Under the anxious gaze of the crowd, the thick smoke veiling the entire competition venue gradually settled, revealing the two Food Spirits that had been hidden under the smoke.

Seeing Dan Bao still floating in the air, and Jia Ye on the ground already turned into black charcoal, completely unrecognizable, motionless, the entire audience fell into utter silence.

“Hooray! We won!!”

A cheer filled with surprise came from the audience seats. Qin Lang looked towards the sound, his smile deepened when he saw Shen Qian and Zhou Tianhao frantically waving in his direction.

Yes, he won!

He, with two Two-star Food Spirits, had defeated an opponent with two Three- Star Food Spirits!

“In this match, Qin Lang is victorious!”

The referee’s voice awakened the countless spectators in the audience. Thunderous applause went on unabated as everyone chanted Qin Lang’s name as if trying to overturn the dome with their voices.

“This was indeed a thrilling match!” The host proclaimed, “Such ups and downs, so excited and heated, we thank both contestants for this spectacular battle, and congratulate contestant Qin Lang on his victory.”

“Congratulations to Qin Lang for becoming the champion of this year’s Lanqiu City Youth Training Competition!”

With the host’s strenuous shout, the atmosphere inside the arena reached its peak.

A gleeful smile naturally appeared on Qin Lang’s face.

Last time he participated in the Youth Training Competition, he regretfully lost and only got third place. This time he secured the top spot, and it compensated for his regret.

Thinking about the 50 Training Competition Points he would get for ranking first in the Youth Training Competition, the smile on Qin Lang’s face deepened.

With these 50 Training Competition Points, he could exchange them for subsequent Skill Stones for his Spirits.

Mixed emotions filled the air. Contrasted to Qin Lang’s triumphant grin, Yu Kun shrouded his face with gloom as he stood in silence after recalling Jia Ye back into the Star Vein.

Apparently, such a defeat was something that the prideful him could not accept.

And he was not the only one who couldn’t accept this outcome.

In the contestant preparation area, Ling Ziye sat weakly on a stool, her face full of confusion and disbelief, “How is it possible?”

“There’s no such thing as impossible!” Beside her, Bear Battle laughed loudly as if he was the one who won the championship, “Just like you never imagined losing to me, Qin Lang’s victory over Yu Kun happened right before your eyes!”

He was utterly complacent, completely forgetting how uneasy he was when the competition was in jeopardy.

Ling Ziye was silent.

She looked at Yu Kun, who was on the battlefield and had been fighting with a high spirit, but now looked utterly dejected, and her tangled thoughts finally turned into a long sigh.

“Alt ”

In the audience seats, Zhou Tianhao and Shen Qian high-fived cheerfully, both faces beaming with joy.

“This was a hell of a fight!” Shen Qian took a deep breath, her tight face finally relaxing, “But luckily the result was good.”

“Indeed.” Zhou Tianhao nodded in agreement, “Winning the championship at the city-level Youth Training Competition is like taking the first step on the training path.”

“I wonder how far Qin Lang can go in the future?” He looked at the boy bathing in the spotlight in the arena, his face filled with anticipation.

“No ”

In another side of the audience seats, a middle-aged man with an unfriendly expression clutched his chest, his face turned pale and in disbelief.

How could it…

How could his nephew lose?!

He clearly had two Three-Star Food Spirits, far superior to all the other competitors.

Gong Xiao had a vague memory of the youth who had defeated his nephew.

When the boy signed up because he was a Spirit Chef from another city, he felt quite dissatisfied and even mocked him.

Qin Lang’s response at that time suddenly surged to his mind.

“Yu Kun’s first place won’t be easily grabbed.”

This sentence echoed over and over in Gong Xiao’s mind, making his face progressively paler.

A feeling of powerlessness overcame him, as his body weakened and eventually slid on the floor with vacant eyes, leaning hard against his chair.

The enthusiastic audience around him did not even glance at him.

“Step, step, step.”

Accompanied by the background music echoing around the stadium, Qin Lang stepped up to the champion’s high platform with steady steps.

At his side, Dan Bao and Spicy cheered happily.

The moment Qin Lang settled down, the ribbons exploded in the “boom boom” sound, surrounding him.

Even more, the wave after wave of cheers and applause from the audience made the award platform seem like it was amidst a passionate ocean.

Under the varying complicated gazes of the second, third, and fourth place winners, Qin Lang bowed his head slightly as Mr. Fei Chengyuan, the president of the Lanqiu City Spirit Chef Association in charge of awarding, put the gold medal on him.

The front of the medal was identical to the Bai Lu Mountain City Youth Training Competition medal Qin Lang had won previously. It symbolized the three- colored flames of Fresh Intent, Shining Battle, and Armament Fire surrounding the golden flame at the centre.

On the back of the medal, it read “Lanqiu City Youth Training Competition Champion Commemorative Medal” in three lines.

Seeing Qin Lang picking up the medal for a thorough inspection, a look of admiration appeared on Fei Chengyuan’s face, “I watched your battle, your performance was outstanding.”

“Thank you President Fei for your compliment!” Qin Lang put down the medal, and bowed slightly to Fei Chengyuan.

Seeing Qin Lang being so polite, the look of satisfaction on Fei Chengyuan’s face grew even stronger. He pointed at the medal on Qin Lang’s chest, “Keep it safe.”

“The provincial-level youth training competition doesn’t require any badges or emblems. Simply having a champion medal from any city’s youth training competition in the province would suffice for enrollment. Therefore, it’s not just a symbol of glory, but also a token for your enrollment.”

“Provincial-level youth competition eh…” Qin Lang held the medal tightly in his palm, a thoughtful look crossing his face.

He participated in this youth competition in Lanqiu City to find suitable opponents for matches and to see the progress made by Dan Bao and Spicy after the special training.

However, now that he had the opportunity to register for the provincial-level youth competition, Qin Lang was inevitably tempted.

He had never participated in any provincial-level competitions before, and he would need one more two-star Food Recommender Badge to be eligible to apply for the upcoming Tianhua State Cooking Competition.

Unexpectedly, he ended up gaining the eligibility to register for the Mingjing Province Youth Training Competition one step ahead.

“President Fei, may I ask when the next Mingjing Province Youth Training Competition will begin?” Qin Lang asked courteously.

“If I calculate correctly, it might not be far away.” Fei Chengyuan thought for a moment, “This Provincial Level Youth Training Tournament begins on month earlier than the Province-level Cooking Competition. It should start in less than two months.”

“Eh?” Qin Lang blinked.

Less than two months…

If he remembered correctly, the time of the Mingjing Province-level Cooking Contest was coinciding with the upcoming Provincial-level Cooking Contest in Tianhua State.

That was also the reason why he had declined Shen Qian’s invitation at that time.

So-

Can he make it to this Mingjing province’s youth training competition?

(The hidden Easter egg about the medal will be supplemented in a few days.)
