The people spent the night at the foot of the huge mountain range. Yang Dao sat in meditation the whole night. He only woke up when Ayaka approached him.

The boy looked at the girl in front of him, bathed in the bright sunlight. His heart was calm and stable like the boulder he sat upon. He asked, "What is it, Coach?"

Ayaka said, "It is time to go. Get ready, we leave in half an hour." her voice was also calm, or at least on the surface. The boy in front of her had surprised her a lot the moment she approached him, she thought that the boy had a halo behind his head. To her, at the moment, Yang Dao looked like a saintly being, who must not be stained by her approach or contact.

The boy was unaware of all this and he stood up from the boulder. His bones made a slight clicking sound as he stretched to loosen up. He took a water bottle from Ayaka and washed his face. The two people came back to the campsite. Yang Dao ate some casual packed ration, that he did not like.

The boy removed his lower behind the boulder and packed the thing back in his bag. Then he geared up and after a slight warm-up, he rode his bike and came to the dirt track. Sasha said, "Dao, we will ride in cars. Why not join?"

Yang Dao asked, "Really? I thought we were riding. What happened?"

Sasha said chuckled, "Senior Ray cooked the food last night, they all puked. So their bodies are not well for the day."

Yang Dao nodded then he asked, "There is a proper road on the mountains right? Also, what is the speed limit?"

Sasha turned to face the guard named Eric. She asked, "Eric, Tell him the conditions."

Eric nodded and with a respectful tone, he said, "Young Master, there is a road on the mountain but it is very curvy. The speed limit for motor vehicles is 30 but your bike can go up to 45 kph. I strongly advise you to ride with us."

Yang Dao thought for a bit and said, "I cannot drive faster than the limit in the mountains, so, I will ride my bike. Where are we going through?"

Sasha was prepared for this so she had already prepared a map for him. The boy had bought a thigh strap to keep his phone on his body while riding. So after Sasha marked the location on his map, he pedaled.

Since it was just the beginning, the boy had decided to take it easy, so that he can get used to the curves of the road. He also wanted to take into account that the oxygen is thin but since he was the Dao Child, a constant breeze was feeding him fresh cold air.

The convoy of cars rode past him in a blink. Leaving a dust cloud in their wake. Yang Dao did not mind and with a casual wave of his hand, the dust cleared, yeah he just waved it away.

...

Ten minutes had past and Eric asked Sasha who sat in the back seat, "Young Miss, would young Master Dao be fine?"

Sasha sighed and said, "You should worry about yourself."

Eric made a question, "huh?"

Kiya said, "Yang Dao did not ride with us, because he doesn't ride cars until he is behind the steering wheel. Also, he can compete with professional race car drivers so you can imagine his control." she had a prideful tone.

Eric thought the girl was joking with him when suddenly he saw a boy on a black bike, passing by his side and taking the lead constantly. On the curvy roads, the boy was riding as if it was a straight track.

The driver almost lost control. Ayaka said, "This brat is shaming all of the cyclists in the world." Sasha turned to her side to look at the coach and found the latter had the corner of her mouth twitching.

Kiya asked, "Coach, why do you say so?" she was curious to know.

Ayaka sighed as she replied, "His bike is following a line, the shortest route tactic. This way he reduced his steering time and can pedal faster. I am telling you that if the rest were even half as capable as this boy, they would have been the top stars already."

Eric had still not come out of his shock when the boy in front of him leaned to his right while pedaling. The bike turned into a graceful arc and covered the long bending turn. He was enchanted by the figure of the boy riding so beautifully.

You must know that on the ride-hand side of the road there was nothing, it was a cliff end. A lot of people would drive closer to the mountain by instinct but this guy was so daring that he made such a stunt close to the edge.

Kiya held on to Sasha's wrist tightly whenever Yang Dao made a turn. Suddenly the boy stopped pedaling and looked to the side, in the valley a river ran. The others also followed his gaze. As they climbed down the mountain a little to reach the road connecting to another mountain, the road got closer to the river.

No one expected the boy to slowly go close to the river, stopping and then he leaned his bike to a big pile of boulders. He took off his helmet, his bag, his jersey, his shoes, and socks. The cars all stopped at the side of the road.

The boy was so handsome that all three girls were blushing at the glance of his body. Lean yet filled with sculpted muscles.

Icarus saw this and hung his head out of the window and asked, "Dao, do you know how cold that water is?"

Yang Dao turned back with a smile and he stepped inside the water. The river was not flowing fast but the chill it carried was a murderous weapon. He stood in knee-deep water but still moved forward. Soon, after a couple of steps, the boy dipped in the water a couple of times and came out with a satisfied smile.

He was about to say something when he heard a loud buzz coming from the sides.
