The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 318 A sudden turn of events
"Bubu, use Frostflower Storm!"

With a low shout from Zhao Qian, ice crystals surged around Bubu, who appeared in front of Bai Xue. These crystals then transformed into a raging storm that instantly engulfed Bubu and Bai Xue in front of her!

"This is…"

Qin Lang couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He had sparred with Zhao Qian many times, so he was naturally familiar with the ice-type combat skill [Frost Flower Storm]. However, the [Frost Flower Storm] that Bubu was using at this moment made him feel unfamiliar and surprised.

This ranged attack skill seems to have been completely changed, not only bursting out instantly, but also making it impossible for the opponent to dodge.

"Is this the effect after Mr. Zhong Lingyun's guidance...?" Qin Lang took a deep breath, a hint of anticipation appearing in his eyes.

He wanted to see what other surprises Zhao Qian could bring.

"In-depth development of combat techniques?" Zhang Qian's surprise deepened.

He really didn't expect that Zhao Qian had already mastered such a skill.

"Snow White, use Freeze Beam!"

"Whoa!"

A faint response came from the snow amidst the wind and frost, followed by a streak of icy white light that tore through the storm and struck Bubu squarely.

"Click——"

With the sound of ice forming, the frost storm came to an abrupt halt, and Bubu floated in the air, its body now covered with a thick layer of ice crystals.

That's the "frozen" state caused by the "Freeze Beam".

This state will last for a full 10 seconds!
"It's time to end this!" Zhang Qian said in a low voice, glancing at Bai Xue, whose aura was somewhat weak, his eyes narrowing slightly.

How can a two-star weapon deal such high damage to a three-star weapon of the same attribute?

Something's not right...

Could it be...

[Ultra-low temperature] Features? !

Zhang Qian's eye twitched, and a hint of relief appeared on his face.

If it's truly an extremely low temperature, there's a pretty good chance of winning.

Unfortunately, this little girl was a bit too reckless.

"Snow White, keep attacking!"

"Whoosh!" Bai Xue responded, quickly conjuring a huge, icy-white blade of light, which slashed heavily at the immobilized Bubu.

"Click——"

With a shattering sound, the frozen cloth was instantly cut in two, falling from the sky to the ground and shattering into pieces.

Uh-huh?!
Zhang Qian's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart tightened. "This is bad!"

"Bai Xue, step back!"

"Too late!" Zhao Qian clenched her fist tightly. "Let it see our power."

"Bubu, use Ice Flower Spin!"

"Buyi!"

A loud shout came from above Bai Xue's head, and Bu Bu's figure reappeared. At the same time, flowers formed from condensed ice crystals appeared around Bai Xue, completely blocking all her movement paths.

"Wow!" Cao Dongdong couldn't help but exclaim.

He had already begun to feel sorry for Zhao Qian's failed challenge.

Surprisingly, there was a new turning point?

"What operation is this?"

"This..." Qin Lang looked equally bewildered.

This time, even he couldn't figure out how Zhao Qian did it.

Ice-type combat techniques don't seem to have any Stand-type abilities, right?
“It’s the Shadow Mirror.” Fatima pushed up her glasses and looked at the few inconspicuous ice mirrors at the edge of the arena. “This combat technique is very uncommon, and more importantly, it’s quite different from ordinary combat techniques.”

"To use this combat technique effectively, one needs to constantly experiment and research the refraction of light, which requires a great deal of effort." "But if used well, it can create an effect similar to a mirage through the refraction of light."

"There are actually combat techniques like this." Qin Lang was somewhat astonished, and his gaze towards Zhao Qian held a hint of admiration.

This guy has been secretly training the food spirits quite a bit.

While Qin Lang and the others were exchanging words, the battle situation on the field was reversed by Bu Bu's unexpected reappearance. Under the cutting of countless ice crystal flowers, Bai Xue let out a painful scream, and her life force rapidly declined.

Ice-based combat skill: [Ice Flower Whirlwind].

This combat skill has the same power of 90 points as the [Freeze Beam], and once it is completed, it can trap the opponent like a cage.

The only drawback is that it has a high wind-up, requiring you to build up momentum in advance, and this building-up process cannot be interrupted.

Bubu successfully bought himself time to strike by using the confusing effect of [Shadow Mirror].

"Buyi!"

Without giving Snow White any chance to retaliate, the instant after [Ice Flower Whirlwind] ended, Bubu rushed up and unleashed a [Frost Flower Storm].

When the storm subsided, the snow had transformed into a streak of light and returned to Zhang Qian's star vein.

"Won!"

Zhao Qian took a deep breath, hugged Bubu tightly as she flew back, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

She won her first Spirit Master assessment!

"Pah~pah~pah~"

Zhang Qian smiled and clapped, walking step by step toward Zhao Qian.

"A very impressive battle." He looked at Zhao Qian with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. "Many can obtain the Spirit Bearer's Badge from me, but very few Spirit Chefs can win with a two-star Food Spirit."

"Your abilities have earned my recognition."

"If possible, I would like to upload the video of this match to the official website. You can receive half of the fees paid by other fans for downloading the battle video as your own profit. At the same time, you can also receive notifications when other fans comment on the video."

Are you willing to do this?

“Of course!” Zhao Qian nodded without hesitation.

Uploading the battle process means revealing one's strength and trump cards for Spirit Masters, but for Zhao Qian, who is still a newbie, this is not important.

The revenue from paid video downloads was not important to Zhao Qian.

But the comments from other fans of the game are very important.

Many skilled spirit enthusiasts enjoy watching videos of spirit challengers and then selecting some to comment on and analyze.

These reviews and debriefings contain a lot of valuable insights.

This means that if Zhao Qian agrees to upload the video, she may receive more guidance and suggestions from the chefs.

“Okay.” Zhang Qian nodded and smiled. He had already decided to use this battle video as material to guide the Spirit Fighting Academy in the future.

"This is my Spirit Bearer's Emblem." Zhang Qian took out a Spirit Bearer's Emblem from his pocket and solemnly handed it to Zhao Qian.

"Now, it belongs to you."

"Yay!" Zhao Qian excitedly took it and held it high above her head. "I got my first Spirit Bearer's Badge!"

"Tch, this guy," Cao Dongdong couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "He calls me a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), but he's not much better himself."

"You rascal." Qin Lang shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and looked at Zhao Qian as she walked off the battlefield. "Congratulations."

"Hehe~" Zhao Qian grinned, "Why don't you give it a try?"

"That's a good idea," Zhang Qian chuckled.

"What do you mean, 'can't'?" Xue Yi, standing to the side, was both amused and exasperated. "You rascal, the Food Spirits have lost their ability to fight, shouldn't they rest for a while?"

The Spirit Bearer assessment cannot be conducted continuously.

"Let's proceed with my assessment first." As she spoke, Xue Yi looked at Qin Lang, her eyes filled with anticipation. "I'm looking forward to your dishes."

"Okay." Qin Lang smiled slightly and nodded emphatically.
