The God of Food's oppressive aura rendered the Thunder Dragon completely powerless to resist.

But Qin Chuan didn't waste time admiring its submissive appearance. The Food God's Spirit Spell had a limited duration; when he used it on Medusa last time, it only lasted for a maximum of three minutes.

He wasn't sure if the time would be even shorter in the God of Cookery battlefield.

Therefore, we must be fast.

Qin Chuan controlled the ancient sword demon and raised the four-meter-long giant sword.

The dark purple blade gleamed with an eerie purplish-gold hue under the golden light of the Food God's phantom. The golden light along the edge of the blade swirled faster, emitting a buzzing vibration.

Qin Chuan found Lei Jiaolong's weak point.

The heart of a dragon is located on the left side of its chest cavity, protected by thick bones and muscles. Under normal circumstances, it would be quite difficult for Qin Chuan, with his strength, to pierce through the breastplate of the Thunder Dragon with a single sword strike.

But now Lei Jiaolong is lying motionless on the ground, his chest cavity completely exposed, unable to even assume a defensive posture.

This is prey waiting to be slaughtered.

Qin Chuan did not hesitate.

The ancient sword demon gathered its strength. Its legs bent, its waist twisted, and its arms swung in a wide arc. All its power was concentrated at the tip of its sword.

One sword.

puff.

The greatsword pierced the left side of the Thunder Dragon's chest. The tip of the sword pierced through the dark gray scales, tore through the thick muscle tissue, crushed the bones protecting the heart, and finally pierced the beating heart with unerring accuracy.

The sword sank nearly three meters into the ground.

The Thunder Dragon's body convulsed violently. Its enormous mouth opened, emitting a muffled, short wail. The sound wasn't loud, but it echoed through the cave, sounding exceptionally mournful.

The amber-colored vertical pupils lost their luster at that moment.

It was as if someone had turned off a light.

Lei Jiaolong's body twitched three or four times, then stopped moving.

Its heavy body collapsed completely to the ground, the muscles beneath the scales rapidly relaxing. A final breath escaped its nostrils, the warm, blood-tinged air landing on the ancient sword demon's legs.

died.

The Thunder Dragon, a creature of 1,180 years of capture, was suppressed by the God of Food's pressure and pierced through the heart by a single sword in less than twenty seconds.

Qin Chuan drew his greatsword. The blade was stained with deep purple dragon blood, thick like melted chocolate, dripping down the edge.

The phantom of the God of Food vanished automatically after completing its mission. The golden light faded from the cave, plunging it back into darkness.

Qin Chuan let out a long breath inside the Sword Demon's body.

His mental energy was further depleted. The combined drain from the Food God's Spirit Summoning Technique and the control of the ancient sword demon had reduced his mental energy reserves to less than 40%.

"We need to use it sparingly."

Qin Chuan withdrew the residual energy fluctuations from the Food God's phantom and began to get down to business.

Processing prey.

The Thunder Dragon was 120 meters long and weighed 60 tons. It was such a huge thing that he couldn't possibly move it whole, much less eat it whole.

It needs to be divided.

Qin Chuan controlled the ancient sword demon and began to sever the corpse of the Thunder Dragon. The giant sword moved precisely across the dragon's body, separating it piece by piece from the neck to the tail, following the muscle texture and bone joints.

He had done this job many times before. His experience handling various ingredients on the Food Continent had made his knife skills extremely proficient. Even when wielding a behemoth like the Ancient Sword Demon, his precision was impeccable.

The meat near the heart is the best, with the most concentrated energy. Qin Chuan separated that piece and set it aside.

Then there are the back muscles, leg muscles, and large muscle tissues from the tail.

After the cutting was completed, Qin Chuan used the Condensation skill.

This is an ability that comes with the Gourmet Cells, which can compress large-volume ingredients to a fraction of their size while retaining all the energy and nutrients.

The tens of tons of dragon meat were compressed into dozens of fist-sized, dark purple chunks of meat by the concentration power.

Qin Chuan emerged from the body of the ancient sword demon. After the dark purple metallic shell dissipated, he stood in the cave in his original form once more.

"Next comes cooking."

Qin Chuan squatted down and placed the condensed dragon meat chunks on the rock in front of him.

His cooking ability is only at level one.

This is a weakness of the "Eat More, Be Happy" system. The system grants him super digestive abilities and food-related buffs, but his cooking skills need to be improved separately and will not automatically increase with his food consumption.

When mediocre cooking is paired with god-tier ingredients, the results are greatly diminished.

Fortunately, his stomach capacity has been upgraded to level five. Level five stomach capacity has sufficient digestive ability to handle partially cooked food, although absorption efficiency will be somewhat reduced.

Qin Chuan stretched out his hands, palms down, aiming at the pile of dragon meat.

The flames of the Heaven-Burning Technique are unsuitable for cooking; they burn everything to ashes. He used the gentle heat generated by the auxiliary function of the Rinnegan, like a natural oven.

The air beneath his palm began to heat up. The surface of the dragon meat gradually changed color, from dark purple to brownish-red, and it sizzled. A rich aroma of meat filled the cave.

The smell was peculiar. It wasn't like ordinary roasted meat; instead, it had a smoky, charred aroma reminiscent of electric shocks, mixed with the distinctive sweet and pungent smell of dragon blood. It didn't smell pleasant, but Qin Chuan's nose told him that this thing had an alarmingly high energy density.

About ten minutes later, the dragon meat was roasted to a semi-cooked state. The outside was charred, but the inside was still red.

Qin Chuan didn't insist on it being fully cooked. This was the best level of cooking at Level 1; any longer and it wouldn't become cooked, it would become burnt.

He picked up the first piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

It was very hard. Biting into it felt like chewing on a piece of rubber. But after a few seconds, the dragon meat began to melt in my mouth, releasing a stream of scorching energy.

The moment that energy flowed down the throat and entered the stomach space, the Level 5 stomach space began to operate at full capacity.

hum.

A slight vibration came from inside my body.

The energy is broken down, purified, and absorbed in the stomach. The whole process takes about two minutes.

Then, a system notification popped up in Qin Chuan's mind.

Congratulations, your food energy has increased by 3. Your current food energy is 9993. Note: This is a divine-level ingredient; consuming it repeatedly will not work.

"Add three to your food supply!"

Qin Chuan's eyes lit up.

At the level of 9,000 or higher, every inch of improvement is incredibly difficult. Qin Chuan, nurtured by the three great kingdoms, increased his strength from over 4,000 to 9,990 in three months.

Now, a single Thunder Dragon has increased his points by three.

three o'clock.

Although the total number is not large, the efficiency is ridiculously high.

Furthermore, the system notification contained an important piece of information: Divine-grade ingredient, repeated consumption is ineffective.

In other words, he can only eat the Thunder Dragon's flesh once; eating it again will not provide any additional benefits.

This aligns with the characteristics of Gourmet Cells. Gourmet Cells prefer fresh ingredients, and the benefits of using the same ingredients repeatedly are greatly reduced. Divine ingredients are even more ruthless; repeating them will have no effect whatsoever.

This means he can't rely on repeatedly cooking the same ingredient to increase his appetite; he must constantly look for new varieties.

"It's alright." Qin Chuan finished the remaining dragon meat piece by piece. "The Food God Battlefield is so vast, how could it only contain Thunder Dragons?"

He stood up and stretched his arms and legs.

The energy in my body is much more abundant than before. Although the energy of 9,993 is only three points more than 9,990, the physical changes brought about by these three points are very obvious. My muscles are stronger, my bones are more resilient, and my mental energy recovery speed is also slightly faster.

"Continue." Qin Chuan raised his head and looked towards the cave exit. "Next target."
