Chapter 125: I'll give you one minute!
"Dare you?"
These two words were like a slap in the face, landing crisply on Zhao Shao's cheek.
The crowd of onlookers fell silent instantly, all eyes focused on the ten-meter-high diving platform.
That's a platform used by professional athletes for aerial tricks. Although there's an air cushion underneath, jumping down naked...
This is not just physical pain; it's a social death within the entire circle of rich kids.
Zhao Shao's face flushed red and then turned pale, and the veins on his neck bulged out.
"Fine! You've got guts!"
Zhao Shao gritted his teeth and slammed his ski pole on the ground. "If you lose, not only will you have to kowtow, but you'll also have to lend your girl to the brothers to drink with!"
"Snapped!"
A crisp sound.
No one saw how Zhang Yan made his move.
All that could be seen was Zhao Shao spinning around like a top that had been whipped, half a circle in place, half of his face instantly swelling up like a steamed bun, and two bloody back teeth flying directly into the snow.
"Watch your mouth."
Zhang Yan waved his hand, his tone as calm as if he were discussing what to have for dinner, "This is what your father taught you."
"If there's a next time, it won't be your teeth that fly out, it will be your tongue."
The entire room fell silent.
The foreign coaches who had been making a fuss immediately shut up and stared at Zhang Yan warily.
Zhao Shao covered his face, his eyes filled with resentment and venom, but he was afraid.
That slap just now felt like he'd been hit by a hammer, his head was buzzing.
"Let's...let's compete!"
He shouted indistinctly, "Jack! Cripple him!"
The former professional player named Jack cracked his neck and sneered in broken Chinese, "Boy, you'll pay for your arrogance."
The two quickly put on their skis and stood at the starting point.
It was a wild trail that hadn't been snowpacked, with an extremely steep slope and rocks and trees running through the middle. Even professional athletes would have to be very careful going down it.
"Ready?"
Zhang Yan slowly adjusted his gloves.
"Enough with the nonsense!"
Zhao Shao couldn't wait to see Zhang Yan break his leg.
"OK."
Zhang Yan suddenly pulled out his phone from his pocket, turned on the timer, and then plopped down on the snow.
"Then you guys go first."
He yawned and waved at the dumbfounded Zhao Shao, "I'll give you a minute's grace."
"What did you say?"
Zhao Shao thought he had misheard.
"One minute."
Zhang Yan pointed to his phone, "This ski slope is too short. If I don't give you some time, you might not even be able to see my taillights, which would be too discouraging."
mad!
That's absolutely outrageous!
The surrounding onlookers gasped in shock.
In a race of this caliber, let alone a minute, even a second is an insurmountable chasm!
"Zhang Yan! Are you crazy?"
Nie Qingcheng was so anxious that she tried to pull him away, "That's a professional player! How can he win if you give him even a minute?"
"rest assured."
Zhang Yan patted the back of her hand and pulled down his helmet visor. "Even if I let him take the cable car down first, I can still win."
"Fuck!"
Jack felt deeply humiliated. He roared, pushed off with his ski poles, and shot out like a cannonball.
Zhao Shao followed closely behind. Although his skills were not as good as Jack's, he was still quite skilled. The two disappeared from the top of the hill in an instant.
Time passed second by second.
Zhang Yan sat on the snow and, out of boredom, even grabbed a handful of snow and sculpted a duck.
Nie Qingcheng was so anxious that she spun around in place, almost squeezing her snow pole out of shape.
The onlookers whispered among themselves, all thinking that the kid was just showing off and would definitely crash and burn later.
"58, 59, 60."
Zhang Yan tossed the snow duck in his hand aside.
"I'm gone."
Before he could finish speaking, he had already sprung into the air.
There were no unnecessary movements, no fancy preparations.
If Jack was a cannonball, then Zhang Yan was a ray of light.
A black beam of death light tore through the snowfield.
[God-level Skiing Mastery] unlocked.
In Zhang Yan's view, the originally complex ski slope instantly transformed into a series of flowing data.
Wind speed, snow quality, friction, gravitational acceleration... all the physical parameters constructed an optimal path in his mind.
That's not a route a normal person would take.
That's a straight line!
"Holy crap! Is he insane?!"
At the top of the hill, someone holding binoculars screamed, "He didn't slow down! There's a cliff ahead!"
When Zhang Yan encountered the first steep slope, he did not slow down by taking an S-curve as is the usual way to ski. Instead, he lowered his center of gravity and almost pressed his entire body against the snow, rushing straight toward the five-meter-high fault line.
The wind whistled past my ears.
Zhang Yan not only didn't slow down, but instead pushed off hard with his skis.
take off!
He drew a breathtaking arc in the air, directly crossing the most troublesome area of jagged rocks.
The moment it landed, the snowboard sliced into the deep powder snow, kicking up a cloud of white mist.
too fast!
He was so fast that the camera could barely capture his image.
At this moment, we were halfway up the mountain.
Zhao Shao was gritting his teeth as he followed behind Jack.
"That idiot's probably still up on the mountaintop, eating nothing but wind!"
Zhao Shao secretly gloated, "Serves you right for showing off. Just wait and see how you'll be kneeling and kowtowing later!"
Jack glanced back, and the empty ski slopes gave him a disdainful smile.
"Boss, it looks like we've got this in the bag."
However, the moment he finished speaking...
A strange sound came from behind.
That wasn't the sound of snowboards scraping against each other, that was... the sound of air being cut!
Jack instinctively turned around.
Then, he saw the most terrifying scene of his life.
A dark shadow was flying close to the treetops at a speed that defied the laws of physics.
"What the……"
Before he could even utter that word, Zhang Yan had already arrived.
At that narrow bend, Jack had intended to use his body to block the path.
But Zhang Yan had no intention of taking the inner route.
He used a fallen, dead tree as a springboard, scraped his skis hard against the trunk, and soared into the air, flying directly over Jack's head!
Goodbye!
Zhang Yan's voice drifted away in the wind.
The immense wind pressure even startled Jack so much that he lost his balance and fell flat on his face, dragging Zhao Shao behind him into a heap as well.
But this is not the end.
The finish line is in sight.
Zhang Yan did not cross the finish line.
When he was ten meters from the finish line, he suddenly braked and then did a beautiful 180-degree turn.
With their backs to the finish line.
Then, it slid backwards.
He even had the leisure to give the middle finger to Zhao Shao, who had just gotten up and was looking completely bewildered.
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
The crowd waiting at the foot of the mountain was so astonished by the figure that ran backwards across the finish line and came to a steady stop that their jaws nearly dropped.
Is this something a human could do?
Is this ballet on the snow?!
A few minutes later, Zhao Shao and Jack slid down, looking disheveled.
Zhao Shao's face was already swollen, and now it was as black as the bottom of a pot.
