Gourmet Style Beast Taming

323  Chapter 323: Hidden

Neither Qin Lang nor Zhou Tianhao ask what Shen Qian understood after tasting the Zhou Black Duck.

After everyone had a full meal, Shen Qian once again locked herself in the kitchen and continued her cooking practice.

From her refreshed appearance, it seemed that this round of practice was yielding some results.

Time flew by, and quickly it was the next morning.

The second round of the Lanqiu City Youth Training Competition, ranking games, would take place today.

Walking out from his room after washing up, Qin Lang saw Shen Qian with dark circles under her eyes at the dining table.

"You've… been up all night?" Qin Lang blinked.

"Yes!" Although Shen Qian looked somewhat haggard, her energy was exceptionally high, and her eyes were bright, "I've prepared the dish to counter Mr. Jiang Guangchen's challenge!"

"Keeping the iron hot, I am going to visit Mr. Jiang Guangchen after breakfast!" Shen Qian's voice was full of enthusiasm, however, that was followed by some embarrassment, "But that means I won't be able to watch your game."

"I'll watch it on your behalf." Zhou Tianhao smiled as he carried various dishes out from the kitchen, "Today it's my turn to cook. I made you guys a sure-win breakfast. Give it a try!"

Looking at the word "Sure-Win" formed by various dishes and sauces, Qin Lang and Shen Qian were momentarily silent.

This sure-win breakfast was highly abstract.

"If all goes well, I should be able to get to the arena to watch your match against Yu Kun this afternoon!" Shen Qian said as she took a bite of her breakfast, "Hmm? The taste is better than expected!"

"Hahaha, after all, I do have a Second-Level Food Recommender Badge," Zhou Tianhao scratched his head with a laugh.

In the cheerful dining atmosphere, the three quickly finished their breakfast and parted ways.

Shen Qian went alone to visit Mr. Jiang Guangchen at his residence again, while Qin Lang and Zhou Tianhao headed to the Lanqiu Arena together for the second round of the Youth Training Competition.

Before long, the two arrived at the arena.

"Brother Zhou, I'll go first." Qin Lang stepped onto the player passage entrance and waved to Zhou Tianhao.

"Don't forget the tactics we discussed!" Zhou Tianhao cupped his hands around his mouth like a loudspeaker and shouted. Hearing the faint reply from inside the passage, he then calmly stepped into the audience passage.

He had a calm smile on his face.

If Qin Lang followed the tactics he had pointed out over the past two days, even against the breakthrough Yu Kun, he would have a 20% chance of winning.

The question was whether or not Qin Lang could seize this 20% chance of victory.

Zhou Tianhao pulled out his ticket from his pocket and began to search for his seat.

"Fourth row... sixty-seven... ah, found it!"

...

"Ladies and Gentlemen!"

The host's impassioned voice came from the speakers placed all around the venue at the same time, silencing the somewhat restless venue instantly.

"Welcome to the venue of the Lanqiu City Youth Training Competition. Four exceptional contestants have advanced to the ranking competition, relying on their hard work and strong abilities showcased in the selection battles!"

"They are——"

"Contestant Yu Kun, the only one with a three-star Food Spirit in this competition, considered the hot favourite to win!"

"Contestant Qin Lang, who came from Tianhua State, turned heads at the Leaping Fish Banquet and then joined the youth training competition!"

"Contestant Ling Ziye, who has fought over a hundred Spirit Battles with a winning ratio of seventy-three percent at the same level!"

"Contestant Bear Battle from Xieyu City, who advanced to the ranking competition with his powerful combination of combat skills!"

Each time the host mentioned a contestant's name, the corresponding contestant would walk out from the player passage, and the audience seats would burst into applause and cheers. You could even faintly hear the voices of many audience members shouting the contestant's name.

The four contestants stood side by side, with a look of helplessness on Bear Battle's face.

Among the four, his introduction was the least impressive.

But he couldn't blame the organizers of the competition, because, before participating in this youth training competition, he truly didn't have any noticeable honors.

As the four players took the stage, the host's voice suddenly escalated, leading the atmosphere in the venue to its hottest moment, "Today! These four contestants will compete for the ranking of this Youth Training Tournament, witnessed by all of us!"

"The champion's crown is up for grabs, it all comes down to this moment!"

"Let's give a loud round of applause and welcome to the battlefield, Red team's contestants Qin Lang and Ling Ziye! Meanwhile, Yu Kun and Xiong Zhan, please return to the contestant preparation seats and wait!"

The applause in the venue became more and more passionate, and the cheering almost lifted the roof off the building.

With the temporary departure of Yu Kun and Xiong Zhan, all eyes fell on Qin Lang and Ling Ziye.

The big screen suddenly dimmed, and then rapidly scrolling entries appeared in the central part.

Next, the mode of their battle would be drawn.

The swiftly rolling entries were fixed by the host with a loud shout.

[Full Lineup Combination Battle]

"I will show you the price of arrogance!" Ling Ziye raised his hand, making a throat-slashing gesture towards Qin Lang.

His face was full of arrogance.

The Full Lineup Combination Battle means a two against two!

This type of fight would maximize his advantage, even luck was on his side!

He couldn't think of any reason why he might lose!

Ling Ziye's provocative action was seen by everyone through the big screen's close-up shot, immediately intensifying the screams and cheers.

Clearly, everyone was looking forward to the upcoming battle.

Qin Lang gave Ling Ziye a strange look, then silently walked to one side of the competition venue to prepare.

"Hmph!" Being ignored by Qin Lang again made Ling Ziye feel as if he was punching cotton, he let out a grunt and swiftly walked to the other side of the field.

Yu Kun's words echoed in his mind.

In this case, let power prove everything!

A Spirit Executor appeared in the center of the field, serving as the referee for the battle.

Looking at both sides of the competition, once he confirmed both were ready, he counted down five seconds, then blew the whistle hanging from his chest.

"Whistle——"

The sharp sound cut through the space, echoing for a long time in the competition venue which had suddenly fallen quiet.

On the battlefield, both sides gave their instructions the moment the whistle sounded!

Zhou Tianhao's tip reverberated in Qin Lang's mind.

"If you want to triumph against Yu Kun with weaker strength, the key lies in Spicy's Combination Combat Skill Instantaneous Flash Tooth Mark. In the case where this Combination Combat Skill is unknown to the other party, it can work more effectively unexpectedly."

"To achieve this, try your best to hide Spicy's power while battling against Ling Ziye, and let the opponent focus on Dan Bao, who has already revealed his strength."

"Tactics, too, are part of a battle!"

Tactics are also part of a battle...

Qin Lang's eyes gleamed as he calmly spoke.

"Dan Bao, crush them! Spicy, use teleport interference!"

"Gulu!"

With a loud cry from Dan Bao, one after another golden luminous sphere about the size of a knuckle appeared around it, much like a cluster of stars surrounding it, charging at its opponent.

The figure of Spicy flashed, appearing behind the opponent like a goblin.

The battle situation is about to explode!
