Chapter 193: Chapter 171: The Advancing Motorcycle

On the other side of the road leading to the mountain trails in Yueming County, the scene was exceptionally lively, teeming with people. Besides those who had come out for the excitement of the race from the town, many had followed the teams from different places.

Among these people, there were dedicated reporter teams, twelve motorcycle teams’ riders, and the event’s organizational staff.

At this moment, the race track had already been marked, and throughout there were specialized personnel monitoring and guiding traffic.

"Hello everyone, and welcome to the 13th Off-road Motorcycle Championship, I am your host, Sky Thunder."

The amplified voice of the host spread everywhere, broadcasting through speakers that had already been set up, allowing the spectating crowd to listen in.

"Also, I will be providing commentary for this race, tracking every moment with a specially dispatched helicopter, presenting the race dynamics to you all in real time. Alright, no more idle talk, all twelve teams’ racers are ready, and they’re poised to burst forth at any second!"

"This race consists of two parts, the first being the city road, which only constitutes a small section, and the remaining larger part being the mountain trail off-road, where the real action is. Because it’s a long distance, this race will only have one lap."

At the starting line, twelve racers dressed in colorful team uniforms were astride their motorcycles, helmets on, hands gripping the handles, feet on the accelerators, ready to charge forward!

"Vroom, vroom, vroooom!!!"

On the side, a large crowd was cheering, most of them fans of the various teams.

"Go Qingting Team, I believe in you, go for it!"

"Zhen Yang, you’re always the strongest, go for it!"

Cheers rang out, but the motorcycle riders were focused intently on the road ahead and their competitors beside them.

Very soon, the race was about to begin. Twelve motorcycles revved their engines, and with throttles pressed, they roared off in quick succession!

In almost an instant, the twelve motorcycles took off nearly side by side from the starting line, not much separating them as they began to race down the track.

"The racers are off, and the first curve is coming up. Alright, Wind Breaker from the Guoxuan Team has taken the corner, and he’s temporarily in the lead, the first place."

"In this race, one to watch is definitely Wind Breaker. Despite his young age, his astonishing riding skills helped his team move from eighth to second place in the previous league, making him an undeniable genius rider."

The surrounding audience on the sidelines of the track shouted with excitement, while the announcer observed from the helicopter above and commented, "Wind Breaker’s mastery of off-road technique is refined, but I never expected him to excel so much on city roads as well. Okay, the second curve is coming up, it’s a sharp turn. After this curve, there’s a stretch of road before entering the mountain trails."

At that moment, Sky Thunder, watching Wind Breaker down below, saw him suddenly grip the handlebars tightly, shifting his weight to the left, leaning low over the motorcycle which also leaned sharply to the left, almost hugging the ground, pulling off an impressive drift turn!

"My God, Wind Breaker just drifted around the corner, widening the gap from the second-place racer, it’s incredible!" Sky Thunder said, astounded. Such a maneuver was rare in mountain trail off-roading because it’s seldom necessary, but it’s a crucial skill in professional motorcycle racing, although very difficult to master.

This showed Wind Breaker’s profound skill on a motorcycle.

"Wind Breaker, the host is praising you," Wind Breaker heard his coach’s voice through his earpiece as he rode.

With a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, Wind Breaker responded with confidence, "Of course they have to praise me because I’ve got this championship in the bag."

"Alright, we’ll throw a celebration banquet for you when you get back."

Soon, all twelve racers were nearing the mountain trails.

"We are about to hit off-road mountain trails," Sky Thunder couldn’t help but get excited. This was the most thrilling moment, but just then, he received information through his earpiece that made him pause.

"Sky Thunder, someone has broken onto the track."

Broken onto the track? Hadn’t they sealed off the road?

"What’s happening?" Sky Thunder immediately asked, as this was during a competition and no room for error was allowed.

"That person was moving too fast, we simply couldn’t stop him; he’s already charged onto the track."

Sky Thunder swiftly turned and looked down to see a motorcycle, near the starting point on the track, speeding wildly ahead.

"Forget it, don’t stop him, he’s just here for fun, he won’t catch up to the professional racers." Sky Thunder said, and then continued to host, "Alright, now the twelve racers have entered the trails, with Wind Breaker still leading the pack."

Meanwhile, Li Chen, observing the setup around him and the spectators, was startled. Had he burst into the middle of a race?

In his urgency, Li Chen had just asked for directions and then floored the throttle, not having time to inquire about what was happening ahead – and this road was unavoidable on his way to Keli Village.

However, Li Chen soon cast that concern aside. A race was a race; he just needed to pass through, no harm done.

As the surrounding fans listened to the ongoing updates from the host, they were cheering when suddenly, a motorcycle with the speed of lightning passed them from behind.

"Putt-putt-putt"

The sound continued, with the clashing of parts within, like a gravely ill old man that might fall apart at any moment.

Actually, the motorcycle had been modified before in the dealership where it was sold. It still had decent performance, but after being used for so long, it was on the verge of being scrapped, hence it was put up for sale.

This created an extremely bizarre scene on the racetrack: a motorcycle speeding ahead, but always accompanied by discordant noises, and the rear part of the bike kept shaking. The fans and the audience were all watching with stunned expressions.

It was only after Li Chen’s motorcycle disappeared from view that they seemed to come to their senses.

"Was that bike just now also in the race?"

"Uh, it seems so."

They weren’t quite sure; if it wasn’t part of the race, then where did that motorcycle come from?

Li Chen only had Yang Xin in mind, so he drove at breakneck speed. During turns, he used a more exaggerated speed and posture than Wind Breaker, but barely anyone noticed.

At this moment, on the mountain road, twelve motorcycles were roaring continuously. Wind Breaker, riding his motorcycle, leapt high into the air, then leaned forward, splattering dirt and sand as he landed on the path below.

The engines roared, and apart from Wind Breaker taking a clear lead, the other eleven motorcycles were not far from each other, their collective roar deafening.

Controlling their bikes, these motorcyclists were racing wildly off-road, making turns, drifting, and doing airborne stunts, like mechanical beasts in the mountains unleashing their fury.

"Currently in the lead is Guoxuan Team’s Wind Breaker, followed by Canghai Team’s Xuanliang in second, and in third is . . . "

Sky Thunder was reporting the current rankings, but suddenly, the information coming through his earpiece made him pause.

"Sky Thunder, that motorcycle has surged onto the mountain path!"

Sky Thunder looked puzzled. How could it be possible? That bike from before was just a motorcycle, how could it possibly be faster than professional motorcyclists?

Sky Thunder could hardly believe it, but some staff members by the mountainside watched in astonishment as that seemingly falling-apart motorcycle roared wildly on the mountain path.

The whole bike soared high into the air, and at that moment, Li Chen channeled True Qi beneath his feet, stepped down hard, and with the help of True Qi, the motorcycle soared even higher and further, landing directly on the mountain road ahead, skipping over the first pit and rushing forward with undiminished speed!

The staff members were agape, cursing in awe, "What the hell was up with that motorcycle just now? How could it jump so high?"

It didn’t take long for Li Chen to catch up with the professional motorcyclists. From afar, a dozen riders were aligned like a column.

Sky Thunder also noticed that motorcycle in the back, wiping sweat from his forehead. He had never encountered such a situation since the start of his career. Should he mention it or not?

However, Sky Thunder had to say something, because that motorcycle had actually caught up with the others.

"Uh, an unknown rider joined the race mid-way, and he is now, well, in twelfth place."

The motorcycles thundered, and the rider Li Chen just overtook looked astonished. What’s going on? Aren’t there only twelve teams?

Li Chen continued driving forward. The bike he was riding was like a wild beast, howling as it charged toward the professional riders ahead.

Eleventh place!

Tenth place!

Ninth place!

A beautiful drift, flinging up dirt and sand, caused the surpassed rider to flip over, and Li Chen roared past him.

Eighth place!

Leaping high, nearly in tandem with three other riders, but Li Chen’s motorcycle flew the furthest and highest, leaving the other three behind.

Fifth place!

Sky Thunder, watching the frenzied unknown rider below, couldn’t help but widen his eyes. Where did this genius come from?

Li Chen was overtaking like mad, and soon he reached second place, and was rapidly closing in on Wind Breaker!

"The unknown rider is now in second place, and he’s quickly closing the gap with Wind Breaker!" Sky Thunder’s voice was urgent. Could he be witnessing a battle between two geniuses?

Wind Breaker was also informed of the situation through his earpiece, and turned around just in time to see Li Chen approaching at lightning speed.

Immediately, Wind Breaker deduced that Li Chen must have floored the throttle and never let up.

This guy has a terrifying ability to control the bike!

However, Wind Breaker’s fighting spirit was ignited. No matter who you are, come and battle!
