The Urban Dao Child.

Sitting in the studio office in front of the camera, Markus Hanabi, was like a missile aimed at the critiques. These people with nothing else to do in their lives had to just throw mud at the sky and now they were getting stained from their own mud. 

Markus Hanabi turned to look at the side screen where Yang Dao could be seen charging at the sprint checkpoint in the racing event. The man said, "You look at that boy and tell me, was \'silence\' restraining him or was it boosting him?"

The news presenter looked at the screen and said, "Yes, indeed, he has been sprinting like that for five kilometers now and the rest of the people have not been able to catch up to him." 

Markus Hanabi nodded and said, "An elite cyclist can produce about 5 watts (5W) of power for every kilogram of body weight for a 1-hour event. For example, a 70 kg cyclist who can maintain a power output of 350W for 1 hour would be considered to be in the elite category. However, if the person is riding on \'Silence\' then they need to double the output. 

That boy has been pushing himself twice as much on my bike, now that he has given it up, his output has doubled with only half the input. I hope through your channel that some of these wastrels learn how to not be nosy from now on. 

Also, those who supported the different teams from your cities, you have just made your favorites lose." 

He fell silent after that. The news presenter continued asking him about the various aspects of the bike and finally, she asked the man, "Mr. Markus, I would like to ask, why is such an elusive personality, like you, is here today. Is it really to speak up for Feng Yang Dao?"

Markus Hanabi smiled and said, "Every design I sold from my private collection is a documented purchase. One of the clauses of the contract is that I will help the client deal with some things. For example, the controversy like Feng Yang Dao getting boosted. It is actually simple customer care service. 

Usually, people treat my designs like some sort of a holy artifact and keep them enclosed inside glass cages. I designed them to be used, you know." he chuckled at the end. 

With that, the interview came to an end and the people in the country had fallen quiet after a session of face slapping. 

...

On the road, Yang Dao was unaware of all this. He had just crossed the sprint checkpoint and was riding toward the mountain checkpoint. His bike did not slow down at all until he started to climb the slope. The people were going crazy with the sheer display put up by the dao child. 

They had never imagined him to be so strong and to last this long. A few people thought that if Yang Dao continued to push himself like this then he will not be able to last longer in the event and might have to drop out. They were waiting for such a sight to take place and so that they could gloat on his misfortune and stuff. 

Yang Dao rode the bike with no care in his mind and after an hour of riding he had taken down both the sprint and the mountain checkpoints. He was riding at the average speed of thirty kilometers per hour. However, his figure had not shown any signs of fatigue and soreness. 

A couple of kilometers back, the three top teams were following. Icarus said, "Captain, I think we should have just sent him to participate alone here." 

The rest of his teammates sighed and Thomas said, "Don\'t worry, he is just angry. You know he does not take it so well when people look down on him. He will be fine tomorrow." 

The military college captain, Evans said, "I hardly doubt that. How much stamina will he be able to recover in one night? Also, will he not face the soreness tomorrow?"

Felix chuckled but did not reply. The rest of the national university team also had smiles on their faces. Looking at the confused Evans, Thomas said, "Do you think he did not train for this?" 

Evans almost lost balance of his bike when he heard this. He gulped and said, "What do you mean?"

Icarus said, "He used to cycle his other bike sixteen hours a day with eighty-five KG weight on his body, for two weeks. Don\'t underestimate his dedication and endurance. He is the youngest among us, but he is a demon."

His words made the people fall silent like they had forgotten to talk. This was the truth, Yang Dao kept himself two-kilometer ahead of the rest of the people when he came out of the city limits. Ayaka was almost unable to control herself from yelling at him when she saw this. 

Kaya asked, "Does he do it a lot?" her voice carried a hint of curiosity." 

Ayaka sighed and said, "This boy is a monster child. He can defeat them all on his own. Think how hard it is to handle him. Though he is good and has total knowledge of his body. I am still worried about him pushing himself too much."

Victor smiled, "He is fine, don\'t worry." 

Ayaka nodded solemnly. She suddenly picked up the megaphone and peeked her head outside the car window. She yelled, "Thomas, get your butts moving or you go hungry at night." her tone was as if a hungry demoness was out of hell and looking for food. 

Thomas and the rest of the teams heard this voice and started to speed up. They were now accelerating as a whole unit, and the speed was anything but slow. The other two teams were shocked. They did not expect the whole National University team to be full of monsters. When Yang Dao took the sprint checkpoint, Icarus was the second. 

Ray took the second in the mountain checkpoint. They have now discovered the true strength of these guys.
