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

So, Dong Shang Bian no longer thought about anything else. She directly chose to seize the opportunity that the Stardust Illusion did not accelerate, and kicked hard behind her.

At this moment, the whole person and the stretched legs and feet seem to form a straight line. Under the action of the muscles, all the strength of the body is directly poured from the top of the head to the soles of the feet, and the explosive force suddenly pushes from behind.

In an instant, it was as if magic had been activated in this place.

A flash of lavender fighting spirit flashed across the eyes of this petite witch, and then a huge dent was created on the ground by her kick.

Boom!

The shadow of a giant dragon with outstretched wings quietly appeared under everyone's feet, and with Dongshang Transformation as the center, it swept across the entire track, leading the runner to directly leave behind the pursuers behind, taking swift steps, and engaging in a direct contest with the fighting spirit shrouded by the stardust illusion in front!

The exaggerated footsteps made the girl seem as if she was riding on a rapidly flying firebolt, and she was approaching the stardust illusion in the front directly!

Distance sense: Positioning skill, easy to get a good route in the early stage of the game.

Chapter 282: Took the bait~

(Just let me use your slipstream for a bit and observe the situation here, Narita Shirahito.)

The Sky Shrine, who was running in fourth place, curled up the corner of his mouth with a smile, and took a step forward, following closely behind Narita Bairen who was trying to escape.

For her, it was a foregone conclusion that she had to flee at the start and follow the Stardust Illusion to avoid being completely left behind, so the start did not cause her much trouble.

The heavy rain and muddy grass in front of her were already calculated by artificial intelligence. She had also carefully practiced driving in the rain at the simulated Tokyo track training ground in Tresen College.

Although it's not as easy as walking on flat ground, the impact will definitely be smaller than that on other players.

The Sky Palace understood that even with a certain physical advantage, it would not be able to maintain its position against the runners in front of it who had opened up their territory. It would be better for it to occupy a position behind them from the beginning and look for a chance to break through.

Her advantage lies in collecting information from the entire field and finding flaws in the opponent.

Although I had analyzed everyone's weaknesses before the race, blindly trusting the data is something only second-rate runners would do.

The Sky Palace had already made up its mind to first gather clear opportunities on the field before taking action.

(For now, I will keep this pace until after the second bend...)

This choice was made because the two consecutive bends that follow the first straight are usually used for the racers’ stabilization advantage, and the impact of this overweight racecourse will be further amplified there.

If anyone showed an obvious flaw, the Sky Palace could seize the opportunity to completely defeat them in one go.

The girl thought so and looked past Narita Shirahito in front of her and looked towards the front of the track.

The first straight line we are currently on plus two bends will give us a total of 900 meters of race time. In a race, position exchanges and offsides usually occur in the second half of the race, which means that the 900 meters is a time when people tend to be careless.

(Start chasing forward from there, and seize the moment when everyone is careless.)

Having made up his mind, a faint golden light flashed in the eyes of the Sky Palace, and the suddenly expanded field of vision took in all the players in front and to the sides of him, and even part of the position behind him.

[Golden skill, Knowing Destiny, has been activated! ]

The entire track seemed to be transformed into a simulated video on an electronic screen, generated in her mind.

Even without looking back, just by judging the air, sound and even vibration, the Sky Palace can completely build a model of the runner behind it and place it in a simulated race video.

However, just as she activated this skill, a huge wave of lavender air suddenly erupted in front of her!

"—?!"

The sudden rise was not just for the Sky Palace, the sudden rise of Dong Shang's transformation instantly became the focus of everyone's eyes.

Narita Bairen's eyes suddenly became sharp, and then became even more ferocious and cold.

Of course, she also noticed the abnormality of the stardust illusion. The strange phenomenon that it clearly wanted to rush forward but was unable to succeed due to some reasons made Narita Bairen think for a moment in his heart.

But Narita Bairen thought that no matter what the reason was, Stardust Illusion did not fully display its best escape move, it had no effect on her. It would be more beneficial for her if the pace was slightly slowed down.

As long as Stardust Illusion is unable to shake her off, then in the second half of the race, Narita Shirahito will have the confidence to catch up, regain the gap, and compete for the crown of victory!

However, all these plans were shattered by the rapid reform of Dongshang!

As the third runner, he could have enjoyed the runner's tail flow and saved his energy for the rest of the race.

However, Dong Shang's move to grab a position forward meant that he had to start speeding up to catch up. Otherwise, if the Aerial Palace behind him was affected and accelerated, he would be left behind to fourth place, or even further behind.

If that happens, it will go against her original plan at the beginning and she will be surrounded by the horse girls!

So, no matter what, what Narita Shirahito was going to do had already been decided.

That is to catch up!

Before the Sky Palace and other players behind them started to speed up their pursuit, they took the lead and maintained their position advantage.

(No problem. Everyone's stamina is fixed. Even if we start speeding up now, everyone will face the same stamina consumption...)

Now, the 200m of the opening stage has been completely completed.

The first bend of this track is just around the corner. Although its curvature is not too exaggerated, the mud underfoot will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of turning.

If you don’t want to complete this action in the bend, you can only use the next 125m!

[Sure enough, sure enough! Driven by the stardust illusion! This Neon Derby match was full of gunpowder from the very beginning! ! ! ]

[It seems that due to the heavy rain, after securing the position for the escape, Stardust Illusion did not speed up as much as usual, and Dongshang Transformation seemed to seize this opportunity and began to speed up and chase! ! ! ]

[No, that's not right...! The contestants behind him, Narita Shirahito and Sky Jingu, also did not hesitate, and the three of them started to speed up almost at the same time! ]

[The distance between Stardust Illusion and them is only 4 horse lengths at most! Very dangerous! Can they catch up? The gap is starting to narrow. Will these horse girls be able to defeat the escape at the very beginning? ! ]

All the horse girls unconsciously quickened their pace, and the speed of their steps began to increase. No one wanted to miss the opportunity to defeat the Stardust Illusion and escape.

They absolutely do not want to face a Stardust Illusion that is in a complete escape posture and enters the final battle, so this moment is the first horn of the decisive battle.

Narita Bairen looked at the increasingly close back of the Stardust Illusion, feeling her fighting spirit was slightly weaker than usual, and sighed inwardly:

(I don’t know why you’re not in great shape today, but I’m sorry, Stardust Illusion, this is the game—don’t blame us for being mean!)

However, at this moment.

(Varied--)

Before Narita Bairen could react, he didn't know what was happening.

The girl running at the front of the team.

The face that was originally silent and bowed, as if he had no energy to deal with the game at all, has slowly raised its head, and the red eyes have been completely covered by green light without knowing when.

"Took the bait."

At the very beginning of the race, there was this moment when several runners attacked him at the same time.

Stardust Illusion made such a declaration.

Knowing Destiny: A golden vision skill that gives you a wider field of vision when you are at the back of the game.

Chapter 283: Fighting the Witch

To be honest, the runner Stardust Illusion was not a runner who used his brain from the very beginning.

This has been verified by countless trainers and countless horse racing girls. Not to mention studying the theory and analyzing the race situation, even memorizing the basic knowledge of horse racing rules takes a lot of effort.

From a common sense perspective, she is the most typical instinctive runner, a monster whose body makes judgments before the brain, completely throwing rationality and logic behind herself, and completing the race in an outrageous way that only she can accomplish.

For them, running is something they have mastered naturally and does not require any learning or systematic training.

To put it in a metaphorical way, such instinctive runners are rough stones, natural diamonds created by the magic of nature.

So is Stardust Illusion such a player?

The answer is no.

Until a year ago, he had not yet mastered the technique of running and was brutally abused by the Dong Shang Reform, which had not yet been fully integrated. He could only become her apprentice and receive training.

After training, she did not win her debut battle. Although this was due to the fact that her opponent was the Emperor of the East China Sea, it also proved that Stardust Illusion's instincts were not indescribably good.

Needless to say, rather than running in his own way, Stardust Illusion is more like learning techniques from various runners, memorizing the running methods of his opponents and copying them.

Is this instinct?

Indeed, her running styles, such as the shrinking of the earth, the phantom step, and even the true inherent skill that she awakened at the Gaoyue Award: Stardust Illusion, are unique to her and were created based on instinct.

However, in more competitions, she actually learns from others' running methods and applies them to her own needs, becoming stronger by perfectly replicating or even integrating others' running methods.

“It may not be a theory, but it is definitely not just instinct either.”

This was the judgment made by Qingyun Tiankong after running with the Stardust Illusion for a few days.

Qingyun Tiankong is one of the best theoretical runners, and is particularly good at grasping the conditions of others. She keenly noticed the impurities on the Stardust Illusion.

No, it should not be called impurity, because it is also a part of what helps her run.

But what is certain is that Qingyun Tiankong has never seen any other contestant learn other people's unique skills so easily.

Therefore, even someone as lazy as her couldn't help but become interested.

Is it possible for such stardust illusions to grasp things that only theorists are good at?

Is it possible that she relies not on calculations but on that kind of [impurity] to control the rhythm on the field and do things that instinctive runners cannot do?

Assuming that such a stardust illusion can do that kind of thing, then it will definitely be beneficial to her with no harm.

This not only enriches the player's running tactics, but also proves that she will have a completely different prospect from any other player, and proves that she will be more powerful and even have the possibility to compete with the strong players in other countries in the world.

A growth state with no limits, a terrifying training intensity that is completely tireless, a psychological quality that will never be defeated by any failure, and a special domain that surpasses ordinary domain-level masters...

If, she could add the running method that Xingyun Tiankong has been researching for a long time, and use it as the last piece of the puzzle to fill in the gap...!

So, Qingyun Tiankong was moved.

In the days that followed, she no longer just ran twice a day as she said, but could even be said to have been providing sparring partners for Stardust Illusion around the clock.

Not with explanations and theories, but by defeating her again and again by using her best running style, forcing Stardust Illusion to remember everything that needed to be mastered in this running style with her body.

Time and time again, day after day, for a whole half month, Qingyun Tiankong collapsed from exhaustion more times than even Stardust Illusion himself.

Finally finished.

Stardust Illusion really mastered the techniques that come with this theory.

The rhythm can be controlled by the body rather than the brain.

Show weakness to the enemy, shatter order with disorder, and strangle all opponents in their false hopes.

This running method is called:

"It's really a case of willing ones taking the bait."

Qingyun Tiankong stood with his friends from Team Spica, quietly watching the few people on the field rushing after the Stardust Illusion.

"what?"

Te Bie Zhou, who was standing next to him, was looking at the competition field nervously. He didn't hear what Qing Yun Tian Kong said clearly for a moment, so he turned around and asked.

"No, it's nothing. Just keep watching the game, Xiao Te."

Qingyun Tiankong gave a fox-like smile but did not give a direct answer.

"By the way, where has Qingyun been for the past half month? Xiaoying and I wanted to invite you out for dinner but couldn't find you."

Bie Zhou didn't pay much attention to what he heard. He turned his head and continued to watch the game, asking casually.

She, Condor, Blue Cloud Sky and Soundless Suzuka were originally runners who debuted at the same time, so their relationship is naturally closer than others.

After Silent Suzuka went to the United States, the remaining three horse girls often went out together to go shopping, eat, etc. as Tokushou said.

However, when Te Bian Zhou wanted to make an appointment with Qing Yun Tian Kong a few days ago, he was unexpectedly disappointed. After asking his roommate Sheng Wang Guanghuan, he found out that Qing Yun Tian Kong had left the academy for almost half a month.

Normally, the other party would tell me in advance when going hiking or fishing, so Zhou was surprised to ask about this.

"Ah, that's true too. Xiao Te will know if he continues to watch the game."

Qingyun Tiankong continued to maintain his mysterious smile and gently reached out to pat Te Bie Zhou's head, as if he was coaxing his own sister.

"You can also know this by watching the game?"
