Chapter 124 - 124 Burning Spirit
Upon seeing the competition topic, Zhou Tianhao, sitting on one side of the venue, inadvertently revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes, while the expression on Zhang Sheng’s face subtly changed on the other side.
In a situation where his entire lineup was overwhelmingly superior to Zhou Tianhao’s, the last thing he wanted was a multiple-on-multiple group battle full of unknown variables.
“Continue the draw!” With Qu Cheng’s command, the words fixed on the big screen disappeared, replaced by new words that rolled quickly.
One could vaguely see that there were three kinds of words, representing!2], [3], and[4], respectively.
They would determine the number of Food Spirits that the two contestants could send out in this match.
Without giving the tension in the arena a chance to dissipacate, Qu Cheng called halt after a moment’s roll.
The final number was[3].
This meant that both sides would choose three out of the four Food Spirits for a group battle to determine the champion.
Zhang Sheng let out a sigh of relief.
If they had drawn a 2, his advantage of having one more Five-Star Food Spirit than Zhou Tianhao would be completely wiped out.
This result was one he could accept.
With a thought, Zhang Sheng’s Tian Shu Star Vein, Tianxuan Star Vein, and Tianji Star Vein all glowed faintly and three Food Spirits slowly materialized in the convergence of the light.
Around these three Food Spirits, five glowing stars were orbiting.
Five-star Food Spirits!
The moment this scene clearly appeared on the big screen, the arena immediately erupted with countless cheers. Many of Zhang Sheng’s supporters even shouted out his name at this moment.
On the other side, Zhou Tianhao calmly looked at his powerful opponent, and the three star veins, Tian Shu, Tianxuan, and Tianquan, flickered faintly.
Without summoning the Food Spirit from the third star vein, he chose to summon the Food Spirit from the fourth star vein, clearly having a particular intention in mind.
Three spheres of light converged next to Zhou Tianhao, turning into three Food Spirits.
Two five-stars, one four-star.
At a glance, seemingly at disadvantage, yet the cheers from the audience for him were just as intense.
As both contestants successively summoned their battlers, Qu Cheng calmly stated, “Countdown five seconds, the match begins.”
“Five…”
The atmosphere in the arena suddenly became tense.
“Borrow from Tian Shu, defend!” x 2
Two low commands, coming one after the other, from Zhang Sheng and Zhou Tianhao.
As the Seven Star Map appeared in their eyes, identical Seven Star Maps appeared in the eyes of the six Food Spirits in the arena.
When Star Spirit Protection is applied to multiple Food Spirits, it binds all the Food Spirits and the Spirit Chef’s consciousness together.
The two sides were five hundred meters apart, yet each other’s reflections were visible in their eyes, as if sparks were flashing in the intertwining of their gazes.
“Four…”
As Qu Cheng continued the countdown, the mood in the arena became increasingly oppressive and tense, like the calm before a storm.
The audience seats were silent, countless spectators dared not even breathe.
Qin Lang tightly hugged his two Food Spirits, completely devoid of his previous casualness.
While everyone’s emotions were stirred, the countdown neared its end.
“One… The match begins!”
With a shout, both sides made their moves at the same time.
But their actions were not to approach the opponent immediately, but rather…
“Four Heavens Transformation, Ignite!” x 2
Accompanied by two forceful shouts that echoed across the venue under the influence of profound spiritual power, the competitors on both sides of the competition venue underwent radical transformations simultaneously!
Tian Shu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan.
In this moment, Zhou Tianhao’s Four Heavens Star Veins exploded with an unprecedented dazzling light.
Immediately after, streaks of crimson flames ignited by spiritual power crisscrossed around his body, transforming into a storm of flames that completely enveloped him.
In an instant, Zhou Tianhao became a “Fire Man” burning with crimson flames, these flames swept up in the energy storm engrossing him.
At the same time, one of the two five-star Food Spirits by his side suddenly manifested flames of the same color.
The moment these flames completely wrapped it, this Food Spirit loudly cried out.
“Ping Su!!!”
The next instant, its body shape underwent rapid changes under the gaze of fifty thousand spectators in Bai Lu Mountain Arena.
Its body became enormous, easily ten times larger than other Food Spirits, and at various spots on its body, one after another mysterious light pattern illuminated!
Under swirling crimson flames, this Food Spirit experienced a powerful and mysterious transformation!
The same star veins lighted up on Zhang Sheng who was on the other side.
However, unlike Zhou Tianhao, the flames burning around Zhang Sheng were like ghostfires, presenting a ghastly blue color. This made Zhang Sheng, who was similarly engulfed by these flames, emit an entirely different aura than Zhou Tianhao.
“Si Cha!!!”
One of Zhang Sheng’s three five-star Food Spirits cried out to the sky and at this moment, its body likewise swelled abruptly under the wind. It instantly exhibited a terrifying momentum, bathed in a blue flame, with equally mysterious but wholly different light patterns visible around it.
With the escalating power of both sides confronting each other across space, the entire battlefield suddenly gives rise to one wave of a violent gale after another!
Is this…
A second Spirit Master technique only for masters who have opened the Fourth Star Vein and produced a corresponding Food Spirit.
The Spirit-Ignite Power!
“Both competitors have simultaneously deployed the Spirit Master Technique: Spirit-lgnite Power!”
As the competition officially commenced, Qu Cheng didn’t comment anymore, focusing entirely on refereeing the match, while the host by his side undertook the task of providing commentary on the match.
At this moment, both sides, bathed in blue and red flames, swiftly collide. Accompanying the intense rumble, the host’s impassioned commentary synchronously echoed within the arena.
“The two competitors have different types of Spirit-lgnite Flames. Zhou Tianhao’s Spirit-lgnite Flames, called Shining Battle Fire, are capable of increasing the all Combat Skills’ effectiveness and proficiency. Zhang Sheng’s Spirit-lgnite Flames, titled the Fresh Intent Fire, are capable of enhancing Flavor Value regardless of its upper limit!”
“What kind of consequence would the clash of these two types of Spirit-lgnite Flames generate? Let us wait and see!”
As the host gave commentary, the spectators’ enthusiasm was ignited by the rising twin colored flames at the center of the field.
All at once, cheers and screams crescendoed, with many die-hard fans of both competitors shouting their names to cheer them on.
Sitting at the spectator seats, Qin Lang was indifferent to these noisy sounds.
He held two Food Spirits in his arms while staring intently at the swiftly clashing competitors at the center of the field.
Spirit-lgnite Power.
The two outstanding trainers invited by Dongxia City also mastered this ability and showcased it in the exhibition match earlier.
However, Qin Lang in the kitchen at the time didn’t see it, and there’s a substantial difference between the deployment by four-star Food Spirits and five-star Food Spirits.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time Qin Lang witnessed such power in person.
It belongs to the Spirit Chef, the deeper level of power.
He failed to notice that Spicy, curled up in his arms, was also staring unblinking at the competitors at the center of the field.
Her heterochromatic eyes were reflecting the dual-colored flames.
