The polo ball was snatched by another player from Pingyang Academy.
This player tightened the reins, planning to turn around and leave, intending to drive the polo ball into Tianqiong Academy’s goal.
But before he could move, his horse shuddered as if it had suffered a great fright.
Caught off guard, he trembled along with it, and the ball slipped away.
Mu Chuan decisively hooked the ball over and scored with one shot!
The referee announced, "Tianqiong Academy scores one flag!"
In the stands, a student from Lingbo Academy clapped his hands, "Wow! Scoring a flag right at the start, that was so quick!"
His companion said, "Just now, Pingyang Academy didn’t score this easily, did they?"
Zhong Ding lifted his chin, saying with pride, "That’s our academy!"
A disdainful voice came from behind, "So what? Aren’t you still trailing Pingyang Academy by eleven flags? Can you even catch up?"
Zhong Ding and Zhou Tong turned around to look.
It’s a student from Wuyue Academy, no wonder.
Zhou Tong stood up straight and said, "We will not lose! Just you wait and see!"
They were no longer the weak scholars who were bullied by others!
A student from Wuyue Academy mocked, "What if you lose?"
Zhou Tong rolled up his sleeves, "If we lose, we’ll kowtow to you and call you ’daddy’! If we win, you guys will kowtow to us and call us ’daddy’!"
"Heh, don’t you regret it later!"
The match continued.
The Hei Fengqi horses, strictly speaking, were also descendants of the wild horse king, but after being bred in captivity, they’d lost much of their wild nature, unlike the horse king who had grown up with his wildness, his entire being exuding the aura of a wild horse monarch.
The horses of Tianqiong Academy did not dare approach it, and although Hei Fengqi were said to be braver, they didn’t fare much better.
Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded; Gu Jiao riding the horse king was like a big gray wolf entering a flock of sheep, wherever she went, the flock scattered!
Gu Jiao simply stopped competing for the ball, she had only one objective—chase down Pingyang Academy’s Hei Fengqi horses!
If chasing one wasn’t enough, she chased two, if two weren’t enough, she chased three.
The horse king was full of energy, not tired in the slightest!
Mainly because this was way more fun than pulling a millstone!
And no need for braided hair buns either!
Recalling his own mundane and boring life of pulling millstones, the horse king decided to cherish these hard-won moments of brief joy.
In the end, everyone saw Gu Jiao chasing after four horses all by herself, leaving Hei Fengqi riders nearly in tears!
During the match against Qingyue Academy, Gu Jiao had played seriously, but in this game, she was equally serious about causing trouble, leaving Pingyang Academy in complete disarray!
"Referee! She’s breaking the rules!" complained a student from Pingyang Academy.
