Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Drifting God Technique: Undead Rotation
"Ye Fan is in danger!"
At this moment, Xu Ruoxuan was staring ahead with furrowed brows.
As one of the world's most intelligent women, how could Xu Ruoxuan fail to see that Ye Fan was truly about to face a life-and-death crisis?
Now, facing Ye Fan were only two paths, either his car would be destroyed and he would perish, or he would drive straight through.
The distance to the first corner at the foot of the mountain was too close now; even slamming on the brakes at this moment would be too late, and doing so would certainly risk flipping the car.
Whoosh—
Just when everyone thought Ye Fan was in peril, the AE86 charged toward the first bend like lightning.
"It's over! This kid is done for!"
Several professional racers couldn't bear to watch, turning their heads away, not wanting to see the scene of Ye Fan's car being destroyed and him perishing.
Crackling!
However, just as the AE86 dashed into the bend, Ye Fan at the driver's seat viciously turned the steering wheel. Under his control, the AE86 incredibly pulled off a 360-degree big spin, its tires gripping the ground tightly.
Drifting, tail swinging, sprinting!
All actions were executed in one go!
Boom!!!
At the moment the drift was completed, the AE86, like a crazed bull, dashed toward the second bend with renewed ferocity.
Screech!
The group of professional racers waiting to see Ye Fan's car destroyed and him dead saw Ye Fan speed through at an ultra-high speed of 260 km/h, and they quivered as though electrocuted, countless pairs of eyes going slack with astonishment.
"He made it... He actually made it through without a scratch!"
"What? He made it through?"
Upon hearing this, the racers who couldn't bear to watch all turned their heads back and, to their amazement, saw the AE86 not only successfully navigate the first bend but also continuously accelerating towards the second bend.
Seeing Ye Fan surging past the first bend, one of the racers exclaimed in disbelief, "He really made it through? How did he do that?"
"It seems like the car did a 360-degree spin on the ground, and then he just went straight through!" another one responded.
"A 360-degree spin through? Are you kidding me?"
Hearing this response, many of them were shocked, as such drifting technique was unheard of to them.
Another echoed, "That's right, the AE86 did indeed pull off a 360-degree big spin before rushing through, and it was much faster than the usual drift!"
"That's right!" Following that, the racers who had come to their senses all nodded in agreement.
Just now, they witnessed with their own eyes how the AE86 dashed into the bend and miraculously performed a 360-degree big spin before the car rushed ahead, its speed far surpassing that of a usual drift and leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"What kind of drifting technique is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
A tumult of shock and awe stirred inside all the professional racers, as Ye Fan's maneuvers had overturned their understanding.
Zhuang Jingwen incredulously covered her sexy red lips, even she hadn't expected Ye Fan to cross the first bend of Zifeng Mountain with such flair.
While everyone was still in shock, Xu Ruoxuan, with a solemn expression, slowly spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, the technique Ye Fan just used is the long-lost Drifting God Technique, the Undead Rotation!"
"What? The Undead Rotation?"
Upon this pronouncement, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck, and all the racers on the scene were dumbstruck.
"Undead Rotation?" Zhuang Jingwen's delicate body trembled as if she had thought of something.
Xu Ruoxuan nodded gravely and said, "That's right, it's the Drifting God Technique, the Undead Rotation!"
"My God! The Undead Rotation? Isn't that a mistake? This kid actually knows how to perform the Undead Rotation?"
At this moment, who knows how many professional racecar drivers were shocked, their mouths agape in 'o' shapes, almost large enough to fit several eggs.
As professional drivers, they all knew very well what those four words, 'Undead Rotation', meant.
According to historical records, the Undead Rotation first appeared at the beginning of the nineteenth century when the then world's number one Racing God created the astonishing move.
Called the Drifting God Technique, the Undead Rotation is much more nimble and swift than ordinary drifting, often winning over opponents by surprise.
The only drawback is the enormous difficulty of executing the Undead Rotation. It requires the car to perform a 360-degree spin in the middle of a turn, and if the driver slightly mismanages the control, it can result in a fatal crash.
In recent years, with racing becoming increasingly popular internationally, more and more people have practiced the Undead Rotation. Many of them have succeeded, but to their shock, they found that they could only perform it at low speeds.
Once at high speed, it becomes unmanageable, and many have paid with their lives as a consequence.
For an ordinary racer, being able to successfully execute the Undead Rotation at speeds over a hundred is already quite remarkable, let alone at speeds over two hundred.
The former world number one Racing God attempted to break the two hundred speed barrier while practicing the Undead Rotation; unfortunately, he lost control of the car on a turn, and his life came to an end.
Thereafter, almost no one practiced the Undead Rotation.
After all, for ordinary racers, even if they managed to learn it, they couldn't use it at extremely high speeds. Except for showing off in a race, it was inferior to regular drifting.
Gradually, the Undead Rotation became a lost art.
Completely unexpectedly, Ye Fan miraculously executed the Drifting God Technique, the Undead Rotation.
"It must be luck, definitely luck! The former international number one Racing God had an accident and died trying to use the Undead Rotation at two hundred kilometers per hour, I refuse to believe this kid is better than him!"
"Right, this kid's use of the Undead Rotation could very well be due to luck! Keep in mind, the moment he pulled off the Undead Rotation just now, his speed had already reached 260 km/h. Let's not even talk about the Undead Rotation; just the speed alone is overwhelming Brother Bin!"
"Brother Bin is exceptionally skilled, I can't believe this kid has already reached the level of world's top masters!"
For a time, many racers were discussing fervently, none of them daring to believe that Ye Fan could perform the Undead Rotation at such high speeds.
This was the Drifting God Technique, after all; no one in the world could complete it at such high speeds, so naturally, they also didn't believe Ye Fan could do it with such ease.
Watching the AE86's silhouette, Xu Ruoxuan's inner shock took a long time to subside.
She was accustomed to racing all year round and was deeply aware of the true value of the four words 'Undead Rotation'.
Soon after, Xu Ruoxuan spoke up, "Ye Fan is about to enter the second turn; whether he really can perform the Undead Rotation, we'll soon see!"
"Big sister is right!" Many nodded in agreement.
In a flash, everyone's eyes were glued to the big screen, not wanting to miss any detail.
270 km/h! 280 km/h!
290 km/h!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the AE86 reached an astonishing speed of 290 km/h. Seeing Ye Fan's super speed, everyone was left dumbstruck once again.
"Good heavens! Just what is this kid trying to do? Daring to accelerate even more, has he gone mad?"
"The world record for drifting is 304.96 km/h, a record that has stood for many years, untouched by anyone. Ordinary racers who can reach speeds of 280 km/h are already considered top-notch, could it be that this kid is even more formidable?"
"Hmph! I don't believe he's a top-notch racer. He managed to pull off the Undead Rotation by fluke and now he even dares to speed up more. In my opinion, he's courting his own demise. Just watch, he won't be lucky again... he's doomed!"
