The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 460 Spicy New Combat Techniques
"boom--"

With a dull thud, Tuantuan landed heavily on the ground under Bai Ji's continuous slashes, and then transformed into a stream of light and flew back into Cao Dongdong's star vein.

This battle ended at an unimaginable speed.

Right at the start of the game, Tuantuan was hit directly by Bai Ji's instant-cast [Snowflakes] and suffered the slowing effect of [Frost Knot].

He was then hit repeatedly by Bai Ji's [Frosty Blade] as she closed in, interspersed with several other self-taught combat skills.

Completely stunned, Tuantuan hastily activated [Scale Earth Shield], but unfortunately, the elemental advantage made it unable to withstand the opponent's attack, and it ultimately lost its ability to fight in a completely crushing defeat.

"Your combat experience is too limited." Tang Yu frowned as he looked at Cao Dongdong after recalling Bai Ji. "Tuan Tuan is at a higher level. She clearly had many opportunities to counterattack just now."

"But your misjudgment caused it to lose its chance."

"From now on, you need to intensify your combat training."

"Huh?!" Cao Dongdong immediately looked miserable, while Qin Lang and Zhao Qian couldn't help but chuckle.

When it comes to fighting, Tang Yu is persistent and strict, so you can imagine that Cao Dongdong will have a tough time in the coming days.

"You two too." Tang Yu turned and glared at Qin Lang and Zhao Qian. "Although you performed well in this battle."

"But the combat experience of the Spirit Chef and the Food Spirit needs to be honed and improved through battle after battle, so from now on, we need to take time out every day to have one or two sparring sessions."

Upon hearing this, Qin Lang and Zhao Qian immediately stopped laughing.

One to two sparring sessions a day...

Although they had sparred at this frequency before, they knew that the intensity of the sparring Tang Yu was talking about was completely different.

"Huh?" Qin Lang's expression suddenly changed slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he gently stroked the Tianxuan Star Vein located between his eyebrows, summoning Lala, who had recovered to her peak condition.

Egg Baby, who was also knocked back into the Star Pulse, is still less than 10% recovered, but Spicy has recovered completely so quickly.

“It should have leveled up.” Tang Yu glanced at Lala and quickly realized what had happened. “Lala was already Lv19, and the Star Power it gained in that battle should have been just enough for it to level up.”

"The immense power of its advancement to the second star allowed its stamina to recover to its peak state ahead of schedule, which is why it awakened prematurely."

As she spoke, Tang Yu glanced at La La and showed a surprised expression.

"The new combat technique is actually this?"

Upon hearing Tang Yu's analysis, Qin Lang, who had also come to his senses, raised his phone and scanned the excited Lala.

"drop--"

[Level: Lv20]

[Combat Technique: ... (Mental) Chaotic Space]

"Chaotic Space?" Qin Lang murmured the name of the combat technique, then suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

"It's that chaotic space?!"

[(Mental) Chaotic Space (Native): Radiates mental energy in all directions, causing speed perception confusion in targets within the area for 15 seconds.]

This combat skill, like Egg Baby's [Hot Zone], belongs to the field-type combat skill category, but the two have different effects.

[Chaos Space] does not provide any buffs to units within the area, but it can change their speed.

Under normal circumstances, Food Spirits with lower speed will move and attack more slowly, and can only attack from behind. However, in the [Chaotic Space], everything will be reversed, and Food Spirits with lower speed will be faster!
Meanwhile, the [Scorching Zone] skill requires constant stamina to maintain and disappears when the Food Spirit leaves the field. However, [Chaotic Space] does not disappear with the departure of the Food Spirit; instead, it persists within a fixed area for a fixed duration!
“That’s right, it’s the one you’re thinking of.” Tang Yu nodded. “Lala is very fast, so the [Chaotic Space] is almost useless against it.”

"But if it's used before leaving the field, letting Egg Baby play..."

At this point, Tang Yu's expression suddenly turned strange. "The compatibility between Lala and Danbao, these two food spirits, is just too high."

"Indeed." Qin Lang nodded in deep agreement.

Egg Baby is very slow, and most Food Spirits are faster than it. However, under the influence of the [Chaotic Space], everything will be completely reversed, and Egg Baby can move faster than most Food Spirits.

More importantly, the Chaotic Space does not change the speed of the Food Spirits, but only their perception of speed.

Therefore, Egg Baby's "Counterattack" can still increase the probability of triggering under the original speed difference in this situation.

It's fair to say that if Lala had advanced to the second star level earlier and awakened the [Chaotic Space] combat skill, the outcome of Qin Lang and Tang Yu's battle just now would likely have been completely different.

"Let's have another round later!" Tang Yu's eyes lit up. "I'm getting more and more interested in your two food spirits."

"Eh?!"
-
"boom--"

With a low, booming sound, Egg Baby and Tornado transformed into streaks of light almost simultaneously and flew back into the star veins of the two Spirit Chefs.

This was Qin Lang and Tang Yu's second battle, and in this battle, Qin Lang tried out the effects of [Chaotic Space] for the first time.

I can only say, it smells so good!

Of course, Tang Yu is not so easy to defeat.

She made many mistakes due to underestimating her opponent during the last battle, but this time, having learned about Qin Lang's strengths and weaknesses, she avoided these mistakes altogether.

So after a fierce battle, the match ended in a draw.

"Sister Tang Yu, shall we call it a day?"

Qin Lang glanced at the sky and spoke, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"It's time for dinner."

"The food spirits will need time to recover."

"Okay." Tang Yu had no intention of continuing to the third match. He nodded and got up to walk out of the battle arena.

"I have an appointment with Yifei, so I won't be with you guys."

The three followed Tang Yu's retreating figure toward the entrance to the battle arena, where they spotted a slender figure that even full armor couldn't conceal.

Fang Yifei waved to the three of them, then left with Tang Yu, seemingly having a lot to say to the two best friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.

"Okay, so what are we going to do for dinner?" Cao Dongdong shrugged and looked at Qin Lang beside him, his eyes full of hints.

Qin Lang pretended not to see it and stretched, "When I checked into the hotel, I saw that there were quite a few restaurants on the beach next door."

"These seaside restaurants often have very fresh seafood. Why don't we go and try it together?"

“Great!” Zhao Qian’s eyes lit up, and she was the first to agree. “I was a little disappointed that I didn’t eat enough at lunch! Now that we’re in a coastal city, we can’t go without a delicious seafood feast!”

"Okay." Cao Dongdong shrugged.

"In that case, let's go for a walk on the beach together."
