The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1553 - 754 Complete Victory! (Second Update)_2
Chapter 1553: 754 Complete Victory! (Second Update)_2
The sixteen-year-old horse was no longer good for much.
If it were with the Han Family, with a skilled horse trainer it might have been possible to extend its service life, but in the hands of an ordinary child, it was no different from trash.
It wasn’t clear if the horse could sense the crowd’s sentiment, or if it itself had realized the age of the Hei Fengqi king.
What did being a king matter?
It was old after all.
The young and strong were the victors on the Battlefield!
The Battlefield belonged to them!
"Everything’s ready."
With the examiner’s shout, several people stood in front of their respective fire bridges.
In a sense, the Cavalry on either side had a bit of an advantage, affected only by one side, while the Cavalry in the center were caught between both sides, bearing the greatest impact on the horses.
Gu Jiao was on the third fire bridge, with a Geng Family expert on her left and another person riding a Hei Fengqi on her right.
The overall length of the fire bridge and the Baopo District was the same, but not necessarily in the same position, like some fire bridges started at thirty paces and ended at seventy, while others started at ten and ended at fifty.
The Baopo District was the same.
This would cause great interference to the horses.
Gu Jiao clenched the reins in her hand and gently stroked the neck of the Hei Fengqi king.
The Hei Fengqi king was very calm.
In comparison, the other horses were champing at the bit, seemingly more ready to charge into battle than it.
It really did look old, indifferent to the dangers around it.
"Will it get burned to death if it can’t make it over later?"
"It won’t be burned to death, but it might get burned."
"It looks like it’s struggling; is it so old that it can’t move at all?"
The murmurs of disapproval came from around them, and no one had high hopes for the sixteen-year-old Hei Fengqi king anymore.
The Geng Family expert said to Han Che, "It seems the victor of this round will be between you and me!"
Han Che said arrogantly, "You are wrong, there’s no chance for you!"
The Geng Family expert replied coldly, "We shall see!"
The gong sounded, and the race began.
The horses tensed their muscles and leaped forward, racing ahead!
This was the round with the highest overall quality of horses, four out of six were Hei Fengqi, and the other two were also trained powerful Warhorses.
They were swift and agile, unstoppable!
However—
Gu Jiao’s horse didn’t move.
Everyone: "..."
Was it scared?
Or was it really suffering from dementia?
"Look! Han Che’s horse has come out of the fire bridge!"
Han Che was in the lead, crossing the fiercely burning fire bridge.
His fire bridge was the closest, so being the first to cross wasn’t surprising, but his agile figure and skilled horsemanship still delighted everyone.
Some admired, "Worthy to be the brother of Han’s Young Master, this is the skill expected of the Lord of the Hei Feng."
The other four horses also gradually started crossing their respective fire bridges.
Gu Jiao and the Hei Fengqi king became the laughingstock of the entire field.
Were these two here to be clowns?
The race was pretty much over—
Everyone was laughing when suddenly a dark shadow flashed by, so fast it was almost impossible to catch.
Everyone was stunned.
"What just went by?"
"Didn’t... didn’t see—"
"Ah— the kid’s gone!"
The person and horse that had been standing still had vanished.
"Look! Up, up, up—"
Before the word "fire bridge" could be completed, the Hei Fengqi king and Gu Jiao had already charged off the fire bridge.
The Hei Fengqi king caught up to the first opponent, leaving him far behind!
The Hei Fengqi king passed the second opponent.
The third, the fourth!
All the other horses suddenly seemed to be moving in slow motion.
In fact, it wasn’t that they had slowed down, it was that the Hei Fengqi king was too fast!
Say it’s old?
Say it can’t run?
Then let these kids have a half-course head start!
The terrifying explosive power of the Hei Fengqi king left everyone dumbfounded; its muscles were taut, and as it ran, the flowing lines of muscle definition were clearly visible, a symbol filled with strength.
Han Che was in the lead, soon to reach his Baopo District.
He had glanced over earlier and had left the second place far behind.
He was certain to be the first—
With a loud bang, Han Che’s heart skipped a beat!
The Hei Fengqi wasn’t startled, after all, it was trained, but Han Che who was unprepared almost fell from his horse!
"Who the hell—"
As Han Che turned his head to look, the Hei Fengqi king rushed into the Baopo District of the third track.
The blastings were continuous, with gunpowder smoke billowing and dust flying. It was moving so fast that the frequency of the blasts it triggered was high.
It was akin to setting off firecrackers, crackling wildly, throwing the rhythm of the entire race into chaos.
