As the horses galloped, dust filled the air.
Waves of cheers continued to ring out, making the place seem extraordinarily lively.
Horse racing was a competition in the prairie, and it was also a form of tactical strength. It was one of the standards to measure the strongest warriors, and everyone loved this competition. When they saw the horse racing, they couldn't help but feel excited.
At this moment, Yang Wu and Huangfu Luozhong began their sprint. They were charging towards the obstacle that was the end of the line.
Yang Wu was riding on the Dragon Blooded Horse, a noble breed in the Barbarian Race. However, the Dragon Blooded Horse was a domesticated horse and not a wild one. Compared to Huangfu Luozhong's Wild Red Rabbithorse, the Dragon Blooded Horse lacked a natural wildness. When the two of them charged out, the Wild Red Rabbithorse displayed an extraordinary wildness. In the blink of an eye, the Wild Red Rabbithorse was half a body ahead of the Dragon Blooded Horse. Its galloping hooves brought up clouds of dust.
The Dragon Blooded Horse had its own pride, so it naturally wouldn't admit defeat. It continued to gallop.
The two horses galloped side by side at lightning speed.
Soon, the two of them encountered the first obstacle. There were antlers within a hundred feet of them, and if the Horse Demon couldn't jump over those antlers, it would injure the Horse Demon and affect its speed. This was the true test of their horsemanship.
"Monkey of the Great Xia Dynasty, I'll show you what true horsemanship is!" Huangfu Luozhong was already a horse's length ahead of Yang Wu. He turned around and looked at Yang Wu provocatively.
Immediately after, he and the Wild Red Hare had already arrived in front of the first row of antlers. Pulling the reins, the Wild Red Hare's front hooves leaped high into the air. Its body soared, and it nimbly jumped over the antlers. This was a very beautiful leap.
"Nice!"
The Barbarians cheered for Huangfu Luozhong.
Yang Wu and his Dragon Blooded Horse also charged over, and Yang Wu followed suit. He pulled the reins and jumped over the antlers with the Dragon Blooded Horse.
The Dragon Blooded Horse was a Demon General, so its ability to leap wasn't bad. It leaped high into the air.
However, its movements were not in sync with Yang Wu's. Yang Wu almost fell off the horse's back.
This was the first time Lin Yun had suffered a setback. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and returned to the Dragon Blooded Horse's back. However, the Dragon Blooded Horse was almost sent flying by the force of his fall.
"Wu wu!"
The Barbarian Tribe members let out mocking laughter.
"Haha, the monkeys of Great Xia don't know how to ride horses," Shi Lige said with a laugh.
"That's right. Luo Zhong will definitely win this battle." Huyan Shilang nodded.
"That's enough, you're not allowed to scold our esteemed guests. This is not how our clan treats our guests." Huangfu Mingyu reprimanded.
"I'll listen to the princess." Shi Lige didn't want to upset Huangfu Mingyu, so he nodded obediently.
During the competition, Huangfu Luozhong and his mount had already jumped over five layers of obstacles in a row. The distance between the obstacles behind them was getting closer and closer. They had to jump over twelve layers of obstacles in order to successfully reach the end.
After Yang Wu suffered a setback, he became more cautious and slowed down. He only managed to jump over three obstacles, and the obstacles behind were even harder to deal with. The wooden stakes were constantly swinging, and if he wasn't careful, they would fall on him and the Dragon Blooded Horse.
Huangfu Luozhong's mocking laughter could be heard, "Great Xia monkey, give up struggling. Be careful not to fall and turn into dog shit. Haha!"
Yang Wu was indeed a little sad. He thought that riding a horse was a competition of speed. Even if there were obstacles, the Dragon Blooded Horse would be able to deal with them easily. But now, it seemed that it wasn't the case.
"Dragon Blooded Horse, is there any way to surpass them?" Yang Wu asked as he caressed the Dragon Blooded Horse's neck.
The Dragon Blooded Horse was running with all its might as it carefully dealt with the obstacles. When it heard Yang Wu's question, it anxiously replied, "What can I do? I don't ride these things often, but the other party's horse clearly does. I can't compare to it!"
"You can't be so unambitious. We have to win!" Yang Wu said with certainty.
"I don't want to lose!" The Dragon Blooded Horse gloomily replied.
Yang Wu quickly racked his brain. He had to think of a way to win. He couldn't lose here.
At this moment, even if he had the ability, he couldn't let the Dragon Blooded Horse fly and surpass the other party.
Horsemanship was about horsemanship and experience. It was not something that could be solved by pure strength.
Seeing that Huangfu Luozhong had already run past the seventh obstacle, Yang Wu had a feeling of giving up. He thought to himself, "I've made the mistake of underestimating the enemy!"
Helplessly, Lin Yun could only circulate his energy to see if he could resonate with the Dragon Blooded Horse. With his senses, the obstacles ahead were too easy. He could easily jump over them, but it was a little difficult for the Dragon Blooded Horse. If he could transfer his energy to the Dragon Blooded Horse to increase its senses, it might be possible for him to catch up to them.
The Supreme Nine Profound Arts circulated in his body, but it couldn't connect with the Dragon Blooded Horse at all.
Thereafter, he tried to use the Dragon Turtle Water Suppressing Stance to see if it would work. This time, it really did work.
The Dragon Turtle Water Suppressing Stance was meant to absorb the water from the ground. The Dragon Blooded Horse that he was riding on had a trace of dragon's blood and water as a bridge to connect him to the ground. Although the absorption of water was greatly weakened, it still existed.
"Dragon Blooded Horse, try to sense your feet. I'll lend you a hand to win this competition!" Yang Wu said with excitement.
The Dragon Blooded Horse had become Yang Wu's bridge to the Dragon Turtle Water Suppressing Stance. Naturally, it could feel that its four legs had become lighter. It was as if there was some kind of energy being poured into its hooves, allowing it to gallop faster than usual.
"Watch me!" The Dragon Blooded Horse seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. Its speed and strength had increased by a lot. Its body had also become lighter, allowing it to gallop and dodge.
All of this was due to the connection between Yang Wu and the Dragon Blooded Horse. It was as if the two of them had a common consciousness. Yang Wu's senses had also increased, allowing the Dragon Blooded Horse to face the obstacles with ease. Dong!
Dong! Dong!
Yang Wu and the Dragon Blooded Horse quickly charged through two rows of obstacles. Their movements were carefree, and they were no longer in a sorry state like before. Instead, they looked like they were about to catch up.
The Barbarian Race was shocked. They never expected that Yang Wu would be able to find a connection with the Dragon Blooded Horse in such a short period of time. How fast was his comprehension ability?
To them, he was a natural-born knight.
"Isn't it a little too late to get used to the Dragon Blooded Horse now?" Shi Lige sneered.
"Indeed. If it was like this from the start, it would be hard to say who would win." Huyan Shilang nodded his head.
Huangfu Mingyu didn't express her opinion. She vaguely felt that the rider behind seemed to be close to becoming one with the horse. This was the best equestrian skill of the Barbarian Tribe and the realm they pursued. Generally speaking, to reach this realm, one must cultivate a deep relationship with the mount and have an excellent tacit understanding with it. Only then could one achieve this step.
Yang Wu and the Dragon Blooded Horse had only been together for a few days, so how could there be any relationship between them? She found it hard to believe that Yang Wu and the Dragon Blooded Horse had become one with the horse.
Indeed, Yang Wu and the Dragon Blooded Horse had become one with the Dragon Blooded Horse.
He had refined the blood essence of the old tortoise and the Ice Serpent. Coupled with the Dragon Tortoise Sea-Flipping Art, he was able to stimulate the aura of the Serpent Dragon. This aura was compatible with the trace of dragon blood in the depths of the Dragon Blooded Horse's body. This was the reason why the Dragon Blooded Horse was able to absorb the water underground to help it run faster.
As Lin Yun got more and more used to this feeling, he increased the speed and strength of his absorption. The water profound aura was like adding springs to the hooves of the Dragon Blooded Horse, helping it to gallop faster and faster.
Huangfu Luozhong and his Wild Crimson Hare had already passed eleven obstacles. They were very close to the final obstacle, and they weren't far from the finish line. He saw the dawn of victory and turned around to look at Yang Wu. Just when he wanted to mock Yang Wu, he realized that Yang Wu had already reached the tenth obstacle.
"So fast! Damn it!" Huangfu Luozhong cursed inwardly.
Suddenly, a wooden stake smashed towards him in mid-air. Fortunately, his reaction was not bad. His body fell backwards like an arch bridge and narrowly avoided the attack. Even so, he was still shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. If he had been a little slower, he would have been smashed.
The moment he made a small mistake, Yang Wu and the Dragon Blooded Horse closed the distance between them.
Huangfu Luozhong didn't dare to be distracted. He whipped the Wild Crimson Hare and roared, "Faster! Faster!"
He absolutely didn't want to lose this competition. Not only would he lose his combat weapon, but it was also a matter of dignity. His equestrian skills were well-known among the younger generation. If he were to lose to someone from Great Xia, where would he put his face?
The Wild Crimson Hare was indeed powerful. It grew up in the wild, and its speed wasn't something an ordinary horse demon could compare to. Under Huangfu Luozhong's whipping, its speed increased by a lot.
Yang Wu didn't have the time to pay attention to Huangfu Luozhong. He transferred the Dragon Blooded Horse's body with the Dragon Turtle Water Suppressing Stance and absorbed a lot of energy. However, it wouldn't be easy for him to obtain the embroidered ball when he was lagging behind. He needed to be faster.
At this moment, he circulated the Supreme Nine Mysteries Formula and combined it with the Dragon Turtle Water Suppressing Stance to absorb more energy. This was a method that he had been using all along.
Sure enough, after he did that, the Dragon Turtle Water Suppressing Stance's ability to absorb water soared once again. It was more than ten times faster than before.
"Hey, Master, I feel like I'm flying." After the Dragon Blooded Horse let out a long neigh, its four hooves seemed to have soared into the sky. Its speed soared to the limit, and many obstacles were no longer a problem.
"Haha, the embroidered ball is mine!" Huangfu Luozhong rode on the Wild Crimson Hare and leaped high into the sky. He was extremely excited and wanted to retrieve the embroidered ball that was hanging on the elevated platform.
But at this moment, a shadow rushed over from behind and landed on top of their heads one step faster.
