“I see.” Xu Ran nodded, hope gleaming brighter in his eyes.

Riding such a big creature while flying, it must feel incredible!

Just as he was about to move forward, he felt a tug at his pants leg.

It was Ziyun, who was somewhat nervous, and was holding onto his pant leg, afraid to venture forward.

Xu Ran blinked.

Right, Ziyun had never experienced flying before.

It would be somewhat nervous for the first attempt.

“Don’t be scared!” He squatted down, gently stroked Ziyun’s head and said with a smile, “You’re already an elite level pet beast. What is there to be afraid of flying?”

“Meow!” (That’s right!)

Upon hearing Xu Ran’s words, it seemed to make some sense to Ziyun.

It let go off the pant leg it was holding, hesitated for a moment, and followed Xu Ran towards the Tearing Wind Hawk Lion.

Soon after, the two of them, along with their pet, sat comfortably on the back of the giant beast. They all fastened their seat belts, including Ziyun.

The other passengers had also gradually taken their seats on different Tearing Wind Hawk Lions, waiting for the race to begin and the moment when they would take off to watch the race.

“Prepare yourselves-” From the starting point, the referee’s command echoes through the air, as the highly intelligent horse-type pet beasts prepared to start.

The crowd watching from afar began to be silent. The feeling of anticipation filled the air.

“Three…”

“Two…”

“One…”

“Beep     ”

After a count of three, a piercing whistle split through the silence.

All thirty-one Horse Beasts at the starting point dashed off at the same time. Xu Ran on the empty ground nearby only felt a sudden movement beneath him before he was lifted rapidly into the sky.

His gaze floated over the crowd, focusing on the Horse Beasts that had just started running.

“Meow!” (Ah, we’re flying!)

Ziyun’s eyes darted around in surprise and fear. Only after realising that it was safe, bound securely to the beast, did it gradually relax and start enjoying the view from the air with interest.

On the track, each Horse Beast showcased its power in dramatic fashion.

However, a few stood out from the crowd.

In the lead, surpassing all others by a body’s length from the start, was a beast named Amazing. A golden path extended from its hooves, as if it was treading on light, moving at an astonishing speed.

This was a Light Attribute two-star skill, Waning Moon Level – Path of Light!

Right behind it, not losing any more distance, was a horse-type pet beast named Angry Thunder. Each step it took sparked electric flashes that exploded around, sparking off the ground.

This was a Thunder Attribute two-star skill, Waning Moon Level – Thunder Step!

This skill gave it a speed boost and had a special effect that the Path of Light did not have – it could disrupt other competitors.

The sparking electricity did not cause much damage, but it was enough to affect the states of the horses nearby. The complaints came from the backs of several Tearing Wind Hawk Lions, and the horses near Angry Thunder quickly moved away from it.

In addition to these, the other horses also showed their prowess. Some had flames spurting behind them, pushing them forward like a rocket, while others rode wild winds, letting out neighs as they overtook one competitor after another.

But Chasing Wind seemed to have fallen behind from the start.

Compared to the other Horse Beasts, it did not seem to be displaying any skill at the moment. Instead, it seemed to be running purely on physical power.

“Uncle Xu, what’s the situation with Chasing Wind?” Xu Ran couldn’t help but turn to Xu Kun.

“Don’t worry.” Watching Chasing Wind trail behind, Xu Kun did not look anxious at all. He gave a small smile, “By the way, I never introduced Chasing Wind’s skill to you, did I, Boss Xu?”

“That’s right, you didn’t.” Seeing Xu Kun so calm, Xu Ran became curious, “Does Chasing Wind have any special skills?”

“Indeed, it does.” Xu Kun pointed at Chasing Wind, “Boss Xu, do you see the light film on Chasing Wind’s body?”

“Yes, I see it.” Xu Ran looked closer, then nodded.

Right now, Chasing Wind was covered in a layer of light blue energy film over its red body. This light film was very faint and under the blazing sun, it wasn’t very conspicuous.

If Xu Kun hadn’t pointed it out, he might not have noticed it at all.

“Chasing Wind has a skill called Pulse of Wind.” Xu Kun said confidently, “In the last horse race, it won the championship by using this skill.”

“What does this skill do?” Xu Ran became more and more curious.

From Xu Kun’s explanation, Chasing Wind was currently using this skill called Pulse of Wind.

With it, could Chasing Wind catch up with the competitors in front?

“Pulse of Wind can sense the traces of the wind, gaining the enhancement of the wind, and can accumulate continuously.” Xu Kun laughed, “In the process of running, Chasing Wind’s speed will get faster and faster.”

“Just watch, Boss Xu!”

Almost the instant Xu Kun finished speaking, Xu Ran opened his eyes wide.

The light film, which needed careful observation to notice before, could now be easily seen.

Its color was getting richer, and Chasing Wind’s speed was visibly accelerating.

Less than a minute into the race, the horse beasts on the field had already run a kilometer, their steadied paces had been drastically altered.

Now, the distance between Chasing Wind and the second-to-last was rapidly decreasing!

There was a horse about three meters tall with lean and agile physique. Its four earthy yellow hooves were wider than those of other horses, and every time it stepped on the ground, faint ripples spread out, giving it stronger rebound power.

Two stars earth attribute skill: Starlight Level Earth Pulse!

“Don’t even think about it!” Another shout came from the back of a Tearing Wind Hawk Lion not far away. The Beast Master of this earth attribute horse-type pet beast swiftly gave instructions to speed up, and the horse beast below quickly accelerated.

The ripples on the ground became more intense, and the astonishing rebound power allowed it to leap the height of its own body with every step.

The sudden increase in speed not only maintained its distance from Chasing Wind but also gradually closed the gap with the third-to-last horse.

“That’s right, charge!” The Beast Master of the earth attribute horse beast was overjoyed and shouted excitedly.

His eyes were firmly locked on the third-to-last horse beast, and he tightly clenched his fists as he watched the distance between his horse beast and it gradually shorten.

Ten meters … five meters …

He did it! They overtook it!

Watching the three horse beasts run side by side, his horse was gradually overtaking the previous third-to-last, this Beast Master swung his fist into the air. Then, his expression stiffened a bit.

Wait a minute… why were there three horse beasts?

On a closer look, his expression changed drastically.

His horse beast had successfully overtaken the third-to-last, but at the same time, Chasing Wind, which was originally at the very end, had also surpassed the other two.

Its speed was becoming increasingly terrifying, and now it was rapidly approaching the fourth-last horse beast.

So… after their burst of speed, they were still second to last?!

The Beast Master of the earth attribute horse beast wore a losing-expression.

Horse racing was too terrifying, he wanted to go home!

“Well done, Chasing Wind!”

As Chasing Wind easily overtook the fourth horse and then approached the fifth, Xu Ran’s spirit was ignited, and he cheered from the back of the Tearing Wind Hawk Lion.

Ziyun, who was gradually getting used to the high-altitude, seemed quite thrilled as well and started calling out to Chasing Wind down below.

“Meow meow meow!” (Keep going, keep going!)

“This is just the beginning!” Xu Kun laughed heartily, “Boss Xu, isn’t it more exciting to watch Chasing Wind’s race than the other horses?”

“Indeed.” Xu Ran nodded earnestly.

The other horses had opened the gap right at the beginning, and their rankings hadn’t changed much since then. Although the race was intense, there wasn’t much suspense.

But watching Chasing Wind overtake from the very last, now that was truly thrilling!

As Chasing Wind successfully overtook the fifth horse, the Beast Masters of the other horse beasts gradually noticed something unusual about Chasing Wind.

Unlike Xu Ran, they were no strangers to this champion from the last tournament.

Therefore, all Beast Masters’ faces became grim.

Even the Beast Master of Amazing, who was in the lead, over a hundred meters ahead of Angry Thunder, the second in ranking, was no exception!

They all knew that Chasing Wind’s counterattack was about to begin!

Only by keeping their spots can they have the last laugh!
