Chapter 6 - 6 The Importance of Knowledge
“Yangyang, Barbaric Collision!”
As the Spirit Battle began, Zhao Chen immediately issued his attack command.
At the same time, he swung his fist powerfully in the direction of Qin Lang and Dan Bao, as if this could somehow increase his sense of involvement.
Following Zhao Chen’s command, his Food Spirit moved simultaneously.
It swiftly bowed its head, pointed its horns at Dan Bao, and then, like a cannonball fired from the cannon, it dashed towards Dan Bao in an instant.
Its size was not much different from Dan Bao, but the momentum of this collision was quite astonishing, and a sharp breaking sound could be heard as it flew through the air!
“The first Combat Skill he used is Barbaric Collision, this Food Spirit has good potential.” Jiang Gang, who blew the whistle to start the battle, didn’t leave the field. After seeing Zhao Chen’s Food Spirit’s combat skill, he silently nodded.
However, its Spirit Chef seemed to be not very good at giving commands.
The only drawback of the Barbaric Collision is that it’s extremely difficult to change direction during the process.
The distance between the two Food Spirits was too great. Using Barbaric Collision as a first move was not a smart idea.
Jiang Gang could not help but look at Qin Lang on the other side.
If only this Spirit Chef named Qin Lang knew a bit about the Barbaric Collision…
“Wow, this skill seems very powerful!” Qi Xiaoyu, who was outside the arena, grabbed Du Weiwei’s hand, “I think Zhao’s Spirit Chef could win!”
“Who said he could win?” Du Weiwei pointed at Qi Xiaoyu’s forehead with one finger, “After we go back, try to learn more about common Combat Skills.”
“Eh?” Qi Xiaoyu curiously looked towards Qin Lang.
As Du Weiwei had become a Spirit Chef a year earlier than her and had earned a place in the top four in the Dongxia City Youth Training Competition, she naturally trusted her judgment more.
…
Barbaric Collision, huh…
Looking at the opponent who was about to crash into himself and Dan Bao, Qin Lang’s eyes flashed.
Food Spirits have no concept of race, each one is unique.
Even if the same dish is cooked by different Spirit Chefs, the resulting Food Spirits, their form and skills will differ.
However, the types of Food Skills and Combat Skills are limited.
If his memory served him right, the drawback of the Barbaric Collision skill was…
“Dan Bao, elevate!”
Qin Lang instantly issued the command.
At the same time, Dan Bao quickly raised its height and soon appeared above the opponent’s charging path!
“You think you can escape?” Zhao Chen shouted, “Yangyang, turn… uh…”
His face suddenly fell.
According to the feedback provided by the Food Spirit, this skill seemed to be…
Unable to change direction?!
“Next time remember to close the distance first before using Barbaric Collision.” Qin Lang voiced with a smile, simultaneously instructing Dan Bao through mental sense.
“Now! Full Firepower!”
“Gudululu!”
Dan Bao spun around, quickly aimed at the opponent still charging directly beneath, inhaled deeply, and the space between its tiny face and body instantly surged with blazing flames!
Immediately after, it puffed out its small mouth, blowing ferociously at the opponent’s Food Spirit!
Flames flooded out like a fan, rapidly increasing the temperature of the battlefield. A Rolling Heat Wave spread far and wide, the horrific heat from the central area made everything seem distorted!
This was Dan Bao’s Combat Skill, Full Firepower!
“Thud!”
As the sea of fire subsided, a faint sound was heard in the middle of the field,
Zhao Chen’s originally fluffy and white Food Spirit was scorched into a tiny black piece of coal, falling from the sky.
(?﹏?)
“Oh my God!” Outside the battlefield, Qi Xiaoyu drew in a sharp breath, “Is Qin Lang’s Food Spirit that powerful?”
Was this the same guy who in her memory had changed five training classes in five years of learning to cook but never birthed a Food Spirit?
“Not bad.” Du Weiwei agreed and nodded her head, “The ‘Full Firepower’ skill has strong output. That Spirit Chef must have studied combat skills as well, understanding the flaw in ‘Barbaric Collision.\'”
“It seems like I need to put more effort into my combat skills from now on,” Qi Xiaoyu said with a grin. “Weiwei, will you tutor me?”
“Sure, but let’s have a battle first,” Du Weiwei, pulling Qi Xiaoyu’s hand, led her toward an empty battleground.
“Uh… I suddenly feel that I need more preparation?” Qi Xiaoyu grimaced.
Having watched a battle, she realized that Spirit Battles were not as simple as she had thought.
She had been somewhat hasty in her first Spirit Battle.
“It’s too late to regret now,” Du Weiwei unveiled an evil smile. “Haven’t you been looking forward to this for a long time? Let’s go!”
“No!!!”
…
Jiang Gang stepped forward adeptly, counting down from five to confirm that Zhao Chen’s Food Spirit had lost its combat power.
The next moment, a piercing whistle resonated throughout the field.
“The winner of this round is Qin Lang!”
“Dulu!”
Having defeated his opponent, Dan Bao immediately flew to Qin Lang for a hug.
“Well done!”
Qin Lang embraced Dan Bao, and the next moment, as if sensing something, he looked toward the center of the field.
A tiny point of light suddenly appeared in the sky above the center of the field, then split into two, falling toward Dan Bao and the opponent’s Food Spirit.
It was plainly apparent that the portion heading for Dan Bao was larger.
Was this what was known as Star Power, the reward after a Food Spirit battle?
Qin Lang, seeing this glow merge with the points of light around Dan Bao, asked curiously, “Dan Bao, how do you feel?”
“Gudu!”
Dan Bao’s eyes lit up.
It felt like it was one step closer to becoming a Two-star Food Spirit!
Is this what it feels like to become stronger?
Loved it! Loved it!
…
“Here’s the thousand bucks I promised you!”
Although Zhao Chen was a bit impulsive, he kept his word.
After the battle ended, at the doorway of the Spirit Chef Association, he dejectedly gave the money to Qin Lang.
Seeing Qin Lang unceremoniously pocket the money, Zhao Chen’s heart ached.
After becoming a Spirit Chef, his parents had given him quite a bit of allowance.
But giving away a thousand like this still hurt.
But more painful to Zhao Chen than this was that his dream had capsized before he could even set sail.
“Wait until I’ve figured out Food Spirit combat skills. I’ll challenge you again!” He spoke angrily. “I won’t quit until I’ve defeated you!”
Again?
Qin Lang rolled his eyes, “We’ll talk about it later.”
On the other hand, adorable little eyes of Dan Bao beside him quickly lit up.
After absorbing the Star Power, it was now very interested in battles.
Battle! Rise in rank!
Become a Two-star Food Spirit ASAP!
“Gulu!”
Qin Lang rubbed Dan Bao’s large ears, amused and exasperated, “You can get Star Power from both Spirit Battles and Food Fights. We don’t necessarily need to fight. I’d prefer to have a Food Fight with other Spirit Chefs…”
“You want to have a Food Fight with a Spirit Chef?”
A voice appeared behind Qin Lang.
The next moment, Du Weiwei, leading Qi Xiaoyu with the same dejected expression as Zhao Chen, approached Qin Lang.
“In that case, how about a Food Fight between the two of us. What do you say?”
