(If any of you still want to pursue this, then go ahead and be a moth to a flame!)

Chapter 284 Fishing failed, but beast transformation was successful!

Upon realizing this, Dongshang Reforms immediately slowed down and completely changed its previous all-out effort.

Narita Shirahito, who was following behind her, immediately took the lead and rushed forward to catch up with the silhouette of Stardust Illusion.

However, the Sky Palace seemed to have sensed something and did not follow. Instead, it also stopped its accelerated movement and silently attached itself to the position behind the Eastern Merchant Reform.

boom--!

Almost at the same moment.

The stardust illusion at the forefront, like a dragon chariot suddenly going berserk, stomped forcefully on the ground.

The deep indentation left by the iron hooves on the grass seemed to freeze in that instant—then, it was poised to strike.

The next second, the pupils in Stardust Illusion's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a wild smile spread across her entire face in that instant, while an explosive sound rang out from beneath the runner's feet.

Then, a piercing scream enveloped the entire arena, and the blue figure blew away the heavy rain, bursting forward with a sudden burst!

[Golden skill, Arc Mastery, activated.]

[Golden skill, Arc Artist, activated.]

The advanced driving techniques used on curves usually only require one technique to control the curves, but Stardust Illusion is now using both techniques simultaneously.

The girl lowered her body slightly, as if all the previous show of weakness was just an illusion. At this moment, the fighting spirit surrounding her suddenly erupted and spread throughout the entire track!

His figure blurred instantly, and then seemed to disappear from Narita Shirahito's sight.

She transformed into a whirlwind, completely conquering the track ahead. Even the rain and the heavy horse track could not stop the Stardust Illusion. Before the audience and the host could react, it had already completely pierced through the track!

Storms and thunder roared beneath her feet. It was only the beginning of the race, yet Stardust Illusion had already gone berserk, leaving all the other competitors behind and reaching the finish line of this bend!

------------

Seeing Stardust Illusion suddenly go berserk and her uncontrollable sprint forward, Toyama Scarlet, who had come to watch the match with three teammates, slapped her forehead, looking helpless.

She had a fairly good understanding of the "willing person taking the bait" method that Qingyun Tiankong had taught her over the past two weeks.

Its essence is to use the pressure of the escape to other players and control one's own speed to give them the illusion that they can surpass it, and to continuously deplete the enemy's physical strength and fighting spirit by controlling the rhythm and speed.

It took a lot of effort to master Stardust Illusion, and it showed initial results on the field just now.

The least experienced Dongshang reformers were wasted a lot of energy under this tactic.

However, Stardust Illusion still faces the same old problem: fighting spirit and instinct often override her control center.

That is, just like it is now.

Perhaps because Narita Shirahito's fighting spirit also contained a wild element, when she had just taken turns moving forward with the East Merchants, Stardust Illusion was stimulated and instantly abandoned the tactic of letting willing people take the bait.

Stardust Illusion is probably filled with nothing but madness right now, isn't he?

Thinking of this, Hikari Toyama couldn't help but sigh silently again. However, she was almost used to the fact that plans could not keep up with changes.

For a player like Qingyuntiankong, maintaining composure and controlling the pace of the game is not particularly difficult, but mastering her Stardust Illusion technique is much harder to achieve.

However... this does not mean that the Stardust Illusion's deviation from the plan will reduce the probability of victory.

On the contrary, this monster probably couldn't contain its wildness any longer.

Then run forward as fast as you can, Stardust Illusion... Show everyone your current power in this derby!

----------

"—?!"

Narita Shirahito stared in disbelief as the girl who had suddenly left him and was heading towards the second corner of the track.

When Dongshang was entangled with the first and second place in the transformation, they were locked in a fierce battle. How come when it was his turn, he had just taken the second place and was preparing to move forward to take the lead, the Stardust Illusion suddenly erupted, as if it had turned into a large cloud of smoke and dissipated right in front of him.

Many of the other runners behind her had blank stares on their faces.

Stardust Illusion's actions at this moment were not merely about accelerating, but also about accelerating through the continuous curves and the squalid, muddy racecourse.

The Stardust Illusion seemed to completely disregard any unexpected events, and continued rushing forward without hesitation!

Let alone not slowing down, this acceleration speed is so powerful that it can only be described as the kind of speed that is only seen in a final battle!

Looking at the figure galloping away on the track ahead, those terrifying footsteps that instantly pulled everyone back by five or six horse lengths—

A particle existing in the illusion drifted past the corner of the stardust phantom's eye.

Her steps were slightly heavy because she was carrying two advanced techniques at the same time. Behind her, she could feel the unique lone wolf aura of Narita Shirahito. The Eastern Merchant Revolution, which she had just defeated, was always waiting for an opportunity to strike from behind, and the Sky Divine Palace could keep the Stardust Illusion on guard at all times.

In addition, there was the East Sea Emperor, who completely disappeared after the start of the race, as if she had vanished without a trace, making it impossible for anyone to detect her whereabouts...

Even in a derby, the lineups today are truly impressive, and no one can easily claim victory.

But now...

Stardust Illusion lowered its head slightly, its crimson eyes unfathomable.

The race has reached this point, with a gap of 6 horse lengths, which can be considered a complete success. According to the experience taught by Qingyun Sky before the race, we need to slow down here and give the runners behind us a false hope, forcing them to expend energy to try to overtake us again.

but……

Oh no, this won't work at all!

The thought of slowing down here made Stardust Illusion feel uncomfortable all over.

Whether it's strategy or tactics, as Qingyun Tiankong said, it can increase the probability of victory, and can be said to be the perfect approach for a [strategist].

But... Stardust Illusion never intended to become a strategist.

Take a deep breath, and the stardust illusion's beast-like eyes gradually become excited.

(If you ask yourself what you are, then of course you're a [monster]!!!)

Let's begin, my own dazzling stage.

[The call for skill-based victory... has been activated!]

That accelerated pace that once shone brightly at last year's Arima Memorial, completely overcoming all difficulties and obstacles, is now unmatched by any obstacle or pursuit.

In this arena that can be called the highest level of derby in Japan, all the players are destined to become her supporting characters!

Chapter 285 (4k) The Dog-Holding Sword Forged (Not)

The Sky Palace kept its eyes fixed on the phantom of stardust ahead, not daring to relax its attention for a moment.

She knew perfectly well that given Stardust Illusion's speed, if she relaxed even for the slightest moment, she could completely miss out on victory.

Just like the last Satsuki Sho, the terrifying final step of the Stardust Illusion was a spectacular sight, instantly crushing even the East Sea Emperor and the East Merchant Reform who had unleashed their power.

(If possible, I really don't want to go head-to-head with this kind of monster.)

However, while this was their impression, the Sky Palace also understood that in such a competition, it was almost impossible to avoid direct confrontation.

Therefore, at the very least, we must minimize the difficulty of this head-on confrontation.

Seeing the terrifying speed that the Stardust Illusion suddenly unleashed, even Narita Shirohito was predictably left behind, and the Sky Shrine, despite being prepared, was still startled.

However, she did not step onto the field unprepared.

Both data analysis and intelligent AI calculations demonstrate one thing: players who cannot keep up with Stardust Illusion have no chance of winning.

If you want to fight her, you have to chase after her right here!

Looking at the stardust illusion stretching far ahead, the Sky Palace's gaze gradually turned serious.

"Let's start here... the carefully honed techniques for dealing with stardust illusions on curves!"

Not expecting anyone's answer, the Sky Divine Palace was completely enveloped by such powerful, pitch-black battle aura for the first time!

Her left foot slammed down on the ground, and as she lifted it again, a deep groove was revealed. Her center of gravity suddenly shifted, showcasing a uniquely hersing, transcendent posture.

[Golden Skill: Killer Melody, activated!]

Since her debut last year, her body has been developing rapidly and in a more authentic way. The Sky Shrine is also very clear that her biggest advantage over other racehorse girls is the powerful physical qualities brought about by this rapid development.

Precociousness is a term often used to describe her condition.

Precocious racehorses often benefit from developing earlier than other racers in classic years, and their superior physical attributes will bring them better results in that year's races.

Conversely, those who reach their peak in the Year of the Horse often do so earlier than other competitors, leading to a situation where they lack the strength to continue competing even if they want to.

In other words, the results of the classic year are used to improve the performance in subsequent competitions.

As for the Sky Divine Palace, at this moment, her powerful physical abilities are almost unmatched by anyone else on the entire field.

This physical attribute translates into the powerful acceleration she can rely on as a chasing horse.

Now's the time, let's catch up!

--no.

Just as the sky palace was about to take its first step forward.

"What...joke...!"

"—!?"

An enraged voice reached the ears of the aerial shrine from ahead.

Although the entire arena was completely shrouded in heavy rain, in the eyes of the Sky Divine Palace, it seemed as if a burst of dazzling flame-like battle aura had suddenly erupted!

"Shirita Narita...?!"

An unexpected and sudden attack completely disrupted the plans of the Sky Palace!

The figure in front of her crouched low like a hungry wolf, its frantic and powerful steps slamming onto the lawn, sending mud and water flying high into the air.

An invisible flame enveloped her body, and despite the torrential rain on the field, her long, jet-black hair seemed to be blown backward by a gale.

Narita Shirahito clenched his teeth so tightly that the fleshy gums beneath his pale white teeth were exposed.

An invisible shadow instantly enveloped the entire earth, drawing everyone into its embrace.
