Almost at the same time.

Thirteen teams, thirteen treasure chariots, launched simultaneously, rushing forward.

“‘110K, t0k, t0R, t0R…”

The crisp sound of a wooden fish being hit rang out.

Three masters sat in a large wooden fish, each tapping a smaller wooden fish, controlling the speed of their vehicle through the rhythm of the wooden fish.

“Zing, zing, zing, zing…”

Beside them, in the dazzling, dynamic ox cart, the sound of a guqin resonated loudly.

The three Daoists, sensing hostility from the wooden fish, responded defiantly. The sound waves of the guqin spread, contending with the Buddhist cultivators.

However, leading the charge were Ao Sheng, Ao Yuan, Nalan Yu, and the vegetable clan driver in the radish cart.

“Ladies and gentlemen in the audience, as we can see, the competition has just begun, and it’s already intensely fierce,”

The male commentator spoke enthusiastically:

“Now, we have three contestants who have already approached the first obstacle of this competition!”

A hundred-meter-long section of the track was painted yellow, and on this section, more than ten circular light spots appeared.

These light spots were bright yellow, close in color to the track, each about ten feet in diameter, moving in fast, irregular patterns.

“In previous years, our first obstacle was a launching array. If a contestant’s boat was hit, they had to be suspended in the air for at least three seconds,”

The female commentator said with a smile:

“However, I heard that this year, the organizing committee adjusted the flying boat course. Let’s see what kind of surprise the designers have prepared for us.” As they spoke, the contestants were approaching the first obstacle.

The Ao siblings’ dragon-shaped chariot was the first to enter the yellow track.

Almost without warning, a light spot abruptly moved under the ice dragon chariot.

Inside the chariot, Ao Sheng, sitting in the co-pilot seat, changed his expression.

Without any hesitation, he pressed a button on the control panel in front of him.

“Hiss—”

The bottom of the ice dragon chariot suddenly emitted a jet of air, propelling the entire chariot upwards.

The area had a no-fly array, limiting chariots to half a second of suspension in the air. It was this brief time that allowed the Ao siblings to evade the sneak attack of the light spot.

“Truly deserving candidates who have fought their way up from the preliminaries to the finals!”

The male commentator praised, “Our two contestants reacted very quickly. It seems that the committee’s design poses no threat to them at all!”

However, to everyone’s surprise, almost at the moment the Ao siblings avoided the light spot, two more light spots appeared under the vehicles of Nalan Yu and the vegetable clan contestant!

“Buzz…”

The radish chariot was unfortunately hit, enveloped by a light orb.

This team was particularly unlucky.

They had just used an ejector to dodge one light spot attack, and the moment they landed from the air, they were hit by another light spot.

The male commentator focused on the development, “Nalan Yu, relying on her reaction and experience, avoided this accident. However, our vegetable team was less fortunate… They have been teleported back to the starting point!”

“The light spots in the first obstacle are actually disguised teleportation arrays!”

The female commentator’s eyes brightened as she exclaimed, “However, from the performance of these three teams, we’ve discerned a hidden rule of this obstacle!”

“That is, once a contestant dodges an attack from a light spot, there’s a chance that light spots will appear under other contestants’ chariots!”

“The vegetable team has restarted. Their flying boat is fast and stable; it seems they aren’t disheartened by this small setback!”

The male commentator’s voice spread through a sound transmission artifact, “If I remember correctly, the pilot of this flying boat is Luo Lan from the vegetable clan, his fifth time in the finals of the Flying Boat Race. He’s experienced and unflustered.”

“Indeed, although Luo Lan is young, he’s a veteran contestant. His best result in past competitions was runner-up in the Flying Boat Race. I wonder if he can overcome strong opponents this time and successfully defend his title?” The female commentator also encouraged the vegetable team:

“This first obstacle of the race is close to the starting point. Moreover, due to the light spots, other contestants have also slowed down, so Luo Lan has a good chance of catching up.”

“I remember Luo Lan’s first final was also our first year commentating the Flying Boat Race,” The male commentator suddenly spoke.

“That’s right,” The female commentator smiled and added, “Back then, we were both newcomers in the industry, preparing for the Flying Boat Race every day, practicing our commentary long into the night.”

“A few days before the race, we walked home late one night. You said you were tired and asked me to carry you.”

The male commentator smiled slightly, “That night, there were few clouds, the moon was beautiful, and the wind was gentle.”

Hearing this, the female commentator’s cheeks reddened and she gently stepped on his foot under the table.

Old couples, still acting like this.

The audience on-site and watching the broadcast all had a knowing smile. Every final of the Flying Boat Race had these two commentators spreading their ‘dog food’, and the audience loved this segment.

Due to the precedent set by the vegetable team, the remaining contestants became cautious when passing the teleportation array obstacle.

Given the “co-contestant” incident, the most reliable way to deal with the light spots was to keep jumping forward..
