    “What? Let Qin Lang take a hit from the field master? The strength gap between the two is colossal.”


    “The field master should hold back. Didn’t you hear him say thetter half is about letting Qin Lang try to absorb power with the Capturing Fire Secret Technique?”


    “I understand the logic, but isn’t the Capturing Fire Secret Technique only supposed to absorb natural mes? When did it start absorbing the me power emitted by other Food Spirits?”


    “I don’t know, let’s just watch patiently…”


    Upon hearing Lu Dong’s words, the surrounding Spirit Chefs couldn’t help but whisper amongst themselves.


    Most of them were apprentices within the Yan Mountain Training Ground, who themselves also mastered the Capturing Fire Secret Technique.


    Even those who hadn’t were Spirit Chefs who trained at the Yan Mountain Training Ground for a long time and were familiar with the Capturing Fire Secret Technique.


    Just hearing Lu Dong’s words, they were already keenly interested in what was about to happen.


    “Come on!” Qin Lang shouted sternly on the battlefield, uninfluenced by Lu Dong’s words. He activated Star Spirit Protection straight away.


    “Use Tian Shu’s power, defend!”


    “Gurgle!”


    I’m ready!


    Dan Bao also called out, staring intently at the imposing four-star Food Spirit not far away, his eyes filled with the will to fight.


    Seeing Qin Lang and his Food Spirit behaving this way, Lu Dong had a hint of appreciation in his eyes.


    Being able to maintain sufficient fighting spirit when faced with an opponent much stronger than oneself ismendable in itself.


    Securing his mind, Lu Dong issued an order to his Food Spirit.


    “Full Firepower!”


    The round, four-star Food Spirit nodded and took a deep breath.


    Perhaps due to its different form, this Food Spirit’s Full Firepower performance was different from Dan Bao’s.


    Its stomach abruptly swelled, like a balloon being inted.


    The four-star Food Spirit tilted its head slightly and then forcefully spewed out toward Dan Bao’s direction.


    A sh of red mes swept over most of the battlefield instantly, subtly reflecting red all around. The Rolling Heat Wave not only spread across the battlefield, but it also made the watching Spirit Chefs outside the battlefield choose to step back.


    In the scorching mes, even the light and shadow became distorted. The mes that spewed out instantly encased Dan Bao at a tricky angle and began spinning wildly.


    Dan Bao’s Full Firepower was already quite proficient, butpared to the effortless operation of the Food Spirit in front of him, it was somewhatcking.


    Hold on! Try to activate the Capturing Fire Secret Technique!” Lu Dong shouted, telling Qin Lang what to do next.


    Qin Lang nodded, sending the instruction to Dan Bao, whose silhouette was indistinguishable, swallowed by the mes.


    Hold on…


    In the midst of the mes, Dan Bao was wrapped in multipleyers of Force Fields of Thoughts, with a somewhat solemn expression on his face.


    Under Lark’s guidance, his thought waves had improved quite a bit, and the defensive power of his Force Field of Thoughts was much stronger than before.


    But even so, in these terrifying mes, Dan Bao still felt an overwhelming sensation.


    His Force Field of Thoughts was melting.


    Yes, it was not shattering due to the inability to withstand the terrifying force, but was directly melted by some extreme high temperature within the mes.


    It was the first time that Dan Bao had encountered such a situation, as thought power is not a physically existing material.


    And along with the melting of the Force Field of Thoughts, his power was being consumed at an rming rate, within the space of a breath, a full thirty percent was drained.


    It was conceivable that if any further dy urred, when his power waspletely unable to maintain the Force Field of Thoughts, what awaited him would inevitably be total loss ofbat capability.


    A four-star Food Spirit really is powerful!


    This was not the first time for Dan Bao to face a four-star level Food Spirit. Zhou Tianhao’s Ji and Lark were also powerful Food Spirits of this caliber.


    This also sparked Dan Bao’s desire to upgrade his star level.


    However, at this moment, it needed to focus more.


    Discarding these restless thoughts, Dan Bao steadied itself, trying to grasp the fleeting inspiration from the finals.


    Yes, inspiration.


    Even Dan Bao itself didn’t know why it could absorb the surrounding power to boost itself at that time, and everything had just happened in a blur.


    So after the contest ended, when Qin Lang asked it, it could only shake its head in confusion.


    Those scenes from back then, at this moment, resurfaced in Dan Bao’s mind.


    Absorb… Absorb… Absorb…


    “Boom!”


    Thest shred of its power was melted away by the terrible high temperature, left without any defense to make direct contact with the me that surrounded it without a blind spot.


    The next moment, those mes stopped in mid-air, quietly dissipated, avoiding directly causing Dan Bao to lose itsbat capability.


    “Looks like it’s a failure.” Lu Dong walked step by step to the center of the field, with a little regret on his face.


    He had been watching Dan Bao’s performance all along. He had already pushed Dan Bao to such an extreme, yet Dan Bao failed to absorb the power of the surrounding mes to supplement itself.


    So at thest moment, Lu Dong let his Food Spirit dissipate the mes.


    “Seems so.” Qin Lang stepped forward and hugged Dan Bao, which looked a bit wilted due to exhaustion, and nodded.


    “Gulu…”


    I didn’t do it…


    Dan Bao was a bit disappointed. Despite trying hard to recall the previous sensation, it didn’t feel anything simr this time.


    “It’s okay, try a few more times.” Qin Langforted softly.


    “Good, try a few more times.” Lu Dong nodded slightly, pointing to the fire altar at the edge of the field, “That’s natural me directly drawn from underground fire, let your Food Spirit recover as soon as possible. Then, we continue our other attempts!”


    “Okay!” Qin Lang nodded and put Dan Bao on the fire altar.


    mes twined around Dan Bao, and then seemed to be absorbed by it, dissipated into nothing, while Dan Bao’s power visibly recovered.


    Soon, it shook off the previous wilting, back to its peak form.


    “This time, let’s try to recreate the scene of the finals.” Lu Dong quickly had an idea, “Let your Food Spirit control thatbinedbat skill and trigger it around yourself.”


    “This…” Qin Lang looked at Dan Bao with some difficulty.


    At that time, it was an idental situation. Now, to actively try such a thing, it somewhat feels like self-injury.


    “Gulu!”


    I’m not afraid!


    Dan Bao gave Qin Lang a determined look and then flew to the center of the field.


    “Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom–”


    In a series of explosion sounds, the firelight and smokepletely covered Dan Bao, and the whole Yan Mountain Training Ground trembled slightly in the fierce explosion.


    Just like in the finals, Yu Kun’s second Food Spirit had directed thebat skill towards discement, letting Dan Bao bear its own attack.


    Qin Lang and Lu Dong looked nervously at the central area of the smoke. Behind them, the four-star Food Spirit’s eyes danced with burning mes, seeming able to see the scene within the smoke.


    Nature-based Combat Skills, Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze.


    A momentter, they both appeared surprised.


    Within the smoke, the status of Dan Bao, after falling to a certain level, was rising again!
