Chapter 26 - 26: Another battle with Zhao Chen

Translator: 549690339

“Uncle Luo Hui, the last Steamed Bass is ready.”

After catching up on the noon order, Qin Lang stepped out of the kitchen and waved to Luo Hui.

“You worked hard.” Luo Hui hurried over, “You still need to visit the Food Recommender tomorrow, do I really not need to tell the food guests who have booked Steamed Bass for tomorrow, to postpone their lunch reservation to dinner time?”

“That won’t be necessary.” Qin Lang smiled, “I didn’t mention ahead of time, so naturally I can’t delay the meal of the guests who have already reserved due to personal matters.”

“Okay, then I will arrange your reservations for the next few days in the evening.” Luo Hui smiled, “I think in the coming days, you may have to visit other Food Recommenders.”

“Alright, thank you so much Uncle Luo Hui.” Qin Lang nodded appreciatively.

Regardless of whether he succeeds in obtaining the Second Badge tomorrow, he will have to visit other Food Recommenders afterwards.

Scheduling the cooking of Steamed Bass exclusively during dinner service time was a tremendous help to him.

“Qin Lang, you have finished work, right?”

A voice rang out at this moment.

“Why are you still here?” Qin Lang looked helplessly at Zhao Chen, who popped out of nowhere.

“I missed out last time, and I won’t let this chance pass, 1 want to have a Spirit Battle with you!” Zhao Chen earnestly declared.

“That kid has been wandering around here during dinner service time, so why don’t you just agree?” Luo Hui, who enjoyed the drama, cheerfully suggested.

“Alright then.” Taking a glance at the time, Qin Lang reluctantly nodded, “But at this time, are there any vacant battlefields left at the Association?”

“You don’t have to worry, 1 have already reserved one in advance!” Zhao Chen patted his chest confidently, his eyes shining brightly after receiving Qin Lang’s definite response.

The chance for him to redeem his past defeat had finally arrived!

His first battle after debut ended in defeat to Qin Lang, which was a massive blow to him.

But after some deep reflection, he had done a lot of preparation work in this period.

Not only did he familiarise himself with common Combat Skills, but he also did some in-depth research on the Combat Skill “Barbaric Collision” used by his Food Spirit and the Combat Skill “Full Firepower” used by Qin Lang’s Food Spirit.

This time, he’s confident that the issues from last time won’t resurface!

So this time, he’s sure to be victorious!

To continually surpass opponents stronger than oneself, that’s the quality a Food Spirit trainer should have!

“If that’s the case, let’s set off then.” Qin Lang nodded.

It was just a detour to the Association.

Previously, he was just not very interested and furthermore, he was indeed very busy.

But now that Zhao Chen had initiated so actively, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to continue refusing.

Zhao Chen’s Food Spirit, Yangyang, and Qin Lang’s Dan Bao exchanged a look, as if a spark flashed by where their gazes met.

Thinking of the last time it was roasted into a charcoal, Yangyang’s eyes filled with fighting spirit.

This time, it and its invincible Spirit Chef would definitely redeem their past humiliation!

The same battle spirit burned in Dan Bao’s eyes.

A swift battle in order to return as soon as possible to eat the Tomato Beef Brisket Noodles cooked by Qin Lang!

Soon, Zhao Chen and Qin Lang arrived at the battlefield within the Association.

By coincidence, the referee for this Spirit Battle was still Jiang Gang from last time.

“You two again?” Jiang Gang laughed.

Only a few days had passed since the previous Spirit Battle, and he could still remember these two.

The last Spirit Chef called Zhao Chen had lost because he didn’t understand the Combat Skills. He wondered if he would learn his lesson this time.

After repeating the rules as per custom, Jiang Gang bellowed, “The countdown begins, Spirit Battle starts!”

“Three…”

“Borrow strength from Tian Shu, guard!” x2

Both sides of the Spirit Battle activate the Star Spirit Protection simultaneously, their Food Spirits confronting each other from a distance, their fighting spirit escalating in their eyes.

“Two…”

“One… Spirit Battle begins!”

With the sharp whistle tearing through the silence in the field, both Food Spirits move at the same time!

Regardless whether it’s Dan Bao’s Full Firepower or Yangyang’s Barbaric Collision, their effective attack ranges are shorter than the distance between them at the moment, making the actions of both Food Spirits surprisingly identical.

Quickly closing the distance!

A confident glimmer flashes in Zhao Chen’s eyes, quickly communicating with Yangyang through their psychic connection.

“Yangyang, combat skills are divided into three major types. Their ‘Full Firepower’ is a Nature-based Combat Skill. Our ‘Barbaric Collision’ is a Fighting-based Combat Skill.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Nature-based Combat Skills are versatile in form, usually with a longer attack range.”

“Although Fighting-based Combat Skills have a shorter attack range and mostly require close combat, they can more easily disable the opponent once they hit!”

“Our last defeat was because the ‘Barbaric Collision’ couldn’t change its direction, leaving you in a stiff state and you bore the full force of ‘Full Firepower’.”

“Don’t fear the flames because of this. Short-term contact won’t immediately result in combat incapability.”

“Utilize the training we’ve done these past few days, and take them by surprise!”

On the other side, Qin Lang is also communicating with Dan Bao.

“This time Zhao Chen did not let his Food Spirit use ‘Barbaric Collision’ immediately, it seems they have learned their lesson. In that case, we should also go all out!”

All their exchanges happened in an instant and the two Food Spirits made new moves.

Confirming that his opponent has entered the attack range of his ‘Full Firepower’, Dan Bao takes a deep breath.

From Qin Lang’s Tian Shu Star Vein, spiritual power gathers in Dan Bao’s body. It transformed into swirling flames in his translucent body.

With an all-out blast, the flames even covered its little yolk face.

In the next moment, Dan Bao violently spits out all the flames within its body!

A rapidly exploding Fire Line instantly spreads out like a fan, transforming into an overwhelming sea of flames!

The rolling heat wave quickly sweeps through the whole field, and Yangyang is positioned right at the center of the sea of flames.

Watching the reddish flames rapidly expand in his line of sight, Yangyang’s mind quickly flashed back to the previous failure, boiling the fighting spirit in its eyes!

“Barbaric Collision!”

Accompanied by Zhao Chen’s voice echoing in his mind, Yangyang’s body reacted as if it had been given an enormous propelling force, shooting towards Dan Bao’s direction past the sea of fire like a cannonball!

The speed of the ‘Barbaric Collision’ skill will gradually slow down during its execution, and its power will also gradually decrease.

So right at the moment of execution, Yangyang is at its fastest!

The surging sea of flames was quickly torn open by the powerful wind brought by the rapid collision, creating a large hole!

Yangyang’s white fur quickly blackened under the high temperature, but it was far from losing its combat capability!

When the flames in front of it dispersed, Dan Bao, once again filled with flames, appeared in front of Yangyang!

Seeing everything synchronized, Zhao Chen shouted, “Last hit! Barbaric Collision!”

The previously dwindling ‘Barbaric Collision’ from Yangyang was unleashed again, following the same direction.

Like a cannonball accelerating midway, it crashed towards Dan Bao with terrifying force!

The response came in the form of a column of fire spouting from Dan Bao’s mouth, like heavy artillery!

“Full Firepower, Convergence!”

“Boom!”

A thunderous explosion echoes through the battlefield!

Jiang Gang is intently watching the dust kicked up by the collision in the arena.

Who won?
