Chapter 334: Flying Shoes

Chapter 332 New Sun King

John Anthony, a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, American Federation, was born in 2195.

His family has been soldiers for generations.

Since his grandfather's generation, his father and uncle have joined the United States Army or served in the military. John's third uncle Walter Anthony has the highest achievement. He retired from the army with the rank of lieutenant colonel and founded a small arms company.

John himself and his three brothers and cousins ​​all joined the army or did related work after adulthood.

Ten years ago, John became an alien at the age of 21.

His career template is "Iron Guard".

After entering the army, John Anthony quickly showed outstanding talent. It took only five years for him to evolve from a junior alien to a senior alien, and he passed the selection and joined the elite force of the United States Army, the "Skyfire Commando".

In the "Skyfire Commando", John Anthony performed outstandingly, made many contributions, and was promoted to major in three years.

At the age of 29, he evolved into a super alien.

Such a talent is also first-class in the world, and it is not surprising that he will be able to climb the global ladder in the future.

However, before today, John Anthony was only slightly famous in the United States military.

After that, John Anthony was transferred from the Skyfire Commando on the grounds of "military further study" and entered the "Federal Air Force Academy".

Two years after disappearing, John Anthony reappeared in people's vision and has become the third generation of the Sun King.

"A good family background."

The first thought that came to Ji Xinghuo's mind after reading the information.

Because the intelligence was collected in a hurry, there was only a brief overview, so the content of the information was not much.

"Have you finished reading it?" Ji Daosheng looked around the meeting room, "Let me tell you my opinion first."

He paused, and his eyes seemed to be recalling the distant past.

"The last time the Sun King was reincarnated was in 2138. Because it was the first time, Henry Taswell died very suddenly, and the US government was caught off guard. Several consortiums fought for power and profit, and serious internal strife broke out within the US."

"At that time, our country was in the autumn of survival. I got the information about the death of the Sun King and immediately decided to counterattack and expand the results of the war."

"Everyone knows what happened later."

"Without the death of the Sun King, we would not have been able to drive the enemy out of Asia so quickly and establish our country."

Ji Daosheng said slowly.

Ji Xinghuo had learned this history in textbooks, but listening to the eyewitness's own narration, the feeling was completely different. The calm and concise words revealed a thick sense of historical heaviness, which made people feel excited.

There were several people in the conference room who had experienced that period.

The meaning of the head of state was also very clear.

The first iteration of the Sun King created an excellent opportunity for the country, and the second time is likely to be an opportunity.

If there is no Sun King, or the new Sun King has a period of weakness, we must seize this strategic opportunity.

Yan Wenzhuo, the Minister of the Star Realm, asked: "Headmaster, what is the reason for the inheritance of the power of the Sun King?"

"I don't know."

Ji Daosheng shook his head and glanced at Li Hui of the Sword Bureau.

Li Hui replied with a guilty look on his face: "The Sword Bureau has been infiltrating the United States since its establishment. It has paid countless efforts over the years, but it has never obtained any useful information about the secrets of the Sun King."

Ji Xinghuo was a little surprised.

The Asia-Pacific Community and the American Federation have been inserting spies into each other and fighting secretly for more than a century. Even the most top-secret intelligence will leak a little.

However, the Sword Bureau has gained nothing.

The biggest possibility is that, as the outside world speculates, the secret of the inheritance of the power of the Sun King is only known to the Sun King himself.

Ji Daosheng said: "In the last iteration, there was a six-month gap between the death of the Sun King and the emergence of the new Sun King."

"In the seventh month, I fought with Chris face to face."

"He had returned to the King of Heaven at that time, but his power was obviously unstable. I guessed that he was the first level of the King of Heaven. But even if he was the first level of the King of Heaven, his strength was very strong, so he dared to show up and participate in the battle."

"In the ninth month, I had contact with him again."

"At that time, he reached the second level of the King of Heaven, and his power was more stable."

"The next time I met Chris was eighteen months later, His power was completely stable, reaching the third stage of the Heavenly King. "

"In the following years, I have contacted Chrisff many times, and each time his strength has improved compared to the last time. It has been significantly enhanced compared to the previous generation Henry. He has integrated multiple "Flame Mad" templates, mastered high temperature capabilities, and his explosive power has also reached a higher level."

"It was not until ten years later that Chrisff's rapid rise ended and his power stabilized. "

"At that time, I thought he had a great chance of breaking through and being promoted to the Shepherd Star Saint."

"And until he died today, he didn't break through." At this point, Ji Daosheng showed a bit of surprise on his face.

Ji Xinghuo was secretly shocked when he heard it.

Promoted to Heavenly King in six months, Heavenly King second stage in nine months, and Heavenly King third stage at most in eighteen months. This speed of strength improvement is too terrible.

It is so shocking that even the head of state is worried.

However, the second generation of the Sun King was already the third stage of the Heavenly King in the 1950s. For more than 70 years, he has not been able to break through?

This is indeed surprising.

Or is it that the difficulty of the Heavenly King to be promoted to the Shepherd Star Saint is so great?

"Head of State, should we do something during the six-month blank period?" Minister of Public Security Sima Hanzhang said, "Such a period of strategic opportunity only comes once in a century. I think we should not miss it."

His words were recognized by many people.

Today’s global landscape is very different from that of the last century.

As the number of aliens increases, the overall strength of aliens has also increased significantly. Legends and kings are increasing year by year, and there are winged people from the outside looking at them. Although there is no war, it is like before the storm. peaceful.

Most likely, we won’t have to wait for the next iteration of Sun King.

John Anthony was only 31 years old, and it would be at least 80 years before he died.

The worst-case scenario is that in this iteration of the Sun King, John Anthony directly breaks through to the Saint of the Shepherd!

"We must nip the threat in the bud." said champion Hou Huokeji: "Strike first is the strongest."

"I agree." Zhu Xiaorong raised her hand.

There are several other people who also represent similar views. They must take advantage of the Sun King's period of weakness to determine the outcome in one fell swoop.

Ji Xinghuo did not express his position.

The first is that I am not qualified enough and there is no need to rush to speak; the second is that I think this iteration of the Sun King may not be that simple.

Ji Daosheng looked at Wu Huaian with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Huai'an, what do you think?"

As the highest representative of the military, Marshal Wu Huaian had a different idea. He spoke at a leisurely pace and his voice was full of magnetism. "The United States was not prepared for the last iteration of the Sun King. This time it may be different."

Xing Lie also said: "The American League official issued the obituary today, but it is not necessarily the case that Chris died just today."

"He also appeared in public last month." Zhu Xiaorong frowned, "Could it be someone else who was pretending?"

Everyone in the conference room was shocked.

If the Sun King who had appeared to refute the rumors several times before was all fake, the real Sun King would have been dead long ago.

Then, the American League may have set a trap, waiting for the enemy to step in.

It was not difficult to hide the news of the Sun King's death for half a year.

The third generation Sun King has taken advantage of this half year to return to the strength of the Heavenly King, and it may even last longer.

"I also have this consideration." Ji Daosheng nodded, "The iterations of the Sun King are getting stronger with each generation. This time the Sun King's power can be restored faster and in a shorter time."

He pointed to John Anthony on the screen.

"This John, he was transferred to the Federal Air Force Academy two years ago."

"I guess that many young people like him who are talented, well-suited for their profession, come from an excellent family background, have perfect conditions and meet all requirements should have participated in the competition for this iteration of the Sun King."

"He may have passed the selection process and stood out from many candidates."

"If that's really the case..."

Ji Daosheng had some worry on his face, "It shows that the American League has made sufficient preparations for this iteration of the Sun King."

"Führer." Li Hui stood up quickly, "This is my dereliction of duty."

The American Federation secretly selected candidates for the Sun King, but the Sword Bureau didn't get any information. It really shouldn't be.

There is no information on whether the Sun King is dead or not.

Ji Daosheng did not blame, "In the past year or two, the Qianyuan Society has diverted too much attention from the Lijian Bureau, so it is inevitable to be negligent."

Li Hui sat down with a look of shame.

At this time, Wu Huaian said: "Führer, my opinion is to stay put. The obituary said that the new Sun King will appear at Krish's funeral. We will send a delegation to attend the state funeral and check out his status."

"Can."

Ji Daosheng looked at Foreign Minister Luo Keding and said, "Keding, please take someone to go to St. Louis on my behalf. Chris has been my opponent for many years. Although he is not a friend, he passed away and it is time to remember him for me."

"Yes, head of state." Luo Keding responded loudly.

"We have to prepare on two fronts." Ji Daosheng added: "On the one hand, if this John Anthony is already the King of Heaven, we will stand still; on the other hand, if he is just the head of a silver wax spear, then we will give him a thunderous blow."

He called a few names.

"Baoguo, the head of the torture hall, Xiaorong, Yimeng, you must be prepared these days." Ji Daosheng looked serious.

"Yes." Several heavenly kings all accepted the order in unison.

"Huai'an, make a good military plan." Ji Daosheng looked at Wu Huaian again, "One move can affect the whole body. If this Sun King dies, we must be fully prepared to prevent the situation in the American League from getting out of control."

"I understand." Wu Huaian nodded.

Ji Daosheng issued orders to several departments, and then ordered the meeting to be dismissed.

From beginning to end, Ji Xinghuo didn't speak. He followed Li Hui out of the administration building and arrived at the headquarters of the Sharp Sword Bureau. Li Hui also started to get busy, activating the swordsmen lurking in the United States to spy on more intelligence.

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Ji Xinghuo returned to the Aether Research Institute.

Continue to practice.

In the next two days, the Internet was abuzz with all kinds of true and false news and rumors flying everywhere.

Except for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which issued a eulogy and announced that Luo Keding would lead a delegation to attend the state funeral of the Sun King, there was no movement from other official departments of the Asia-Pacific Community. However, many people sensed an undercurrent.

The Sun King's state funeral was broadcast live worldwide.

It's daytime on the American League side, and nighttime on the APEC side.

Ji Xinghuo watched with Zhao Manying at home. In July, the first half of the Super League ended and the two-month summer offseason entered, so she spent almost all day with Ji Xinghuo these days.

The solemn state funeral lasted for more than two hours.

On the picture, the Sun King who is unknown to everyone in the world, Chris Hollinge, is lying in a coffin. His body is still strong, his face is calm and serene, but there is no trace of the vitality of a living person anymore.

At the end of the state funeral, a tall and muscular young man wearing a black suit and meticulously combed hair came on stage.

In front of many American politicians, kings, celebrities, including the president, speaker, and delegations from various countries, he did not have any stage fright. He looked directly at the camera and said: "Everyone, I am John Anthony, an American League member." Citizen. Today, as the successor of the Sun King, I remember Mr. Christopher Hollinge..."

At this moment, the eyes of tens of billions of people around the world fell on this young man.

John Anthony!

The name immediately spread throughout the world, and no one knew it.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the third-generation Sun King on the screen. His first impression was that of sunshine, majesty, justice, and extraordinary temperament. Even though he was delivering a speech at a funeral, there was no sense of gloom at all, as if he had a dazzling halo on his head.

His speech was clearly rehearsed.

His expressions are all over the place, sad when he should be sad, serious when he should be serious, and occasionally he will tell a harmless little joke, which triggers good-natured laughter and brings him closer to the audience and hundreds of millions of viewers.

His standing posture and gestures when speaking were all very standard, and the emotion contained in his tone was also very full, with no flaws to be found.

Everything was impeccable.

If I could only use one word to describe him, it would be "perfect"!

He perfectly fits people's impression of the Sun King. Whether they are American citizens or not, they will feel that this is the image that the strongest man on earth should have.

Ji Xinghuo watched quietly.

Zhao Manying suddenly said: "This person's performance is a bit over the top. It doesn't feel real to me."

After integrating the Eye of Reality, not only does her strength greatly increase, but she can also see many details that are difficult for ordinary people to see and detect in aspects of daily life that have nothing to do with combat.

Sometimes she can read a wealth of information with just one look.

Ji Xinghuo also felt similar.

He thought for a moment, "You mean he's hypocritical?"

"Hypocritical and inaccurate." Zhao Manying wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows. "He is suppressing his nature, but he is limited to certain constraints. He dare not fully express it for a while, so he can only act according to the script."

Ji Xinghuo understood somewhat.

He said: "When he becomes the Sun King and makes his first appearance, there will definitely be countless people analyzing his micro-expressions and judging his character. He may be performing this way on purpose to confuse the audience."

"I can't tell clearly. After all, there will be distortion across the screen." Zhao Manying was not sure.

John Anthony's speech came to an end.

Towards the end, the new Sun King suddenly said: "On July 20, I will lead a delegation to visit the New Roman Empire and sign up to participate in this global marathon in Ivangrad."

Hearing this, Ji Xinghuo was stunned, and Zhao Manying was also surprised.
