"Success...?"

Looking at Dadalia who was heavily frozen, Xingqiu put down his weak hand and murmured uncontrollably.

Chongyun leaned on his knees and panted, and the ice wrapped on the sword at his hand shattered to the ground, revealing its original appearance.

The two of them were surrounded by ice, and they could not see far away in the already dense forest. They could only see the frozen enemy in front of them.

But before the two of them could cheer for defeating the enemy, a purple light swam through the ice, as dazzling as a firefly in the dark night.

The next moment, thunder exploded, and the originally thick ice shattered under the sudden lightning, and the frozen Dadalia walked out of it safe and sound.

He shook his shoulders and swept the remaining ice shards on his body to the ground.

"You have really exceeded my expectations again. I never thought you could do this."

Different from before being frozen, Dadalia's body was replaced by a black and purple armor at some point, and a maroon mask was also put on his face. The whole person looked strange and unpredictable.

Even his speaking voice had a slight vibrato and became deeper.

And the lightning flashing around him made Xingqiu secretly frightened.

The purple thunder that shuttles back and forth between the waist from time to time is like a small snake, twisting and spreading.

This level of thunder can actually smash the joint attack skills used by the two of them. In the end, this man...

"In this case, I must respond."

Dadalia took a step forward. It was completely different from the previous water light. Thunder struck the earth and shattered all the ice on its side.

"But, it's only for a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderclouds rolled under the bright sun.

The sky shrouded by dark clouds became dark, covering the earth with a black coat.

In this moment of extreme darkness, thunder exploded.

In the endless darkness, purple thunder ripped open the sky.

There was a flash of thunder.

The dazzling lightning struck faster and more violently than the thunder, bringing the battle to an end before everything had even begun.

The next second, the consciousness of the two teenagers fell into darkness.

As the battle ended, the man's armor turned into purple spots of light and gradually disappeared, revealing the warm and sunny face from before.

"You really let me enjoy it, you two. At least as a warm-up exercise, it's not bad."

He inserted his waist and felt the ice around him slowly dissipating.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves sounded again in the silent forest.

The fools who were repulsed before have arrived.

Looking at the large, damaged pits on the ground, the soldiers could imagine how fierce the previous battle must have been.

They were all glad that they did not hold back the young master.

"You guys came in time."

It's just that Dadalia's seemingly complimentary words sounded so harsh to the ears of these fools.

But he himself didn't think so much. He felt from the bottom of his heart that his subordinates had come down in time, otherwise he would have to carry the two unconscious people back on his own.

"Go, take those two people to the base in Qingxupu and keep them under good supervision."

"These two people? But they..."

The Fool soldiers wanted to say something else, but they were stopped by Dadalia's deep gaze.

"Sometimes the living are more useful than the dead, aren't they?"

Facing the profound look in his superior's eyes, the Fool and the soldiers shut their mouths and stopped talking.

He could only tie up the two unconscious teenagers and throw them on the horse.

Looking at the swift movements of his subordinates, Dadalia was constantly making calculations in his mind.

Although the crisis of information leakage has been temporarily relieved here, their actions must be accelerated, otherwise there is a risk of exposure at any time.

"Hey, things are getting interesting."

——————

At the "Food and Mountains and Rivers" competition on the Moon Festival, the eight-to-four competition was extremely popular.

The four games from morning to afternoon were all full.

Because professional commentators were hired, the atmosphere at the scene was easier to mobilize, and the players' games became more enjoyable to watch.

Even if the audience doesn't have any professional knowledge, they can at least enjoy watching it.

Not to mention free snacks and drinks.

At this time, the last game on the competition stage finally came to the final moment to announce the winner.

The one who revealed the mystery was still the female student from before. She wore the new uniform of the college and made one after another seemingly exaggerated gestures in front of everyone.

"Then, when it's time to announce the results of the competition, the winner is - Team No. 90!"

As expected, it was still Bai Qiyun's group's victory.

Seeing the other party's somewhat frustrated and relieved expression, Bai Qiyun didn't know what to say.

Rather, as a winner, the best blessing for the loser is to ignore him and not express any opinions.

"Hehe, another win."

The cook who showed off her skills in this competition walked around happily in front of Bai Qiyun.

In order to prepare for this grand competition, she specially put on Manmindang's new clothes as an advertising sign.

Although the big white legs hanging out clearly prevent others from focusing on the clothes for the first time.

"well enough."

Bai Qiyun really admired the girl's seemingly endless energy, but he really had no interest in discussing this game today.

Because he didn't take any action at all, Xiang Ling basically completed the entire cooking by himself.

Their opponent was not so much defeated by Bai Qiyun's team as it was lost by Xiang Ling alone.

In a sense, Bai Qiyun even felt that he was more like the player over there who had lost the game.

In a crowded arena, players will be inspired and also feel pressure that they cannot feel at ordinary times.

This is a game, pure victory or defeat.

But in this environment, Xiangling's cooking still showed a good level and easily defeated the opponent.

Generally speaking, when high-end chefs compete in cooking, they usually judge the quality based on the details of the cooking itself.

In this regard, the losing chef did quite well. There were basically no shortcomings in his cooking, and his cooking style was very similar to Bai Qiyun's.

But he still lost.

It's not that he is too weak, but that his opponent is too strong.

Xiangling's cuisine is full of his own strong personal style. Compared with his previous duel with Bai Qiyun, his level has been so high that diners take the initiative to cater to the chef instead of judging based on their own taste.

This is the completely opposite path from Bai Qiyun. Bai Qiyun is always thinking from the perspective of diners and people-oriented, while Xiangling puts everything into the cuisine itself.

It's really hard to say who is better and who is worse between the two.

But looking at the other contestant who lost, Bai Qiyun suddenly felt an inexplicable melancholy.

Perhaps before the elemental affinity was increased, his level was equivalent to that of the chef.

Don't underestimate your opponent, this is Liyue's eight-to-four competition venue, and those who can come here are extremely strong.

But he still lost.

Just like what Bai Qiyun had imagined countless times, he was defeated by Xiang Ling.

Seeing this scene, he didn't know what to say and could only let out a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
