Tianma? Actually, I'm a doctor!

The scorching sun shining high in the sky spread its rays, and the shadowy figure of the young girl knight actually reached the finish line with the Great Wilderness Starfall!

"hiss--!!"

"I thought that after Miss Platinum retired, such stunning special effects would be completely extinct in the arena. I've heard that Mud Pegasus also has special effects, but I didn't expect it to be on par with Miss Platinum."

"Wow, this is so shocking and outrageous! The Pegasus from the mud is so powerful?!"

"Mud Pegasus, what is her relationship with Grass Pegasus? If they could have a child... would they inherit their strength and their special effects?!!"

“Lin Guang!! Lin Guang!!”

"Wow!! Seeing these stunning special effects is worth the price of admission, even if it means death!"

There is no doubt that Lin Guang's display of the wilderness starfall special effects successfully surprised and attracted many spectators on the grass field.

Normally, when the noises erupted from the outside world, the shadow of the young knight should have dissipated.

But then, a scene unfolded that shocked countless spectators in the stands, commentators on the stage, and retired horsegirls like Fighter and Seabiscuit.

The shadowy figure of the young knight, whose sword and spear were enough to change the celestial phenomena, turned her gaze back at the arena behind her with her divine orange eyes.

In the next second, the eyes of the young knight's shadow were fixed on the seats reserved for the female horse racers participating in the Breeders' Cup. Among the hundreds of GI competition contestants in the past ten games, her eyes were fixed on a slightly petite platinum champion.

Eyes...looking into each other's eyes!

The Breeders' Cup is not just a single competition. With so many events taking place in one day, it is naturally impossible for the contestants to immediately jump into the Winners' Stage after one event.

After all, no matter how powerful the American event officials are, they cannot have the ability to collectively transfer such a large number of spectators to many different venues in a short period of time. The cost is too high and it will affect the ratings of subsequent events.

This kind of thing, which comes at a very high cost but brings no benefit, and uses their own winner's stage to steal attention from their subsequent competitions, is something that even Japan's URA can't do, let alone the well-developed European and American competitions!

In tournaments with multiple GIs in a single day, the winners' stage is often held the following day or even several days later. After the competition, Uma Musume contestants can simply leave the venue, either directly in the dedicated contestant seating or lounge.

As long as their performance is not too bad and far from their expectations, or they have no obvious injuries, most horse girls are willing to stay and watch the game to the end, which naturally includes Tenma Platinum who is completing her retirement game.

After all...he has come.

The more exciting the game is, the more likely it is to have a finale at the end. Wouldn't it be a shame to leave and not watch it?

This is why so many horse racing girls stayed after the race to watch this final Breeders' Cup Classic.

Even the astronomer who lost fifty horse lengths in Platinum's retirement match, a defeat equivalent to "ten Yamato Akagi" in one match, stayed!

And now, all the top horse racing ladies competing in the Breeders' Cup noticed that the majestic and vast figure of the female knight, who was as majestic as a god, was casting her gaze towards them.

"Eh, eh? Have you looked here?"

"Is she looking at me? Or is she looking at... Bai Jin who is beside me?"

"Here we go, the eye contact of the century! But why is it not the Brilliant Knight Lin Guang who is looking at Bai Jin, but the phantom?"

"Is it my illusion? Why does it feel like this shadow of Lin Guang has consciousness? Is she very interested in Tianma Baijin?"

——It was as if that was a shining knight from another world, observing the platinum throne of this world.

"As expected of Miss Platinum, she is so calm and confident. She looks so handsome, and she is still calm and composed."

But in fact……

The silver-white girl blinked, still unable to react.

Until the next moment, the shadow of Lin Guang outlined a smile, and the body suddenly turned into particles again and dissipated in front of Bai Jin.

And just a moment ago, Bai Jin seemed to have sensed a subtle hint of interest and envy in the smile and expression of the shadow in the light.

No, why doesn’t this phantom look like a phantom?

(Is it my imagination? Why does it feel like this is Margaret herself? Want to come and play too?)

(If it really is her, who can fight her?)

If I bring my "other self" to the competition next time and sit in the audience...

Would he be interested in the competition if he saw the platinum figure sitting on the throne of the Pegasus Palace, staring at Lin Guang like this?

For a moment, Bai Jin became curious.

But unfortunately, she will definitely have to slack off for a while.

Now that he's announced his retirement, if he just casually goes back to fight at lightning speed, wouldn't the fans' tears be wasted?!

The next competition will definitely be after the Dream Cup.

"Forget it, let's continue watching the game."

Bai Jin's gaze returned to the track, this time she looked towards the front.

The white-hot stage has already begun!

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

[First, Secretariat, who was at the front with a four-length lead, has been caught up by the second-place route to three... two and a half lengths. Is the gap still narrowing?]

[And what's incredible is! The Brilliant Knight, in the unfortunate position of being at the outermost gate, spread her wings and burst out with astonishing speed, it was like the burst only at the end of a sprint!]

[The shining mud-land Pegasus Lin Guang, is she proving that gates cannot decide the duel between legends? ]

Lin Guang and Xinghang are almost parallel to each other, sharing second place, closing in on the large red monster Secretariat in the front.

[But... Secretariat would never sit still and wait for death. She also activated her own domain skills and began the second stage of leap.]

After the commentary sounded—

On that racetrack! Those three figures completely captured the intense attention of nearly all the spectators in the huge racecourse.

The Secretariat is in first place, followed by the innermost route and the outermost route, Linguang.

The most terrifying confrontation and the bloodiest fight have just begun their climax!

On the eve of the first turn.

"Is this coming?"

“Two!”

Big red monster!

The Secretariat seemed to have sensed something about the aura, and her pupils suddenly shrank!

Such a vast and majestic momentum has reached the level of a realm. In this unprecedented Breeders' Cup, there are actually quite a few horse girls who can be mobilized.

This isn't some classic year limited race for foals!

This is... the highest peak in the history of all mud fields and even the world!

But now, there is no need for three supreme kings on this highest peak, it would be too many. In the Secretariat's opinion, only one is enough.

As for the players who have the courage to sign up for the battle in front of as many as three legendary horse girls, they not only have courage but also have some strength.

If you don't even have a domain, then it would be too much of a fantasy to want to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

only--

It is impossible for a regular world-class horse girl to use all her strength at this stage, and it is impossible for her to give up everything and exhaust all her physical strength during this period.

Only the truly top monsters in the world are so extremely wealthy that they can easily mobilize this level of momentum and not care about the consumption of physical strength.

And those two could only be the monsters at the rear… Absolutely only that Brilliant Knight and the route that was determined to escape would manipulate the domain so recklessly and start speeding.

Even though they were just about to reach the first corner and less than a quarter of the race had passed, it was enough to make the Secretariat, which was in the leading position, alert.

(In the three races of the American Triple Crown and the Duel Route race, Lin Guang accelerated before the first turn more than once and chased the front.)

(In a one-on-one duel with a thug, I even dragged her into a head-on confrontation until she was unable to support herself and was injured, which was no less than how I defeated the liar.)

What the secretary should have believed was that Lin Guang was also trying his best to speed up and compete with him for the leading position.

But the next moment, in the peripheral vision of the Secretariat, a figure suddenly broke in, who was even more secretive than her who was at the No. 2 gate.

And in the outer position, in the corner of her eye that she could hardly catch a glimpse of, another shining figure flashed and slightly peeked out.

Not one Uma Musume, but two?!

Linguang, rushing to it!

And the flight routes are also at full capacity?

"She's there?"

"Why is it her!"

Secretariat's scarlet eyes suddenly narrowed, full of surprise.

In addition to the light coming from the outside, there is also a route speeding from the inside?

The Secretariat is extremely concerned about the physical condition and overall strength of the Brilliant Knight Lin Guang. She believes that he is the only active monster in the mud field who can be compared with her.

Well, the dual-sword master, Pegasus Platinum, has retired and is no longer active. Naturally, the only one left is Margaret Linguang!

Although Route is also a legendary horse girl, her weak body is known to the world. Not to mention being compared with her, she may even be inferior to the historical horse girls.

Therefore, the route should not appear here.

What kind of running method puts the most strain on the body?

Or in other words...what kind of running method is most harmful to your health?

If such a question were asked, even the foals who had not yet enrolled in the Horse Girls School, such as Satomi Kozuna and Kita no Genju, who had not yet become their own personalities, would give the answer in unison and with certainty.

That is - the great escape!

That is an extremely difficult running method that drains all of one's functions. At most, one can control the rhythm to buy oneself some rest time, but one must run at full speed for at least half of the distance.

But under what circumstances would it be more harmful to your health than escaping?

That must be... a showdown between two escapes, just like a one-on-one duel!

The two most typical examples are the final battle of the American Triple Crown between Secretariat and Trickster, where the Big Red Monster dominated the battle for the top spot on the huge muddy track with a force of more than 30 lengths.

And, the Brilliant Knight accepted the tactics from the thugs and started a fair one-on-one duel.

The scammers and thugs at that time all chose to go all out from the start, fearing that they would be left too far behind before the sprint straight.

In the end, they were all pulled apart by Secretariat and Lin Guang in that extreme acceleration duel before sprinting straight line. Their body functions reached the peak and exceeded the limit. After being overloaded... they were injured!

Such a vivid example, coupled with the fact that the route's physical strength might not be as strong as that of thugs and con men, made the Secretariat conclude from the beginning that, at least in the first half, her opponent should be Lin Guang at most.

The Secretariat was keeping a calm and vigilant eye on the sudden intrusion of the Outer Path's Brilliant Knight, and was also surprised by the unusual behavior of the Route.

(Route... This is the first time I've seen her run away like this.)

(Actually, disregarding his own safety?)

Because there were many training matches between the Secretariat and the route, she knew the route's usual running style.

Similarly, the routes also understand how the secretariat runs.

In fact, Xinglue is not very good at escaping, after all, it puts a lot of strain on the body. She usually slightly surpasses the front row and the escape horse racing girl, and gradually speeds up the pace.

Being faster than escaping and getting ahead, being slower than escaping and thus saving energy, it is easy to control the field, achieving a big victory while minimizing the load and risk of injury. This was the most common way of running on the route in the past.

The Secretariat never escaped because it was always late!

But now - the early accelerated escape that burned everything, this pair of partners who knew each other well in the training match, unexpectedly used it at the same time, and gave each other a shocking "surprise"!

"Oh, come on then—!"

Secretariat has extensive experience in dealing with escape games. She once tore through the scammers' escape game and won the supreme triple crown.

"Just a Great Escape isn't enough to surpass me. Let me see the difference between the Great Escapes of the Radiant Knight and the Route!"

"Want to surpass me?"

"Then come on, if you can do it!!"

The Secretariat fully demonstrated her full strength, from just opening the field before to now using her skills.

[(Path to Godhood): Activates only when there are Uma Girls of "Legendary" strength nearby. Slightly increases field adaptability, moderately increases aura strength, slightly restores stamina, and slightly reduces stamina consumption...]

[(Solitary Red): Completely dominates the field, exempting from moderate suppression and weakening from the opponent's territory, and can seize some of the enhancement effects from the opponent's territory.]

[(The Lonely Challenger): The fewer horse girls there are around...]

【(Big Red Monster):……】

No need to hesitate, accelerate with all your strength——!

At this moment, Secretariat, who has outstanding endurance and strong explosive power, finally got serious and entered the state of full strength.
