“A new development has arisen in the arena!”
The Host’s voice raised slightly.
“Congratulations to contestant Qin Lang, his Food Spirit has broken through to two stars!”
“Will this affect the upcoming winner’s group competition tomorrow?”
“Let’s wait and see!”
Lei Ke, who had put back the Starstone into the metal box, turned to glance at Qin Lang.
A Food Spirit breaking through to two stars, huh…
Considering the number of Starstones Qin Lang has gotten, his Food Spirit indeed should have broken through.
Being an experienced recipient of quite a few Starstones, Lei Ke was very interested.
An intrigued expression inevitably appeared in his eyes.
After the breakthrough of such a worthy opponent, Lei Ke was looking forward to whether he would gain more strength.
Amid the applause of congratulations from the entire audience, Qin Lang gradually regained his senses.
Two Stars!
Dan Bao had finally broken through to two stars!
He had been anticipating this day for a while, and now it had arrived faster than he expected, making him unable to hide his joy.
Were it not for the multitude of eyes on him at the moment, he would have eagerly examined Dan Bao’s changes after the two-star breakthrough.
However, for the time being, he managed to calm his excitement with the Host’s ensuing words.
“Next, we will have the draw sessions for the winner’s group and the loser’s group competitions for tomorrow. Through this draw, the four contestants will determine the competition items!”
“This means, they only have less than twenty-four hours of preparation time! This is more urgent than any previous round!”
“This urgency is one of the difficulties of the ranking matches, as well as a test for any Spirit Chef’s skills!”
“First, let’s start the draw for the loser’s group competition!”
With the Host’s words, the player icons of Tang Xie and Zhu Ming quickly appeared on both sides of the big screen.
There was no need for a player draw this time, but the tense atmosphere did not alleviate a slightest.
Tang Xie and Zhu Ming both clenched their hands and fixated their gaze on the scrolling list at the center of the screen.
There was less than one day left for preparation, and it would be disastrous if they encountered a troublesome competition task.
In the end, the rolling list slowly stopped.
The vast Dongxia Arena seemed to have been paused at this moment.
[Limited Ingredient Value]
Seeing the final fixed list, Tang Xie and Zhu Ming let out sighs of relief.
Relatively speaking, this list offered plenty of room for maneuvering, and the preparation time would not be too long.
In this circumstance, even with less than a day’s preparation time, they could exert their full strength as much as possible.
“The competition task for competitors Tang Xie and Zhu Ming is — Limited ingredient value!” The Host’s voice broke the silence in the arena, making all audiences cheer in realization, “Next, let’s start the draw for details!”
The list rolled again and eventually fixed on [2000].
The expressions on Tang Xie and Zhu Ming became even more relaxed.
Although a price under two thousand still had restrictions, most standard dishes were already included in this range.
For both of them, this was undoubtedly another piece of good news.
Looking at each other, a fighting spirit emerged in both their eyes.
Although they both lost in their groups, the third place was still worth the fight!
“Next, we will start the draw for the winners group!” The host immediately initiated the draw for the winners group without any pause after the losers group’s draw had ended.
Qin Lang and Lei Ke faced each other, then simultaneously looked towards the rolling list above.
At this moment, Qin Lang experienced the same tension that Tang Xie and Zhu Ming had felt earlier.
Though Lei Ke had gone through this once, the anticipation in his eyes was no less intense knowing his opponent was Qin Lang, a Spirit Chef he had come to highly regard.
Unsurprisingly, the draw for the winners group attracted more attention than that for the losers group.
The tense atmosphere in the arena seemed to have thickened even more than before.
Until the list scrolling on the screen slowly stopped with a sound of an electronic beep.
[Limited Cuisine Theme]
Seeing this task, both the expressions of Qin Lang and Lei Ke subtly changed.
Limited Cuisine Theme was one of the most common tasks in all competitions and also had the most detail options.
Different details carried different difficulties.
Therefore, it held significant variables.
But, what would be the detail they ended up drawing this time?
Neither competitor slacked off after determining the competition and fixated their eyes on the list, which began scrolling again.
At this moment, the tens of thousands of audience members collectively held their breaths, fearing their breath might affect the list on the screen.
There were tens of thousands of details under the category of Limited Cuisine Theme.
Lei Ke and Qin Lang – which detail would the forthcoming championship fight land on?
Under the nervous stares of countless people, the list on the screen stopped.
[On-the-spot performance)
Seeing these four words, Qin Lang couldn’t help but rub his eyes.
What kind of theme was this?
Lei Ke, who was next to him, also looked surprised when he saw these four words.
It was apparent this was the first time he had ever drawn this theme.
However, Lei Ke had much more competition experience than Qin Lang. After a brief thought, he quickly figured out the specific requirements of this theme. He couldn’t help but reveal a look of anticipation.
“Contestant Lei Ke and Qin Lang have drawn a Rare Theme!” After a short surprise, the Host’s voice suddenly surged, “The Rare Theme is one of the nine draws under the Limited Cuisine Theme category, with a draw probability of less than one in a thousand!”
“The two contestants are both unlucky and fortunate!”
“Because the Rare Theme – On-the-spot Performance, is extremely difficult!” The Host took a deep breath, “In the second round tomorrow, both contestants will have to perform twice in the On-the-spot Performance style immediately after the drawing!”
“Even the time for finding and preparing ingredients would be included in the three-hour limit for cooking.”
“If the preparation time for the Ranking Competition is less than one day.”
“Then, the preparation time given to these contestants is zero!”
Upon hearing the Host’s introduction of the specific requirements of the theme, Qin Lang, who wasn’t proficient in Food Fight, finally understood the horror of this theme.
Complete uncertainty.
Although the scope would significantly shrink as the draw for the second time wouldn’t be among tens of thousands under Limited Cuisine Theme, the Spirit chefs wouldn’t be able to prepare for each individual topic.
Especially when there was less than a day left to prepare.
For a moment, even with countless recipes in his mind, Qin Lang felt a sense of helplessness.
And this helplessness, combined with the surprise of Dan Bao’s breakthrough to two stars, left Qin Lang dumbfounded in place.
It wasn’t until Lei Ke patted his shoulder after the draw ended that he snapped out of it.
“You are an opponent worth noting,” Lei Ke wore a look of anticipation, “I look forward to our battle tomorrow.”
“Thank you, I will go all out,” Qin Lang nodded emboldened.
