"Is the race over?"

As Situ Yang asked this upon waking up, those who were mocking Ye Qiu were stunned.

The person who bet with Ye Xuan also twitched his eyelids, sensing something was amiss. He turned around trying to sneak away, but Ye Xuan's sharp eyes caught him, and she shouted, "Where are you going?"

The person stopped in his tracks, showing an awkward expression.

Situ Yang scanned the surroundings and upon spotting Ye Qiu, excitedly rushed over and asked, "Ye Qiu, how did the race go, did you win?"

"Did you win?"

As Situ Yang asked this, those who were previously mocking Ye Qiu and doubting his victory were suddenly left with complex expressions.

Just as Ye Qiu was about to answer Situ Yang's question, a sudden screech of brakes was heard, and then Kojiken got out of the car.

As soon as he got out, he saw Ye Qiu, frowned slightly, and then walked towards him.

Ye Xuan frowned and said, "What do you want to do? Are you planning to cause trouble after losing?"

The bystanders who were in a daze suddenly snapped out of it and angrily blocked Kojiken in front of Ye Qiu.

What a joke, Ye Qiu is now their hero; how could they allow Kojiken to hurt him?

Kojiken smiled lightly and said, "You misunderstand."

He then looked at Ye Qiu and said, "You are really amazing, and I admire you, but I want to correct one thing."

"Oh, what's that?" Ye Qiu asked.

Kojiken scanned everyone and then swept his gaze over Bai Lingfeng's face before smiling and saying, "I want to say that you are the number one racer of Huaxia!"

Wow!

As Kojiken's words echoed, everyone started buzzing.

All eyes were then on Bai Lingfeng, who simply smiled and looked at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu frowned, looking at Kojiken, and sneered, "You're really insidious, trying to sow discord between us, huh?"

The crowd, upon hearing Ye Qiu's words, suddenly realized, and they angrily glared at Kojiken.

Although Ye Qiu unexpectedly defeated Kojiken, claiming him to be Huaxia's number one racer, surpassing even Bai Lingfeng, was a bit of a stretch.

They believed Kojiken was trying to cause division.

Even when scolded, Kojiken merely smiled faintly and said calmly, "In your heart, you know the truth, and so do I."

He then looked at Bai Lingfeng, smiled, and said, "I believe Bai Lingfeng knows too."

Saying this, Kojiken turned and started to leave, leaving behind one final remark, "Today's race was no disgrace losing, especially to Huaxia's true number one."

People glared at the departing Kojiken, who still tried to provoke on his way out, and some even wanted to take action.

But it was then that Bai Lingfeng spoke up, "Kojiken is right, Ye Qiu is indeed Huaxia's true number one racer!"

Ye Qiu was stunned, and everyone looked at Bai Lingfeng in confusion.

Even Kojiken, who had reached the car, was surprised, looking towards Bai Lingfeng.

Though Kojiken believed Ye Qiu to be the number one after witnessing his skill, his remarks to Bai Lingfeng were intended to stir trouble, but he hadn't expected Bai Lingfeng to admit it.

Bai Lingfeng looked at the bewildered faces around him, then focused his gaze on Ye Qiu, who was watching him, and smiled slightly, "You are the number one, I won't dispute it, after all, you deserve the title!"

"Why?" Ye Qiu asked.

Bai Lingfeng smiled gently and then spoke words that left everyone stunned, "Because you are Ye Qiu, the once genius Ye Qiu!"

Wow.

The crowd was shocked, then turned their intense gazes towards Ye Qiu.

The name of the once genius Ye Qiu was well-known to them, and many idolized him.

If this Ye Qiu before them were indeed their idol, then defeating Kojiken wouldn't be surprising, and calling him the number one would be justified.

Even Kojiken was heavily shocked by Bai Lingfeng's words, dumbfounded as he looked at Ye Qiu, thinking, "So he is the Ye Qiu that Master often mentioned, the one who gave him pressure!"

Knowing that even his master, Fujiwara Takumi, felt pressured and considered Ye Qiu his top rival, Kojiken felt today's loss wasn't shameful at all.

Ye Qiu frowned deeply, looking at Bai Lingfeng, who exposed his identity, and said coldly, "I don't know what past genius you're talking about, nor any past Ye Qiu."

He paused, then added, "I am indeed a genius, and I am the present Ye Qiu, ha!"

"As long as you are Ye Qiu, that's all that matters."

Bai Lingfeng smiled slightly, then stepped forward two steps, extended his hand, and said, "Welcome back, and thank you for maintaining the honor and face of Huaxia. Also, I have a request, may I?"

"Feel free to ask," Ye Qiu replied.

Bai Lingfeng said, "I want to invite you to join the Celestial Dragon Racing Team. If you join, I can give up my captain's position for you!"

Upon hearing Bai Lingfeng's words, everyone around was shocked.

But Ye Qiu simply shook his head, leaving them even more astonished.

Ye Qiu said, "No, I've already chosen a team."

"Oh? Can you tell me which team has such an honor?"

Ye Qiu thought for a moment, seeing no harm in telling as it would be known eventually, and said, "Tibetan Region, Eagle Team."

Everyone was surprised upon hearing this and wondered if Ye Qiu was crazy, passing up the captain position in the Celestial Dragon Racing Team to join the bottom-ranked Tibetan Eagle Team?

Bai Lingfeng frowned, mumbled something, and then said, "It seems you've made up your mind. Then I wish you greater progress with the Eagle Team."

"Thank you!" Ye Qiu nodded.

It was then that Ye Qiu suddenly heard continuous system prompts in his mind.

"Ding, gained 50,000 Experience Points!"

"Ding, gained 10,000 Popularity Points!"

"Ding, gained 30,000 Popularity Points!"

"Ding, gained 50,000 Popularity Points!"

"Ding..."

The thousands of Popularity Points left Ye Qiu numbed, but he was more delighted about gaining 50,000 Experience Points again.

"Now I already have 100,000 Experience Points, enough to unlock Level 6 Intelligence Attribute."

Thinking about soon being able to upgrade his Intelligence Attribute Level 6 and seeing the unknown planet's display, Ye Qiu was impatient to leave and upgrade his Intelligence Attribute.

But seeing the eager eyes around him, he shook his head helplessly, knowing it would be hard to leave now!

It was then that the person who had previously bet with Ye Xuan came forward under Ye Xuan's angry glare, knelt in front of Ye Qiu with a thud.

He then slammed his head to the ground heavily, "I was wrong, Brother Qiu, I looked down on you. I was wrong..."
