Chapter 362 Ten-Time Champion

After Sophia left, Ji Xinghuo said, "Manying, we will each get half of the ether crystals acquired with this fund."

At that time, he paid two-thirds of the money bet.

According to this ratio, more than 240 billion will be paid to pay 160 billion, and the remaining 80 billion will be Zhao Manying's.

"You are too generous." Zhao Manying sighed, "You gave away 40 billion in one sentence. It's just like treating money like dirt."

"Who made you my girlfriend? Don't be polite to me." Ji Xinghuo smiled.

"Okay."

Zhao Manying's eyes moved, and she accepted it frankly without being pretentious.

Ji Xinghuo said again: "The 150 billion that Li Xuan lost to me, plus the income from the game, must be more than 200 billion in total. I plan to entrust this money to a fund or e-commerce platform for the long-term acquisition of ether crystals."

There are several large e-commerce platforms in the Asia-Pacific Community, all of which involve online transactions of alien species, treasures and ether crystals.

Although 200 billion is a lot, it is not so exaggerated compared to the turnover of e-commerce platforms.

However, if all of it is used to purchase ether crystals, it may take three or four years to be used up, and it will also push up the transaction price of ether crystals.

This requires professionals to operate.

Zhao Manying nodded, "I have endorsed an e-commerce platform, and I have a good relationship with them and a good reputation. I can help you contact them and arrange a detailed discussion."

"Contact them now." Ji Xinghuo said.

He wanted to get this done as soon as possible and didn't want to waste too much time and energy on it.

Half an hour later, Ji Xinghuo and his partner were invited to the headquarters of the e-commerce platform. The CEO personally received them and was extremely enthusiastic. The other party felt like a pie in the sky when they talked, and gave a very favorable service contract.

The e-commerce platform is fully responsible for the purchase of ether crystals, ensuring that the premium is less than 10%, and there is no commission or handling fee.

Ji Xinghuo does not need to pay in advance. As long as he settles once every quarter, he can get the ether crystals.

Moreover, the other party promised that the scope of acquisition will not be limited to the domestic market, and channels will be opened abroad to speed up acquisition efficiency.

This is simply a free service.

Ji Xinghuo certainly knew what the other party wanted. After negotiating the contract, he met with the boss of this e-commerce platform in the evening. The conversation was very harmonious and they exchanged contact information.

A few days later.

Sophia came to Chang'an again.

She said it would take a week, but she came back in just five days. When she saw Ji Xinghuo at his home, her face was a little tired, but her eyes were very energetic, revealing the excitement and impatience that could not be concealed.

"Mr. Ji, I am glad to have fulfilled my mission!"

Sophia waved her hand, and the two bodyguards each carried a large box and placed it in front of her, and then opened it.

The box was full of ether crystals!

The bright light emanated, illuminating the entire living room, making people hold their breath.

Ji Xinghuo had met him once when he was trading with Xu Lingke, so he was relatively calm.

Zhao Manying's eyes were shocked.

"Each box has a capacity of 2,000 ether crystals, a total of 4,000. Mr. Ji, please count them." Sophia said proudly.

Ji Xinghuo picked up an ether crystal at random. It was a standard hexagonal column, about 10 cm long and translucent. You could see a weak energy flow inside the crystal, reflecting a faint rainbow light.

Ether crystal is the crystallization of ether energy.

It is naturally produced in the astral world, but most of the ether crystals in circulation are artificial.

So their shapes, sizes and energy are exactly the same, and they have a unified production standard.

"4,000 pieces?" Ji Xinghuo was a little surprised.

This is 1,000 more than the 3,000 pieces that Sophia had promised before. It seems that she paid a lot to get the "absolute hit".

"I have a friend who collected a batch of ether crystals, and I bought them all." Sophia answered lightly.

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

Whether Sophia bought it from a friend or used the reserve of the New Roman Empire, it was none of his business. Anyway, he just had to get the ether crystal.

"This is a species."

Ji Xinghuo took out "Absolute Hit" from his pocket and handed over the arrow-shaped species.

Sophia finally couldn't hold back her excitement and carefully took the species.

Her hands were shaking.

"Please allow me to identify it." Sophia said cautiously.

"Please."

Ji Xinghuo was very casual. For a transaction worth 2,000 ether crystals, no matter how cautious he was, it was not excessive.

This time Sophia came to Chang'an and brought a species expert from the empire, who followed behind her. Sophia handed the species to him. The expert wore white gloves, looked solemn and serious, and began to identify the species.

Most of the species experts in the world will never come into contact with the meteorite species in their lifetime.

After half an hour of identification.

Using various tools, exploration, testing, and comparison with other species, the expert finally dared to draw a conclusion and reported: "Your Highness, it is an absolute hit."

Sophia, who had been watching nervously, breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she knew that Ji Xinghuo was unlikely to lie, she was afraid that maybe Ji Xinghuo and she had made a mistake.

Now that the empire's top alien expert had confirmed it, there must be no problem.

"Sorry, I kept Mr. Ji waiting for so long." Sophia apologized.

"It's okay."

Ji Xinghuo smiled. After all, others were not like him who had the Universal Star Pupil, and could get information about the alien species as soon as they touched it. It was reasonable that the identification took longer.

"Happy cooperation!" Sophia said happily: "I will collect the remaining ether crystals within three years until your 200 billion funds are used up."

"Thank you for your hard work, Princess." Ji Xinghuo expressed his gratitude.

"It's reasonable."

Sophia exchanged a few words of greeting, and couldn't wait to take the alien species away.

"Come on!" Ji Xinghuo took Zhao Manying's hand and smiled, "Let's calculate together, are there 4,000 ether crystals here?"

Zhao Manying said: "I have calculated, and it's correct."

Her real eyes and quantum mind, as long as she glanced, even if she couldn't see everything under the box, she could get accurate data at a glance, and match the fluctuations of ether energy with the quantity.

"This is the first time I've seen so many ether crystals." Zhao Manying picked up an ether crystal and exclaimed: "It's much more shocking than the numbers in the bank account."

"Yes..."

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

Ether crystals are equivalent to gold before the star gate is opened. They are more precious and more valuable than gold, but now gold has become an industrial raw material.

The two of them counted them manually and then divided them.

Of this batch of ether crystals, 2,000 were sold for absolute hits, and the remaining 2,000 were purchased. Ji Xinghuo took 3,000 and gave the remaining 1,000 to Zhao Manying, who immediately deposited them in the Ether Research Institute.

The Ether Research Institute is located in the Star Realm Department, where masters gather. It is one of the safest places in the country. It just so happens that she also needs to consume them during her daily cultivation, so she can take them as she needs them.

Ji Xinghuo also deposited a few hundred pieces in the Ether Research Institute, and found an opportunity to put the rest into the Dimensional Stomach Bag.

After that, he began to practice.

This time, unlike before, he was not so urgent to be promoted to Legend, so Ji Xinghuo reduced his daily practice time to about 10 hours, combining work and rest, and had more time to accompany Zhao Manying and go to away games with her.

He also often instructed his elder sister Ye Dongyun to practice, exchanged martial arts with his second brother Zhong Ming, and urged Wang Zizhen and Liangqiu Feiyan to practice, with remarkable results.

Even so, Ji Xinghuo's star power is also growing rapidly.

An average increase of 1,500 points of star power per month.

Entering the end of December.

Ji Xinghuo's star power value exceeded 26,000 points. He only needed to practice for another three months to reach the boundary between the first and second stages of the legend.

For the second stage of the legend, the star power is compressed again and the density is increased.

Reach the point where the star power is released.

Ji Xinghuo expected that he would be able to release the star power when he reached 30,000 points of star power, but he deliberately slowed down the pace of practice.

At each stage of the alien, the upper limit of the star power depends on the number and quality of the fused aliens.

After he was promoted to legend, he only fused one "overload".

This is not enough to improve the upper limit of the star power. Although there is still one chance of fusion, Ji Xinghuo has considered it for a long time and often buys aliens of various levels. Through the Wanxiang Xingtong appraisal, he saw the success rate of fusion, but did not find a satisfactory alien.

There is only one "shadow clone", and the fusion success rate reaches 88%, which is quite impressive.

Shadow clone is a super-limited alien species.

It greatly improves his strength, and Ji Xinghuo is quite tempted.

However, considering that after the legend, it is increasingly difficult to find expansion objects, and powerful and compatible alien species are also rare, Ji Xinghuo decided not to fuse the shadow clone.

The remaining fusion opportunity should be left to the "Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body".

The head of state said that it will be available within next year.

"Practice first, stop when you reach the upper limit of the first legendary stage, and wait for the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body." Ji Xinghuo thought of a plan, "If there is a clue to the expansion object, go to the star realm to search, just in time to go back to Taohuagou to see Sister Ren, I haven't seen her for more than half a year..."

When he thought of Ren Mian, Ji Xinghuo's blood suddenly surged, his whole body was hot, and then he looked around with a guilty conscience.

The end of December.

"Ten crowns!"

"Sword Immortal is invincible!"

At the Tianqin National Stadium, hundreds of thousands of spectators shouted loudly, stood up and looked at the three-dimensional projection in the middle of the stadium, cheering for Zhao Manying.

Today is the last match of the domestic Super League, which will decide the champion of this season.

Best of seven.

The Emperor Star team led by Zhao Manying has won three games in a row and is about to win the fourth game, sweeping the opponent out.

Ji Xinghuo sat in the front row, cheering for his girlfriend.

In the projection, Zhao Manying held the Jinghong Sword, flying at high speed in the sky, heroic, surrounded by colorful sword lights, attacking the opponent like a tide, almost crushing the entire opponent team by herself.

Although the opponent struggled to support, they still fell one after another under the sword light that crushed everything.

When the opponent's core players were killed by the sword light, the whole audience burst into a thunderous shout.

The battle is over!

Zhao Manying won the fourth championship trophy in her career, and it was four consecutive championships, which is the first time in the history of the domestic Super League.

Together with the six international invitational championships, she became the "ten-time champion".

And it was ten consecutive championships!

In four years, she won the championship in all the events she participated in, with a total winning rate of over 95%. Even in the few games she lost, it was because of the special mechanism of the map that she was forced to lose, and Zhao Manying herself was not killed.

Such a terrifying winning rate and honors make Zhao Manying comparable to "Godwalker" Jeffrey. Many commentators believe that she is already the first person in history.

Almost all the people at the scene were fans of the Emperor Star Team.

They were even more fans of Zhao Manying.

After she killed her opponent, she did not immediately exit the spiritual world. She hovered in the air, retracted the spiritual sword bracelet and fell on her wrist, she sheathed the Jinghong Sword, calmly waved to the camera, and showed a beautiful smile that turned everyone upside down.

"Wow..."

"Sword Fairy! Sword Fairy! Sword Fairy..."

At this moment, countless audiences across the country and even the world cheered for her, shouting her name and nickname enthusiastically.

Ji Xinghuo was sincerely happy for Zhao Manying.

He looked at his girlfriend on the screen and suddenly noticed some emotions that outsiders could not see. She didn't seem very excited.

Despite the bright smile, there was a bit of boredom in the depths of Zhao Manying's eyes.

Even boredom.

"Invincible loneliness..."

Ji Xinghuo laughed and understood Zhao Manying's thoughts.

She no longer had any opponents in her professional league, and she didn't even need teammates. She could kill the entire opponent team by herself. Defeating these opponents who are far weaker than themselves without any pressure again and again is like going through the motions, without any surprises or surprises. After many times, you will learn to feel bored.

As those clubs said when they put pressure on her, Zhao Manying has destroyed the balance of the Super League.

The popularity of the entire league has been sucked away by Zhao Manying.

The Emperor Star Club has made a lot of money, and other teams have become stepping stones and lost their competitiveness.

Competitiveness is the lifeblood of the league. If there is no suspense in every game and who will be the champion at the beginning of each season, then, except for the diehard fans, most of the audience will be lost.

This is also not good for Zhao Manying's own growth.

The audience began to revel.

The members of the Emperor Star team withdrew from the spiritual world, stepped onto the platform, and accepted the interview of the host amid the fanatical shouts.

Then came the award ceremony of this season, and the atmosphere on the scene reached a climax.

Ji Xinghuo was thoughtful.

Although Zhao Manying concealed it well and answered appropriately during the interview, winning praise from all the audience and winning her fourth "Golden Crown" representing the most valuable player, some people still noticed that she was not in high spirits.

However, most people did not think too much about it, because Zhao Manying's contract still had two years left.

The Emperor Star Club could not let her go.

When the contract ends, Zhao Manying will definitely win two more league championships, and the International Invitational Championship next week is also in the bag.

Fans are already imagining.

"Two years..."

Sitting in the front row, Ji Xinghuo looked at her, felt the enthusiasm of the audience around him, listened to their discussions, and shook his head.

"These two years should be used to impact legends, not wasted on the court." Ji Xinghuo touched his chin, "Manying's liquidated damages are more than 30 billion, and we are not short of this money."

But he was unhappy when he thought about giving so much money to the Shi family.

Ji Xinghuo came up with an idea: "Why not just buy the Imperial Star Club as a family asset. The value of the Imperial Star Club has soared in recent years and it is a high-quality asset, but will Shi Hongyi be willing to sell it?"
