BXBX NOVEL Chapter 321: Cue
“Damn it!”
Upon seeing the result of the draw, Bear Battle couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
This is really…
A hint of helplessness also surfaced on Qin Lang’s face.
If the situation is as they had just analyzed, then this drawing result is the
worst possible scenario for Qin Lang.
“Heh!” Ling Ziye scoffed coldly, a triumphant glint in his eyes as he looked at Qin Lang. “If you want to challenge Brother Yu Kun, you have to get through me first!”
Although Qin Lang scored higher in the selection battle, Ling Ziye didn’t feel too pressured.
Because Qin Lang only participated in one selection battle, Ling Ziye believed that there was a high probability that Qin Lang only had one very strong Food
Spirit.
Such an opponent can indeed achieve better results in the selection battle, but
in the Rankings Match, it’s a different story.
On the other hand, he himself had a very balanced development between his
two Food Spirits who cooperated perfectly.
With this in mind, his chances of defeating Qin Lang were not small!
Thinking about the opportunity to step on the higher-ranked Qin Lang, the triumphant expression on Ling Ziye’s face became even more prominent.
Qjn Lang rolled his eyes and ignored Ling Ziye, turning his gaze to Yu Kun not far away.
“I’ll learn from you again in three days.”
With that, he left the competition venue without looking back.
Ling Ziye was instantly enraged.
Didn’t Qin Lang’s words to Brother Kun imply that he is certain to win the first round?
The guy didn’t even glance at him!
“Damn you…” Ling Ziye glared at Qin Lang’s retreating figure, gritting his
teeth.
“The best response to an opponent’s contempt is to fight back with strength,
Yu Kun said calmly, patting Ling Ziye’s shoulder.
“Got it! Brother Yu Kun, I’ll listen to you!” War intent surged even more in Ling
Ziye’s eyes.
“Before the Ranking Match, let’s have a few more training battles to get the feel
of it,” Yu Kun suggested slowly.
“No problem!” Ling Ziye nodded forcefully.
The reason he and the other Spirit Chef stuck around Yu Kun was because Yu
Kun would often spar with them and give them pointers.
For Yu Kun, the both of them harbored genuine admiration.
“Brother Yu Kun, if we have more Spirit Battles, do you think your Taka has a chance to upgrade to three stars?” Ling Ziye looked at the two-star Food Spirit next to Yu Kun.
“Not likely,” Yu Kun shook his head slightly, “but I just need to absorb one more piece of Starstone for a stable breakthrough, so it’s not a big deal.”
“Right!” Ling Ziye pumped his fist, “I will definitely defeat Qin Lang and then be the first to experience Brother Yu Kun’s dual three-star power!”
“Good!” Yu Kun laughed, “Let’s go to the training ground!”
“Let’s go!”
“You aren’t so lucky,” Zhou Tianhao teased Qin Lang with a chuckle on their way back to the hotel from the Lanqiu Arena, “Assuming nothing goes wrong, in the second ranking match, you’ll be facing an opponent with two three-star Food Spirits.”
” Brother Zhou, you can still laugh!” Shen Qian, who was beside them, couldn’t help grumbling upon hearing their analysis. “It would be such a waste if Qin Lang doesn’t win.”
“Actually, it’s all good.” Qin Lang chuckled, “After all, didn’t I enter the Lanqiu City Youth Training Competition just to find a suitable opponent to gauge my progress?”
“Now that I’ve achieved my goal, I’ll do my best when it comes to the championship.”
“Moreover, just-advanced three-star Food Spirits aren’t necessarily stronger than Dan Bao and Spicy.”
“First of all, both Dan Bao and Spicy have a Flavor Value of 200 points. If the opponent’s Food Spirits haven’t reached their maximum Flavor Value, the gap in strength won’t be that big.”
“Secondly, the newly awakened third Combat Skill might not be well-practiced by the opponent, thus they can’t immediately form new Combined Battle Skills nor use them skillfully in battle.”
“If you think about it that way, doesn’t it feel much easier?”
“That’s true!” Shen Qian didn’t know much about the Training Path, but after hearing Qin Lang’s analysis, she found it made a lot of sense.
“I need to remind you of something,” Zhou Tianhao chimed in with a smirk, “the simultaneous reaching of three stars for two Food Spirits means that Yu Kun can try to open the third Star Vein – the Tianji – right away.”
“Once the Tianji Star Vein is opened, the Spiritual Power of each Star Vein will increase from 125 points to 175 points.”
“And there’s a lunch break between the first match and the second.”
“If I were Yu Kun, I would practice the Origin Cuisine needed for the birth of the third Food Spirit in advance within these few days, and try to cook it after opening the third Star Vein.”
“The time might be a bit tight, but it’s not impossible.”
” Don’t underestimate newly born one-star Food Spirits, if the first Combat Skill is something special, it can also influence the battle.”
Shen Qian, who had been slightly relieved, tensed up again after hearing Zhou Tianhao list these possibilities.
Qin Lang’s expression fell, “Brother Zhou, you’re giving me pressure.”
He had taken all of this into consideration, but in order to maintain a positive fighting mentality, he had deliberately pushed it out of his mind.
“Pressure brings motivation,” Zhou Tianhao chuckled, “Train hard these few days! Even if the opponent is strong, you’re not without hope.”
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The heat of the Youth Training Competition didn’t wane over the two days; instead, because of the battles in the selection competition, it triggered wave after wave of discussion.
The impact of the Leaping Fish Banquet hadn’t completely faded yet, and Qin Lang got recognized as expected.
The young Spirit Chef who had gained a lot of honor in the Cooking Path participating in the competitions of the Training Path drew a lot of attention.
On the other hand, Yu Kun’s failed attempt to break through to three stars in the last selection battle was noticed by attentive individuals, who deduced that he would be able to breakthrough successfully after absorbing another Starstone.
This resultant chain reaction made the upcoming Ranking Matches even more anticipated.
However, Qin Lang, who was at the center of the storm, remained unaffected. In these two days, under Zhou Tianhao’s guidance, he was undergoing even more brutal closed-door training.
In just two days, both Dan Bao and Spicy had notably improved in spirit, but as for how much they’d really improved, even Qin Lang the Spirit Chef had no idea.
According to Zhou Tianhao, their odds of winning against Yu Kun increased by 10%.
On Shen Qian’s side, five days had passed since Mr. Jiang Guangchen’s test, but she was still at a loss and felt like something was missing from the dozen new dishes she had tried one after another.
As time passed day by day, Shen Qian became increasingly restless and shut herself in the kitchen for constant trials.
“Let’s take a break and try this.” Noticing that Shen Qian wasn’t in a good state, Qin Lang, who had just finished his training, entered the kitchen with a large pot of deep brown broth.
“After tasting it, you might come up with an idea.”
