“Qin Lang, well done!”

As Qin Lang left the ring and Xiong Zhan prepared to enter, they brushed past each other in the contestant’s passage. Xiong Zhan patted Qin Lang’s shoulder, waving his arm as he spoke.

While he was sitting in the contestant preparation area earlier, he had watched Qin Lang skillfully direct his two Food Spirits to tug at their opponents, nearly shouting in excitement.

He deeply admired Qin Lang’s control of the battle.

“Just luck,” Qin Lang modestly answered, “You also need to give it your all!”

“Okay!” Xiong Zhan subconsciously agreed, then couldn’t resist shrinking his head a bit, “I can only barely last a bit longer in front of Yu Kun. I hope the battle method 1 draw suits me.”

Their conversation ended there. Xiong Zhan waved at Qin Lang and quickly walked towards the battlefield. Qin Lang, on the other hand, headed in the opposite direction, back to the preparation area.

In the passageway on the other side, Yu Kun and Ling Ziye were also quietly conversing.

“Brother Yu Kun, I’m sorry I couldn’t defeat him!” Ling Ziye spoke in a low voice, his face filled with a hint of loss, “I didn’t even force him to use his full strength.”

By this point, he had realized that Qin Lang’s second Food Spirit had purposely not used combined battle skills, and had only used the Instant Teleportation skill for interference. This was clearly a deliberate attempt to hide his strength.

In the face of intentionally concealed strength, he was still defeated.

This dealt a great blow to Ling Ziye, who had always felt that while his talent was inferior to Yu Kun’s, his strength was much greater than that of his other peers.

“No matter, it means that his second Food Spirit must possess a combined battle skill, and the effect of this skill is quite special,” said Yu Kun patting Ling Ziye on the shoulder, “Knowing this much is enough.”

“In the next battle, I will defeat him for you. But after that, you should train even harder.”

“Yes, big brother!” Ling Ziye stood straight up, looking at Yu Kun’s retreating figure with admiration before calling out.

Afterwards, he hurried back to the contestant preparation area, not even looking at Qin Lang as he focused on the competition about to start in the center of the arena.

There were no surprises in the battle between Yu Kun and Xiong Zhan.

The method of battle they drew was Wheel War, and the first Food Spirit that Yu Kun sent out was his three-star Food Spirit.

Just this one Food Spirit completely eliminated both of Xiong Zhan’s Food Spirits!

However, Xiong Zhan’s strength wasn’t weak, so in order to defeat him, Yu Kun revealed even more of his own cards.

His three-star Food Spirit had mastered two double combined battle skills.

Together with the combined battle skill of the other two-star Food Spirit, he possessed a total of three combined battle skills!

The battle ended, and the audience erupted in cheers as loud as a tsunami. Many supporters of Yu Kun even started shouting, “Yu Kun, champion!”

“The battles between the red and blue sides have concluded,” the host’s voice echoed in the venue, “Let us congratulate contestants Qin Lang and Yu Kun for advancing to the winner’s group. They will be competing for the championship title this afternoon!”

“At the same time, let’s give a round of applause to contestants Ling Ziye and Xiong Zhan, who, although did not win, still performed admirably in this morning’s battles! This afternoon, they will be competing for the third place.” “And now!”

The host’s voice paused slightly before dramatically rising, “The winners, contestants Qin Lang and Yu Kun, will receive their second place Starstone rewards!”

“On top of the one they have already absorbed, they will each absorb five at once!”

As soon as the words ended, cheers rose from the venue.

This event, part of every one of these competitions, attracted everyone’s attention at this moment.

And the reason was simple.

Five Starstones could easily upgrade Yu Kun’s second Food Spirit to three stars!

In the span of one afternoon, Yu Kun, both of whose Food Spirits could reach three stars, would have enough time to open the third Star Vein—Tianji, and even…

Birth a new Food Spirit!

Although Qin Lang had displayed astonishing battle techniques during the morning battles, most people still didn’t believe that he could win the championship in the afternoon.

Amid the cheers, the two powerful fighters who had previously appeared escorted an alloy box back onto the stage, distributing the ten Starstones inside to Qin Lang and Yu Kun.

Looking at Yu Kun’s two-star Food Spirit Star, which was shining brightly and then split into three pieces, Qin Lang sighed slightly.

Although he had anticipated this, the pressure he felt at that moment was still overwhelming.

After dividing the five Starstones between his two little Spirits for absorption, he returned the Starstone and went to the audience seats to look for Zhou Tianhao.

But Yu Kun moved even faster than him.

After the Starstone was absorbed, he almost immediately left the competition venue.

Seeing this made Qin Lang feel even more pressured.

“Pressure is what gives you motivation.” Zhou Tianhao calmly took a bite of his dish and glanced at the somewhat unnatural-looking Qin Lang.

“Reliable research shows that Food Spirits improve faster when under pressure, which is often the cause of breakthroughs during battles.”

“Huff-” Qin Lang let out a heavy breath, his expression gradually relaxing, “I’ve gotten this far, might as well go for broke!”

With that, he picked up his chopsticks, grabbing the dish in front of him to eat voraciously along with the rice.

Only after eating well, could he have the strength to battle!

“Wow, you two are already eating!” Shen Qian pushed open the room and saw the scene, pouting unhappily, “You didn’t even wait for me.”

“Didn’t you say it would take you some time to come over, and that we should start first?” Qin Lang rolled his eyes.

“That was just me being polite, don’t you get it?” Shen Qian took her spot at the table without hesitation, grabbing her bowl and chopsticks to fight Qin Lang for the food.

“Don’t rush. We still have a few dishes that haven’t come out yet. We’re specifically waiting for you to start.” Zhou Tianhao pressed the bell in front of him. Soon after, the waiter brought over dish after dish of gourmet food.

“Brother Zhou, this meal is costing you quite a lot.” Shen Qian took a glance at the dishes and a surprised expression surfaced on her face, “This Chun Man Lou is already the best restaurant in Lanqiu City, and you even ordered all the signature dishes.”

“Just consider it a pre-celebration,” Zhou Tianhao smiled.

“Then I can eat this meal with total justification.” Shen Qian beamed.

“Did you pass Mr. Jiang Guangchen’s test?” Qin Lang asked, looking up as he heard this.

“I have to thank you for that.” Shen Qian nodded, taking out a silver-backed badge from her bosom and showing it, “If it wasn’t for the inspiration your roasted duck gave me, it wouldn’t have been easy to complete the test in seven days.”

“Even without that hint, your chances of passing would still have been great.” Qin Lang shook his head, refusing to take any credit.

He had tasted Shen Qian’s unsatisfied dishes. She was only lacking some guidance.

“Regardless, you helped me get this badge. Here you go! Borrow it for a few days!” Shen Qian happily handed Qin Lang the badge.

“That won’t be necessary.”

Qin Lang laughed heartily, all the pressure from the impending battle against Yu Kun instantaneously dissolved.
