The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 280 Food Spirits...A Super Renewal!

"almost."

Fatima saw this and adjusted her glasses.

"Raru, use Erosion of Water."

"Rusha!"

Fatima's food spirit responded and quickly gathered a ball of azure water, which transformed into a huge water film that covered the surface of all the fallen rocks.

Zhao Qian, standing to the side, looked thoughtful. "If I remember correctly, the effect of this combat skill..."

“The Erosion of Water inflicts the Vulnerable status on any target it touches,” Fatima said calmly. “The Vulnerable status can significantly reduce an opponent’s defense, and this effect also applies to rocks.”

"It can effectively erode rocks, making them easier to break."

As Fatima's voice faded, Laru had already removed the water membrane.

The rocks appear unchanged, but closer inspection reveals that the cracks that have been created are faintly shimmering with a light blue light, indicating that they have been affected by the [Vulnerable] effect.

"Egg Baby, let's do it again!"

Qin Lang took a deep breath, "Use Flame Charge!"

"Gurgle..." Egg Baby tried to summon flames to surround itself, but the next moment it showed a painful expression, and the flames began to wander wildly without its control.

"Egg Baby?!" Qin Lang's expression changed.

“Three Warm-up Exercises have already pushed your Food Spirit to its limit.” Fatima glanced at Egg Baby and said, not surprised, “Using Flame Charge under these circumstances is very difficult.”

"That last round of attacks was almost its limit. It won't be able to return to normal until the warm-up effect wears off."

Qin Lang looked enlightened.

This was his first time using [Flame Charge], and he thought that this combat skill combined with [Warm-up Exercise] would be a game-changer, but now it seems he was a bit naive.

"I'll do it," a calm voice said.

Lomi walked up from behind, step by step. Beside her, two food spirits had high fighting spirit in their eyes.

"Palo, use [Inspiring Beat]."

"PaloPalo!"

Lomi's second food spirit, Palo, responded, and two light purple drumsticks made of concentrated mental energy appeared in front of him, which began to rhythmically and rapidly strike in the air.

Amidst the rapid, adrenaline-pumping drumbeats, streams of mental energy flew toward Lai, causing his aura to visibly increase.

Qin Lang glanced at Luo Mi in surprise and took out his phone.

"drop--"

[Type: Spirit Eater]

[Level: Lv7]

【Taste attribute: spicy】

Elemental Attribute: Spirit

[Culinary Techniques: Aromatic Specialty Blends]

[Combat Skills (excluding self-learned combat skills): (Mental) Inspiring Rhythm]

[Experience Value: 5/100]

Is this Lomi's second food spirit?
The mental combat skill [Inspiring Rhythm] is a very special combat skill. Unlike general amplification combat skills that enhance oneself, this skill enhances teammates.

By the time the drumbeats ended, Lei's breath had reached its peak.

"Deliberate, rapid punches, in quick succession!" Lomi shouted in a low voice.

"Smash all these broken stones to pieces!"

"Jie Jie!"

Ray responded and instantly rushed to the falling rocks, throwing a punch at the crack.
-
"boom!!!"

With a low, booming sound, the figures of the seven food spirits were sent flying backward before returning to Zhong Lingyun's side. Compared to when they first appeared, the auras of the seven food spirits were visibly weakened. The purple spiritual fire on one of them was slowly dissipating, revealing an extremely tired expression. Finally, it transformed into a stream of light and returned to Zhong Lingyun's star vein.

On the other hand, the leaping fish on the other side seemed to be unaffected, with the weakening of its aura almost imperceptible.

“Is the gap so big?”

Zhong Lingyun grinned, his eyes still filled with intense fighting spirit as he looked at the Leaping Fish. "It seems you're even more difficult to deal with than I imagined!"

"Alas...what a pity."

Seeing this scene from afar, Li Yuantu couldn't help but sigh.

“Zhong Lingyun’s Burning Spirit Flame is a Secret Essence Flame.”

"If it were another type of fire, it might have a better effect."

The three different types of burning spirit power have different amplification effects.

The amplification effect of Mystic Fire is to enhance the attribute advantage relationship. When its own attribute has an advantage over the opponent, the effect is far superior to the other two types of fire.

As the regional champion, Zhong Lingyun's seven Food Spirits have an almost impeccable attribute ratio. In the final battle that won him this honor, he brought attribute advantage to the extreme, which is still praised to this day.

However, the Secret Element Fire is the least effective of the three types of Spirit Burning Fire against legendary creatures.

Legend has it that the attributes of living beings cannot be measured. It is generally believed that they have no attributes or possess all attributes, making them impossible to restrain.

Whether it's Flame of Flame or Flame of War, both aim to enhance the strength of the Food Spirits, and whether they are restrained or not, they can still play a role.

Secret Fire is almost ineffective when it doesn't counter the opponent.

Zhong Lingyun was also aware of this, so she chose a Food Spirit with the widest attribute advantage and added Secret Fire, hoping it would have an effect.

But the reality is disappointing.

"Is there really no other way?" Qi Bing couldn't help but ask.

When Zhong Lingyun took action, she almost thought that this catastrophe would be easily resolved, but reality gave her a harsh slap in the face.

Even Zhong Lingyun seemed unable to do anything about the other party.

"Yes, there is." Li Yuantu took a deep breath. "Activating all seven star meridians will grant you the third spirit control skill of the Spirit Chef."

"If Zhong Lingyun can master it, there might be hope."

“Then…” Qi Bing’s eyes lit up again, but Li Yuantu quickly poured cold water on them.

"The third spirit control skill has extremely demanding conditions for its execution. As far as I know, Zhong Lingyun did not master it when he became the regional champion."

"As for now..."

Li Yuantu looked at Zhong Lingyun not far away, a solemn expression appearing in his eyes, "The time is too short, he most likely still hasn't mastered it."

“No.” Sang Ran said in a deep voice, “Besides the third spirit control skill, there are other possibilities in this world that belong to the spirit-eating category.”

“Yuan Tu, take a look at what Zhong Lingyun is wearing on his hand.”

"Ok?"

Li Yuantu looked in that direction, and then his pupils contracted.

That is…

"Such a tough opponent, we'll have to treat him well." Zhong Lingyun looked at the leaping fish in the air and gently stroked his gloves.

At the center of the glove, a hexagonal colored gemstone shines brightly.

"Tiger, are you ready?"

"Roar!" Zhong Lingyun's first food spirit, a powerful food spirit shaped like a fierce tiger, let out a deafening roar, its eyes filled with fierce fighting spirit.

"Now that you're ready..."

A burning light blazed in Zhong Lingyun's eyes. "Then let the fragments of the initial oath bear witness to our bond!"

"Food Spirits... completely revamped!!!"
