MTL - Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 352 Stars gather

 October 1st.

 One week after Ji Xinghuo was promoted to Legend, the date for his duel with Li Xuan arrived at 7pm.

 But as always, he went to the Ether Research Institute to practice for a long time.

Ji Xinghuo left in the afternoon.

He took a luxury maglev speeding on the superconducting highway and soon left Chang'an city and entered the Qinling Mountains south of the suburbs. He drove on the winding mountain road and arrived at a villa built on the mountainside overlooking Chang'an.

This is the house chosen by the eldest sister Ye Dongyun, and the family has been living in it for more than two months.

 Normally, Ji Xinghuo takes turns living in his and Zhao Manying's apartment, but he comes to stay for a day or two every weekend.

The car drove into the parking lot.

Although it is a villa, it has seven or eight buildings and more than 200 acres of garden land, so it can be regarded as a small manor.

It’s just that they didn’t hire servants like the manors of the New Roman Empire, and all they used were domestic robots.

Electromagnetic induction swept across the villa, and family and friends were all there.

This duel has attracted global attention due to Li Xuan's hype. Every friend is very concerned about it and will attend the scene to cheer.

 It was just afternoon and everyone arrived.

Ji Xinghuo simply invited everyone to his home, just in time to get together and set off together in the evening.

 “Starfire is back!”

There is a large lawn in the garden with a wide view and beautiful scenery, overlooking most of Chang'an. There is also a standard-sized heated swimming pool with flowers and plants planted around it to block the prying eyes of outsiders.

Ye Dongyun arranged tables, chairs, sofas and drinks nearby, and everyone gathered together in twos and threes to chat.

As soon as Ji Xinghuo's car arrived at the door, everyone noticed it.

He stepped onto the grass beside the swimming pool leisurely, and first looked at Zhao Manying with a smile on his face.

 Then he looked at everyone.

The five siblings are all here. Zhao Manying's younger brother Zhao Zangming, Emperor Star Club's Qi Feng, Jiangnan Caiyi, Lu Yunhai and his wife, and their teammates who hunted the Nile monitor lizard together, Chi Zhonglin and Zhuo Ligetu, I'm drunk.

There is also Wu Qifeng, a college classmate. After the last wedding, the two of them have been in constant contact and their relationship is closer than when they were in college.

 An Yitian and An Zhisu, the brother and sister, and Su Ziyou.

 There was a guest beside them, which surprised Ji Xinghuo.

Wang Yinlong, who is number one on the legend list!

We met in Ivangrad two months ago, and we agreed to have a chance to have a discussion, but it has not yet come true.

 “Brother Wang.”

Ji Xinghuo said hello.

Wang Yinlong is just 42 years old, not much older than himself.

“Xinghuo, I’m taking the liberty of visiting today. Do you mind if I watch the battle between you and Li Xuan at night?” Wang Yinlong said with a smile.

 “It’s a small matter, welcome!”

Ji Xinghuo didn’t take it seriously.

 His eyes swept across the four legends, all of them were powerful men on the legend list. Their strength and reputation were outstanding. His family and friends were in awe of them. Although they had no airs, they were inevitably a little alienated.

 Fortunately, Zhao Manying, as half the hostess, came forward to entertain them, so they would not be left in the cold.

Su Ziyou suddenly asked: "Xinghuo, how confident are you in this battle tonight?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was attracted.

“99%.” Ji Xinghuo answered with a relaxed look.

 “So awesome!”

An Yitian couldn't help but be stunned, a little unbelievable.

He is ranked 24th on the legend list. He became famous before Li Xuan. Although he knows that Li Xuan, the internet celebrity king, may be one of the weakest among the kings in the world, no matter how weak he is, he is still a king.

If he is allowed to play against Li Xuan, there is no certainty.

"Haha, I just said it casually." Ji Xinghuo didn't explain much.

 Actually, he wanted to say 100%.

However, considering that on the day when the bet was made, Li Xuan's confidence suddenly soared, the 1% possibility of failure was due to this unexpected factor.

 “I believe you!”

Chi Zhonglin came over and put his arm around Ji Xinghuo's shoulder, holding an expensive bottle of wine in the other hand, and said loudly: "Xinghuo even beat the Sun King, but Li Xuan, it's not easy to defeat him!"

 Family and friends kept nodding and had similar views.

Wang Yinlong smiled and was noncommittal.

Of course he will not underestimate Ji Xinghuo's strength, but he is not optimistic about Ji Xinghuo either. Others don't know how powerful the Heavenly King is. As the number one in the legend list, his vision and experience are far beyond those of ordinary people, and he understands this deeply.

 Several other legends have similar ideas.

Su Ziyou sighed: "If you defeat Li Xuan, you will be the first person on earth to defeat the King of Heaven!"

 From junior aliens to legends, cross-level challenges and even kills happen from time to time.

 However, no one on earth has ever surpassed the level and defeated the King of Heaven.

Wu Qifeng said enviously: "Xinghuo, you have already set many records. It would not be surprising to do something that others cannot do again."

 Everyone was drinking and chatting.

 Because of the arrival of Ji Xinghuo, he serves as a bridge between family friends and several legends, and the atmosphere is relaxed and harmonious.

Of course, the focus of the conversation is still the battle at night.

Everyone talked about Rise, found out information about Li Xuan's abilities and past videos, analyzed him, and made suggestions for Ji Xinghuo.

 In fact, Zhao Manying has been doing this since last month.

However, there were four strong men on the legendary list present. Judging from their perspectives and experiences, Ji Xinghuo gained something else.

 A maglev car drove into the villa.

 The two people who got out of the car were very familiar. They were Jing Ji and Yuan Chongzhen.

“Long time no see.” Ji Xinghuo greeted him and said with a smile. The last time we met was on a hunting trip to Africa. Electromagnetic induction scanned the two of them, and they were still super aliens. Not everyone can easily break through the bottleneck and become a legend. Even if they are all aliens on the ladder, it will take a long time.

Jingji was also looking at Ji Xinghuo and sighed: "I haven't seen you for more than a year, but you have done so many great things."

“We all heard about you in the star realm and rushed back here because we didn’t want to miss tonight’s show.” Yuan Chongzhen continued.

Chi Zhonglin and Zhuo Ligetu came around and greeted each other cheerfully.

 Ji Xinghuo went back to his room.

When he came out, he called the two of them aside and gave them each an ultra-limited mutant. Jingji got the "True Spirit Fugue", and Yuan Chongzhen got the mutant incarnation of a "Fungus Giant". They were both of high quality and very special. Fit their career template.

 The two of them did not refuse, but happily accepted it and expressed their gratitude.

 Six o'clock in the evening.

 The group of people set off from the villa and took their own cars to the duel venue.

 Most of the arrangements for today's duel were decided by Li Xuan.

Of course, he had discussed the most important key points with Ji Xinghuo in advance and obtained their consent.

Li Xuan hired a professional team of hundreds of people to operate the live broadcast channel, sponsorship, ticket sales, advertising bidding, hosting, etc.

Ji Xinghuo did not intervene. He only asked a few trustworthy people under Zhao Manying to join the operation team and supervise the whole process to avoid being taken advantage of by Li Xuan.

 The battle venue is set to be the "Tianqin National Stadium".

This is what Ji Xinghuo agreed to. It is also the home court of the Emperor Star Team and they want to borrow the spiritual world of the stadium.

 For tonight’s showdown, leagues at all levels at home and abroad have adjusted their schedules to avoid collisions.

When we arrived at the Tianqin National Stadium, there was already a sea of ​​people outside.

 The grand occasion was comparable to the finals of the Emperor Star Team.

Two months ago, more than 400,000 tickets were sold out in less than a minute after they were put on sale. The average price exceeded 10,000 Asian dollars. Including VIP boxes, the revenue share from the tickets alone was more than 5 billion. .

˜Virtual tickets for watching the game online, small profits but quick turnover, with more than one billion tickets sold worldwide!

  And it’s still growing rapidly.

 Other income, including live broadcasts, sponsorships, advertising, etc., all added up, the income from today’s battle must exceed 50 billion Asian dollars.

 The bet signed by the two people was 150 billion.

 This is a battle worth 200 billion. It is the battle with the most gimmicks, the most topical topics, and the most attention in the world in more than ten years!

  Ji Xinghuo entered the stadium through the official passage with his family and friends.

 He booked the best VIP box, which can accommodate more than 20 people to watch together.

Enter the box and look down at the entire Tianqin Stadium. Most of the more than 400,000 seats are filled, surrounding the oval venue in the middle. The venue is bustling with people, and hundreds of millions of viewers are already waiting in the live broadcast room.

 Five hosts and guests are warming up before the game, analyzing the two's strengths, comparing them from all aspects, and guiding the audience to judge the winner.

 A promotional video was played on a huge projection screen.

However, most of the content of the promotional video is mainly about Li Xuan, and Ji Xinghuo appears in less than one-fifth of the scenes.

 This was obviously ordered by Li Xuan, but Ji Xinghuo didn't care.

 The camera switched to the private room.

Ji Xinghuo was shown on the big screen. He was sitting there with a relaxed posture, talking to his friends around him.

The scene immediately erupted in cheers. Ji Xinghuo waved to the camera and then ignored it.

 He himself was very relaxed, but his family members were nervous.

Except for Zhao Manying, none of them had ever experienced such a big battle, and they were more nervous than Ji Xinghuo himself.

 It’s approaching seven o’clock.

The Tianqin Stadium is already packed. Celebrities from all walks of life are sitting in the front rows and in the boxes, including kings, legends, rich men, movie stars and queens, etc. There are also many celebrities who have come from abroad. Some of them are here to join in the fun, and some are here to make fun of themselves. Of course, there are also those who simply come to watch the game.

Ji Xinghuo saw many familiar faces. They also saw Ji Xinghuo, but they did not come to disturb him.

 Before the show started, Li Xuan came to the box.

He is still wearing an ancient robe as always. Today, the robe is more exquisite and luxurious. His immortal style, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes make him look like the hero from a fairy tale movie and TV series.

 The box became quiet.

Ji Xinghuo stood up, met Li Xuan's eyes, and looked at the people around him.

Several floating cameras followed around, filming Li Xuan from multiple angles. He was accompanied by several official staff in uniforms.

 They come from the national notary office.

 The two sides shook hands.

 In front of the camera, Li Xuan said seriously: "According to the contract, we must notarize it before the show starts."

"good."

Ji Xinghuo didn't waste any time. He took out the "absolute hit" alien species and gave it to an alien species expert at the notary office for identification.

 Li Xuan opened his bank account on the spot and showed his funds.

 After the notary office confirms that there are no problems, both parties will confirm separately.

 Originally, in accordance with the professional procedures of the notary office, Ji Xinghuo was to hand over the alien species to a third party for safekeeping, and Li Xuan's account funds were to be frozen. After the winner was determined, the third party would directly hand over the bet to the winner.

But the value of the Starfall Alien Species is too high, 150 billion Asian dollars is also a huge amount of money, and it is difficult to find a third party to keep and operate it.

 So, the two decided to keep it on their own.

Neither Ji Xinghuo nor Li Xuan are afraid of the other party's default. Although the stakes are high, they are not worth the risk to their reputations.

 “Then I’ll see you on the court and wish you good luck.” Li Xuan showed his confidence and calmness.

Ji Xinghuo just smiled.

 He watched Li Xuan leave the box and sat down again.

Although tonight is a duel between two people, in order to enrich the content, extend the live broadcast time, and increase revenue, Li Xuan also arranged other programs. Two teams composed of celebrities, well-known aliens, and retired competition aliens will first Five games.

In between each game, entertainment performances were also interspersed, all of which were top-notch artists from across the country and even the world, gathering a large number of stars.

 Finally, Ji Xinghuo and Li Xuan appeared.
