“You can do it!”

Xiong Zhan scratched his head, giving Qin Lang an encouraging look, “But Yu Kun is really formidable, so you cannot underestimate him.”

At this point, Xiong Zhan couldn’t help but recall his own experiences.

When he first came to Lanqiu City, he heard about Yu Kun, the strongest young generation Spirit Chef in Lanqiu City. As a warlike individual, he sought Yu Kun out for a Spirit Battle.

Yu Kun readily accepted, and within two rounds, he defeated Xiong Zhan decisively. Even now, Xiong Zhan still held psychological shadows about Yu Kun.

I will.” Qin Lang nodded slightly.

The last time he met a three-star Food Spirit opponent was Zhu Quan, the champion of the Bai Lu Mountain City Youth Training Competition. Powering through with the surprisingly effective Lucky Bite Mark of his spicy dish, Qin Lang managed to defeat Zhu Quan’s three-star Food Spirit, emerging victorious.

This time it seemed Yu Kun was stronger than Zhu Quan.

“By the way.” Xiong Zhan suddenly remembered something, “Did we forget to take the Youth Training Competition brochure? Qin Lang, do you know the rules?”

“Uh…”

Qin Lang’s face became a little embarrassed. Due to the unpleasant incident with the staff member, he had stormed off after confronting them, forgetting about the brochure.

“Hehe.” Seeing Qin Lang’s expression, Xiong Zhan laughed, “Yesterday, I borrowed the Lv sisters’ brochure to understand the competition rules in advance, so it doesn’t matter if we don’t have a brochure.”

“Let me tell you the rules this time.” As he spoke, he recounted the competition rules meticulously, “First of all, the Selection Battle…”

Qin Lang pricked up his ears, nodding occasionally as Xiong Zhan detailed the rules.

The rules of the Lanqiu City Youth Training Competition were similar to the Bai Lu Mountain City Youth Training Competition that Qin Lang had previously participated in. It was divided into Selection Battles and Ranking Battles.

During the Selection Battle, contestants would choose two from ten Spirit Chefs from the Spirit Chef Association, whose strengths were different but similarly matched, also known as the “Selection Battle Standards,” to fight against consecutively.

Each battle was against a Selection Battle Standard, with each side presenting a Food Spirit.

The judges would score based on various factors of the battle, with the higher score from each contestant’s two battles being their final score.

The top four from the Selection Battles would enter the subsequent Ranking Battles, determining the top four ranks through one-on-one battles decided by drawing lots.

However, compared to the Bai Lu Mountain City Youth Training Competition that Qin Lang had previously participated in, this time’s Lanqiu City Youth Training Competition was a bit different.

That was, the Selection Battle only lasted one day.

The Bai Lu Mountain Youth Training Competition was held at the same time as the Provincial Training Competition, so there were more participants than usual. Without any special conditions this year, the Lanqiu City Youth Training Competition had a standard number of contestants.

Each contestant would take part in a Selection Battle in the morning and another in the afternoon, and the advancement quota would be determined on the same day.

“Thank you.”

After understanding the competition rules, Qin Lang looked gratefully at Xiong

He was too embarrassed to return to the counter to get a brochure.

“No big deal. I just hope that in the competition three days later, you can help me give Yu Kun a good fight.” Xiong Zhan smiled.

For some unknown reason, although he had not fought Qin Lang, he inexplicably had a feeling that this guy in front of him was very strong.

“I’ll do my best.” Qin Lang nodded.

During their conversation, the two had already reached the exterior doors of the Spirit Chef Association.

Agreeing to meet on the day of the competition, Qin Lang and Xiong Zhan parted ways here.

“Let’s go. Let’s head back to the hotel quickly.” Looking at the two little ones who had been silently following him, Qin Lang knew they were simmering with energy.

There are three days left. We can learn more from Big Brother Zhou.”

“So… you declared in the Spirit Chef Association that you want to beat Yu Kun?”

In the hotel, Shen Qian looked at Qin Lang with surprise, “Are you that strong?”

“All, haha…” Qin Lang chuckled awkwardly, “I didn’t say that. My exact words were ‘Yu Kun’s first position won’t be easily taken.'”

“There’s no difference!” Zhou Tianhao patted Qin Lang on the shoulder, his face full of appreciation, “Good job! You must have such aspiration!”

When I first participated in a city-level training competition, I told all the other contestants ‘I’m not targeting anyone of you in particular. Everyone present is garbage.'”

The expressions on Qin Lang’s and Shen Qian’s faces became more animated.

They had never imagined that the typically gentle and amiable Zhou Tianhao could have such an arrogant moment.

“So what happened next? Were you beaten up?” Shen Qian couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

” What happened next?” Zhou Tianhao scratched his head, “Next, I won the city-level training championship.”

Qin Lang: “…”

Shen Qian: “…”

As expected of you, Big Brother Zhou!

“I digress.” Zhou Tianhao coughed lightly, bringing the conversation back on track, “Anyway, I approve of how Qin Lang expressed his intent.”

“The strong should possess indomitable faith!”

“What of a two-star against a three-star? We fight for the three stars! ”

“I will provide you with a lot of guidance in the next few days,” Zhou Tianhao patted Qin Lang on the shoulder, “Let’s cram for the competition. This is something I’m excellent at!”

Hearing Zhou Tianhao say this, Qin Lang relaxed a lot.

With Zhou Tianhao’s guidance, he felt that he had an added layer of assurance for victory.

“Don’t worry about the competition for now.” Qin Lang turned to look at Shen Qian, who was lazily sitting by the side, “Didn’t you go to visit Mr. Jiang Guangchen? It’s over?”

“Yeah.” Bringing up her own business, a look of helplessness crossed Shen Qian’s face, “Mr. Jiang Guangchen gave me an assessment requirement that I temporarily can’t fulfill, so he gave me seven days to prepare.”

“Then I returned.” She shrugged.

“I see.” Qin Lang looked interested, “What was the assessment requirement?

Can you disclose it?”

He was curious about the assessment requirement of a second-class Food Recommender even though it wasn’t his test.

“Yes, go ahead and tell me too.” Zhou Tianhao started laughing from the side.

Although he currently didn’t have enough Food Recommender badges to visit Mr. Jiang Guangchen and get his approval, he might have the opportunity in the future.

After all, one of the purposes of his trip to Mingjing Province was to participate in the Provincial Cooking Contest and improve his culinary skills.

“The other party didn’t say to keep it a secret, so I guess I can tell.” Shen Qian propped her cheeks up, “Mr. Jiang’s assessment requirement is somewhat peculiar.”

“After viewing my culinary history through the Spirit Chef Badge, he required me to make a dish that he would be satisfied with, a dish that incorporates sweet flavors.”

“Are you sure it’s a dish, not a dessert?” Zhou Tianhao furrowed his brows slightly.

“Yes, desserts won’t do.” Shen Qian shook her head, “Furthermore, I heard that Mr. Jiang Guangchen actually…”

“Actually what?” Qin Lang couldn’t help but ask.

In the face of their curious glances, Shen Qian slowly spoke.

“Actually, he doesn’t like sweet flavors.”
