Three days passed in a flash.
Chen Shu and his group enjoyed their time in Nanqing Country.
As the heat of the Food God Cup had not yet subsided, Nanqing City remained crowded and vibrant.
Meanwhile, Qin Tian and the others were also savoring their rare leisure time.
With the other two criminal organizations lying low and the异空间 (yìkōngjiān - dimensional rift) also calm, they found themselves with considerably more free time.
On the eastern coastline of Nanqing Country,
"Seniors, thank you for your guidance these past three days!"
Zhang Dali bowed deeply to the ten titans of the Spirit Chef world.
He hadn't spent these three days sightseeing, but had instead been engrossed in discussing Spirit Chef knowledge with the ten of them.
Although the ten were also King-level Spirit Chefs, their experience far surpassed that of his own mentors.
"We should be thanking you."
Titan Gao Yuan stepped forward, a smile in his eyes.
While they had been providing guidance these days, Zhang Dali's unique perspective had also brought them new insights.
"If you have any questions in the future, feel free to contact us!"
Another titan spoke, his eyes filled with admiration, having been won over by the young man's talent.
"Alright, let's go!"
Gao Yuan smiled slightly and said, "It's safer for you all to return home."
Zhang Dali nodded and returned to Qin Tian's side.
"By the way, kid, don't be too impulsive in your actions from now on!"
Gao Yuan's gaze fell upon Chen Shu. Although the reprimand was absent, he still felt the need to remind him.
After all, Zhang Dali and Chen Shu were inseparable friends, and this fellow might just drag Dali into trouble at any moment.
"Seniors, I understand."
Chen Shu nodded, a slight smile in his eyes, adding silently:
‘I'll do it again next time…’
"By the way, I noticed you seemed a little excited when you were attacking us old folks. Why was that?"
Gao Yuan looked at him with a touch of confusion. "You weren't like this when you were fighting young people."
"Uh…"
Chen Shu scratched his head. He could tell that?
Qin Tian and the others remained silent, inexplicable smiles playing on their lips.
They couldn't possibly say that this guy got a combat bonus against the weak, old, sick, and disabled…
"Goodbye!"
Chen Shu waved goodbye to Zhang Dali, cast a final glance at Nanqing Country in the distance, and then turned to leave on the Heavenly Ice Phoenix King provided by the Governor of Nancang.
The Food God Cup journey, despite the life-or-death crisis,
Had brought immense growth and transformation to both of them.
Chen Shu had entered the ranks of the strong in the Beast Tamer world, and Zhang Dali's status had also soared. Having been awarded the title of Food God, he was no longer a mere junior.
"I hope to witness a Legendary Spirit Chef in my lifetime…"
The ten elders' eyes held a deep longing and a touch of vicissitude as they placed immense hope in Zhang Dali.
Fu Ning, standing nearby, also waved goodbye to the group, a sense of relief washing over him.
Nanqing Country was safe as long as Chen Shu was gone…
He seemed to have thought of something and said with curiosity,
"Elder Gao, who do you think will become a Legend first between them…"
"Legendary?"
Gao Yuan blinked slightly, then turned his gaze to Chen Shu. "You think he can become a new Legendary Beast Tamer?"
"I think the probability is quite high?"
Fu Ning murmured to himself. Although he dual-cultivated both Beast Taming and Spirit Chef arts, he still favored Chen Shu's talent more.
Having just advanced to Gold, he had already become a peak Gold-level expert.
Such talent was rarely seen in the world!
Another titan mused,
"It's hard to say who will advance first, but both of them are bound to reach the pinnacle of the world…"
…
"Chen Pi, let teacher see your new contracted spirit!"
Liu Feng raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Chen Shu nodded and said, "No problem!"
"…"
Qin Tian's mouth twitched. "No, how can you two be so perverted?"
"Then do you want to see?"
Liu Feng turned and asked indifferently.
Qin Tian immediately leaned in and said, "Yes! Of course, I want to see!"
"…"
Chen Qinghai and the Governor of Nancang also looked over, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Chen Shu's live stream mostly focused on criminal organizations, and his new contracted spirits had hardly made an appearance.
This had kept Chen Shu's little spirit rather mysterious.
The next second, with a thought, Chen Shu opened his spirit's beast-taming space.
"It's really stuffy in here!"
The little spirit flapped its green wings and leisurely flew out.
"Hm?"
Liu Feng and the others were slightly stunned. They hadn't expected it to be a little spirit, and one that looked so ordinary.
For a moment, they even doubted if this was truly Chen Shu's contracted spirit.
However, the next second, Liu Feng and the others' expressions froze.
They saw the little spirit become somewhat displeased as it looked at Liu Feng and the others staring with wide eyes.
With its hands on its hips, it said with dissatisfaction,
"What are you all looking at? Do you want to eat a nuclear bomb?"
"…"
Liu Feng and the others' eye corners twitched, not expecting such a remark to come out.
As their expressions grew strange, Qin Tian's expression changed slightly, a hint of wariness in his eyes.
"Hm?"
He stared intently at the little spirit and slowly said, "Is this truly your contracted spirit?!"
"What's wrong, Brother Qin?"
Liu Feng and the others were confused. Was there a need for such an expression?
Although the little spirit's words were a bit rough, given the performance of Chen Shu's first three contracted spirits, they could accept it.
"My contracted spirit… has seen it before!"
