Whoosh——Before the crowd could get a clear glimpse, the AE86 zoomed off toward the foot of Zifeng Mountain like a shooting star.
Fast, it was incredibly fast!
A group of professional racers only saw a blur flash by before the decades-old AE86 had vanished without a trace.
"Holy shit! Where's the car?"
Watching as the AE86 suddenly disappeared from the starting point, all the racers were dumbfounded.
One of them looked up and, as if he had seen a ghost, pointed ahead, "Look quickly, that kid's already far ahead!"
"What? Far ahead?"
Everyone looked up and indeed saw that the AE86 had already dashed far away with lightning speed.
"This...this can't be possible! How can an AE86 be so fast?"
In an instant, the faces of those who had mocked Ye Fan just moments ago stiffened, as the initial speed of the AE86 completely overturned their understanding.
Let's not forget, Ma Wenbin's Lamborghini Veneno is a world-class sports car that needs 2.8 seconds to accelerate to 100 km/h, but what about the AE86, does it even take a second to reach that speed?
They had all been laughing at Ye Fan, having not seen how the AE86 started. But by the time they realized what was happening, the AE86 was already far away, causing untold turmoil in the hearts of many.
"Such a fast start, this acceleration completely dominates the Lamborghini Veneno!" Xu Ruoxuan said with a face full of shock.
She had been watching Ye Fan the entire time, so naturally she caught the moment the AE86 started. She witnessed with her own eyes how the car, without any warning, shot off like a rocket.
"Is it finally starting?"
Zhuang Jingwen was extremely nervous upon seeing Ye Fan make his move.
Ma Wenbin had already completed a quarter of the racetrack, and she was terrrified Ye Fan won't be able to catch up.
The many racers gradually came to their senses, one of them disdainfully said, "So what if it's got a fast start? Brother Bin has already completed a quarter of the race, unless there's a miracle, there's no way this kid can beat Brother Bin!"
"That's right!" Many nodded in agreement.
As professional racers, they were very aware that in a duel between experts, even a hundred meter gap, with full power from both sides, would be hard to close.

Moreover, in their eyes, Ye Fan wasn't a racing expert at all.
"Wait a minute! No, look at the AE86's speed!"
Someone saw the speedometer and exclaimed in shock and disbelief.
"This...how is this possible?"
The racers looked at the speedometer, only to see the AE86's speed had already breached 200 km/h.
"Damn!"
Seeing the AE86's speed breaking 200 km/h so quickly, every racer's face lost its composure.
"No way, how can this AE86 be so fast? As far as I know, the top speed of an AE86 is just 160 km/h. Moreover, this car is over three decades old, its internal parts are worn out, no matter how you modify it, it can't possibly accelerate to 200 km/h that fast!"
"Yeah, this is too bizarre, right? After all, this car is over three decades old!"
Staring at the data reflected on the speedometer, those who had previously underrated Ye Fan were all deeply shocked.
"Not just that, the AE86's speed is still climbing!" Before they could snap out of it, someone else cried out.
"The speed is still climbing?"
At those words, the racers' eyes froze, and they were as shocked as if they had seen a ghost.
210km/h! 220km/h!
230 km/h!
Seeing the speedometer displaying the AE86's speed having reached an astonishing 230 km/h, a group of racers were even more shocked.
"This... this can't be right? 230 km/h? Could I be seeing things?"
Many felt they were mistaken, rubbing their eyes, yet indeed, the AE86 had reached 230 km/h!
Whoosh!
In an instant, the entire Zifeng Mountain Racetrack erupted with excitement.
"Impossible! This is simply impossible! A thirty-year-old car like the AE86, its speed should max out at 200 km/h. It can't possibly reach 230 km/h, the speedometer must be broken!"
"Right, it has to be that, the speedometer is broken. If the AE86 could actually hit 230 km/h, I'd find a block of tofu and smash my head into it!"
"A mere AE86 breaking 230 km/h? What kind of international joke is this?"
In the minds of many racers, even if the AE86 were modified, its top speed could only reach 200 km/h. Surpassing 230 km/h was scientifically impossible.
"The speedometers at Zifeng Mountain Racetrack are outfitted with the latest international technology; they can't be wrong!" Suddenly, Xu Ruoxuan spoke with a grave expression.
Having raced frequently at Zifeng Mountain Racetrack, Xu Ruoxuan was well aware of the facility's equipment. If the racetrack's speedometer data was wrong, then wouldn't Ma Wenbin's data be incorrect too?
"Big sister, there's no mistake?"
Hearing Xu Ruoxuan speak, the faces of the racers were covered with horror.
If someone else had said the speedometer couldn't be wrong, they probably would have been ridiculed to death by now, but Xu Ruoxuan was their senior, the queen of the racing world in Central Plains.
Even though they were professional drivers, nearly none of them possessed Xu Ruoxuan's superb skills. Now that Xu Ruoxuan had stepped forward to speak, they were all dumbstruck, almost none daring to argue.
Xu Ruoxuan nodded solemnly, "It's not wrong. The AE86's speed has indeed reached 230 km/h!"
"How is that possible?" Upon hearing this, the group of racers was even more stunned.
Xu Ruoxuan was very certain; the AE86's maximum speed had far exceeded everyone's understanding. Just now, she and Ye Fan were racing, and at a critical moment, Ye Fan caught up to her.
In order to crush Ye Fan, she did not hesitate to engage her car's modification device. At that time, her Ferrari LaFerrari speed had already reached 400 km/h, yet the AE86 kept up without showing any sign of weakness. This made Xu Ruoxuan even more convinced that this AE86's condition and performance were far from as simple as they appeared on the surface to everyone.
"Ye Fan, come on!"
Watching the AE86's speed continue to soar, Zhuang Jingwen silently cheered Ye Fan on. S~eaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"That guy is about to hit the first corner, but why is the AE86's speed still increasing? Does he have a death wish?"
After a brief shock, their gaze returned to the big screen, where under Ye Fan's control, the AE86 was drawing close to the first corner, yet there was no sign of him slowing down.
240 km/h! 250 km/h!
260 km/h!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the AE86 approached the first corner, and its speed shockingly reached 260 km/h.
Seeing this, everyone at the scene was emotionally stirred.
"Has that guy gone insane? What is he trying to do? Taking the first corner at such an extreme speed of 260 km/h? Brother Bin just took that corner at 240 km/h, does this kid want to outdo Brother Bin?"
"Hard to say! But his actions are truly insane. Doesn't he fear destroying the car and killing himself? Or maybe, the AE86 is out of control now, and this kid is done for?"
"No matter how one speculates, taking a corner at 260 km/h at such close range in an AE86, destruction and death are certain. Even the world's number one Racing God wouldn't dare to guarantee taking the first turn at 260 km/h! The kid's courage is commendable, but unfortunately, he's doomed!"
At that moment, many professional racers cast sympathetic glances at Ye Fan.
Hearing the discussions of the professional racers, Zhuang Jingwen's face turned as white as a sheet.
Could it be that Ye Fan was not only unable to overcome Ma Wenbin but also faced a catastrophic wreck?
