The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 458 Egg Baby's All-Out Effort!
"Shuda!"

Tornado's cry of pain brought Tang Yu back to her senses.

Dark red flames erupted from the tornado's body, and when the flames dissipated, charred marks appeared on its body.

Prior to this, Eggbaby had already activated [Body of Vengeful Flames], and actively ran into Tornado's attack, triggering the Vengeful Flames' counterattack effect and successfully triggering a 50% chance of [Burning]!
Then, something even more unexpected happened to Tang Yu.

Egg Baby actually withstood the attack of the [Wave Water Cannon] and crashed into Tornado like a fireball!

Tornado's speed surpasses that of Egg Baby.

If Eggball had used [Flame Charge] normally, Tornado could have easily dodged it at this distance. But Eggball chose the wrong time, when Tornado was using [Wave Water Cannon]!
So, Tornado still couldn't dodge this attack!

"boom!!!"

With a burst of flames, Eggball crashed heavily into Tornado. Both of them let out a scream, but Tornado's scream was clearly more miserable, and her entire body was sent flying backward once again.

"Well done!" Qin Lang couldn't help but swing his fist forcefully in the air, his eyes gleaming with barely suppressed excitement.

He was incredibly lucky with this attack!

Not only did the [Burning] status, which had only a 50% chance of being applied, successfully inflict the damage on the opponent, but the flames also brightened noticeably at the last moment, a sign that Egg Baby's [Second Strike] ability had taken effect!

Therefore, this attack not only caused Tornado to suffer double the power of [Raging Flame Charge], but also an additional 50% damage and 30% damage from the [Fear] effect.

Even with the taste attribute countering the damage reduction by half, it's still quite considerable!
"Use plenty of energy!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Lang quickly issued the order, "Use the hot zone simultaneously!"

"Gulu!!!"

Egg Baby, having achieved a decisive victory, let out a shout, his Fighting-type energy surging around him, rapidly restoring his almost depleted stamina.

Without hesitation, fire energy surged, quickly forming a large, scorching area around it, hot enough to distort the air.

"Such high stamina and defense." Tang Yu's expression turned serious.

In a flash, she had figured out everything that had just happened.

Although Egg and Tornado are 18 levels apart, one is a three-star and the other is a four-star.

The power boost from star-level advancement is much greater than that from level advancement, so the difference between the two is not as exaggerated as that between Tornado and Spicy.

At this moment, Tornado is still under the [Fear] abnormal status caused by the [Fearful Gaze] from the scorching heat, which reduces damage by 15%.

Egg Baby used a "Warm-up Exercise" once, increasing its defense by 10 points. If it has high stamina and defense, it is not impossible to withstand a skill with an attribute advantage without losing its combat ability.

However... the physical strength and defense required are quite astonishing!
Tang Yu did a quick mental calculation and was shocked by Egg Baby's attributes.

Given that Lala had just displayed extraordinary speed, she had decided to ask what had happened after this battle.

But now…

Tang Yu looked at Tornado, who had regained her footing.

The previous attack from Lala didn't inflict serious injuries on Tatsumaki, only consuming about 10% of her stamina.

This is even considering that Tornado's physical strength is not particularly high.

However, the damage caused by Egg Baby's attack was much greater than Tang Yu had anticipated, directly reducing Tornado's remaining stamina to less than 60%.

We need to end this battle as soon as possible!

"Tornado, use Psychic Power!"

Tang Yu's Food Spirits didn't focus on a single attribute, so Tornado, a four-star Food Spirit, awakened five combat skills covering four attributes: wind, water, earth, and spirit. And coincidentally…

These four attributes happen to be the four attributes that counter fire.

If the [Wave Water Cannon] failed to defeat Egg Baby, it was because Tang Yu's damage estimate was unexpected.

Then this even more powerful [Mental Strength] would be enough to directly take away Egg Baby, who was already not at his peak!

Sensing the rapidly approaching killing intent from the void, Qin Lang and Danbao's eyes simultaneously blazed with fierce fighting spirit.

The final blow...

Then, let's go!
"Egg Baby, make your move!"

With Qin Lang's shout, Egg Baby, who had been silently preparing after casting [Hot Zone], responded and moved.

A fireball, like a shooting star, instantly gathered in mid-air.

Then, the second one!
Then, the third one!!

On the "Leaping Fish" cruise ship, Zhong Lingyun had instructed Egg Baby on the combat skill "Flame Meteor," enabling Egg Baby to master the technique of firing two shots in quick succession.

However, this is not the limit of this technique!

With superior strength, [Flame Meteor] can be used more frequently in quick succession, and Egg Baby, who has just broken through to three stars, barely has the qualifications to try it!

This was Qin Lang and Danbao's first attempt, but fortunately, thanks to Danbao's proficiency in the technique, they succeeded!

As the powerful mental energy blasted towards Egg Baby, three meteor-like flames shot down towards the tornado below, as if chasing stars and the moon.

Fire-type combat skill [Flame Meteor], initial power of this type is 80!

With the boost from [Hot Zone], the power of this combat skill directly reached 90 points, and under [Burning], it doubled again, ultimately reaching an astonishing 180 points!
Egg Baby's attack, after the initial [Warm-up Exercise] boost, has increased from 60 to 70 points. The [Raging Charge] skill's [Berserk] state upon completion further increases the attack by 20%, reaching 84!

Add to that the 30% extra damage from the [Fear] effect and the triple damage from the three-hit combo, and Egg Baby's attack can truly be described as earth-shattering!

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Three explosions followed in quick succession, and the bursts of flame nearly engulfed the entire battlefield.

Amidst the flames, a streak of light flew out and returned to Qin Lang's star vein.

That was Egg Baby, who was directly hit by [Mental Strength] and eventually exhausted all his strength, losing all his fighting ability.

The flames subsided, and the tornado collapsed to the ground, but it managed to shakily rise back into the air.

This made Qin Lang feel a pang of regret.

Unfortunately, Egg Baby's final attack failed to trigger the "Second Strike" effect again, otherwise it could have ended in a draw.

But regardless, he's already quite proud of himself for being able to achieve this level of victory against a level 48 Food Spirit.

"A truly memorable battle." Tang Yu retrieved the tornado back into the Star Vein and strode towards Qin Lang. "It was my carelessness."

Tang Yu was not without a way to deal with the situation just now.

If she uses the field combat technique "Gentle Breeze Stop" instead of "Mental Power" to slow down flying objects and control the field, even if Egg uses "Flame Meteor", Tornado can easily retreat.

With the advantage of level, this battle can be won more easily.

Ultimately, it was because Egg Baby's level was relatively low that she never considered adopting a conservative and defensive strategy.
