Ski Into Love (Hush, the king is hibernating) [Requested]

Part 99

Chapter 99: The Imperial Sword, Used for Suicide

At the top of the big jump, a man in black ski gear prepared to launch—

He relaxed and glided on his edges for a few meters before straightening out on the jump. The long ramp allowed him to build up tremendous speed. Those watching from below could only see him transform into a tiny black dot as he flew off the jump.

He soared high, reaching an even greater height than Dai Duo at the moment of takeoff.

Carried by the momentum of his jump, instead of grabbing his board, he let the inertia flip him sideways.

His snowboard rotated twice as his body leaned slightly forward.

With a loud "thwack", he landed heavily on the front edge of his board.

A double cork 720!

After completing one of the most difficult tricks in snowboarding or skiing, the man's landing was a bit shaky.

His board slid and spun a few times on the snow. But with a slight push of his feet, he regained his balance and stood firmly. He carved forward a few meters before coming to a stop.

The tall figure in black paused, then bent down to remove his board.

As he picked up his snowboard and turned around, Wei Zhi quickly ducked behind the crowd—

Being short had its advantages.

The big guy writing the figure skating novel stood in front of her like a wall, completely shielding her from view.

Wei Zhi stood among the crowd, listening to her fellow spectators chatter excitedly:

"Holy crap, what was that?! Who is that guy? Is it just me or does he look kind of hot? I can't even see his face with the goggles and face mask!"

"That was amazing too. So impressive."

"Did you see how he twisted in the air? That waist – it was unbelievable! It took my breath away!"

"I want to learn to ski now, wow!"

— This was the women's version.

Hiding in the crowd with her hands in her pockets, Wei Zhi couldn't help but defend her territory: "Oh, I know that guy. I think he has a girlfriend."

"He didn't spin as many times as the previous guy."

"The previous one was more impressive."

"But didn't the previous guy fall? How do they score this sport? Is it like diving where falling is like belly-flopping into the water?"

"The previous guy was still better. He was just cooler, spinning so many times!"

— This was the men's version.

Still hiding and protecting her man, Wei Zhi chimed in: "The previous guy did a backside cork 1800. This one just did a double cork 720. Ignoring the fact that the first guy didn't stick the landing, the second trick has the highest difficulty rating for big air jumps. Being able to rotate twice is already impressive. In a competition, this might not necessarily score lower than the first one."

Wei Zhi's comments drew attention from those around her.

People looked around trying to find who was speaking.

After searching for a while, they finally spotted a tiny girl crouched behind a guy as tall as a door, hunched like a squirrel.

Spectator A: "How do you know so much about this?"
