Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 171 The Highest Respect for All the Past

Cao Shangfei didn't know what Zhou Tebie beside him was thinking. If he knew, he would be very surprised and would agree with him.

Because if she was a shadow, Teju Zhou in her eyes was a flame that would never go out.

From before her debut to her classic years, physical injuries were like heavy shackles that restricted her movements.

What is even more depressing is her identity as a "Uma Musume holder" and the regulations of the URA Association at that time. Because of this identity and regulations, she was unable to participate in the classic triple crown that countless Uma Musumes were looking forward to.

However, since when, Zhou's cheerful and optimistic appearance unknowingly dispelled all the haze in her heart, and it had already been deeply imprinted in her heart.

Every time she stepped into the competition arena and saw Te Bie Zhou, she couldn't help but want to be like him and emit the same light and heat as a lit torch.

At this moment, the track under your feet seems to have turned into a corridor of time, with past racing scenes emerging one by one.

It’s right to try your best again and again for the sake of victory.

I also want to use these intense games to convey the fighting spirit that has been infected and inspired.

She didn't know whether the previous confrontations with him had made Te Bie Zhou feel this way.

But as long as we can still compete and run together, I will never give up this idea.

Coincidentally, as she gradually caught up with Qingyun Tiankong, the eagle in front of her also unconsciously looked back at the special week between her and Cao Shangfei.

Her dream is to become the world's strongest horse girl, soaring through the sky.

During his playing career, he achieved a brilliant record of 11 wins and 8 runners-up in 3 games, which seemed to be very close to this dream.

Like Kusagami Hi, she was unable to participate in the Classic Triple Crown due to her status as a "Uma Musume holder", but she also defeated Special Week in the Japan Cup.

The moment she lifted the Japan Cup championship trophy, the glory was like a bright star, illuminating her fast-paced journey.

The world is right before our eyes.

However, the moment she lost the Arc de Triomphe Award to the prominent family, she felt as if the whole world was casting a shadow over her.

Later, in the same Japan Cup and the same special week, when the friend and rival who had lost to her defeated the prominent family who had defeated her, she suddenly felt that the haze of the past was instantly illuminated.

The wind whistled past my ears, like the cheers and shouts from past competitions.

Looking back at Te Zi Zhou who was staring at him from behind, Shen Ying felt as if he was looking in the mirror.

In that special mirror, she reflected her desire for victory and every glorious and gloomy race she had ever run.

As expected, you are really a special horse racing girl...Xiao Te.

That's why I can't lose, because...

This is my highest respect for you, for all of us, and for all our past!
As if being ignited, the Condor's whole body strength exploded instantly.

The wind made a sharp sound in her ears, like the cry of an eagle circling high in the sky, and as if cheering for her outburst.

His vision was as sharp as an eagle's, and it was definitely not an illusion. There was definitely a slight disorder in the steps of the blue sky in front.

Maybe it was a stall, or maybe it was the pressure from the many opponents behind.

But anyway, this is the opportunity!
She suddenly accelerated again, dodged, and in the blink of an eye, she was above Qingyun Tiankong.

Almost at the same time, Te Bie Zhou and Cao Shangfei both noticed something unusual in the blue sky.

Without any delay, the two people who had been fighting since the third turn separated tacitly, one on the left and the other on the right, avoiding the blue sky.

Te Bie Zhou gritted his teeth, a determined glint in his eyes, and sprinted forward with all his might.

Cao Shangfei's eyes were as sharp as torches, and every step he took broke the grass stems under his feet, splashing large handfuls of soil behind him.

The two have the same goal - the eagle that is less than a hundred meters away from the finish line!
The boiling noise in the stands seemed to overturn the entire stadium, and the commentator's voice was trembling with excitement.

"Critical moment! Critical moment! Shenying took the lead and surpassed Qingyun Tiankong! Tebi Zhou and Cao Shangfei followed closely behind!

"They are sprinting at full speed! The game has reached a critical moment!" "There is still the Holy King's aura in the back! The outer side still needs Jian Fulai and Mubai Guangming!"
"But! 50 meters! The Condor is still in the lead!

"Last chance! Especially for Zhou and Cao Shangfei, last chance!

“At this moment…

“Cross the finish line!!”

The first to stop was the Condor.

Instinctively, she jogged for a long time after realizing she had crossed the finish line. Sweat slid from her forehead and temples to her chin, gathering in large drops. She raised her head high, held her waist, and gasped for breath desperately.

The next second, in her ears, the audience fell silent for a moment.

Immediately, cheers, applause, and screams, mixed with her name, resounded through the sky in an instant.

"Soaring above the green once again! The champion of this Summer Dream Cup...Condor!!

"Flying on the Grass crossed the finish line first at the last minute before the special week!
"Then Qingyun Tiankong, Taikan Fukulai, and Mejiro Guangming crossed the finish line almost simultaneously. Please wait for the photo judgment!"

After being in a trance for a while, the summer sun, hot wind and sound waves blew on his body. The Condor gradually came to his senses and looked at the notice board suddenly.

Her own name at the top came into view, and her mouth, which was already wide open due to panting, opened to an exaggerated degree little by little. In an instant, she turned around and rushed backwards.

"Hey, hey, I won! It's me! I won!"

She was so excited that she was incoherent for a while, then she was stunned and then laughed.

"Hey, Xiao Te, why did you fall to the ground again? Seriously, we just met and this happened..."

Lying on the ground in the shape of a Chinese character "木", Shenying climbed up unsteadily after he finished speaking. Te Bie Zhou, with a face full of sweat, scratched his head and gave a silly smile.

She moved her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she just moved her lips and spit out a few grass stems.

The Divine Eagle was startled for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing. Cao Shangfei and Qingyun Tiankong, who were leaning over, also put away their concerned looks and started laughing.

"Well, you're still so silly and dazed, so I feel relieved..."

As if he had never run a race, Qingyun Tiankong held the back of his head with a lazy expression.

"Oh, I have a stage performance later. How troublesome... I really want to go back to fishing."

Crossing his arms, Saint King Halo looked back at the finish line and pouted, "I didn't expect that this running method still couldn't beat you guys..."

"It has nothing to do with me," Qingyun Tiankong said, waving his hands nonchalantly. "I'm just here to make up the numbers. It's better for you to tell them about this."

After spitting out the grass stem in his mouth and wiping his mouth, Te Bie Zhou suddenly looked at the Condor and gave him a thumbs up.

"La victoire està moi! Little Eagle!"

For a moment, Shenying's smile froze, and Cao Shangfei was stunned for a moment, then covered his mouth and chuckled softly.

"...Um, Xiao Te, do you still remember..."

Scratching his head awkwardly, just like before the special week, Shenying twitched his lips and said, "What this sentence means, actually..."

"I know, 'Watch me,' right?"

On his usually innocent face, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and Te Zhou also scratched his head and said, “Hehe, the prominent family later explained it to me, and I also knew that you were teasing me.

"I guess I hold a grudge, anyway...

"I've been looking for an opportunity to return this to you.

"Okay, the game is over, let's go eat together!"
