Chapter 87
On the track, there are only 100 meters left to the second runner.
The electric dragon Misty has been in the lead the whole time, and at this rate, her family should have no problem winning the relay race.
However--
Before she could even feel smug, she caught a glimpse of a silver figure beside her out of the corner of her eye.
The silver dragon behind her actually caught up with her again!
Losweiser's lips curled up slightly. "Running in first place, the wind resistance must be quite high, right?"
"W-what..."
So the reason the silver dragon kept running behind him was that it was using its body to reduce wind resistance.
Short-distance sprints are the strength of both the Silver Dragon and the Electric Dragon, so who is faster will depend on their final burst of speed.
But Misty had been shielding Losweiser from the wind the whole time, and her stamina was clearly not as good as her opponent's at this point.
Losweiser accelerated explosively once again, rushing towards Noa's position to Misty's astonishment.
Passing the baton!
Noa was the second runner and started first, with the little electric dragon following closely behind her.
After handing over the baton, Misty rested his hands on his knees, panting heavily.
Losweiser, on the other hand, remained completely calm and composed, without blushing or skipping a beat.
That's it? I haven't even broken a sweat yet.
She turned to look at Leon's third batter.
From a distance, the guy raised his arm and gave her a thumbs-up.
Losweiser chuckled and waved in response.
Then, she turned her gaze to her daughter.
Noa was not at a disadvantage in terms of age and height, so she was quickly caught up by Misty's son.
But catching up is one thing, but surpassing Noa is not so easy.
The two young dragons raced side by side on the track, neither giving way to the other.
Judging from this momentum, it seems like they'll all be reaching the third batter at the same time.
However... Noa ultimately lost out due to her size; she was simply too young.
Thanks to its age and long legs, the little electric dragon gradually surpassed Noa.
Finally, Noa was the second to arrive at the handover point.
Chat room 2.9 years old wu 3 8 (7) 1 (3) "I'm sorry, I—"
"It depends on Daddy."
Leon wouldn't let his good daughter feel guilty, so he took the baton and chased after the greyhound.
Noa gripped her sleeve, biting her lower lip. Leon's image was reflected in her pupils, and she murmured softly.
"Go for it, Daddy...!"
The staff led Noa through the fast track to the finish line.
Losweiser was already waiting there.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I wasted the advantage you created."
Losweiser patted Noa's head. "Noa, you've done a great job. All your opponents are older than you. Let's cheer for Daddy together now."
"Okay." Noa nodded obediently.
"Go Daddy! Daddy's the best!" Mu En cheered from the stands.
Dragon girl definitely has the potential to be a cheerleader.
On the track at that moment, Leon was right behind the Thunder Dragon.
"Hmph, what are you still struggling for? I'm already so far ahead of you without even putting in any effort, but you look like you've already used all your strength?" A mocking voice came from ahead.
Leon ignored him, silently adjusting his pace and breathing rhythm.
"Five seconds. I'll be a full five seconds ahead of you. Remember that."
After saying that, the greyhound electric dragon accelerated again, leaving Leon three body lengths behind.
Leon gritted his teeth, relentlessly drawing upon his body's strength.
To win first place in the overall standings of the sports meet, you must do your best in every event; that's the safest approach.
And don't underestimate my obsession with holidays, you bastard!
That's a full seven days!
Leon suddenly accelerated and actually caught up with the greyhound little by little.
The two raced side by side, sprinting towards the finish line together.
"Tch, you actually caught up. Now I'm going to speed up again, can you keep up with me?"
The two, one human and one dragon, chased each other relentlessly, neither willing to give way.
The audience was also ignited by this intense chase.
The sports meet started off so excitingly; this match has already captured the attention of everyone present.
The most astonishing thing was that none of the dragons present could have imagined that the one who was on par with the Dragon Race, who were famous for their speed, was actually a... human!
However, Leon's speed is already at its limit, and if the opponent continues to exert force, it will indeed be a bit...
"Go for it, Daddy!..."
Leon's keen ears detected that the voice was not Mu En's!
He looked up at the main point; Noa was jumping, waving at him, and shouting.
"Daddy! Keep it up!"
She called me Daddy.
She called me Daddy!
I've longed to hear that word "Daddy" for so, so long...
At that moment, the electric dragon with maxed-out speed talent and the insurmountable physical limits were all shattered by Noa's small figure in Leon's eyes.
He cannot lose.
We absolutely cannot lose.
Leon roared, as if he had returned to the battlefield a few years ago. What sustained him as he crawled out of the corpses time and time again was the belief in going home.
Now, this belief comes from his daughter.
He outpaced the electric dragon beside him with miraculous speed.
Upon seeing this, the electric dragon immediately sensed something was wrong.
He then hatched a wicked plan and moved closer to Leon's side.
Hiss—
A faint crackle of electricity flickered on the electric dragon's shoulder, slowly approaching Leon.
Leon has a very keen sense for Lightning magic or electric magic because he himself was trained in Lightning magic.
Moreover, Leon could roughly guess what the greyhound was planning to do.
At this moment, Losweiser, who was standing at the finish line, seemed to also sense something was amiss.
That greyhound electric dragon started approaching Leon for no apparent reason; it must be planning something.
Losweiser frowned slightly, her whole body tensing up.
Leon glanced disdainfully at the electric dragon beside him and snorted coldly.
"This time, we'll settle all our old and new scores together."
Old grudges: Back then, your Electric Dragon race Clan relentlessly harassed my army without ever engaging in direct combat, it was incredibly annoying.
New Enmity: Now you're trying to ambush me again, how can I let such a good opportunity slip by? Part Two
This time, you can't escape!
Seeing that Leon neither dodged nor avoided the attack and seemed unaware, the electric dragon emboldened and continued to approach.
But to everyone's surprise, Leon seized the moment he slowed down as he leaned in, took a large stride, and completely overtook him. Wu
The electric dragon's ambush missed, and it slightly lost its balance.
But that's not all. (Long)
Leon ran ahead of him, vigorously shaking the dust off his shoes. (Umbrella)
Because the electric dragon had gotten too close in its attempt to ambush Leon, he ended up eating a face full of dust kicked up by Leon.
Some dust particles got into his eyes, and for a moment, everything went black. He lost his balance and fell forward, landing face-first in the dirt.
"Oh dear, what a pity! The Electric Dragon race player, who had a chance to compete for first place, made a mistake and fell! So the match should be a foregone conclusion, with the player who refused to show his tail taking the win!" The commentator remained enthusiastic.
Amid cheers from his daughters, Leon crossed the finish line first.
Noa jogged up to Leon, wanting to give him a high five in celebration.
To everyone's surprise, Leon simply bent down and picked her up.
Noa was startled, but she didn't struggle.
"What did you just shout? Hmm?" Leon asked with a smile.
Noa blushed and looked away, "Daddy..."
"Ah~ That feels so good~ Is there any more? Is there any more?"
"Hmph, let's talk about that after we win first place at the sports meet." Noa turned her head away completely.
Leon affectionately nuzzled Noa's cheek, "You have the same spirit as your mother."
Losweiser also came over and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
Leon raised an eyebrow. "You saw it?"
"Yes, but because of the angle, the referee on the sidelines doesn't seem to have seen it. We should report them directly; we can't let them get away with this."
Losweiser's expression was stern; she seemed genuinely angry.
But then, the thief cried "Stop thief!"
"I'm reporting him! I'm reporting him! He's fouled! He's seriously fouled!"
The voice came from the Misty family, the electric dragon family that had just tried to ambush Leon but was outmaneuvered by Leon.
Upon hearing this, the referee team also came over to listen to the electric dragon describe what had happened.
However, after more than ten minutes of discussion, the judges unanimously agreed that—
Leon did not commit a foul.
"Why?! He even made my husband fall and get injured, why isn't it considered a foul?!"
"Please calm down, madam. Leon's actions do not constitute a foul. On the contrary, it is your husband who got too close during the race, which is not in accordance with safety regulations," the referee said.
"Hey you guys!..."
"Thank you for your hard work, referees. Since you're already here, why don't you take another look at that electric dragon's shoulder and see if his clothes there are burned by the electricity?" Leon walked over carrying Noa.
Losweiser followed behind them.
"Burnt? Mr. Leon, you mean?"
"This guy tried to ambush me with electricity while he was sprinting. When I saw that, I got scared and ran as fast as I could, maybe kicking up some dust. But you guys said it wasn't my fault, right?" Leon said it with great conviction, while Losweiser covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.
The referee nodded. "Okay, go check that person's shoulder."
Two referees stepped forward and inspected the area.
Indeed, there were burnt marks on the electric dragon's clothes.
