Tianma? Actually, I'm a doctor!

"We can only start working after the list is finalized."

"What's going on? Don't leave it too late, or you won't be able to finish it even if you work overtime."

Then, they saw the dark faces of the event staff.

It was as if something incredible was happening right in front of the eyes of these staff members who were contacting celebrity horse racing girls and keeping track of registrations for the races.

A member of the competition team immediately explained to them in a helpless tone.

"We also want to get the registration list, but the problem is... we can't get it at all!!"

"Of the twenty celebrity horse girls ranked in the voting popularity ranking, as many as fourteen have now directly and explicitly rejected the offer."

"Their reasons were more outrageous than the last. Some claimed to be mud runners, mile runners, long-distance runners! There were even some who claimed to be mares!"

"There are even some who say they haven't recovered after running a GII race for a month or two."

"Of the remaining six horse girls, only three, Pegasus Shirogane, Tokai Emperor, and Airi Hayabusa, decided to leave immediately. The remaining three hesitated, saying they were considering it, but it was obvious they hadn't found a suitable excuse to decline."

"All that's missing is someone saying I can only run short distances and obstacle courses, and then it's complete. I can run everything except middle distance, right?"

"In other words, the list we can currently give you is just those three!"

When these words were spoken!

The heads of the publicity team who had come to urge their colleagues not to slack off were all stunned when they heard this.

You know, horse girls like Mejiro McQueen, Mejiro Dober, Manchester Tea House, and Forest Treasure Cave all have the talent to win regular GI competitions.

Some have yet to win a championship, but that's not due to lack of talent; they're simply unlucky enough to have run into Pegasus Platinum. However, their talent and skill still make them worthy of their status as popular and star horse racing girls.

But now, most of those GI champions, those horsegirls who had reached the Pegasus Hall of Fame, had chosen... to avoid the competition? They had all bypassed the Takarazuka Kinen event, where Pegasus was open for registration?

This is—the deterrent power of Pegasus Platinum? !

"???"

"Huh? No, all those GI Championship horse girls are avoiding the competition?"

"Are you sure? Only Tachyon and Emperor have the courage to continue challenging Pegasus?"

Shocked!

When they heard the news, they were shocked!

Even the old people who have worked in URA for decades have never seen such a scene.

"No, buddy, I've been working here for over a decade and have been in charge of thousands of matches, but I've never seen anything like this."

"Yeah, at most I've only seen overweight racecourses in pouring rain, which scared off a few horse girls who had no idea how to race, causing at most three or five people to temporarily withdraw from the race."

"Tianma single-handedly persuaded the vast majority of horse girls to quit racing. Looking back at all the races in Japan over the past few decades... this has never happened before!"

At this moment, Tianma Baijin has done more than just break the perception of horse racing girls.

Even the official tournament staff, whose cognition was formed from decades of experience in organizing tournaments, had their ideas shattered by Platinum!

This large group of event staff felt as if the sky had...fallen in their hearts.

"As expected of a platinum with the title [Lunar Eclipse] corresponding to the Solar Eclipse."

"It reminds me of a solitary eclipse, or a fighter who can't go it alone and the match becomes a one-on-one duel."

Solar eclipse!

Fighter!

They are the best in history on grass and mud, and one is a peerless horse girl from a hundred years ago, which is called the ancient times, and the other is the peerless king who has reached the top of history in modern times.

"Platinum, she's done it! This is another great feat that only the Dirt GOAT Gladiator and the Grass GOAT Eclipse have ever achieved!"

Among the legendary deeds of Eclipse and the Gladiator, which are often talked about, there is this one.

That is - so powerful that opponents are frightened and avoid fighting or withdraw from the competition.

A hundred years before the solar eclipse, race distances and even regulations were different from modern competitions, with many ultra-long races of no less than six or seven thousand meters.

The rules of the competition at that time stipulated that when the losing horse girl fell behind and the gap in length between her horse and the first place winner reached a certain level, she would be penalized.

Eclipse's transcendental talent, coupled with the uneven strength of his opponents at the time, made for an extremely long race that would easily widen the gap between horses...

Therefore, when Eclipse transforms into a demon king, he can always easily gain a terrifying advantage that meets the conditions, and punish his opponents one after another with his absolute strength.

Finally... in some competitions, Eclipse could no longer find any challengers, and the situation evolved into Eclipse playing alone.

That’s right, walking alone.

In such a huge race, there was only one horse girl, Eclipse, and she was the only one crossing the finish line casually without any opponent.

After more than ten consecutive months, no horse girl was willing to compete with Eclipse, so she retired alone!

The situation of a solar eclipse is impossible to replicate nowadays.

This is because the race duration has been significantly shortened, turning it into a more entertaining middle-distance race that combines endurance and strength, rather than an ultra-long distance race.

Also, competitions in various countries no longer allow solo races, and at least two horse racing girls must be satisfied before the race can begin.

Platinum's presence scared more than a dozen horse girls away from the battle, leaving only the stubborn Elly Soko and the Emperor of the East Sea...

This kind of situation was only achieved by the two previous GOAT horse girls!

One of the event organizers couldn't help but sigh.

"In modern times, without a defeat penalty, the only one who could perform feats similar to the Solar Eclipse is that once-in-a-century super legendary fighter!"

20 championships and 1 runner-up in 21 fights is the fighter's legendary record.

The fighter had only one defeat in his career, and that loss was due to the negligence of the tournament officials, who started the match while the fighter was still in the preparation stage...

It's like the gates haven't even started yet, but other horse racing girls have already left the gates. That can't be described as being late at all.

In that case, the fighter ended up losing by just a neck and finishing in second place.

That defeat was not considered a dark history, but instead became one of the stories that was constantly passed down to later generations.

"The strongest fighter in the mud, a legend, on par with the Eclipse."

"And is it really possible for Eclipse and Pegasus Platinum to reach the level of being on par with those two?"

"Now it seems that this possibility already exists!!"

This is a view shared by more than a dozen event staff members in the office.

In Japan, who isn’t a platinum fan as long as they follow the competition?

Even though they knew how amazing the achievements of Eclipse and the Gladiator were!

At that time, the so-called most valuable American Triple Crown horse girl who appeared once in a decade was defeated head-on by the fighters.

There are also historical strongmen who have experienced countless battles in their careers. After discovering that the fighter wants to fight with him, he simply chooses to avoid the fight.

That dazzling power frightened all the horse girls in a fighter match so much that they all withdrew from the battle.

We have entered the modern game, and the competition system has also seen many updates, and it is no longer allowed for one person to play alone.

Therefore, after racking their brains, the event officials finally found an ordinary horse girl in a low-level event who had the courage to compete with the fighters.

The result was... the fighter won with a stunning [One Hundred Horse Body Lengths]! This established her as a legend among legends!

And now, having achieved two championships in one day and defeated at least world-class players on both grass and clay, Tianma Platinum is worthy of the name of Lunar Eclipse.

Platinum, who is already the [GOAT of Dual Wielding], if he continues to grow stronger, it is possible that he will reach the level of Eclipse and Fighter in the future!

"Right...yes! Since there are so few people, let's promote it in this direction!"

After listening to the discussion and thinking about it, one of the publicity team staff members suddenly had an idea and raised his index finger.

There is a way!

"Since there's no one, let's just focus on promoting it as no one."

The sword goes slanted!

Propaganda Platinum achieved the first case after Fighter to scare away all the Uma Musume in the audience!

"If we promote [Lunar Eclipse] and [Reprinted Solar Eclipse and Fighter], the effect will probably be much better than normal promotion, right?"

"A match between twenty horse girls might not attract any viewers, but a match between three horse girls is very likely to attract some viewers!"

When the other staff members heard this, they suddenly understood.

"Okay, this is the first time we've encountered this, so in turn, it must be the first time for the audience to encounter this!"

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Eclipse and the Fighter will return. Who wouldn't look forward to such a match?"

"This will be the GI event with the fewest participants in the world in the past ten years!"

"Platinum [The Last Dance], coupled with the replica of those two legendary feats, scaring the entire audience to only two opponents left, anyone who can resist watching this is a god!"

The leaders of the event group also nodded.

"Okay, then we'll postpone the last batch of Uma Musume and see if the next batch will avoid the battle."

"If you still want to avoid the fight, then our match list will be finalized and handed over to your publicity team."

"Tian Ma's last dance, we must be fully prepared. Okay, we will continue to contact you. You can come and get the list later."

So far, the black-hearted young doctor's last battle before transforming into Rinkou, and Tenma's last dance in Japan, the Takarazuka Memorial...

The number of participants is at an all-time low!!

------------------------------------

Three days later.

URA has officially announced the roster for the Takarazuka Kinen.

This is completely different from the previous densely packed lists of more than a dozen or twenty horse girls.

The current list is so short that it immediately became a hot search topic in Japan and even overseas countries as soon as it was announced!

【Takarazuka Memorial Participating List:】

[Most Popular: Platinum]

Second most popular character: Emperor of the East China Sea

【Third most popular character: Airi Hayabusa】

【THAN】

The list was extremely short compared to any previous one, which directly and easily shocked every viewer who paid attention to the Takarazuka Memorial list.

The current black-hearted young doctor is in the room, getting up early to prepare for work.

When he casually picked up his phone and saw the trending news about the Takarazuka Memorial List, his pupils shrank.

Originally, Lin Anran didn't care much about the lineup.

No matter how luxurious the lineup is, I won’t be too nervous or worried, and I won’t take it seriously.

But now... after seeing how short the list was, Lin Anran was stunned and even became interested.

"what?"

"No, just three people?"

"Excluding Platinum, wouldn't that leave only two others who didn't avoid the fight?"

Even Lin Anran had never seen such a scene.

Even in European competitions that set entry barriers with high registration fees, there will always be at least five or six, or seven or eight horse racing girls.

There were less than three palm strikes in this match... and it happened in a competition that was originally scheduled to have no less than ten or twenty participants!

This scene is too topical and controversial.

Lin Anran, who was interested, immediately clicked on the comment section under the news.

Soon, many excited Tianma fans were seen speaking.

"Eh? Is this true? There are only three Uma Musume running away to the GI competition Takarazuka Kinen?"

"Wait a minute, could this list have been uploaded by some temporary worker with some error?"

"Ms. Platinum is number one in the world!! I have to go watch the three-way GI showdown and see how Eclipse Pegasus shakes off my former idol, Miss Emperor!"

"As expected of Pegasus, this is clearly something only Eclipse and the Fighter could do to scare the whole crowd away! Only Tachyon and the Emperor could muster the courage not to shy away from a fight!"
