“Xiaoyu, how are you feeling now?”
Du Weiwei held Qi Xiaoyu’s hand, her face filled with worry and anxiety.
“Don’t worry.” A rejuvenated Qi Xiaoyu waved her hand, “After taking a hot bath, I feel completely recovered!”
“More importantly, I got the Spirit Executor’s Badge!” She clutched the Hanxue Emblem with undeniable affection, her eyes glowing.
This was her first Spirit Executor’s Badge, and she planned to treasure it dearly.
Upon seeing that Qi Xiaoyu was indeed fine, Du Weiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Not far away, Qin Lang hung the Hanxue Emblem on his chest and looked over at Liu Shuang, “Mr. Liu Shuang, 1 have a question.”
“Go ahead.”
“Why were the four of us subjected to two different types of trials?”
Hearing this question, the other three badge recipients couldn’t help but look at Liu Shuang.
They were curious about this as well.
“I see.” Liu Shuang laughed, “Subsequent Spirit Executor Badges mainly test strength. Still, the first badge in a city examines many things.”
“You and Du Weiwei, as owners of Two-star Food Spirits, meet the standard for the City Youth Training Competition. As long as you have the strength, you can earn the Badge and participate in the competition.”
“Zhao Chen and Qi Xiaoyu do not have Two-star Food Spirits and therefore do not meet the standard for the City Youth Training Competition, but I’m willing to give them a chance to prove themselves.”
“This opportunity entails demonstrating something beyond strength to earn my approval.”
“Specifically, qualities such as bravery, unity, perseverance, effort, and others.”
When Liu Shuang reached this point, he turned to Zhao Chen, smiling, “Making it through the Melt Cavern equates to passing the test, which referred to both of you. In reality, if you had abandoned Qi Xiaoyu when she wasn’t feeling well and left the cavern by yourself, you would have failed the test.”
“As an outstanding trainee master, there’s no way I’d abandon a companion!” Zhao Chen crossed his arms and revealed a proud expression.
Qin Lang nodded thoughtfully.
So, the Spirit Executor’s test involved more than just strength.
No wonder the four individuals with different abilities underwent different testing methods.
On the other side, Du Weiwei patted Qi Xiaoyu’s head, both women sharing an understanding smile.
“Squeak-”
In the middle of everyone’s conversation, the door to the Cold Snow Training Ground opened slightly. A white-haired boy entered with the outdoor chill, quickly noticing the activity here and hastening over.
“Dad, do we have guests?”
“Did you return from your Food Fight?” Liu Shuang glanced at the boy, “What was the result?”
“I won again!” The boy grinned.
Liu Shuang nodded, a prideful look on his face. He patted the white-haired boy’s shoulder and introduced him, “This is my son, Liu Tianchen.”
“These four came for the Badge Trial, and their tests are now done.”
Liu Tianchen’s gaze hovered over the badges hanging on each person’s chest.
All four passed?
Such a situation was rather uncommon.
“Hello.”
As he greeted them, he curiously examined the four participants.
When his gaze landed on Qin Lang, Liu Tianchen paused momentarily, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.
“Since you’re of similar age, there should be more common ground to converse about.” Liu Shuang chuckled. He was about to say something else when his phone rang, “Why don’t you ail chat first?”
He answered the call, swiftly walking towards a corner.
“You’re here to get the Hanxue Emblem so you can participate in the Bai Lu Mountain City Youth Training Competition in three days, right?” Once Liu Shuang had left, Liu Tianchen began the conversation.
“Yes.” Du Weiwei nodded.
“We came from Dongxia City.” Zhao Chen spoke, a hopeful look on his face. “I hope 1 have the chance to make it into the top four this time!”
He had already asked Du Weiwei, who didn’t have significantly stronger skills than him when she made it to the top four in the previous Dongxia City Youth Training Competition.
So, he also had a chance.
Are they really from Dongxia City?
An odd expression flashed across Liu Tianchen’s eyes, confirming a suspicion in his mind. But upon hearing Zhao Chen’s later comments, his expression took a peculiar twist. “Um… it might be a bit difficult.”
“Every Youth Training Competition is unique. Sometimes, the overall strength of the competitors is high, which makes it difficult to enter the top four. Sometimes, the general level of skill is low, making it relatively easy to make it to the top four.”
“This year’s Bai Lu Mountain City Youth Training Competition, however, might be one of the most challenging in recent times.”
“Because of the recently concluded Provincial Training Competition?” Qin Lang caught on to something, asking involuntarily.
“Exactly.” Liu Tianchen glanced at Qin Langt, “You came from afar, perhaps planning to participate in this Youth Training Competition after watching the Provincial Training Competition, right?”
“The Provincial Training Competition has attracted Spirit Chefs from all over Tianhua State who are interested in the training path. Of course, there are many with thoughts similar to yours.”
“And they’ve acted faster than you.”
“At least ten days ago, Spirit Chefs from other areas have been obtaining the local Spirit Executor’s Badge. This is one reason many Spirit Executor Badge examination slots are fully booked.”
As the son of a Spirit Executor, Liu Tianchen naturally knew more about what was going on behind the scenes.
With Spirit Chefs from different regions participating, the number of competitors will undoubtedly increase significantly.
It goes without saying that getting into the top four will be much more challenging.
“That’s okay, I’m just here to make up the numbers.” Qi Xiaoyu didn’t seem to mind much, speaking with a grin, “After all, I never expected to place. Participation is key.”
Merely earning a Spirit Executor’s Badge as proof of her ability was already quite satisfying for her, a newly minted Spirit Chef.
“Although the difficulty of making it into the top four has increased, it’s still a great opportunity to compete against Spirit Chefs from different regions.” Du Weiwei spoke calmly, her spirit not dampened by Liu Tianchen’s words.
“As for the training competition, we just need to do our best.” Qin Lang patted the somewhat frustrated Spices, comforting it, “If we don’t place this time, there will be a next time.”
“Regardless, I’ll give it my all!”
Zhao Chen pumped his fists, speaking earnestly.
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the room – it was Liu Shuang returning from his phone call, his expression now more serious and solemn. “There’s an urgent meeting at the Association headquarters, and I need to be there.” He patted Liu Tianchen’s shoulder, “I’ll leave these four guests in your hands.”
“No problem!” Liu Tianchen nodded, watching as his father hurriedly left, he murmured, “I wonder what the rush is about.”
He then turned his attention to Qin Lang and the others.
“Since you plan to participate in the Youth Training Competition, shall I lead you to the Spirit Chef Association to register?”
