Vroomm!

Xu Que maneuvered through the third curve smoothly!

The Old Driver's skill was flawless!

His rank jumped instantly to third place, and he was now following closely behind Qi Yun Fei and Gao Qiao Jie!

The two of them had originally wanted to try and drift like Xu Que, but they had seen what had happened to the other cultivator. They now hesitated.

As they were well-versed with divine chariots, they were able understand the reasons for what had happened!

The tires of their divine chariots were made of metal. If they tried to imitate what Xu Que did, it would be equivalent to going out for wool and coming home shorn!

Vroomm!

Finally, after drifting successfully for the five consecutive curves, Xu Que managed to overtake Qi Yun Fei and Gao Qiao Jie on the last curve and sped off into the distance!

His speed had already been so fast during the curve—now that he was driving on a straight path, he got even faster!

His racing car broke through the limit of the car's speedometer as it sped forward fiercely!

The whole audience looked a little numb. They had not expected this result!

After being stalled by the Second Prince and wasting a lot of time, Xu Que had still been able to catch up. Not only was he able to take first place once again, but the distance between himself and the rest of the contestants had grown too!

His show of prowess was certainly terrifying!

"Seventh Sister, you really are right about Xu Que! I really should thank you for this!" The Third Prince looked towards the Seventh Princess as he expressed his gratitude!

From that very first night when he had seen Xu Que grilling chicken wings, he had had a poor impression of him. He had not expected his sister to insist that Xu Que was a capable man with extraordinary origins, someone who was definitely worth their efforts in trying to win over!

The Third Prince had run out of options as well. The other princes interested in fighting for the position of Crown Prince were already wooing very influential clans and sects. He had been forced to make a gamble and offend the Jade Sword Sect in order to ensure a peaceful time in the Imperial City for Xu Que!

Now, he had been proven right in doing so. It was now certain that Xu Que would win first place in the race!

As for the Eldest Prince and the Eighth Prince, they did not look that dissatisfied, although their faces were slightly moodier than usual.

Although first place had been snatched away, Qi Yun Fei and Gao Qiao Jie would still be able to secure the places of first and second runners-up. To them, such results were acceptable.

However, this was not the case for the Second Prince! His team had originally been the hot favorite to win first place. But he had cast the barrier spell to obstruct Xu Que and in turn caused Zhang Lin's divine chariot to smash and fall out of the race!

The other elite cultivator he had invited was in third place, but as he had shouted for him to imitate Xu Que's drifting technique, the results had backfired and he had dropped out of the race!

Because of that, the Second Prince only had one team member left in the race. That cultivator was only barely managing to hold onto the tenth position!

That fact annoyed the Second Prince greatly and he was full of bitter acrimony!

The Second Prince had no other option now but to follow the Emperor's men to the foot of the mountain to receive his 100 strokes of the stick as punishment!

Although this was very embarrassing, the Second Prince dared not defy the orders. He could only bite the bullet. Wearing a sullen face, he received the punishment by lying on a bench whilst the guards started to hit his butt with a wooden rod!

Piak!

Piak!

Piak!

The sounds echoed throughout the Imperial Tombs!

The crowd looked on, sighing. They dared not discuss anything in front of the Second Prince. They could only laugh in their hearts!

At this point, Xu Que successfully reached the finish line, winning by a huge margin!

He picked up the glass of water, which had not spilled yet, and made sure to exit the car elegantly as well. Then he leaned on the car, lifted the glass high up in the air, and with a domineering look, asked casually, "is there anyone else?"

The crowd's lips twitched uncontrollably!

What kind of person is this? He has already won yet he is still flaunting!

The Metal Emperor was calm and observed Xu Que meaningfully.

In the distance, the Empress Dowager was still watching Xu Que silently!

"Second Fatty, does your butt hurt? Does your face hurt?"

Just then, Xu Que looked to the Second Prince, who was receiving the punishment at the foot of the mountain, and guffawed.

The Second Prince looked stiff and wore a murderous expression on his face. He continued to receive the punishment without saying a word…

Chariot King Zhang had already left the area, as there was no point staying to invite ridicule from others!

Shoosh!

At this moment, Qi Yun Fei and Gao Qiao Jie reached the finishing line!

Qi Yun Fei won second place by a very small margin and Gao Qiao Jie took third place!

Now, both of them dared not look lightly on Xu Que again!

They had realised that even if they had used the same divine chariot as Xu Que, they did not possess such skilful driving techniques!

"How did you do it?" asked Qi Yun Fei as he walked out of his divine chariot.

Everyone's curiosity was piqued and they waited to hear Xu Que's reply.

They also wanted to know how Xu Que was able to drive so well and how he had mastered the skills of divine chariot driving!

"Heheh, it's only to be understood and not explained!"

Xu Que smiled and then glanced at Qi Yun Fei and Gao Qiao Jie's divine chariots. "However, I just noticed something about both of your divine chariots!"

"What did you notice?" both Qi Yun Fei and Gao Qiao Jie replied in unison.

"Every time you maneuvered through the curves, it was very unnatural. Although both your divine chariots have high horse-power, the head of your chariot is too heavy. Mount Akina… bleh, wrong, the mountain of the Imperial Tombs has many curves so you need to push the head every time you try to maneuver through the curves. This was especially evident during the last five consecutive curves as both of you were unable to move along the best path. Unless you can overcome this, both of you will never be able to win against me!"

"Huh?"

Not only were Qi Yun Fei and Gao Qiao Jie confused, the crowd was also baffled by Xu Que's words!

What, 'the head of the chariot is too heavy'?

What, 'push the head every time when trying to maneuver through the curves'?

What do you mean?

"Your big brother is as steady as can be! Of course, for being able to win this race, firstly, I want to thank my Exploding Heavens Faction for producing this AE86. Oh, someone over there asked, what is the AE86? This question is very valid. AE86 is this divine chariot right beside me. Other than the AE86, we also produced the TAAK-001, PGD-820, MIGD-682… these were all made by our Teacher Hatano. Of course, there's also Teacher Aoi and Teacher Ohashi as well…"

Xu Que started to prattle!

Everyone was bewildered. They could not understand what he was saying.

As Xu Que continued to talk incessantly, one by one, all of the contestants finally arrived at the finishing line with their divine chariots!

By being champion of the race, Xu Que helped the Third Prince scored ten points, which took them far ahead of the rest of the contending princes.

"Young Hero Xu, we are sorry for just now, for underestimating your strength!"

"If we've offended you in anyway, please forgive us!"

"Young Hero Xu is so young and yet possesses such strength. You're the role model of our generation!"

"And, Young Hero Xu, since your Exploding Heavens Faction has so many products made by your teachers, if there's an opportunity in future; we must go and have a look…"

The Third Prince and the rest of the princes came over to Xu Que and talked with him enthusiastically.

The Seventh Princess revealed a smiling face behind her veil. She looked at Xu Que calmly and said gently, "Young Master Xu, thank you!"
