The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 57
Advertisement
The moment Yang Dao started to climb the mountain, his aura changed. His whole being was as if a king walking through his kingdom. His eyes were calm and his breath was strong. Every pedal of his was firm and steady. The boy was accelerating uniformly. Ray was in front of him by 15 minutes now. But Yang Dao advanced without a care in his mind.
Icarus behind him slowly fell behind. He shook his head and slowly advanced the mountain. Yang Dao however did not slow down one bit. His feet were moving tirelessly. The speed was as high as 45 kph. This was something a human cannot do with all the air resistance and the gravity working against them.
Yang Dao at this moment had an air blanket around his body. How it worked was very simple. Yang Dao was manipulating the air ten meters ahead of him to part. It was like a spear attached to his bike and it would pierce through all air before his advance. This was a cheat but well he wasn't doing it constantly.
...
The boy was so indulged in moving forward that his cornering became extremely sharp. The people in the bus saw it and they all sucked in a cold breath. At a moment he was almost banging his head on the side rail. Despite all this danger, there was not a single ripple in his eyes.
Felix and Thomas had a smirk on their faces. Suddenly, Thomas said, "Felix, how about we take him to Inter Uni Cup?"
Felix was surprised by this question. He spoke, "Inter Uni Cup is very tough. Plus the second years have been training for it. Let them do it. Or it will not be good for Yang Dao."
A second-year heard this and his heart fell back to its place. He spoke, "We can ride his bike in the tournament. In that way, he will still be a part."
Felix snapped, "Tim, are you not thinking a bit too much of yourself. Who here is qualified to ride SILENCE? You only know the good side of it. Do you know that the gearbox in that bike is so precise that to shift gears you need to have a predefined speed otherwise it won't change? The suction cups on the pedal only hold on to your feet when you ride fast. Can you ride fast enough to have constant suction on your feet? The reason why Donal Eglasias did not buy that bike the moment it was announced was because of these reasons. Humph, ignorant."

His words came as a surprise to some while some decided to check whether what he said was true. Felix spoke, "Markus Hanaabi is not a god of designs. He is a Demonic God. They are only useable by those, who are destined to have the capabilities. Do you plebians think you can ride that bike? Fools." Felix was a noble descendant so his tone was not weird at all.
The rest of the people however blushed when they heard the facts. Thinking of this, it is indeed very difficult to win a tournament on that bike. Thomas shook his head and said, "Calm down. You guys always look down on Yang Dao thinking that he is good because of his bike. You are wrong. Also, given the amount of wealth he has, does he really need your opinion? Another thing, do not think that he is humble and easy to bully. Once you step on his feet, he will break your legs in return."
His words were both advice and a warning to the guys. The girls however were aware of it already. The headline in the campus forum a few days ago flashed in their minds, [Young Master Donnie can fly.]
Sasha exclaimed, "He caught up."
Everyone once again focused on the screen and they saw Yang Dao just ten meters away from Ray. The distance was closing but it was very minuscule. The air manipulation helped both Yang Dao and Ray at this moment.
...
Yang Dao was looking at Ray's back. He was tempted to start dancing and pass him but that would cost him a lot of stamina. So the struggle started. Yang Dao was not controlling the air blanket it was a subconscious thing. The only way to pass Ray now was steady pursuit. Wait for a chance.
Ray was also an expert. He would dip his head down and look at where Yang Dao was on the road then align his bike with Yang Dao's to block his passing route.
Yang Dao tried to break through five times but was shut out. Then it clicked to him. He observed Ray for a few seconds and his breathing changed. His pedaling also came into sync with Ray. This scene was being broadcasted inside the bus.
Thomas spoke, "This is what he did to me in the first race." he showed a bitter smile. Felix smirked and said, 'You offered him a race, not the other way around.
Thomas nodded as he let out a sigh.

...
Yang Dao followed Ray like a shadow. Except for the color of their bike and clothes, everything was the same. The way their chest heaved high and low. How their pedaling legs moved. Yang Dao once again charged forward. Just as he was about to close in Ray moved in to block. Yang Dao pressed his breaks slightly and as soon as his speed fell slightly. A gap was revealed from where Ray moved in.
Yang Dao stood up on his bike and shot like an arrow. He passed Ray with a whoosh.
Ray was not ready for this, Yang Dao had already taken a lead by 5 meters and it was not slowing down. Yang Dao had decided to sprint all the way to the top of the peak. The boy was shifted his back gear. One lower than before, this was enough relief for his legs. His legs felt light and he moved.
...
In the bus, Felix stood up from his seat, and holding on to a support bar he asked, "Did he just break Ray's block? Also, is he sprinting up the mountain?"
Normally people would hold the handle from the upper section but Yang Dao was using the lower one. He was really sprinting. Thomas could not hold on and said, "Fuck, he wants Ray to pay back for passing him." his voice created a ripple in the bus and all sorts of exclamations rang out.
...
Yang Dao was moving faster and faster. his face had a smile pasted on it. The scenery was changing faster than ever. It was a wonderful feeling. His wind control was evolving as well. Suddenly, his speed increased, the boy was being pushed ahead. Yes, he cast a gust behind him. The gust gave him a boost and he was moving at a speed of 60 kph.
...
The drone could only fly at a speed of 50 kph. It was dropping behind. Felix asked, "What is this? Dao is leaving behind the drone?" he quickly controlled the drone to fly a bit higher so that it could capture a much wider area.
Yang Dao was like a green snake slithering along the roads. Everyone was shocked at such a speed. They could not see that Yang Dao had a wind gust blowing now and then. The gust would give him a push. Thomas slowed down the bus and parked aside. He glanced at the screen carefully.
His pupils dilated and he said, "THERE IS A DUCT GUST." his voice was not low by any means.
A second-year asked, "Captain, what is a duct gust?"
Felix spoke, "Sometimes there is a wind gust on the mountain. This gust when flows through the roads due to the farm barriers, is called a Duct Gust. It is just like a wind flowing through the air condition duct. When a rider is riding in the direction of the gust, he/she will get a boost that would push them forward. It is such a strong boost that it can make your speed shoot up to 55 kph. It is fast but it is dangerous."
Thomas nodded and said, "Dao is insane. He is riding in such a strong gust. His speed is 50 kph and more but still, he is going strong. It has been only 30 minutes since he entered the mountain. Only one kilometer is left."
Yes, it was unknown when 30 minutes passed away but Yang Dao was probably going to break his record.
...
Back at the clubhouse, everyone looked at the smiling Yang Dao and the pale-faced Ray. Felix asked, "So, Dao, what will you cook for us?"
Yang Dao replied, "Hot-pot, Ramen, and I will order good Ice cream. Also, I wanted to ask. Can we invite some guests to watch the event tomorrow?"
Felix asked, "Who do you want to call?" he had a smile on his face.
Yang Dao spoke, "Sister Yun. She is usually very busy so I wanted her to take an off. I will call her now. Yes, how about I go ahead and prepare the food and you guys come later?"
Thomas nodded, he said, "Why don't you take the two managers with you they will be able to help you with the grocery."
Yang Dao shrugged and asked the girls to come with him. The two agreed and they left. Ray did not speak, he just sat there on a chair with blank eyes. He was defeated by Yang Dao with a gap of 20 minutes. The boy broke his climbing record by 10 minutes. The last time when Yang Dao was riding up to the mountain, it wasn't that close. But today Yang Dao reached the summit in 30.54 seconds. This was a heavy blow Ray suffered.

His motivation to pursue his studies, gone. This event caused Jacob to fall into the death grip that is a job in retail. One day, while Jacob was mopping the cold floors of the grocery store he worked in, a strange blue screen appeared in front of him, notifying him that the world was going through a change. Now if this change was a good or bad thing, he didn't know. But there was one thing Jacob knew for certain. He didn't have to mop the floors anymore. Author's Note: (This is my first story, and I would be very thankful if grammatical errors were pointed out. I could also take a few suggestions in the comments if you would. This is less a planned production, and more a little project that I'm winging as it goes. I will try and be consistent with at least 2 chapters a week. Also, as I am a completely new author, the number of words per chapter may fluctuate. The minimum will be around 1000 words, while other chapters may be 2000-3000. It will hopefully only get better with time.)
