Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Showdown

“Alright.”
Facing Zhao Chen’s challenge, Qin Lang chose to fight without hesitation.
It’s time to show the real skills!
“Hehe~” Zhao Chen looked around and quickly pointed to a bush about three kilometers down the snow slope, “We will start from here on the count of three, racing to that bush. How about it?”
“Deal!”
Qin Lang observed the route between the two points without any objections.
“Ready!” Zhao Chen took a deep breath and shouted, “Three… Two… One!”
“GO!”
The moment the words fell, the two of them, bursting with energy, turned their snowboards at the same time.
Under the influence of gravity, their speed increased from zero, accompanied by the howling of the cold wind, they quickly reached an incredible speed!
Qin Lang continued to use the side-slipping move in his snowboarding, but as the angle increased, his track was no longer jagged. Instead, with the addition of more techniques, his track resembled a vertical wave.
With such agile movements, the speed of his snowboarding got faster and faster, but always remained under control.
“Just this isn’t enough!” Zhao Chen, who was maintaining a lateral distance from Qin Lang, shouted with a hint of pride, “Watch how I overtake you!”
As he spoke, his sliding movements gradually increased in size, the snowboard was perfectly aligned with the direction of sliding, reaching its maximum speed.
Straight sliding!
And it’s continuous straight sliding!
Only when his falling speed reached the controllable limit, would Zhao Chen slightly turn the snowboard to slow down, then correct the snowboard direction by jumping.
In this way, his speed suddenly increased a bit, and the distance between him and Qin Lang began to gradually widen.
“Gulu!”
Charge!
“Cha ba!”
We can’t let them overtake us!
This scene stirred the competitive spirits of Dan Bao and Spicy. The two Food Spirits urged Qin Lang on enthusiastically.
“It’s just getting started!”
Qin Lang chuckled, a competitive gleam in his eyes as well.
His movements silently changed from the previous style of only using the rear edge to cut into the snow slope while side slipping, alternating between the front and rear edges. Then, the size of the movements increased.
The original wave-like snowboarding track no longer had any sharp points but turned into a series of “S” shapes all connected together. As Qin Lang’s movements changed, his speed also increased. He quickly caught up with Zhao Chen in front of him, once again, running side by side with him.
“Worthy of being my arch-nemesis! How about this then?”
Zhao Chen grunted as he kept straight-sliding while leaning slightly forward.
This movement changed his center of gravity, making the process of accelerating from slowing down during straight-sliding faster. The slightly downhill board head not only didn’t hinder his downhill fall but like a ship breaking through the waves, it tore a gap in the cold wind and snow.
“Whoosh!”
Amid the howling wind, Zhao Chen’s speed instantaneously became even faster, shooting straight towards the bush like an arrow from a bow.
Although it seemed slow, it happened in the blink of an eye. By now, the two had traversed half the distance with their constantly shifting speeds.
Qin Lang’s lips slightly pursed, making his expression beneath the goggles and face protector a bit serious.
If that’s the case, then he would have to show his true abilities.
“Hold on tight, we’re about to speed up!”
After warning the two Food Spirits, Qin Lang’s movements became bigger and bigger.
His body became more and more inclined with each turn, and through the snowboard attached to his legs, this inclination was synchronized onto the board, causing the board to cut into the slope at a steeper and steeper angle, eventually resembling the edge of a blade.
The track of the snowboard silently changed.
It started becoming thinner and more defined, like a pencil line left on the snow from a previously brushed trajectory.
The lessened touch point of the board against the slope, pushed Qin Lang’s speed to new heights.
Even the snowstorm couldn’t catch up with him, swirling only behind him.
Carving skiing!
Cheered on by the two Food Spirits, Qin Lang quickly caught up with Zhao Chen, who was ahead.
The two of them were only five hundred meters away from the bush that marked their endpoint!
“Worthy of being my arch-nemesis!”
Even though he was already speeding up to his maximum, there was not a trace of defeat on Zhao Chen’s face, “Then let me show you, my secret weapon!” “Yangyang, Barbaric Collision!”
What?
Qin Lang looked towards Zhao Chen in astonishment.
Because he only had one Food Spirit, Yangyang wasn’t hanging by his side like Dan Bao and Spicy, but rather was fixed in the position of his stomach.
At this moment with Zhao Chen’s command, Yangyang immediately initiated Barbaric Collision towards the endpoint.
The burst of thrust in an instant, transferred to Zhao Chen’s body through the equipment binding the person and the spirit together, causing Zhao Chen’s sliding speed to explode instantly.
No longer slowing down by turning the board, he controlled the board like an arrow pointing at the bush and went straight toward the destination under Yangyang’s guidance.
This was the final sprint!
“Gu lu!”
Oh no!
“Cha ka!”
He overtook us!
Seeing this scene, the two Food Spirits were anxious.
Unfortunately, they did not have similar skills and couldn’t help Qin Lang accelerate to catch up to Zhao Chen.
So one could use Combat Skill to speed up when skiing?
Qin Lang felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.
Watching Zhao Chen getting closer and closer to the finish line, he didn’t panic.
While calmly twisting his body and observing the surroundings, Qin Lang’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He saw a stone platform protruding from the snow slope not far below.
This platform was also covered with thick snow, and its location…
“This is it!”
Qin Lang shouted, adjusting his position and quickly approaching the platform.
The moment he rushed up the platform, he felt a sense of extra gravity coming from his soles.
This was due to the illusion caused by the return of the weightlessness feeling from the previous slide as the platform’s slope got smooth.
The next moment, the extra weight turned into complete weightlessness.
As the snowboard left the platform, Qin Lang was in the air.
He was flying!
“Dan Bao! Thought Waves!”
The moment he flew up, Qin Lang squatted slightly to reduce his air resistance, while yelling at Dan Bao to make his move.
“GuLu!”
Understood perfectly by Dan Bao, Thought Power was released from him as the center, quickly enveloping Qin Lang.
Thought Waves could not explosively exert a huge amount of thrust like Barbaric Collision.
But it could slow Qin Lang’s fall, and in the air with only air resistance provide him with a continuous acceleration!
“I’ve won!”
Watching the bush not more than a hundred meters away, Zhao Chen shouted, his eyes filled with excitement.
He finally won against his arch-nemesis for once!
However, the next moment, his excitement froze on his face.
A shadow fell from the sky, dropping into the bush first.
Zhao Chen: ???
