Chapter 3068: Transcending Oneself, the Dragon Scale Medal

————Still about forty minutes left~~

————

When it comes to flight posture adjustment techniques, Xia Duo is not considered excellent; after all, he is actually controlling a golden dragon body he is not familiar with. But when it comes to airflow control ability, he can confidently say that he is not inferior to a golden dragon!

Among the bloodline abilities he awakened is Wind Element Control, which happens to cover airflow control, and even goes deeper.

Just now at the starting point, Xia Duo saw other golden dragons using Dragon Wing Armament to assist in breaking the wind, which is indeed more effortless than doing it himself, but the main reason is still that golden dragons have an upper limit on airflow control.

They are different from Xia Duo; they do not possess bloodline abilities related to the wind element and can only use Magic or equipment to assist, but they can only slightly optimize the flight environment.

Yet Xia Duo can reach the point of reconstructing the nearby wind field; even while flying at high speed, he can try his best to create a more suitable environment for himself.

When Xia Duo arrived before the Irregular Wind Field, Xintuosi was already reminding him to decelerate, but he did not slow down in the slightest; instead, he gave the other party a confident look and then charged straight into the wind field range.

The next moment, Xia Duo actually had a feeling of sudden stalling; the strangely changing airflow shattered the Wind Element Domain he had maintained from the starting point until now.

The surrounding airflow seemed to be under the control of someone else, becoming uncontrollable.

"He is a full lap behind Weila; if he doesn't catch up, he might really not be able to catch up."

And now, Xia Duo is still following behind Xintuosi, learning how to perform a Wind Accumulation Sprint.

Weila is actually quite fast; at least ten golden dragons have already lapped us.

After saying this, Xintuosi flapped his wings, and his speed increased visibly to the naked eye.

"Xia Duo, I will open up a wind path in front; you follow behind and pay attention to observing my movements. I will gradually increase the difficulty; tell me in time when you reach your limit."

Doing this will lose a certain amount of speed, but compared to not using a Wind Accumulation Sprint, it is still much faster.

To turn around at the fastest speed, one must first decelerate, but they actually accumulate wind power while decelerating, and then use this temporarily accumulated wind power to perform a short burst of acceleration when turning around.

Originally, performing a 180-degree return during high-speed flight would cause a huge change in speed; usually, one needs to decelerate first and then accelerate. If one does not decelerate, the turning trajectory radius might be ridiculously large.

The Irregular Wind Field in the competition ended very quickly, and they arrived at the Large-angle Return stage.

Although he has only been exposed to this sport for a very short time, Xia Duo has already fallen deeply in love with it; chasing the wind is truly comfortable!

This was probably the only highlight moment for Xia Duo in this competition.

At the beginning, the wind path constructed by Xintuosi was still calm, but after noticing that Xia Duo was under no pressure at all, it soon began to become "leaky."

However, just finishing the whole course is not his goal; he also wants to fly as fast and as steadily as possible.

At the same time, he also used the Wind Element Domain to conduct more meticulous observation.

Because both sides are flying at high speed, looking at it as a whole, it is like a tunnel.

Very soon, Xia Duo completed all the fixed wind field training, but that was just a beginning; the real Irregular Wind Field is even more complex, and there is not much time left to train now.

Fortunately, golden dragon flight does not rely solely on airflow; even in a vacuum, golden dragons can fly. It is precisely thanks to this bit of power that Xia Duo barely stabilized his Wind Element Domain, only his speed inevitably dropped.

In the wind path, there were headwinds, side-slanting winds, and other fixed-direction airflows appearing from time to time; sometimes they only lasted for an instant, and sometimes they could last for several seconds. Xintuosi did not remind him, continuously increasing the teaching intensity.

The reason is simple: he made full use of the Ground Effect Flight Principles, greatly increasing his flight speed, and because he flew lower, he attracted the unanimous cheers of the golden dragons watching from high altitude.

A full lap behind!

It is a competition of whose trajectory is shorter when turning around.

Xintuosi was so confident in Xia Duo participating in the Headwind Racing to a large extent because Xia Duo had a fairly good grasp of the Wind Accumulation Sprint technique.

Although the City-wide Grand Slam in the Golden Dragon City District regularly designs different competitions, the design ideas are indeed roughly fixed. The beginning will go through all the individual events once, which is also to liven up the atmosphere for the participants.

Under these circumstances, Xia Duo could not help but feel a little worried. Fortunately, the first lap was nearing completion, so he hurriedly urged Xintuosi to hurry up and catch up, and not to worry about him anymore.

"Hmm, then I'll go first. This is your first time participating in the City-wide Grand Slam, so don't think about any rankings. Being able to finish the whole course is enough to win the respect of all opponents."

……

Xintuosi had already started moving, and Xia Duo could not drag his feet too much. He hurriedly adjusted his posture to follow Xintuosi, while also constantly observing the other party's various responses to irregular airflow.

After that is the Composite Event.

As he spoke, Xintuosi also suddenly charged, flew in front of Xia Duo, and started to open up a wind path; in fact, it was building a relatively stable wind field behind him.

Fortunately, Xia Duo had already come into contact with the Wind Accumulation Sprint when he was learning to transform into a dragon. Besides being used for Large-angle Return, it can also be used during the process of flying against the wind.

Among those individual events, what Xia Duo is best at is not Large-angle Return, but rather Ultra-low Altitude Flight; this event is also the only one where he can not drag Xintuosi down.

This is actually a bit similar to sailing against the wind.

Although golden dragons have not learned the Knowledge of inertia, they have also groped out similar laws.

And at this time, Weila, who entered the Irregular Wind Field behind him, had already caught up. The domain he maintained was not stronger than Xia Duo's, but he relied on his own superb flight posture adjustment techniques to make up for the places where the element domain could not reach.

If the competition did not limit Magic, then this hurdle should be the simplest for Xia Duo. As long as he uses a levitation Spell to reconstruct his own gravity and inertia, even a straight 180-degree turn is not impossible.

Large-angle Return is actually turning; it is similar to a shuttle run on the ground, but because it is a flight competition, it is impossible to achieve a 180-degree turn like a tight "U" shape; instead, it needs to trace a larger semicircular trajectory.

After the Composite Event, Xintuosi still took him to fly together while teaching relevant techniques, but because he dragged his feet too much, he and Xintuosi encountered Weila, who was catching up from behind, before they finished the first lap.

Later, under the leadership of Xintuosi, Xia Duo experienced Ultra-low Altitude Flight, obstacle avoidance, and acceleration rings, while also conducting a temporary assault to learn the response techniques for these events.

Watching the figure of Xintuosi quickly go away in front and then become smaller bit by bit, Xia Duo helplessly sighed in his heart; the gap is really too big.

On the golden dragon side, the Wind Accumulation Sprint has elements of Magic and elements of technique, but it leans more towards technique.

He even used the wind field in reverse to accelerate; this scene made Xia Duo extremely admire him.
