A cook asked to fight! The people present didn't think it was inappropriate.
After all, in the Beast Taming Empire, a strong chef must also be a strong beast tamer.
The profession of Gourmet Hunter can be said to be a combination of chef and beastmaster.
"Shuangyue Tower..." Countless eyes fell on Lu Ran.
No matter how you look at it, Lu Ran is still too young and doesn't look like a chef who can master the art of cooking.
"Okay!" However, after only a moment of surprise, the Lord of Ningchuan City said with a smile on his face.
He had originally wanted to recruit Lu Ran and was thinking of meeting him after the banquet. Now that Lu Ran had come out to participate in the competition, he could get to know him better.
Lu Ran walked onto the stage under the gazes of many people.
Bai Ling and the others were quite speechless. At this time, Shepi cleverly said, "If the five of us go up to challenge him one after another and deliberately lose to him, wouldn't it be possible for us to take away the three resources directly..."
"Why are you fixing the bug here? You think others are idiots, don't you?" Bai Ling said honestly, "Besides, apart from me, do you four really need to lose on purpose?"
Ibeth, explorer, calling a deer a horse: …
That being said, could you please not be so blunt?
The atmosphere among the group was very good, and there was none of the fighting and killing atmosphere that characterizes other secret realm breakthroughs.
"What's going on?" At this time, Shopkeeper Long also came over here, and the others could only say innocently: "Brother Wang is blinded by resources..."
"I'll do it!"
At this time, a yellow-haired young man jumped up onto the stage. He smiled and said, "You are so young, but you have mastered the art of cooking. It's really amazing."
"I, Xia Chiqing of the Xia Chi family, would like to have a beast taming duel with you, but I have a small request, I wonder if you can agree to it."
"If I win, when I go downstairs later, please cut three more fruit plates for our table!"
After this person finished speaking, many people cursed him as "insidious". How could such a shameless bet be made?
The boy from the Xia Chi family, can you please show some promise?
"Okay." Lu Ran nodded speechlessly.
"Haha." As he said that, Xia Chiqing on the opposite side summoned his pet with satisfaction, and two summoning arrays appeared in front of him.
Lu Ran summoned his pets without hesitation. As the three summoning arrays flashed, their respective war beasts appeared on the stage! "Roar!!!" "Roar!!!"
Xia Chiqing summoned two enormous feline pets. Their hair was like sharp stones and their long tails were like rock whips. They looked very majestic when they walked out of the formation.
As for Lu Ran, it was naturally Mr. Ha. In the cold wind, Mr. Ha stuck out his tongue and looked at the two beasts with a smile.
Mr. Ha's expression meant: "Oh my god, finally I don't have to cut fruit, fighting is still more comfortable."
[Name]: Rock Beast
[Attributes]: Earth, Rock [Racial Level]: Advanced Extraordinary [Growth Level]: Level 15
At that moment, seeing Xia Chiqing summon two pets, Bai Ling and the others were obviously stunned. You know, the previous beast masters only summoned one! Although a first-level beast master can contract two pets, Lu Ran... is still an apprentice... This time he suffered a loss!
"The previous few people all came from small families and did not have the energy or financial resources to raise two pets. This Xia Chiqing was born in a well-known tiger-raising family in Canglan Province. He has a rich background and is not comparable to the previous people."
"So he only has one pet? If that's the case, he's at a huge disadvantage." Shopkeeper Taki was referring to Lu Ran.
"There should be only one..." Shepi and others said, there must be only one, they haven't even broken through the secret realm yet, where can they go to contract the second one.
At this time, Bai Ling also pondered for a moment, and also felt how difficult it was to obtain those rare resources. This side quest was not for normal people. Trialists would not dare to go on the field if their pets did not have a leader race! One against one was fine, but how could one against two be done?
"Do you only have one pet?" On the stage, Xia Chiqing saw that Lu Ran only summoned a wolf-shaped pet and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Woof!!" Mr. Ha looked at the two beasts calmly, meaning that he alone was enough.
"Uh." Everyone heard the cry. Well, it wasn't a wolf, but a dog. Although the dog looked like a wolf, if you look closely, the expression was indeed a bit wise and silly. It didn't have the ferocity of a wolf, but more like a domesticated canine.
"Yes, I only have one pet. It doesn't matter. Just fight normally." Lu Ran said.
Hearing this, Xia Chiqing didn't hesitate. It was the beastmaster's own choice to contract a few pets. Choosing the number had its own advantages, while choosing to invest all resources in cultivating one had its own advantages.
A beastmaster who comes from a big family will not feel completely safe just because he has an advantage in the number of pets. If the opponent has only one pet, there is a great possibility that the training level of this pet is extremely high.
"Ground wave! Flying rock!"
The battle started quickly. Xia Chiqing commanded two pets to attack at the same time. One of the rock beasts was glowing with an earth-yellow light all over its body. Violent shock waves were transmitted from under its thick paws, causing the arena to shake like an earthquake.
The other rock beast raised its head and roared. Sharp flying rocks continued to gather in front of its huge mouth and were released by it, smashing towards Mr. Ha like rock cannonballs.
On the ground and in the air, in an instant, all of Mr. Ha's movement space was blocked. Compared with the beastmasters who had appeared before, Xia Chiqing's two pets had a higher level of control over energy.
However, this level of attack was not something that Lu Ran and Ha could handle. Ha lightly touched the ground and jumped into the air, ignoring the shaking of the terrain. Then, he opened his mouth, compressed the energy, and roared the wind! ! Boom! ! ! The wind that was compressed ten times the energy was blown out by Ha. It was not just as simple as breaking the branches. The flying rocks stopped in the air for a moment, and then flew back under the materialized hurricane. The two rock beasts also changed their faces when they saw the fierce storm. They felt a strong threat. They quickly stabilized their bodies and connected themselves to the earth with the power of the earth.
"Not good." Xia Chiqing saw Hurricane and immediately realized that this dog beast was indeed highly cultivated and even mastered the energy compression technique. Energy compression technique is a god-level skill that varies in race and level. In addition to its large load, its power can often play a decisive role in the battle! "Earth element, strengthen!"
Faced with this scene, Xia Chiqing immediately began to chant. A yellow light flashed in his eyes. He stretched out his hand, and yellow links shot out from his fingers, connecting to the two earth rock beasts. In an instant, the aura of the two earth rock beasts surged, and they burst out with even stronger power.
Strengthening and strong winds came at the same time, but even with the strengthening, the two rock beasts were still unable to move due to the strong wind. They could only stabilize their bodies with difficulty and let the flying rocks hit them, because at this time even if they moved a small step, they might be blown off the ring.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!! Hit by their own attacks, the two rock beasts screamed in pain, but before they could react, several tooth-shaped wind blades mixed in the strong wind also fell on them. With Mr. Ha's control over energy, it was easy for him to shape the teeth in the released strong wind.
"Woo!!!" In an instant, even with the reinforcement of the Beastmaster, the two rock beasts could not bear the pain and pressure, and were instantly blown over and fell heavily to the ground!
For a moment, Xia Chiqing stood there in a daze.
This kind of beast taming performance at a banquet should be limited to a certain point. Judging from the current situation, the second generation of the beast tamer of the Xia Chi family has already lost. After all, if Mr. Ha wants to continue the attack, the rock beasts that have turned over will find it difficult to protect the beast tamer himself in the first place.
"So strong." At this moment, the banquet scene suddenly boiled over. It felt that Lu Ran's wind-type dog beast was too well-trained. He used the four energy techniques of flow, compression, shaping, and externalization very well. When combined with each other, he directly suppressed the two rock beasts perfectly! !
"I lost." Xia Chiqing was immediately ashamed at this moment. He knew the gap between himself and this chef. Not only was the chef's cooking skills strong, but his beast control ability was also terrifying! The fruit plate... could not be eaten.
"Thank you." Lu Ran said with a smile. When facing an opponent of a supernatural race, even if the opponent is a few levels higher, there is no need for President Ha to fight with a sword in his mouth. You know, in the past half month, President Ha's trial location has been the "Abyss Secret Realm". Enemies of this level can only be said to be elite monsters.
"good."
“This is too strong.”
Finally seeing Lu Ran's strength, Bai Ling couldn't help but frowned, feeling that it was a bit outrageous. You know, the Divine Pet List showed that Lu Ran's pet was a sword dog, which had already integrated the characteristics of weapon control. Now that it was so strong without using weapons, what about after using weapons? She suddenly became a little unconfident in her own strength.
"Interesting, let me ask for your advice."
At this time, the strength of chef Lu Ran attracted a lot of attention and aroused the interest of many young talents. Some geniuses who had not planned to debut too early also decided to take action at this moment.
A young man in cloth armor laughed and said, "I wonder if there will be a fruit plate if I win."
"As long as we can win, we will have it." Lu Ran was speechless again. He didn't expect that a lot of people would come up to challenge for the fruit plate instead of for rare resources.
As soon as this young man in cloth armor walked out, it caused heated discussion again.
"He is the beloved son of Commander Sen of the Beast Taming Corps stationed in Canglan Province." This young man in cloth armor also looked very important. After he appeared, even the son of the Ningchuan City Lord who was standing next to him changed his expression slightly.
Because the other party is also the descendant of a level 5 beastmaster!
Its strength is well-known in Canglan Province.
"Come on!" Sen Qisheng summoned his pet beast under the ring. It was a black BMW with a sturdy body and white flames burning all over its body. He climbed onto the BMW outside the ring and took out a spear from his space equipment! !
"Woo!!!" The flaming horse leaped onto the stage, and the commander's son waved his spear and looked at Lu Ran and General Ha.
【Name】:Cang Yan Ji
[Attribute]: Fire
[Race Level]: Low-level Commander [Growth Level]: Level 17
Seeing the attributes of this pet, Shepi and others changed their expressions again. Hey, hey, hey, why are they more perverted than the other?
All level 17 leader races are here.
"Can he still do it? Commander Mori's horse riding skills are quite impressive, and Sen Qisheng, as his successor, is naturally not bad either. In addition, the spear in his hand was forged by a master, which can increase his strength. There should be no more than five young people at this banquet who are stronger than him."
Seeing that Bai Ling and the others seemed to know Lu Ran quite well, Shopkeeper Taki asked with a smile.
"He will win." Bai Ling said firmly. Although the opponent was very strong, she did not forget that Lu Ran and Mr. Ha, the pair of partners, had conquered the BOSS of the middle-level leader race, the Demon Bull Leader, before they had fused their traits at level 10.
No matter how powerful Sen Qisheng is, he is just a genius in a small province among the hundreds of provinces in the Beast Taming Empire. As for Lu Ran, if we look at the fourth generation of beast masters on Blue Star, he should be ranked among the best.
Not on the same level! At this time, with Sen Qisheng's appearance, the audience who had been amazed at Lu Ran's strength immediately sighed at Sen Qisheng's complete configuration, worthy of being the top second-generation royal in Canglan Province.
"You are a chef, you should know how to use a knife, right? Don't you want to fight yourself?!" Sen Qisheng said loudly, "If you are a man, you should be a cavalryman and fight with real swords and guns!"
"That makes sense." At this time, seeing that the opponent used weapons and equipment, Lu Ran pondered for a moment and also took out a... kitchen knife!
Everyone:? No way, you really listened to him? Moreover, even if it was a weapon, why was it a kitchen knife!
"Then we should use weapons as well."
"But I'm not good at fighting, so never mind, just let it come."
As he said that, Lu Ran threw the kitchen knife out. Seeing this, Mr. Ha caught it, got into position, and looked back at Sen Qisheng, who was riding a warhorse and lost in thought.
"What the hell?" Sen Qisheng spoke subconsciously, his veins bulging.
Not only him, the whole audience was stunned at this moment.
Holding a knife for a dog? A kitchen knife dog? "What a joke!" Sen Qisheng felt that the other party was playing a trick on him, and he couldn't help but get angry. He swung his legs, and flames rose all over Cang Yanji's body. The flames wrapped around the spear in Sen Qisheng's hand, and the man and the horse came out in the flames, like a god of war in fire.
“Can it really work?!” Seeing this, not to mention the natives of Xingyue Continent, even Shepi and others who knew Lu Ran’s special skills were also stunned. You use a sword, what the hell is a kitchen knife! ! However, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha are not picky people. Using energy shaping, using the ugly "wooden sword" that was just cut, or even branches, can activate the sword king talent. Naturally, this big kitchen knife can also be used. Swords and knives are inseparable. With a sword in your heart, everything can be a sword.
Facing the fierce enemy who seemed to look down on him, Ha Zong was surrounded by a gust of wind and jumped up. His aura rose steadily, and his hair moved with the wind. The blizzard sword intent was completely infused into the kitchen knife. In just a moment, Ha Zong seemed to have become a different creature! The dazzling "sword light" made Sen Qisheng's heart skip a beat, and he felt a bad breath.
At the same time, everyone who had their eyes fixed on Mr. Ha at the scene also felt a chill.
It was as if being dragged into the blizzard by a powerful will.
This feeling... is very similar to eating a fruit plate! "Hah!" At that moment, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Sen Qisheng still used the family's horsemanship, that is, the beastmanship, combined with the power of Cang Yanji, to kill.
Bang!!!!
Many spectators held their breath as they watched the strong wind and flames interweave, as Sen Qisheng's spear and the kitchen knife held in Ha's mouth collided with each other, and fire snakes flew raging in the air, with roars spreading all around.
At the moment of the confrontation, before people realized who was stronger and who was weaker, Sen Qisheng and Cang Yanji felt a chill in their hearts. Sen Qisheng instantly felt that the opponent opposite was not a dog at all, but rather a monster with infinite power. His hand holding the gun was shaking wildly, and although it was clearly wrapped in flames, he felt as if he had been frozen.
The energy compressed ten times into the kitchen knife continued to explode, and a steady stream of force came. Sen Qisheng didn't dare to imagine how powerful the opponent was. With a "bang", Sen Qisheng lost his strength in the next second, and the spear in his hand was immediately blown away and fell to the ground.
"Woof!"
At this time, Mr. Ha also used the reaction force to step back slightly, landed on the ground, and looked at the opposite side calmly.
Have you ever heard of the knife-vibrating dog? "This is impossible." Sen Qisheng shouted in disbelief when his weapon was lost. He couldn't imagine that he, who had the power of horsepower, would be shaken away by a dog holding a kitchen knife!
You know, their combo attack just now could even send a giant elephant flying! ! "Thank you." Lu Ran spoke again, meaning that the opponent had already lost. If Mr. Ha had continued to attack, the opponent would not have had the slightest power to fight back.
At this moment, the whole place was silent.
Everyone looked at the sword-vibrating dog with dull eyes.
A cavalryman had his weapon knocked away by a dog holding a kitchen knife... This... will be the headline news in Canglan Province tomorrow.
“That just now!!!” But at this moment, even if he lost, Sen Qisheng wanted to lose clearly.
"It's the kitchen's will. My pet also has the kitchen's will." Lu Ran explained: "Although your spear skills are fierce, your will to shoot is not firm enough. It is natural that your weapon was deflected by it."
After Lu Ran finished explaining, everyone was confused, including Sen Qisheng.
Dogs also know how to cook? Meaning, the dog holding the kitchen knife just now is cooking the enemy as food? ? ? "Fuck... are you kidding me?" Sen Qisheng's eyes went dark. He obviously couldn't accept the idea that a dog could use a kitchen knife and know how to cook... Where did this freak come from? This was the first time he lost so badly! "This dog might really know how to cook!" At this time, someone spoke up.
"When I saw it attack just now, the feeling was very similar to eating a fruit platter!"
"This is incredible... Wait, wait, the platter we just ate was not cut by it."
