For horse racers, making money is victory!

Everything is ordinary, within common sense, within expectation…

The next second, Hibiki seemed to experience a pupil dilation earthquake. The gorgeous white figure that she was closely watching was actually struggling to make the turn...

Suddenly, they broke free of the encirclement.

With a single leap, they charged forward.

"!!

Is this because they feel the pace is too slow and want to slightly speed it up to influence the course of the battle?

[(Iron Will): In the early or mid-stages of a race, when obstacles lie ahead, this ability allows the user to maintain a strong will, recover stamina, and excel at contesting lanes.]

After exiting the gate, Xiao Bai Zhui Xue surprisingly used this seemingly ordinary skill when approaching the third bend.

She deliberately positioned herself on the inside, not simply to show weakness.

It can also effectively activate this suitable skill, which is helpful for securing a position!

Therefore... in the instant of turning, the horse girl beside her was clearly slightly exhausted and had just fallen behind for a short while, just as she was about to exert herself again to catch up with the leading group.

Xiao Bai chases the snow, and it moves!

Move as if freed!

Her figure suddenly broke through the "iron wall" that had trapped her, and she leaped to the forefront of the vanguard group.

And, we completed the turn here.

Thus, she was less than two horse lengths away from the runaway racehorse!

The female racehorses surrounding Xiaobai Zhuixue were all surprised, astonished, and incredulous.

You know, that was... going around a curve!

Other female racehorses, even if they wanted to start, would only start some distance after the third turn.

Even further ahead, Xiaobai Zhuixue, with its more advanced position and greater energy expenditure, activated so rapidly!

A half-horse!

One horse body!

As the gasps of surprise from the horses behind and even the onlookers grew louder and louder.

Xiao Bai Zhui Xue was getting closer and closer to the bewildered fleeing horse at the very front.

Soon...we will seize power and take their place!

The downhill slope has arrived!

The snow-white-clad girl maintained a cold and solemn expression, as swift as an arrow released from a bow.

Her petite figure displayed astonishing efficiency on this acceleration ramp, reaching the side of the fleeing horse that was still struggling to hold on and trying to maintain its first place.

But in the next instant, it was abandoned.

First place: Xiaobai Zhuixue!

But this advantage is not enough. On the slope, Xiaobai Zhui Xue's acceleration continues.

[Unbelievable! Xiaobai Zhuixue started her attack before the third turn!]

[It wasn't a bad horse, or even a chasing horse; it was simply a front-row horse that was expending more energy, yet it started faster than any female racehorse.]

[She was as precise as a surgeon wielding a scalpel, bursting through the bend and getting closer and closer to first place!]

[Soon, we'll go from second to first! And the Chama Group behind us is gradually rounding the bend; are they about to accelerate and grab the lead?]

The commentator is reporting on the current positional changes.

Undoubtedly, the acceleration phase began after the third bend, starting with the "Chasing Snow at Nightfall" course.

The intense phase of the Arima anniversary race isn't just about sprinting straight ahead; it's about to begin right now!

Megumi McQueen looked on in surprise as she stared intently at Xiaobai Zhuixue, who was in second place and very close to first.

She was certainly aware of the situation; the competition was now in the crucial stage of securing a starting position.

yak

Other leading female horses want to maintain their front-row advantage; while the weaker and chasing female horses want to take advantage of the momentum to move forward, and try to get a better position before the uphill section after the fourth turn.

Xiao Bai Zhui Xue had already taken the lead, even bypassing this stage entirely, and overtaking even the fleeing horse at the very front!

"Just as a runaway horse... that's not enough."

"Next comes a deadly uphill section, and with only 300 meters left in the straight, the advantage of being last will be maximized."

"Having gone from the lead to accelerating early, can Xiaobai Zhuixue defend her first place until the very end?"

……

The final bend was appearing before Xiaobai Zhuixue's eyes.

From the curve to the uphill, this is the final test before the sprint straight ahead, and also a crisis that wears down the racehorse girl's stamina and disrupts her sprinting rhythm.

yn

But for Yoshiro Tsurugi, who had challenged the Arima Memorial race countless times in her dreams and whose mind was full of plans...

This is clearly an acceleration signal!

"Now!!"

Xiao Bai Zhui Xue did not hesitate for a moment.

Having accelerated early, she could already see the more aggressive racehorses ahead in her peripheral vision.

This means that their lead has dwindled to less than two horse lengths.

Then, you can start it!

As her feet stepped onto the final bend, the launch was abruptly initiated.

The powerful aura surrounding the entire arena began to emerge.

The turn was completed with ease.

And on that last slope, they began to demonstrate incredible efficiency in climbing.

That was a brilliant performance brought about by the impeccable all-round development of Yoshiro Chaseki in terms of speed, explosiveness, and power that is easily overlooked by Japanese horse racing girls!

Xiao Bai's steps, as he chased the snow, gradually became even more rapid, as if he had no concern whatsoever about whether he could maintain his speed until the very last moment over such a long distance.

!

The final, brief surge threshold is just around the corner!

[Incredibly, Xiao Bai Zhui Xue not only overtook Tao Ma, but also didn't let the distance between them close during the curves and the final climb.]

She's about to embark on the final sprint!

[The contestants from the Special Week and the Grasshopper contestants couldn't wait any longer; they've already surged ahead and are now among the top few.]

[And they also need to complete the climb, striving to close the gap with the leading runner, Xiaobai Zhuixue!]

The commentator's location report at this moment is announcing the current intense situation.

"Is she starting to accelerate at full speed now? Her cornering and hill climbing performances are amazing. I can't let her leave me behind."

"Such a powerful increase and acceleration...is that Xiaobai's domain?"

During the special week, he paid close attention to Xiaobai chasing snow, his expression extremely serious, showing remarkable keenness.

That kind of improvement seemed to be very comprehensive. It caused some loss of physical strength, but Xiaobai Zhuixue clearly also improved her strength, so it was obviously more effective when turning corners and climbing hills.

What Special Week didn't know was that Xiaobai's power in chasing snow was much stronger than when he was admiring chrysanthemums.

Such outstanding strength is largely due to his own abilities, rather than this particular skill.

Therefore, Zhou subconsciously believes that this is the realm of Xiaobai Zhui Xue.

Even if it isn't, it will be her most important trump card.

Since that's the case, I should do my best to deal with it!

The figure from Special Week, the feet from Special Week, at the moment of crossing the ramp and reaching the sprint straight line!

[(Domain: Meteor): When in the lead and successfully overtakes others towards the end of the race, it will surge forward with a slight boost in acceleration.]

[Exclusive - The Final Sprint to Realize Your Dreams: Significantly Increase Speed ​​During the Crucial Moments of the Final Sprint]

Those steps, that acceleration, were incredibly fierce, instantly taking the lead in surpassing others.

This is precisely... the last foot that she is most proud of, the super champion who is known as the "General of Japan" and who dominated the spring and autumn imperial prizes and won the Japan Cup!

Furthermore, the sheer power of the domain, far surpassing Xiao Bai Zhui Xue's exclusive skills, dominated the entire arena.

fourth place!

Third place!

The special week was drawing ever closer, its sword pointing towards the figure speeding at the very front of the straight line.

Although the efficiency was caught up, it was surprisingly slow.

As expected, the run from the Autumn Emperor's Prize to the Japan Cup took a heavy toll on his body, and he was unable to fully recover.

But based on this trend, it should still be possible to recover the money…

In the next instant, Zhou's pupils trembled slightly.

Because beside her, that incredibly familiar figure, the one who had given her nightmares in past matches, caught up.

Just like how Xiaobai Zhuixue can choose to trigger her skill by being blocked in a certain position…· k

Even a flyer on the grass can do this!

【(Domain Precision): When you are behind on the final straight and successfully overtake, you will use a final sprint to increase your speed.】

[(Exclusive - Unwavering Fighting Spirit): When positioned in the middle or lower echelons, acceleration is increased, and vision becomes slightly wider.]

Her core skill, which is retained in her dash straight line, still focuses on accelerating with her last foot.

With a few deft moves, Grasshopper surpassed all the other inferior horses and leading racehorses.

On the huge straight track of the stadium.

It turned out that... Xiao Bai was galloping at the very front; while Te Bie Zhou and Cao Shang Fei were almost side by side behind, about a horse's length, accelerating to catch up.

The other female racehorses are further back.

The final battle to the death has begun!

"Is this... what they call a 'domain'?"

"Such momentum and the increase in speed are truly impressive."

"Even though he wasn't at his peak, the speed he released at the end of his stride was stronger than when I was fully controlling it."

At the very front, the snow-white-clad girl was extremely focused.

In the corner of her eye, she could see that the gap was not large and that she could gradually close the gap with him.

The straight line of spikes has been reduced from the initial 300 meters to less than 200 meters!

"In that case, let's show the seniors that juniors without expertise should not be underestimated!"

When it comes to core strengths, her unique skills naturally fall short of her domain.

But that doesn't mean you only have one card to play!

According to Xiaobai Zhuixue!

Even that guy with the big red hair managed to maintain an undefeated record until the end of the year after making the promise.

They won the Breeders' Cup Classic, the most important race of the year in the United States, a race comparable to the Arc de Triomphe.

If I were to lose to a veteran horse girl who is not in good form and whose performance is not as good as usual, even if she has her own strengths, I would still lose.

So, in the future, how can one seek revenge and defeat a late-blooming star who still has room for growth?
