Li Wen

レオン

Leon initially presented himself as a member of the Dark Cooking Society. He first showed up at the Yang Spring Restaurant, demanding that Ruoh hand over one of the Legendary Cooking Utensils, claiming he was entitled to it. Ruoh stated that he had to battle Mao to determine the utensil's true successor. Mao won the battle, and Leon soon revealed everything to him after realizing that Mao still loves cooking. Like Mao, Leon is also the successor to the Ever-Soul knife. Leon explained that he betrayed and escaped the Dark Cooking Society after realizing the nature of the organization.
It turns out that a young Leon worked as a cook for the Yang Spring Restaurant a few years ago. Like Mao, Leon was a natural genius in cooking. He was also a kind child; he did not want to kill animals, but when he did, he placed a red paper talisman on the dead animal and prayed for it. Since he wanted to learn more about cooking, he left the restaurant and traveled around China. During his travels, he developed a strong urge to become a better cook, but when he could not find anything else suitable to learn, he decided to join the Dark Cooking Society to master their Dark Cooking Techniques. While in the Underground, his knife skills evolved to an unreachable level. Corrupted by the organization, he became even more obsessed with becoming the best chef. He sought out Luo Xie, the best knife forger in China, and had him forge the best knives. Luo Xie called his creation the Seven-Star Knives, the best knife set in all of China. On a cliff top, when Luo Xie said that he would one day create a better set, Leon was enraged, and in a fit of anger, stabbed him in the abdomen, causing him to fall off. This traumatized Leon, and he began to make things right from that point. He is the only person who possesses the coveted Seven-Star knives. Although, in the episode "The True Owner of the Seven-Star Knives", he encounters an Underground female chef, Shan An, who possesses duplicates.
He travels with Mao to retrieve the Legendary Cooking Utensils, in order to prevent the Dark Cooking Society from possessing them.
