Chapter 1540 - 1538: The True Master

Chapter 1540: Chapter 1538: The True Master

The red light starts to flicker.

The race is about to begin.

Ding!

With a sound, the red light turns green. Accompanied by the roar of acceleration, the two cars dash out like lightning.

Swish!

Almost instantly, Shangguan Wan’Er overtakes a pro racer.

"It’s Shangguan Wan’Er! No wonder she’s the race god of Ningchuan! Right from the start, she’s half a car length ahead, her car full of explosive power, truly amazing!"

"Now look at this racer from Shangdong Group, he doesn’t seem to have any outstanding performance; his start wasn’t fast, now he’s already a car length behind the Ningchuan race god!"

Someone narrates the live commentary.

66kai also analyzes: "It’s clear, the car that dashed out is Ningchuan’s race god’s car. It’s been professionally modified, incredibly powerful! Whereas this car seems not modified, the effects aren’t very impressive!"

...

"Ningchuan race god doesn’t disappoint! So phenomenal!"

"Why do I feel this is somewhat unfair? Even though both cars are of the same brand, their internal engines and components are entirely different."

"I originally thought there’d be something worth watching, but now it seems like an utter mismatch!"

"Boring, it’s all hype like a ferocious tiger, but watching is like a sick cat!"

"Pointless, I’m out!"

...

The live show continues.

Everyone sees that Shangguan Wan’Er has already pulled several car lengths ahead of Yang Chen.

Yang Chen follows Shangguan Wan’Er steadily, but even so, the car speed is still very fast.

Shangguan Wan’Er’s speed has reached one hundred sixty.

The first bend is coming up.

Shangguan Wan’Er’s lips curl into a cold smile.

"This is it!" She plans to use this move to completely outdistance Yang Chen.

Everyone’s eyes are fixed on the first bend.

"Here comes the turn! The turn is imminent!"

"The first bend is coming up!"

"The bend decides life or death!"

"A driver’s skill at turning decides their technique! If it’s Ningchuan’s race god, the first bend will make or break it!"

"Here comes the turn!"

...

With a shout.

Shangguan Wan’Er executes a beautiful drift through the turn.

Swish!

Shangguan Wan’Er brushes past the railing at the cliff edge, executing it with extreme grace.

In virtually an instant, she takes the turn and continues to sprint.

"Beautiful!"

"Decisive and neat!"

"Truly Ningchuan’s race god!"

"That dragon tail flick move, simply stunning!"

...

The crowd cheers, feeling very excited.

They rarely get to see such beautiful drifting maneuvers; usually, they can only watch them on television.

Next, Yang Chen is also approaching the bend.

"Look! Shangdong Group’s car is also about to turn!"

"Here it comes!"

"Everyone watch closely, it’s time to show true skills!"

...

But the scene before their eyes is astonishing.

As he nears the bend, Yang Chen actually slows down!

Slow down!

This is a taboo in racing; slowing down to accelerate is a process, and this process takes time.

While slowing down at a turn is necessary, premature deceleration for the turn is not a racer’s approach.

A racer would slightly slow down, quickly turn, drift through, and accelerate forward.

But Yang Chen first slowed down, made a small drift, and smoothly went through the turn.

The crowd is left dumbfounded.

Just like that?

Instantly, boos resonate continuously.

"What a waste of emotion!"

"Director, please switch back to Ningchuan’s race god!"

"The lady racer is the real highlight of this event!"

"Don’t watch this rubbish anymore, it’s truly embarrassing!"

"Ningchuan’s race god? Humph! Trash, can you find someone with real skill to compete? Is this trash here just to feel important?"

...

The crowd criticizes wildly.

The director has no choice but to switch the screen back to Shangguan Wan’Er because only her side has anything worth watching.

Shangguan Wan’Er’s speed keeps climbing.

mph!

mph!

mph!

mph!!!

Her speed is already soaring.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

After consecutively taking three bends, Shangguan Wan’Er feels she has completely outdistanced Yang Chen.

The first bend has widened the gap, and with three more, Yang Chen has no chance to catch up.

This race, she’s won!

Suddenly!

A dazzling light flashes in the rearview mirror.

Shangguan Wan’Er checks the rearview mirror and her expression shifts!

He’s caught up!

"How can this be!" Shangguan Wan’Er is somewhat disbelief and accelerates even more!

Fifth bend.

Sixth bend.

Yang Chen persists in pursuit!

"How is this possible!"

Shangguan Wan’Er finds it hard to believe.

At this point, the live host also notices the situation.

"Everyone look! Watch Shangdong Group’s car; it consistently maintains a distance with Ningchuan! From the start, it has held this distance, no matter how Ningchuan race god speeds up, it keeps this speed!"

"Low profile yet profound! Everyone has noticed that Ningchuan’s speed is very fast and constantly accelerating! Her skills are flawless, but Shangdong Group’s car always maintains this speed, indicating true capability!"

"Director, can you switch back to the video of Shangdong Group’s car taking the earlier turns?"

Quickly, the video is brought up.

"Everyone have a look."

"This is the turn footage of Shangdong Group’s car!"

Yang Chen’s car is seen maintaining speed through the bends, the front closely hugging the rock wall, swiftly taking the turn!

No dragging at all, even faster than Shangguan Wan’Er’s speed!

"Unbelievable! An inside line turn! Impressive!"

"This is the real master, low-key yet brilliant!"

"Turns out he was holding back, deliberately letting Ningchuan race god go first!"

"This is the true master!"

...

Suddenly, online comments explode.

"Awesome! This is the real deal!"

"Truly low-key yet brilliant!"

"Playing the fool to catch the tiger master! Awesome, bow down!"

"Such turn technique, this is insanely impressive!"

"Speed is so fast!"

"No way! He must have been suppressing his speed all along, never overtaking!"

"What’s his purpose then?"

Everyone speculates about his purpose.

At this moment, Shangguan Wan’Er also receives the news through her headset.

But upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan’Er laughs instead.

"It really is him! Exactly! The person driving that day was him!"

Shangguan Wan’Er’s fighting spirit is ignited, it’s such an opponent that she wants to battle with all her might!

"Come on! Let’s see what you’re truly made of!" Shangguan Wan’Er deepens the gas pedal, becoming more aggressive in the bends.

But no matter how fast Shangguan Wan’Er is, Yang Chen consistently maintains a certain distance from her.

This time, many people seem to have noticed something.

"Look at the middle to latter sections of the Hundred Bends Canyon path! The road is obviously wider! The view is clearer too; it seems he’s going to surpass here!"

"That’s right, it should be here! From start to finish, he’s been considering safety! Not only for his own safety but also for his opponent’s!"
