Chapter 1352: 657 Overwhelming Strength! (Double Update)_2 Chapter 1352: 657 Overwhelming Strength! (Double Update)_2 Han Che recognized the student on the horse, and then he was completely flabbergasted!

Isn’t this kid called what’s-his-face? Xiao Liulang, right? Are you here to play cuju or to play matchmaker?!

“Damn!” Jing Er Ye spat out his mouthful of tea on the stands.

How can there be such an eye-sore of a horse?

Has Tianqiong Academy changed their tactics, if they can’t outrun you, they’ll blind you with brightness?

Miao Ruoxin quietly covered her mouth with her handkerchief, obviously thinking that Gu Jiao was causing a scene. Riding such a horse to play cuju, whose face was she throwing away?

Making herself look like a ridiculous clown.

The Duke in the wheelchair suddenly looked uneasy, his hand tightly gripping the armrest, the force causing his arm to tremble slightly.

Miao Ruoxin noticed his odd behavior and hurriedly asked, “Duke, what’s the matter? Do you not want to watch anymore?”

Jing Er Ye glanced at the horse, then at his big brother, and said, “My big brother really can’t watch this, that Safflower is worn askew, with pigtails on one side and none on the other, it’s distressing for him to see.”

Miao Ruoxin was tongue-tied. Does the Duke also have this quirk?

Everyone took their positions, and the match began, with Tianqiong Academy kicking off.

The cuju players of Tianqiong Academy spurred their horses to the side.

One of Pingyang Academy’s cuju players chuckled and said to Han Che, “Look, their horses are shivering more than they did in the first half.”

Another cuju player looked and found it to be true, scoffing, “Isn’t that because we scared them? Now they start quaking at the mere sight of us.”

“Our horses seem to be shivering a bit too.”

“That’s the shiver of excitement!”

The people from Tianqiong Academy fell into a collective silence. Although it was hard to recognize, compared to a stallion, it looked more like a mare, but at least it was their Academy’s mount, and they still recognized it.

Mu Chuan muttered softly, “Why did you ride this one here? Can’t you see our own horses can hardly move?”

Gu Jiao was a bit puzzled. Huh, even armored like this, you can still recognize it? Do these horses have some special horse-recognizing skill?

Gu Jiao said, “But there isn’t a fiercer horse than this one.”

Mu Chuan dared not raise his voice, for fear that the people from Pingyang Academy would overhear. He clenched out a few words through his teeth, “But how are we going to fight later on?”

Gu Jiao thought for a moment, “Later on, you guys stay a little farther away from me.”

Yuan Xiao kicked off.

Gu Jiao switched places with Mu Chuan, with Mu Chuan going to be the deputy striker.

Yuan Xiao kicked the ball beautifully, drawing a graceful and crisp arc in the air.

He was directing the shot toward Mu Qingchen, and it seemed Pingyang Academy had anticipated his move, with two cuju players chasing after Mu Qingchen.

In terms of speed, their Hei Fengqi wouldn’t lose to Tianqiong Academy’s horses.

But running along, something started to feel off.

Whoosh!

A dark blur whizzed by them!

The speed was so fast it could only be described as a blur, and the two players were stunned for a second.

Wait, was it that ugly horse?

Could it run like that?

Heh, like we’re using full speed, okay?

“Go!”

The two players, in perfect harmony, pushed their horses to go faster. Yet no matter how they accelerated, they fell further and further behind that black and ugly horse.

Han Che frowned.

Such a fast horse!

A rider leaving all behind in dust.

Then, Mu Qingchen got to the ball, with the stallion chasing right behind Mu Qingchen’s mount, which was now running as though its life depended on it, charging forward with all its might!

“Fourth Brother!”

Mu Chuan waved at Mu Qingchen while spurring his horse on.

Mu Qingchen timed Mu Chuan’s speed and hit the ball ahead of Mu Chuan with his stick.

The spot was very close to Pingyang Academy’s goal hole. As long as Mu Chuan caught the ball, this flag would be theirs.

Han Che and his teammate sandwiched Mu Chuan from both sides.

Mu Chuan looked back and shouted, “No way! Why are you all coming at me?”

His horse was no match for their Hei Fengqi, he couldn’t outrun them!

As expected, Han Che overtook Mu Qingchen, reaching for the ball that was falling from the sky with his stick—to hit the ball—

…He didn’t touch the ball.

His horse suddenly veered off course!

He swayed, nearly being thrown off by his own mount!

What’s going on? Who told you to run wild?

The horses used for cuju are all trained rigorously over a long period and are familiar with every command of their owners, never easily defying their master’s orders.

Yet, this wasn’t the most astonishing part. On the other side, despite having dealt with one Han Che, Mu Chuan still didn’t catch the ball.
