"Bo... ah, is he the legend of the world equestrian competition, the first place for five consecutive years?"
"Well, you are right, young master Xiao Xi!"
"That is to say, if Ning Er and Yuwen Law compete, the chances of winning will be greater..."
"Good! Is that you, Young Master Xiao Jun? Have you come up with a plan?"
Well... I think we only need to win one game. Of the three, only Ninger has a chance of winning. So, following the old horse racing strategy of Mr.Tian, we can only win if we choose the relatively weak opponent!
"Smart! You came up with the allusion so quickly and made a strategy. Its impressive!"
"Um? Ah, Uncle Tian, you flatter me. You should call me Xiao Jun. Thats a bit of a foreign name!"
"Okay, Xiao Jun..."
Hey, did you two agree yet? Hmph, youre just dragging your feet... Dont worry, we wont switch horses. Well stick with Jiyin. Brother Lus first battle... Do you still dare to compete? If you dont, youll admit defeat! By then, the yellow flower will have already withered!
"Ah, you..."
"Xiao Xi... Your Highness, weve agreed. Lets begin!"
-Hmph! And youre still so calm... At your level, just wait and see how Ill crush you!
Ajun has always avoided anything he couldnt handle. So this challenge was a last resort-though he knew even a draw would be tough, given their current level, except for Ning er.
So the key to this victory lies on Ning ers shoulders, but those two are by no means ordinary people, what to do...
Fortunately, the knowledge Ajun had accumulated since childhood suddenly gave him an idea. After gathering intelligence from the other side, he finally decided on a strategy: Ninger would take on the relatively weaker Yuwen Lu in the first battle to secure victory, thereby passing the challenge.
"Yinger..."
"- Hmm!"
"What are you talking about?"
With the sound of a bell from the trainer, the first game officially began. Because there was a second game to consider, Yuwen Lu had to slow down and let Jiyin conserve his strength.
After the start, Jiyins speed noticeably slowed. Ning ers partner, Ningshuang, was no ordinary fighter either. Though they both looked like mere ornaments, their skills were among the best.
In the initial stage, due to the speed and explosive power of Jiyin, Ning Shuang fell behind a little, but it was only temporary. Soon, as the speed difference narrowed, Ning Er gradually caught up with the hesitant player, Lü.
During the mid-game phase, Ning er repeatedly overtook her rivals thanks to Ning Shuangs unique abilities. Her current slight lead even made Xiao Xi, standing nearby, cheerfully shout with delight. Meanwhile, Ajun, who had been calmly observing, had already spotted the problem: if Yuwen Lu didnt ease up, Ning er would likely struggle to catch up...
-Is he doing this for?
"Brother Law, keep going! You dont need to think too much..."
"Think about it. Ning er is leading now, and it looks like youre letting her go..."
"Hmm, not at all. If it werent for the second round, Brother Law would have beaten her up by ten streets!"
-Well, thats true! The young princesss words are not without merit. Clearly, Jiyin outperforms Ningshuang in speed. After all, one excels in explosive power, while the other is renowned for endurance.
Yuwen Lus decision was logical, as physical conditioning was crucial for Jiyin, who had to compete in two matches!
"Ah Jun, look, we are close to the finish line, we are going to win, haha!"
"Dont be too happy... Hmph, Brother Lu, you must win!"
-Well, for now, Ning er does have the upper hand. But dont forget, Yuwen Lu and Jiyin are no ordinary opponents... As he speeds up, Jiyins stamina will likely take a hit.
Soon, as the final sprint approached, everyone was glued to the track, not daring to blink... Yuwen Lu seemed increasingly anxious-her constant encouragement and reminders made it impossible for him to stick to his original plan. After all, this opponent had forced him to rethink his strategy immediately.
He had planned to use half his consumption to gain a slight advantage and stay ahead, but now it seems that he is not only losing ground, but may not win if he does not step up his efforts.
- Well!
With composure, Yuwen Lu activated the Ultimate Shadow power. Not only did he break through Ning Shuangs speed limit, but he also accelerated to the finish line in an instant. Just as the two competitors were about to cross the finish line, the order reversed. Yuwen Lu, who had been trailing, now stood neck and neck with Ning er... Their vehicles were inching forward...
"Crossed the finish line... Ha, Ning er won! Amazing! Hmm? A Jun, whats wrong?"
"What look do you have? Brother Law will not lose!"
"Xiao Xi, we didnt win..."
"How did you notice it, kid... such a subtle moment, the average person should not be able to see it?"
"First game, both teams reached the finish line at the same time, draw!"
At this moment, with the emperors verdict, Ah Juns deduction was verified. Xiao Xis original excitement turned into some dissatisfaction, but after all, the trainer, Mr.Tian, was professional, so there was no trick.
Although it was a draw, it was the best outcome Ah Jun had anticipated. As for Xiao Xi, he had no idea about such strategic matters and didnt bother to think about them-after all, the only thing that mattered was not losing.
"Nei er, youre so good!"
"A Jun, I..."
"Um... no problem-after all, youre just teamed up with Ning Shuang, and Yuwen Lus equestrian skills are top-notch among his peers. Its only natural he didnt win."
When the first game ended, Ning er took the horse and returned to the team with a little embarrassment. Of course, Xiao Xi immediately gave his girl a high emotional value. In his eyes, Ning er was the best. Even if it was a draw, it was the mercy of the saintess.
At this moment, Ning er had no interest in feeling. She longed to help Ajun win the game, so that the boy could stay away from that girl. After all, what Ning er needed now was something Xiao Xi couldnt give and didnt understand.
As for Ah Jun, he should know some of Ning ers thoughts. He just noticed the loss of his companion at a glance, and realized that Xiao Xis emotional appeal was ineffective. What Ning er was looking forward to at this moment was the boys speech.
Under Ah Juns guidance, Ning er, who had been somewhat apologetic, finally relaxed her frown. Then the three of them chatted merrily, celebrating in good spirits-because the right person and the right words are worth a thousand words!
Xin er, Im sorry...
"Brother Law, what are you saying? Its okay... I know youre thinking of me, so you didnt use your full strength--otherwise, they wouldnt have had a chance!"
Hey... how dare you talk like youre telling us what to do? Thats what we call strength, you know!
" you !"
"What are you doing, trying to hit me... Come on, come on, bite me!"
"Hmph, Duanmu Xi, dont think I dare to hit you... I!"
"Ok... Tian Ji, start the second game!"
" yes !"
Wait and see. Ill make you lose with your own eyes!
Originally, Ah Juns entire plan centered on Ning er, as she was the key player in this endeavor. Though Yuwen Lu was formidable, given the historical context, his winning probability would be slightly higher. Should they prevail, the second match would be irrelevant-after all, victory was already assured.
But unfortunately, the first game was not won by a single point. Although this result was within the expectation of Ah Jun, it was impossible to win the next game.
Now, after losing the first match, the little princess wasnt the least bit upset. In fact, she was eagerly anticipating the second showdown. She kept her eyes fixed on Ah Jun and his team, brimming with confidence like a tiger waiting for its prey-though the real prey was still figuring out who would take on her in the next round.
"Hey, have you made up your mind yet, or are you going to give up..."
"Hey, whats there to brag about? Watch me win you!"
"You... you alone, haha, dont forget that you are my defeated man--oh, and the green bean eye!"
"Ah, you... last time, I gave in to you, look at me this time..."
Hey, whos scared? If you dont dare, admit defeat and apologize... Losing to me is normal!
Hey, who do you think youre looking down on? This time, Ill take care of you - and hes got a name, Ah Jun... not some little cat or dog!
- Hmm, Xiao Xi... You should rest for a while. It seems the princess is looking for me as her opponent, but Ive only practiced this briefly. Can I continue? If Xiao Xi competes, shell likely be more skilled than me, but were about evenly matched. And those green bean eyes... Well, Ill take it. Fortunately, Uncle Tian mentioned earlier about Xiao Qianlis abilities. If we can achieve perfect synergy, maybe theres still a chance. After all, whats meant to be will come!
"Um! Xiao Xi, let me-Your Highness the Princess!"
"Ah Jun..."
"Brother, dont let the girl provoke you!"
"Well... I have a number-you may not win by your words..."
"Well... this one doesnt seem to work, but I cant lose my momentum!"
Uncle Tian, please begin. Xiao Qianli, you must help me. I rely on you!
"Ah~"
-Hmph, watch closely... You brat, see how Ill beat you! Wait!
"Get ready, get ready!"
With the second gunshot from trainer Tian Ji, the highly anticipated and power-dominant revenge battle officially commenced. At that moment, the young princess let out a thunderous roar, and her partner, Jiyin, instantly accelerated to a speed that had completely transformed from her previous form-so rapid that it left a visible trail in the air.
- Wait for the surrender!
"Ah Jun, speed up, you are half a block behind!"
-Well, Xiao Xi, the Jiyin is BMWs fastest mid-range model. Do you think Im joking?
At this moment, Ah Jun and Xiao Qianli have given their all, but unfortunately, the strength of the opponent is too strong, so the gap is reasonable.
-Yings advantage is really obvious, but the first match must have taken a lot of her energy, so in the middle of the game she had to control the speed to keep her energy... this is my only chance!
"Xiao Qianli, you have to work harder. We only have one chance!"
Following his own strategy, Ah Jun began communicating with the horse on a spiritual level. The competitions success depended not only on timing but also on the partnerships harmony. From the trainer, he learned that when a rider and horse achieve spiritual connection and become one, the horses full potential can be unleashed.
So, if you want to win this game, you have to do this--of course, only Ah Jun is the most suitable, after all, he is deeply loved by the little animals, if it were Xiao Xi, then give up!
"Brother, its almost half, why dont you act yet?"
"Dont worry, the child will have his own idea, you should wait patiently!"
"Little Qianli!"
- Ah!
Hey, really... Ning er, look! Ajuns caught up with him!
- Well, the timing is perfect!
At this point, with a shout from Ah Jun, his partner, Xiao Qianli, exerted all his strength and released all the strength he had accumulated for a year--they kept chasing each other under the eyes of the crowd, and the gap was getting smaller and smaller.
"What? Impossible!
The princess, who had been leading by a wide margin and was confident of victory, had to accelerate again upon hearing the sound and sensing Ah Juns movements, hoping to widen the gap. However, as Ah Jun and his team had predicted, since Jiyin was not a stamina-driven horse, its current physical condition clearly could not sustain the princesss reckless pace.
So the two sides began to fight each other, and the little princess entered the sprint with a slight lead--so who will win?
--Obviously, it must be Ah Jun!
So, of course, the result is not yet known, and the process and result of the race are not simple--at the last moment of the finish line, the two are still in sync, but suddenly a gust of wind and sand, stirred up the whole course.
So did Ah Jun win or lose?
