“Dan Bao, do you know what a Spirit Battle is?”

“Gudoo?”

Hearing Qin Lang’s question, Dan Bao’s yolky face turns left and right.

He’s just a newly born Egg Fried Rice Food Spirit, how could he know about this?contemporary romance

“The so-called Spirit Battle is using your combat skills to fight against your opponents.” Qin Lang caressed Dan Bao’s soft ears, “Through battles, you can grow faster and advance into a Two-star Food Spirit.”

After hearing this, Dan Bao’s yolky face starts to oscillate, and his eyes light up.

“Guludoo!”

It doesn’t matter whether he fights or not, he wants to quickly become a Two-star Food Spirit!

Just like animals need to eat to grow, upgrading their star level is an instinct for Food Spirits.

Seeing that Dan Bao is not averse to fighting, Qin Lang breathes a sigh of relief, and gestures to Zhao Chen, who is already standing on the battlefield with his arms crossed and an arrogant look on his face, and his Food Spirit, “This is our opponent in the next battle.”

“Duloo?”

With a serious expression, Dan Bao’s small face gazes intently at the white Food Spirit next to Zhao Chen which has plush fur and two goat horns on its head.

Is this his next opponent?

It seems to be quite formidable.

But with Qin Lang there, it will definitely not lose to the other party!

“Gudoo Gudoo!”

“In that case, let’s put our fullest effort to win this battle together!”

A battle spirit also appears in Qin Lang’s eyes.

The kind of battle where Food Spirits fight each other?

Although he wasn’t very interested before, standing on the stage right now, he is somewhat excited and hopeful.

“Qin Lang, are you ready?”

Seeing Qin Lang and Dan Bao stepping onto the battlefield, Zhao Chen shouts loudly.

Before Qin Lang could answer, the referee who had been waiting by the side annoyed said, “Boy, you stole my line.”

He briskly takes a few steps to the center of the field, reviews both sides of the contestants and says, “I’m Jiang Gang, the referee of the 5th battle field. Before the Spirit Battle starts, I want to reiterate the rules.”

“The 5th Spiritual Battle field is a beginner’s field, only suitable for one-star and two-star Food Spirits to fight.”

“Since both of you only have one Food Spirit, the rules of this Spirit Battle are simple. When one side cannot continue to fight or concedes defeat, it is considered a loss, while the other party wins.”

“Any questions?”

Qin Lang and Zhao Chen shake their heads at the same time.

“In that case…” Jiang Gang fiddles with the whistle hanging on his neck, “Get ready!”

“Tian Shu, lend me your strength, protect!”

As Jiang Gang’s voice falls, Zhao Chen shouts, and a splendid Seven Star Map emerges behind him. The moment the Seven Star Map appears, energy storms appear in circles around him, looking phenomenally cool.

Only the first star in the Seven Star Map behind Zhao Chen is glowing, all the other six stars are dim.

The same Seven Star Map appears in his eyes, and the Seven Star Map behind him shines for a moment, then turns into a transparent light membrane that envelops Zhao Chen. It protects Zhao Chen like an eggshell.

Seeing Zhao Chen’s transformation, Qin Lang’s eyes shimmer with an eccentric light.

Food Spirits have skills, just as Spirit Chefs have their own abilities, which are the Spirit Master Techniques.

Every Spirit Chef’s body harbors seven Star Veins. Aside from the Tian Shu Star Vein that opens naturally, the subsequent Star Veins need to be opened gradually with the help of a Food Spirit’s power.

When the first, fourth, and seventh Star Veins are opened and a contract with a Food Spirit has been formed, a Spirit Chef can respectively acquire a Spirit Master Technique.

What Zhao Chen is showing right now is the first Spirit Master Technique, Star Spirit Protection.

This ability can provide a shield for the Spirit Chef to prevent them from being affected by the Food Spirit’s battle, and also share senses with the Food Spirit to ensure timely communication during battle.

It is the basis for Spirit Battles.

And through the memory of his original body, Qin Lang understood how to use it as well.

“Tian Shu, lend your strength, guard!”

Qin Lang calmly spoke, and in the next moment, the same Seven Star Map spread out behind him, enveloping him all over.

Under the Star Spirit Protection, he shared senses with Dan Bao, his reaction speed reaching a level of synchrony with Dan Bao. He could react instantaneously in the midst of complex battles and give Dan Bao combat instructions.

Qin Lang looked at the somewhat nervous Dan Bao floating in front of him.

“Don’t be nervous, the opponent is also a one-star Food Spirit like you, only with one combat skill.”

“If you win this battle, the 1,000 points earned are all for you to make yummy food!”

“Gululu!”

Thinking about the delicious Egg Fried Rice made Dan Bao’s fighting spirit shoot up to the extreme in an instant!

…

“Weiwei, a battlefield is vacant, we can start the Spirit Battle now!”

A girl ran excitedly to another girl, “The Yuan Feng Cooking Training Class is truly effective. Within half a year, it made me successfully summon my first Food Spirit. I’ve been looking forward to this day for so long!”

“Eh? What are you watching?”

Du Weiwei watched another battlefield, “That boy seems to belong to the Zhao family.”

“The Zhao family that possesses the inherited recipe ‘Boiling Mutton’?” The girl’s face showed interesting expressions, “It’s said that with family recipes, just practicing enough can result in the stable summoning of Food Spirits, but such recipes are often very precious.”

She looked curiously and soon noticed the other person on the battlefield, “Eh? Why is he there too?”

“Do you know the opponent’s Zhao family member?”

“Previously at the Yuan Feng Cooking Training Class, we learned cooking together. He dropped out a while ago. It’s said that he has been to four different training courses and has been learning to cook for five years, but he still couldn’t summon a Food Spirit.” The girl’s gaze fell on the Food Spirit in front of the boy, “I thought he had gone to other training institutes, but it seems he has summoned a Food Spirit successfully after all.”

Listening to her companion, Du Weiwei looked at Qin Lang, “So Xiaoyu, who do you think will win?”

“The one from the Zhao family.” Qi Xiaoyu answered without thinking, “After all, his Food Spirit came from the family recipe.”

“Then shall we wait until this battle is over before we start ours?”

“Sure, I have already reserved a battlefield. A little delay won’t hurt.”

They talked as they walked briskly towards the battlefield where Qin Lang and Zhao Chen were.

…

“Countdown to three, Spirit Battle begins.”

After both sides had activated their Star Spirit Protection, Jiang Gang shouted loudly and began the countdown.

“Three…”

“Dan Bao, don’t rush to use your combat skill. Try if you can trick the opponent into revealing theirs first.” Qin Lang initiated a spiritual conversation with Dan Bao, “We each only have one combat skill. Whoever exposes it first will suffer the greater loss.”

Dan Bao’s eyes lit up.

It turned out that this was also an important aspect of battles.

His Spiritual Chef is really capable!

Got it!

“Two…”

“Yangyang, this is our first battle. Let’s trample the opponent market!” Zhao Chen was waving his fists, his eyes glowing with raging fighting spirit, the entire person seemed to be on fire.

Starting from this battle, let’s build our unbeatable legend!

“Pula!”

The Food Spirit belonging to Zhao Chen responded with a grunt, showing dancing flames in its eyes.

It glared aggressively at Dan Bao, who glared back unyieldingly.

A spark of lightning seemed to flash through the void!

“One! Beep–”

The second the countdown ended, a sharp whistle cut through the sky.

The Spirit Battle officially begins!
