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

Upon reaching the other side, Zhuo Fu immediately felt the terror of this power. No matter how she crossed, she couldn't outrun it, but now, this power seemed to have been recorded. With just a slight movement of her feet, she completely broke through her speed limits. Faced with such immense power, unable to even judge the true strength beyond her limits, she was deeply captivated by Zhuo Fu from her first encounter… Then, she suddenly felt fear. Zhuo Fu was afraid. If her strength was so great, she wouldn't lose in any competition—then, who should she continue to fight? As a horse girl, Zhuo Fu could only improve by fighting opponents of equal caliber. But having reached that other side, possessing such strength, Zhuo Fu suddenly discovered that such opponents were even harder to find than before. In that instant, Zhuo Fu, having understood her true self, suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness. It was like standing on the opposite bank of a river, quietly watching the other side and the horse girls struggling. (Is this… the true meaning of "that other side"?) Once she crossed…

There's no going back.

Feeling this loneliness, Zhuo Fu felt a deep sense of fear.

That's why she instinctively called out that person's name just now. If there really was someone who could create miracles, moving back and forth beside her, running alongside her all the way—that might just be a stardust illusion.

She looked forward to it, waiting for the girl she had so carefully arranged to unleash that miraculous power once again, so that she could experience that feeling of competing against each other again... However, she didn't have time to think about these things.

Because at that moment, the Sea Star Spirit erupted, and she encountered something that could reignite her passion—one step, two steps, three steps.

Zhuo Fu's eyes were somewhat confused, but her body still instinctively rushed forward, walking quickly.

But the next moment, the previously confused French flower regained her senses, her eyes gradually becoming firm, and she resolutely refused from the bottom of her heart... No, this is not the opponent I am looking for.

The opponent I seek is anything that can rival me.

Showing a truly unimaginable miracle, I will win no matter what! On Haidu Star, Zhuo Fu truly saw the possibility of her own defeat.

But... that's still far from enough!

Even Zhuo Fu couldn't beat someone of this caliber, so how could it compare to... the miracle of the Stardust Illusion!

Thinking of this, Zhuo Fu smiled slightly, but suddenly her gaze turned stern. A resolute glint flashed in her eyes, which were shrouded in deep darkness. Boom—!

A thunderous roar exploded beneath Haidu Star's feet.

With the girl unleashing her full power, the stars shattered as she climbed to the next peak, allowing her to summon entirely new power at will!

The white light shone brightly in the deep sea-covered area, while the deep blue light surged like a shooting star, instantly erasing the gap between her and Zoff.

Is this the true strength of Haidu Star?

If they were to exert all their strength now, even if they managed to break through temporarily, they would only face failure... The orange-haired girl squinted, her face still completely black, her features unrecognizable.

(Unfortunately, my current strength isn't my true full power yet!)

(This is terrifying, capable of destroying everything beneath the deep sea, but you haven't yet made me feel like I can't win!)

As for Zoff, as long as he can still figure out a way to win...

Then he already has a 100% chance of winning!

The girl also gently tiptoed, as if she were taking flight.

It rises from the ground into the sky.

Although she showed absolutely no strength or fighting spirit, this seemed like an illusion to ordinary people, yet it gave Hai Duxing an unprecedented and intense shock!

The earth shook violently; the shattered grass trembled and rumbled, and even a terrifying vortex appeared in the dark, cloud-covered sky—

"Come here! Zoff! If you can abandon me, then try it—!!!"

Haidu Xing burst into laughter, his voice filled with joy, and his heart was surging with intense happiness.

They had finally arrived, and she and Zoff had both chosen this place to settle their score—the bounty on the Arc de Triomphe was the final showdown!

Without needing to think further, the two could clearly see that they had made the same judgment simply by observing the other's aura gradually dissipating due to the opponent's strength.

Victory is within reach, and whoever it is... must seize it! Whew—!

The magical footsteps almost disappeared before their eyes, and Zoff had already transformed into a figure fluttering in the wind.

With a pure and transcendent air, the girl exerted all her strength, moving her most prized legs, to chase after...

Zoff's steps were closely linked with his opponent's, inseparable—the arena, which stretched across the air, was filled with the continuous explosions caused by the fierce clash between the two.

Two figures, one in green and one in black, streaked across the sky like shooting stars, tearing through the arena. Everything around them paled in comparison, and all eyes were fixed on them!

----------

[Just as he gained the upper hand and reached Zoff, Haidu Star immediately overtook him again. The two were running almost parallel, creating a classic one-on-one battle situation in that instant!!!]

[Whether it's Zeff or Haidu Star! The strength they displayed in this final was simply too formidable! This is definitely a world-class horse girl, capable of performing at such a level!]

[The Arc de Triomphe instantly rewards participants, but at the same time, two world-class figures emerge. Who will ultimately claim victory in this competition? Or perhaps, who else can become a match for these two horse girls?!]

Normally, as a host, he wouldn't say something like "Victory is a battle between two people."

After all, such words would not only make the off-field supporters of these two men frown. More importantly, in a competition already full of surprises, if a new force were to emerge and strike first, he would lose face.

However, attention was drawn to the battle between Zoff and Haidu Star in the middle of the century, and even the host, who had nearly twenty years of experience, couldn't help but say something smug.

Although he immediately refuted it, his somewhat irresponsible remarks were ultimately heard by the entire audience. However, after his explanation resounded throughout the venue, few people strongly objected.

In fact, both the audience and the host who just said that statement were already certain of one fact: things had developed to this point, and the final battle would take place between Zoff and Kaito Shizuka, as these two horse girls had reached a world-class level.

Once the battle begins,

As for the other participants...

They only have a theoretical chance of winning now.

This is a brutal difference in class between world-class and non-world-class levels.

"Stardust, she's like me, in these final moments...!"

The eagle standing next to Hongshanzhuang had a tear welling up in its eyes.

It wasn't that she didn't want to believe that Stardust Illusion could continue its exciting journey, nor was it that she was afraid to see the final scene of the next match.

From the start of the competition until just now, although the opponents and situations on the competition stage were very different, the general situation was similar, which reminded Shenying of his nightmare.

In that Arc de Triomphe reward, she displayed strength beyond the limit, almost stepping into the realm called Shattered Stars in just half a step.

The opponent—Shattered Star itself—looked at the race before it, realizing it had no power to fight back.

The shattered stars are not a fake crushing force of stars; you can still see specks of starlight.

However, Stardust Illusion gradually became unable to enter that realm, and ended up on the same orbit as Zoff and Haidu Star!

"What exactly happened?! I explained it to her in detail when I realized what had happened!"

"Stardust should know that only by eliminating distracting thoughts and awakening one's true self can one step into that impossible realm—"

Worried, extremely worried. But no matter how worried the Divine Eagle was, it couldn't affect the final state on the dueling platform.

The competition continued for just a short while!

----------

"Moon Lake..."

As the pressure continued to increase, Stardust Illusion gasped for breath, exhaling a large breath of stale air.

The illusory stardust had been watching the two people in front of it from the very beginning, carefully observing their every move and engraving it in its heart.

At this moment, even with her strong legs, she couldn't avoid being forcibly locked in place, and her speed decreased accordingly. At the same time, Hai Du Chi Jing and Zhuo Fu also unleashed their power.

...about two!

Although she belongs to the Shattered Star of Zoff, even the inner essence within her will not face the remaining horse girls.

However, the advantage from the home field of Shattered Star still played hard to get in the Stardust Illusion! Every breath required all his strength to suppress his heart and lungs, his hands and feet gradually lost feeling, and even his vision began to show a trace of panic.

Clearly, Stardust Illusion was in extreme discomfort, both physically and mentally. But… it wanted to get ahead! If it wanted to seize that supreme light and become a top-tier star platform, it had to surpass this place. It absolutely had to—defeate the two before it! Taking a deep breath, it unleashed the last of its strength. Stardust Illusion gritted its teeth, its aching, numb right leg straightening and pushing off. Its previously sluggish figure instantly exploded, half a horse's body thrusting forward—its soul, body, bones, and muscles all emitted low groans. Its body, previously suppressed to near its limit, frantically transmitted signals of impending collapse to its mind. Then, it carried…

The running technique is fully activated!

[The innate skill, Emperor's Ultimate Rescue Dance, has been activated!]

An extremely condensed crimson figure instantly materialized in the stardust illusion before one's eyes. This running technique didn't even require the stardust illusion or synchronization; from the moment it appeared, its movement and running style were completely identical to hers!

As I was about to leave the Stardust Illusion, I recalled the things that the Divine Eagle had repeatedly told me during the last competition.

Remember this: if you truly want to break through the Shattered Astral Plane, you must abandon the so-called Synchronization Method in order to truly understand yourself.

To break through the Shattered Astral Plane, you must dedicate yourself entirely to your own endeavors—only then can you set foot on that side!

Thinking of this, Stardust Illusion revealed an extremely disdainful smile. She wasn't looking down on the divine eagle that cared about her, but rather mocking it for actually feeling a slight ripple, awakening this memory from the depths of its heart!

(Ignore the past that has been using the same old tune, transform it into an understanding of your true self—and then enter the shattered stars.)

(Are you kidding me...)

To become stronger, you must admit that your past actions were wrong.

Then abandon harmony and choose the giant. Realize your true self, break free from your destiny... Stardust Illusion

Although she knew that these suggestions from her seniors were meant to give them real experience and to selflessly pass on their knowledge to her, she also knew that everyone present hoped she could truly become a world-class horse girl in the Arc de Triomphe bounty and win the final victory.

However, she did not want to compromise with this excuse.

Even if everyone tells you that doing this is the right thing to do, it doesn't matter.

From the day it debuted, Stardust Illusion has been in sync with the reflections of Ma Niang and the others in its mind, just as it is now, and has made progress step by step by using the special skills it has learned from them.

It can be said that every victory of Stardust Illusion is inseparable from this special ability and this effective operating method that can be naturally learned from others. No matter how difficult the circumstances, as long as the heart on the Mirror Platform remains, Stardust Illusion has never given up and will fight for that supreme glory on the competition stage.

But now, to ask her to admit that this direction is wrong, to ask her to abandon her long-held approach of doing things for the sake of strength, and to embrace the "right" way...!

(Impossible... It's the same absolutely foolproof running method, there's no way she could possibly break through the Shattered Star.)

(As long as the competition isn't over, I'll still believe in the possibility of winning.)

Stardust Phantom's right eye suddenly widened, and his fighting spirit surged instantly. The giant wave seemed to be high above, about to devour everything.

Moreover, this giant wave directly swept over the changing divine star in the sky, and finally collided violently with the aura that the Stardust Phantom had just summoned, blasting it into pieces.

"Ungrateful...!"

The Stardust Phantom, its mind disturbed once more, couldn't help but let out a scream, its teeth clenched in a loud grit...

But her movements did not waver in the slightest!

Whether in terms of physical strength or burning fighting spirit, Stardust Phantom declared that he was absolutely no weaker than any of his opponents present.

Therefore, this Water Heart Mirror is the true reliance of her Stardust Illusion! With this premise in mind…

(...I can't be weaker than those two!)

Domain, I command you to emerge. I command you to summon your strongest power!!!

Feeling the pain that is about to shatter your entire body, as if your internal organs are being violently torn apart.

"Stick, you come too!"
