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

"Golden Ship Lord! That's not enough to scare me! Let me show you my 'Imperial Dance'!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the emperor's pace changed dramatically. The steady running method that Jin Lang had taught her suddenly transformed into a strange frequency. The emperor's feet were also slightly lifted, and her steady pace, which had been mostly with most of her feet on the ground, suddenly became as if only her toes were running.

However, with this very change, the emperor's body bent forward again, and his momentum surged even higher! It was as if a spring had been given a burst of energy and he had leaped out! The emperor of the East Sea surged forward!

"The Emperor of the East Sea! The Emperor of the East Sea has accelerated! A sudden and powerful acceleration! He has instantly widened the gap between himself and the golden ship!"

"Such powerful lunge! Is this the miraculous 'Emperor's Dance'?! A unique talent bestowed by heaven! The ultimate skill of the Emperor of the East Sea! This is the first time he has displayed his exclusive skill in an official competition!"

"Imperial Dance Steps?! Isn't that—strictly forbidden for emperors to use by trainers?!"

However, the moment the Emperor's pace changed, everyone in the Miracle Team was startled. Even Rudolf immediately grabbed the railing with both hands, leaning half his body out, his eyes flashing with disbelief.

Now, even Jinlang started to get nervous. At this moment, the Empress's pace had undoubtedly abandoned the steady modern running method that Jinlang had taught her. Instead, she chose to rely on her innate talent, her flexible ankles, to generate powerful propulsion and gradually widen the gap between herself and the other racehorse girls, making it impossible for them to keep up with the Empress's pace.

It must be said that the Emperor's Dance is the most powerful skill of the East Sea Emperor. With this skill, the Emperor can easily win many races because, with the support of the Emperor's Dance, the Emperor's speed and average speed are unmatched by any other racehorse girl.

However, this imperial dance step was truly a matter of using one less time for the emperor's ankles. Each use added an extremely heavy burden to the emperor's steps—roughly equivalent to constantly filing a thin piece of iron with a file, constantly wearing it down and reducing its size.

However, the fact that the emperor used the imperial dance means that he has truly been driven to the brink of despair and has no choice but to ignore the warnings given by Jinlang and Luduo and use his unique skills.

In particular, this race is the first leg of the GI Satsuki Sho, the classic Triple Crown. It symbolizes both Ima and Rudolf, and everyone knows very well that Tokai Teio, who has always pursued the honor of an undefeated Triple Crown racehorse, is extremely unwilling to give up the victory in this first leg.

Forced to such a point, even having to resort to his imperial dance, wasn't it because the Golden Ship was simply too strong as an opponent?

Who can blame a racehorse girl who gives her all? At least not Jinlang, and not Rudolph either.

“Emperor…” However, Jin Lang looked at the East Sea Emperor who was now taking the Emperor’s Dance steps with a worried expression. Although the Emperor had used his Emperor’s Dance steps very few times so far, Jin Lang felt apprehensive every time he did.

He could only hope that the Empress could be lucky enough to avoid the strain that the Imperial Dance would put on her this time. This was only the first stop, the Satsuki Sho, and there was still the more intense Japanese Derby to come. If the Empress used the Imperial Dance in the Classic Triple Crown, then perhaps... her ultimate fate would not be able to be changed in any way.

Just then, Jin Lang noticed that McQueen gently tugged at his sleeve. McQueen pointed in the direction of the Emperor and asked in a low voice:

"Trainer, look at the Emperor—there seems to be a very strange aura about him."

"Is that... the Emperor's [Domain]? Could it be that she has already reached that level?"

Chapter 470: The Power of 100% Compatibility

Upon closer inspection, just as McQueen had said, the Eastern Sea Emperor was indeed surrounded by a strange aura at this moment. When she used her unique imperial dance steps, this strange aura, which was very much like a [domain], surrounded her.

Immediately, McQueen's words drew everyone's attention to the Emperor. However, when Rudolf noticed the azure aura surrounding the Emperor, he shook his head and said:

"No, this is not a [domain]. Although it is similar, it is different from the domain that every racehorse girl is born with."

"This is a power that only a few exceptionally talented racehorse girls can unleash, indicating that they are trying to break through their limits and reach a higher level, but now they are experiencing a bottleneck."

"I've seen a similar situation before. She's one of the most talented people I've ever met. Before she awakened her invincible 'domain' in the arena, she had already touched upon that level."

"And the Empress is the second racehorse I've ever seen that has reached this level."

"This has also appeared in the literature about Uma Musume, and the author was greatly shocked. She called this situation the 'Mimicry Domain'."

"I haven't reached the point of breaking through my own limits, but I've already reached that critical point. I just need to resolve my inner conflicts to completely reach a new level, thus giving birth to a special ability. The effect is very simple: it provides an amplification of my abilities."

"Although it is limited, it is still very useful. The current speed of the emperor has far exceeded her limits—and she has not yet realized it."

This is also what worries Ruduo the most. The fact that the Emperor of the East Sea has reached this level is truly beyond Ruduo's expectations. Although Ruduo had vaguely sensed this during the training, the Emperor of the East Sea has only reached this level now.

If it were discovered suddenly during training, then perhaps Rudolf would be very happy and continue to search for the conditions needed for the Emperor to break through. But now, the Emperor has reached this level in a competition, and she herself is unaware of it. What's more dangerous is that she is still using her "Emperor's Dance".

The talent unleashed under such circumstances did indeed allow the Emperor to reach a new level in speed and stamina, but it also increased the burden on the Emperor. Rudolf, who was already worried about the Emperor's condition because of the "Emperor's Dance," was even more worried about this match.

Now, she even began to feel that the outcome of this Satsuki Sho competition was no longer important. She hoped that the emperor could finish the competition safely so that she could explore with him how to break through her cultivation limit.

Of course, the current emperor could not hear Rudolf and his men's thoughts. She also felt her steps were lighter than ever before, and it seemed that the influence of the golden ship's "aura" on her had diminished considerably.

"This feeling—truly, I've never experienced anything like it before!"

"I can win! This time—I will definitely win!"

Having achieved such great success by using her "Emperor's Dance Steps" after a long absence, the East Sea Emperor has finally regained her confidence. At this moment, she even forgot the warnings from Jin Lang and Rudolf, and fully utilized the amplification brought to her by her talent. Each step she took was like a small leap forward!

This feeling—it really is so fast!

"It seems the president and Tuona are making a big fuss over nothing. Hehe, do you think I can't see it? They're worried that my leg will get hurt. Is it because my ankle is very flexible?"

"But Your Majesty, I must prove to the Chairman and Tuorena that they are all wrong! This is the weapon I trust most! It will absolutely not be a burden!"

Thinking this way, the emperor was eager to prove his talent and ability to his nemesis and Rudolf, so he worked even harder to drive his "Imperial Dance"—it had been so long since he had used it that he had almost forgotten the running posture he used to be familiar with.

Since changing his running style under Jinlang's supervision, his previously innate running technique has somehow become a unique skill. However, this skill now brings the East Sea Emperor a different feeling.

She desperately wanted to win, to snatch victory from the all-out Golden Ship, and her first GI! The first leg of the classic triple crown!

"The Emperor of the East Sea is leading the way! So fast! The speed of the Emperor of the East Sea at full speed! A level that is completely unmatched!"

"They've completely widened the gap with the golden ship, by two horse lengths, then three! And the gap is still widening!"

Yes, that's the feeling! As the Emperor of the East Sea listened to the narrator's voice, he increasingly found his old rhythm and gradually regained his confidence and pride.

That's right, the emperor is experiencing that feeling of "I will definitely win" once again!

"The final 500 meters! The last bend and the final straight are right in front of us! The ground is now starting to slowly rise, and this is the extremely challenging uphill climb that Satsuki Sho will face!"

"The uphill sections of the Satsuki Sho make it extremely difficult for racehorses to accelerate on the final straight, and they also put the racehorses to the ultimate test of their climbing ability and speed control. However, given the general quality of the racehorses participating in the Satsuki Sho, the Tokai Teios racehorse must be a master climber."

Climbing a hill? That's no problem for me!

The emperor smiled slightly and took the lead in climbing the slope. While feeling a little tired, the emperor's imperial dance steps also underwent a subtle change. Although it was still the feeling of touching the ground with the toes, the steps and frequency of movement changed.

Simply put, the range of motion decreased, but the stride frequency increased. Emperors were born with this talent, able to almost instinctively control their pace and even the slightest changes in their leg muscles. This change in running style allowed emperors to maintain their speed at all when going uphill!

"East Sea Emperor! Its stamina shows no signs of waning! It's even pulling ahead of the other racehorses! Could it be that the first leg of East Sea Emperor's undefeated treble-winning journey is about to be declared a victory?!"

"The Emperor! The Emperor!" XN

The Emperor's current overwhelming advantage has put the entire audience in a state of champagne-popping frenzy. The gap of four horse lengths, while not exactly a huge one, is almost impossible to bridge. The entire stadium resounds with cheers for the Emperor, and everyone seems to have already anticipated the final outcome of this match.

However, just as everyone's attention, including the commentators', was focused on the Emperor of the East Sea, the golden ship's acceleration entered its peak without anyone noticing.

"emperor."

"If you had chosen the other final outfit, you might actually have had a chance to win. I know very well that final outfit; it can help solidify your running style and, subtly, reduce the impact of 'momentum' on you."

"But unfortunately, you made the wrong choice."

"Golden Ship... no," she murmured to herself. One of her pupils had completely turned into a golden pupil, but the other pupil was still her own, proving the perfection of her fusion with her other self. But just how perfect was it? Only Golden Ship herself knew.

"This is only 50% of the momentum; the real challenge is yet to come!"

"Let me show you the perfect fusion, 100% compatibility!"

"Roaraaaaaahh ...

With the roar of the golden ship, her voice suddenly became filled with a wild feeling, and a sound like the roar of a lion came from her mouth, bringing an extremely strong sense of pressure to all the racehorse girls!

This time, even the East Sea Emperor, who was four horse lengths away from the golden ship, was stopped in her tracks. Her pupils dilated for a moment, and she turned her head slightly with a hint of fear, only to see a huge phantom rushing towards her!

Yes, a pure white phantom! It's exactly the same phantom that Golden Ship saw during her final sprint in the last second when she first participated in the competition!

This is the full power of the Golden Ship! A perfect 100% fit that no one can achieve!

"Yellow! The Golden Ship! It's catching up! The Golden Ship!!"

At this moment, even the commentator's voice trembled slightly. No one had noticed how the golden ship suddenly accelerated. Everything happened too fast for anyone to react.

How did the golden ship catch up? Even if you watch the recording three or four times, you might still find it hard to understand why the golden ship suddenly caught up. Its acceleration is just too unbelievable!

Chapter 471: The Final Victory, The Narrow Loss

"A golden ship! Unbelievable! The golden ship has actually caught up with us!"

"It accelerated while climbing the hill! Unmatched leg strength! An unsinkable golden ship! Ignoring the slightly heavy horse farm conditions of the Satsuki Prize! It accelerated uphill!"

The moment the golden ship caught up, the Emperor of the East Sea realized that what was chasing him was not a golden ship, but an enraged lion—yes, a furious white lion!—that was pouncing on him from behind!

With her heavy yet steady, and even more ferocious strides, she approached her step by step! Before her, the Emperor of the East Sea was the prey, and she was the true predator!

The East Sea Emperor's pupils contracted slightly. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught an incredibly clear glimpse of the golden ship materializing—it was as if a strange, white-furred, four-legged creature was racing against her, but the creature's size was practically that of a tank!

"The Unsinkable Golden Ship"—this nickname is undeniably fitting for the Golden Ship. Even the Emperor of the East Sea could only ensure that he didn't slow down when going uphill, but he wouldn't dare to accelerate like the Golden Ship when going uphill.

This puts an enormous strain on the legs, so much so that even emperors knew their legs couldn't withstand such pressure. And as the commentator mentioned, the conditions at the racecourse today are indeed a bit heavy.

Strictly speaking, Shigebaba is not the East Sea Emperor's forte, but she certainly has ways to deal with Shigebaba's situation. However, she absolutely dares not try such high-pressure acceleration. This is not something that can be described as "iron legs" in ordinary terms; it must be legs of steel!

However, the emperor was also well aware that the racehorses of the Golden Family had incredibly strong legs, and only members of their family could pull off such a tactic...

However, now is not the time to think about these things. The approaching golden ship and the overwhelming pressure it exerted on the East Sea Emperor caused her to lose her composure. If it weren't for her mental fortitude honed through long-term training under heavy pressure, she probably would have lost control just now.

Even though she had steadied herself, the East Sea Emperor's heart was still uneasy. This wasn't the first time she had trained with such skilled performers as Good Opera and Golden Master; their "aura" had always brought immense pressure to the East Sea Emperor. But never before had the aura of Racer Girls given her such a feeling.

In this way—it felt as if he were truly facing a four-legged creature; the Emperor of the East Sea had never felt such a perfect harmony and aura!

This sense of oppression was incredibly strong! So strong that it made the Emperor of the East Sea tremble, and even a legendary racehorse girl in the audience trembled!

"Perfect fit, 100%".

"Is this... really the heights that Uma Musume Girls can reach?"

At this moment, even Rudolf Symbol was dumbfounded and muttered to himself. And it wasn't just her; Good Opera, Golden Master, and other racehorse girls such as Maru Zenki and Great Shock, who were watching the race from other seats in the audience, all looked at the Golden Ship on the track with eyes as if they were looking at a monster.

100% compatibility—can a regular racehorse girl achieve that? This can't be described as just being gifted; it's practically cheating!

Even the best of them, like Good Opera, Rudolf Symbol, and Golden Master, are all masters of "momentum." Some of them can be combined with Good Opera to achieve a perfect match, but none have ever achieved the 100% compatibility of Uma Musume and Golden Ship.

This cannot be explained by talent; it is an utterly bizarre existence! An existence that defies common sense!

“It seems we all underestimated her.” After a long pause, Lu Duo, still in shock, finally closed his slightly open mouth and said with trembling eyes, “Golden Ship is a true genius, and at that time, only you, Trainer Jinlang, were able to discover this.”

"100% compatibility, an unrepeatable level of skill, this kind of racehorse girl would be an absolute genius wherever she goes."

However, faced with Rudol's praise and shock, Jin Lang remained calm and silent. It wasn't that he wasn't surprised; he was initially taken aback by the scene. But when he heard everyone marveling at the "100% compatibility," Jin Lang seemed to understand something.

A 100% match means that the person is almost identical. If they are not the same person, they cannot be exactly the same. Even the most similar twins or conjoined twins cannot achieve a 100% match.

If the golden ship achieves a 100% compatibility, then that means that this golden ship is the one that Jinlang once served as a stableman, taking care of his daily life for a long time, the one that made him extremely proud.

One man and one horse, but now they have become the same person. Perhaps only the Golden Ship can achieve this.

Thinking about this, Jin Lang suddenly felt enlightened about many things.

So that's how it is; that's why the Golden Ship's personality is so unpredictable.
