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

He was completely baffled by this conclusion. The particularly admiring gazes he received from everyone only added to his sense of helplessness.

Don't look at me like that. We've been together all day. You all know I never actually examined the emperor's bones. I just acted impulsively and comforted him first.

Damn it... this temper from when he was young... Jin Lang's youthful mindset has only been going on for two days, and it's already making him feel very uncomfortable.

Normally, Jin Lang might have said that directly, but with a more youthful mindset, his prideful nature also came out. In the face of everyone's admiring gaze, he didn't say anything more or offer any explanation, and simply chose to acquiesce.

"Since there's no fracture, can I be discharged?" The Empress quickly recovered and subconsciously shook her leg, which was in a cast and was suspended high in the air. However, as soon as she moved, a wave of pain made her grimace again.

"It hurts so much—why does it hurt so much when there's no fracture?!"

"That's why you need to be hospitalized for observation now, Your Majesty." Jin Lang said to the Emperor, "Although you don't have a fracture, you still feel pain like you've had one—there might be something wrong with your meridians, and the doctors are still investigating."

“I have already contacted Dr. Su, whom Mr. Wada called earlier. He is on his way to try acupuncture to see if it can relieve your symptoms... I hope it will be effective.”

"You can't possibly go to the track for training and racing while you're in this excruciating pain, can you?"

"Ugh... That definitely won't do, it hurts so much every time I move..."

The emperor, who was afraid of pain, felt that the race suddenly became less wonderful when he thought about having to endure such a strong force to run. It was like the little mermaid princess in the fairy tale who wanted to become a horse girl. Every step she took felt like walking on sharp blades. How could she run like that? Every step was torture.

Having said that, the emperor obediently planned to wait until the pain in his leg was treated before getting out of bed. At this moment, Jin Lang's gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, drifted towards the emperor's leg, which was hanging high, as if he were deep in thought...

However, Jinlang had more or less guessed that the Emperor's sudden attack was probably not an accident; it was likely caused by the three goddesses' "blessing." But what Jinlang couldn't understand was why the three goddesses would make the Emperor experience such excruciating pain, like a broken bone. They shouldn't have done anything to harm the racehorse girl...

So in other words, this must be a "blessing" that helps the emperor's growth... But... Jinlang doesn't know why this is the kind of feedback?

But now that things have come to this, all we can do is take it one step at a time... Jin Lang sighed slightly. The time to appreciate the chrysanthemums is getting closer and closer... He really has a lot to worry about.

He had already made a promise to make sure the emperor stepped onto the stage of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Competition, no matter what, to change his fate—he was powerless to do anything about the Satsuki Appreciation Competition, but he was determined to make the emperor step onto that stage of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Competition.

Chapter 537: Facing the Trial of the Three Goddesses Together

Some time later, Lao Su also came to this hospital. During this period, his expenses in Japan had been covered by Hao Geju, who used the authority of the student council president. However, the old man didn't have any special requests, and his expenses were basically limited to food, clothing, and shelter.

However, the only slightly troublesome thing was that Old Su was very stubborn and insisted on bringing every single racehorse girl that An Xinze had treated with acupuncture to him for examination. This made Good Opera a little troublesome, but in the end, by checking the school's files, they were able to find all seventy or eighty racehorse girls who were either active or retired.

According to information obtained by Good Opera, those racehorse girls who were recalled by Tressen Academy under the pretext of physical examinations all headed towards the hospital from Tressen Academy or their hometowns. Old Su took An Xinze to see them one by one again. Whether An Xinze messed up or not, Old Su gave each of them acupuncture again, allowing them to relax for a long time.

Soon, after feeling the relief in their legs, the female racehorses quickly forgot about the past when An Xinze had hurt them. They all expressed their gratitude to Old Su, and some even wanted to present him with a banner, but Old Su refused.

Later, the chairman of the board also wanted to invite Lao Su to take a position at Treson Academy, but Lao Su refused the offer. He did not plan to stay in Japan for long. Although he was too ashamed to go back to his hometown because of a certain disgraceful disciple, staying in Japan was not a good idea.

Old Su's plan was to stay until the condition of the racehorse girl named "Miyu" stabilized, and then wait until the condition of the racehorse girl named "Donghai Diwang" was also stable before leaving. Both of them were sickly now, and if he left like this, he estimated that in a few months, that kid Hetian would have to beg him to come back. Who would reimburse his plane ticket?

This time, Old Su was also invited to the hospital by Jin Lang to check on the condition of the East Sea Emperor. He was well aware that he would probably have a hard time leaving Japan at least until the boy completely retired...

"Um……"

However, after the East Sea Emperor cut off the plaster cast used for psychological comfort, Old Su also carefully observed the East Sea Emperor's leg. Jin Lang and his group stood with An Xinze, who had now become Old Su's errand boy again, and waited for Old Su's reaction.

"...There is indeed no fracture, but the source of this pain is obviously not related to the meridians. If it were just a simple cramp that could last for so long, given the horse girl's constitution, it should have recovered by now."

"So, the source of this excruciating pain... I don't know either."

It was rare to hear the word "I don't know" from the mouth of an old Chinese medicine doctor like Lao Su. However, hearing this from an old Chinese medicine doctor would not make any patient happy. On the contrary, it made the emperor feel even more terrified.

"There are even illnesses that Master doesn't know about..." An Xinze murmured in surprise upon hearing this, saying with some disbelief:

"No, could it be some kind of terminal illness? Wait, what?!"

However, when An Xinze blurted out those words, he was glared at by Old Su and immediately shut his mouth. Old Su then stood up and addressed the Emperor of the East Sea:

"Although I've never seen it before, I think there's still hope if there's no fracture—it's just a pity I can't go back to my hometown, otherwise there should be some books in the library that can answer this question..."

"No, stop talking, I'm starting to get scared..."

However, the emperor, who already hated seeing doctors, panicked upon hearing that even a renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner like Old Su couldn't diagnose his symptoms. Tears welled up in his eyes. Fortunately, Jin Lang, seeing this, nodded in agreement and said:

"So it seems... this is the 'blessing' the three goddesses bestowed upon the emperor... or rather, a test."

"That's right...it seems like this is the only possibility now."

Rudolf nodded in agreement. If there were still illnesses in this world that even someone like Old Su couldn't diagnose, then it could only be attributed to the Three Goddesses. The Three Goddesses possessed miraculous powers, and even creatures like "Horse Girls" were created by them. Only they had the ability to directly alter the constitution of the East Sea Emperor.

In fact, if they didn't care about the "rules," the three goddesses could have directly changed the texture of the East Sea Emperor's feet, making her legs more toned. However, the result would have been that the name "East Sea Emperor" would have no connection to her from then on.

The names of the racehorse girls are determined by the three goddesses in the dark. Some racehorse girls who inherit the names of their "original forms" are products created based on their "original forms". Having lost the characteristics of their "original forms", their names become mere code names, no longer having any meaning.

Perhaps today the leg essence of the East Sea Emperor is altered, and the next day, in another place in Japan, another "East Sea Emperor" horse girl will be born. This time, she will act as the true "East Sea Emperor." As for the emperor... she may achieve things beyond her original form, but she will never again be the representative of the "East Sea Emperor" in this world.

Therefore, the condition of the feet must not be changed. However, the emperor's leg is not broken, but he is experiencing excruciating pain as if it were broken. Undoubtedly, this is a test given to the emperor by the three goddesses.

"So it was the Three Goddesses... I see."

Upon hearing this, Old Su suddenly realized his mistake. He had overlooked this possibility before, but now that Jin Lang brought it up, he immediately nodded and then looked at Jin Lang reproachfully, saying:

"You young man, are you trying to fool this old man? You know it's because of the three goddesses, yet you still made me come to see a doctor. Are you deliberately trying to make fun of me?"

"Since this is a test from the three goddesses, then I will not interfere. You can decide for yourselves. If you pass it, that's fine; if you fail, no one can save you."

Old Su breathed a sigh of relief, but still left grumbling. Jin Lang, who had been scolded by Old Su, who looked to be the same age as him in the past, didn't get angry at all—maybe he now subconsciously regarded himself as a junior.

Fortunately, now that the source of the emperor's pain has been figured out, everything is much easier. Jin Lang turned his gaze back to the emperor, and their eyes met.

Soon, when their eyes met, they both understood each other's thoughts. After a long while, Jin Lang took the initiative to speak:

"Would you like to give it a try, Your Majesty, and overcome the trials of the three goddesses?"

"I thought you'd be harsh and tell me not to push myself too hard, given the somewhat unexpected answer." The Emperor of the East Sea smiled broadly and said.

"It seems that the Three Goddesses' blessing is also effective on you, Tuoruna!"

"Yes... if it were the trainer from before, they would definitely have let the Emperor get a good rest..."

Meanwhile, McQueen, the Golden Ship, and Rudolf, who were standing to the side, all nodded in agreement with the Emperor's words. Indeed, if it were the old Jin Lang, he would have sternly told the Emperor to rest well and not to take any risks in training, even if he knew that this was a test from the Three Goddesses.

However, now that he has a slightly younger mindset, Jin Lang has become bolder without realizing it. Of course, he is both bold and careful. He knows that the emperor's bones are in good health, which is why he dares to let the emperor try to overcome this test.

"Great! The old man has become more energetic!" Golden Boat was also very happy. She had already heard McQueen talk about the changes in Jin Lang. She was also very curious. She had never seen the old man when he was young. If the old man's mentality had become younger, she was very curious about what kind of changes this would bring.

But at least now, the first change in the old man is already visible—after getting younger, the old man has indeed become much bolder!

Chapter 538: The Emperor Suffering from Hellish Training

The Empress's leg was fine, so the discharge procedures went very smoothly. Although Dr. Ma strongly advised the Empress to stay in the hospital for observation for a while, the rest of the Jinlang team still took the Empress out of the hospital together. Jinlang, as the trainer, provided the Empress with the service during the carrying segment.

After returning to Treson Academy and undergoing treatment with painkillers for a period of time, the Emperor finally returned to the training ground he had longed for.

However, what Jinlang asked the emperor to train next was something that the emperor found rather puzzling.

"Practicing walking? What kind of practice is that? Isn't it just like taking a stroll?"

Donghai Diwang, who had made ample preparations and was ready to catch up on all the training she had missed after lying down for a few days, almost thought that her trainer, who had a youthful mindset, was joking when she received her first rehabilitation training program from Jinlang, which turned out to be "walking".

However, Jin Lang's expression showed no sign of joking, which the emperor found incomprehensible. She was already sixteen years old and had won the Japanese derby. Did the emperor still think she couldn't walk?

"That's one way to understand it, but Your Majesty, the way you walk now is different from how you walk normally."

Jin Lang had anticipated that the Emperor would question his training arrangements, so he didn't show any anger. He simply replied calmly, "Although you don't have any broken bones now, you're still experiencing pain. Right now, you have to endure this pain and gradually regain your mobility."

"To learn to run, you must start by walking. So, this time your training program is literally learning to walk—learning to walk in this state of pain."

"If you can't adapt, forget about the Chrysanthemum Festival, you might not even be able to win an OP match. Emperor, we must be prepared that this growing pain will linger around you until the Chrysanthemum Festival."

Jinlang thought a lot all night, and he felt that he had figured out why the three goddesses used this kind of "blessing" to test the emperor. Because the emperor's fate of breaking his bone the first time had already been avoided, but now the three goddesses had made the emperor experience the pain of a fracture without actually causing it—so Jinlang had to believe that this pain was lasting according to the normal time frame for a fracture, and given the racehorse girl's physique, it would take at least six months to recover.

Six months later, the Chrysanthemum Awards will begin in just over three months. Therefore, Jin Lang must be prepared to have the Empress endure the pain and compete on the field. This is not just Jin Lang's wish for the Empress to step onto the Chrysanthemum Awards stage, but also that when the time comes, even if the Empress is not ready, as long as her leg is not broken, she will do everything she can to participate and give it her all.

Rather than making a mess of things later, it's better to steel yourself and prepare now. This is Jin Lang's current thought—of course, it's quite different from his thoughts when he was older.

But what the Empress needs now is not a caring old father, but a trainer who can guide her, a comrade who can support her forward. Therefore, Jin Lang is now drawing on the sharpness he had when he was a rider or a horse trainer—perhaps some have forgotten, but Jin Lang himself has not forgotten that feeling, that passion of his youthful vigor.

"Huh? But, don't we have painkillers?"

The Empress hesitated upon hearing this. Although she had already decided to begin training, she planned to start after receiving a painkiller injection. However, Jin Lang shook his head and said calmly:

"Painkillers can numb your nerves, making you subconsciously slack off, relax, or even feel sleepy. This is something you absolutely cannot do during training. If you fall and get injured because you are distracted, that would be a real loss."

"Furthermore, we can't give you a painkiller injection before you go on the field; that would be against the rules."

"Moreover, too much painkiller can also affect your body, making your reactions sluggish and even slowing down your start, which is a real no-no for a skill-based racehorse like you."

"You must learn to adapt and be prepared to fight this excruciating pain, which feels like a broken bone, for a long time, and slowly develop your strength from this pain. We only have a little over three months, so Your Majesty, you must be mentally prepared for this."

At this moment, Imami seemed to have completely shed his previous image of caring for all the racehorse girls as if they were his own children, becoming sharp and unquestionable—making Rudolf, who was standing to the side, think of his former trainer, Ms. Tojo Hana, who was just such a strict yet caring trainer for the racehorse girls.

However, the situation of the Emperor of the East Sea is very special. Rudolf doesn't know what Tojo Hana would do in this situation—but at least she shouldn't be as tough on the Emperor of the East Sea as Imamura, but rather leave the choice to the Emperor.

However, if that's the case, the emperor might slack off in ordinary times, and his performance at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation would be unsatisfactory. Therefore, Rudolf did not object to Jinlang's training formation this time.

This was not child's play, but an attempt to overcome the trials given by the three goddesses, and it was also related to the emperor's chrysanthemum appreciation. Therefore, Jin Lang's unusually strictness at this moment allowed Rudolf and his group to see a different side of Jin Lang than usual.

"Alas...but..." The Emperor of the East Sea seemed to want to say something more, but Jin Lang immediately frowned and interrupted him, saying:

"You ask too many questions! Emperor of the East Sea! Now! Stand at attention!"

"Huh?!" The emperor was startled and immediately stood up straight. However, as soon as he moved his left leg, he was made to grimace in pain and could not stand up at all.

Seeing this, Lang immediately spoke up: "Your Majesty, look at yourself. If you can't get used to this kind of pain, how much of your strength can you perform on the track? Do you want to be the first racehorse in history to fall down as soon as it leaves the gate?"

"Now is not the time to fear the pain. There is nothing wrong with your bones. This is a test given to you by the Three Goddesses. If you cannot overcome it, you will never be able to surpass your own limits. Remember your determination!"

"Now, listen to my whistle! One whistle, one step! Begin—go!"

Jin Lang gave the emperor no time to react, picked up his whistle and emitted a sharp sound. The emperor shuddered again and instinctively took a step forward.

However, the moment he took that first step, the pain was so intense that it made the emperor tremble all over, and tears welled up in his eyes without his even realizing it.

But Jinlang's whistle paid no heed to any of this; before the emperor could even catch his breath, the next whistle followed immediately.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—wait a minute! Just a minute! Let me catch my breath!"

"Dorena! It hurts so much! Help me, Drena!"

"Waaaaah! Tuona is a devil! A heartless devil! I curse you to go to hell!"

However, Jin Lang remained unmoved by the emperor's wailing and ignored his accusations. Then a strange scene unfolded: the emperor, tears streaming down his face, walked step by step across the training field, as if each step was an immense ordeal. Jin Lang, standing beside him on the ground, remained unmoved by the emperor's cries and followed him around the field, step by step, to the sound of the whistle.

"I have a feeling... the trainers have definitely become stricter than before."

McQueen blinked as she looked at Jin Lang, finding it quite novel. She thought she knew the person she loved well enough, but she hadn't expected Jin Lang to reveal a side of herself she had never seen before.

McQueen couldn't help but imagine what would have happened if his trainer, with such a temper, had confronted his grandmother back then... He probably would have gone too far.
