put themselves in others' shoes, began to reflect on why they themselves had not thought of this.
They certainly did tackle problems from different perspectives, but it was far from thorough.
In reality, both Yu Yin and Bai Hongtu, who had been spoiled since birth, never considered the round trip issue. Only Jiang Li, who had worked his way up from the bottom and seen the struggles of many people, knew what they needed most.
