"It's the [Ice Storm]!"

"The Ice Storm has caught up too!"

"In long-distance races, the advantages of [A-rank ship girls] are gradually becoming apparent!"

"Let's see how Yang Fan will overtake the [Devil's Ship]!"

"Puff puff puff~"

As Lin Yuanhao explained, not only did the [Ice Storm] begin to catch up, but the other seventeen [Ship Girls] also started to close the distance with the [Demon] as their speed increased.

Apart from Zhou Hang and Zheng Hao, whose ship girls were of slightly lower rank, the other contestants were mostly C-rank or B-rank ship girls.

In this long-distance race, their speed of 60 and 70 revolutions per minute was enough to quickly close the gap on the long track!

"Rat-a-tat-tat~"

Before me stretched a vast expanse of green sea.

In this sea area, green seaweed covers a large area of ​​the seawater.

In the central region of the seaweed, five clean, deep blue areas have been artificially cut out. These areas are curved and interconnected, forming a shape somewhat like two and a half "S" shapes!

This is a classic five-curve track, and an extremely narrow one at that, allowing only one [Boat Girl] to pass at a time.

If the speed is too high and the hull drifts out of the clean area and into the seaweed-covered area, even the most powerful propeller will likely get tangled in the seaweed and be unable to turn, thus failing to leave the seaweed-covered area.

That's a fair statement!

If you make even the slightest mistake on this bend, you'll be out of the race!

"Boom!"

but!

The number one ship, [Mirage], is utterly unreasonable. With a brutal [90 RPM] speed and [Etherealization] activated, it lurched and crashed its way out of the [Seaweed Zone]!

That's practically a bug!

In less than ten seconds, he completed the course of the first core area.

but...

Heaven is indeed fair.

After leaving the seaweed area, the Mirage's speed noticeably decreased. Judging by that, the repeated use of the Etherealize ability must have drained Yun Yang and the ship girl's energy!

"This guy..."

"Are these side effects of using cheat codes starting to appear?"

"Rat-a-tat-tat~"

Inside the [Devil's Ship], Zheng Hao kept his speed up and was about to approach the bend when he used his usual [Anchor Drift].

He was confident that he could maintain his second-place position in this extremely narrow five-corner loop without lowering his revs! As long as he could enter the "seaweed zone," he didn't believe anyone could catch him on the curves!

Even if they manage to catch up, the other side will be hesitant to overtake them due to the presence of [Seaweed].

in this way!

As long as Mo Yurou maintains her second-place position in the Five-Bend Zone, once she exits the Five-Bend Zone and activates the Dance of the Devil, she might be able to catch up with the Mirage.

Can...

That's what I was thinking!

A bright, sunny voice rang out: "Zheng Hao! I won't give you the chance to lead the way on the curves!"

"Click click click~"

"What?!"

Through Mo Yurou's visuals, one can see an ice ship filled with icy aura, relentlessly biting the tail of the [Demon Ship] and gradually approaching!

"Puff puff puff~"

The waves crashed open, and green duckweed floated faintly on the sea surface.

Those are loose pieces of seaweed in the [Seaweed Zone], about to enter the [Seaweed Zone]!

"As soon as you enter the bend..."

"I..."

"talent!"

"【Ice Crack】!!!"

"Click click click~"

Behind the Devil Ship, a patch of seawater froze instantly, and an ice wall rose in an arc, solidifying in the overflowing seawater, as if a ramp had been built behind the Devil Ship.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

The sea breeze blew, and the freezing air seeped straight into the Devil's Ship!

Zheng Hao's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but picture it: "Holy crap! He's going to..."

As the possibility of that scene was already in mind, the [A-rank ship girl - Ice Storm], at a full [80 revolutions], with a "boom", the bottom of the [Ice Storm] surfaced and suddenly rushed towards the frozen ramp wall!

"Hiss~"

Because the entire hull was made of ice, the bottom of the ship began to rub against the ice wall on the slope of the sea. Instead of slowing down, it accelerated and glided into the air!

"Hiss~"

Amidst a flurry of ice shards, the Ice Storm roared off the ramp, flying in a perfect parabola over the Devil!

"Boom!"

After it flew past the [Devil], it exploded in a spray at the entrance to the bend, and the [Icestorm]'s propellers spun rapidly, perfectly navigating the [Five-Bend Circuit], entering the [Seaweed Zone] before the [Devil] even did!

"Wow...d...fa?!?"

Zheng Hao was stunned.

Okay, okay!

You guys all play like this, right?

Sculpt ramp walls out of ice, then fly into the sky to overtake the ship?

Who taught you to sail like that?

It drove very well, don't drive it like that next time!

"......"

"......"

Footage from the front lines was transmitted back to the stands in real time via monitoring devices on buoys.

As the Ice Storm soared into the sky on the big screen, the scene was completely silent!

a long time...

Only then did someone exclaim in surprise!

"Mom! I saw the spaceship! Really!!!"

"Holy crap, Yang Fan's ship is flying in the sky?!"

"What the hell! You're creating a Lu Chao ship when there's no Lu Chao ship?"

"That overtaking maneuver was so cool! It beat mine!"

"......"

Screams, chatter, and cheers echoed throughout the venue!
