I only have one year to live, so I must become a legendary horse girl!

Rather, as one of the horse girls who is called the best at breakthroughs in the world by Brave Dancer, Gotham Anthem can even see where Jifeng is lacking.

But...! Although Donna's defense wasn't bad by comparison, it was the first time she'd been defeated by a horsegirl of this level in a formal match! Faced with this situation, Gotham Carol naturally became worried.

Ji Feng's breakthrough has temporarily stopped, but this is actually much more terrifying than Ji Feng continuing to break through.

Because if Ji Feng keeps breaking through, although it looks quite dangerous, there will be many times when he almost breaks through Donna's obstruction, but it only looks dangerous!

As a horse girl whose speed is not that terrifying, it would be difficult for Donna to achieve anything if we only look at this aspect. Even if she has strong endurance, it would be difficult for her to make any achievements in the current horse girl environment.

Because once the speed is at a disadvantage, it will be difficult to counter the extremely high speed of the fleeing horse.

but…!

But Donna has more powerful talents and advantages that can make up for this.

That is the extremely powerful strength, the relatively sturdier physique, and the unique advantage in interception and suppression...!

As early as the time when Donna and Hangxian first started competing, Donna completely demonstrated what a tactical victory was. Therefore, this is Donna's biggest advantage and hope of winning when facing the escaped horse.

As long as I can completely suppress Jifeng, the only opponent I need to worry about is Xingmu...

So, can Donna stop Xingmu's charge and challenge? There is no such hope, or rather, if Donna continues in this state, there is no such hope.

Only if a miracle happens... can Donna win the first place in the cherry blossom competition, right?

"Miss Jifeng didn't continue to break through. Is she conserving her strength and choosing to switch to a conservative strategy? Or is she simply looking for an opportunity? Regardless, we'll soon find out what Jifeng's choice is, right?"

"The first corner of the Hanshin Sakura Festival is almost here! What will the early stages of the race look like? How will the outcome change?"

"Can you complete the breakthrough, Jifeng, or is it Dongna... you want to completely kill any chance of Jifeng's victory?!!"

“It really makes my heart beat faster and I’m so excited!”

The commentator's tone was quite high, clearly anticipating this kind of scene. Or rather, who wouldn't enjoy a match like this, one that was charged with tension from the very beginning? This was the most direct, intense, and unabashed competition, a fight that went on from start to finish, a fight where there was no retreat, a relentless pursuit of victory, even at the risk of one's life...!

No, I don't want to lose, no matter what... no matter what...

The name of this era should belong to Jifeng!

The end of the first straight was in sight. Ji Feng gritted her teeth, trying her best to maintain her composure in order to maximize her chances of finding the best opportunity to break out. It was at this moment that her already overflowing emotions erupted, then converged to a point—

At this moment, Ji Feng disappeared from this world, even if it was just a brief moment, but the horse girl who was running there suddenly seemed like a different person.

Ji Feng was still running, but she had temporarily abandoned everything else and transformed into a terrifying creature crawling out of the underworld.

At the peak, the hideous face is the evil spirit that tirelessly devours victory on the field...!

Hehe, hahahaha, I must win, I must win no matter what!

The moment she entered the curve, Donna started her first acceleration very fiercely, and this performance was like a clarion call of war, adding more gunpowder to the already tense air.

"Ms. Donna has already entered the curve! But is she going to start accelerating now? Right here, at the first curve?! So, if Miss Donna starts accelerating, will Miss Jifeng have a chance of breaking through?!"

If Donna accelerated, the distance between her and Jifeng would naturally increase. In other words, a subtle gap appeared in the originally tight obstruction at this time, and it happened in a curve that was originally easy to break through -!

So, should we start here? Now is definitely the most opportune time, and the price of a breakthrough is just some physical effort. But now that we've reached the first bend, if we start...

I guess I'll have enough stamina to make it to the finish line...?

I can't care about so many things. I have to consider whether this is the most suitable opportunity for this game. If I miss it, there will be no hope at all. You know, although physical management is very important in the game, if the physical reserves are sufficient but there is no way to accelerate, then no matter how much physical strength you have, it will be of no use...!

I'm tired of this kind of hesitation and deliberation. Since this is a situation where there's no real reason to go wrong whether I speed up or not...

Jifeng, move out!

"Oh oh oh oh! Miss Jifeng has attacked, Miss Jifeng has attacked! She has challenged Miss Dongna openly! At the first bend, at the first bend, can she catch up, can she overtake?"

"Can you completely surpass Donna and avenge the interception and suppression just now?!"

Absolutely, it should be easy!

Ji Feng's speed was so fast that it seemed as if there was no end to the acceleration. In order to break through successfully, she did not enter the corner, but rushed directly to the straight line on the outside, wanting to turn from this angle and start flying into the sky.

It should be said that Ji Feng's intuition is frighteningly sharp, because only with this choice can Dongna completely lose any possibility of blocking after accelerating out of the corner. However, the extra cost of such a choice is the extra consumption of physical strength...!

But at this moment, Ji Feng no longer cared. She just rushed up to the outer road, and then took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the first person in front!

So, can we achieve our wish?

Accelerating from the outer lane is actually a very risky behavior, but Jifeng took advantage of the fact that the race was only 1,600 meters and there would not be such a heavy burden, so he chose to go straight for it. In fact, Jifeng's choice also brought considerable results.

Although Donna entered the corner earlier, Jifeng's speed was quite terrifying after all. She quickly caught up and was almost on the same line with Donna.

Moreover, what made the audience believe that Jifeng was likely to win was that because of the acceleration from the outer lane, Jifeng easily approached the inner side of the track and occupied the easiest lane for a escaping horse to exert force. As long as he could maintain this momentum, Jifeng would definitely have a great chance of winning the championship.

As the horse girl who was blocking Jifeng before, Donna is now obviously quite a distance away from the energy-saving position on the innermost lane. It seems that she is not that good at cornering, so she does not have the confidence to run on the track that requires the most skills.

The audience gave thunderous applause.

"Breakthrough, was it a success? Miss Jifeng has already taken the innermost lane. Clearly, as long as she keeps accelerating, she'll be able to break through! And Miss Dongna, who was originally in the lead, isn't even good at cornering?!"

She's a member of the Eternal Beat team, but it seems not all horse girls can master the terrifying cornering skills of Miss Gotham Carol?!

If that's the case...

"Jifeng is coming up, Jifeng is about to break through, Donna is about to be left behind... What?!"

"Ms. Donna, Miss Donna is actually suppressing all the places that Jifeng can advance at this time?!"

Just when the commentators were about to make a judgment, something no one had imagined happened. Donna, who originally seemed not very good at cornering, suddenly approached the innermost side, and then adjusted her state the moment she landed, and then demonstrated an unmatched cornering skill that was even more perfect than Jifeng's.

I'm a member of Eternal Beat...!

So, now, Ji Feng has wasted a lot of physical energy and has not achieved any results. What will be your choice?

Donna knew clearly what she had to do in this game, which was to destroy Jifeng in the first half of the game, making her completely lose the ability to pursue the first place in the final set of the game, and then finally use her determination and desire to win to go head-to-head with Xingmu...!

In this case, what should be done to make Jifeng completely lose the ability to catch up?

Answer: After suppressing her, give her hope, so that she can only choose an option that consumes a lot of physical energy, and then start suppressing again at the last moment.

Only in this way will Jifeng try his best in the almost only window of hope and try to break through regardless of the consequences, but Dongna will naturally not allow Jifeng to soar into the sky.

This is why she resumed the suppression in the end.

So, faced with such a thing, with all the physical strength consumed and only one step away from a successful breakthrough, what choices will you make?

The first bend was almost over, and what followed was a super long straight, the second bend. In this last chance, Ji Feng seemed to have gone crazy and no longer cared about anything.

Now, she is just trying her best to break through Donna...!

However, such a thing is of no use at all. For Ji Feng, who has already lost the best opportunity, Dongna only needs to adjust her posture slightly to completely suppress her opponent behind her -!

Ji Feng had not given up. She tried again and again, but kept failing. Even in this situation, she continued to break through and did not stop even when she was halfway through the second long straight.

But anyone could clearly see that at this point in the game... Ji Feng's physical strength had been depleted to the point of being completely drained, as if she had been squeezed dry, leaving only the last remnants. Despite her all-out effort, despite her forced persistence, despite this...

Despite this, Jifeng's hopes of winning had completely dimmed, and it was only now that Dongna released her suppression.

Is it no longer possible? No, it is no longer necessary.

Donna... She began to try her best to increase her speed in order to gain an advantage in the subsequent confrontation.

Her endurance is truly at a monster level. Not to mention 1,600 meters, even a 2,200-meter race would easily make Donna fall into a situation where it is not that her endurance is insufficient, but that her endurance is too much and she has not yet entered the state.

"Miss Jifeng has been worn down. Could it be that Miss Donna had already decided on her strategy before the competition began? Such a frightening horse girl! But why did Miss Donna start speeding up after Miss Jifeng had already lost her competitive edge? Could it be that Miss Donna wanted to challenge the Sakura Tournament victory by running away?"

"No, that's not right. Miss Donna wouldn't do such a pointless thing, would she? The competition is already halfway through. If there are no more unexpected events, if you want to take first place, Miss Donna just needs to pay attention to the Uma Musume group behind you... the Uma Musume group behind you?"

The commentator reacted suddenly and looked behind her. Sure enough, the moment she figured everything out, she became even more excited and shouted loudly.

"Sure enough, sure enough...! As expected, a thoughtful horse girl like Miss Donna wouldn't do anything so reckless. She needs to be concerned about the horse girl group behind her. And right now, the undisputed most popular player in this competition, Miss Xingmu, has already bared her fangs!"

Originally, Xingmu, as a chasing horse, was not too anxious to fight for the advantageous position in the early stage of the game. Also because she was a chasing horse, the commentator did not pay more attention to her. After all, the competition between the two horse girls in front was too exciting to watch.

However, everyone is now looking forward to another thing, which is...

Will the rivalry between Donna and Xingmu really happen?

This is a challenge that spans the entire horsegirl group, from the back echelon to the front echelon?!

Generally speaking, with such a huge advantage, even if someone was chasing Mama-Musume, there wouldn't be much chance of catching up, right? But the Mama-Musume that caught up was Anmu, the one who had vowed to restore the glory of the Japan Cup...!

If it were her, maybe she could do it, right?

"Xingmu, Xingmu is catching up from the back!"

"Xingmu, I've issued a challenge!"

The flax-colored light rushing from the back is as fast as lightning!

Chapter 194, Donna, invincible.

Xingmu is catching up!!!

Sure enough, when she heard these words, Donna did not feel any surprise.

The biggest highlights and opponents of this game are her and the remaining two horse girls, and Jifeng obviously did not consider Donna's appearance too much, which is why she looked so anxious and helpless when she was suppressed at the beginning, and could only break through according to her mood and subconsciousness.

So, what was it that truly drove Jifeng to such a state of anxiety when he was being suppressed? Was it really possible that Dongna could maintain such a lead and completely kill Jifeng's hopes of victory in the end?

Probably no Uma Musume would think this way, or rather, such a thing would not be something that Uma Musume generally considers possible.

So, what is the real reason why Ji Feng is trying so hard to accelerate and break through Donna?

Of course, before this match started, Ji Feng would have considered it the truly formidable opponent, the one who had been holding back from the back, never knowing when to show his fangs...

Almond eyes! Are you going to start?!

This is the guy that Ji Feng is really afraid of, and the main reason why Donna can be absolutely successful in fighting like this - at the same time, this is also the real reason why Donna will start to accelerate after finishing the first corner and only the rest of the race is left.

Of course, Donna's speed is lower than Xingmu's. If she continues the race with the original distance advantage, Xingmu still has the possibility of catching up, and it's very likely, right?

This is why he was suppressed by Donna in the corner at Jifeng and had not started yet, because in that case, the normal race was still completely under Xingmu's rhythm and control.

But…!

But of course Donna understood this point, and the answer she gave was very simple. Since you think you can overcome such a distance gap in the final scene, then what if I break your rhythm and advance our decisive battle to a time point that you cannot accept?

endurance!

This is Donna's greatest advantage, and also her most important reliance in normal competitions. Although her tolerance for longer track distances cannot be fully utilized in a 1,600-meter race, what if she changes her perspective and turns her endurance adaptation to the track length into the time she can maintain the maximum speed... ?

Since the race track isn't very long, if I just subjectively increase the areas that require physical effort, then I'm not addressing my weaknesses, but my strengths...

Therefore, Donna started to accelerate at such a time point after Jifeng completely lost its competitiveness, because if Jifeng was not suppressed, the one who would chase it and try his best would only end up in failure would definitely be Donna, but now Jifeng has already failed.

When Donna chose to start changing speed, Xingmu had no choice...!

I know you will be waiting for the result ahead of us. I also know that you are calm because everything is under control. Of course, I also know that you are much faster than me and you have the confidence to overtake me even at the end of the game...!

But if I want to break away from your rhythm, like now, you, apricot eyes.

Do you have the courage not to accept the challenge?!

The answer is Xingmu doesn't have it. Of course she doesn't have it, because if a horse racing girl can suddenly speed up and challenge the competition to her limit just when the race is halfway through, she is either a lunatic, a fool, or she is confident...!

Is Donna a lunatic and an idiot, a horsegirl like a twin-turbo? If so, she wouldn't be able to improvise and completely "dismember" Jifeng on the field...!

Then, you can only be confident.

It could only be that she was confident...! Donna was truly certain she could finish the race this way. That confidence was the reason she sped up and issued the challenge at this moment.

He was upright and open, without any concealment, and simply put the choice in front of Xingmu again.

Can I hold on to the end?

I don't know if you can hold on to the end, but no matter what... I can't let you choose the outcome of the game so easily, right?!

That is why Xingmu suddenly exploded in almost an instant, challenging the front of the competition from the group that was originally at the back.

"Xingmu, Xingmu is charging forward at such a terrifying speed, even accelerating?! Is he going all-out right from the start, like a last-ditch fighter? Did he sense something, or does he think Donna's advantage is already so great that if he keeps this up, there's no chance of winning."

"The invisible game between the players on the field, my goodness, it's so exciting. Dongna's acceleration, and Xingmu's sudden acceleration... This is really a challenge, right? This is a challenge to Xingmu, who just defeated Jifeng with tactics?"

"A blatant conspiracy!"

"This is terrifying! Contestant Dongna's plan is truly terrifying. Contestant Xingmu must have fully realized this intention to accelerate at this time, right?"

"It's terrifying and nerve-wracking. My heart is racing along with the horses. Even a seasoned commentator like me feels suffocated. I dare not even glance at them!"

The audience might not have clearly sensed such an intention, but under the commentator's loud shouts, everyone clearly reacted. Suddenly realizing what terrible thing had happened on the field, the people in the brief delay burst into astonishing cheers, even the sound alone made the entire stadium seem to shake!

In such a warm atmosphere, there was a person, or rather, a horse girl who was getting increasingly excited. Her blood seemed to be burning, and her body was as hot as a flame. Just by touching the air, white mist was lingering around her...!

However, the pair of cross-shaped eyes that flashed clear blue in the thin mist penetrated any obstacles and burst out with unmatched light.
