Lu Li held his breath and tightened his grip on Water Fairy's waist. Water Fairy didn't seem to notice either. She pursed her lips tightly and stared straight ahead. Her desire for victory was greater than anything else.
There were still three opponents in front of them!
"Forty yards to the left!" Lu Li's eyes lit up and he immediately shouted.
Water Fairy pulled her horse's head back without hesitation, and the galloping warhorse charged to the side.
A red Acceleration Ball was eaten, but because it wasn't running in a straight line, the distance between the three opponents widened. Moreover, the two opponents behind them overtook them, and they went from fourth to sixth place.
"We're almost at the finish line. What's the point of snatching an Acceleration Ball?!"
Someone in the audience couldn't help but curse. However, not many people agreed with him. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw Water Fairy's warhorse suddenly speed up again.
It was Sprint, which consumed a lot of the mount's stamina and increased the mount's speed from 100% to 120%.
Coupled with the Acceleration Ball, the warhorse's speed reached an unbelievable level.
"It's definitely more than 150%!"
One, two …
The two couples who had just overtaken Water Fairy and Lu Li were instantly overtaken by the Pegasus. The top three who had already pulled away from them were gradually closing in on each other as the Pegasus accelerated. If there were no accidents, the top three would be caught up.
This was because their speed could only be considered normal, which was a 100% acceleration. How could it compare to 150%?
Perhaps it was because they felt the increasing pressure and thought of the irresistible reward of being the champion, two Skill Points and two pieces of Legendary equipment. Just the two pieces of Legendary equipment were enough to make people go crazy, not to mention the priceless Skill Points.
The two at the bottom of the ranking gritted their teeth and started Sprint.
They slowly caught up to the first place, forcing the first place to sprint together. The finish line was in sight anyway, and it would only take them a few dozen seconds to reach it.
However, this did not stop Water Fairy and Lu Li from approaching. This was because not only were they sprinting, but they also had acceleration balls.
Just when everyone thought that Water Fairy and Lu Li were about to catch up and overtake the three opponents in front of them, Lu Li suddenly shouted, "Stop sprinting." Water Fairy did not hesitate to stop sprinting, and the warhorse returned to its normal speed. However, the effect of the acceleration ball had not completely disappeared, so the distance between them and the opponents in front of them was still closing.
This distance lasted for two seconds before disappearing. Lu Li and Water Fairy's speed had returned to 100%.
The three in front were faster than them, and the distance between them slowly widened again.
Seeing them stop, the three mounts in front immediately forgot about them. However, all three of them were sprinting for the championship. Even without Lu Li and Water Fairy's pressure, no one was willing to slow down.
There was only one champion!
If they slowed down and the other two did not, then they would be third place. Although the third place would be rewarded with skill points, who wouldn't want some equipment? Even if they could not win the championship, the second place would still have two more dark gold equipment.
In this situation, the three of them could not stop sprinting.
The three Sprinting mounts were about to reach the finish line, and there were at least ten seconds left.
Suddenly, one of the mounts slowed down as if it had hit an air wall, followed by the other one. Finally, even the third one followed suit.
"No more stamina," someone said softly, solving everyone's doubts.
That's right, sprinting consumed too much stamina, so they could not keep using it. Sometimes, in order to recover stamina, they even needed to run at a low speed for a certain distance to recover stamina.
In order to win the championship, these three children had already forgotten about their stamina.
However, they were already close to the finish line. Even if they were advancing in a low state, the opponents behind them could not catch up — except for Lu Li and Water Fairy who were behind them.
They were getting closer and closer!
When there were only seven or eight seconds left, Lu Li patted Water Fairy's shoulder and said one word — Sprint!
Cupid's love pegasus suddenly sped up and galloped past!
Rushing to the finish line!
Colorful fireworks bloomed at the finish line, surrounding Lu Li and Water Fairy. The pegasus that followed them to the finish line rose into the air.
Champion!
Following closely behind them was a mount that ran for a few seconds, recovered some stamina, and then sprinted again.
Second place!
The two mounts behind them reacted and rushed past the finish line one after the other.
More and more people rushed past the finish line, but they were at most given a little encouragement. They had no chance of getting skill points.
People's attention was often focused on the success of a few people. Speed was the key to getting the most chicken soup for the soul. Tens of thousands of contestants served as a gloomy backdrop, serving as a contrast to the few in front — or rather, the pair riding on the pure white Pegasus — who were in high spirits.
"Thank you for believing in me …" Lu Li hugged the girl in his arms and let out a long sigh of relief.
He was really worried that Water Fairy would continue to be arrogant. If they did not eat the acceleration ball, it would be very difficult for them to surpass the three people in front. If they sped up, they would also fall into an awkward situation like the opponents in front of them.
Although he was semi-illiterate, Lu Li was more observant than the average person.
It was the kind of observation that was calmer the more nervous he was. His brain worked quickly, imagining every possible outcome, and finally came up with the only way to win.
"What did you say just now? I didn't hear it. I won the race with my own ability." Water Fairy snorted and struggled in Lu Li's arms to turn her head.
Lu Li was confused, but he quickly found a way to retaliate.
He kissed Water Fairy's lips that were vaguely hidden under the veil. Their breaths intertwined. Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of millions of spectators.
Strange cries rang through the entire island!
"You … you pervert, there are so many people here." Water Fairy was embarrassed. Although she was not a bashful person, and sometimes she was particularly tough, she was still a girl.
"What are you afraid of? We're both masked, so no one knows who we are," Lu Li said, not caring at all.
He was thick-skinned, but he wasn't thick-skinned enough to kiss his girlfriend in front of the whole world. The main thing was that the two of them were both masked and riding mounts that they had just obtained. There was no third person who would know.
As for the people who were watching them, especially the millions of people who had their eyes on them, they all began to crazily spit out a few words.
Candle!
Cheating couple!
Heartache!
"Candle for Lu Li. We might never see Lu Li again. Rest in peace."
"I hope there's no domestic violence in heaven!"
"What a flash in the pan. In just two short years, he brought Ruling Sword to the top, but he died because of his playfulness."
"I heard that he has a beautiful sister, so I helped him take care of her …"
"I helped him take care of his girlfriend …"
