Chapter 348: Under One Person

Chapter 346 Electric Blade

Ji Xinghuo stepped back across the finish line and stopped.

The timer on the big screen stopped at 23 hours, 22 minutes and 45 seconds, and a line of big words appeared: New Record!

At the moment Ji Xinghuo crossed the finish line, the Sun King was less than 300 meters away from the finish line, but he did not slow down. His eyes were fixed on Ji Xinghuo and he rushed towards him quickly. His eyes were cold, as if he wanted to directly hit Ji Xinghuo to death.

The audience exclaimed.

However, Ji Xinghuo had no intention of dodging at all. He stood in place and faced the Sun King who was running towards him.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind blew, blowing the surrounding audience to the ground, and many people could not open their eyes.

When they saw clearly, they found that the Sun King had stopped.

He stopped a few steps away from Ji Xinghuo, and there was no expression on his face. However, the people present felt a terrible and extreme sense of oppression. The whole square was quiet, and even the host was speechless for a while.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the Sun King.

At this moment, Ji Xinghuo clearly felt the terrifying strength of the strongest man on earth, but he was not afraid.

Although speed cannot represent all strength, it can explain a lot of things.

Since the Sun King cannot outrun himself, it can be seen that his speed is temporarily inferior to his own, so he has confidence.

Even if he cannot beat him head-on, he can still escape.

Moreover, when Ji Xinghuo arrived at the finish line, he found two kings in electromagnetic induction. One was Luo Yimeng. When she knew she could win, she immediately gave up the game and flew directly from the Persian Gulf back to Ivangelista to wait.

The other was "Spear Saint" Xing Lie, who came at some point. At this moment, he was standing at the window of a hotel not far from the square, watching the scene.

Needless to say, this should be the arrangement of the head of state.

The tenth and sixth kings, one in the light and the other in the dark, double to maintain themselves, the Sun King would never dare to act rashly.

The silent Sun King still had no expression on his face. Observing closely, Ji Xinghuo found that the lips of the man opposite were very thin, like a line when he was not speaking, twitching slightly. This was different from his image on the Internet, and it should have been beautified.

The Sun King turned his head to look at Xing Lie's position, and then returned to Ji Xinghuo.

Finally, a smile appeared on his face.

"Congratulations."

The Sun King took a few steps forward and reached out to shake hands with Ji Xinghuo.

His hand crossed the finish line, which also meant that he had completed the race. He was ten seconds slower than Ji Xinghuo, and the final result had to add three violations and penalties, 22 hours, 25 minutes and 55 seconds.

"This time, it was His Excellency the Sun King who inspired me." Ji Xinghuo said modestly.

"Hehe..."

John Anthony's eyes twitched.

Of course, he would not forget that he told Ji Xinghuo on the day of the International Invitational that he liked challenges very much, looked forward to Ji Xinghuo's performance, and hoped to give himself some surprises.

Today there are challenges and surprises, but it's too much.

Moreover, Ji Xinghuo crossed the finish line backwards, so arrogant, it was a strong provocation to him. Even if the opponent was not the Sun King, if it was someone else, this way of crossing the finish line was full of controversy. It was not illegal, but it violated the spirit of competition and would cause dissatisfaction among many viewers.

Of course, there will be many people who support it. If you win by strength, what's wrong with being a little crazy?

"I admit that you won this time."

The Sun King stared at Ji Xinghuo, showing that unpredictable smile again, and whispered: "I said that I would not attack you before you are promoted to the King of Heaven. You'd better be promoted to the King of Heaven quickly, I can't wait."

Ji Xinghuo said seriously: "I will."

"Very good."

The Sun King nodded, and saw that several event reporters were coming to interview him. He was originally very happy to be interviewed, but he had no interest in it. With a bang, he flew away directly.

"Mr. Ji!"

Ji Xinghuo stayed where he was and was immediately surrounded by reporters.

There were dozens of drones, floating cameras and various lenses around, aiming at Ji Xinghuo, surrounding him tightly.

A reporter from the New Roman Empire rushed to the front, brought the microphone over, and asked loudly: "Mr. Ji, you set a new record for the global marathon and defeated the Sun King. How do you feel about this?"

"I am very happy." Ji Xinghuo replied.

The reporters thought he had something else to say, but after waiting for a few seconds without any follow-up, they realized that he had finished answering.

"Just very happy?" The reporter asked immediately.

"Yes."

Whether it was the reporters or the audience watching the live broadcast, they all felt very strange. It was such a highlight of life that was worth writing about, and it was watched by tens of billions of people around the world. Don't you have anything else to say?

For example, thank your family and friends for their support, as well as the country, etc.

Or talk about how much hard work you put in for today's victory, how difficult it was, etc.

Ji Xinghuo naturally knew these answer routines.

But he didn't want to say it.

There was no special reason, I just didn't want to, I'm happy.

Fortunately, the reporter reacted quickly, and another reporter asked: "Mr. Ji, do you have anything to say about the Sun King?"

"He is a very strong opponent." Ji Xinghuo replied.

The reporters were already used to his way of answering, and someone immediately continued to ask: "Excuse me, how did you do it? The super alien runs so fast, with a maximum speed of more than Mach 4, and many viewers are very curious."

Ji Xinghuo replied: "This is my secret."

"What did His Excellency the Sun King tell you just now?" asked a reporter from the United States.

"No comment."

The AP reporter did not give up and asked eagerly: "You just hit the line backwards. Some spectators thought this disrespected the Sun King and violated the spirit of competition. Why did Mr. Ji choose this controversial way of hitting the line?"

"No reason. I thought it was more handsome, so I did it." Ji Xinghuo looked at the reporter and said, "Please don't read too much into it."

"Will Mr. Ji participate in the next Global Marathon?"

"It depends."

"Mr. Ji, many viewers want to see your true appearance. Do you have any plans to lift privacy protection?" The question was asked by a beautiful reporter. Her eyes were shining when she looked at Ji Xinghuo.

Ji Xinghuo glanced at her and said with a smile, "I don't have that idea at the moment."

"Why?" the female reporter asked.

"I don't want to be disturbed in my life." Ji Xinghuo paused and then said: "But I want to make one thing clear. Those who say on the Internet that I am ugly because of unfairness and dare to expose it, please give up."

"I can vouch for Mr. Ji on this point." The female reporter couldn't help laughing.

The reporters around also burst into laughter.

A male reporter from the Asia-Pacific Community suddenly asked: "Mr. Ji, there are rumors on the Internet that you and Ms. Jianxian fell in love at first sight. Is this true?"

"Really." Ji Xinghuo nodded.

Speaking of gossip, the reporters were very interested, and the audience watching the live broadcast was also attracted. The male reporter immediately asked: "Can you reveal some more?"

Ji Xinghuo thought for a while and said, "Manying and I confirmed our relationship when we first met."

"Wow……"

Reporters and spectators alike exclaimed.

"Mr. Ji, what is it like to be in love with a global goddess?"

"Very happy, very happy!"

"When you guys confirmed their relationship, Mr. Ji was just at the bottom of the ladder, right?" A reporter obviously knew a lot about the two of them.

"That's right."

"Ms. Jianxian is so discerning!" The male reporter was envious and a little bit sour. He wanted to ask more gossip, but Ji Xinghuo was unwilling to say more on the grounds of personal privacy, so he had to ask other questions.

Ji Xinghuo's answers were brief, sometimes only one or two words, yes or no.

The reporters didn't get used to it at first.

But I soon discovered that Ji Xinghuo's straightforward and honest answers without any polite words were more sincere and rare. He was very personal and made people very fond of him. The audience watching the live broadcast was attracted.

Everyone subconsciously thought of the Sun King's pre-match interview, where he said a lot of scene talk, which was in sharp contrast to Ji Xinghuo.

Their personalities are like two extremes.

Ji Xinghuo answered dozens of questions in one breath before ending the interview.

He returned to the runners' lounge, but there were only staff from the organizing committee. The Classical Marathon and the Thousand Mile Marathon had ended. The Thousand Mile Marathon was still in progress, but there was no champion yet. The fastest runner was still far from the finish line. There are several hours.

The chairman and senior officials of the organizing committee came to express their congratulations.

They were all very happy.

Although the Sun King did not win the championship, which was different from what was expected, the game set a record for the highest number of spectators, which was more than double the previous record, making the event very profitable.

Half an hour after Ji Xinghuo hit the finish line, "Freelander" Jeffrey also reached the finish line.

His performance also set a new record within 24 hours. If he had been in previous years, he would have been the champion, but today he could only be ranked third.

Luo Yimeng, who was originally in fourth place, abandoned the race.

The fifth and sixth places are still more than 10,000 kilometers away from the finish line. It will take them six or seven hours to finish.

The organizing committee did not keep the winners waiting, and as usual, held an award ceremony for the top three in advance.

In the city square at the finish line, the award podium has already been set up.

However, only Ji Xinghuo and Jeffrey received the awards. Hundreds of millions of viewers were looking forward to it, but they did not wait for the Sun King to appear. Being runner-up in the Global Marathon is a very high honor for any stranger, but in the eyes of the Sun King, it is a shame. The strongest man on earth is obviously unwilling to succumb to others.

There was one person missing on the podium, and the scene was a bit awkward.

Ji Xinghuo looked indifferent.

Anyway, it is others who are embarrassed. I am the champion. I just need to accept people's cheers of victory.

In the host's passionate voice, Ji Xinghuo stood on the championship stage.

Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of spectators at the scene and tens of billions of viewers around the world burst into admiration and applause. Especially the citizens of the Asia-Pacific Community, many of whom were even more excited than Ji Xinghuo himself. This championship has a special meaning.

The Sun King, who had been invincible for two centuries and was like a dark cloud weighing on all mankind, finally lost once!

Even though this Sun King is only the third generation and has just inherited the power.

This is not his peak strength.

But victory is victory, failure is failure, and there are no excuses in the alien world. The Sun King lost once today, breaking his undefeated myth and disenchanting his mind. He would not feel so pressured to defeat the Sun King next time.

The emergence of Ji Xinghuo gave the citizens of Asia Pacific Asia a glimmer of hope.

Ji Xinghuo is just a super alien now.

When he is promoted to King of Heaven, everyone believes that with his talent and evolutionary speed, he will be the strongest opponent of the Sun King in the future!

Under the spotlight, Ji Xinghuo received the championship trophy, and there was thunderous applause from all around the square.

Then the national anthem was played.

After the award ceremony, Ji Xinghuo shook hands with Jeffrey, the "Freelander" next to him, and congratulated each other.

"Congratulations." Jeffrey looked calm, his dark eyes full of seriousness and fighting spirit, "I haven't tasted the taste of failure for a long time. I hope you can still participate in the next session and we can compete again."

Ji Xinghuo has respect for this black king in his heart.

When Jeffrey was still a competition alien, he said a famous saying: I can accept failure, but I can never accept giving up.

Ji Xinghuo nodded, "The next session will be four years later. When I have time, I will definitely accept your challenge again."

"Challenge..."

Jeffrey chewed on the word, "It's a deal."

He didn't say anything else and turned and flew away.

Ji Xinghuo watched the other person's figure disappear from his sight. The two had hostile positions. With the current international situation, they will sooner or later fight on the battlefield in the future, not just on the field. No matter what they say, it will be inappropriate.

"Mr. Ji."

The chairman of the organizing committee who had just awarded him the prize said eagerly: "The championship prize will be transferred to your account today, and now you can choose other prizes."

"Okay." Ji Xinghuo agreed happily.

The most important thing for me to participate in the global marathon is the prize.

The prizes provided by the New Roman Empire Star Department were delivered to the scene before the race and kept in a safe under the building next to the square, guarded by the Roman Guards outside.

Ji Xinghuo followed the chairman of the organizing committee into the building and came to the door outside the safe.

Luo Yimeng also followed.

"Please choose three prizes, Mr. Ji." The chairman of the organizing committee turned on the projection screen and displayed dozens of prizes.

Ji Xinghuo had already seen them all.

The champion can choose three first. He saw the most critical "Star Flame Pulse" and immediately clicked three times on the screen to select the three prizes he wanted, including the alien star flame pulse.

For the other two, he chose "Star Tears" and "Electric Potential Battle Blade" respectively.

The market value of the Tears of the Stars is about 500 million Asian dollars, but there is no market for it. It is difficult to buy it immediately even if you have money. You often have to rely on connections and consume your connections.

It is very easy to get it from the prizes of the event.

The last "Electric Potential Blade" is a super three-star weapon, the most valuable of all the prizes this time.

This weapon is the proud work of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the New Roman Empire. It uses extremely precious and rare materials. There is only one in the world. It is powerful and is the top weapon among the super three-star weapons.

The "Seiko Institute" that created the Electric Potential Blade was originally reluctant to take it out.

But in order to attract enough aliens to participate and use the event to improve the city image of Ivangelista, the Iron Emperor personally decided to put the "Electric Potential Blade" into the prize pool.

Before that, Ji Xinghuo wanted it when he saw it.

This super three-star weapon, whether in weight, size or attached superpowers, meets his needs.

"Please wait."

The chairman of the organizing committee ordered the guards to open the safe.

Soon, the three prizes were placed on a cart and pushed in front of Ji Xinghuo.
