Beyblade: You call this a four-wheel drive vehicle?

Chapter 231: Test of Courage

"It's the final sprint!" The commentators stared intently at the two cars on the track that were pushing their performance to the limit, afraid of missing every moment.

"Tai Chi War Dragon, energy titanium steel sheet, restrictions lifted, thrusters, start!" Lin Che shouted, and on the surface of the Tai Chi War Dragon's body, streams of light began to converge towards the Tai Chi diagram on the thrusters, and surging airflow gushed out.

"Turbocharger, full power, on!" Michael was not willing to be outdone. Sparks appeared in the chip compartment of the Iron Wolf. Compared to the Tai Chi War Dragon's thrusters that had undergone countless tests and actual combat and had excellent stability, the Iron Wolf's temporarily installed test version of the turbocharger put too much load on the car.

However, Michael, who had reached a resonance with the Iron Wolf at this moment, felt better than ever.

Although he had previously found it very difficult to control the Iron Wolf for short bursts, he now felt that the car was like a part of his body. He could intuitively feel every hidden detail of the car and make adjustments with just a thought.

Therefore, even under the full force of this extremely unstable turbocharger system, the Iron Wolf still remained stable.

At this moment, in the German team's rest area, the technical team of Mercedes-Benz was celebrating as if it were New Year's Day.

"I knew he could do it!"

"This is the next generation of leading driver of our Mercedes-Benz!"

To be honest, when Michael proposed to install this device on the car, which could currently only be used normally in laboratories and simulation software, they were reluctant to agree. But Michael insisted again and again, so they made this semi-finished device. But no one expected that Michael could perfectly control this device that could explode at any time after being activated. So, as long as they developed a complete and reliable finished product based on Michael's usage data, it would only be a matter of time.

"Can you still keep up?" Lin Che frowned slightly, "Then what about this? Tai Chi War Dragon, second stage advance!"

The Tai Chi War Dragon released the accumulated energy instantly, and the airflow in the thrusters became more and more violent.

"Iron Wolf! Increase power output, turbocharger, overload!" A shrill roar was heard from the body of the Iron Wolf. It seemed that the Iron Wolf would explode in the next second, but its speed was not slow at all. This was the first time that someone could fully keep up with the Tai Chi War Dragon during the second stage of propulsion.

"Iron Wolf, hold on a little longer!" Michael gritted his teeth as he felt the feeling transmitted back by the Iron Wolf. At this moment, the end was in sight. There was no reason for either Michael or the Iron Wolf to give up.

"Charge! Tai Chi War Dragon!" Lin Che also felt the strong fighting spirit coming from the Iron Wolf and Michael, and rushed forward together with the Tai Chi War Dragon.

The two cars rushed to the finish line at an extremely astonishing speed.

"Arrived at the finish line!" The four-wheel drive fighter at the finish line waved the flag vigorously after the two cars passed the finish line.

After passing the finish line, the Tai Chi War Dragon, with its power drained, stopped to cool down, while black smoke began to billow from the body of the Iron Wolf.

"Iron Wolf!" Michael squatted down anxiously and dismantled the body of the Iron Wolf. The delicate turbocharger component on the chassis was already charred black.

"It's amazing! There was no winner when the two cars crossed the finish line! Even under the 1000 times slow motion camera, there was no winner!" At this time, the voice of the four-wheel drive fighter sounded behind the two of them.

"Did we lose again?" Michael sighed when he heard that. The two of them were tied, which meant that the victory would be decided by the next driver who reached the finish line first. However, in order to create an environment for him to compete against Lin Che, Ye Li and the others could no longer keep up with the speed of the other members of the Hua Xia Fighting Dragon Team.

Sure enough, half a minute later, the outer demon bat crossed the finish line and secured victory.

"You're really amazing. After the Mid-Season Championship, I thought it would take you a long time to adjust." Lin Che stretched out his hand to Michael, and after Michael took it, he pulled him up. "Improve that device. If it can be more stable, you will be the winner of this game."

"That's true." Michael shrugged, no longer dwelling on the outcome of a game. With the current score in Group A, their hope of catching up with the Huaxia War Dragons is slim, but they are still a safe bet to qualify as the second in the group. "Then see you in the finals."

"See you in the finals." Lin Che said with a smile.

After the competition, Lin Che sent the design drawings of the fan back to China, and packed the Tai Chi War Dragon and sent it by express delivery back to China.

After finishing all this, Lin Che returned to the research institute and took out the Lightspeed War Dragon. After some simple maintenance, he adjusted the structure of the Lightspeed War Dragon based on what he learned in the system course.

However, that evening when he was having a snack after training, Dr. Chen received a call from Teacher Tie Xin.

"Do special training on the cross-country track while escaping the summer heat? That sounds good." Dr. Chen was very interested in the invitation from the caring teacher.

After hanging up the phone, Dr. Chen looked at the people at the table who were showing off the porridge cooked by Hao Shu.

The Victory Team invited us to go to the mountains where Teacher Tie Xin once lived in seclusion for cross-country training. I think it’s a good idea. What do you think?

"Going into the mountains again?" Chen Xiaohu's face immediately turned bitter. It seemed that the last incident left him with a big shadow.

"No, aren't the five people from the Victory Team enough for Old Deng to play with?" Based on Lin Che's understanding of Tie Xin Old Deng, the so-called cross-country training probably means that Old Deng is just bored and wants to find a few kids to play with.

"Should we go or not?" Huo Yuesheng asked.

"I think we should still go. Although our off-road capability has been greatly improved after installing micro shock absorbers, it is still far behind those strong teams in this area. Training with them will always be more effective than training on our own." Gao Xiaoman said.

"If that's the case, let's go together." Lin Che nodded.

The next day, the two teams went into the mountains together, carrying large and small bags, and started a four-day closed training session.

Although it was a closed training camp, there were indeed a lot of people who came this time. In addition to the players and coaches of the two teams, the Four Wheel Drive Fighters also brought teacher Zhumei to join in the fun. On the Chinese War Dragon team's side, they brought Hao Shu who missed the last camping.

The first day of training was quite normal. The quiet mountains were free of the heat of the city. Everyone's cars were running freely. After training, there were fruit drinks and the food was pollution-free vegetables from the mountains.

The training lasted until the evening. After dinner, everyone returned to the room. On the big bunk bed in the room, including Jiromaru and Haoshu, the twelve children blew out the candles early and prepared to go to bed.

But usually no one is asleep at this time, and those who can’t sleep decide to have some fun.

"Why don't we continue telling ghost stories?" Huo Yuesheng's suicidal spirit was burning.

"Forget it. I don't know who was scared into the hospital last time by the ghost story I told." Gao Xiaoman complained casually.

"Yes, yes, I think we should just forget it." The two people on the Victory Team who were most afraid of ghosts nodded hurriedly.

But at this moment, gusts of cold wind were heard outside the room, and a black shadow flashed past the window.

Everyone:! ! !
"Teacher Tie Xin, is it really so fun to scare children?" Lin Che shouted speechlessly out the window.

“Oh my, you little brat are really not cute at all.” Teacher Tie Xin’s identity was exposed, so she simply walked in with a candle and looked at Lin Che with disdain, “I shouldn’t have asked you to come here if I had known.”

Lin Che's face was filled with black lines.

"Why don't we play a game?" Teacher Tie Xin glanced at everyone and smiled mysteriously.

"I heard that you were actually scared to death by the ghost stories you told last time. This is not okay. World Cup players can't be so timid." "It doesn't seem to matter whether you are a World Cup player or not." Lin Che complained from the side.

Teacher Tie Xin ignored Lin Che and continued, "Then let's have a courage contest after tomorrow's training."

"Okay, okay!" Upon hearing that there was a competition, a few idiots in the group nodded hurriedly.

"It's decided then!" Teacher Tie Xin made the decision immediately without giving anyone a chance to object. "The winner will get a special prize."

"Did you just agree to him like that?" After Tie Xin Lao Deng left, Xiao Lie looked at Xiao Hao, Huo Yuesheng and Hao Shu in disbelief who had just nodded in agreement.

"Why don't you agree if there is a competition?" Xiao Hao said without thinking.

"Xiao Lie, are you afraid of ghosts?" Huo Yuesheng nudged Xiao Lie with his shoulder with a wicked smile.

"No! No! How is it possible!" Xiao Lie denied it three times in a row. Although he was indeed afraid of ghosts, how could he admit it directly?
"What's there to be afraid of ghosts? There's one living in our institute," said Gao Xiaoman.

After spending every day with Xiao You, the members of the China War Dragon Team are more receptive to ghosts than those of the Victory Team.

"Since there is a game tomorrow, let's go to bed early today." Huo Yuesheng said.

"I will definitely be the winner tomorrow!" Xiao Hao said, lying down.

……

The next day, during training, Xiao Lie and Ying Yulong were somewhat absent-minded. The terrifying-sounding game in the evening was always hanging in their minds.

After a day's training and dinner, Tie Xin Lao Deng, the coaches of the two teams, and the four-wheel drive fighters gathered everyone outside the cabin. A runway leading deep into the jungle had been prepared at some point.

"Everyone! Welcome to the test of courage race. Only the bravest children can complete the whole course!" The four-wheel drive fighter took over the hosting of the game and introduced the rules of the game.

"The twelve of you will be divided into two teams by drawing lots, with six people in each team."

"Then, you will hold this candle in turn and run along this 1.5-kilometer track. This candle is only enough for you to run half the distance, so you have to replace the candles we have prepared in advance in the temple in the middle, and then come back here. Okay, now let's draw lots."

The draw was completed, and Lin Che, Ying Yulong, Chen Xiaohu, Xiao Lie, Hao Shu, and J were assigned to the same group.

"Who goes first?" Lin Che looked at his teammates.

Everyone looked normal, except for Yingyulong, whose face looked as if water could drip out.

"Let me go first!" Hao Shu was the first to raise his hand, and the little brother stood out as fearless.

On the other side, Jiromaru was the first to be sent out.

Soon, the two of them set off holding candles, while the others stayed at the starting point.

"Huh? Where are the coaches?" Chen Xiaohu asked curiously because he found that the two coaches and other adults who were here just now had disappeared without a trace.

"I guess he went to play ghost on the road." Gao Xiaoman said, with a look of disgust on her face, "These adults are really bored."

“I didn’t expect that our coach has learned bad things from that old man Tie Xin.” Fujiyoshi said.

On the other side, not long after Hao Shu and Jiromaru set off, the sound of metal colliding was heard from the dense forest around them, and the two of them looked frightened.

Suddenly, two figures in black armor emerged from the dense forest and ran towards the two people on the side of the road.

The two were startled and ran away.

The two people's car also accelerated.

After chasing for a while, the two armored men stopped chasing them. After watching the two men run away, one of them took off his helmet. It was Fujiyoshi's super butler Hikosuke.

"Have we succeeded in scaring them?" Yan Zuo asked.

"That's right." A hesitant voice came from another armored 4WD fighter, "If he wasn't scared, he wouldn't run so fast."

"What the hell! Not even giving us time to react!" Hao Shu complained after the two ran away.

"That's right, they suddenly appeared and I had no idea what they were going to do." Jiromaru also complained.

It can be seen that, rather than being scared by the ghost, the two were more frightened by the noise made by their sudden appearance.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the temple. At this time, a figure in white clothes, white hair and a ferocious mask walked slowly out of the shadow of the temple and showed his fangs and claws in front of them.

The two of them walked up calmly, took the candles on the table and replaced them, then ignored the man and started again.

"Didn't they get scared?" The ghost took off his mask and revealed himself to be Dr. Chen, the coach of the Chinese War Dragons. "It's really hard to fool kids nowadays."

At this time, Huo Yuesheng and Xiao Lie had already set off.

The Alien Demon Bat and Sonic were running on the track at a leisurely pace.

At this time, a graceful woman in a yellow veil and a fox-ear mask walked out of the forest, "Look..."

But before he could finish his words, Huo Yuesheng pulled Xiao Lie up and ran away without looking back.

"Strange, why do they react like this?" The woman took off her mask. Teacher Zhu Mei took out her script with a confused look on her face. It had a sentence "Have you seen my sister?" "I haven't even finished my words, why are you running away?"

"Fortunately we ran fast, otherwise we would be dead." Huo Yuesheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was chasing him.

"What was that just now?" Xiao Lie asked tremblingly.

"I didn't expect to meet a yellow-skinned guy asking for a title in Neon." Huo Yuesheng said with lingering fear.
