Chapter 442: Super Phoenix Slayer System, activate!
Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
After a careful look, the person turned out to be Venerable White!
No wonder there wasn't a number on his hand-guided tractor. After all, Venerable White wasn't participating as a contestant, but as a referee.
I'm done for! Bumping into someone else is already bad enough. But now, I'm going to bump into Venerable White of all people! I'm dead! Fairy Dongfang felt that tears would soon flow out of her eyes.
Luckily, Venerable White timely discovered that there was something wrong with Fairy Dongfang.
Just as her hand-guided tractor was about to bump into his, Venerable White braked and elegantly dodged the incoming Fairy Dongfang.
"Don't panic, calm down." Venerable White used his gentle voice to comfort her.
"Senior, I'm trying my best to calm down," Fairy Dongfang said. She also wished she could calm down. But if willpower alone was enough to solve everything, there wouldn't be so many accidents in the world.
Sometimes, even if kamikaze drivers were madly pressing onto the accelerator, what they wanted to do in reality was to press on the brake.
Just in this fashion, Fairy Dongfang's hand-guided tractor kept rushing forward with a strange pattern.
Right at this time, Fairy Dongfang shouted, "Senior White, give me your blessings!"
As she shouted, her voice started to get more and more distant.
"..." Venerable White.
Alright, it shouldn't be a problem if I merely wish her good luck.
"I wish you good luck, Fairy Dongfang," Venerable White replied.
"Thanks~" Fairy Dongfang's voice echoed from afar.
However, her situation didn't improve even after Senior White's blessing. Her hand-guided tractor was still on a rampage as before.
The other contestants could only bitterly smile and try their best to dodge her; the whole scene was in an uproar.
❄️❄️❄️
With Fairy Dongfang carelessly operating her vehicle and madly dashing about on the dangerous race track, it was very easy for her to chance upon certain things… the traps that covered the entire place.
Thereupon, it didn't pass a long time before she bumped into one.
The trap emitted a blinding light...
The happy voice of the host echoed. The hand-guided tractor number 37 belonging to Fairy Dongfang seems to have lost control due to its excessive speed! Oh, this is a disaster! The other contestants had to decrease their speed sharply to dodge Fairy Dongfang. Wait, careful… ouch, Fairy Dongfang carelessly activated a trap! Now, what kind of trap did she activate? Will it be an explosive landmine? Or something that will make her return to the starting point? Or one of those lucky traps that would allow her to get far ahead on the race track?
Maybe it's one of those traps that make one return to the starting point? All the fellow daoists hoped this was the case. At this time, the most suitable trap for Fairy Dongfang was the one that would send her to the starting point!
Otherwise, a trap like the one Soft Feather activated earlier wasn't bad, either. It would directly deliver Fairy Dongfang toward the front. That way, someone else would suffer in their stead!
It was better to leave a kamikaze driver like Fairy Dongfang to those fellow daoists in the front with better driving skills. Weaklings like them wouldn't be able to bear all this suffering!
However, Fairy Dongfang didn't coil toward the sky after she activated the trap. On the other hand, many glittering runes appeared on the body of her vehicle.
In the end, the runes changed into an illusory spirit butterfly!
The delicate spirit butterfly gently flapped its wings… in the next moment, Fairy Dongfang made a terrifying discovery; the speed of her hand-guided tractor had increased again.
Moreover, it wasn't an increase of two or three times… the speed increased by at least thirty times!
The already incredibly fast hand-guided tractor had now received another boost that increased its speed by thirty times. Fairy Dongfang was so scared that the thought of leaving the vehicle and running away flashed through her mind.
However, she felt that it was improper to leave the sinking ship. After all, who knew what kind of disaster would this vehicle cause now that it was out of control? She was a girl with a great sense of responsibility.
I can do it! As long as I manage to calm down, I can do it! Fairy Dongfang thought to herself.
Moreover, she felt that this might be the right opportunity to stop being a suicidal driver.
Thereupon, she concentrated and tried to operate her hand-guided tractor number 37, dashing about madly on the race track.
"No! Fairy Dongfang, quickly turn to the right!"
"Bang…" The sound of the violent impact resulting from tailgating echoed.
"Fairy Dongfang, try to calm down! Nothing bad will happen, just try to steadily make an L-shaped turn and get past us… ah!"
"Bang, bang..." The sound of two vehicles overturning echoed.
"Careful! Fairy Dongfang, don't suddenly slam on the brakes! Otherwise, the tractor will backflip!"
"Boom, boom, boom…" Fairy Dongfang's hand-guided tractor backflipped and finally squashed the tractor of another fellow daoist in the backlines.
The race track became a place of chaos and suffering.
This wasn't even a competition anymore… it was simply a massacre!
Fellow daoists watching from home, perhaps you will be surprised or scared by this scene. But I ask you not to panic. Although it feels as though the hand-guided tractor number 37 is brutally murdering its companions, this isn't the aim of the competition. The hand-guided tractor competition is supposed to be a 'peaceful' and 'lovely' competition.
Fairy Dongfang's face was completely red due to the shame she was feeling at this moment.
Although she knocked over and squashed the tractors of several other daoists, they were all protected by powerful defensive formations. Therefore, they could simply lift up them up once she was gone and keep racing.
But earlier, she indeed felt as though an evil wolf had suddenly pounced inside a flock of sheep… and she herself was the wolf.
Luckily, the 'speed increasing spirit butterfly' attached to her vehicle started to weaken. Her speed that had increased by thirty times had almost returned to normality.
Moreover, Fairy Dongfang had started to gradually understand how to handle her speedy 'vehicle'. She felt that her driving skills had greatly improved at this time.
"I just have to go in a straight line. I don't need to do anything else," Fairy Dongfang muttered to himself.
Since Fairy Dongfang dashed about madly on the race track and created a lot of confusion, Song Shuhang controlled Young Master Phoenix Slayer's body and slowly but steadily surpassed over ten seniors, getting to the 21st place.
❄️❄️❄️
Soon after, he saw from afar the madly dashing about Fairy Dongfang, and in an even further place, a figure walking on the edge of the road while carrying along a wrecked tractor.
That figure was… Thrice Reckless Mad Saber!
Thrice Reckless was dragging his damaged hand-guided tractor along and bringing it to the edge of the race track.
On the edge of the road was a big maintenance box, and there was a chance that it could allow Thrice Reckless Mad Saber to fix his hand-guided tractor.
But right at this time...
"Aaaaah~ Fellow Daoist Thrice Reckless, quickly get out of the way!" A piercing cry echoed from afar.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber turned his head around to take a look. In the next moment, he was dumbfounded.
He saw Fairy Dongfang operating her hand-guided tractor number 37 and rushing toward him like a wild horse.
"Nooooo~" Thrice Reckless Mad Saber agonizing voice came directly from his soul. He was so aggrieved that even his tone was one of desperation.
"Moveeeeee~" Fairy Dongfang screamed.
In the next second, her hand-guided tractor squashed Thrice Reckless Mad Saber's already damaged tractor.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble…" Fairy Dongfang's hand-guided tractor disappeared in the distance, leaving behind a trail of black smoke.
The corner of Thrice Reckless Mad Saber's mouth twitched as he withdrew his defensive barrier.
Then, he turned his head around and looked at this hand-guided tractor. The marks of two tires were now left on it.
At the critical time, Thrice Reckless wasn't able to protect the tractor timely. It was already a miracle that he was able to protect himself.
After looking at his vehicle, Thrice Reckless was heartbroken. "Why do bad things always happen to me?!"
❄️❄️❄️
At this time, Song Shuhang smoothly surpassed Thrice Reckless Mad Saber.
"Senior Thrice Reckless, good luck. You have already become quite a view on the race track." Then, he controlled Young Master Phoenix Slayer's body and waved his hand at Thrice Reckless Mad Saber with a smile on his face.
He had prepared this sentence three seconds earlier so that he could smoothly say it while passing next to Thrice Reckless Mad Saber.
Song Shuhang felt that his ability to plan things ahead of time was becoming better and better.
As the saying goes: 'what goes around, comes around'. Earlier, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber taunted Song Shuhang, saying that he had become quite a view on the race track. In the next moment, he was the one that became the view on the race track.
After surpassing Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, Song Shuhang was now placed 20th in this hand-guided tractor competition.
Venerable White told him that he had to place amongst the first ten. Therefore, there were still ten opponents to surpass.
"This is so stressing!" Song Shuhang muttered to himself.
Moreover, he didn't even know what kind of modifications Young Master Phoenix Slayer carried out to the hand-guided tractor. Although its speed wasn't bad, Song Shuhang felt as though it lacked something.
Other contestants had added explosive and spectacular abilities to their tractors. For example, True Monarch White Crane had two rockets attached to the rear of its tractor; Dharma King Creation could use buddhist scriptures to strengthen and speed up his hand-guided tractor; Scholar Drunken Man had a huge drill mounted on his… they all had their special characteristics.
Was it possible that this hand-guided tractor that Young Master Phoenix Slayer modified didn't have any special ability to suddenly increase its speed?
No, it must have one. How can a vehicle without the ability to sprint forward even be called a vehicle?
Song Shuhang was in deep thoughts.
If the tractor has a 'sprinting ability'… perhaps it might have something to do with that button!
Song Shuhang was a meticulous person. Therefore, he carefully examined Young Master Phoenix Slayer's hand-guided before the start of the competition, trying his best to keep in mind what kind of modifications he carried out.
Now that he thought about it, there was a covered up green-colored button on the edge of the seat.
Should I give it a try? Song Shuhang thought to himself.
If he kept going on at this current speed without any sprinting ability, he wouldn't be able to enter the first ten unless all the seniors ahead encountered some problems.
And the probability that all of them would run into difficulties was rather low.
It that case, he might as well try to fight till the end… speaking of which, that muddle-headed Young Master Phoenix Slayer casually shifted his consciousness to his body and didn't even bother explaining how he modified his tractor!
After thinking this much, Song Shuhang gave a command to his body. Three seconds later, Young Master Phoenix Slayer's hand moved toward the right of the seat and uncovered that green-colored button, pressing it.
Super Phoenix Slayer Battle Armor System, activate!
The system is being initialized...
Identity of the driver confirmed as 'Master Phoenix Slayer'.
System ready.
Hello, Master Phoenix Slayer. The Super Phoenix Slayer Battle Armor System is at your disposal. Do you wish to carry out the transformation?
"What? A transformation?" For some reason, this technologically advanced device gave Song Shuhang an ominous feeling...
