Is there something wrong with making food a beast?

Chapter 377 Undercurrent
After the duel between Qin Lang and Ying Chao, the remaining two groups of knockout matches started in sequence.

The duel between Tan Taiyue and Qu Xun finally ended with the former winning, while Yan Hu and Shu Juan, who were ranked fourth and fifth, faced off with Shu Juan, who was ranked lower, and Yan Hu Sorry to be out.

All four knockout rounds have come to an end, and the places to advance to the ranking competition have been determined.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Standing in the center of the venue, the host said loudly, "Let's congratulate the four finalists with the warmest applause!"

"They are--"

"From Tianhua State, contestant Qin Lang came all the way to experience more delicacies!"

"From Yuehu City, contestant Shen Qian is preparing for the upcoming Songming State Cooking Competition!"

"Tantaiyue contestant from the Tantai family of our string fish market culinary family!"

"Competitor Shu Juan who has made her mark in the cooking competition for the first time!"

Every time the host said a contestant, thunderous applause would erupt from the audience when the contestant came on stage.

By the time he finished speaking, the four advanced contestants had already stood behind him.

"Three days later, the four contestants will enter the final round of this year's cooking competition—the ranking competition, and the final ranking will be determined!"

"Then now, Mr. Zhang Tianze, the chairman of the Xianyu City Yuling Chef Association, will present the four contestants with their stage reward Chengxing Stone!"

Amidst the cheers and applause of the audience, Zhang Tianze appeared on stage again holding the alloy box.

This time, he was followed by two strong men with strong auras, who were first-level spiritual practitioners in Xianyu Market.

Such a lineup is only to escort the four Chengxing Stones in the alloy box.

In the auditorium, Zhou Tianhao slowly sat up straight.

Finally waited until this moment.

After the Imperial Spirit Chef Association has demonstrated a stronger security force, will the Star Hunters make an early move?

He summoned his four spirit-eating spirits in advance, and sat quietly among the cheering crowd, ready to strike at all times.

Because all his attention was on the stage, he didn't notice that not far from him, several men and women who stood apart in the crowd and cheered and applauded the players on the field like other audiences exchanged glances with each other.

In the arena, the four players quickly completed the absorption of Chengxing Stone.

The expected changes did not occur, and Zhang Tianze, as the chairman, felt more and more heavy.

Half a month is getting closer and closer to the time when the notice letter of the Star Hunter will take effect. Counting the time, there is only one chance left for the Star Hunter who did not show up this time, and that is the upcoming ranking match in three days!

Without showing any signs of expression, Zhang Tianze put away the alloy box, and left the scene with the two first-level spirit practitioners.

They need to immediately plan more targeted countermeasures to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Following the departure of the three of Zhang Tianze, the host's voice resounded throughout the audience, causing all the audience to withdraw their attention from the episode just now, "The next thing is the last link of today."

"We will group the four players and determine the order of the ranking competition three days later, as well as the competition methods and themes of each group."

"This is a lottery enough to affect the final ranking of the four players!"

"Now, please look at the big screen!"

The picture on the electronic screen was pitch black the moment the host's voice fell.

Immediately afterwards, the entire large screen was quickly divided into two left and right areas and four areas, the two areas on the left were red, and the two areas on the right were blue.

In the four areas, there are players' avatars scrolling.

"Next, we will draw lots to determine the red group and the blue group. The two players in the red group will face off in three days to determine the winner group and the loser group. The same is true for the blue group."

"The loser group will decide No.3 and No.4 in four days."

"As for the winner group, No.1 and No.2 will be determined on the same day."

"Then now, the lottery begins!"

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became solemn, and the four players on the field all looked in the direction of the electronic screen.

The player's portrait on the far right of the electronic screen quietly freezes after scrolling quickly.

Shen Qian!

"Ah?" Shen Qian's small face was tense, showing a nervous look on her face.

Apparently, she didn't expect that she would be the first to determine the position among the four.

Seeing that the second position in the red group was about to be fixed, she hurriedly prayed in her heart, "Don't be Qin Lang, don't be Qin Lang!"

If they are assigned to the same group, it means that she and Qin Lang must have a match where they cannot enter the championship.

Perhaps God heard Shen Qian's prayers, and the second position of the red group slowly froze, and finally a girl's head with twin ponytails appeared.

It's Tantai Yue!

Shen Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of joy was visible on his face.

After the positions of the two people in the red group were determined, the avatars of the two people in the blue group were also quickly fixed.

Red group: Shen Qian vs Tantai Yue.

Blue Team: Shu Juan vs Qin Lang.

"The lottery is over! I believe everyone has seen the result of the lottery." The host said loudly, "Then three days later, we will conduct the first round of the ranking match in the order that the red team will be held in the morning and the blue team will be held in the afternoon."

"Then the next day, we will have the winner's group and the loser's group. Please note that the ranking competition will be held for two consecutive days, so the preparation time is relatively short, and it is not a small test for the players!"

Some are happy and some are worried.

Shu Juan, who participated in the city-level cooking competition for the first time, had a bitter expression, and then waved her fist slightly.

So what if you face a strong opponent, Shu Juan, you can definitely do it!

She comforted herself in her heart, looking at Qin Lang with more fighting spirit.

On the other side, Tantai Yue, who was also relieved because she didn't meet Qin Lang, looked at Shen Qian intertwined in the air.

Preparing for a state cooking competition...

Tantai Yue clenched her fists slightly. Although she was still far away from the state-level cooking competition, she also wanted to see what the difference in strength between the two was!
"Next, draw lots for the competition format and themes of the red group and the blue group! The red group will be the first!" The voice of the host made the two women, who were staring at each other from a distance, look at the electronic screen together.

The rapidly scrolling entries above slowly freeze.

Shen Qian clenched her fist slightly.

Got the exact same format and theme as Qin Lang's knockout match?
She glanced at Qin Lang next to her, and giggled, "This way, does it count as us fighting in the air?"

On the other side, Tantai Yue seemed to have gone with Shen Qianxiang, and at this moment, her burning eyes also fell on Qin Lang from Shen Qian.

"Come on." Qin Lang smiled dumbly and looked up into the sky.

After the draw for the red group is over, now it's the turn of the blue group.

Under the gaze of countless people in the field, the entries scrolling on the electronic screen slowly freeze.
