Having trained real horses, why are we now training racehorse girls after time-traveling?

Mi Yu, however, was unaware of all this. She gazed at the Golden Master who was cheering her on, who seemed completely unconcerned about her growing stronger, and felt an overwhelming joy in her heart.

With such strong support from her classmate, she absolutely cannot let him down.

She wants to become stronger, to become a racehorse girl who can run alongside her master classmates, so that perhaps she can become a little more noticed and her bad luck can dissipate a little.

With this in mind, Mi Yu made ample preparations, and Jin Lang, seeing this, nodded in agreement and then said:

"McQueen, Golden Ship, thank you for your help."

"Then—run!"

With Jin Lang's command, the atmosphere suddenly changed the moment Mi Yu took her first step, causing her to have difficulty breathing for a moment, and her face turned deathly pale.

At this moment, in front of Mi Yu, the aura of the originally gentle and kind White McQueen underwent a drastic change. Mi Yu felt as if she were racing against a giant creature much larger than herself. The sheer pressure from the other party was overwhelming.

Behind Mi Yu, although she couldn't see the changes in the golden ship, she felt a strong sense of crisis, as if she were being targeted by predators. At this moment, Mi Yu truly understood what it meant to be "besieged by tigers in front and wolves behind."

I feel so bad—I want to run away—

The gap is huge. As expected, am I still far from being a true GI horse girl?

Despite the intense discomfort, Mi Yu forced herself to start running, but she only felt a sharp pain in her head, and under this discomfort, the gap between her and McQueen widened instantly.

"Hmm...it seems like she's under too much pressure, which is directly affecting Mi Yu's condition."

Now Lang has also gained an understanding of the current situation of the three. It seems that Mi Yu is still unable to accept the influence of the two sides' "momentum". This situation has seriously affected Mi Yu's performance, and even made it difficult for her to run normally.

Come to think of it, even if Miyu is strong, she has only just entered her classic years. Compared with GI-level racehorse girls like McQueen who are already close to their peak, the gap is still huge.

Even in Jinlang's memory, the only time Miyu defeated McQueen in the Spring Emperor's Slam was when McQueen was already a six-year-old racehorse. Although McQueen, being a late-maturing racehorse of the Mejiro family, became increasingly powerful, Miyu had undoubtedly reached its peak and was able to unexpectedly defeat McQueen.

Even the strongest rice bath has its limits. Clearly, this is not the peak of rice bath, nor even its fastest growth period. It is too early to try to unleash its potential at this time.

"Hmm, this can't go on. It's probably better to pause." Jin Lang thought to himself. Just then, the Emperor of the East Sea tugged at Jin Lang's sleeve, pointed to the track ahead, and said somewhat blankly:

“Tuorenna…look…there seems to be something wrong with the rice bath…”

"Hmm?" Jin Lang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this and subconsciously looked towards the arena. However, when he saw this scene, his pupils contracted slightly, which was unusual for him.

Because at this moment, a change has occurred in Mi Yu's body, and no one can ignore the dark color that is spreading from Mi Yu's body at this moment... somewhat similar to the dark domain of a great shock.

"No way..." Jin Lang's mouth dropped open slightly at this moment. Even he had only let McQueen become the object of Mi Yu's pursuit with the idea of ​​giving it a try. However, the strange situation that appeared on Mi Yu at this moment seemed to confirm Jin Lang's guess.

That brief encounter was undoubtedly a shock to Mi Yu, as McQueen's aura stimulated her senses and awakened some memories related to Benma. Now, she has probably found her own talent under McQueen's influence.

Or perhaps it's just instinctively driving its own power, but in any case, there are signs that this power is now being activated.

At this moment, even the Gold Master, who was just watching from the side, slightly suppressed her smile after sensing the change in Mi Yu. She seemed to belatedly realize that her unexpected move had brought her a... real opponent.

"Huh—?!" At this moment, the change in Mi Yu's aura as she gradually entered a better state also affected Megumi McQueen in front of her. She subconsciously turned her head slightly and found that this strange black aura was approaching her.

At this moment, under the oppressive aura of the Golden Ship and McQueen, Mi Yu's eyes, which seemed to have awakened her instincts, changed, and her expression became somewhat gloomy and strange.

The assassin in the shadows seemed to awaken his instincts at this moment, and he also knew what posture he should adopt to achieve victory.

Chapter 268: The Overly Excited Brain of the Gold Master

"What's wrong with this child? It's like he suddenly has a split personality, like he's become a completely different person?"

Megumi McQueen had never encountered a situation like Miyu's before. In her opinion, even if one could unleash their potential under such circumstances, they should at least run one or half a lap before gradually increasing the pressure, so that it would awaken like a chick hatching from its shell, right? It would inevitably be a slow process.

But the speed of Miyu's transformation far exceeded McQueen's expectations. The sudden and intense malice made McQueen feel a sense of unease, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time—a feeling he had only felt when he clashed with the "Emperor" Rudolf's symbol of "Domain" at the Arima Memorial.

However, the "domain" of the rice bath seems to be different from that of the Rudol symbol. Although both are uncomfortable feelings, the Rudol symbol is undoubtedly more powerful, stemming from a certain status gap and deterrent force. Moreover, it is a comprehensive coverage without any specific target, allowing every racehorse girl to feel this enormous sense of oppression.

But Mi Yu was different. This discomfort... was less like pressure and more like a chilling feeling. Moreover, it seemed to only affect one person. At least, although the Golden Ship was slightly frightened, she was not affected.

In other words, Mi Yu's "domain" can only target one racehorse girl, which is probably the one she's currently eyeing. She will completely feel Mi Yu's strong "malice." This is a good thing for other racehorse girls, but not so good for the racehorse girl that Mi Yu is targeting.

McQueen was the first racehorse girl to truly experience the power of the Rice Bath [Domain]. At this moment, McQueen's only thought was...

"Does this child want to kill me?"

McQueen didn't want to use such a assessment, but at this moment, the intense malice and killing intent emanating from Mi Yu made McQueen feel a strong sense of crisis coming from behind him, a feeling that even the Golden Ship wouldn't be so dangerous.

McQueen had also experienced the "power" of the Golden Ship, but that feeling was at most like that of a carnivorous lion. Although it was very fierce, it didn't necessarily mean that it had any real malice towards you (in fact, the Golden Ship couldn't have any malice towards McQueen).

But the feeling of rice bathing is really different. This sense of crisis, that anyone who dares to stop her will do everything in her power to win, is really terrifying.

When racehorse girls panic during a race, their steps become unsteady, leading to increased stamina consumption and even loss of speed. Therefore, the influence of Mi Yu's [domain] on a single racehorse girl is actually enormous.

Moreover, the [Domain] will inevitably provide a huge boost to Rice Bath. For a time, McQueen had no choice but to unleash his full [Aura] to resist Rice Bath and keep this sense of crisis at bay.

"Don't even think about running!"

Mi Yu also noticed that McQueen wanted to speed up his escape. Perhaps influenced by the [Domain] at this moment, she moved forward instead of retreating, chasing after him at a speed even faster than McQueen.

The aura surrounding her continued to surge towards McQueen's back, causing McQueen's expression to change drastically.

She felt as if someone was holding a dagger against her back, as if the slightest movement could take her life.

This "life" doesn't literally refer to McQueen's life, but rather that her strength, speed, stamina, and everything else during the competition are vital to the event. If she were stabbed by this "black dagger," McQueen felt that all of that would be lost.

This domain—it can actually steal my stamina?! At this moment, McQueen finally realized just how terrifying this racehorse girl named Mi Yu, whom Jin Lang had been constantly reminding him to be careful of, really was!

However, no matter what, McQueen couldn't shake off the rice bath now, and could only watch helplessly as the black mist got closer and closer to her, gradually enveloping and swallowing her up...

"Mi Yu! Wake up!"

At that very moment, the Golden Master suddenly burst into the training ground from the side, and immediately went all out, tearing a hole in Mi Yu's [Domain].

"what."

The next moment, Mi Yu also reacted immediately. Her [Domain] instantly dissipated, and her steps gradually slowed down.

"What... just happened?" Mi Yu clearly had her memories of what had just happened, but she had no idea what she had done. She looked around blankly and then noticed the golden ship that had caught up with them, McQueen with a slightly pale face, and the serious-looking Gold Master beside him. Everyone was looking at her.

"...Congratulations, Mi Yu! You just awakened your [Domain] at an astonishing speed. This is a testament to your talent."

Meanwhile, McQueen, still reeling from the shock, gradually regained his composure under the comforting presence of the Golden Ship, and stepped forward to speak to Mi Yu:

"I was almost swallowed up by your [domain] just now and lost my ability to compete... Mi Yu, your potential has truly opened our eyes."

"Sigh, but, but Mi Yu, I clearly didn't do anything..."

Mi Yu looked at her palms in a daze. She could no longer feel the [domain] she had just created. She tried to muster all her strength, but still failed.

“The triggering of the [Domain] is not arbitrary. Only a few racehorse girls can fully control their own [Domain], and without exception, those racehorse girls are all Hall of Fame level beings.”

Meanwhile, Jin Lang, accompanied by the East Sea Emperor, arrived from a distance. Mi Yu's awakening speed was extremely fast; she hadn't even completed half a lap of the 2000-meter track yet, but she had already brought them quite a surprise. At this moment, Jin Lang explained to Mi Yu:

"The Empress's Gauge, the Emperor Rudol's Symbol, the goose-feathered monster Oguri's Hat and Tamamo Cross, and our team's Good Opera. Apart from them, I have never heard of any other Uma Musume who can freely control [Domains]. Even Awakening is already very difficult."

"Although every one of our team's racehorse girls can awaken [Aura], only Good Opera has awakened [Domain] so far. Mi Yu, in some ways, your talent is no less than any of our team's racehorse girls."

"Rice bath... it's just as good as other racehorse girls..."

However, Jin Lang's words left Mi Yu somewhat bewildered. It was the first time she had received such affirmation from so many people, especially since everyone around her was someone she had previously looked up to or even revered.

Now everyone recognizes her talent, and even if she herself isn't quite sure, it's enough to make Mi Yu feel genuinely happy.

"Miyu, Miyu will definitely work harder to become stronger!"

"Thank you everyone for today! Mi Yu, Mi Yu has to go to training now. Goodbye, everyone!"

Mi Yu left quickly, filled with joy. Before leaving, she turned back and bowed deeply to the goldsmith, saying with immense delight:

"Thank you so much, Master. Without you, Mi Yu would never have realized her talent. If there's anything Mi Yu needs in the future, Mi Yu will definitely do her best to help you!"

"Don't worry about it, see you on the field, Mi Yu."

After a brief silence, the Gold Master waved goodbye to Mi Yu and watched her figure slowly disappear into the distance. Only then did the Gold Ship, puzzled, step forward and ask:

"Master Craftswoman, are you regretting it now? You've really created a powerful opponent for yourself for no reason."

"—Golden Ship, do you still think I'm the same person I used to be? I might have been afraid before, but now, I'm no longer timid when it comes to competitions."

However, the Golden Master was surprisingly carefree. She had to admit that she had underestimated Rice Bath, but now that Rice Bath had transformed, the Golden Master felt a sense of crisis, but also unexpectedly felt that Rice Bath's power might benefit her greatly.

It's so boring to have no rivals. The Golden Master isn't a Golden Ship. After awakening her talent, she also wants to run a race to her heart's content. And among her contemporaries, at least for now, there is no one who can rival her.

Without strong opponents to compete against, she couldn't improve, a fact that the Golden Master knew very well. Therefore, she was looking forward to Mi Yu creating some surprises for her and helping her rediscover her former sense of crisis.

"Huh? That's strange... Why would I have such a thought?"

However, it was only later that the Golden Master realized that her thoughts seemed to be quite different from her usual personality. Normally, she was very afraid of trouble and disliked the feeling of facing strong enemies. Racehorse girls like Mi Yu, who had a strong [domain] pressure, were probably the type she feared the most in the past.

Why is she not afraid now, but excited instead? The Golden Master rubbed her head. Even though she had always thought that her brain wasn't working very well, at this moment, she really began to think that there was something wrong with her brain.

"Is it because I've had too many matches lately, and my mind is still in match mode and hasn't cooled down yet?"

"Honestly, Ikezoe hasn't been paying attention to me lately... He's been too busy hanging out with that little witch who just joined the team and that annoying Maruzensky. Makoto is busy with his competitions these days..."

"Seriously, I really want to kick that guy Ikezoe a few times to vent my anger."

For some reason, an inexplicable anger surged in the chest of the Gold Master, even though she hadn't done anything excessive to Chi Tian in a long time.

Subtly, the Gold Master seemed unaware of the shift in her mindset; the other side of the "Golden Tyrant" was steadily expanding, influencing her judgment...

Chapter 269: The GII Match with Only Two Players, Eagle and Good Opera

Compared to the Golden Masters who are preparing for the competition, the atmosphere on Hetian's side is much more relaxed. The competition process for Good Opera and Raging Waves has become much more relaxed. Good Opera, who has won four consecutive GI championships, and Raging Waves, who has already won two GI victories, can now be said to be the most outstanding representatives in the team. The competitions they participate in are mainly GII and GI.

However, there are only a few GI and GII matches throughout the year, and you can't participate every month. Therefore, after winning the Osaka Cup, Nutao also went into a period of rest, and Wada also helped her to get out of the impact of the big shock.

After being decisively defeated by Da Zhenhan by a horse's length in that Osaka Cup, Nu Tao's mood remained low. Although she nominally won the Osaka Cup, she did not actually beat Da Zhenhan. Da Zhenhan's overwhelming dominance still echoed in Nu Tao's mind.

During this time, Hotan has been accompanying Nutao and helping to relieve her stress. The effect is quite significant. At least during this period, with Hotan's company, Nutao's smile has returned somewhat. However, it will take some time before she can fully recover.

As for Good Opera, she follows Condor Heroes every day to prepare for the expedition. She has now become somewhat accustomed to the track, but she will have to wait until she goes to Europe to truly adapt. Right now, Condor Heroes is teaching Good Opera some of her running techniques and insights about European racing.

"call……"

"Alright, that's enough for today, good opera singer, you did a great job today!"

"Even if I, Ellu, use the escape horse tactic, you are already on par with me. You truly deserve to be called a great opera savant!"

The Eagle crossed the finish line before Good Opera, who rushed out almost right behind, but was still a step behind the Eagle. However, Good Opera did not show any discouragement on its face and remained quite confident.

"Hahaha, of course! As the overlord, whatever my running style or form, it's all perfect!"

Good Opera, as always, said in a self-absorbed tone: "As a tyrant, I have no weaknesses. I am full of confidence for this expedition, and I will surely win with my trainer!"

"Hmph, you're quite confident, but at the Arc de Triomphe, it's not good to have no weaknesses. Just having no weaknesses is also a weakness."
