Uma Musume, do I have to tell you that I know how to use the Santa Hat special move?

"—"

Just as he was about to take another step, his body suddenly felt lighter and he flew into the air.

As she was running at high speed, she felt someone hugging her waist, and then the two of them spun three or four times on the lawn before the impact inertia was relieved and they gradually stopped.

"Let's stop here, Xiao Bairen, it's time to rest..." A gentle voice came from beside his ear. It was the voice of a senior in the team that Narita Bairen was very familiar with.

Maruzenski gently put down Narita Shirahito's body, and watching this junior swaying with exhaustion and barely standing, Maruzenski smiled:

"Take a break for now. That's what your body is saying, isn't it?"

“Haaa…Haaa…No, I can still go on…!” Narita Shirahito held onto the railing beside the runway, panting but still refusing to follow Maruzenski’s advice:

"It was because of my lack of stamina that I lost the match so miserably at the Yayoi Awards..."

"If I want to put an end to the Stardust Illusion at Gaoyue Shang, I must have more physical strength! I will continue to train and break through myself!!!"

"Okay, this idea is NG~!"

Maruzenski used an obviously outdated joke, smiled and stretched out his hand to push, and Narita Shirahito's body, which was already at its limit, fell to the ground immediately.

Although the fall was not severe, Narita Bairen still fell on the lawn, looking so embarrassed that he had no strength to get up:

She crawled on the ground, raised her head with difficulty and looked at the senior standing in front of her:

“But I…!”

"Rest is not something you should do until you are completely unable to move."

Maruzenski helped her up, the smile on his face faded a lot, and his expression became serious:

"Overtraining without realizing it will accumulate and become the cause of your future injuries...so take a break so that you can do some less intense training next time."

"—!"

Gritting his teeth, Narita Bairen wanted to reject the proposal again.

But she didn't say anything in the end, because what Maruzenski said was the truth.

(Stardust Illusion... I will definitely - no matter what!)

"Hey, it looks like Xiao Bairen is going to act like a spoiled child to his sister~"

Just as the fighting spirit in his heart was burning, Narita Bairen found himself being embraced by Maruzenski and being carried directly towards the rest area.

“Ahhh——Maruzenski-senpai, please don’t do this. I can walk on my own!!!”

----------

[If you want to learn my running style, you must continue to exercise your muscles while adapting to the centered running style.]

【Let’s go to Mount Fuji. This is the high altitude training that Hakone athletes also do. 】

[Let your body get used to the thin air on the mountain, force your cardiopulmonary function to improve, and then you can burst out more powerful strength with the same physical strength. ]

"Huh...huh..."

Just as Mejiro Ryan who was asked to come said, at this moment the East Sea Emperor's lungs felt like a branding iron was directly inserted into them, burning with pain and tearing sensation.

There was also a dull pain in the heel.

Bathed in the morning sun that had already begun to turn white, she breathed in deep breaths, hoping to ease the burden on her heart.

However, this was of no avail, as the atmosphere on the plateau put the Emperor of the East China Sea in a semi-hypoxic state.

In order to avoid further pain, the girl, running alone on the road down the mountain, forced herself to continue to recall what Ryan had told her:

[Staying in a place with thin air can indeed improve cardiopulmonary tolerance, but it will also reduce the effect of regular training. ]

[So, Emperor of the East Sea... you understand what you are going to do, right? ]

[Every morning, you have to go down the mountain to the training ground at the foot of the mountain to practice skills, and in the evening you have to run up the mountain to rest in the rest area. ]

[In other words, climbing up and down Mount Fuji is a training exercise every day. How about it, can the little emperor do it? ]

Can you do this...

The Emperor of the East China Sea adjusted his posture for going down the mountain, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Needless to say?

This is not a question of whether I can do it or not, but something I must do if I want to defeat the Stardust Illusion at the Gaoyue Sho! ! !

Take a step forward and step firmly on the ground.

The body naturally leaned back, and the shoulders that had been suffering from the pain gradually relaxed.

The flames that no one could see spread out and reignited her heart.

"..."

There was an inexplicable feeling of relaxation. My body, which was already on the verge of reaching its limit, seemed to be suddenly bathed in a layer of water, and my steps suddenly became lighter.

The heart beats stronger and the breathing slows down.

The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and her pupils reflected the silhouette of the phoenix soaring in the sky.

“Xingchen, the only one who can rival you… is me, the Emperor!!!”

The runner roared as he rushed down from Mount Fuji, leaving the crowd far behind.

Chapter 213 The winner will be the Emperor of the East Sea

April 4, Zhongshan Racecourse.

The 51st G1 grand prize event, Gaoyue Award, will be held here today.

This is also the first G1-level event that Stardust Illusion has participated in.

G1, which represents the highest level of Umamusume, is not only different in bounty, but also has unique rules to highlight its status in the competition.

Unlike other competitions, everyone wore sportswear that was convenient for movement.

As G1-level competitors, all participating horse girls will run in winning uniforms that represent their personalities and honors.

The weather has improved since April, and the breeze blows across the racecourse without making people feel cold.

Today, as the first stop of the much-anticipated Classic Triple Crown is being held, all the seats in the Zhongshan Racecourse have already been filled.

The spectators surrounding the stadium have begun to whisper in anticipation, their faces filled with enthusiasm and excitement, waiting for the game to begin.

……

At this time, in the VIP viewing room of the racecourse, the emperor had already arrived and was sitting in a recliner, quietly looking at the person opposite him.

The girl sitting opposite the Rudolph symbol wears a white hat tilted in front of her right ear. The hat is decorated with a green bow with a ribbon and a metal decoration with the word [CB] pinned behind the ribbon.

She was dressed very boldly. The emerald green vest just barely covered her round breasts. She wore a white jacket on the outside that even exposed her belly button. She wore white trousers and brown-black leather shoes on her lower body, outlining her long legs.

The girl was also good-looking, not inferior even to the symbol of Rudolph. She had long, smooth and shiny brown-black hair draped behind her back, a pretty face, and her emerald green eyes revealed an infinite look of confidence.

Mr CB.

Or to put it another way, Qianming represents.

This horse racing girl at the pond is Rudolph's former rival, and today she was invited to watch the game with Rudolph.

The reason why she took the time to come here, besides the invitation from this friend, was another reason:

"My students don't seem to have an advantage in this competition in the Shako Grade."

Representative Qian Ming took a sip of the black tea on the table, and looked at Rudolph with half-squinted eyes:

"Question - Who does Rudolph think has a better chance of winning this game?"

"The Emperor of the East Sea."

Rudolph answered without any hesitation.

If someone else asked her this question, Representative Rudolf might have carefully analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of each contestant, but when she saw the look in Representative Qianming's eyes, she knew that the other party did not want to hear such an answer at all.

"Of course, I hope that the Emperor of the East Sea will win this game."

Rudolph said this again as if to emphasize.

"Hahahahaha, it looks like our fight will continue to the next generation... The currently undefeated Emperor of the East China Sea sounds pretty impressive, right?"

Hearing this answer, Representative Qian Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter. Although it was a very ungraceful laugh and behavior, this girl could make people feel the unfeminine coolness and grace.

"Well...anyway, we old guys are just saying this for our own amusement. The final winner will of course have to come out of this competition."

Rudolph waved her hand, not caring about her friend's offense. She stood up and walked to the window, casting her eyes towards the track that would become the most intense battlefield:

"It's not just the emperor and the killer whale. Every opponent in this game cannot be underestimated, especially..."

"Stardust illusion, right?"

Representative Qian Ming took over the conversation. Of course, she had also studied the other contestants in this competition.

The Stardust Phantom, now known as the [Overlord], has entered the realm twice before even touching the G1 level event. Even the little chestnut hat regards her as her successor.

Any contestant who wants to achieve something in the Gaoyue Award will undoubtedly regard her as the most difficult enemy in this competition.

Even if we don't look at the player Stardust Illusion, there is also Narita Shirahito who has also started the Dongsho revolution in the field and is recognized as having the strength to compete for the triple crown...

"It seems that the situation that the Emperor of the East Sea will face is not optimistic."

"CB you don't look... that worried?"

Rudolph was a little confused. After all, like himself, the disciples represented by Qian Ming would also be attending this competition.

"Hahahahahaha, I've already taught that little guy everything I should teach him. How much strength he can display in this match is not something I can control."

Representative Qian Ming laughed out loud again, his tone very cheerful.

"You are still the same as before, you can be so free and easy about this kind of thing."

Rudolph chuckled and shook his head, recalling the days he spent with Representative Qian Ming in the past.

Even before the competition, Qianming was the most optimistic among the horse racing girls of her age, and she was almost never seen showing any nervousness or anything like that.

How much strength can the disciples exert?

How can the killer whale respond to such an exaggerated escape behavior?

Can she break through herself and take the power of the domain into her own hands?

Unlike the symbol of Rudolf, who had already begun to worry about the Emperor of the East Sea, Representative Qian Ming had never considered such a thing from the very beginning.

"The strongest horse girl wins the Kikukasho, the luckiest horse girl wins the Derby, and the fastest horse girl wins the Satsukisho - if we talk about the fastest horse girl in this competition, it would probably be the Sky Shrine contestant."

Seeing that there was still some time before the game started, Rudolph sat back in his seat and continued chatting.

"Aerial Palace players? In terms of speed, objectively speaking, I am more optimistic about Dongshang Reform and Stardust Illusion."

Representative Qian Ming reached out and picked up the snacks on the table and happily started eating:

"Ah - Rudolf, you mean the speed of the improvement of the character, right? If you look at it this way, it is true that he once won the G2-level event at the age of 1. I hope the Sky Palace in the championship will be better."

"That's right." Rudolph nodded.

"But... is that really the case?" Representative Qian Ming threw the biscuit into his mouth and smiled with half his eyes half closed:

"If we're talking about 'fast', then Stardust Illusion is not much behind, right?"

"In the debut match, he still looked like he had no fighting spirit and lost to your disciple, the Emperor of the East Sea... But in every subsequent match, he showed a huge improvement that was visible to the naked eye. He was even able to defeat the East Merchant Reform, which had opened its domain, in the Yayoi Sho."

"Then let me ask you again - who do you think has a better chance of winning this match, Luna~?"

Representative Qian Ming asked the same question again.

"It's the Emperor of the East Sea."

Rudolph's answer remained unchanged.

Chapter 214 The Brightest Star on the Field

"It's finally here... this moment."
