I'm Ornn, and I'm about to be beaten to my knees by the Man-eating Horse Girl!

If it were a typical racehorse girl, she would probably be panicking by now, and would have no choice but to honestly confess everything.

But as they spent more time together, Xiao Li Mao gradually understood this obvious trap, and her skin became thicker; she could easily pull off simple lies.

She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head calmly and said, "I ate... no, I didn't eat!"

"Oh, so you didn't eat. It seems I misunderstood you, trainer."

"It was my fault this time. I'll buy you cake later!"

As Orn spoke, he made a gesture of throwing the branch on the ground.

The newly blossoming radiance, who was clinging to the coconut tree, immediately slid down, her mouth covered in cream, and patted Orn on the shoulder, saying, "Hmm! To err is human, to forgive divine!"

"Our benefactor! As punishment for misunderstanding us this time, we'll give you a day off!"

Orn smiled and nodded, "Okay, then let's take a day off."

Hearing Ornn speak in a familiar tone but with unfamiliar words, the newly radiant light suddenly shuddered.

She looked up at Orn's face and asked in a low voice, with disbelief, "Really?"

"real."

"We no longer need to wear boots and climb dozens of kilometers outside?"

"Really, no need."

"We don't have to go pull that damn tire anymore?"

"Really, no need."

"We...we don't need the tow truck anymore?"

"Really, no need."

Shining with newfound radiance, she felt a little scared. In the six months since she had known Orn, he had never been so easy to talk to.

Did I travel through time? Or was my benefactor brainwashed? Or have I fallen from the coconut tree and returned to the embrace of the three goddesses?

No! No matter what! This is just too scary!!

She stepped forward, grabbed Orn's hand, and said as if she were about to cry, "My benefactor! Be normal! You! Your unfamiliar appearance is scaring me!"

"I confess! I stole seven cakes! My savior! Why don't you give me a beating instead!"

Upon hearing her self-deception, Orn's kind smile vanished instantly. With a wave of his hand, the branch on the ground reappeared in his grasp.

Before the brand-new brilliance could react, it was hit on the butt by the branch!

Orn said with exasperation, "Look at you! You can't even do something as simple as stealing food properly! You haven't even wiped your face clean before saying you didn't eat anything!"

"And you, Oguri! At least Shining Glorious wiped the cream off his face, but you have so much cream on your face you could make another cake!"

"Can't we learn from Aldan and Fujimasa March? Look at them! That's the perfect way to sneak a snack!"

Ardan blushed, clasped his hands near his lower abdomen, and lowered his head shyly.

Fujimasa coughed, but still asked, puzzled, "Oun, how did you know we ate the cake too?"

Orn took out a tissue and wiped the cream off Little Chestnut Hat's face. He smiled slightly and said mysteriously, "Hmph, I not only know you stole some, but I also know how much you stole."

"Oguri ate seventeen, Glorious ate seven, Aldan ate ten, and March ate three, right?"

Fujimasa blinked, watching Ornn continue wiping his newly radiant face while complaining. She still couldn't understand how Ornn knew exactly how many cakes they had eaten.

The newly radiant figure watched Ornn disappear behind the distant building from a ten-meter-high coconut tree. There were no surveillance cameras or surveillance cameras here. How did he know?

"Hmm... My benefactor! You won't go back on your promise, will you?"

Orn glanced at the brand-new Radiance, and then heard her shamelessly continue, "It's your promise not to go running and not to pull tires!"

"No matter what! That was something you promised, wasn't it! My benefactor! Once you've given your word, even four horse girls can't catch up with you!"

Orn smiled and said, "Of course, I will certainly keep my promise."

Before the newfound glory could even begin to cheer, Ornn continued, "However, even though we're not running, pulling tires, or towing, it doesn't mean we're not training, does it?"

Brand New Glory: "?"

Ornn took out a new pair of riding boots from his training bag and put them on before heading straight for the beach.

The members of Dolan's team quickly followed, with the leader, New Radiance, asking, "Benefactor, you...you don't mean we have to swim in these things, do you?"

"If seawater gets into your shoes and you have to wear them all day, only to have the seawater and sweat evaporate from your feet in the summer heat, then..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the rest of Dolan's team got goosebumps all over.

Orn rolled his eyes and shook his head, saying, "No, you guys have been training in those shoes yourselves for a while now, they don't smell at all."

"And as long as you pay attention during the training, no water will get into your shoes."

"Come on, let me demonstrate for you."

He reached the edge of the beach where the water just touched the soles of his shoes, then he took a big step forward, then a second, then a third.

The newly radiant light squinted, then rubbed her eyes, and then opened them again.

She pinched her arm, feeling the sharp pain, and chuckled dryly, "Ha, I... am I hallucinating?"

"My benefactor... has he become an immortal? How come I saw him walking on the water???"

Fujimasa was also deeply moved; she had originally intended to explain.

But after stammering for a long time, she still couldn't utter a single word.

Ardan Megumi's expression was less one of shock and more one of blankness. Since joining Dolan's team, her worldview and philosophy of life had been constantly collapsing and rebuilding.

Perhaps, besides the girl in the chestnut hat, she is the calmest person in Dolan's squad?

Oguri Hat was indeed very calm. For her, every impossible thing could be explained by the phrase, "She's really good at dragging Naruto down."

She clenched her fists and began to wonder if she could also stand on the water.

As the rest of Dolan's team saw, Ornn was indeed standing on the water. Although his body rose and fell with the waves, he was definitely standing on the water.

He ran a circle on the sea, then returned to everyone with a natural expression.

He chuckled easily, "You see, it's actually very simple, isn't it? With just a few little tricks, you can stand on the water."

"This is the third phase of the Dolan team's summer training camp. Once you can stay on the water for one minute, our training will move on to the next step..."

Upon hearing this, the newly emerging brilliance finally revealed a lack of support.

Her vision went black, and she fainted.

Chapter 188 Children, unleash your imagination!

Ornn glanced at the bewildered expressions on the faces of Dolan's team and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Is this move difficult?"

Fujimasa sighed, somewhat speechlessly, "I think it has nothing to do with whether it's difficult or not."

"We're just horse girls, we shouldn't have evolved to the point where we can fly or burrow underground, right?"

The usually talkative Shining Radiance of Dolan's team remained silent. She simply ran quickly to the beach, then slapped the water's surface.

"Snapped!"

Her hands passed through the clear, transparent seawater perfectly normally, meaning that Orn hadn't just set up any fishing line or cable; she was actually standing on the water and even ran dozens of meters.

The newly radiant figure cupped a handful of seawater in its hands, watching it slip through its fingers.

She murmured, "This...this doesn't make sense..."

"Hehe, sometimes things that seem unscientific are actually the most scientific."

"Think carefully about the characteristics of these shoes. Once you understand them, you'll naturally know how I just did it."

Orn bent down and patted her head, then looked up in the direction of Oguri's hat: "Oguri, it seems you understand?"

Oguri Hat nodded thoughtfully. She took out her pair of riding boots from a cloth bag beside her and said as she put them on, "I think I understand now."

"Although I don't know if it will work, I can give it a try."

The crowd gathered at the edge of the beach. It was ten o'clock in the morning, and the sun was already beginning to show its power.

The waves crashed against the beach, turning the originally yellowish-white sand a yellowish-brown color.

After putting on her boots, Little Chestnut felt the cool sensation on her feet. She gave Orn a thumbs-up.

She then took a deep breath and carefully stepped towards the waves.

Fujimasa's eyes were almost fixed on Oguri's feet. Unlike Orn's steps, Oguri's first step was very slow, almost as if it had stopped in mid-air.

Her movements were less like taking a step and more like treading on something. The seawater kept engulfing her feet, and with each receding wave, her first step was still not fully taken.

Sweat quickly soaked through Oguri's clothes, and her breathing became heavy. Even though she had only held that pre-step position for five minutes, it now looked as if she had undergone half an hour of high-intensity training.

"Oguri... seems to be searching for a balance?"

After observing for a while, Megumi Ardan said, "Look! The foot she raised is actually moving up and down with the rise and fall of the waves!"

Fujimasa nodded, agreeing, "Yes, Oguri is indeed searching for her balance; she looks like she's walking a tightrope right now."

"Orn, is that also a function of those shoes?"

Ornn smiled and nodded. His team's insight was indeed quite good; even the newly formed Illusion was intently watching Oguri's hat.

He explained, "Yes, the reason I can run on the sea for a short time is because of these shoes."

"Back in school, you already learned the first way to use these shoes, which is to put pressure on your body from all directions,"

"In specific terms, you will feel as if you are walking on the seabed."

Teng Zheng recalled that feeling; just as Orn had said, after putting on the shoes, his body felt as if it were submerged in water.

Not only is exercise more difficult, but even each deep breath requires more effort.

Orn continued, "But that's only one of the functions of these shoes. Besides Aldan, you and Oguri have already experienced the other functions: March and Radiance."

Have you experienced it?

As she lay on the beach examining the gleaming new soles of her hat and shoes against the seawater, Xiao Guihui turned her head in confusion and asked, "Where have we ever worn such advanced gear before?"

Are the three members of Doran's squad different from Megumi Ardan...?

Fujimasa, who was standing to the side, seemed to suddenly remember something. She looked at Orn and said, "Orn, you mean... the shoes we wore during the competition?"

"Bingo! You got it right!"

Orn reached out and pressed his hand on the brand-new shoes worn by Glorious and Fujimasa. The pressure, as if enveloped by flowing water, instantly vanished, replaced by an unparalleled sense of refreshment.

Teng Zheng stepped on her tiptoes to the music of the march, then stomped hard on the sand.

The soft sand did not sink down because of the horse girl's strange strength. On the contrary, the ground she stepped on inexplicably solidified and formed a solid flat surface!

Megumi Ardan exclaimed in surprise, "This...this is!!"

“That’s right, that’s the key to my ability to walk on water,”

Orn patted his boots proudly and said, "When you wear these shoes and stomp on the ground, they solidify part of the ground beneath your feet."

"For example, when running on sand, the soft ground will dissipate the force of the horse's push-off, but these shoes can instantly solidify the ground beneath your feet into a hard steel plate, allowing the horse's power to fully impact this surface!"

"So! Theoretically speaking, the water surface can actually be used as the [ground] for the horse girl to exert force. As long as you can control the power of your legs and toes, you can solidify the water surface into a solid ground!"

"But achieving such an effect is very difficult. Unlike the ground, which has almost no vibration, the waves change the original shape of the water surface every moment. Only by precisely controlling the strength of your legs to every muscle can you succeed!"

"As for the final result... just look, just like Oguri now!"

Fujimasa quickly looked towards the sea and saw that Oguri Hat's one foot was trembling as it stepped onto the water, while the other foot was still submerged.

Unlike before, Oguri Hat was indeed standing on that stretch of water. Although it was close to the furthest point the waves could reach and there wasn't much seawater, she had successfully stood on the water!

"That's a burden to me!..."

Little Chestnut Hat turned around in surprise, about to express her joy, when suddenly the flat surface beneath her feet collapsed.

The girl with the reeds slid her left foot and then fell backward onto the wet sand.

"Ah! Oguri! Are you alright?!"

Shining Brightly, he quickly stepped forward and pulled Little Chestnut Hat up from the ground.

Megumi Ardan put on her boots with some eagerness and asked, "So, Mr. Orn, is this what our next training session will be like?"

Orn nodded and said, "Yes, we'll be doing this for the next month, until mid-August."
