Chapter 189 Antidote
"I...I lost!"

Li Yan sighed lightly and spoke crisply.

There is no room for sophistry, and there is no point in sophistry.

This is a clear victory.

Li Yan believed that no matter how much training he went through, he would never be able to reach Xu Qing's level.

This is an absolute victory, and no one has the courage to compete with it.

Just like the stunning sword light in the previous duel.

That is the ultimate beyond imagination, another existence beyond the limit.

People can only look up at it, and dare not even reach out to touch it.

Li Yan never expected that he would be able to witness such unimaginable abilities and such an unimaginable person in his lifetime.

It was really worth the trip.

Losing has always been a painful word for Li Yan.

Because he once lost a duel that he could not lose, and lost the most important thing to him, the meaning of his life.

He swore to himself that he would never lose again!

For this, he was willing to sink into purgatory and train himself to the limit.

The word "lose" and the pain were deeply buried in his heart, turning into a stubborn boulder, and also like an ugly scar, engraved in his heart.

But at this moment, when he said the word "lose" himself, what he got was not pain, but a sense of relief.

He lost wholeheartedly, without any regrets, and felt relieved both physically and mentally.

He displayed everything he had perfectly, but still lost in the end because the opponent was more powerful than his perfection.

At this moment, Li Yan suddenly realized that what he wanted was not to win, but a fight in which he tried his best and had no regrets.

Even if he lost in the end, he was willing to do so.

The reason why that match was so painful for him was not only because he lost the most important thing, but also because he did not give his full strength.

If he had tried his best and still lost to Jidi in the end, Li Yan would not hate him as much as he does now.

The obsession I had back then has been completely relieved today.

Li Yan felt extremely happy, as if a huge rock that was pressing on his heart had been removed.

This joy finally turned into a long laugh, which was unrestrained, heroic and comfortable, and echoed in the venue for a long time.

Xu Qing looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he was so happy even though he lost.

Hearing this laughter, it was like years of depression disappeared in an instant.

For Li Yan, this was indeed the case. That duel had haunted him for years like a nightmare. Now that his revenge was accomplished and his resentment had dissipated, the obsession in Li Yan's heart became less deep.

Li Yan turned around and took out a bottle of antidote, handed it to Xu Qing, and said, "You won this lobster battle. According to the agreement, this is the antidote for the poison that Jidi was poisoned with. Give it to him as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Xu Qing took the antidote and immediately gave it to Master Jidi.

The effect of the antidote was immediate. As soon as Master Jidi took it, color immediately returned to his face, and his originally rapid and painful breathing gradually became smooth.

Mary was so happy that she had been frowning until her whole face looked like a bitter gourd, but finally she smiled sweetly.

Xu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Master Jidi’s life was no longer in danger.

Li Yan said: "It will take some time for the drug to fully take effect, Jidi can't wake up yet."

Xu Qing nodded and said, "I understand."

It was somewhat beyond Xu Qing's expectation that Li Yan would take out the antidote so readily.

After all, from Li Yan's perspective, it was understandable even if he watched Jidi die.

The fact that he was able to come up with the antidote to save Jidi showed that his obsession with the past incident had dissipated a lot.

Lai He's face was a little uncertain. Xu Qing's strength had exceeded his expectations from the beginning. However, he didn't expect that after each duel, Xu Qing's strength would be further improved. Every duel would surprise him. It was like the vast ocean. It looked calm on the surface, but the deeper you went into it, the more frightening it became.

Most of Lai He's former confidence has now been lost.

However, Xu Qing's strength is still unfathomable.

This made Lai He extremely anxious.

Can he really beat Xu Qing in the final showdown?

At this time, Li Yan said, "You won the first two rounds of the Lobster Contest. Logically, there is no need to compete in the third round. But I have a request. I hope to compete with you in the third round of the Lobster Contest, which is to stew the lobster in a casserole."

Li Yan looked at Xu Qingshi and said, "You said before that what I want is the truth. I think now I am ready to know the truth. So I beg you here, please agree to my only request in this life!"

As he spoke, Li Yan clasped his fists and bowed to Xu Qing, his tone sincere.

As for Xu Qing, he had already won two matches before, so he didn't need to continue.

However, he was determined to be a good person to the end. Since he started this confrontation, he should bring it to a successful conclusion.

"Okay, I promise you."

Xu Qing nodded and said.

Lai He looked at both sides and said, "It seems that the outcome of this final duel is no longer important. In that case, I have something else to do, so I won't play with you anymore. Xu Qing, don't forget that after the match with Li Yan, it will be the final duel between the two of us."

"I see."

Xu Qing said in a deep voice.

Lai He stood up and left without looking back.

Walking to the corner, the skinny old man trotted up and said, "Sir, even Li Yan lost. What should we do now?"

Lai He said with a cold face: "It's time to use your strengths."

The thin old man was horrified: "Sir, no! If you use that method, you will be unable to move for at least three months and will be paralyzed in bed. Moreover, this method is extremely harmful to the body, and I don't know what sequelae it will have. If you are not careful, your career as a chef will be ruined!"

"You don't have to say anything more. I have already realized it. If I don't use this method, I will definitely not be able to beat Xu Qing!"

Lai He said through gritted teeth.

The thin old man was startled when he heard this.

The Lin chefs have always been arrogant and look down on others, but at this moment Lai He is like a trapped beast forced into a desperate situation, making a desperate struggle.

He had never seen Lai He have such a side to him.

The thin old man couldn't help but ask, "Is that boy really that strong?"

Lai He said: "Strong, much stronger than I thought. Even though I have a very high opinion of him, he still continues to surpass my imagination."

Seeing the expression on Lai He's face, the thin old man knew that he had made up his mind, so he stopped trying to persuade him, "Please give me some time, sir. I will go and prepare."

Lai He said, "Hurry up! After Li Yan and Xu Qing finish their match, I have to go on stage immediately. I can't give him a chance to rest."

"I understand." The thin old man agreed repeatedly.

"besides……"

Lai He hesitated for a moment, and finally said with determination: "If I still lose in the end, you know what to do! A young man with such amazing talent must not be allowed to leave alive! Otherwise, the dark cuisine world will surely come to an end!"

"grown ups……"

The thin old man's heart was trembling. Lai He was determined to die. Even if he lost, he would die together with Xu Qing.

"Go get ready."

Lai He said softly.

"Yes, my lord."

The thin old man lowered his head and replied.
