C198 I Want a Horse
The moment the three of them set off, Lin Shulang firmly held the first position. Regardless of whether it was his familiarity with horses or the competition, he had a great advantage.
But even so, Wu Tianyu still followed behind him steadily. Anyone with a little bit of insight would be able to tell that what Wu Tianyu lacked in order to surpass Lin Shulang was just an opportunity.
However, what surprised everyone was that Azure Dragon Warlord's Ye Chen was three units behind Wu Tianyu. This made the surrounding audience feel incredulous.
One had to know that most of the people in Northern Gu had grown up on horseback. Since they were young, they had interacted with horses. Naturally, they could tell the huge gap between Ye Chen and Wu Tianyu, Wu Steel.
Lin Shulang looked back at Ye Chen, who was left behind, and laughed disdainfully. Hmph, what Azure Dragon Warlord? Wasn't he left behind by me? I want to see, what makes you think you can win today?
Lin Shulang was already very familiar with this competition. He was very clear that he would not make any mistakes and if this continued, even Wu Tianyu might not be able to surpass him.
Everyone felt sorry for Ye Chen, but they also thought of Ye Chen's Azure Dragon Army that protected the south. Riding a horse was not an advantage against the people from the north, and each of them had their own advantages and disadvantages.
However, in the audience, a middle-aged man stared fixedly at Ye Chen as the surprise in his eyes became more and more apparent.
"Tie Muzhen, no one in the entire Northern Ancient Kingdom can compare to your family. What do you think about this competition?"
This man was none other than the leader of the number one clan of the Northern Ancient Realm, the patriarch of the Ironwood clan, Tie Muzhen Anujin. The one who had asked him this question was none other than the patriarch of the second clan of the Northern Ancient Realm, Aligeran Mu Lun.
"Come from the back!" Tie Muzhen did not give a clear answer, but rather looked at Ye Chen and spoke softly.
"Oh, you mean you think very highly of Azure Dragon Warlord? But he's clearly lagging behind a lot! " Alligan stared at Ironwood Zhen in shock. As long as one wasn't a fool, one could tell that Ye Chen was the weakest right now.
"Hahaha, Ah Shi Lan, how about we make a bet?" Tie Muzhen looked at Adamantine with a provocative look in his eyes.
"Fine, that's not right. You have never been one to take advantage of others. You don't want to gamble." Just as he was about to agree, he suddenly thought of something that had happened in the past and changed his mind.
"Hahaha, you don't dare anymore, right? Let me tell you, Azure Dragon Warlord has already won this round. " Tie Muzhen let out a loud laugh, and there was an undeniable feeling within his words.
"Just where did you get your confidence from? Why are you so sure?" Lion Orchid was a person who would accept death. He immediately decided to get to the bottom of this.
However, Tie Muzhen shook his head and did not say anything else, quietly watching the match on the field.
Seeing that Tie Muzhen did not say anything else, Adolf could only look at the arena helplessly. With Tie Muzhen's reminder, he paid a lot of attention to Ye Chen.
At first, he had the same thoughts as everyone else, but the longer he looked at it, the more he realized that the problem was not as simple as he thought.
Logically speaking, in a horse race, once the gap was determined, the gap would become bigger and bigger. However, Ye Chen had always been at Wu Tianyu's three positions, regardless of the change in speed in front of him, he had always been at this position.
When she looked at the horse beneath Ye Chen, she was filled with shock. It was a Ferghana Horse!
The Ferghana Horse had an intense character, Ye Chen was just a Southerner. To be able to tame a Ferghana Horse in such a short period of time, it was evident how strong he was.
No wonder this person was so confident. He already saw through the problem. Azure Dragon Warlord was so terrifying.
Lin Shulang was so focused on the match that he didn't notice it at all. When they reached the last lap, he felt that victory was already right in front of him.
Ye Chen revealed a smile and kicked his legs. The horse he was riding suddenly accelerated and rushed to Lin Shulang's back.
The audience members who had felt sorry for Ye Chen earlier were all stunned. It was already the last lap, but Ye Chen's horse still had the strength to accelerate. What kind of horse was this?
Tie Muzhen and Adonis, who had already guessed the result, did not have any changes in their expressions. At this moment, they were staring at the confrontation between Ye Chen and Lin Shulang. They had heard many rumors, and they wanted to see how Ye Chen could surpass Lin Shulang.
But just when they were still thinking, Ye Chen pulled the reins and the horse he was riding jumped up. Taking advantage that Lin Shulang was not paying attention, it passed by and instantly arrived at the first position.
Everything happened in a split-second. Even Wu Tianyu didn't know what happened. By the time the two of them reacted, Ye Chen had already thrown out several positions.
Lin Shulang's expression changed and he hastily used his whip to give chase. However, his pure-blooded horse had exhausted all of its strength in front of him. How could it possibly catch a horse that was covered in sweat at this moment?
Just as he was in a hurry, Wu Tianyu also fiercely used his power and surpassed him in one go.2
He had been the last in first place, so how could he accept this? But now, he was powerless and could only watch as Ye Chen and Wu Tianyu scored the first and second place.
Seeing this result, Adonis' mind was also stirred. He then glanced at Ironwood Zhen. Luckily, he was not able to compare himself to this fellow. Their family's genius' genes were truly terrifying.
For a long time, Beiming Shang's family rankings had been changing, but the Clan's position as number one had never been shaken by any other family.
And the reason for all of this, other than the fact that several hundred years ago, an extraordinary person from the Ironwood Clan created a huge foundation for them, was also inseparable from their clan's outstanding genes. It could be said that every patriarch of the Ironwood Clan would be an unfathomable existence.
"The two of you, Warlord, are truly powerful. I, Lin Shulang, am willing to admit defeat. Don't worry, I will do what I say. Both of you, you two can raise a condition with me."
Lin Shulang glanced at Ye Chen in dissatisfaction. However, he couldn't go back on his words in front of Warlord, so he could only open his mouth to speak.
"Mr. Lin is indeed a great achievement for everyone. However, I might be able to steal someone's love today. I want a horse from this horse park."
