Uma Musume Girl, I'll tell you about my Santa Hat special move too?

A stream of clear water instantly flowed into the Stardust Phantom's body, completely merging the four of them and moving forward in sync with the Stardust Phantom's movements.

In an instant, the stardust phantoms on his body erupted into a domain, instantly shattering the entire deep-sea arena that had been enveloped in it.

(Little hat tumbling, super torrent, let's fucking move forward together!)

[Victory cheer skill... activated!]

Because it required activating several revolving magic combinations, even those skilled in synchronizing stardust illusions couldn't do it before any signs of it appeared.

Both Haidu Star and the remaining horse girls noticed the movement of the stardust illusion.

But none of them were able to respond effectively.

Because in the next second, the summoning power of the Stardust Illusion was no longer something they could withstand on the competition stage! Boom—!

The air was completely torn apart by this violent acceleration, and the sound barrier only stabilized for a moment before being completely shattered by the stardust illusion.

Transcending sound, even transforming into a gentle, flowing magic, the Stardust Illusion screamed on the arena, unleashing its power with abandon.

Now, anyone who sees her can only marvel at how captivating she is; no one can look away from her.

In Japan, many of Zeng Jingxiao's fans were also following the match. But seeing the sudden burst of the Stardust Illusion...

Her unusually tilted posture, in particular, brought tears to the eyes of the onlookers.

"This, this is Zeng Jingxiao's hat-flipping running style!"

"She really is the second generation of Little Hat-Switch, Little Hat-Switch... the stardust phantom on her body has come back to life!!!"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Hahahaha!!!"

The monster on her left side was in excruciating pain, and behind her, even the domain that had been directly shattered, Hai Du Xing Chen, was teetering on the verge of collapse, unable to compete with her for the domain's movement technique any longer.

On the racetrack, Long Shanghe had completely formed a solitary, stardust-like phantom.

Those were rampaging monsters, arrogant and domineering overlords!

Now that Haidu Star has been defeated, Zoff and Justice show no intention of making a move. No one can get even a hair's breadth closer to Stardust Illusion. They can only watch helplessly as she charges forward, widening the gap between them and Ma Niang to a point of despair!

--------

[Ahhh! Stardust Illusion is starting to unleash its power! It usually outperforms her on straightaways, but today, on the second bend, it suddenly bursts forth with such astonishing speed!]

[Sea Capital Star! Can Sea Capital Star catch up?! No! Sea Capital Star's speed is starting to slow down, Sea Capital Star, Sea Capital Star is being left behind!!!]

[Stardust Illusion, the Great Escape! The distance between her and the second-place Haidu Star keeps widening, three horses, four horses, five horses—]

[Without a doubt! Stardust Realm, who dominated the French G1 tournament for three months... this reigning champion's dominance was actually displayed at the Arc de Triomphe awards ceremony!]

In the live broadcast room, the host quickly recounted the match schedule, even though she firmly supported Zhuo Fubentu.

As a commentator in the arena, the key to maintaining the perfect balance is to take advantage of the moment when the Stardust Illusion activates its peerless warhorse.

He didn't hold back, unleashing a barrage of boastful words like a machine gun.

[With unstoppable momentum, she leads the way! No one can stop her escape from the Stardust Illusion! This pace is perfect! Before she even stabilized her planned speed, she had already widened the gap between herself and the horse-girl group behind her by eight horses!!!]

The commentator's intense emotions ignited the entire arena, and everyone's attention was firmly drawn to the figure wielding thunder and wind.

With less than a third of the competition completed, the gap between the eight horses on the stage was already dazzling. Even the audience who didn't originally support Stardust Illusion couldn't help but cheer excitedly in this atmosphere.

The enthusiastic atmosphere gradually rose, pushing the entire competition into a new stage.

At Longshang Racecourse, some VIPs were still watching the race, while Manecoma seemed quite excited.

Her skills and physical body have all reached their peak, and the combination of the three can only be activated, making it the ultimate technique of the horse girl.

This makes sense. When the domain was activated, Ma Niang already displayed 200% of her potential, maintaining maximum focus and sprinting at top speed throughout. Given this, Haidu Star selected its strongest individuals.

"It can be said that each horse girl comes from her own region, and they are all proud top experts."

Homa surveyed the arena and said softly:

"Under these circumstances, they now face the most direct and brutal arena battles."

"That makes sense; of course, there will be 17 losers among the eighteen prodigies..."

"So, what do you want?"

"To claim the prize at the Arc de Triomphe, one must possess an incredibly strong heart... If one can achieve this, even in the face of temporary setbacks, one will never give up, willing to be crushed to pieces, in order to fight for that small victory."

Mane's eyes held a profound meaning, as if he were looking into the depths of his memory.

That's the scene of the Battle of the Arc de Triomphe, and also the moment when every world-class equestrian girl is born.

"With all our might—" "Give it our all, go all in—"

"Absolutely giving it your all—" "This is the final test that anyone who wants to become the strongest Uma Musume Girls must face!"

"Now that Stardust Illusion has monopolized this shining star, who else will be excited enough to compete with her for this top-tier star?"

--------

The powerful Stardust Illusion's speed boost had almost no effect; it applied two speed boosts to her simultaneously. It was only because she was now nearly eleven horses ahead of second-place Zhuo Fu that she slowed down and deactivated the domain's enhancement effect.

"Huff... huff"

......"

Her breathing wasn't too heavy, and Stardust Illusion's movements weren't significantly affected. Unlike usual, when she unleashed her domain and found herself helpless, she had only acted after repelling Sea Capital Star and establishing a sufficient advantage.

She chose to use the Dispel Domain to enhance her strength. Her legs remained powerful as she stepped onto the incredibly soft grass. A smile appeared on Stardust Illusion's lips, her entire face radiating contentment. The direct confrontation with Haidu Star had completely exhausted the pleasure that belonged to the horse girl.

At that moment, it felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of ice water.

I was filled with excitement.

(Zoff and Justice aren't choosing to compete with me for the lead either, and even Mintamon is only going to push hard in the second half of the race...)

Stardust Illusion continues its vigorous stride, leading the race alone at the very front.

The entire match is now divided into two parts: Stardust Realm and the Uma Musume group behind it.

Stardust Illusion was not blinded by the terrifying gap between the eleven horses before it, thinking that it had already dominated the race and had victory in its grasp early on.

Just like Zeff's Stardust Strategy, Stardust also understands what kind of horse girl Zeff is. Even if there are eleven horses between them now, Zeff will definitely use his amazing weightless running skills to get to her side.

The bounty on the Arc de Triomphe was originally a battlefield that Stardust Illusion and Zeff had agreed upon long ago, and what she was most looking forward to was naturally the final battle with Zeff.

(However, even if she or justice can catch up to me in half a territory, it doesn't mean we should give up our huge advantage.)

Stardust Phantom's crimson eyes gleamed with confidence, tinged with the same bloodlust. At the same time, the match finally reached the second fork in the road. Stardust Phantom stepped onto this fork, becoming the first to charge into the symbolic competition.

The second straight line!

[The race has entered the second straight! Stardust Illusion is still in the lead, her acceleration has finally come to a halt, and at this moment, this runaway horse maintains a terrifying lead of ten horse lengths! This is truly rare at the Arc de Triomphe in the past ten years, it's incredibly powerful!]

[Next up is contestant Zoff! In this race, Zoff has chosen to start on the running route, while Sea City Star Belt, who was originally vying for a starting position with Stardust Illusion, has now fallen to third place, running on the inside of the track behind Zoff...]

As the race progressed into the second 800 meters, the host also brought up the current rankings.

[On the second straight, the Ma Niang team will face their first challenge in front of the Arc de Triomphe: a 10-meter uphill section!]

Although this slope isn't the steepest, its 400-meter length is still a test of endurance for every female horse—the ability to manage their energy effectively is crucial, as we'll discuss next!

From the stands, Shenying also noticed the problem mentioned by the host.

Because she had personally experienced the post-race retraining process, she understood even more how important the hill the host was talking about was for the regular season. This hill wasn't particularly steep, and it happened to be roughly the same height as the second straight.

For most horse girls, the Stardust Phantom instantly changed its running posture, its body slightly raised, maintaining a slightly forward-leaning center of gravity. This was precisely the running motion that Ines Wind God had emphasized in her notes, the most suitable for running uphill.

Stardust Phantom firmly believes that her body contains infinite potential.

That's through two or three escape skills practice sessions a day, ingraining all the techniques into one's very being and recording powerful instincts.

(Four times a day practicing at Bapo... That guy's name is He Sun, and now she's getting a little smug.)

(—Look at me, I've covered all the uphill running techniques!)

With this instantaneous thought as the basis for decision, Stardust Phantom's foot suddenly slammed onto the ground.

The Frenchman, Long Shang, was also in the stables. The originally soft turf track was instantly crushed into deep gullies.

Originally, because the domain ended, the Avenue of Stars seemed to have reappeared in front of her, that straight and merciless running road.

The scenery made Stardust Illusion's legs even stronger.

He kicked the shin hard and stomped his foot—!

Ines the Wind Goddess, Green Bamboo Reminiscence, has completed the four seasons!

The three horse-woman illusions once again shot out from the reflection in the clear water and into her line of sight.

The skills these three people had displayed before the Stardust Illusion, combined with her years of training on steep slopes, gradually synchronized, awakening the true power of this body—her heart suddenly shot out, blood gushing forth in the violent impact.

It suddenly flowed into every vein in his limbs. The rapid burst of energy even caused many capillaries to rupture. This caused Stardust Illusion's entire face and exposed arms to turn an unusual dark red.

The heat generated from running caused all the sweat on her body to evaporate into gusts of air.

The horse girl was completely enveloped in this scorching red aura! [Sister Rainbow Bee's skill activated.] [Golden]

[Powerful skill horse girl, activated.]

(The second phase of the battle begins...)

[A prodigy with extraordinary skills in mountainous terrain, now activated!]

------

A fierce aura swept over us, instantly engulfing the entire Qi Flame Arena.

Although the domain has not reopened, the phantom stardust emanating its aura at this moment makes it difficult for any opponent to let their guard down.

"—?!"

The newly awakened Star of the Sea City is now staring wide-eyed and with its mouth agape at the phantom stardust in front of it.

The horse girl running at the front was now enveloped in a crimson aura, as if her whole body was burning with flames.

But more importantly, on this uphill slope of Stardust Phantom, instead of slowing down, it began to distance itself from Zoff again?!

This, this is impossible!

The Sea City Elf stared in astonishment at the phantom of stardust running along the mountainside. Each step she took caused a roar as if the earth were collapsing... She was the most proficient in all kinds of running techniques, and now that she had left the center of the battlefield, she could see more clearly that this was the footwork of the Stardust Illusion Technique.

At that moment, Haiduxing made a judgment almost instantly.
