Yang Dao was dancing on his bike with Alex right behind him and now the distance to the peak was less than two hundred meters. A few seconds ago when Yang Dao sped up. Alex was still in a state of shock. He only woke up when the boy had already moved past him.
The distance was closing up between the two when Alex heard a click sound. His heart skipped a beat and the bike in front of him was five meters away and still rushing forward at full speed. He wanted to curse Yang Dao for having that bike, but he looked at the muscles on his legs and saw how much power it was needed to push the pedal forward at this combination.
Yang Dao was still doing it at such a high cadence. His competition spirit was ignited by such a display. Alex clenched his jaw and pushed his legs to move over their normal limit. He also sped up fast but still fell short of a meter to catch up with the kid in front of him.
The summit was now only a hundred meters away. Yang Dao was dancing faster on the bike as if a greedy dog rushing forward for food. His chase and his climb had made the commentators speechless and mesmerized. They were now only reporting the distance from the summit. Yang Dao ignored it and lowered his shoulders closer to the bike handle even more and he shot forward.
Alex did not give up and followed Yang Dao's line. He could feel that the wind behind force was not too hard here, and this was also his best shot to win the checkpoint. He was intending to slipstream behind Yang Dao and fling himself over to the side when he was close enough.
How could it be so easy to pass this monster riding in front of him, who only took himself as a competition? His only motive was to improve himself and nothing more. If the other people knew that Yang Dao was single-tracked about his growth, will they feel offended? Who knows?
Yang Dao respected his opponents, but that did not mean he will hold back his own skills. Thus, he charged straight for the summit with nothing else in his vision. Alex behind him was trying his best to catch up, but he could just not. He was thrilled when he was in lead.
He was craving for competition but not this one-sided abuse by Yang Dao. This boy did not once look at him and rushed forward. While Alex was pondering over the thoughts in his mind, Yang Dao crossed the summit check-post and looked up at the sky whilst he panted.
Alex was just a few seconds behind him, but he looked down on the road. He was panting hard as well. The speakers installed on the route all echoed, "Rider number 018, Feng Yang Dao representing the national university, has taken the first mountain checkpoint of the event."
This same announcement was announced three times and the commentators once again reminded the people about how Yang Dao chased his way to the first from the last. The people cheered. No one does not like such a turnover.
While there were some people who liked Yang Dao, some accused him of using a bike better than the others.
...
Feng Yun sat in her office and was looking at the live telecast with a smile on her face. However, reading the negative comments targeted on Yang Dao made her frown. She called a number on her phone and said, "I want this mess to be cleared. teach these ignorant people about the reality of that bike." her voice was cold, and she was furious.
A calm voice sounded in her office. "Sister Yun, calm down, please. This is just the start. Reacting too fast will mean that we are defending him. That is not the truth. Let him think of a way around this."
Feng Yun sighed and said, "Well, okay, if you think so. Also, what did you do about his security?"
Laohu Bai smiled and said, "My squad broke through level three because of his guidance. Now four elemental contractors are protecting him. Don't worry."
Feng Yun nodded and said, "So, what sacred realm are you going to take him?"
Laohu Bai was lost in thought and said, "Almost all of them are on the verge of unbalance. I am confused about which one to take him to."
Feng Yun said, "You should ask Eldest and Ryu after they come out of seclusion."
Laohu Bai shook her head. "Ryu and Eldest have been sealed for the longest time because of their ages. They will take a long time to undo the seals. We cannot afford so much time. The movements of the new dawn are getting faster. Well, I think I should take him to the realm of light and dark."
Feng Yun raised an eyebrow and said, "That place has now become a chaotic mess. What do you intend to do?"
"It is time the Dao child dabbled with his first two laws and take the test of heaven," said Laohu Bai
The room descended in silence for a few seconds. Feng Yun said, "Very well, then. Since you were the first person to undo your seals, we will follow your command this time. But I hope you do not push him too hard, XiaoBai. He has yet to grasp his own skills completely."
The white-haired girl nodded and said, "Do not worry, "I am aware of his limits. The laws of light and dark will definitely help him counter the new dawn. You also prepare to tell him the identity of those who killed his parents. After he returns from this event. The heavenly trial will begin."
Feng Yun nodded and her gaze focused back on the screen where Yang Dao was regrouping with his team and they came to the highway where one yellow car was driving in front of them, and the support crew vans were on their right-hand side in a separate lane.
