The way Uma Musume looks at me is so scary!

Flying grass clippings and mud mingled in the raging torrent, and the silhouettes of the racehorses ahead seemed to be swallowed up by the gloomy sky, leaving only Xiuxingmeng with one after another sports uniform printed with numbers.

She knew how the number one racehorse's trajectory would tilt, when the number five and number six would lapse in attention, and that the number seven would lose speed at this bend due to the heavy grass.

The Tokyo Racecourse now overlaps with the Tokyo Racecourse of the past. In Xiuxingmeng's eyes, the phantom of the racehorse girls in front of her flickers, and then her intuition bursts forth and gradually solidifies.

She didn't know when it started, but Xiu Xingmeng had become able to read their actions and even their hearts.

Even the Golden Master, who led the pack like the sun, was no exception.

She was looking forward to it, hoping that Xiu Xingmeng would show him an even greater power.

Then Xiuxing's dream came true as she wished.

The moment he rounded the bend, the gold master leading the way smiled.

"Is it finally coming?!"

All the racehorse girls on the field felt a chill at the same time, as if a sword was pressed against their backs, forcing them to behave. Their fragile spirits, already weakened by the Embroidered Star Dream Domain, collapsed instantly, and they subconsciously followed the instinctive urge to escape.

Thus, the spectators outside the stadium witnessed this extraordinary sight.

A crimson blade flashed through the rain, its unstoppable sharpness instantly slicing through the racehorses that had huddled together as if seeking warmth.

In just a few breaths, the streak of red light tore through all obstacles in its path and rushed toward the sun on the field.

Just like Icarus in mythology, with a determination that ordinary people could not imagine, Xiuxingmeng charged towards the Golden Master without reservation.

Such acceleration naturally shocked the crowd outside the arena. They never expected that Xiu Xingmeng, the racehorse girl famous in the center for her great escape, would actually have the ability to chase after people by tearing through the crowd.

The two running styles, "escape" and "pursuit," are like two ends of a line, each representing two extremes of tactics.

One is a running style that leads everyone from beginning to end, leaving everyone far behind with an absolute gap.

The other approach is to lie low and bide one's time, only revealing the sharpness of one's sword at the last moment, thus cutting down everyone.

Both are highly entertaining to watch, but naturally also carry enormous risks. In the central racing scene, where a steady approach is key to victory, spectators haven't seen this kind of running style for quite some time.

After the Satsuki Sho event, Hidehoshi's popularity soared, transforming her from an unknown local racehorse girl into a popular racehorse girl who could almost rival the Gold Master.

The reason is naturally that she demonstrated the ability to defeat the Golden Master, but there is also the audience's expectation for her extreme running style.

After the start of the Japanese derby, the audience was naturally somewhat disappointed to see that Xiu Xingmeng did not use her signature escape technique and that the red streak of light was not seen soaring over the field.

But now, Xiu Xingmeng has shown them another extreme running method that is in no way inferior to the Great Escape.

As Xiu Xingmeng, like a demonic blade, sliced ​​through the racehorses with a vibrant, blood-red slash, a deafening roar erupted from the stands.

The competition in the central area is very intense, and the racehorses make very professional tactical choices, but many viewers cannot see through the details behind the scenes.

They could only watch, day after day, the racehorses using the same running style to compete in similar races over and over again.

If it weren't for the incredible physical talent of the Golden Master, which gave the audience hope that the Arc de Triomphe curse was about to be broken, perhaps not only the local racetracks, but the central racetrack would also be in decline.

Sometimes, people hope to see miracles more than victory.

Those figures who fought and failed repeatedly but never gave up, those legends who rose from the ashes after falling—these stories are often more inspiring than victory or defeat itself.

And now, Xiu Xingmeng has gradually become a part of such a legendary story.

Like her predecessor, Oguri Hat, the racehorse girls who come from the countryside to the central region always seem to carry the glow of miracles, making the racetrack burst with a brilliance that no one can resist.

"It's truly dazzling."

Kentaro Sugiki said in a low voice that as a commentator, he should be enthusiastic and use his words to stir up the emotions of the audience.

But now, he was so shocked that he could no longer think about work. At this moment, Kentaro Sugiki unconsciously recalled the days when he stood in the audience and witnessed the heroic appearance of Oguri Hat and the others.

So he spoke up instinctively.

"It's like another Generation of Miracles..."

Kentaro Sugiki murmured to himself as he watched the two streaks of gold and red light tear through the rain, leaving all the racehorses behind and speeding across the track with the force of thunder.

Meanwhile, amidst the cheering crowd, Golden Ship stared blankly at the track.

The people around her, including Kasamatsu Tresen, were all captivated by the competition and excitedly cheered for Xiuxingmeng.

But she just stared blankly at the red streak of light on the track that cut everyone down like a blade.

The pounding of her heart echoed in her ears, and Golden Ship felt a strange wetness in the corner of her eye. She subconsciously raised her head.

Is it raining?

But the sky was completely blocked out, so the golden ship sitting in its current position could not possibly be hit by rain.

"So they were tears..."

Her tone was low and somber, unlike anything she had ever used before.

From that fleeting glimpse at the Kasamatsu Racecourse to their daily interactions at Kasamatsu Tressen, Golden Ship could never explain why he was so obsessed with the dream of the embroidered star. It was an attraction that transcended reason, like a moth destined to fly towards a scorching flame.

At this moment, Golden Ship's heart was filled with excitement, unlike any other time he had ever watched the Embroidered Dream competition.

This time, she finally found what she was looking for.

"Da Zhui... is really handsome."

Even though he had finally found what he had been searching for, Golden Ship couldn't feel happy for some reason.

Staring blankly at the red streaks of light on the field, Golden Ship shed tears again for some reason.

Chapter 115 Firewood and Fuel

Even A-level stamina couldn't sustain Xiu Xingmeng's domain from start to finish before making a final sprint. What she relied on was her root strength, which had been upgraded to S-level and was called the crown level by the system.

According to Chizuru Haibara, the trainers refer to the period after Guts takes effect as the "second breath."

During this period, the racehorse girl's body will gradually unleash new power as she adapts to the high-intensity exercise, and it is this power that supports Embroidered Dream to rush behind the Golden Master.

However, relying solely on one's inherent nature is not enough.

Even if the Dream of Embroidered Stars were to unleash its full power, it would be impossible to completely offset the amplification of the Golden Master's domain.

Not to mention that the base speed of the Golden Master is likely to be a whole level higher than that of the Embroidered Star Dream.

With such an exaggerated gap, even with the Challenger Badge's boost and the domain's weakening effect on the Gold Master, Embroidered Dream could only follow half a body length behind the Gold Master.

And that's the limit of her speed.

Even a Gold Master who cannot reach his maximum speed can defeat her.

If the situation continues to stalemate, all that awaits us is defeat.

Xiu Xingmeng was fully aware of this; she knew better than anyone just how exaggerated the gap was between herself and the Gold Master.

To the audience outside the arena, Xiu Xingmeng was a miracle, not only rushing from the local level to the central level but also defeating the Golden Master head-on.

It seems that there are no more suspense in this generation except for them. Because of the huge gap between them and other racehorse girls in the eyes of the public, which can be described as an insurmountable chasm, Embroidered Dream and Golden Master are also known as the Twin Kings.

One is a chosen king of noble birth with unparalleled talent.

The other is the King of Miracles, who comes from humble origins but can unleash astonishing power.

In everyone's eyes, Xiu Xingmeng had always been the one who crushed everything in her path.

Even Chizuru Haibara, who knows the limits of Saiki Musume the most, believes that she has unlimited potential. Her victory in the Satsuki Sho makes her feel that the limits of Saiki Musume cannot be summarized by basic abilities, and miracles can happen on the racetrack.

But only Xiu Xingmeng herself knew that it was already a miracle that she could stand on this stage.

From countless defeats when facing the Emperor of the East Sea in his debut battle, to the dejected feeling of realizing his limits in the first scripted world, to finally burning himself into firewood for victory.

She was never some unparalleled racehorse girl; it was all that she had accumulated in the past that made people on the racetrack feel that Embroidered Star Dream had infinite possibilities.

Having come this far, Xiu Xingmeng knows that all her savings have been exhausted.

With the blessing of the Tokyo Swift, the amplification of the Challenger Badge, and the synergy between S-rank Root and Domain, this is all the power of Embroidered Star Dream.

Now, while running and maintaining her domain with all her might, Xiu Xingmeng has even foreseen the moment when her own innate nature will be completely burned out.

The second breath is called the second breath, and not the third or fourth, because it provides power only once.

After its inherent potential is exhausted, Xiu Xingmeng will fall into a quagmire called "hitting the wall".

It was as if a solid, high wall would suddenly appear in front of him, blocking his path. No matter how much he wanted to run and speed up, he could not break through this wall.

Once the effects of the second breath have worn off, the outcome of the Japanese derby will be completely decided.

Even if the Phoenix skill can extend the duration by a few more seconds, it won't help, because the maximum speed of Embroidered Star Dream is simply not enough to catch up with Golden Master.

This is the most straightforward and cruelest aspect: the gap between basic abilities.

Those outside the arena regard Xiuxingmeng as the king of miracles.

But Xiu Xingmeng felt more like an assassin.

Holding a demonic sword with the power to kill with a single blow, she only had one chance to use it, and that one chance was already used up by Xiu Xingmeng at the Sagaku Rewards.

If you still want to pull out that demonic sword called Murasame, you must pay the price of your life.

At this moment, the Golden Master in front of Xiuxingmeng seemed to have a premonition of his victory. Despite the raging wind and rain and the suppression of Xiuxingmeng's domain, he forced himself to speak.

"How is it?!"

"My nemesis, have you ever been captivated by the figure of the Golden Tyrant?!"

The racehorse girl's instinct to crave strong opponents makes her hope that the Star Dream can surprise her again, but if she wins like this, the Golden Master will also be happy.

In her view, since she and Xiu Xingmeng were sworn enemies, it was only natural that they would each have their own victories and defeats.

If she had never even beaten Xiu Xingmeng once, how could she be qualified to call herself Xiu Xingmeng's nemesis?

Just like with Good Opera back then, in the ultimate collision between fields, Embroidered Star Dream once again possessed the ability to understand each other on a spiritual level with the Golden Master.

Therefore, she can convey her will to the other party without speaking.

For some reason, knowing that she was about to reach her limit, Xiu Xingmeng suddenly had a question she wanted to ask the Golden Master.

What are your thoughts on the female racehorses behind us?

They also reached their limits early on in the realm of Embroidery Star Dream.

Hearing the voice of Xiu Xingmeng in her heart, the Gold Master raised an eyebrow and proudly responded after hearing the question.

“All racehorse girls who lack the capacity to bear expectations will have their original expectations swallowed up, and only in this way can the stage burst forth with the most dazzling glory.”

"Having given up on winning or losing, they will naturally have their hopes swallowed up by you and me."

Golden Master grew up in the world of horse racing, dominated by elite families, and the information she received from a young age shaped her logic in this way.

The racehorse girls, each with their own expectations, compete for victory. The strongest racehorse girl will devour and absorb the expectations of all the other racehorse girls. Ultimately, only one racehorse girl will reign supreme in each generation.

This is the golden tyrant that the Gold Master envisioned. Even though she was pushed to her limit by excessive expectations, she only thought that it was because she had truly matured.

This is why she hopes that Xiuxingmeng will unleash even greater power. The Golden Master wants to become stronger and stronger in the struggle against his nemesis, until he can finally live up to everyone's expectations and become that golden tyrant.

"Like fuel?"

Xiu Xingmeng thought to herself, she suddenly understood this scripted world.

In the horse racing world dominated by such prestigious families, all the female horses will burn themselves out like kindling. Only by constantly winning and seizing the expectations of others can they continue to run in this endless burning.

As firewood piles up, a king who will rule generations will surely emerge from the flames that eventually ignite.

Meanwhile, declining local racehorse girls like Minamino Sumire, Saddler Suzune, Nishimoto Makisoba, and Kobayashi Fuu will become the lowest level of this fuel system.

It was burned to ashes at the fastest speed.

Now, Xiu Xingmeng finally realizes what the vow she made before them, the promise to bring down the prestigious family from its throne, truly means.

Chapter 116 A Victory Dedicated to Everyone (4k)

Death is a painful thing, and Xiu Xingmeng, who pushed herself to the limit for victory during the first script world, has a deep memory of this.

The pain, as if every bone in her body had been shattered and every tiny nerve had been burned in flames, was something Xiu Xingmeng would never forget.

However, there are always things in this world more important than life.

She must save her mother and complete the main quest to exchange for the Hope Gem. She made a vow to her friends, promising to tear apart the shadow cast by the prestigious families in the sky of the horse racing world.

She had many reasons to win, and these reasons, in Xiu Xingmeng's view, were more important than a single, excruciating pain.

There was no excuse for cowardice, nor was there any way to escape. From the very beginning, I knew how to break through my limits.

Is not it?

Xiu Xingmeng's lips curled up; she had seen through the rain and her gaze was fixed on the distant finish line.

"After me, there will definitely be more powerful racehorse girls in the region."
