For horse racers, making money is victory!

-----.-

The third bend, about halfway through.

Xiaobai Zhuixue overtook another racehorse girl who had already taken the lead.

Her delicate face was unusually no longer relaxed and calm.

Instead... she slightly bit her lip and continued to stare intently at Narita, the blonde girl at the very front of the vanguard group.

The effect from [(Legendary Bad Demon)] is almost at its limit.

Ultimately, even the most outstanding legendary skill is still just a legendary skill; it is not the highest-level exclusive skill.

Even if you own a regular female racehorse, it would be difficult for her to ride well on the inner track. Adaptability to Shigebaba does not mean you can do whatever you want.

After all, this is just a "demon of the bad side of the street," not a demon of Shigebaba!

She combined her excellent inner training experience from her dreams with the determination and resolve to keep going, and gritted her teeth to get to where she is now.

However, the extra physical exertion was also quite astonishing.

Naritaji's performance, which was flawless and perfectly suited to Shigebaba, was indeed outstanding, making him a formidable opponent that must be guarded against.

The even more terrifying monster, the overlord of the end of the century, kept his horse behind him and kept a close eye on what was ahead, which must have allowed him to conserve his energy.

"We're almost at the last ramp."

"We must have a sufficient lead, otherwise it will be difficult to resist the advance of the overlord!"

The poor gate conditions, combined with the heavy horse track, caused Xiaobai Zhuixue to expend a lot of energy, but her red eyes still shone brightly.

Another female racehorse ahead was swallowed up by the snow-white figure.

Until only Tao Ma and Narita-ji remained!

The final slope had arrived, and they stepped onto it together with Xiaobai and Zhuixue.

"They arrived so quickly?"

Naritaji's eyes showed surprise, but his quick thinking was replaced by extreme fighting spirit.

She would never underestimate a battle-hardened genius who could win ten out of ten battles!

They can even run on the inner track, and they accelerated to such a high ranking early on. They truly live up to their reputation.

But she won't give up!

[(Legendary obsession with victory): When approached by an opponent, the speed increases, and the acceleration increases slightly.]

[(Sprint Hero): ...]

Knowing that she was no match for Naritaji, who was behind and chasing, and not wanting to completely lose her advantage, she used all the skills she had learned.

The speed was immediately improved further.

The climb up the slope finally came to an end.

The moment Narita Roma completely crossed the slope, he overtook the fleeing horse and took the lead with both feet on the sprint line.

But not far away, a snow-white-clad girl rushed across the slope, her face flashing with determination.

"The old man, Aunt Penny, and Big Red..."

"Just you wait and see! I won't lose!"

The next instant, Xiao Bai Zhui Xue used the rest of his skills.

[(Legendary Good Field Demon): Gains proficiency in "Good" fields, and increases strength and speed.]

[(Straight-line agility): Slightly increases speed when traveling in a straight line.]

Although she couldn't achieve the effects of her expertise in horse racing, the increase in strength and speed suddenly propelled her to a new level.

The already extremely fast speed appeared even faster on this short, straight section of only 300 meters.

After easily overtaking the fleeing horse, they began to gradually catch up and close the gap with Narita-ro!

Xiao Bai is coming to chase snow?!

It still gallops in with unbridled arrogance on the most treacherous and challenging muddy inner path, where no one dares to challenge it and which tests the overall strength of Saima Girl!

Narita reacted incredibly quickly, realizing that even with his full power, he couldn't shake off Yoshiro Chaseyuki, and instead, she was getting closer and closer into his field of vision...

She gritted her teeth and suddenly took a step forward, choosing to roar recklessly, doing everything she could to maintain her lead.

But... that's not enough!

Regardless of the ever-approaching Xiaobai chasing the snow.

Unbeknownst to many, it surpassed most of the leading racehorses and crossed the ramp to reach the final straight line of the Century's Last King Good Opera.

y

Their speed, as the last of the trailing and chasing horses, was faster than Naritaji, who had been leading the way with a fast pace but lacked firepower at the back!

...

[The competition has entered a fierce stage; the sprint-line showdown has begun!]

[She was in first place on Narita Road, but her lead is getting smaller and smaller!]

[Xiao Bai Zhui Xue is in second place, while Good Opera has just surpassed Yuan Tao Ma to take third place.]

It appears to have evolved into a three-way battle, with the trend of increasing efficiency seemingly reversed.

[Is the third-ranked Good Opera, with its abundant energy and fastest acceleration, about to fall behind Narita-ji, who was at the forefront?]

[With a third of the match already completed, who will emerge victorious?]

The commentator's voice grew increasingly high-pitched as he reported on the final battle.

And in the great opera of today, her cape flutters wildly as she races at breakneck speed, like a sublime king ascending the stage.

"Come on, the time has come to witness the king's demeanor!"

"Narita Road, Yoru Shiro Chasing Snow, you can't escape!"

That extremely bright and cheerful smile appeared on the face of the bald-haired girl wearing a crown.

Good Opera, who had used other skills to speed up the ascent, was now unleashing her true power.

[Legendary Fighting Spirit: After reaching the final bend, acceleration and power are greatly enhanced.]

[(Legendary speed as a gust of wind): When accelerating in a straight line, acceleration and speed increase slightly.]

She already possesses the potential to not only reach the pinnacle of her generation but also challenge the historical level of dominance. Furthermore, she is precocious and has already mastered multiple legendary skills!

Her footsteps, her acceleration, were like an arrow released from a bow, visibly closing the distance with Xiaobai Zhuixue and Naritaji ahead of her with a performance that was unparalleled on the field.

This is... the Last Tyrant of the Century!!

Xiaobai Zhuixue is still gritting her teeth and persevering. She is about to overtake Naritaji, but her speed still seems to be slightly slower than Haogeju.

Narita, having given it her all, was nearing the halfway point of the sprint straight when she had burned out her last bit of fuel, and could only watch helplessly as the snow-white-clad girl completely reached her.

l.

Then, cross over!

Come on, this is the final battle to the death!

[A three-way battle for the championship! Yukishiro has overtaken Naritaji to temporarily take first place.]

[And with Good Opera about to be ranked alongside Narita-ji, her central strength has actually increased rather than decreased at the Shigeojo race! What outstanding stamina, what brilliant finishing touches!]

[In the end, is it going to become a situation where good songs dominate and Xiaobai and Xue defend?]

[The final one-on-one duel is about to begin!]

As the commentator revealed the crucial moment, the nearly 100,000 spectators erupted in excited, expectant, or worried discussions.

"To witness such powerful warriors fight up close is worth the price of admission, even if it means dying!"

"What an intense match!"

"I thought the 'Chasing Snow' competition was over and it would be a showdown between Narita Road and Good Opera. I didn't expect it to be a life-or-death battle between 'Chasing Snow' and Good Opera?"

"Oh no, it seems like Miss Oiyuki can't go any faster, has she reached her limit... Good Opera will catch up with Naritaji soon, and then it will be Miss Oiyuki's turn!"

On the boundless, vast, and heavy grassland.

Under a dark sky filled with thick clouds.

The red and white shrine maiden's long hair, tied in a high ponytail, was billowing rapidly along with the hem of her dress.

Her delicate profile was no longer composed; instead, her breathing became heavier due to the strain from her legs and the fatigue from her body.

Since arriving at Treson Academy, she hadn't felt the feeling of reaching the ultimate for a long time, and it seemed to be reaching her heart.

In the afterglow of Xiaobai Zhuixue's vision, a magnificent opera in the distance was approaching with a regal air.

They might be caught up and suffer a narrow defeat, or they might hold on and win by a hair's breadth; anything is possible.

But Xiao Bai was risk-averse; she didn't want to lose, and she was even afraid of narrowly winning.

Because her family is watching over her.

"I want to win! I want to win more and faster!"

Her extreme resentment seemed to transform into the sound of drums, vibrating in her heart.

Everything from the past is flashing before my eyes in an instant.

A kind old man in his hospital bed.

Aunt Penny, with her gentle smile.

The expressionless arch-nemesis, Da Hong.

And then... in my dreams, I'm fighting against many powerful opponents.

Each scene flashed by in an instant. Xiao Bai Zhui Xue, unwilling to lose everything, had no intention of backing down even a little, and would never accept that the victory that was within reach would be taken away by someone else.

Then she looked straight ahead.

"Let's settle this once and for all, Overlord!"

As if a certain shackle had been completely broken, a terrifying aura emanated from the red and white shrine maiden.

[Special Feature: King of Battles]: Significantly increases dominance, slightly increases power, explosiveness, and acceleration, and slightly absorbs the stamina of all racehorses for itself. Each consecutive win...

Reward matches increase effect by 3%, with no upper limit. Resets to zero when winning streak is broken.

[Note: Currently on a nine-game winning streak in high-reward matches, representing a 27% increase]

It's not a regular skill, nor is it a legendary skill.

It is a unique and exclusive skill belonging solely to Xiaobai Zhuixue, surpassing the status of [(Bad Demon)] and comparable to [(Kelso's Body)]!

That is the final pass required on the road to the highest realm!

Even the so-called geniuses, who might only be able to master the highest level of professional skills at the end of a classic year or even the Year of the Horse, were inspired and mastered by Xiaobai Zhui Xue!

Originating from Xiaobai Zhui Xue's aura, it seemed to completely fixate on him and transform into a powerful pressure, about to cover the vast arena.

Even the best operas were overwhelmed by that indescribable, sudden momentum, and her almost terrifying acceleration was momentarily halted.

What was even more unbelievable to this overlord was that Xiao Bai Zhui Xue, who had clearly used up all his trump cards and gone all out, once again showed the same relaxed attitude as when he accelerated during his debut battle.

The next moment—!

The gap, which was originally only half a horse's length, is no longer narrowing.

No, no, that's not right!

To be precise, it's being pulled apart again?!

The flying dance steps from Xiaobai Zhui Xue continued to accelerate, demonstrating what "double acceleration" means!

One horse body!

A half-horse!

That gap, with more than half of the spikes already in play, continued to widen with lightning speed.

Good Opera gritted her teeth and desperately chased after her, but under that absolute pressure, and facing the gap of Xiao Bai's second-stage acceleration, she completely squandered her chance to overtake, and could only gaze at that snow-covered figure from afar.

The white sailor launched its final charge toward the finish line, which was now just inches away.
