“Is this reasonable? No, it’s not!”
Zhao Chen stomped, his face full of disbelief.
“This was supposed to be a ski race. You were clearly flying!”
“What 1 did was simply use the platform to jump,” Qin Lang justified, “it just so happened that my landing point was the finish line.”
“Exactly,” Qi Xiaoyu chimed in, looking thrilled with the situation, “Who asked you to use your Food Spirit Skills first? If you lose, you lose.”
Zhao Chen huffed, “Alright then, let’s have another competition next time!”
“You’re always losing when I’m around,” Qi Xiaoyu teased mercilessly.
“Let’s move on and return our equipment,” Du Weiwei chimed in with a pinch to Qi Xiaoyu’s waist, sounding a little annoyed.
Having finally mastered the basics of double skiing, she was initially quite happy.
However, the joy had turned into a scare because of Qi Xiaoyu.
She was determined not to let Qi Xiaoyu get close to her when skiing in the future!
She was almost traumatized by the experience.
“Alright, alright,” Qi Xiaoyu spread his hands and headed towards the spot to return the ski equipment.
Qin Lang and Zhao quickly followed.
The six Food Spirits had been separated from their Spirit Chefs, now they were quietly whispering to each other, sharing the thrilling experience of skiing.
Soon, all their equipment was returned.
“Now that we’ve had our fun, it’s time to prepare for the Youth Training Competition,” Du Weiwei stretched leisurely.
However, her best friend didn’t seem to have heard her.
“Wow, look over there!” Qi Xiaoyu tugged at Du Weiwei and pointed somewhere.
Following the direction of Qi Xiaoyu’s finger, Qin Lang and the others quickly spotted a group of people playing not far away.
They filled their bowls with water and threw it upward above their heads, spattering the water across the sky.
The water, leaving the bowl in an arc, evaporates into frost before hitting the ground, due to the cold wind.
“How did you do that?”
Zhao Chen watched several times but still couldn’t figure it out.
Similarly, Du Weiwei did not speak but her face showed astonishment.
Qin Lang touched his chin, his face displayed an expression of intrigue.
He didn’t expect that people in this world would play the game of “throwing water into frost”.
Noticing the curiosity of his Food Spirits, Dan Bao, and Spicy, he smiled, “Shall we get closer to watch?”
There were no objections from the others, and they followed Qin Lang quickly.
The group of people playing with water stopped their actions.
“Hello,” Qi Xiaoyu took the initiative to greet, “we came from Dongxia City. May we watch the spectacle of water turning into mist again? You guys are amazing! How did you do that?”
Hearing Qi Xiaoyu’s compliments, several youths blushed with pride. One of them waved his hand, “Ali, why not show our guests from Dongxia City!”
“Let me handle it!” Ali laughed. “Keep your eyes wide open!”
He approached a fur-covered thermos placed on the ground, poured the water into the bowl, and then moved to an open space with the steaming water in his hand.
Taking a deep breath, he flung the bowl backwards, the water tracing an arc in the air before turning into a dense mist and dispersing in the cold wind.
Watching this phenomenon closely from start to finish was far more spectacular than they could have imagined.
“Wow!”
Qi Xiaoyu couldn’t help but exclaim and applaud. “Amazing!”
Zhao Chen was more direct.
“Can I try?” the adolescent asked eagerly, moving to stand in front of Ali.
“You can,” Ali scratched his head, “It’s not difficult, but it’s a little dangerous.”
“The bowl is filled with freshly boiled water, if not thrown properly, it can scald you.”
“Isn’t cold water more prone to freeze?” Du Weiwei who was carefully observing suddenly asked, voicing the question she had.”
“I’m not sure,” Ali shrugged. “Cold water doesn’t produce the same effect, only hot water works.”
The other youths shook their heads, clearly, they all knew how to do it but not why it worked.
“It’s the vapor from the water that turns into frost, not the water itself,” Qin Lang explained as he approached them. “Cold water doesn’t produce vapor, so it cannot form frost. Hot water, on the other hand, produces vapor quickly, hence the frost.”
“There are specific temperature requirements for it.”
“If the environmental temperature is above minus twenty degrees, or the water temperature is below ninety degrees, it will be difficult to achieve.”
“So that’s how it works,” Du Weiwei contemplated and then suddenly understood.
Qin Lang’s explanation had also aroused the attention of the youths who were originally playing with the water.
“You seem to know a lot, do you know how to play this game too?” Ali curiously handed him the bowl, “Give it a try?”
“I want to try it too!” Zhao Chen couldn’t wait to join in.
“You can use mine,” another youth graciously offered his bowl.
“Okay, 1 will give it a try,” Qin Lang accepted the bowl from Ali, poured a bowl of water for himself, and walked to an open area.
As he felt the gazes of everyone on him, he smiled, “Even if you fail to turn the water into frost, you won’t necessarily get hurt. You just need to tilt the bowl instead of pouring it over your head.”
“The secret is to be fast!”
The moment he finished speaking, Qin Lang had already thrown the water in his bowl into the air, making a large circle.
The scorching water splashed out due to centrifugal force, and water vapor on the surface rapidly gathered into frost in the low temperature. As the pressure on the surface of the water droplets lowered, new water vapor was produced and was again turned into frost.
This cycle repeated until the water droplets were entirely transformed into frost.
The faster the speed, the stronger the centrifugal force, the more dispersed the water droplets, and the faster the freezing process happens.
This process occurred within an instant, and the effect…
A circle of dense frost formed around Qin Lang, obscuring his body. Under the light, the edge of the frost circle cast a golden halo, appearing incredibly stunning.
“Wow!”
Now, it was Ali and his friends who were left in awe.
Even their most skilled friend could hardly achieve such a spectacular effect.
“My turn!”
Zhao Chen filled his bowl with water, seeing Qin Lang’s success, he couldn’t sit still anymore.
He quickly walked to another open space, and copied the way Qin Lang had done it, throwing the water.
A look of exhilaration appeared on Zhao Chen’s face amidst the thick mist.
Although his result was not as great as Qin Lang’s, he was successful for sure.
“We want to try too!”
Qi Xiaoyu and Du Weiwei moved forward quickly, ready to give it a try.
The others were having a blast but Qin Lang had already quietly retreated to one side.
From his past life in the North, Qin Lang had already grown tired of such games.
Seeing the eager Dan Bao beside him, he passed the bowl.
“Would you like to try using thought waves?”
“Gulu!”
Yes!
Dan Bao controlled the small bowl and flew to the open space.
Spicy quickly followed.
“Cha cha cha!”
Even though I don’t have the ability to manipulate thought waves, I can use my beak to throw the bowl!
