Chapter 346 Electric Potential Blade

Chapter 344 Chase

Luo Yimeng saw Ji Xinghuo was so confident, although he still had doubts in his heart, he didn't say anything, and he sped up and ran to the front.

Ji Xinghuo concentrated on running.

The rules of the Global Marathon are very simple, but it is actually very difficult to avoid breaking the rules.

Even if you are a superstar, you will inevitably break the rules several times after running the whole course, and then you will be penalized.

You can't run the wrong route. If you exceed the specified route range, you will also be penalized. If you don't return to the correct route after one minute, your score will be cancelled directly.

While running, he tapped his left wrist lightly.

A small screen was projected in front of him, and you can see the current position of other runners in real time. They are all marked on the route, as well as the speed of each runner, the expected finishing result, etc., all at a glance.

Ji Xinghuo found his position at a glance.

He is currently ranked fourth.

The Sun King is running in the front. In just two or three minutes, he has opened up a distance of more than 10 kilometers from him.

Jeffrey the Walker is following closely behind the Sun King, less than a kilometer away, and is very close.

Luo Yimeng is in third place.

The speeds of these three kings are all above 400 meters per second, belonging to the first echelon, and the distance from Ji Xinghuo is getting farther and farther.

The host and marathon experts have been analyzing the situation, and the main screen of the live broadcast is also switching between the contestants.

When Ji Xinghuo is mentioned, they are not optimistic.

"Ji Xinghuo's star power and physical fitness are far behind the kings. Although he got a head start at the start, it was very eye-catching, but unfortunately he couldn't last. He currently maintains a speed of 1 Mach and is temporarily in fourth place, but in my judgment, his ranking will continue to decline and be surpassed by the players behind..."

Another expert agreed: "Ji Xinghuo is just a super alien after all. It is amazing that he can run supersonic speed."

"Indeed."

"The global marathon is different from flying. He may be better at flying, but running on the ground restricts his speed."

"And his tactics are also lacking. He shouldn't sprint at full speed at the beginning, which will quickly consume his star power. The Global Marathon is a time-consuming sport. It is not just about speed, but more importantly, star power. And physical strength, and will.”

"However, Ji Xinghuo has a very powerful advantage."

"In which direction?"

"So far, he has not violated the rules once, and the cumulative penalty time is 0. This is very rare. It shows that he has extremely strong control over his body, no less than those marathon strangers who have been training for many years."

"I heard that Ji Xinghuo only started practicing marathon running after signing up. If this is true, it would be amazing."

"Being number one on the ladder is certainly not that simple."

Several experts in front of the screen analyzed a few words. Although they were not optimistic, they did not disparage them all, but praised them.

The host asked: "What do you think Ji Xinghuo's final score is? What kind of ranking can he get?"

"45 to 50 hours." One expert answered, "Ranked around tenth."

Several others predicted similar results.

While talking, someone else began to exert force and gradually caught up with Ji Xinghuo.

This is also a king, the "Arrow's Edge" of the New Roman Empire, named "Maxim Kalinen", ranked 24th on the list of kings.

The screen immediately switched to him. All the audience saw that on a highway between fields, Maxim's speed was getting faster and faster. Another figure running wildly appeared in front of him, which was Ji Xinghuo.

The distance between the two people quickly closed, and then Maxim overtook Ji Xinghuo and left him behind.

"Ji Xinghuo dropped to fifth place."

The host said immediately.

Several guest experts nodded. This scene confirmed their predictions about Ji Xinghuo. One of them said: "The foundation of the first place in the ladder is not as good as the king after all. Losing this global marathon will not have much impact, but if he loses the duel with Li Xuan in October, he will lose a meteorite alien."

Speaking of the duel bet between Ji Xinghuo and Li Xuan, several people on the screen shook their heads at the same time.

The live broadcast screen also deliberately cut to Li Xuan.

At this moment, Li Xuan was also running at full speed, but he was really not good at this. He just relied on his strong star power to run ahead of the legends and marathon aliens, and was not far ahead. He is currently ranked 17th.

Seeing this scene, the host and the audience laughed. This Internet celebrity king participates in the marathon every year for traffic.

He certainly can't miss the four-year global marathon.

But this is too slow.

"If Li Jianxia competes with Ji Xinghuo in running, he has already lost, and lost miserably." An expert laughed.

The host disagreed, "Fighting is a combination of many abilities. Li Jianxia is not good at long-distance running, but his swordsmanship, attack methods and combat experience are all top-notch in the world. Ji Xinghuo's chance of winning is very slim."

His words were echoed.

Joking aside, no one dares to underestimate the strength of the king.

Most of the 49 kings in the world have their own strengths and weaknesses, otherwise there would not be only six kings participating in the global marathon.

There is only one Sun King in the world who is a true hexagonal king.

The screen switched and the topic turned to other contestants.

Ji Xinghuo didn't know the host's expert's comments on him. He just concentrated on running and maintained a speed of 1 Mach.

In the first hour, he ran 1,260 kilometers.

Not far ahead was "Yerevan". According to the race route, each runner had to pass through the city and pass a sign in the city.

The scenery on the roadside quickly changed from mountains to cities, and high-rise buildings appeared in front.

The road was cleared, and vehicles and pedestrians were prohibited from passing.

There was a striking projection in the sky, guiding the route.

Tens of thousands of spectators cheered loudly at a safe distance, waiting for the arrival of the global marathon runners.

Huh...

Ji Xinghuo ran into Yerevan along the highway, and the streets on both sides quickly swept back in the field of vision, stretching into light and shadow.

In the eyes of the spectators on the roadside, they only saw a shadow.

It flashed by.

Then a violent shock wave hit the body, and a deafening sonic boom was heard, and the appearance of the runners was not seen clearly at all.

On the projection screen in the sky, the high-speed camera played the captured images in slow motion.

The drone camera also locked onto Ji Xinghuo, allowing people to see his running posture, leaning forward, alternating his steps, swinging his arms, and wearing a pair of silver and black running shoes. Every step he took would leave footprints on the ground, and the whole person was like a flash of lightning flying close to the ground.

The visual impact seen on the screen is far less than that of reality.

Wherever Ji Xinghuo ran, the spectators on the roadside would burst into amazement, and then look at his distant shadow.

The route sign was high in the central block of Yerevan.

When Ji Xinghuo ran under the sign, he immediately confirmed that the route was valid, and continued to run forward without stopping for a moment.

It only took him about a minute to pass through this not-so-big city, and after leaving the city, he turned southeast.

The next sign was set in Tehran.

Along the highway, 40 minutes later, Ji Xinghuo ran to Tehran, and he was still fifth.

However, when he passed the sign in Tehran, someone caught up with him.

Ji Xinghuo did not look back.

A high-speed moving figure appeared in the radius of electromagnetic induction, faster than himself, and was approaching rapidly.

"Flying artist."

"Ranked 35th on the King List, Jose Morales."

Ji Xinghuo's mind flashed with the information of this opponent.

Jose Morales' experience was similar to Li Xuan's, and he was also an Internet celebrity king. However, unlike Li Xuan, he was not afraid to venture into the star world. Being an Internet celebrity was just a hobby, and he was keen to share his experiences with people.

Amid the cheers of the audience on the streets of Tehran, Jose caught up with Ji Xinghuo.

This "flying artist" is a "sky explorer" who is best at flying and is also good at running on the ground.

When he passed Ji Xinghuo, Jose waved to Ji Xinghuo and made a "bye-bye" gesture.

Obviously this was a mockery.

At this moment, multiple drones in the sky took photos from different angles and sent them to the world.

Although Jose had no ill intentions, it still caused a heated discussion.

Many viewers on the Internet followed suit and mocked.

Ji Xinghuo didn't see it, but he knew that this scene must have been seen by countless people, and he could guess the audience's reaction.

He didn't care.

After falling behind to sixth place, Ji Xinghuo was still not anxious. More than half an hour later, he ran along the southern coast of the Caspian Sea to the border of the Star-Moon National Alliance.

In front of him was Central Asia, the territory of the Asia-Pacific Community.

When the runners of the Global Marathon cross the border, the drones above their heads will be replaced with those of the current country, which can avoid many diplomatic disputes and risks.

Running all the way across the coast, mountains and plateaus, running eastward along the Silk Road, crossing the Taklimakan Desert, there are more and more green in the field of vision, and the climate and environment are becoming more and more familiar. Passing through the Chaka Star Gate, it is getting closer and closer to Chang'an.

After more than seven hours of running.

Finally, Ji Xinghuo saw Chang'an. Due to the time difference, Chang'an at this time was more than 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

The super metropolis under the night is still brightly lit, just like daytime.

Familiar skyscrapers and wide streets are built on superconducting roads in the air, and maglev cars are turbulent.

The race route has been cleared.

But on the roadside along the way, countless spectators have stayed up all night and waited until now, just to see the runners run with their own eyes.

When Ji Xinghuo ran into Chang'an, he was cheered warmly.

"Come on!"

"Ji Xinghuo, run faster, overtake the arrogant guy in front, you can do it!"

"Come on, come on..."

Because he was running at supersonic speed, Ji Xinghuo could only hear the shouts from the front, and they were intermittent and unclear, but he felt everyone's enthusiasm and saw his family and friends cheering for him on the roadside.

He turned on the projection screen and took a look.

He was still sixth.

In front was the "flying artist" Jose, his speed had slowed down, and the distance was being shortened, less than 100 kilometers.

The fastest Sun King has now run to Mingzhu City, the second largest city in the Asia-Pacific Community, more than 2,000 kilometers ahead of himself.

"It's my turn to exert my strength."

Ji Xinghuo ran past the sign of Chang'an and began to accelerate.

A few seconds later, his speed reached 400 meters per second, which was immediately noticed by the host and guest experts.

"Ji Xinghuo accelerated!"

"Oh my god!"

The host shouted in disbelief: "He can actually accelerate, how did he do that?"

In fact, Ji Xinghuo's speed of Mach 1 has exceeded their expectations. They thought that Ji Xinghuo's star power was about to reach the bottom, and he just wanted to hold on to Chang'an. As a result, he was even faster in Chang'an.

On the screen, Ji Xinghuo in the drone camera did not show any effort, and his face was very relaxed.

His speed remained stable at 400 meters per second, almost unchanged.

"Too stable!"

An expert sighed: "I have been paying attention to Ji Xinghuo's speed. His stability is simply terrible. His control is like a machine, not a human."

"He has not violated the rules once so far!"

"Even the Sun King violated the rules twice and was fined two minutes."

Under the attention of hundreds of millions of viewers, Ji Xinghuo quickly closed the distance with the flying artist. Just over 20 minutes after running out of Chang'an, he caught up with Jose Morales in Jinyang City.

Ji Xinghuo ran side by side with the other party on the highway, remained relatively still, and waved to the other party.

This scene was also photographed.

"Hahahaha..."

"The boomerang hit him in the face!"

"Cool!"

Countless audiences laughed, especially the citizens of the Asia-Pacific Community, who felt very relieved. Jose Morales' face was very ugly. He didn't say anything, but silently sped up, not wanting to be left behind by Ji Xinghuo.

This disrupted Jose's arrangements, because now was the time for him to recover his star power and physical strength.

What annoyed him most was that he found that he couldn't catch up.

Ji Xinghuo's current speed exceeded his maximum speed. Even if he didn't care about his star power, he could only watch Ji Xinghuo get farther and farther away from him until he disappeared from his sight, and his running rhythm collapsed.

At more than one o'clock in the morning, Ji Xinghuo ran to the ancient capital.

Amid the shouts of many ancient capital audiences, he passed through this historic and cultural city, turned after leaving the city, and ran south along the Bohai Sea.

He passed through domestic cities such as Mingzhu, Rongcheng, Yuewan, Hanoi, Phnom Penh, and Bangkok, and ran into the Southeast Peninsula.

At dawn.

Ji Xinghuo has arrived at the Strait of Malacca, where he overtook "Arrow" Maxim Kalinin and returned to fourth place.

He turned west here and took another two hours to enter the South Asian Alliance.

The race route on the subcontinental peninsula basically runs along the coast. When Ji Xinghuo arrived at the southernmost city of the peninsula, it was just halfway through the race. He had run for 16 hours and was expected to finish in 30 hours.

The Sun King had already run to the Arabian Peninsula.

Ji Xinghuo was left behind by 6,000 kilometers.

It seemed that the outcome was already determined.

Whether it was the host, experts, or global audiences, they all thought that there was not much suspense in this global marathon.

Even the most competitive freerunner had slowed down in the past few hours and was more than 1,000 kilometers away from the Sun King.

But no one gave up.

Ji Xinghuo accelerated again slightly. More than four hours later, he ran to the north coast of the Persian Gulf and caught up with Luo Yimeng here.

She looked back in front, and her voice reached Ji Xinghuo's ears, "We don't have much time left."

At this moment, the Sun King was in central Africa.

He arrived at Lake Victoria on the upper reaches of the Nile River, less than 10,000 kilometers away from the finish line. At his speed, he could run back to Ivangelista in about six hours and reach the finish line of the entire journey.

Ji Xinghuo nodded slightly.

Luo Yimeng didn't understand what he meant, and was about to ask again, but saw that Ji Xinghuo's speed suddenly soared, surpassing her in a blink of an eye, and was still accelerating madly, getting faster and faster, and then he could not see it.

Bang bang bang...

The explosive footsteps echoed around.

Where Ji Xinghuo ran, a series of large pits with a diameter of two or three meters were left on the ground, splashing large pieces of dust, and were swept into the sky by the violent airflow, as if a tornado had hit.

"At least Mach 3!"

Luo Yimeng was stunned, this was faster than her full-strength burst!
