Chapter 148

Eighteen gates, eighteen battle intents—upon leaving the gate they surged forth like sudden thunder, high‑frequency trampling the tough‑textured turf.

This is the opening.

The pursuit of fame from Hongying all the way to the boundary gate.

Chasing the footsteps of predecessors, the confidence gained from an undefeated record in all battles.

Seeking a stronger path from the crown of the oak tree.

After many generations, the determination to challenge fate.

At this moment, the wills of the eighteen figures differ, together revealing how fierce and how arduous the competition will be in this age of outstanding steeds.

"A Dongjun exhaling as he leaves the gate, closely followed by being surpassed is Grass‑on‑Fly! Grass‑on‑Fly gained the lead with a beautiful overtake—lead?! Grass‑on‑Fly changed its running style?!"

In the stands, a chorus of exclamations.

"Great escape" and "escape horse" both refer to the same idea: taking an early lead and quickly pulling ahead of the others.

"Escaping" is the wisdom of horse survival; their single hooves, standing sleep, etc., embody their nature to flee.

Unlike the aesthetically integrated "Silent Suzuka" style of escape, nor the "Miraburu Bourbon" style based on extreme training, Grass‑on‑Fly's great escape now forcibly drags the whole field's pace.

Horse racing has never been a solo affair for a horse girl.

Especially in a Jidong Derby with many runners, an outstanding front‑runner will drag the pace of those behind.

From second place onward, it affects third, fourth, and so on.

In middle‑long distance races, running pace becomes crucial.

When to exert force, how much, and how to allocate it are always of utmost importance.

Choosing to lead from the start demands tremendous strength and speed, and above all, endurance for the long stretch.

At this moment, everyone realizes a problem.

Their "endurance" is no longer under their own control.

"Accelerate! Everyone is accelerating—but No. 11 Grass‑on‑Fly still holds the lead! Something's wrong, something's wrong! The race's pace is unlike before!"

It's not just different; it's practically a reenactment of that "supercar" iconic scene.

Maruzen Sukigi's myth of nine wins in nine starts, a 54‑horse‑length legend like a red supercar crushing all, its thunderous hooves carving a miracle so vast it dominates any 1800‑meter track.

But this is a Derby, a 3500‑meter track.

Her lead is hard to maintain; even if the glint of source‑energy technique slowly appears, would the other horse girls simply let it be?

But at this very moment, aside from her own reckless running, she can also suppress and weaken everyone—

—with her all‑out strides, urging and forcing every runner behind to catch up.

She is clearly in the lead, yet everyone also sees the icy, sharp edge of a naginata blade falling upon those chasing from behind.

The blade swings, cleaving metal and splitting stone.

The blue that pierces the rock,

Like a war demon.

【When the spirit arrives, what cannot be achieved?】

【When the spirit arrives, nothing cannot be achieved】

Her innate skill is neither a disruption type nor an explosive burst like Narita Hakujin's that must shatter something; it is purely a self‑enhancing support type.

"It is her 'heart'; with that resolute battle intent she can even condense an illusion."

In the front rows of the stands, Narita Hakujin, arms crossed, seemed unfazed by the situation.

And her older sister merely adjusted her glasses.

"Are you sure that's just an illusion?" Pippa Morning Light watched the No. 7 rider 【Track King】, who, having fallen to last, had his tail grazed by the naginata.

The camera's resolution is crystal clear; many can see those few strands of horse tail hair lingering in the air—only to be flung behind in the next second.

"The battle‑intent illusion depends on how you interpret it."

"……" Faced with her sister's "believe it or not" attitude, Pippa Morning Light felt drained, "Is this really okay? Besides being a front‑runner and having an opening skill, she used to run on the lead and chase, right?"

【Recommend downloading, the Yeguoyuedu reading tracker is really useful; here you can download. yeguoyuedu and give it a try.】

Holding steady in the middle position and accelerating at the finish is the chase horse. The leading position, however, comes only after the escape horse; it means staying as far forward as possible, preserving the front‑row advantage until the moment to overtake arrives.

These are fairly safe tactics, far less aggressive than today's.

But Narita Hakujin merely said, "This is her and her trainer's choice; we have no right to comment."

"I just need to see the results of the special training."

Ancient Crown Team Captain: 【Did you see it? Did you see it! Our training's secret weapon! @Training Master, what else have you prepared for your Dongjun's exhalation?】

Training Master: 【? You see for yourself.】

Do these two have some conflict, or is it that the Ancient Crown Team Captain, this trainer, really is just this showy?

Aomo, having glanced at the new message in the chat room, had just turned his gaze back when Suzi beside him asked, "Still not ready? We're already halfway through!"

This question involves a few minutes ago, when Suzi and he exchanged several sentences.

"It's rare to come see a live event; any experimental plans?"

"Familiarity with the racecourse, course awareness, pace control, etc. —you can indeed learn a lot here, especially for a horse girl with little competitive experience like you… but for this Derby, you need to witness 'misfortune.'"

"I've studied that thing."

"Seeing it live would make a stronger impression."

"When would that be?"

In a minute or two, okay?

Then, a minute or two later?

Then, a minute or two later, Suzi kept watching the race, having even seen the black eyes of the Eastern Lord's Breath horse flare with light as it suddenly surged ahead, while the Sky Shrine had likewise unleashed several rounds of skills in its current state.

Then, a minute or two later, Suzi kept watching the race, having even seen the black eyes of the Eastern Lord's Breath horse flare with light as it suddenly surged ahead, while the

The Eastern Sea Emperor, ranked first in popularity, seems to be still waiting in fourth place for a chance, but this race has turned into a chaotic free-for-all; even the most plain competitor shows a faint blue glow of source energy. This Eastern Sea Emperor, a player without any special effects, is truly delicate and frail.

It looks like a delicate small creature, evoking pity.

Then, a minute or two later, Suzi kept watching the Saichang; she even saw the Dongjun's exhalation's black eyes flare with light as it surged forward, while the Sky Shrine likewise had poured several rounds of skills into its present state.

The top‑popular Tōkai Emperor, apparently still waiting in fourth place, but this Saichang is already a chaos of demons; even the most plain‑looking shows a flicker of source‑energy blue light, making this Tōkai Emperor, a no‑effect contender, truly petite and frail.

Like a fragile little creature, it evokes pity.

Really like that?

"My foster father still wanted to bet on her coming; I think the first stroke of 'misfortune' will also be aimed at her."

Aomo said in a tone that was not questioning but lamenting, causing Morrison in the light screen to start cursing.

At the derby, the electronic vampire also wanted to watch.

The inhuman demon had originally planned to keep exploiting him, appointing him as an intelligence officer to go abroad and investigate gangs, but seeing that the electronic vampire's abilities were still lacking—estimated to not even defeat a blood-sucking demon beast, and would turn into bread if encountered—it simply decided not to consider him.

Just let him come out for a breather now and then while playing games; having him act as a firewall isn't realistic either.

He can't even stop the cyber female ghost, so might as well let him watch.

"Huh? Why would it be aimed at the emperor? Did you have the fortune-teller calculate for her?"

"?"

Aomo, who found the voice really familiar, turned around and stared wide-eyed at Qianming's representative in the high seat behind him.

Manchester City Chazuo and Ailisuzhi even turned their heads and were stunned.

"Oh ya? Qianming's representative? Guinea pig kid, you still know this big shot?"

"Confirmed as m., hello."

The most courteous one turned out to be a cyber horse girl.

"Hello… Qianming senior."

Following closely, Manchester City Chazuo greeted, eliciting a bright smile and wave from the other side:

"Hello hello, but Linton trainer, you still haven't answered me."

First glancing at the empty seats on either side of the representative, then looking at the more peripheral spectators on both sides gazing this way, Aomo seemed to realize something, and then... really wanted to advise those spectators to watch the derby seriously.

Horse racing isn't some best-of-three or score-based endurance race; a match doesn't take long, and then one has to wait a month or two for the bigger and smaller events.

If you're just backing a single horse girl, the race schedule can make you wait; when it finally comes, it ends in a few minutes—like the udumbara flower, a long wait that ends in a snap.

So cherish it, you all! Don't gossip about this!

Aomo, sighing like that inside, still got back to the point: "Just a harmless speculation."

"In the statistics of retired horse girls' careers recorded so far, there isn't a single one with truly no regrets—not even the emperor, who only turned things around after a loss."

Bringing up that loss, Aomo noticed Qianming's representative's strange expression and thus shifted the topic: "The Eastern King's smooth sailing is unparalleled; as someone not very optimistic about things, I guess her 'problem' has arrived—look at the field."

Turning back to stare at the field, Aomo actually didn't need reminding—the commentator's voice had already spread everywhere.

"It's appeared! It's appeared! The inevitable trial of every Jidong derby!"

"As if a substantive dark cloud shrouds the Saichang, now which horse girl will be the first to resist misfortune?"

As the commentator said, everyone can see that ominous aura that normally requires expertise in divination to perceive.

With the conversion of light by the Saichang's source-energy instrument, only then can the audience inside, the live broadcast, and the relayors see the challenge—extending like a cloud layer, covering the field from mid-to-late stage to the end.

This can actually be avoided.

As long as you run fast enough, you can "rush past before it spreads".

But the current leader is already wobbling: Grass-on-Fly shows obvious slowdown at the mid-to-late stage, Moonlight Madness is chasing, and Sky-Shrine Palace even suddenly accelerates at this moment!

Your dream, my dream—who hasn't once had a dream?

Three-time floral crown, proving oneself the fastest.

Classic Triple Crown, proving oneself the strongest.

Dark red arm patterns, silver eyebrow studs, a distinctive hairstyle—Sky-Shrine Palace is exactly such a horse girl brimming with delinquent girl vibes.

This attire stems from her temperament.

Rebellious, hot-tempered, even coarse—it's hard to notice that such a horse girl excels at data analysis and logical calculation.

Based on this, she can maintain relative independence in training, and based on this, she knows her condition and limits, and thus proposed the idea of signing up for both the Oak Race and the Jidong Derby.

This isn't wise, her trainer—who has little overlap with her—points out as such.

The result of the calculation is that she will miss the Triple Crown by a hair—starting with a 7 cm gap, the verification distance then lengthens as opponents' data updates.

This is the system and software she developed herself; as a professional, she naturally has pride.

And the failure conclusion drawn from the simulation program she built herself should also make a horse girl who firmly believes in data and logic retreat and hesitate.

But she has never given up.

She wants to challenge, she wants to prove.

"I'll definitely surpass that distance!"

At this moment, she thoroughly tramples the grass underfoot and charges forward toward the direction where some voice has been constantly advising her not to step.

"Why should I listen to your voice!?"

Calculate—I want to obtain a truly satisfactory result!

"Swift acceleration, stunning dash! Sky-Shrine Palace overtook Moonlight Madness and Grass-on-Fly! She first charged into the derby's trial! Next up——the Eastern King!"

"The Eastern King finally exerted force, chasing up from the outermost extreme disadvantage! She disturbed 'misfortune' with the force of a gale and bursting waves, yet was utterly unaffected! The Eastern King caught up to Sky-Shrine Palace, surpassed! One horse length, two horse lengths!"

……

"……"

"It seems the derby isn't yet the emperor's downfall, how about it, Linton trainer?"

"…outer side…… Qianming miss, you're very open-minded."

Aomo didn't turn back, merely leaning back slightly, so that his lamenting words would be clearer for a certain big chaser who liked to charge from the outer side, Mr. CB.

"Hmm! So to speak, this is just the 'common sense' arbitrarily stated by the world; actually what happens is unpredictable, making it interesting, right?"

"Indeed, I also believe in the possibility of the unknown, but I'm more inclined to think her fate hasn't arrived yet."

"Ah, you're so boring, Suzi, you say something about her."

"?" The rarely frank Ailisuzhi, who was just listening without interjecting, felt somewhat puzzled by this big shot's over-familiarity.

Of course, I also believe that 'when you are ready, Death will not come.'

Wow, that's a cool saying—could it be plagiarized?

Yes, by the way, the other party also replied: 'You don't need to tell me.'

... Bōbāng, does your training officer always end conversations like that?

Vetoed, master is very skilled at verbal interaction.

True or false?!
