Time ticked away, and Fat Man Hua, too, was looking forward to the final showdown. He had purposely delayed the competition, but Nian Bing had not shown up yet. Helplessly, he had to announce that Nian Bing had forfeited the final round and start the game officially. With Nian Bing absent, Xiao Tian felt disheartened. However, his cooking skills, combined with the advantage gathered from the previous two rounds, easily bagged him the championship of the Hua Dragon Cooking Contest. Mo Mo claimed the second place with three eight-star matches while another outstanding chef filled in for Nian Bing and surprisingly came third. The prize money and certification for the Kitchen God competition were quickly handed to the contestants. The three-day-long Hua Dragon Cooking Contest finally ended, and Taru City's celebration came to a close, although not perfectly. Everything returned to normal, and the next Hua Dragon Cooking Contest would not take place until three years later.
