On the race track, the mechanical Phoenix Firebird disintegrated, transforming into fiery red particles. From within emerged a new phoenix!
Unlike the previous large mechanical phoenix, this new phoenix, tail excluded, was only about ten feet long. Nalan Yu didn't stay in the cockpit; instead, she stood on the back of the flying phoenix!
In contrast, the Ice Dragon Chariot took a different approach; its body began to shrink as some space law was activated.
Blue light burst forth, turning into a beam of light that shot straight towards the finish line!
"It seems the champion of this race will likely be between these two teams... Wait, the thirteenth team is also charging!"
"Boom!"
The lid of the bronze coffin slid open, then stood upright, and a bronze sphere suddenly shot out.
"This is... the cockpit of the thirteenth team!" exclaimed the commentator. "Inside the bronze coffin lies another flying boat!"
