As a horse girl, I will never lose!

"With all this expectation on my shoulders, I can't lose."

The 'Emperor of the East China Sea' thought with a cheery mood.

Even though not many people are optimistic about her performance in this race, she will definitely run an outstanding performance in this race just for the sake of the child who admires her!

"I want to win. Now I finally understand how heavy this feeling is!"

"It seems that even without someone's support, the Emperor is in pretty good shape today."

On the Spica team side, trainer Okino was met with unanimous hostility from the team members.

"...I have never worried about the 'Emperor' because she will definitely be stronger than before when she returns to the competition."

"There's no point in you saying this to us."

The 'Golden Ship' was completely unmoved, and influenced by it, the others were not moved by Okino's words either.

"Okay, I was wrong, but—"

Okino said seriously: "I don't regret making this decision."

Indeed, as a trainer, he should not have chosen to stand on the side when the players met each other in the game.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't even have such a thought.

Because for him, no matter who he chooses to support, he will feel very distressed, and he can't judge who among them has a better chance of winning the game.

But that was before. Now that the 'Emperor' has lost twice, he thinks he has seen the current limit of the 'Emperor'.

Even though the Emperor has returned stronger than before, McQueen's progress has never lagged behind.

In this situation, he could easily tell who was stronger between them.

And beyond that, there is a very real problem.

That is, the 'Emperor' has lost the qualification to challenge a higher level of legend, but 'McQueen' is still challenging.

As long as he can win this game, McQueen will be able to achieve the great achievement of winning the Emperor Spring Championship three times in a row.

Even if the 'Emperor' wins today's game, not many people will pay special attention to his results.

So whether from a personal or work perspective, Okino feels that his choice this time was not wrong.

Because he wants McQueen to win!

If just sacrificing yourself can give 'McQueen' a better chance of winning, then why not do it?

As for the 'Emperor's' mood?

Okino believed that the 'Emperor' would not be defeated by such a small matter, because even though the situation was so bad before, the 'Emperor' persisted!

Okino made no secret of his current thoughts.

'Golden Ship' and others were speechless, because this guy's behavior was really too clumsy.

"The 'East Sea Emperor' who has returned to the game looks very good. I believe we will see a wonderful performance in today's game."

"The next competitor to appear is the second most popular player in this competition, the strongest long-distance runner who has dominated the previous two Spring Emperor's Awards - 'Mejiro McQueen'!"

Like the 'Emperor of the East Sea', 'Mejiro McQueen', wearing a brand new victory suit, walked out of the passage.

That stern and majestic posture was extremely beautiful, and he exuded a dominant aura all over his body, just like the king of this game!

This feeling becomes even stronger when you consider that this is her third time participating in this competition.

The Emperor is enjoying the spring, and this race seems to be a venue tailor-made for 'Mejiro McQueen'. One can't help but wonder if no one can break the myth of 'Mejiro McQueen' on this track!

This time the cheers from the stands were much louder than before.

If the 'East China Sea Emperor' had not lost so badly last year, the situation might be different now.

If she maintains her undefeated streak and challenges Mejiro McQueen's throne with the momentum of winning, fans will definitely be looking forward to her performance even more.

But the mythical golden body of the 'Emperor of the East China Sea' was broken, and not only that, she even avoided the previous Osaka Cup.

As such, naturally many people would begin to doubt whether the strength of the 'East China Sea Emperor' had reached a bottleneck.

So at this moment, the popularity of 'Mejiro McQueen' overwhelmingly surpasses that of 'Emperor of the East Sea'!

People seem to be supporting a king!

but--

Do they really have the confidence to continue to believe that 'Mejiro McQueen' will defend the title in this competition?

Do not!

After the last contestant entered the venue, the sound of the entire venue shook like thunder, and the momentum far exceeded the support that "Mejiro McQueen" had just received.

"Yes, the final protagonist is of course this contestant who deserves it. The undefeated triple crown Uma Musume, who has an undefeated record so far and has broken many records. This contestant is still writing epic stories - Mi Yu. No one can compete with her for the most popular position in this competition!"

When Mi Yu heard the host's comments about himself, he felt extremely ashamed for a moment.

I'm not that great, and most of the comments here are probably talking about [Ba Wang].

"Shouldn't you just accept it? I am you."

The voice of [Overlord] rang in Mi Yu's mind.

Mi Yu nodded, then took a deep breath, his eyes became serious again, and the dark domineering aura was instantly released.

Feeling the aura coming from Mi Yu, all the contestants present felt their hearts palpitating.

'That's the aura of Mi Yu!'

"He is really strong."

"As expected of a guy who has won all the way!"

The expressions of 'Mejiro McQueen' and 'East Sea Emperor' also became extremely nervous.

Although they had an agreement to determine the winner, they had to consider one thing before deciding the winner.

That is how to ensure one's own survival under the suppression of Mi Yu!

'No, I want more than that!'

The 'Emperor of the East Sea' shook his head to get rid of that cowardly thought.

What she wants is not just to survive this game, what she should pursue is victory!

'Mejiro McQueen' had a similar idea.

"It's really amazing. If it were anywhere else, I would be trembling with fear right now, but only in this place, only today—"

Absolutely can't lose!

'Mejiro McQueen' had a light flash of arrogance in his eyes.

The aura of ZONE that erupted from her body strongly responded to Mi Yu's domineering aura. The awareness in her heart and the persistence of her will turned into real power under the blessing of ZONE!

After Mi Yu felt the momentum of 'Mejiro McQueen', he just gave him a cold look with an expressionless face.

In an instant, the dark aura suddenly surged, overwhelming the momentum of 'Mejiro McQueen' again!

"......!"

Mejiro McQueen looked horrified.

What a powerful and unfathomable darkness it is.

Can I really defeat such a [Monster]? !

In an instant, her originally prepared mood began to waver.

"No, don't think about your opponent! All I have to think about is how to get to the finish line!"

[Chapter 168: The final decisive blow! ]

The gate opened, a dazzling light shone from behind the gate, and the contestants rushed towards the track.

"Finally! The competition has begun!"

The commentator's voice sounded.

It can be seen that no player was late in this game.

Just then, a contestant rushed out of the queue yelling!

"Oooo--"

The first one to rush out of the track was Mejiro Yoshinobu!

A series of adaptive skills flashed across Mejiro Zenshin's body.

And that’s not all, she even released two gold-level speed skills at the same time!

Although he could feel the fatigue and headache, at this moment Mejiro Zenshin's eyes were full of struggle and determination!

"Run away, run away!"

"This time, I must run at full speed to the end. I'm going to do it!"

She almost closed her eyes and rushed out with all her strength!

The desperate look on his face made it seem like he hadn't considered tactics at all, he was just charging forward with sheer force.

After the previous defeat in the Osaka Cup, she did not give up the idea of ​​escaping.

Instead, he and his friends carefully studied the reasons for their defeat and their own shortcomings. In the end, they all agreed that the reason they lost that game was because their escape was not thorough enough, so this time Mejiro Yoshinobu decided to challenge his limits from the beginning of the game.

"The first one to rush out was Mejiro Yoshinobu, but the players behind him are also approaching!"

'This guy! '

The nearby runners looked at Mejiro Zenshin with surprised eyes, totally confused as to what he was thinking. Was he planning to use the escape method in this race? What a joke, this was a 3200m ultra-long distance race, could anyone really be so stupid!

Mejiro McQueen, who was originally hesitant about whether to run away, was stunned for a moment when he saw the figure rushing out.

'A believer?'

She didn't expect that there would actually be someone who would dare to use such an outrageous running method in this game, and that this person was her own sister.

Subconsciously, her first thought was that this was too reckless.

But soon she noticed the aura emanating from Mejiro Yoshinobu.

Even though that is still a long way from truly entering the world of ZONE, being able to come into contact with this power proves that Mejiro Yoshinobu's awareness is not inferior to anyone else!

"Is that so? This is your realization. Although I really want to bless you, I will not give up this victory to anyone else. I will fight with all my strength!"

Mejiro McQueen maintained his current speed and did not rush forward rashly, with a holy white light flashing in his serious eyes.

[Wave] is on!

Mejiro McQueen's speed began to slowly increase.

A little further back, the 'Emperor of the East China Sea' looked at his friend's performance, and a white wave of air also appeared on his body, activating the [Wave].

Neither of them was in a hurry to show off at the beginning of the game. After all, skills have time limits and frequency limits. An early burst means weakness in the later stages. Unless they are confident that they can completely shake off all opponents in the early and middle stages of the game, the best time to burst out is always in the second half of the game.

However, even with some reservations, their speed was not much slower than the other players in the front row.

Stronger physical fitness plus the blessing of [Wave] is enough to fight against some opponents who have burst out low-level skills.

Mi Yu was at the end of the queue at this time.

At the beginning of the race, she chose a relatively conservative running method as usual.

Even though she possesses the strongest strength, her desire for victory and the experience she learned from St. McQueen make her extremely serious and cautious in every game.

There were many players with gate skills who immediately used their skills on Mi Yu, but it had no effect at all.

[Fusion] has a hidden passive ability that turns all effects that affect itself into materials, so Mi Yu is not affected by gate skills.

However, in Mi Yu's case, unlike Saint McQueen's unlockable situation, Mi Yu will not be affected by the effect even after being hit.

Therefore, in terms of gate techniques, Mi Yu is better than Saint McQueen.

The only difference is that Saint McQueen's effect does not burden oneself, but Mi Yu's effect consumes a certain amount of one's mental strength.

However, even if there is some consumption, I am afraid no one in this world can reach that upper limit, so it can be completely regarded as non-existent.
