Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

After the final game of Cat Lord, Qin Feng, Chu Tian, ​​Ye Li and Zhang Meng finally breathed a sigh of relief, having successfully completed the dream training. They each learned a lot, but most importantly, everyone felt much more relaxed than before, especially after experiencing so many bizarre and funny challenges, they felt that their friendship was stronger.

After returning to the dormitory, Zhang Meng still looked energetic and seemed to be immersed in the joy of victory. He sat down on a chair and shouted excitedly: "We defeated the cat lord, we must celebrate! I have a suggestion - how about we have a barbecue battle tonight?"

"Barbecue?" Chu Tian's eyes lit up instantly when he heard it, and he said excitedly, "That's a good idea! Although the challenges in the dream were funny, I was already starving."

Ye Li smiled and nodded: "It's been a while since we last relaxed together. Barbecue is great, Zhang Meng, what are you going to do?"

"Hehe, don't worry about that!" Zhang Meng patted his chest confidently, "Leave this kind of barbecue to me, I promise to let you eat the most authentic barbecue food!"

Qin Feng looked at Zhang Meng's confidence and couldn't help but teasing him, "I hope you won't turn the roasted chicken leg into the 'escape chicken leg' in your dream again this time."

Zhang Meng scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Don't mention that time! I will definitely do my best this time and make sure you guys enjoy a feast!"

Zhang Meng immediately took action. He and Chu Tian went to the market near the college and bought a lot of ingredients - fresh skewers, pork belly, steak, various vegetables, corn and some special seasonings.

Chu Tian was selecting the seasonings while smiling and saying, "Zhang Meng, you are quite particular about these barbecue seasonings. It seems like we are in for a treat this time."

Zhang Meng smiled proudly and said, "Of course! I learned this from my father at home. I will definitely not let you down."

After the shopping was completed, the four returned to the open-air terrace on the roof of the dormitory building and began to prepare for the "barbecue battle". Zhang Meng took the lead and immediately lit the charcoal fire, took out the various barbecue racks and tools he brought back from the market, and his movements were as skillful as a professional barbecue chef.

Qin Feng and Ye Li helped prepare the ingredients. Ye Li was responsible for washing the vegetables, while Qin Feng was responsible for skewering the meat. Chu Tian simply became Zhang Meng's assistant, helping him turn the charcoal fire.

"The atmosphere today is really good." Ye Li sighed as she processed the vegetables, "We have been training for so long. It's a rare opportunity to relax."

"Yeah, although the dream is very funny, it is always stressful. Now I can finally eat a barbecue in peace." Qin Feng agreed with a smile.

Zhang Meng was busy and happy, and he kept saying, "Today's barbecue is definitely a celebration banquet for our victory. Just wait, I will grill every skewer until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."

Chu Tian suddenly had an idea and said with a smile: "Since this is a celebration banquet, why don't we have a small competition to see whose skewers are the most delicious?"

Ye Li smiled and said, "Interesting, a competition, right? But Zhang Meng, you are the head chef, you have to give us an advantage."

Zhang Meng chuckled and said with a wink: "Don't worry, I will leave some opportunities for you."

As time went by, the air gradually filled with the tempting aroma of barbecue. Zhang Meng handed the first batch of grilled skewers to everyone. Each skewer was steaming, slightly browned on the surface, and had the unique aroma of charcoal fire.

"Come and try my cooking!" Zhang Meng said confidently.

Qin Feng took a bite and his eyes lit up instantly: "This tastes really good! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the taste is just right!"

Chu Tian also took a big bite and nodded repeatedly: "Zhang Meng, your cooking skills are really good! This barbecue is simply god-level!"

Ye Li took a bite gracefully and said with a smile: "It's really good, it tastes great, it seems you are really good at cooking."

Zhang Meng was even more proud when he heard everyone's praise, and said with a smile: "Of course! But you can also try to do it yourself, maybe you have a chance to beat me!"

Encouraged by Zhang Meng, Chu Tian was eager to try, picked up a skewer and started his own "work". However, he soon discovered that barbecue was not that simple. The temperature control of the charcoal fire, the timing of turning, and the even spreading of seasonings, these seemingly simple steps actually require certain skills.

"Hey, what's going on? Why is it roasting so fast?" Chu Tian looked at the skewers of meat in his hand helplessly and found that the outside of the meat was burnt black before it was fully cooked.

Ye Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems you still have a lot to learn from Zhang Meng."

Zhang Meng laughed: "Barbecuing is a technical job. You can't just rely on brute force. You have to control the heat of the meat well. Don't rush it."

Although Chu Tian's barbecue was not very successful, the whole process was full of laughter. Everyone joked and teased each other in a relaxed atmosphere, as if all the pressure was thrown behind.

When night fell, Zhang Meng grilled the last batch of skewers. Everyone sat on the platform, looking at the night view in the distance, enjoying this rare time.

"Today is such a great day." Zhang Meng said with a smile, "With delicious barbecue and good brothers like you, everything is perfect!"

"That's right, today we not only enjoyed delicious food, but also passed the ultimate challenge of the dream." Qin Feng exclaimed, "We have experienced too many challenges these days, but in the end, we still got through it together."

"The most important thing is that we have become more united in these challenges." Ye Li smiled, "Whether it is the funny cat lord or the crazy bowling game, we have not given up and supported each other. This is the most valuable gain."

Chu Tian raised the skewers in his hand and said proudly: "Cheers to our friendship... uh, eat skewers!"

The four of them raised their barbecue skewers together, and their laughter echoed in the night sky. This barbecue was not only a celebration of their victory, but also a carnival of friendship. They knew that no matter how many challenges there were in the future, unity and friendship would always be their greatest strength.
