Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Test of Skill
Translator: 549690339
After momentary pondering, Qin Lang split the four starstones into two.
“Glug!”
I don’t need it!
Dan Bao shook his yolk-like head, although instinctively craving for the starstones, he unhesitatingly pushed Qin Lang’s hand holding two starstones with his big tail towards Spicy.
Give all four to Spicy!
Spicy’s food skill played a crucial role in securing this victory.
Besides, Spicy is still at one star.
If Qin Lang were to unlock the third star vein, both food spirits need to progress together!
Seeing Dan Bao behave like this brought a smile on Qin Lang’s face.
Indeed, this was a better arrangement, but the fact that Dan Bao was so understanding and suggested it proactively made Qin Lang feel very gratified.
“Spicy, absorb it.”
After confirming that Dan Bao had willingly given up on absorbing the starstones this time, Qin Lang handed all four starstones to Spicy.
“Chomp!”
Spicy, laying his eyes on the starstones for the first time, gulped and quickly moved in to absorb it.
Following, he noticed Dan Bao watching him from the side.
Spicy opened his mouth, then awkwardly turned his head away.
(“v“—)
“Crunch…”
Thanks this time…
Qin Lang stroked his chin, watching the glowing bubble above Spicy’s head turn red again, he fell into deep thought.
His second food spirit sure had an interesting personality.
As the city-level cooking competition came to an end, the tens of thousands of audience in Dongxia Arena left, turning the bustling arena once again into a quiet one, with only few sanitation workers doing the cleaning.
“You don’t know! When it was the last ten seconds of the countdown, I almost died out of nervousness!”
Under some trees next to Dongxia Arena, Qi Xiaoyu glared at Qin Lang, and burst into a chuckle, “But congratulations are in order, champion!”
Du Weiwei, standing beside them, didn’t utter a word, but her gaze landed on the second food spirit flitting around Qin Lang.
Qin Lang had just promoted his first food spirit to two stars yesterday, and today he already successfully obtained a second food spirit?
Compared to Qin Lang, she who became a spirit chef a year earlier, still hadn’t birthed her second food spirit yet.
Thinking of this, a seed of competitiveness started to sprout in Du Weiwei’s heart.
She also needs to hurry up!
“Thanks.” Qin Lang looked at the two girls in front of him, suddenly remembered something, and couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s Zhao Chen?” It felt like something was missing with one of their trio absent.
Furthermore, not just today.
Yesterday, during his first ranking match with Tang Xie, he didn’t seem to have seen Zhao Chen around either.
“It seems that you gave him a bit of a shock, and he went off to undergo special training.” Qi Xiaoyu waved her hand nonchalantly, “He mentioned it a few days ago, then disappeared for several days.”
“I originally wanted to invite him to watch the ranking matches together, but 1 couldn’t reach him.”
“So, that’s what happened.” Qin Lang nodded in understanding, and then heaved a slight sigh, “Such a pity.”
“What’s a pity?” Du Weiwei curiously asked.
“I initially wanted to challenge him to a spirit battle.”
“Pfft!” Du Weiwei couldn’t help but laugh, “I remember that before, every single time Zhao Chen wanted to challenge you for a spirit battle, you’re reluctantly agree, why are you the one seeking him now?”
“I get it!” Qi Xiaoyu smirked, “Qin Lang’s food spirit is already two stars, a spirit battle with Zhao Chen now is a complete rout!”
Upon saying that, she suddenly remembered her own experience, and her smile froze.
Damn! 1 seem to be the one who was routed by Du Weiwei!
“So, that’s the reason…”
Du Weiwei looked at Qin Lang thoughtfully, a hint of eagerness appeared in her eyes.
Previously, her Food Spirit was of two stars, whereas Qin Lang’s Food Spirit was of one star.
Thus, she had never proposed to engage Qin Lang in a Spirit Battle.
But now, Qin Lang’s Food Spirit had also reached two stars, equivalent to the strength of her own Food Spirit.
Thinking of this, Du Weiwei and her Food Spirit exchanged glances.
“If you want a Spirit Battle, how about going against me?”
“Huh?”
Qin Lang blinked, realizing that the two girls might have misunderstood something.
His proactive desire to engage Zhao Chen in a Spirit Battle was not to allow Dan Bao, who had already broken through to two stars, to bully Yangyang, who was still at one star.
Don’t forget that in addition to Dan Bao, he also has another Food Spirit.
Spicy not only has the Food Skill of Cooking Acceleration but also possesses a very interesting Combat Skill.
He wanted to give Spicy a chance to fight in a Spirit Battle and test the effect of its Combat Skill.
But…
Let Dan Bao go into a Spirit Battle with Du Weiwei’s Food Spirit?
Qin Lang couldn’t help but look at Dan Bao, which was showing a look of anticipation.
Speaking of which, since awakening his second Combat Skill, Thought Waves, Dan Bao had yet to have any experience in using it in battle.
However, it had plenty of experience using it for cooking.
“Sure!” Qin Lang agreed since Du Weiwei had proposed it.
Dan Bao was in need of a little practice.
But Spicy’s Spirit Battle couldn’t be overlooked either.
He turned to look at Qi Xiaoyu, who was preparing to watch the show, “How about we also have a Spirit Battle?”
Qi Xiaoyu’s expression of anticipation froze slightly.
“You’re going to bully me just because Zhao Chen isn’t here?!” She opened her eyes wide, “I’ve been cheering you on in every match, and this is how you repay me?”
“Ahem, it’s not that serious…” Qin Lang scratched his head, pointing at Spicy, “What 1 meant was, I intend to use my second Food Spirit to battle against you.”
“Eh?” Qi Xiaoyu looked at Spicy with surprise, then glanced at her own Food Spirit.
From their brief chat, she already knew that Spicy was created during the last cooking competition, and that was why Qin Lang took such a long time.
So…
This is a newborn Food Spirit with no battle experience?!
Qi Xiaoyu, who had been bullied by Du Weiwei many times before and thought she had extensive battle experience, was strongly captivated!
Was it her turn to enjoy the taste of bullying this time?
“Deal!” Qi Xiaoyu spoke confidently.
At this, Du Weiwei developed several worry lines on her forehead.
Was this idiot forgetting that although the Food Spirit had just been born, Qin Lang’s Spiritual Power had already reached 125, so his overall combat power was still stronger than hers…
Oh well, since Qi Xiaoyu had been bullied by her so many times before, being bullied once more was no big deal.
“Then when are we going to have the Spirit Battle?” Du Weiwei looked at Qin
Lang, “You competed today, do you still have the energy for a Spirit Battle? Or shall we schedule it for tomorrow?”
“Let’s do it today.” Qin Lang assessed his condition.
Although his Tianxuan Star Vein was depleted in the final cooking process, it had been a good while since then and it had already recovered considerably. Dan Bao and Spicy, who were eager to try, didn’t seem like they could patiently wait until tomorrow.
“I can recover a bit more through meditation on the way to the Spirit Chef
Association. 1 should be ready after that.”
He took out the Duel Initiator he had bought but hadn’t used yet, embedded his emblem in it, and then handed it to the girls, “Let’s place a reservation first, then let’s go!”
Shortly after, preparations for both Spirit Battles were complete.
The battle against Qi Xiaoyu was scheduled earlier, while the battle against Du Weiwei would be later.
