Chapter 356 New Challenge, Unexpected Cooking Competition

The transformation potion incident in the last class made Qin Feng and his friends laugh all day. Although they experienced a chaotic farce, not only did they not feel bored, but they were full of expectations for the days to come. However, college life is always full of surprises and challenges.

A few days later, Qin Feng and his friends were sitting in the college cafeteria, enjoying lunch. Suddenly, the college broadcast sounded, breaking the quiet of lunch.

"Dear students, please pay attention! The college will hold a unique cooking competition. Everyone is welcome to sign up!" An enthusiastic voice came from the radio. "This competition will not only test your cooking skills, but also pay special attention to creativity and flavor. The winner will receive generous prizes and the glory of the college!"

"Cooking competition?" Chu Tian was stuffing a large piece of meat pie into his mouth and almost choked when he heard the news. "This is not our specialty!"

Ye Li put down the spoon in her hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "I think this is very interesting. We usually fight and kill each other, so it's not bad to change the taste and try cooking!"

Zhang Meng laughed: "I know how to make bear paw soup, how about I make it for you guys to try?"

"Bear paw soup? You're not trying to catch yourself, are you?" Wang Yue said with her hand covering her mouth.

"I think this is a good opportunity. We can show our cooking skills and challenge ourselves." Qin Feng said with a smile, "Besides, we also need a different challenge to relax."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Although this challenge was very different from usual, it was also full of fun and anticipation.

After deciding to participate in the competition, Qin Feng and his partners began to prepare for the competition. Since their main tasks were training and fighting, cooking skills were obviously not their strong point. Therefore, they decided to go to the library to look up some cooking books to see if they could find any inspiration.

In the library, Chu Tian found a book called "Encyclopedia of Magical Cooking". On the cover of the book, there was a picture of an old wizard holding a spatula with a serious expression, as if he was attending an important magical ceremony.

"This book looks good." Chu Tian said, turning the pages and was immediately attracted by the content. "Wow, there are so many amazing recipes here! 'Lightning Roasted Chicken', 'Flame Bread', 'Ice Dessert'..."

"Why do these dish names sound so dangerous?" Ye Li couldn't help but complain, "We are here to cook, not to take risks."

Zhang Meng grabbed a copy of the Soul Beast Feast Guide, which contained recipes using soul beasts as ingredients. "Hey, look at this, 'Stir-fried Giant Rock Bear Paws'. Isn't this tailor-made for me?"

Qin Feng looked at his companions holding strange recipes one by one, feeling helpless: "I think, let's make some simple dishes, such as fried eggs, stir-fried vegetables, etc. Don't make it too complicated."

Finally, they decided to make a creative dish called "Thunder Fried Rice". The idea of ​​this dish came from Qin Feng's Dragon Shadow Sword. His sword skills are mainly based on thunder and lightning. Everyone thought that using fried rice to simulate the taste and effect of thunder and lightning would definitely leave a deep impression on the judges.

On the day of the competition, a huge stage was built in the square of the college, surrounded by students and teachers who came to watch the competition. Each participating team stood in front of their cooking table, rubbing their hands, ready to show their skills.

"Welcome everyone to this cooking competition!" the host announced loudly, "Today we will see contestants from all grades showcasing their cooking skills and creativity. Now, teams, please get ready, the competition is about to begin!"

Qin Feng and his friends stood in front of their cooking table, which was filled with all kinds of fresh ingredients and seasonings. They looked at each other, their eyes full of fighting spirit and expectation.

"Our Thunder Fried Rice must have the momentum of thunder!" Zhang Meng said, patting his chest.

"Let's get started!" Qin Feng nodded, and with a command, everyone started to get busy.

Chu Tian was in charge of the basic part of the fried rice. He skillfully beat the eggs into the pan, added the rice and started to stir-fry. Ye Li was in charge of cutting the vegetables. Her knife skills were skillful and each piece of vegetable was cut neatly. Wang Yue was in charge of the seasoning. She added some special spices to the fried rice to make it fragrant.

Qin Feng was the final key. He sprinkled some magic powder with thunder attribute on the fried rice. As he stir-fried it with the spatula, the fried rice actually began to emit a faint blue light, which looked mysterious and tempting.

"This looks interesting!" Chu Tian said excitedly, "We will definitely win this time!"

Just as they were concentrating on preparing the dishes, a loud noise came from the team next to them. It turned out that a huge flame suddenly came out of the pot of the team next to them, and it directly burned the decorative cloth on the cooking table.

"Ah! It's on fire!" a contestant exclaimed.

Seeing this, Qin Feng quickly used the spatula in his hand to block the fire, and at the same time used the lightning power on the Dragon Shadow Sword to quickly put out the fire. The scene became chaotic for a while, but fortunately the fire was quickly brought under control.

"Thank you, Qin Feng!" the contestant said gratefully, "We almost burned down the competition venue."

"It's okay, be careful next time." Qin Feng replied with a smile.

Unexpectedly, just after solving the fire problem, Zhang Meng's "Thunder Fried Rice" also had problems. Because he was too heavy-handed and added too much thunder attribute powder, the fried rice began to emit lightning, as if it was about to explode at any time.

"Zhang Meng! What did you do?!" Ye Li screamed.

"I... I just want it to have a more thunderous effect." Zhang Meng said innocently.

"Everyone get down!" Qin Feng shouted, and everyone immediately got down under the cooking table.

Sure enough, the next second, with a "boom", the fried rice in the pot exploded, blasting out balls of blue lightning that flew into the air and exploded everywhere. The audience retreated one after another to avoid being affected by the lightning.

The judges on the scene were stunned. They had obviously never seen such a "fierce" cooking competition.

"This is truly an unprecedented Thunder Fried Rice!" the host said, half shocked and half excited, "However, although it is a bit unexpected, this is exactly the creativity of our competition!"

Amidst the chaos, the competition finally ended. Qin Feng and his team's "Thunder Fried Rice" was sent to the judges' table. The judges looked at the fried rice that was still shining with blue light and seemed a little hesitant.

“This… looks very creative,” one of the judges said tentatively.

"Well, yes, it tastes very thunderous." Another judge nodded, but obviously did not dare to pick up his chopsticks to taste it.

"Let me try it." A brave judge finally picked up the chopsticks, carefully picked up a mouthful of fried rice, and put it into his mouth. Instantly, a surprised expression appeared on his face, "Wow, this fried rice tastes really good! Although it looks scary, it has a unique fragrance and a slight electric shock feeling, which is unique!"

Upon seeing this, the other judges also tried it and all showed the same surprised expressions.

“This dish is very special. Although a little unexpected, it is indeed a very creative dish,” the chief judge concluded.

Qin Feng and his partners were relieved to hear this evaluation. Although some accidents happened along the way, their efforts and creativity were still recognized.

"Okay, after the judges' discussion, the winner of this cooking competition is - Qin Feng's team's 'Thunder Fried Rice'!" the host announced loudly.

The audience burst into warm applause and cheers. Qin Feng and his partners stood on the stage with victorious smiles on their faces.

"We did it!" Ye Li said excitedly.

When the host announced the victory of Qin Feng's team, thunderous applause broke out in the square of the entire college. Qin Feng and his partners stood on the stage excitedly, enjoying this hard-earned glory.

"I never thought we would win!" Chu Tian danced with joy, "And the win was so dramatic!"

"Although the process was a bit unexpected, this is also our style." Qin Feng said with a smile, and he felt extremely relaxed. After this unexpected competition, he realized that in addition to the intense training and tasks, occasional relaxation and entertainment are also indispensable.

Zhang Meng scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, everyone. I was a little too heavy-handed at the beginning. I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

"Don't worry, Zhang Meng," Wang Yue patted his shoulder, "In fact, it is because of your 'Thunder Effect' that our fried rice is so unique."

"That's right. If it weren't for this accident, our fried rice wouldn't be so special." Ye Li added, "So, this is actually a surprise."

After hearing these words, Zhang Meng finally breathed a sigh of relief and a simple smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, the host picked up the microphone again and continued: "Not only that, the Qin Feng team also won a special award - the 'Best Creativity Award'! Not only because their dishes are unique, but also because they dare to challenge themselves and be innovative!"

Hearing this news, Qin Feng and his partners were even happier. Not only did they win the competition, but they also received recognition from the college for their creative spirit.

Amid cheers, the chief judge walked onto the stage, holding a beautiful box containing a special reward. The chief judge smiled and said, "To reward your courage and creativity, we have prepared a special reward for you - a magic cooking tool set. These tools can not only help you improve your cooking skills, but also make you more comfortable in future challenges."

Qin Feng carefully took the box and opened it. Inside was a glittering knife, a set of magic stoves, and several bottles of mysterious seasonings. Each tool emitted a faint light, obviously blessed by magic.

"Wow, these tools look so cool!" Chu Tian stared at the box excitedly, his eyes sparkling.

"Yes, with these tools, cooking will be much easier for us in the future." Ye Li nodded, her face full of anticipation.

The chief judge continued, "These tools are specially made by our academy and can greatly improve your cooking skills. I hope you can make good use of them and continue to explore new possibilities."

Qin Feng and his partners thanked the chief judge, and everyone was very excited. Not only did they win the competition, but they also received such a precious reward. It was really an unforgettable experience.

After returning to the dormitory, Qin Feng and his friends decided to hold a small celebration party to celebrate their victory and the special reward. Chu Tian took the initiative to suggest: "Since we just won the cooking competition, how about we cook dinner tonight?"

"Good idea!" Zhang Meng agreed loudly, "I can try to use this new set of magic cooking tools to make a new bear paw dish!"

"Don't mention your bear paw anymore," Wang Yue said with a smile, "but I really want to see what kind of delicious food these magic tools can make."

So, everyone started to get busy, using the newly acquired magic cooking tools to prepare dinner. Qin Feng was in charge of the main course, and he decided to use the magic knife to cut the meat. As a result, with a light wave of the knife, the meat was cut as thin as a cicada's wing, and each piece was shining with a faint golden light, as if it was attached with a layer of magic.

Ye Li was in charge of making the soup, and she used a magic stove. This stove was very peculiar, with a small magic circle suspended above the stove. When the soup was cooking, the liquid in the soup pot would roll spontaneously under the effect of the magic circle, and it would not overflow without stirring.

Wang Yue prepared some salads using new seasonings, which had a very unique flavor and a little bit of them could give ordinary vegetables new life, as if every leaf was dancing.

Dinner was soon ready, and everyone sat around the table, looking expectantly at the delicious dishes prepared with the new tools and magical seasonings.

"Let's eat!" Chu Tian shouted, and everyone started eating.

As a result, everyone showed a surprised expression on their face after taking a bite.

"This tastes great!" Zhang Meng said as he ate. "It's much better than the food we usually eat at the academy."

"Indeed, these magic tools really make the food more delicious." Ye Li also nodded in praise.

"We really benefited a lot from this competition." Qin Feng said with a smile, "Not only did we learn how to cook, but we also understood the importance of creativity."

"Yes, it seems we can try more new things in the future." Wang Yue said with a smile, "Not only in cooking, but also in other aspects."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Tonight's celebration party not only allowed them to enjoy delicious food, but also brought them closer together and deepened their friendship with each other.

Just as they were enjoying this relaxing time, there was a sudden knock on the door. Qin Feng got up to open the door and found Vice Dean Feng Jian standing at the door with a serious expression on his face.

"Qin Feng, there is something I need to talk to you about." Vice President Feng Jian said.

Qin Feng realized that there might be new tasks or challenges coming, and immediately asked the vice president to come in.

"The academy just received news that a group of dark soul masters are active at the border and may be planning some conspiracy. The academy hopes that you can go and investigate." Feng Jian explained.

"Dark Soul Master?" Ye Li immediately became serious, "What are they doing at the border?"

"The specific situation is still unclear, but their appearance is definitely not a good thing." Feng Jian continued, "So we hope that you can set out as soon as possible to find their traces and find out their intentions."

Qin Feng and his teammates looked at each other. Although they had just finished a game, they already felt a new atmosphere of tension.

"No problem, Vice President, we will prepare it as soon as possible." Qin Feng answered firmly.

"Very good, the academy will provide you with the support and equipment you need. Please be careful, dark soul masters are always cunning and dangerous." Feng Jian warned.

After seeing off the vice president, Qin Feng returned to the table. Everyone's mood had changed from the joy of celebration to tension and anticipation for new tasks.

"It looks like our leisure time is coming to an end again." Chu Tian sighed, "But it doesn't matter, adventure is our real mission."

"That's right, we must find out the dark soul master's conspiracy this time." Ye Li said firmly.

"Then let's get ready to set off, to protect the safety of the academy and for our beliefs." Qin Feng stood up, his eyes full of determination.

Everyone nodded in agreement and began to pack up their equipment, ready to face new challenges. Although they didn't know what they would encounter ahead, they believed that as long as they united together, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

As the night gradually fell, the lights of the academy were still bright. Qin Feng and his friends stood at the door of the dormitory, looking at the sky in the distance. That was the direction they were about to go.

"Are you ready?" Qin Feng asked.

"We can leave at any time." Chu Tian replied with a smile.

"Let's go!" Qin Feng raised his arms and led everyone towards a new adventure.

What challenges and surprises will this mission bring? How will they deal with it? Everything is still unknown, but they are fearless because they are the strongest team with the most firm beliefs.

New adventures are waiting for them, and they are ready.
