Chapter 162 - 162: Awakening
As the final words of the Star Hunter fell, a Food Spirit, now displaying a brand-new form, took the place of its comrades who were surrounded by Fresh Intent Fire, and stood against the blanket of attacks.
Facing Yunqi’s most potent strike imminent, this Food Spirit solemnly pushed out a cyan-colored light sphere.
Within the sphere, it seemed as if boundless winds were violently sweeping and rolling, containing power oscillations that cause one’s heart palpitations and an unprecedented pressure.
This force was terrifying, even more so than Yunqi’s eruption!
Eventually, this cyan-colored sphere came in contact with the four-combined battle skills unleashed by Yunqi’s Food Spirit.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Next, a deafening terrifying boom echoed endlessly in the Bai Lu Mountain Arena, capable of holding fifty thousand audiences.
Waves of gale emanated outward from the collision’s epicenter, sweeping across the entire venue, causing the flags at the edge of the field embroidered with competition symbols to flap wildly.
Luckily, under the staff members’ direction, the audience had already completed an efficient evacuation and were unaffected.
The moment after the clash, endless smoke and dust started to roll up; blade-like storms surged from within the cyan light group, indiscriminately sweeping the entire field like a curtain of rain!
One by one, the Food Spirits lost their combat capability and fell to the ground under this terrifying attack, while those who had activated Star Spirit Protection were likewise forced to retreat.
By the time the dust settled, there was no trace of the Star Hunter in the field.
Only the battlefield marked with clear tracks of the wild wind, proof of the ferocity of the fight that had just taken place.
Yunqi glanced at the alloy box, still intact in Xu Qingmo’s hand, and exhaled a sigh of relief as she extinguished the radiant flames around her.
Line upon line of scarlet burns dissipated slowly on her body, but the speed of its fading was even slower than the burning of the Soul Burning Fire, looked somewhat grotesque.
“Cough, cough-”
Yunqi covered her mouth and coughed violently, her complexion visibly whitening.
A look of worry and anxiety quickly appeared on Xu Qingmo’s face.
She hastily supported Yunqi and waved to Qin Lang and the other three, who were dumbfounded.
“Come over!”
Opening the alloy box and revealing the intact ten pieces of Starstone inside, Xu Qingmo turned to Zhu Quan and Hao Yifan, “each absorb five, immediately!” The two understood the seriousness and quickly summoned their Food Spirits to absorb the energy of the Starstones.
After a moment, the ten Starstones turned transparent, and the two returned them.
“What happened today must not be leaked out!”
Xu Qingmo closed the alloy box and warned, then she quickly left with Yunqi. Qin Lang and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to do. “Alright, you can leave now.” Liu Shuang squeezed out a smile and waved to them, “The venue has been damaged, and the next two ranking matches will probably be postponed. Just wait for subsequent notifications about the details” “Also, don’t leak out anything about what just happened, especially the final power of the Star Hunter!”
Although Liu Shuang himself didn’t know what it was, he could guess from the solemn expressions of both the President and the Vice President that this matter was probably highly significant.
“Alright.”
Qin Lang and the others nodded, no longer lingered, and turned towards the exit.
However, they couldn’t help but whisper about everything that had just happened.
“What was the power the Star Hunter revealed at the end exactly?” Hao Yifan clenched his fists and couldn’t help but ask.
The power that could let Food Spirits transform and produce a stronger attack, and possesses the strength to fight five veins with four, had him yearning for it.
“Actually, it’s not hard to guess.” Zhu Quan, walking at the front, paused slightly, “The Star Hunter hasn’t opened the Seventh Star Vein yet, and that kind of power is far from the Spirit-ignite Power.”
“The only match would be…”
“The Star system?” Qin Lang interrupted.
“Correct.” Zhu Quan glanced at Qin Lang and continued to walk away.
“I just don’t know which one of the five star systems they use.”
“Awakening Chant – an exclusive star system for the Lotlan Region.”
Inside the meeting room of the Bai Lu Mountain City Spirit Chef Association, Xu Qingmo’s face didn’t look too good, “1 didn’t expect that the Star Hunter could control the power of the star system.”
“So, it’s the star system.”
Zhou Tianhao came to a sudden realization, with a hint of fervor in his eyes.
As the champion of the provincial event, he will try to get other third-level Spiritual Controller’s Badges after getting one, so as to gain qualification to participate in the regional training competitions.
There, he will also come into contact with the power of the star system.
“This might be a good thing.” Yunqi coughed lightly, the complexion of his fair face regained some colour, “Those who control the star system can be traced.”
“With his ability, it’s almost impossible for him to get the star system at the regional training competitions, so the only way he could possibly obtain the star system is…”
“Through the regional cooking competitions.” Xu Qingmo rubbed his eyebrows, “That’s why his Food Spirits Taste Value is so high.”
“He must have participated in the previous regional cooking competitions in the Lotlan region.” Yunqi sighed slightly, “But chasing across regions exceeds our authority. We should report it.”
“Hmm.” Xu Qingmo nodded.
“President, Vice President.” Liu Shuang glanced at the two of them, “There are still two ranking matches left in the Youth Training Competition, given the current situation, should we postpone…”
“No postponement.” Xu Qingmo responded without hesitation, “Post an announcement on the official website, tell the citizens that the Association has repelled the Star Hunter organization. The afternoon competition will be delayed for one hour for repairing the facilities damaged in the arena, and then proceed as usual.”
The disturbance caused by the appearance of the Star Hunters must be pacified by the victory of the Association. Nothing boosts morale more than proceeding with the competition as usual.
The failure of the Star Hunters to obtain the ten Starstones will only shift their focus to the remaining six.
The Starstone should be consumed as soon as possible to avoid complications.
“But… the star system they control…” A Spirit Executor couldn’t help but voice out, looking worried.
“The recovery speed of the Star System is slower than the Spirit-ignite Power.” Yunqi responded calmly, seemingly familiar with the Star System, “They won’t be able to use the Awakening Chant in the afternoon competition.”
“If we wait for their star system to recover, things will only get worse.”
“I see.” The Spirit Executor sighed in relief, quickly nodding, “1 have no further questions.”
The other Spirit Executors also expressed their agreement.
The emergency meeting soon ended.
Left in the meeting room, Xu Qingmo helped Yunqi stand up, her expression not any more relieved despite the repulsion of the Star Hunters.
“Worrying is useless.” Yunqi leaned back into Xu Qingmo, resting her head on her shoulder and said softly, “If it really comes to that… abandon the Starstone.”
There was something she didn’t mention to the Spirit Executors.
The Awakening Chant is just one of the five star systems.
What if the Star Hunters controlled more than one star system?
