MTL - Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 343 Supersonic Running

Ji Xinghuo waved to the crowd around him, triggering a burst of shouting, but his face was still blocked on the live broadcast screen.

 The audience can only see his figure and movements, and hear his voice.

A reporter was about to go up for an interview, but Ji Xinghuo turned around and walked into the preparation hall where the event started.

 The marathon is divided into four levels.

Each level of competition will be held today, and the guns will be fired in turn.

 The number of participants in the Global Marathon is the smallest, with less than 300 participants in total. They are basically legends, and a few are kings and super aliens. Although there are no registration requirements for the Global Marathon, it must be reviewed by the organizing committee.

 When Ji Xinghuo came in, most of the global-level players had already arrived and were making final preparations.

 He looked around and saw many familiar people.

Due to Sun King’s participation, this year’s Global Marathon is particularly competitive, with more applicants than in previous years.

"coming."

Just like Zhao Manying today, his light eclipses all his opponents at the same time and he is the undisputed number one player in the competition.

The Sun King answered without hesitation.

The Sun King greeted him kindly, and the players in the hall responded enthusiastically, and their performance was no better than that of the audience outside.

 The kings ranked before him are all seniors who are over 100 years old.

Without the Sun King, there would not be much suspense in this round-the-world marathon, and Freelander would win his seventh championship.

This king of heaven is best known for his speed, known as the fastest in the world, so he is called the "Freelander".

 “One hundred percent.”

Jeffrey retired after being promoted to Legend, and immediately entered the Star World for adventure. He quickly climbed onto the Legend List and became number one. He dominated the list for fifteen years until he was promoted to King at the age of 49 and is currently ranked 13th. Bit.

On the live broadcast screen, John Anthony talked eloquently and patiently answered several reporters' questions. He was decent and humble, which attracted the favor of many people.

Nowadays, Jeffrey has long gotten rid of the label of being a "competitive stranger". People's impression of him is more of an extremely powerful king. Sooner or later, he will enter the top ten in the world and even compete with the Big Three. Down.

 The chairman of the marathon organizing committee had already been waiting, respectfully leading the Sun King through the door.

Ji Xinghuo was about to enter the locker room when a sudden roar and tsunami sounded outside.

However, most people focused on participating and never thought about winning the Sun King.

 Back then, Freelander had no rivals.

 All won the championship.

 John Anthony paid tribute to all around, then landed on the ground and began to be interviewed by reporters.

 The expressions on everyone's faces varied from curiosity to envy to nervousness. No one showed any disrespect towards the strongest man on earth.

This is a one-piece jacket made of special materials. It has high elasticity and is very light. It fits the body lines after wearing it, which can reduce wind resistance, keep warm and breathable. The appearance design is also very fashionable, with both chest, front and back. There is a race logo.

I saw a figure slowly falling from the sky, wearing a blue and red battle uniform, and a cape with American Union flag stripes on the back. His blond hair was meticulously combed, with a smile on his face, hovering in the air towards him. People waved.

 He ​​is 80 years old and dominated an entire era before retiring from the game.

"Hahaha…"

 Everyone looked at the live broadcast screen in the hall.

 An Yitian waved his hand towards Ji Xinghuo.

"Jeffrey." The Sun King smiled, "Today we will compete to see who is faster."

 He has participated in six round-the-world marathons before.

This black man is Jeffrey Aljordan, the 13th-ranked "Freelander" on the King List. He is from the American League and is a Freelander by profession. He is the most successful competitive stranger in history, and is what Zhao Manying wants to surpass. That senior.

His eyes swept across the crowd, nodded to the kings present, and stopped on a black man.

 The players stood up one after another.

In addition to running jackets, the organizing committee has also prepared professional running shoes for the athletes, but it is not mandatory to wear them. It is up to the athletes to decide.

Ji Xinghuo nodded, and the runners in the preparation hall looked over. They had all put on the racing uniforms customized by the organizing committee.

He sat with his eyes closed and meditated. After hearing the Sun King's words, he opened his eyes and took a look. He stood up and said, "You are just here to compete for second place."

 The Sun King is coming!

 In the preparation hall, everyone looked at the man on the screen.

 The crowd cheered louder and louder.

 “Mr. Anthony!” a reporter asked loudly, “How sure are you of winning today’s round-the-world marathon?”

 “Good morning everyone.”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the players changed slightly, but they were not surprised.

He looked relaxed and said to the camera: "I am participating in the Global Marathon today not to prove anything. With my strength, there is nothing I need to prove. My purpose is to attract people around the world to pay attention to sports." .Marathon is a very good sport. It can exercise our body and strengthen our spirit. As long as everyone persists, we will definitely realize the benefits of exercise to us..."

 It was not until ten minutes later that John Anthony ended the interview and walked into the preparation hall under the tracking of the camera.

Jeffrey is tall and well-proportioned, nearly two meters tall. His shaved head and dark skin do not affect his strong aura at all. Instead, he has a calm and domineering feeling, and his sharp eyes are unforgettable.

 Everyone looked at the black man sitting in the corner.

John Anthony was stunned for a moment when he heard Jeffrey's response, and then laughed loudly: "Although you are the senior, I will not be humble. You should leave this second place to yourself."

Jeffrey raised the corners of his mouth, sat down and did not reply.

The Sun King looked at the others. In addition to him and Strider, there were four other Heavenly Kings participating in the competition today.

Luo Yimeng, the "Master Chaofeng" ranked tenth on the Heavenly King List;

 A king from the New Roman Empire, whose occupation is "Edge Walker", ranked 24th;

 The "Flying Artist" ranked 35th. He is an advanced "Sky Patroller" of Fei Bu and Xie Feng Ke. He is extremely good at flying and often performs his flying skills online. He was born in South America, but claims to be a stateless person;

And Li Xuan, who is ranked 45th, he is purely here to join in the fun and gain traffic exposure.

 The six heavenly kings present are all known for their speed.

 There are also many legends, including several "marathon strangers" who run professionally and at extremely fast speeds, but none of them are in the eyes of the Sun King.

 “Mr. Ji.”

The Sun King saw Ji Xinghuo and said, "We meet again."

Ji Xinghuo nodded slightly but said nothing. Before he had the strength to resist the Sun King, he did not want to have too much contact with the other party.

John Anthony smiled meaningfully and said nothing else.

Ji Xinghuo entered the locker room and put on a running jacket, which was close-fitting and light. The jacket contained a sensor chip that could locate the player's position and monitor whether the player violated any rules during running and the number of penalties accumulated.

In addition to this coat, Ji Xinghuo wore "flying flying shoes" on his feet and two rings on his fingers.

One is your own "Ring of Photosynthesis", which comes with etheric resonance and photosynthetic reaction, speeding up the recovery of star power. Just exposure to the sun can replenish energy and restore physical strength.

 A "Wandering Star Ring" temporarily borrowed by the Astral Ministry, with three super stars, which can speed up movement speed and star power recovery, and increase one's battery life.

This pair of shoes and two rings are already the best in the world.

After changing his equipment, Ji Xinghuo took out an ether refining solvent and drank it. There were also three potions provided by the Astral Ministry, which all had the effect of speeding up, speeding up recovery, and saving energy. All in order to run faster and last longer. . There are no restrictions on drugs and equipment in the Global Marathon, and there are no doping tests. Runners can use them however they want.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

Ji Xinghuo prepared himself and took a breath.

With all kinds of luxury equipment and potions stacked on top of each other, he felt as if there was inexhaustible star power in his body, and his physical energy was inexhaustible, and he wanted to vent it out.

 “It’s time to go out.”

 Coming out of the locker room, almost everyone has changed their equipment and is ready to go.

Only the Sun King is still wearing his battle clothes. It seems that he is not planning to change or make any preparations.

 The countdown is already on the screen in the preparation hall.

 The four levels of competition all start from the same place, but the routes are different.

The first thing to start was the Classical Marathon. The runners were all ordinary people. There were hundreds of thousands of people taking part. The streets at the starting point were crowded. The entire track was in the city of Ivangrad, with a total distance of 42.195 kilometers.

 This ancient sport commemorates a victory in a battle more than 2,700 years ago.

Today, the physical fitness of ordinary people has improved significantly, and the world record has entered within 1 hour and 40 minutes, and it is slowly improving every year.

 With the sound of a gunshot.

Hundreds of thousands of runners started running in batches, and it took half an hour for all the runners to run out of the starting point.

 Then there is the Thousand Mile Marathon, where the runners cannot exceed senior foreigners, and there are more than 50,000 participants.

　　Many high-level aliens can do it by running a thousand kilometers in one breath. Because the speed difference is not big, runners often rush from the starting point to the finish line, and there are opponents fighting the whole way. The competition is very fierce and very exciting.

 From a competitive perspective, the Thousand Mile Marathon is the most exciting.

 Then comes the ten-thousand-mile marathon.

This level is a track for super aliens and legends. There are nearly 10,000 people, most of whom are super aliens and "marathon aliens" who specialize in running. They have the highest technical content and the most professional competitive level.

 Before 12 noon, all the runners of the Global Marathon arrived at the starting point.

There are more than 300 players. Compared with the number of people in the first three levels, they seem sparse. There is not even a row behind the starting line.

 In terms of sportsmanship, the Global Marathon is not as good as the Classical Marathon;

 In terms of excitement, it is not as good as a thousand-mile marathon;

 In terms of professional competition, it is not as good as a marathon;

 But the Globe Marathon has the largest audience, because in the eyes of ordinary people, all the runners participating in the Globe Marathon are superhuman.

 They run the fastest and last the longest.

Every candidate is not an unknown person, there are six Heavenly Kings alone, not to mention the Sun King.

At this time, the number of people watching the live broadcast has exceeded 3 billion, and it is still skyrocketing.

Ji Xinghuo stood behind the starting line, with a huge projection screen in the sky showing the route of the race.

The starting point of this round-the-world marathon is Ivangrad, then all the way east, passing through the Asia Minor Peninsula and entering the Middle East, passing through the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, crossing Central Asia and entering the borders of the Asia-Pacific Community, running along the Silk Road into Chang'an, and then heading north Arrive at the Bohai Bay, go back along the coastline and pass through many metropolitan areas of the Asia-Pacific Community, reach Southeast Asia, go west to the coast of the South Asian Union, then run back to the Middle East, circle half of the Arabian Peninsula, cross the Suez Canal, and run south along the Nile River to Victoria. lake, and then back along the east coast of Africa, eventually returning to Ivangrad.

 The total distance is exactly 40,075 kilometers, which is equivalent to circling the Earth's equator once.

Each player has a separate live broadcast channel, and during the running process, at least two supersonic drones follow them at all times.

 At the same time, there are high-resolution satellites in the sky following and taking pictures.

If it is a star athlete in focus, there will be more drones and satellites following the athlete to show the running situation from multiple angles.

 As the countdown entered, hundreds of drones flew from the sky and locked onto the players on the ground.

 “10, 9, 8…”

Amidst the shouts of tens of thousands of spectators around, a gunshot was fired, and the four-year-old Global Marathon finally started!

boom.

At the same time as the gunfire sounded, more than 300 people were fired out like arrows, and a strong wind blew in the place.

 Boom, boom, boom…

Violent sonic booms resounded through the sky, and the crowd watching at the scene was hundreds of meters away, still being blown around.

 When they came to their senses, they found that the starting line was empty.

Ji Xinghuo lowered his body and leaned forward. The moment the starting gun sounded, his whole body flew out like a bullet, breaking the sound barrier in an instant, and his running speed reached 350 meters per second.

 The advantages of “acceleration” are reflected.

 Everyone is left behind, and Ji Xinghuo stands out in the picture.

He took turns to step with both feet, keeping close to the ground. His pace was more than 10 times per second, and he could reach more than 30 meters in one step. However, he always kept his feet off the ground for no more than 0.1 seconds at the same time. His core was as stable as a mountain, with extreme fluctuations. Small, lean forward slightly to keep the angle with the ground at about 50 degrees.

The wind roared in my ears like thunder.

 The street scenes on both sides receded quickly, passing through the field of vision like a stream of light, creating a blur and distortion in front of the eyes.

But this had no effect on Ji Xinghuo. His mind was extremely clear, and electromagnetic induction mapped the surrounding scenery and movement in his heart.

 He kept running at supersonic speed.

In the sky, four drones locked onto Ji Xinghuo and followed him simultaneously.

The main channel of the live broadcast screen also switched to Ji Xinghuo. At the current position of the players, he is also leading the way.

The host commented quickly, and everyone expressed surprise.

However, there are two people in the picture who are approaching quickly, one behind the other, only a few dozen meters apart, one is the Sun King and the other is the Strider.

 After a few seconds of acceleration, the Sun King's speed has reached about 450 meters per second.

Freelander is not far behind, second only to Sun King in speed.

 Ji Xinghuo’s lead lasted less than 10 seconds.

Phew!

 As soon as the sound exploded, a strong wind swept around Ji Xinghuo, and he was overtaken by the Sun King, and gradually widened the distance.

The Sun King's flag cloak was flapping behind him, which was extremely eye-catching.

A few seconds later, a tall, dark figure also caught up with him. His running posture was relaxed and unrestrained, like a black lightning that surpassed Ji Xinghuo. It was Freelander.

Ji Xinghuo was not impatient and maintained his cruising speed at just over Mach 1.

 It only took him three minutes to run out of Ivangrad.

At this time, Luo Yimeng also caught up. Her skin was glowing with colored light, and a pair of colorful wings appeared behind her. Her running pace was not particularly high, but she could cover a hundred meters with each step. Like flying, but not breaking the rules.

"Can you be faster?" Luo Yimeng and Ji Xinghuo were running side by side, and turned to ask: "If this continues, we will lose."

Ji Xinghuo said calmly, "There's no rush, let them run 10,000 kilometers first."
