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

Nu Tao could see that there were two distinct phantoms condensing around Ai Mu Zhi Ji! Of course, Nu Tao also knew the story behind Ai Mu Zhi Ji; she was already fully aware of such matters.

"—But that's not enough!"

"I can still move forward! I can still—"

It's alright, let's do something for this game, and do something to meet the trainers' expectations!

Nu Tao gritted her teeth, forcing herself to maintain her current... wildness? Sorry, that's the only way Nu Tao could describe her current state, but at least in this state, she could guarantee that she would not be afraid and would not be at a disadvantage.

She could keep running, as long as she could hold off McQueen a little longer—

"—Raging Waves! Stop! Don't go any further!"

At that very moment, He Tian in the stands completely lost his composure. Regardless of whether Nu Tao could hear him, he gripped the railing with both hands, almost leaning half his body out, but still managed to shout towards Nu Tao on the field:

"Raging Waves! Stop! Don't do things beyond your capabilities!"

Others couldn't see these phantoms, but He Tian could see them clearly at this moment. At this moment, Nu Tao, Narita Road, and Ai Mu Zhi Ji were very close to each other, and the phantoms they condensed were almost touching each other's auras, constantly "colliding".

This situation is extremely dangerous. Although Nutao is strong enough, she has to deal with not only Ai-Orihime, but also Naritaji. Moreover, Ai-Orihime has two phantom figures helping her in an extremely "unfair" way.

In this situation, Wada's professional instincts as a rider made him subconsciously tighten his pupils. If he were to fall behind in the race due to a collision, very serious consequences could occur!

Losing the championship simply because of a collision is already very lucky. The worst outcome is that the racehorse gets injured in the collision, which may cause a nosebleed or even a fall.

Even more serious is a fracture resulting from a failed collision!

Wada can see it, and the racehorse girls can see it too, but they cannot control this collision. The racehorse girls' instincts make them unwilling to yield to each other in the confrontation. Their vision can only see their own bodies, but they cannot capture the collision of the "illusion" bodies on their bodies.

It's probably because of the clash of momentum that one of them suddenly falls to the ground, which is why fractures occur so abruptly in many horse races.

The racehorses are completely unaware of the clash of their "presence" with each other, and the local trainers are also unable to see these "illusions," so they have no questions or thoughts about it and just think it's an accident.

But now that Wada has seen it, he doesn't think it's a surprise. At this moment, as the rider, he wishes he could go up and grab the reins of the raging waves to slow them down—if he were on the field.

Unfortunately, there was no such magical connection between Nutao and Hotan, and Hotan's desperate cries could not reach Nutao's location.

Wada could only watch helplessly as the furious waves, the adoring Orihime, and Naritaji continued their battle, and gradually, he began to tire...

"That's enough."

"Now, it's my turn to shine as the overlord."

At that very moment, the sound of beautiful opera reached their ears once more. In that instant, Orihime and Narita realized that the greatest threat had not been resolved at all.

The appearance of the raging waves completely disrupted Naritaji and Aiko Orihime's tactics, and the opera, which they were supposed to desperately pursue, was able to break free of the encirclement with the help of the raging waves.

Only Mejiro McQueen remains, but Mejiro McQueen alone might be a threat to good opera, but to say that he can affect the whole situation would be to underestimate good opera.

She is the true "queen" of this competition!

“Nu Tao, you have done enough.”

"Leave the rest to me, the overlord!"

"Bang!" The final movement of the opera delivered a powerful second burst of energy! All the momentum she had been building up finally erupted! In an instant, she broke free from McQueen's clutches and charged straight toward the finish line!

"The opera has struck again! She's unleashed her signature final kick once more! Now there's no racehorse that can stop her!"

Oh no! —Megumi McQueen watched as Good Opera broke free from her grasp, trying her best to catch up. However, her strength and explosiveness were no match for Good Opera's astonishing final sprint. She didn't have enough time to slowly build up her power. This straight-line sprint was Good Opera's final path to determine the outcome of the race!

Meanwhile, Orihime and Narita, who had been focused on biting the raging waves, were dumbfounded. At this moment, they could only watch, like Meguro McQueen, the "Overlord's" back as it receded further and further away from them...

At that moment, watching the magnificent opera unfold, even the trapped Nutao showed a strained smile...

"Cross the finish line! The ultimate winner of the Japanese derby is Good Opera! Unbelievable! Good Opera has swept the first two of the classic Triple Crowns! Can she maintain this unstoppable momentum? Will Good Opera be the next Triple Crown winner?!"

"But in any case, she has conquered the Japanese derby arena! A true 'Queen' of opera! She swept through the competition and won this match!"

Chapter 105: Excessive Exhaustion, the Fall of a Renowned General, Fu Tao

"Great opera! Great opera! Great opera!" XN

The entire racecourse was cheering for the name of the opera, applauding the newly crowned two-time champion. They were more enthusiastic than ever before, celebrating wildly as if they were celebrating the birth of a new king.

Because at this moment, this seemingly flamboyant but otherwise unremarkable racehorse girl has already won two of the classic Triple Crowns. She is about to cross that final threshold and push open the door to the greatest honor for racehorse girls—the "Triple Crown Racehorse Girl".

To date, only Rudolf, the "Emperor," Chiaki, the student council president of the branch school and the "Unyielding Challenger," and Shirohito Narita, the vice president of Tressen Academy and the "Blinded Monster," have been able to hold the title of "Triple Crown Girl."

Apart from these three, they all have the advantage of favorable timing, location, and people, combining luck and strength. No racehorse girl has ever successfully challenged for the "Triple Crown" honor again. Now, the racehorse girl who is closest to this hall of fame has reappeared. How can they not be excited?

"The entire audience was chanting 'Good Opera'! We certainly understand the enthusiasm of the audience at this moment. This is the birth of a new two-time champion. Good Opera has won the Japanese Derby with its own strength! And in October, it will challenge the final hurdle of the classic triple crown - the Chrysanthemum Award!"

"And if she succeeds in the Chrysanthemum Prize challenge, Kyo Okita will become the fourth racehorse girl to have the honor of being a Triple Crown Princess. How can everyone not be excited about that?"

The commentators were also very excited as they announced that after many years, there was finally hope for the next Triple Crown female horse. As people who had worked in race commentary for so many years, they were also incredibly excited.

They eagerly anticipate the birth of the next Triple Crown Girl under their passionate commentary, their voices accompanying the images, witnessing the Triple Crown Girl's glory—a moment of immense honor for a commentator.

But all of this meant little to the opera singers on stage at this moment. She was panting heavily, as if all her strength had been drained away, and muttered to herself:

"Didn't make it...didn't make it..."

Everyone else saw the victory of Good Opera, but only Good Opera itself knew that it had not won at all—to be precise, it had not defeated another "self".

That illusory figure that belonged to her maintained its lead in the final stage, a figure that could steadily defeat her in the Satsuki Sho, but in the Japanese Derby, it was she who was defeated.

She actually lost to me? Why? Could it be that I've slacked off in my training lately?

No, this shouldn't be happening... I've been using the training methods the trainer gave me, so why am I still losing?

"—Do you really think you would have won without the help of the raging waves?"

At this moment, the figure of "Good Opera" reappeared beside her. She looked down at Good Opera and said, "Originally, you would never have encountered the raging waves on the stage of the Japanese Derby, just as you would never have had a duel with Megumi McQueen. Your opponents in the Japanese Derby were only Narita Ji and Ai Musou Orihime."

"But even with that, you would still lose. Even without this raging storm, you would still lose—because you can't even surpass me now."

A subtle expression appeared on "Good Opera's" face as he bluntly criticized himself, saying, word by word, "You can't even surpass me now, so how can you say you'll win?"

"Keep up the good work, my other self. If you keep this up, I'm afraid you won't be able to beat Megumi McQueen at the Chrysanthemum Festival. She is arguably stronger than both of us in long-distance races."

After saying that, the figure of "Good Opera" disappeared again and returned to the body of Good Opera. Such a moment of confusion did not last long. When Good Opera came back to its senses, it found that the atmosphere at the scene was still just as enthusiastic.

She slowly turned around, and at that moment her opponents had only just crossed the finish line. One by one, they collapsed to their knees under the double blow of exhaustion and defeat. In such a challenging race, which was already more physically demanding than a regular race, the defeated racehorses all fell to the ground.

"Damn it—I'm so unwilling to accept this!"

Narita collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, and tapped the ground with her hands. Beside her, Orihime, equally exhausted, lay on the ground, looking at the gloomy sky and muttering to herself:

"I'm sorry... I still... failed to seize the opportunity..."

"As the Meguro family's racehorse girl, how could I be so pathetic..." Meguro McQueen was equally annoyed, but this race was also an extremely important experience for her. She experienced the power of a good opera when it was performed with all its might—but it was not so difficult to surpass.

Therefore, McQueen raised his head again and said to Good Opera, "Good Opera, you are very strong, but at the next Chrysanthemum Award, I will come back stronger to compete with you!"

"I will do everything in my power to avenge this humiliation. As the racehorse girl of the Mejiro family, I will never allow myself to lose to you again!"

"..." However, faced with Mejiro McQueen's declaration of war, Good Opera failed to give any accurate response for the first time. The warning from his other self was still fresh in his mind, and Good Opera didn't even have the confidence to respond immediately, believing that he would definitely defeat Mejiro McQueen.

After all, I haven't even surpassed my previous self yet. Chrysanthemum appreciation... can I really do it?

Meanwhile, on the other side, the belated figure of the renowned general Nu Tao finally arrived in front of the opera. At this moment, all that could be seen was that the general's face was deathly pale, and even his steps seemed somewhat unsteady. He dragged himself step by step as he approached the opera.

"Congratulations... good opera student..."

"Nu Tao?" Good Opera noticed Nu Tao's deathly pale face, which was unusually bad. She immediately reacted, instinctively supporting Nu Tao's body, and anxiously asked:

"Nu Tao, are you alright? You look terrible."

"I...I'm fine...I'm just a little..."

Huh... everything in front of me is blank. What's going on?

At this moment, Nu Tao's last consciousness lingered, and her entire body slowly collapsed in front of Hao Geju as if all her strength had been exhausted. Hao Geju instinctively caught Nu Tao's body and supported her.

"Raging waves?!"

Just then, Wada, who had run down from the stands, finally arrived at the scene. He immediately took the raging torrent from the exhausted opera singer's hands, and without hesitation, picked up his assigned horse, the racehorse girl, and shouted vigorously to the surroundings:

"Medical personnel! Where are the medical personnel?! Come help quickly!!"

"Nu Tao?!"

At this moment, the slowly collapsing raging torrent finally alerted the surrounding racehorse girls. In an instant, the racehorse girls, who were still immersed in victory and defeat, rushed over anxiously. However, because they had no experience in rescue, they were helpless and could only watch anxiously.

Fortunately, soon, dedicated medical personnel arrived at the racetrack with a hospital bed, followed closely by Jin Lang, the Emperor of the East Sea, and the Golden Ship. The reason for the medical personnel's swift action was obvious.

The medical staff carried the unconscious Nutao onto a hospital bed. One of the doctors briefly examined Nutao's condition and then said to Hetian beside him:

"Don't worry, trainer. Your racehorse girl is just exhausted and unconscious. There's nothing dangerous about her. She just needs some rest, plus our special IV fluids for racehorses, and she'll recover quickly."

"No, I want to give Nutao a full check-up, please." However, Wada didn't think so. The shocking scene of the collision of the racehorse girls' auras in the stands just now made Wada dare not be careless at all.

He was very worried that the collision might have triggered some hidden dangers in Nu Tao, and he had to completely eliminate this possibility.

"I must make sure this child is alright, doctor. Can I stay with him the whole time?"

"……Can."

The doctor nodded, and soon, Nu Tao, who had fallen into a coma, was escorted out of the scene. What should have been a joyous victory ended abruptly.

But this scene still caught the eye of many, and countless eyes watched Hotan, Nutao, and Haogeju depart.

No one knows what these people are thinking, or who they are targeting...

Chapter 106: A Belated Embrace

Where am I? Where am I?

In a daze, the famous general Nu Tao didn't know where she was. She opened her eyes and looked around, only to find that everything around her was pitch black. She could only vaguely see a beam of light in front of her, and she... seemed to be floating in mid-air.

"This is……"

"—This is your own heart."

Just as Nu Tao was at a loss, a voice that sounded very familiar to him broke the silence. Nu Tao was startled and instinctively asked nervously:

"Who...who are you? Why does your voice sound so much like...like me?"

"...Do you think everything you've done has been worthwhile, Raging Waves?"

The voice did not answer Nutao's question, but instead asked him in return: "Fighting for a goal that does not depend on your own victory, you still have a chance. You should be able to change the outcome of all this."

"Why did you ultimately choose to let good opera triumph?"
