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

Her smile turned to mockery, her dazed eyes gleamed with a deep, dark intensity, and her aura gradually began to solidify—

Running behind the Noble Clan, the two pursuers, Ling Amazon and Golden Ship, simultaneously noticed that a dark aura was beginning to emanate from the Noble Clan's body, gradually spreading outwards.

(Just a novice runner, yet he dares to use such tactics in front of us French athletes. Let Zove play with him for now.)

(Enjoy the competition right now, newbie—)

(—Before I actually start doing anything!)

[Zhuo Fu caught up! Zhuo Fu chased after the two runners in the escape team!]

[She's so fast! Although I still don't understand what just happened, Zhuo Fu is closing the distance at almost the speed of a final sprint!]

Seemingly to make up for his earlier embarrassment at being speechless, the host now shouted even louder and more passionately into the microphone:

[Is it really okay to start a chase and escape in a place like this?! Is there really no problem with this decision?]

[Oh no! The two runners ahead seem to have noticed the pursuer. What should we do? Block her? Disrupt her rhythm?]

Even Bourbon sensed the approaching presence behind him.

Miura, who was running second in the group, took the lead and started moving. She first silently glanced back at the person who came, and then increased the frequency of her strides.

After maintaining this speed, Bourbon slightly shifted his position, leaving behind the Stardust Illusion, and used his body to block Zofu's runway.

However, Bourbon did not intend to completely stop Zof's advance on its own, as it had done with the Maginot Line before.

However, by simply slowing down Zhuo Fu for a few moments, forcing her to slow down, one can disrupt her rhythm and maintain the advantage one currently holds on the track.

For her, all she needed to do was calculate Zhuo Fu's current path and then block a small portion of the most correct route.

However, is it really that simple?

Chapter 84 An Unequal Sport by Nature

(No wonder she's a racehorse girl who can team up with Stardust Illusion.)

Zhuo Fu looked at the runner with reddish-brown hair in front of her, who turned slightly and blocked her way, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Location awareness.

She knew this was a very important subject in running, but Zhuo Fu, who had never formally enrolled in school, didn't really understand it.

At most, I've heard snippets of information from my friend Cai Zhigao and other older sisters in other teams.

Even though she didn't know much, she could tell that Miura, who was running ahead of her, was using this positional awareness to block most of the track ahead of her.

At this moment, the distance between the two was less than two horse lengths.

More importantly, given the speed difference between Zoe and Bourbon, if Zoe doesn't choose to slow down, she will crash directly into Bourbon's back in at most one second.

What should I do?

Zhuo Fu did not think about this question.

In terms of positional awareness, she simply cannot compete with intellectual players like Jacques or Bourbon.

However, she was not without a solution.

Even at the French Academy, when training with professional athletes, there were always people who would use this tactic to hinder Zofu's sprint route.

Not to mention, when the training grounds were unavailable, Zoe Fu could only run directly on the streets of Paris.

In that kind of environment, let alone being blocked by one person, she had experienced countless times even in complex environments with many people coming and going.

So, how did she deal with it?

The answer is very simple.

Looking at Bourbon ahead, Zhuo Fu narrowed her eyes slightly.

(It's about time... we can start taking action.)

She took a deep breath, then suddenly held it!

The light pink-clad runner showed no intention of slowing down, maintaining her top speed as she charged straight at Bourbon's silhouette!

----------

"Is it coming again?!"

Standing on the stands, the man next to Dancing City immediately focused his attention, keeping a close eye on the runners rushing towards the Mepu Beach.

Just as Zhuo Fu suddenly passed through the three people blocking his way, the man, caught off guard, didn't see her clearly at all.

But he also understood that it was absolutely impossible for him to have actually passed through someone, so there must have been some unique running method.

At that moment, seeing Zhuo Fu charging headlong at Bo Bang without flinching, the man immediately understood that she was definitely going to use that technique again—

"Let me take a good look at her and see what's really going on!!!"

For some inexplicable reason, this man with a wealth of professional knowledge was suddenly filled with fighting spirit, determined to figure out the running technique before him that seemed like a divine skill.

Meanwhile, beside him, Dancing City and Opera had reconciled because everyone had just prayed together for the Stardust Illusion.

The two of them were holding hands, watching the game intently.

[She's here!!!] Like an arrow released from a bow, Zhuo Fu instantly arrived behind Meipu Bourbon, and now it was a one-on-one fight!

Two small and one large—at that moment, all three people's attention was drawn to those two.

Two seconds have passed...

Behind Bourbon, Zoe, who was already very close, suddenly vanished without a trace.

Two seconds have passed...

The pink figure had already crossed the Mipu Bourbon and arrived behind the Stardust Illusion!

[She's broken through!? The result of this battle is that Zofu has broken through the barrier of Miura Bourbon, and now only the final Stardust Illusion remains in front of her!]

"How is this possible..." the man muttered to himself, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"At that speed, how could she... possibly still manage to circle around Bourbon's blind spot and get ahead..."

"Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?!"

"Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!"

Dancing City's hands, tightly gripping the opera, were already sweating.

She nervously repeated those three words over and over, her eyes almost closed, afraid of witnessing the scene where the Stardust Illusion she admired would be surpassed in one fell swoop.

"Impossible! Stardust Illusion, she definitely has a way! Because she will become the strongest runner in all of Japan!"

She was equally nervous during the opera, but even though she couldn't see exactly what was so outrageous about that running style, she didn't show a hint of doubt.

In her view, no matter what the situation, the Stardust Phantom can always be overcome by the will to win, and that is the kind of runner she admires!

Although he knew it was just a little girl who said those words, the man standing to the side was still preoccupied with the scene he had just witnessed, and subconsciously retorted:

"You're too naive..."

"The strongest runner in Japan, weren't there any runners like that before Stardust Illusion?"

"Rudolph Symbol, Sirius Symbol, Eagle Symbol, Golden Master... Each of them represents the highest level in the world of Japanese horse racing, but none of them has ever won the Arc de Triomphe."

"Even runners like the 'Great Tree Express,' who are revered as the King of Miles, have only dominated foreign mile races, but have yet to achieve anything in the truly popular middle- and long-distance races..."

This man has been following the major races of Uma Musume for a long time, which is why he has learned so much about it and even become a professional in the field.

However, it is precisely because of this understanding that he was able to see... to see the gap between the players in this competition.

"None of those strong women who won the championship at the Arc de Triomphe to prove their strength came from the Japanese horse racing world. Even Hai Du, who was born in Japan, was only raised in Hong Kong from a young age."

"Even so, Haidu City only won the G1 championship with the Arc de Triomphe, which does not prove her bloodline strength at all."

At this point, he turned to look at the two little girls in front of him. They were staring at him blankly, seemingly not quite understanding what he was saying.

The man looked dejected. He didn't want to admit this conclusion, much less discuss it with the two little girls who were still full of longing for the race.

But reality, time and again, is the biggest shock.

If their unrealistic fantasies aren't dispelled here, they might completely lose their ideals when they see that Stardust Illusion is no match for French runners like Zoe and the Noble Family at the end of the race.

Helping them understand how to set their own goals is also a necessary step...

Thinking of this, the man continued, "Horse racing women are inherently unequal."

"Even with all his hard work, Miura Bourbon couldn't defeat the Stardust Illusion, could he?"

"And these French runners are an insurmountable wall; this is the true Maginot Line!"

"That kind of weightless running technique, which seems to defy the common sense of physics, can be used with ease."

"The Japanese horse racing ladies have no way to compete with such a French genius..."

Chapter 85 The game has ended.

"Ooooooo!!!"

"Zhuofu!!!"

"She's so beautiful! And she runs so fast! So amazing!!"

"That dribbling move! Was it really not magic!?"

"Charge! Catch up with Stardust Illusion in one go and become number one!!!"

On the racetrack, not every spectator felt the same way the man had just witnessed, reminding them of the gap between Japanese and French horse racing.

Most of these spectators were simply enjoying the game.

At this moment, we see this runner named Zhuo Fu advancing triumphantly, passing through 10 people from the third-to-last position and arriving in the second place in one go.

Furthermore, her visually striking and exceptional skills were so stunning that everyone began to doubt their own eyes.

Although she didn't start her run from behind, the combination of these factors means that Zhuo Fu's running has completely ignited everyone's enthusiasm.

At this moment, the arena was filled with the spontaneous cheers and shouts of encouragement from the audience.
