Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

Early in the morning, the entire Tianqiong Academy was bustling with activity. Today was the academy's annual "Dumpling Making Contest". Not only were every participating team eagerly eyeing the event, but even the onlookers were also eagerly waiting to witness who would win the title of "Dumpling King".

Qin Feng and his team started working in the kitchen early in the morning. Chu Tianzheng, wearing an oversized chef's hat, put on a serious expression: "Today, we must not only win, but also win beautifully! Making dumplings is also an art. Everyone must show the spirit we had on the battlefield!"

Ye Li stood aside, looking at Chu Tian with a smile on her face, and whispered: "I think his performance this time is more serious than the last time we fought the soul beast."

Zhang Meng was rolling up his sleeves, holding a ball of dough in his hand, and glancing at the fillings on the table: "Oh, I must show off my skills today! I want to make a giant dumpling and shock the whole audience!"

"Big Mac? Are you sure this is a competition, not a contest of who can eat the most?" Qin Feng looked at the oversized dough in Zhang Meng's hand with a smile. He felt that the atmosphere was not right before the competition even started.

However, the rules of today's competition are simple: each team needs to make the most types of dumplings within the specified time, and the creativity and taste of each dumpling must have "highlights". The judges are not only the instructors of the college, but also the most discerning student representatives of the college. Just hearing these names, everyone can't help but swallow their saliva.

As soon as the competition bell rang, the kitchen instantly turned into a battlefield. Qin Feng and his team adopted a tactic of clear division of labor from the beginning. Ye Li was responsible for kneading the dough, Qin Feng and Chu Tian were responsible for cutting vegetables and mixing stuffing, and Zhang Meng volunteered to do the most critical "dumpling making process".

However, before the first five minutes, Zhang Meng had already covered his face with flour, looking like he had just crawled out of a flour battlefield. He held a twisted dumpling in his hand and shouted excitedly: "Look! This is my exclusive 'dragon-shaped dumpling', how is it?"

Chu Tian looked at the strange object that looked like a dragon but not a dragon, and like a fish but not a fish with a look of shock, and couldn't bear to hit it: "Brother, this is not a dragon-shaped dumpling, this is a dumpling-shaped dragon!"

The whole team burst into laughter, even Ye Li couldn't help laughing out loud: "Brother Meng, can you be a little more normal? The judges are not here to see the artwork, we want to eat dumplings!"

Zhang Meng scratched his head in embarrassment, abandoned the "artistic route", and finally began to make normal dumplings seriously. However, his ambition to become a "Big Mac" has not subsided. Soon, a dumpling with a diameter comparable to a small bowl appeared in front of him, filled with a variety of fillings - pork, beef, and some secret spices that he didn't know where he got it from.

Ye Li's eyes widened: "Can this be cooked? Boil dumplings or steamed buns?"

"Yes! Absolutely!" Zhang Meng waved the dumplings in his hand confidently, "Just wait and see, 'Mengge Dumplings' will surely amaze everyone!"

At the same time, Qin Feng and Chu Tian were not idle. They decided to take the "creative route" and try to make dumplings of different colors. Chu Tian even took out the natural pigments he stole from the herbal medicine shop and dyed the dumpling skins into colorful colors.

"This is our unique 'colorful dumplings', definitely the highlight of today's competition!" Chu Tian proudly displayed the colorful dumplings, as if it was a visual feast.

"It looks quite eye-catching, but... will there be any problem with the taste?" Qin Feng frowned, worried that these dumplings that looked like rainbow candies would scare the judges.

“How do we know if we don’t try?” Chu Tian waved his hand nonchalantly, “Don’t worry, we have eaten soul beasts and all kinds of weird things. These dumplings will definitely amaze everyone!”

When the judges walked up to Qin Feng's team, the first thing they saw was Zhang Meng's plate of "giant dumplings". The judges couldn't help but open their mouths wide, and some even muttered in a low voice: "Is this dumplings... or a pot of rice?"

The judges took a bite of the giant dumpling, and their faces were filled with complicated expressions - this giant dumpling was really large, but the filling was too mixed. When the judges were halfway through biting it, they actually bit into a small piece of pig's trotter, and the whole audience burst into laughter. Zhang Meng looked proud: "I told you! This is an exclusive secret dumpling!"

Then, Chu Tian's "Colorful Dumplings" were served. When the judges saw the colorful dumplings, they looked puzzled, and some even suspected that the dumplings were dyed candies. The judges took a tentative bite, and suddenly their expressions froze, and then they frowned: "Is this... the taste of chili sauce and roses?"

"I knew they would like it!" Chu Tian was secretly delighted, but he did not notice that the judges were already sweating profusely.

When it was Qin Feng's turn to make dumplings, some normal works finally appeared. His dumplings had thin skin and large fillings, delicate shapes, and just the right taste. The judges finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, as if they had found a little comfort in this "weird cooking battle".

At the end of the competition, Qin Feng's dumplings won the "Best Taste Award" for their steady taste and exquisite appearance. Zhang Meng won the "Most Creative Award" for his incredible "Jumbo Dumplings", and Chu Tian won the "Judges' Most Afraid to Eat Again Award" for his "Colorful Dumplings".

After the game, everyone sat together and ate with laughter. Zhang Meng patted Qin Feng on the shoulder and said, "Next time, I will make a bigger dumpling!"

Qin Feng smiled helplessly and shook his head: "You'd better not bother the judges again, otherwise the judges will have to hide before the next competition starts."

The entire dumpling competition ended in laughter and joy. Although the competition was full of jokes, it made Qin Feng and his team more united, and everyone found happiness in this relaxing competition.

However, just when everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, Qin Feng suddenly felt a strange breath, but he did not show it. After this dumpling war, there seemed to be some undercurrent surging in the dark...
