MTL - Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 346 Electric Potential Glaive

Ji Xinghuo took one step back from the finish line and stood still.

 The timer on the big screen was frozen at 23 hours, 22 minutes and 45 seconds, and a line of big words was printed: New record!

At the moment when Ji Xinghuo hit the finish line, Sun King was less than 300 meters away from the finish line, but he did not slow down. He locked eyes with Ji Xinghuo and rushed towards him quickly, his eyes cold, as if he was going to hit Ji Xinghuo directly to death.

The audience at the scene exclaimed.

However, Ji Xinghuo had no intention of evading. He stood on the spot and faced the rushing Sun King.

Phew!

A strong wind roared, causing the surrounding audience to stagger, 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, with no expression on his face. However, everyone present felt a terrible and extreme sense of oppression. The entire square fell silent, and even the host was speechless for a moment.

Ji Xinghuo and Sun King looked at each other.

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

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

The Sun King took a few steps forward and reached out to shake Ji Xinghuo's hand.

 There were challenges and surprises today, but they were too much.

“It was His Excellency the Sun King who inspired me for this competition.” Ji Xinghuo said modestly.

The other one is the "Sword Saint" Xing Lie, who also came at some point. He is currently in a hotel not far from the square, standing at the window and watching the scene.

The Tenth Heavenly King and the Sixth Heavenly King, one is in the light and the other is in the dark, double guarding themselves, the Sun King will never dare to act rashly.

Since the Sun King cannot outrun himself, it can be seen that his speed is not as good as his own for the time being, so he has confidence.

 Finally, a smile appeared on his face.

 There is no special reason, I just don’t want to. I am happy.

The Sun King stared at Ji Xinghuo, showed that unpredictable smile again, and said softly: "I said, I won't do anything to you before you are promoted to the King of Heaven. You'd better be promoted to the King of Heaven as soon as possible, I have some Can’t wait.”

Whether you are a reporter or an audience watching the live broadcast, it feels very strange. It is so worthy of a special mention. It is the highlight of life and watched by tens of billions of people around the world. Don’t you have anything else to say?

 “Mr. Ji!”

 John Anthony's eyes twitched.

 But he didn’t want to say it.

 Of course there will be a lot of support. If you win based on your strength, what’s wrong with being a little crazy?

 “I admit that you won this time.”

Ji Xinghuo said seriously: "I will."

Ji Xinghuo naturally knew these answers.

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

His hand crossed the finish line, which also meant he completed the race, ten seconds slower than Ji Xinghuo. The final result, plus three illegal time penalties, was 22 hours, 25 minutes and 55 seconds.

A reporter from the New Roman Empire got ahead of him, put 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?"

"Congratulations."

 Fortunately, the reporter responded quickly. Another reporter then asked: "Does Mr. Ji have anything to say about the Sun King?"

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

Of course he will not forget that he told Ji Xinghuo on the day of the International Invitational Tournament that he likes challenges and is looking forward to Ji Xinghuo's performance, hoping to give himself some surprises.

 “He is a very strong opponent.” Ji Xinghuo replied.

The silent Sun King still had an expressionless face. Looking closely, Ji Xinghuo found that the lips of the man opposite him were very thin. When he was not speaking, they were like a line and twitched slightly. This was different from his image on the Internet. It should have been beautified. pass.

The Sun King nodded and saw a few event reporters coming over for interviews. He was originally very happy to be interviewed, but he was not interested and flew away with a bang.

 “Are you just happy?” the reporter immediately asked.

"Yes."

"hehe…"

Moreover, when Ji Xinghuo arrived at the finish line, she discovered two heavenly kings, one Luo Yimeng, through electromagnetic induction. When she knew she could win, she immediately gave up the race and flew directly back to Ivangrad from the Persian Gulf to wait.

 Or maybe talk about how much hard work and sweat you have put in for today’s victory, how difficult it was, etc.

"very good."

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

Even if you can't hit him head-on, you can still escape.

There were dozens of drones, aerial cameras and various lenses all around, aiming at Ji Xinghuo, completely surrounding him.

 The reporters were already used to his way of answering, and someone immediately continued to ask: "How did you do it? The super alien ran so fast, with a maximum speed exceeding Mach 4. Many viewers were curious."

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

 The reporters thought he had something else to say, and after waiting for a few seconds but no reply, they realized that he had finished his answer.

 “I’m very happy.” Ji Xinghuo replied.

Ji Xinghuo replied: "This is my secret."

Moreover, Ji Xinghuo ran into the line backwards, so arrogantly, which was a strong provocation to him. Even if the opponent is not the Sun King, but someone else, this way of hitting the line is still full of controversy. It is not illegal, but it goes against the spirit of competition and will cause dissatisfaction among many viewers.

“What did the Sun King just say to you?” asked an American reporter.

 “No comment.”

The AP reporter did not give up and asked eagerly: "You just crossed 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 crossing the line?"

“No reason, I thought it was more handsome, so I did it.” Ji Xinghuo looked at the reporter, “Please don’t read too much into it.”

“Will Mr. Ji participate in the next round-the-world marathon?”

 “It depends on the situation.”

"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 have no idea yet."

 “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 that I am ugly on the Internet and do not dare to disclose it publicly, please give up."

“I can vouch for Mr. Ji on this point.” The female reporter couldn’t help laughing.

 The surrounding reporters 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 something?"

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

"Wow…"

 The reporters and the audience all 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 on the wrong side of the ladder, right?” There was a reporter who 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 are very brief, sometimes only one or two words, yes or no.

 Journalists were not used to it at first.

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

 The two characters 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 were over. 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 congratulate one after another.

 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, and it 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 results also set a new record within 24 hours. He would have been the champion in previous years, but today he can only be ranked third.

 Luo Yimeng, who was originally in fourth place, gave up 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. As usual, an award ceremony was held 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 until the Sun King appeared. Being the 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 not willing to succumb to others.

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

Ji Xinghuo looked calm.

  Anyway, it’s others who are embarrassed, you are the champion, you just need to accept people’s cheers of victory.

 Amidst 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 has been invincible for two centuries and is like a dark cloud weighing on all mankind, finally lost once!

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

 This is not his peak strength.

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

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

 The current Ji Xinghuo is just a super alien.

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

In 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 presentation, Ji Xinghuo shook hands with "Freelander" Jeffrey next to him and congratulated each other.

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

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

Jeffrey once said a famous saying when he was still a competitive athlete: I can accept failure, but I can never accept giving up.

Ji Xinghuo nodded, "The next one will be in four years. By then, I will definitely come back to accept your challenge when I have time."

"challenge…"

Jeffrey chewed the word and said, “It’s a deal.”

 He turned around and flew away without saying anything else.

Ji Xinghuo watched the other party's figure disappear from sight. The two were hostile. With the current international situation, sooner or later they would have to fight on the battlefield, not just in the competition field. No matter what they said, it would be inappropriate.

 “Mr. Ji.”

　　The chairman of the organizing committee who had just awarded himself an award said enthusiastically: "The championship bonus will be transferred to your account today, and now you can choose other prizes."

 “Okay.” Ji Xinghuo agreed happily.

 When you participate in the Global Marathon yourself, the most important thing is the prize.

Those prizes provided by the Astral Ministry of the New Roman Empire were delivered to the site before the game and were kept in a vault under the building next to the square, with the outside guarded by the Roman Praetorian Guards.

Ji Xinghuo followed the chairman of the organizing committee into the building and came to the outer door of the vault.

Luo Yimeng also followed.

“Please ask Mr. Ji to pick three prizes.” The chairman of the organizing committee turned on the projection screen and displayed dozens of prizes.

Ji Xinghuo has seen it all a long time ago.

The champion can choose three prizes 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 items, he chose "Tears of the Stars" and "Electric Potential Glaive" respectively.

 The market value of Tears of the Stars is around 500 million Asian dollars, but it has a price but no market. Even if you have money, it is difficult to buy it immediately. You often have to rely on connections and consume connections.

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

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

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

　　The "Seikosho" that built the electric potential war blade was originally reluctant to take it out.

However, in order to attract enough foreigners to participate and enhance the city image of Ivangrad through the event, the Iron Emperor personally made the decision and put the "Electric Potential Blade" into the prize pool.

 Previously, when Ji Xinghuo saw it, he wanted it.

This super three-star weapon meets my needs in terms of weight, size and special abilities.

"Please wait."

 The chairman of the organizing committee ordered the Guards to open the vault.

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