Ranking Competition Drawing!

Upon hearing the host's words, the faces of the four Spirit Chefs who had just absorbed the Starstones grew solemn.

This is the moment that will determine the order of the final ranking competition among the four of them, the importance of it is beyond question.

“Please turn your attention to our big screen!”

The host pointed upwards towards the electronic screen in the air.

At this moment, the electronic screen was no longer displaying any images. Instead, it had four sections across from left to right.

“The ranking competition will take place in three days, lasting for two days, with two matches each day.”

“The two sections on the left of the big screen form Group One, and the two sections on the right form Group Two.”

“We will soon determine the contestants of Group One and Group Two through a random draw.”

“On the first day, the first match will be between the two contestants of Group One, and the second match will be between the two contestants from Group Two;'

“On the second day, in the first match, the losers from both groups will compete against each other. The winner takes the third place, while the loser takes the fourth one!”

“In the second match of the second day, the winners from both groups will compete, with the winner declared the champion, and the loser as the runner-up!”

“Now that the rules have been introduced…” The host dragged out his words, then shouted, “Begin the draw!”

As the host's voice echoed throughout the arena, the individual contestant icons on the screen started to roll.

The entire arena fell into an intense atmosphere at this moment.

“Ding

With a ring, the contestant icon in the leftmost section stopped rolling.

Qin Lang s breath hitched.

He was in Group One!

He stared intently at the section to his right, unable to stop his hands from clenching into fists.

Who would be his opponent?

A moment later, another electronic sound rang out.

The contestant icon in the second section finally stopped rolling.

“Hmm?”

Tang Xie, who was standing next to Qin Lang, raised his eyebrows slightly as he saw his own icon. A combativeness ignited in his eyes.

The second contestant in the same group was him!

Was he going to fight Qin Lang again?

He was looking forward to it!

At the moment when Tang Xie's icon stopped rolling, rhe icons of the two contestants in Group Two had also stopped.

Lei Ke and Zhu Ming.

Seeing the drawing results, Lei Ke slightly narrowed his eyes.

He didn't end up in the same group as Qin Lang…

No big deal.

If Qin Lang was strong enough, they would naturally meet in the championship competition on the second day.

If Qin Lang was not strong enough, then he was not worthy to be his opponent.

Zhu Ming on the other side looked at the screen, her lips tightening slightly.

For her, this was undoubtedly the worst draw.

But Zhu Ming did not lose her will to fight because of this.

She was the type to rise to the challenge when faced with a stronger opponent. Now that she had come across Lei Ke, she would give it her all and show her strongest side!

“The drawing results for the four contestants have been finalized!” The host looked at the big screen and declared loudly, “The first match of the ranking competition in three days will be between contestant Qin Lang and contestant Tang Xie, while the second match will be brought to you by contestant Lei Ke and contestant Zhu Ming.”

“They have three days to prepare.”

“So now, let s see the competition subjects for the first day's two ranking matches!”

“The first draw will be for the two contestants in Group One! ”

As the host's words fell, the image on the big screen changed in sync.

The icons of Qin Lang and l ang Xie appeared on the two sides of rhe screen, while the middle area displayed rolling phrases.

“Three… two… one… stop!”

Accompanied by the host's countdown, the phrases finally came to a halt.

[Fixed Ingredient]

After clearly seeing the phrase, Qin Lang's face lit up with a surprised and delighted expression.

This was a new category he had yet to try.

And one he was very much looking forward to for the competition.

Competition Category: Fixed Ingredient. Spirit Chefs must incorporate rhe drawn ingredient into their cooking.

In another competition category – Limited Cuisine Theme, the detailed drawing includes themes like fish and poultry.

The two seem similar, bur there are differences.

Firstly, Fixed Ingredient specifies the type of ingredient. For instance, pork tenderloin and beef brisket are two different items. On the other hand, Limited Cuisine Theme's corresponding theme restriction is broader. Both pork tenderloin and beef brisket would fall under the livestock category.

Secondly, Limited Cuisine Theme requires adherence to the theme. If the theme drawn is livestock, then the corresponding livestock ingredient chosen must be the primary ingredient. But for Fixed Ingredient, there is no such requirement.

As long as the corresponding ingredient is used in the cooking, it's allowed, whether or not it's the main ingredient.

On the other side, Tang Xie's hands involuntarily clenched slightly.

Fixed Ingredient, huh…

He hadn't encountered this category many times and didn't have much experience with it.

Facing his old rival Qin Lang, this wasn't good news at all.

His only hope was that the fixed ingredient would be something he was good

at…

Tang Xie thought about this just as he saw the phrase on the screen come to a second stop,

[Chicken Breast]

So it's chicken breast…

Wait, chicken breast?!

Tang Xie's eyes suddenly burst with gleaming light.

He abruptly turned to look at one of the two Food Spirits by his side.

That was his first Food Spirit, and by sheer coincidence, the Origin Cuisine of this Food Spirit happened to require chicken breast.

Although Spirit Chefs don't receive any bonus effects from cooking their own Food Spirit's Origin Cuisine, Tang Xie had spent a long time practicing and improving this dish in order to increase rhe Flavor Value of his Food Spirit, eventually helping his first Food Spirit reach the maximum Flavor Value of 200 points for Two-star Food Spirits.

One could say, this dish was Tang Xie s specialty!

He turned to look at Qin Lang standing next to him, a light of self-confidence in his eyes.

“Qin Lang, this time, 1 will not lose to you again!”

“Oh?”

Qin Lang took his gaze away from the big screen, and his expression became a bit puzzled after hearing Tang Xie's words.

He was not sure where Tang Xie's self-confidence came from.

But just so happened, he was also pretty confident.

Chicken breast is not such a high-grade ingredient.

Its meat is too firm, with not much fat content.

No matter how delicately you cook the whole chicken, the chicken breast would always end up as the poorest on the tastiness scale.

Under such circumstances, a dish that could continue to be passed down using chicken breast as the main ingredient wouldn't be simple.

In every previous Food Fight and competition, Qin Lang had to mull over the choice of dishes for a good while.

But not this time.

Because the moment he saw chicken breast, a dish automatically surfaced in Qin Lang s mind.

Choosing it, there's no way he could go wrong.

After the competition categories for Qin Lang and Tang Xie were determined, the categories for Lei Ke and Zhu Ming were also quickly established.

Seeing the category, Zhu Ming's eyes lit up with joy.

Limited Ingredient Value, 500 yuan.

This was the lowest tier in the Limited Ingredient Value category.

Looking at the dishes Lei Ke had made in the past, the next competition would be to her advantage.

Lei Ke beside her first furrowed his brows, then quickly relaxed them.

Just a limit on ingredient value.

That wouldn't stump him.

After determining the competition subjects for the first day of the ranking competition in three days, the elimination competition came to a close following the host's closing remarks.

Leaving the Dongxia Arena, Qin Lang looked at the three people behind him enthusiastically looking at him, and smiled helplessly.

“We1 re going to my house, to make Wen Si Tofu!”

“Hooray!”
