However, nowadays, unless Miyu slows down and forcibly slows down to affect McQueen with his own [domain], but if McQueen reacts quickly and distances himself from Miyu, then for Miyu, accelerating again would be a losing proposition.

"Since that's the case... we'll just have to go for it."

Mi Yu was determined. Since that was the case, she would try to create distance between herself and McQueen! Once the distance was created, even McQueen's tactic of conserving his energy would no longer affect her.

Thinking this, Mi Yu quickly condensed her own [Domain]! Once again, a dark figure materialized behind Mi Yu! It immediately exerted tremendous pressure on the horse girls in front of her who were using the escape tactic!

"It's finally here!"

The moment Mi Yu's [Domain] was activated, the horse racing girls in the stands were all taken aback. Jin Lang, who had already informed McQueen about this situation, paused for a moment, then muttered to himself:

"Now is the perfect time to speed things up, McQueen. Don't let Mi Yu leave you behind, stick close to her!"

As Jin Lang said, after explaining all the details to McQueen, McQueen immediately reacted to Mi Yu's actions—without saying a word, he began to slowly accelerate, using his most proficient method of long-distance acceleration to try to surpass Mi Yu's speed!

At this moment, they were still a full 1500 meters from the finish line! This distance was more than enough to give McQueen and Mi Yu a boost!

Chapter 498: McQueen, at a disadvantage?

"We can see! Miyu has started to accelerate! The race is only halfway through! Miyu is now gradually breaking forward! It is trying to overtake the runners in the pack and take the lead!"

"And Megumi McQueen is right behind! His acceleration is in no way inferior to Miyu's! Could this be the start of a duel between the two strongest contenders in the Spring Emperor's Prize?!"

At this moment, the sudden surge of Miyu and McQueen, who were close behind, could not be considered a wise move for this Spring Emperor's Slam. Starting to accelerate when there was still half the distance left in the race was not a reasonable tactic for most female racehorses. Unfortunately, Miyu and McQueen's running styles were just right to use this tactic. They both needed enough distance to drive their long-distance acceleration.

Therefore, this distance is arguably the best opportunity for them to accelerate, providing enough distance for them to gradually get into their stride and also allowing them to reach a terrifying sprint speed.

At the beginning, with the acceleration of Mi Yu and the effect of her [Domain], her acceleration was much faster than McQueen's. Soon, the distance between Mi Yu and McQueen, who was accelerating, gradually widened. She also launched her attack on the several racehorse girls in front of her who were using the escape tactic without any mercy!

"Don't come any closer!"

As the innocent racehorse girls who had used the escape tactic were slowly approached by Mi Yu, expressions of terror appeared on their faces. Every racehorse girl who had witnessed the terror of Mi Yu's "domain" and had no confidence in her ability to resist it was terrified at the prospect of facing this scene.

However, their words failed to evoke any pity in Mi Yu—no, it should be said that if it were Mi Yu's usual personality, she might be very resistant to backstabbing or defeating someone. After all, Mi Yu is a very simple and kind girl, a girl who is even trembling with fear in a Souls-like game, saying "I'm sorry" several times after every slash. It is conceivable how much she resists acts of harm.

However, now influenced by the Golden Master, Mi Yu, who is praised as the "Black Hero", has completely separated her usual state from her competition state. Now, she will not hesitate at all on the field!

Therefore, facing the two runaway racehorse girls in front of him, whose rhythm was somewhat disrupted by his aggressive approach, Mi Yu mercilessly used his [Domain] on them, giving them a quick and merciful retreat.

The short blade is raised! Swinged down! A large portion of the strength is drained, all in one fluid motion!

"Oyster--!"

Soon, one of the runaway horse girls quickly slowed down and ran away, and Mi Yu, taking advantage of this momentum, pressed her advantage and swung her sword at another runaway horse girl!

"Oysters!"

Finally, the last horse girl using the escape tactic retreated unwillingly. Now, having defeated two horse girls in succession, the momentum of the horse girl Mi Yu continued to advance, and the distance between her and McQueen widened in an instant!

"Number 7 and Number 9 racehorses have both lost speed! Miyu is still pressing forward! Megumi McQueen is close behind! But the gap between him and Miyu is still widening!"

"Miyu is now charging forward without hesitation! He has already put two horse lengths ahead of Megumi McQueen!"

"Can Megakure McQueen overtake us?! Can Megakure McQueen overtake us?! He's almost three horse lengths ahead of us now!"

"McQueen..."

Such a scene made even the horse racing girls, who hadn't participated in the tactical discussion, nervous. Especially Madam Meguro, whose eyes behind her sunglasses became serious. Although the current situation didn't indicate the outcome, McQueen's disadvantage still made her somewhat nervous.

Madam Meguro now regrets coming to watch McQueen's match with such a grand display. If she had been more discreet, even if McQueen had unexpectedly lost, his reputation wouldn't have suffered much damage.

However, this time, because it was the second consecutive year of winning the Spring Emperor's Prize, the old lady was quite excited. Since neither the Opera King nor the Golden Master had any top-class racehorse girls entering the race, she felt that McQueen was bound to win this time.

However, the old lady eventually ran out of energy. She had heard of Mi Yu, but had never seen her races. She only knew that she was one of the better racehorses last year, but that she was probably not as good as McQueen.

But now, the old lady realizes that she was wrong. The strength that Mi Yu has shown can completely threaten McQueen's position, and Jin Lang's assessment of 60% may actually be a conservative guess.

However, it was too late for regrets now. Looking at the unchanged situation, the old lady had to consider the worst-case scenario. She tugged at Aldan's sleeve and conveyed some words to her. After a slight silence, Aldan softly replied:

“I understand, Grandmother.”

After accepting the task, Aldan got up to deal with it. However, just as Aldan was about to pass in front of Jinlang, she felt several hands grab her from behind.

Ardan turned her head and saw that Rudo, the Emperor of the East Sea, and the Golden Ship were all silently pulling her to sit down. At this moment, Jin Lang, who had been silent until now, finally spoke softly:

"Miss Aldan, may I ask what business you are in such a hurry to leave for?"

"If the goal is to retrieve the cannons that are already set up outside, then I suggest we don't do that. The competition isn't over yet."

"Moreover, if McQueen knew about this, she would be very upset. Even if McQueen loses in the end, as a prestigious family, shouldn't the Mejiro family also offer this salute to the other champion to show their magnanimity?"

"……I see."

Aldan, who wasn't really keen on doing this in the first place, glanced at the old lady Megumi sitting in the upper seat after hearing Jinlang's words. However, in the end, perhaps because she trusted Jinlang's judgment, or perhaps because she felt that Jinlang's method was the best solution, she slowly returned to her seat.

Having witnessed Aldan being pulled back by Jinlang and his group, and then slowly returning, Madam Meguro seemed to regain some composure and continued watching the match with focused attention.

"Well done, Mr. Jinlang." Rudolf smiled and said to Jinlang. On the side, the East Sea Emperor also looked at his trainer with an approving look. Golden Ship felt that all of this was just as it should be, and of course, her mood had improved a lot.

Aldan's actions were very obvious; they could all guess what Madam Meguro had asked Aldan to do, and they could have stopped him as McQueen's friends, but Jinlang spoke as a trainer.

While he said this to Aldan, he was actually conveying his words to Madam Meguro. Imai's actions already showed that he was willing to bear all the consequences, and he had full confidence in McQueen.

Despite the praise from the female racehorses, Jin Lang didn't think he had done anything remarkable. However, this incident seemed to have intensified some of his thoughts, some of his ideas about McQueen's future...

However, for now, he can only focus his energy on the race. Although he stopped Aldan, it doesn't mean he thinks McQueen is guaranteed to win—this isn't a horse race, after all, and he's not in the saddle, otherwise things would be much simpler.

Many opportunities can only be seized by McQueen himself. All he can do now is believe in McQueen, believe that the current McQueen can change his own destiny and also change the destiny of Mi Yu.

On the racetrack at this moment, the rate at which the gap between McQueen and Michel Barnier was widening slowed down at a visible speed. Gradually, with a distance of three horse lengths left, the gap between Michel Barnier and McQueen finally came to a complete halt, and gradually, McQueen's opportunity arrived.

McQueen accelerated and slowly began to gain the upper hand, step by step, slowly but gradually moving closer to the direction of the rice bath!

McQueen's long-lost aura began to erupt. Having mastered the two most relied-upon abilities of Racergirl, McQueen was finally showing her advantages!

Chapter 499: The Wonderful Use of the Domain, Complete Mastery of Pure White Rhythm

Miu Miu is a very tough opponent for McQueen, mainly because Miu Miu and McQueen have very similar strengths. It can be said that in long-distance races, as long as they don't encounter monster-level racehorses like Golden Master, they have an absolute dominant position and can be called "the king of long distances".

Moreover, Mi Yu and McQueen's running styles are very similar. They are both better at starting and are suitable for long-distance acceleration. They both need a certain distance to accelerate before they can unleash their full potential. If Jin Lang had joined Mi Yu earlier and brought her into the team for training, he would have experienced the ease that Wada had experienced back then. This is because McQueen and Mi Yu's training and strengths are almost identical, and their training methods can be mutually referenced without much modification.

If they were companions, McQueen and Miu would be best friends; if they were rivals, they would be lifelong enemies, each worthy of a fight.

However, just as Miyu has her own advantages, so does McQueen. They are very similar, but not exactly the same. There are no two racehorse girls in this world that run in exactly the same way.

Even though they are both top runners in long distances and have similar running styles, McQueen and Michel have different strengths.

Mi Bath has a faster acceleration than McQueen. If McQueen and Mi Bath are accelerated to the same speed, Mi Bath can reach that speed in less time and get into the zone faster than McQueen.

But McQueen's advantage is that, given enough time to sprint, she may not be able to accelerate to a specified speed as quickly as Miu, but she can certainly reach a speed that Miu cannot achieve!

The reason for this difference was not mentioned to McQueen in person, mainly because he was afraid that McQueen would feel inferior—because, according to Jin Lang's guess, it should be related to the weight difference between the two women.

Of course, besides that, McQueen has an even more powerful weapon, which is the [aura] that Mi Yu lacks!

Since McQueen acquired [Pure White Rhythm], she has rarely used this ability. This is because most racehorse girls have limited distance adaptability. Under McQueen's domain, the track is extended by 700 meters, which is enough for a group of racehorse girls with already limited adaptability to give up on the spot. Therefore, after McQueen awakened her domain, she rarely used her aura.

Compared to the rest of the team, McQueen's aura is very ordinary, his compatibility is average (about 60%), and he doesn't have the powerful breakthrough of a famous general like Raging Waves (compatibility 80%, 100% for this horse substitute). He doesn't have the level of perfect harmony between man and horse like Good Opera (which can reach over 99%), let alone the monsters like Golden Master (98%) and Golden Ship (100%).

However, when facing a racehorse girl like Mi Yu, who has already broken through her own talent limit by awakening her [Domain], the addition of [Aura], which has only average compatibility, makes a completely different result!

[Aura] can bring McQueen an extremely huge boost, allowing her to enter acceleration mode more quickly, with even stronger confidence, reaching a speed that approaches her physical limits! This is enough for McQueen!

Therefore, when Mi Yu had pulled away from McQueen by three horse lengths, he could no longer increase the distance. McQueen, who was slowly getting into the zone, continued to approach Mi Yu step by step.

Moreover, McQueen's speed increased at a visible pace. The frequency of her steps, the speed of her strides, and the small bounce with each step she took, all contributed to closing the gap between her and Mi Yu through repetitive movements.

Although it's a small difference, everyone can see that McQueen is overtaking them!

"McQueen! Megumi McQueen! He hasn't been left behind! He's catching up again! The gap between him and Miyu is narrowing! It's narrowing!"

"Mejiro McQueen is catching up to Miyu's pace! He's getting closer and closer! But there are only 500 meters left on the track!"

The final 500 meters! Mi Yu had already sensed McQueen closing in from behind. For Mi Yu and McQueen, the distance ahead wasn't 500 meters, but 1200 meters! 1200 meters was enough for Mi Yu and McQueen to accelerate to their maximum speed!

Therefore, facing the aggressive approach of McQueen, Mi Yu was not in a hurry. She simply kept adjusting her pace to ensure that her acceleration was not interrupted and to avoid being "bumped" by McQueen's "momentum".

Aura has a certain impact, and once it collides with something, Mi Yu's acceleration will be hindered. Although Mi Yu doesn't think McQueen would use collisions to fight him, it's always better to be cautious.

Moreover, Mi Yu also has her trustworthy "domain"! Although Mi Yu is currently having a bit of a headache because McQueen is always behind her, her "domain" is having almost no effect on McQueen at the moment.

However, if McQueen wants to win, he must rush ahead of Mi Yu. At that moment, if Mi Yu seizes the opportunity and uses his "domain" to deliver a solid blow to McQueen, McQueen will inevitably lose this match.

However, this process has certainly been compressed to a very short distance by McQueen. Perhaps by then, the difference between the two women will only be a quarter of a head, or even half a horse's ear (Mi Yu's horse's ear is longer, which is an advantage).

Now that McQueen's tactics are known, the result will only be known when we reach the finish line!

"We will definitely win."

"Rice Bath - We'll definitely win!"

With her confidence strengthened, Mi Yu accelerated her [Domain]! This time, Mi Yu's [Domain] was completely unleashed! Even without any racehorses ahead to overtake her, this [Domain] boosted Mi Yu's concentration, and she was now truly going all out to compete with McQueen!

This is a match she's prepared to give her all to win! Mi Yu wants to bring everyone inspiration and dreams in this match!

"The final 300 meters! Megumi McQueen is catching up! He's starting to run parallel to Miyu!"

Almost there... McQueen gritted her teeth slightly. At this moment, she and Mi Yu had exchanged glances out of the corner of their eyes, and they both knew what the other was thinking.

Mi Yu's [domain] was already stirring restlessly, as if she would transform into Rong Momo and stab McQueen in the back if he dared to surpass her. McQueen's heart trembled slightly, but he was not afraid in the slightest.

She continued to push forward, toward the finish line that seemed so close to her, but the time was not yet right!

"The last 100 meters! 100 meters! Mejiro McQueen has overtaken! Mejiro McQueen has overtaken!!"

Mi Yu's [Domain] was now activated. The huge black shadow, holding the Hero's Short Blade, stared at McQueen as if he were a lamb to the slaughter.

McQueen's "domain" kept sending her bad warnings, but McQueen was not afraid at all. She gritted her teeth and even closed her eyes as she continued to run blindly forward!

"Just a little bit left! Just a little bit left!"

"brush!"

At this moment, Mi Yu's [Domain] finally came into play. The hero's short blade was raised high and then swung down! In that instant, the entire arena seemed to freeze.

The horse racing girls of the Meguro family held their breath. Ryan's eyes widened, Guangming closed his eyes, unable to bear to look, and Shanxin clenched his fists, his whole body covered in cold sweat.

Madam Meguro stood up excitedly, and Aldan and Dober, who were standing beside her, also got up to help their grandmother, but their eyes were fixed on the arena.

The members of the Miracle Team all stood up, each with a different expression on their face, but the most nervous was undoubtedly the East Sea Emperor.

"Don't lose, McQueen—!"

"You will not lose, McQueen!"
