This was an exaggeration; in reality, he was about the same age as those drivers.
But it wasn't an exaggeration to say that Lu Chen genuinely had the ability to challenge them! He took a deep breath, focusing his energy in his dantian, channeling his strength into his hands and feet, and settling more steadily in his seat.
Martial arts cultivation aids in racing, making one's spirit more invigorated, eyes sharper, and senses more acute. Although Lu Chen hadn't mastered his family's martial arts techniques, using some basic martial arts knowledge for racing was still quite effective.
And as he focused his energy and concentrated fully, he soon felt a small but wondrous power flowing through him. Then, he experienced an extremely strange sensation.
The curvature and steepness of the curves ahead seemed to be transmitted into his brain by some kind of eerie data. The actions of the sports car in front, how it intended to block him, and even the driver's initial thoughts, were all subtly fed into Lu Chen's mind by data points.
Thus, Lu Chen understood everything perfectly.
At this moment, he was like a highly sophisticated and responsive computer, rapidly processing data and reacting accordingly.
For example, the driver in the Maserati ahead, seeing Lu Chen trying to overtake him on a sharp turn, quickly swerved to block his path.
However, Lu Chen had already absorbed his reaction. When the Maserati lunged to block him, Lu Chen didn't rush in that direction; instead, he chose the direction the Maserati yielded to!
Whoosh! He sped past in an instant, the wind seeming to make the Maserati sway!
The Hummer's powerful performance was on full display!
Inside the Maserati, the driver was stunned, muttering in shock, "Impossible! Even if he knew I'd stop him like that, how could he have timed it so perfectly? It's like he knew exactly when I was going to park the car! This guy is terrifying, who is he? Where did he come from?"
No matter what, he could only watch the Hummer disappear into the distance.
At this moment, Lu Chen also realized what kind of superpower this suddenly appeared.
It was the Divine Calculation ability!
The Divine Calculation ability had actually appeared before. When Lu Chen first met Shangguan Bei, it gave him a premonition of the assassins who were going to kill her, thus preventing a swift and deadly attack.
Later, its greatest help was allowing Lu Chen to subdue the three assassins from the Seven Colors Assassin Organization who were hunting Yu Menglan. It was able to unearth the three men's most unbearable memories, using them as weapons to strike their minds, throwing them into chaos and allowing Lu Chen to subdue them.
After that, this fortune teller with supernatural abilities always remained elusive, appearing and disappearing like a dragon.
Now, he's actually shown himself!
Lu Chen was secretly delighted; his arrival couldn't have been more timely!
Eight sports cars were racing, and Lu Chen had already overtaken six. Ahead of him were Frank and Chris, the strongest drivers in this race!
At the starting line of the race, the spectators were practically in an uproar. Although they hadn't witnessed the entire race, every kilometer or two along the track, someone was filming with a DV camera. These recordings were transmitted in real-time via electromagnetic waves to a computer at the starting line, and then projected onto a screen.
Thus, everyone saw how the Hummer, despite being far slower than the sports cars, used its stable body and the driver's exceptionally agile movements to leave them behind at the corners.
"Look, that Hummer! Such a heavy car, and it can still drift! How did that driver do that? It's unbelievable!"
"But the most amazing thing isn't that. Did you guys notice? That Hummer driver seems to have precognitive abilities. He knew the car in front was trying to stop him and took the opportunity to overtake. Who is this driver?"
"There's only Chris and Frank ahead of him, getting closer and closer! Do you think he can overtake him?"
"I think it's unlikely. After all, Chris and Frank are top-tier drivers!"
"Yeah, and I think those two will team up to teach that mystery driver a lesson!"
"I bet two thousand dollars that the mystery driver won't be able to overtake him. He'll be third at best!"
"I bet three thousand dollars that he can overtake him! He's just too good."
...
As the commotion continued, quite a few people actually started placing bets.
As one audience member mentioned, Chris and Frank were quite surprised when they saw a Hummer pull away from the other sports cars and surge ahead of them. After their initial surprise, they quickly discussed their strategy over the walkie-talkie. In short, despite their initial annoyance, they needed to unite against a common enemy.
That Hummer driver was too arrogant; they had to teach him a lesson and not let him get past them!
Otherwise, where would their pride be? Two top-notch drivers, letting some random guy in a Hummer take first place?
So, the Koenigsegg and Aston Martin immediately positioned themselves one after the other.
Sure enough, although the two supercars were incredibly fast, the winding mountain roads prevented them from fully utilizing their speed, and the Hummer closed the gap.
At a rather steep bend, whoosh! Suddenly, the Hummer was only a dozen meters behind the two cars in front.
The Koenigsegg and Aston Martin seemed to be in perfect sync; the former positioned itself in the left lane, and the latter in the right, about two meters apart. Their positioning was also quite cunning, centrally located with only a little over a meter of road exposed on either side—just wide enough for a motorcycle to pass.
In this way, the Koenigsegg and Aston Martin blocked the Hummer behind, navigating the curve one after the other. Their speed was around 150 km/h.
Surrounding that curve at that speed was extremely dangerous; most drivers might not have been able to handle it.
A single misstep could send them plunging off the cliff. Frank and Chris, however, were undeniably skilled and daring. Their positioning was also for ease of maneuvering; driving side-by-side at high speeds could have resulted in collisions. This tactic also made intercepting oncoming vehicles much more agile.
It seems that although Frank and Chris look down on each other, they actually work together quite well.
This isn't the first time they've done something like this.
They both sneered inwardly: Where did this brat come from? With the two racing gods working together, let's see how he gets ahead! Maybe we'll even crash and kill him!
"Chen, what do we do? It looks dangerous," Xu Jiaqi asked in a panic.
Lu Chen smiled calmly: "It's not dangerous. Jiaqi, if you're scared, close your eyes. Don't worry, it'll be over soon. Two kids trying to race me? It's like trying to teach Buddhism in front of Tang Sanzang!"
Xu Jiaqi obediently closed her eyes tightly.
Lu Chen's eyes were fixed on the road ahead, a wicked smile playing on his lips: "Two little foreign devils trying to play with me? Let's see who wins! Ha!" He muttered, his blood boiling with excitement.
Originally, he could have easily overtaken the two guys ahead by using his supernatural powers, making it effortless for him to surge forward. However, winning that way would be too boring.
To win, he had to win head-on!
Another sharp bend was approaching, the road surface sloping towards the cliff edge. At that angle, a soccer ball placed on it would definitely roll right off the cliff.
The Koenigsegg and Aston Martin had to gradually reduce their speed as they approached the bend. At the same time, to ensure safety and avoid a collision, the two cars further increased the distance while maintaining the effectiveness of their formation.
Although the Hummer was powerful, neither Frank nor Chris believed it would dare to charge straight at them!
Ordinary bends were one thing, but this was a bend where the road surface sloping towards the edge of a cliff. On this kind of bend, even drifting techniques are ineffective. The Hummer's bulk becomes a weakness; due to the tilt, a sudden front-end swerve at high speed could send the entire car rolling!
"Chris, I'll wait for that Hummer to come up, then swerve and ram its front. That way, that damn driver definitely won't dare slow down and will try to get to it. Then, I'll drop back down, you block its path, and I'll rush up and ram the Hummer's rear. Hey! I'll show him what I'm capable of and make him pay for his ignorance!"
Frank grinned menacingly.
"Frank, are you crazy? That's too dangerous! If they retaliate, you might crash into the cliff! Besides, I'll be in trouble too!" Chris was a little scared; he knew the risks.
Frank chuckled, "Chris, are you scared? I'm confident my skills are more than enough; I can definitely beat him. But if you lack confidence, I'll be very disappointed!"
Chris couldn't stand this provocation and yelled, "Who's scared? Do as you say! But if that kid crashes and dies, you're responsible!"
So, as they approached the bend, the Aston Martin slowed down further, creating distance from the Koenigsegg ahead. The Hummer, seemingly unaware of this scheme, surged forward.
Then, the Aston Martin executed a beautiful fishtail, its rear end swinging towards the Hummer's front.
While the Aston Martin's size didn't overpower the Hummer, the impact sent the Hummer lurching towards the cliff edge.
Of course, Lu Chen inside the Hummer swerved in the opposite direction and floored the accelerator, propelling it past the cliff. The reaction was swift, prompting Frank to secretly praise, "Not bad... but kid, this is just the beginning! You're about to die!"
His face twisted slightly, revealing a bloodthirsty expression.
The audience, who witnessed this scene on the projection screen through real-time filming, also cheered.
