“The contestants in the competition venue have sequentially completed the first challenge and have entered the second challenge!”

“Compared to the first challenge, the second challenge's difficulty is much higher!” the host's voice boomed from the high platform, “Because all the challenges here are meticulously designed by the Shi Qi Group!”

“Tailored to the specialties of Spirit Chefs and Food Spirits, the obstacle course consists of nine obstacles.”

“Some of these obstacles require the joint efforts of both, while others can be passed individually.”

“Only when both the Spirit Chef and Food Spirit pass an obstacle can they proceed to the next one!”

“So, all the newbie Spirit Chef contestants, give it your best shot!”

As the host's voice echoed throughout the competition venue, Qin Lang and Dan Bao arrived at the second obstacle.

Behind them, the first obstacle was a series of two transparent tubes, one large and one small, each about ten meters long.

The larger tube was just wide enough for Qin Lang to crawl through, while the smaller tube was quite narrow even for Dan Bao, limiting its flight capabilities.

At the moment, they were in the lead, just slightly ahead of the first contestant who caught ten balls, the gap was not big.

And the second obstacle in front of them…

With the help of the staff, Qin Lang put on a backstrap equipment that weighed roughly ten pounds.

There was a sturdy rope on this equipment, with the other end tied around Dan Bao.

In front of them was a metal rod up to ten meters long and as thick as an arm.

According to the rules, Qin Lang needed to walk on the metal rod from one end to the other.

It doesn't sound too hard.

However, the weight of the equipment on the contestant's body was not evenly distributed, one side was noticeably heavier than the other.

This off-center gravity needed to be balanced by the vigorous pull of the Food Spirit.

The Food Spirit, is the balancing rod of the Spiritual Chef.

“Come, this way!”

Qin Lang felt the direction of his shifting center of gravity, then signaled Dan Bao to fly to the other side.

Understanding Qin Lang, Dan Bao quickly tugged on the rope, trying to balance Qin Lang's center of gravity.

“The force is a bit too much…”

“Now it's a bit too little…”

“Okay, now it's just right!”

After a simple trial, Qin Lang stood steadily at the starting point of the metal rod, looked at the previous contestant who was wobbling near the quarter point of the route, and slightly shook his head.

The contestant didn't even attempt to practice beforehand and just stepped on the metal rod with his Food Spirit.

Going this fast indeed gives him a speed advantage, but there's a high chance of falling off.

If they fail to clear an obstacle, they'll have to start over from the beginning.

Ignoring others, Qin Lang took a deep breath and started to walk slowly forward with Dan Bao.

One step… two steps…

Through the slight adjustments of Team Star Spirit Protection, although there were a few wobbles halfway through, they managed to walk to the other end of the metal rod without any major incidents.

The contestant who rushed ahead failed to maintain balance and fell, starting the second obstacle all over again.

Qin Lang is now temporarily in the first place.

However, there are several contestants not far behind him.

Therefore, after removing the weight with the help of the staff, Qin Lang didn't delay and headed to the next challenge with Dan Bao.

The third obstacle was a row of five rotating discs.

Each disc was made of multiple layers and rotated at different speeds in different directions.

Qin Lang needed to pass through them one by one and walk to the other end of the roulette wheels.

Dan Bao's obstacle was a vortex wind pressure belt above Qin Lang's head.

That was a wind vortex with swirling and irregular gales.

For a one-star Food Spirit, this wind pressure belt could significantly affect its flight ability.

At first, both of them were struggling to move forward, but as more contestants entered this obstacle, they encountered some problems.

“Huh—”

A burst of blue light erupted from the eyes of a Food Spirit inside the vortex wind pressure belt. Accompanied by a low chant, a vast gale surged around it, intertwining with the swirling winds within the vortex wind pressure belt. Combat Skill: Wind Singing Whirlpool!

Following the collision of two types of storms, the Food Spirit enveloped by it was no longer carried away by the storm inside the Vortex Wind Pressure Belt and was able to move freely through the channel.

However, the aftermath of the storm's collision made the already raging Vortex Wind Pressure Beit unstable.

As a result, the other Food Spirits still in the Vortex Wind Pressure Belt suddenly fell into trouble.

Dan Bao, which had already been having a tough time advancing, was swept up by a whirlwind in an instant.

“Goo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-”

Accompanied by a series of cries, Dan Bao spun quickly in the Vortex Wind Pressure Belt for several rounds. It finally managed to break free, but it was already a little disoriented.

Qin Lang, having successfully passed the third obstacle after hard struggle over the fifth roulette wheel, heard Dan Bao's exclamation and instantly looked up to the Vortex Wind Pressure Belt above him.

“As you can see, the contestant who's currently in the lead has reached the third challenge of the second round,” the host overseeing the whole situation, began to speak a bit hastily, “and it seems like there's a slight issue.” “Contestant Zhu Geduan's Food Spirit has a Combat Skill called Wind Singing Whirlpool. This ability can counteract the Vortex Wind Pressure Belt in the third challenge, giving his Food Spirit a significant advantage when passing this obstacle.”

“However, due to the use of this skill, there's fluctuation in the wind pressure within the Vortex Wind Pressure Belt. The internal storm has become more unstable, which has greatly increased the difficulty for other Food Spirits to pass!”

“In this competition, attacking each other is not prohibited among Spirit Chefs, so Zhu Geduan's actions are not against the rules. How will the other contestants react? Let's wait and see!”

After communicating with Dan Bao and hearing the host's introduction, upon understanding what had happened, Qin Lang looked at the contestant named Zhu Geduan with a frown.

“Hehe, this round is mine!” Zhu Geduan confidently crossed the fifth roulette wheel. He even pushed Qin Lang as he passed by, “Move it!”

Qin Lang's eyebrows unbunched, he gave a modest smile.

“Dan Bao, Full Firepower, cluster!”

The moment Dan Bao, which had just readjusted its status and had been holding back, heard Qin Lang's command, its eyes lit up.

Looking at the Food Spirit that was conjuring up a storm in front and moving easily through the Vortex Wind Pressure Belt, it displayed a smirk, then it took a deep breath and exhaled.

Like a cannon, a fire pillar as thick as an arm was shot out from Dan Bao's mouth.

The peripheral part of the fire pillar was peeled away layer by layer under the Vortex Wind Pressure Belt, dispersing into fading sparks. However, the most high-temperature firepower at the center went straight through one by one spirit and accurately hit the Spirit that was about to pass through the Vortex Wind Pressure Belt.

The spirit let out a terrified cry, and next moment it was swallowed by the terrifying fire.

“Thud-”

Burned to a charcoal black, it fell from the exit of the passage. Under Dan Bao's attack, it lost all its combat power.

Qin Lang patted a stunned Zhu Geduan next to him, then voluntarily stepped aside.

“You go first..”
