As soon as An fixed the reins on the chariot, he immediately whipped the Canzer forward.


    They watched as An''s chariot raced out of the Colosseum and onto the racing streets at zing speeds. His wooden wheels barely even touched the ground as the Giraffe-Horse Canzer rocketed through the air.


    "Holy! How is he so fast?!"


    "That''s twice as fast as all the other mounts! How did no one discover this Pseudo Canzer?"


    "That doesn''t matter now. I just can''t believe how lucky our Star Porter is! I think he has a chance to pass the others!"


    It was so fast that even the invisible camera that fed the video to the screen in the Colosseum was left in the dust. It took a few seconds before it was able to calibrate An''s speed and finally focus the camera onto him.


    When the rest of the spectators looked at the Giraffe-Horse Canzer, they didn''t see any speedy qualities about it. It didn''t even have as much chitinous armor as the other Canzers still in the arena. So, when they saw that An subdued this one, they all thought that it was one of the weakest Canzers out of everything.


    They thought that An was forced to use this steed because it was the only one that he could catch.


    But they couldn''t be more wrong.


    It turned out that this Giraffe-Horse was the fastest out of every Pseudo Canzer in thepetition! It was so fast that if An had subdued this monster earlier, then they wouldn''t have any doubts whether he would win thepetition. They were sure that if An got to the race first, then he would be able to do ap before the others could even get onto the track.


    And even though he started sote, some still believed that he had a chance to win the whole thing!


    "Go Porter! Look, he''s not going to best. He''s already catching up to thest in the pack!"


    The one who bet 1000 Venunum on An cingst went silent. He was upset that he would lose the bet, but if he saw An finish first, then he wouldn''t even be mad at that point.


    He watched as An got ready to overtake a chariot.


    The guy in second tost ce was a Genesian with a B ss Monk LifeSkill. He was dealt a bad hand and subdued a very slow Canzer. So, he knew that he didn''t have any chance topete for a podium finish. He consoled himself that he wasn''t going to finishst.


    However, it looked like he celebrated a little too early.


    He suddenly heard intense hoof beats behind him, even making his chariot tremble and wobble. When he looked back, he was surprised to see someone suddenly hot on his tail.


    That was impossible! From what he saw just a few moments earlier, there wasn''t anybody behind him. He even thought that thest guy couldn''t subdue a Canzer and just gave up in the arena. But then, he suddenly saw An piercing through the air like a rocket to catch up to him.


    He was rmed. Not to mention the fact that An looked like he teleported behind him, he found that An and his Giraffe-Horse mount were only moments away from overtaking him!


    The Giraffe''s upper body had its long neck outstretched forward like ance. It speared through the air and created less air resistance for the chariot, allowing it to go to speeds he didn''t even think possible.


    The man was so shocked that he forgot to do anything. He just stood there, holding onto the reins of his steed, letting An go past him.


    Now, An was in 17th ce. But he didn''t stop there.


    The Canzer zoomed through the track, speeding past district after district. He was fast during the straight part of the race, but the next part had a sharp turn to the right which already imed two chariots. If he didn''t slow down for this part, then his chariot would surely crash through the apartment building like the unlucky two from before.


    His chariot was made out of wood. With just one crash, his whole chariot could splinter into a million pieces, giving him no chance to continue the race.


    "What is he doing?! Why is he not slowing down?"


    "You''ll crash into pure steel, my man! Slow down!"


    But instead of slowing down like the rest of thepetitors, An kept going towards the corner at the Canzer''s top speed!


    They all thought that An lost control of his steed, but then, they saw him suddenly climb out of his chariot and jump towards the Giraffe-Horse Canzer! He stood upright as he grabbed the Giraffe''s mane and pulled its head up.


    Then, with one hand on the Giraffe''s head and the other on its torso for stability, An bent its neck to the side just at the moment when the road turned a 90-degree angle.


    "There''s no way he''s going to—"


    Everyone in the arena watched with their jaws dropped as the Giraffe''s head suddenly caught onto one of themp posts on the side of the street.


    As their momentum pushed them forward, the chariot suddenly rotated about themppost while floating one meter in the air. The Giraffe''s head was caught onto the pole!


    With their speed almostpletely preserved, An''s chariot turned the corner and bounced on the streets.


    Everyone watching this couldn''t believe the guts and ingenuity behind this move. Who would have thought to use a Giraffe''s long head as a way to pivot through a sharp turn? Nobody.


    An then jumped back down to his wooden chariot and continued directing the Canzer around the obstacles in the street.


    Some of the otherpetitors could never pull a stunt like An did, so they were forced to slow down their chariot to a crawl and safely turn to the right. However, this cost them a lot of speed–speed that was hard to recover because of their Canzer''s slow eleration.


    So, they were simply dumbfounded when An''s squeaking chariot rocketed past them with no warning whatsoever.


    With just that one move, An was now in 12th ce.
