Chapter 339 Royal Hunting Ground

Chapter 337 Meeting the Sun King for the First Time

The next morning, Ji Xinghuo woke up refreshed. He finished morning exercises with Zhao Manying and then went out for a walk in the morning.

At noon, Zhao Manying met with the team.

Ji Xinghuo practiced by himself in the exercise room in the hotel. Although his efficiency was far less than that of the Aether Research Institute, he could not slack off.

He practiced until the evening and went to the "Imperial Arena" to watch the opening ceremony of the "International Invitational Tournament".

In each International Invitational Tournament, last season's champions of major leagues and the team with the best record this season will be directly invited. Other places will be determined through preliminaries in various countries. In the end, 32 teams will enter the group stage.

The first group match of the night was full of stunts.

On one side is the defending champion "Emperor Star Team". Under the leadership of Zhao Manying, they have won the past five International Invitational Championships.

On the other side are the "Gladiators" of the New Roman Empire. The Gladiators Club has been established for more than a century. It is one of the earliest alien teams in the world and has countless fans. It is the favorite to win the Silla Super League this season.

Under the spotlight, the two teams entered the spiritual world.

A huge map projection appears in the Imperial Arena and is simultaneously spread around the world through the Internet.

Ji Xinghuo sat in the front row.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely lively, and they couldn't help but be infected, cheering loudly for the strangers on the field.

"The Sword Immortal is invincible!"

"Kill these Silla people!"

He just shouted a few times, and the audience around him stared at him angrily.

Most of the audience at the scene were Imperial people and supported the Gladiators. They were wearing the peripheral uniforms of the Gladiators team, but Ji Xinghuo was wearing Zhao Manying's uniform. He was sitting alone in the crowd of fans of the other team, looking out of place.

The first game ended in less than 20 minutes.

Zhao Manying controlled the sword light one after another and swept across the entire field. The aliens from the Gladiator team worked for a long time, but in the end they were shattered at the first touch.

He was taken away in one wave of fighting.

The entire audience was silent, and the few fans of the Emperor Star Club who had flown in from within the Asia-Pacific Community in the audience did not celebrate loudly.

"Cool!"

"Hahaha..." Ji Xinghuo remained unobtrusive and kept applauding Zhao Manying.

The battle process in the second game was slightly different, but the result was the same. No one in the Gladiator team could resist Zhao Manying's attack head-on. She was just like chopping melons and vegetables, killing all her opponents in one encounter.

The group stage was a best-of-five game, and after losing two games in a row, the Gladiators were already on the verge of defeat.

Although it was a double-elimination system, this was a huge blow to the New Roman Empire’s audience, and the enthusiasm for cheering and cheering faded a lot.

"There is not much time left for the gladiators."

Ji Xinghuo said loudly.

His words sounded particularly harsh at this moment. Immediately, some spectators around him couldn't bear it. They pointed at Ji Xinghuo and cursed: "Asian Communists, go back to your country!"

Ji Xinghuo turned to look at the other party.

The person who cursed was a strong man who was almost two meters tall. He was obviously a stranger. He looked like a "giant general" at first glance, so he had the confidence to stand up.

"Want to fight? Silly guy."

Ji Xinghuo smiled disdainfully and raised his finger at the strong man.

"Silly big guy" is a scornful name for great generals. They are often called "reckless man", "bodyguard", etc., mocking them for having only muscles and no brains.

Each career template has a similar nickname.

For example, the flying step is called "Scud", the iron guard is called "security guard", the swordsman is called "pretentious criminal and cheap guest", the martial artist is called "lancer and spear brother", the evil spirit is called "dead ghost", and the mind hacker is called "Peeping Tom" and so on.

The nickname of the magnetic field fanatic is "Electric Baton" because the magnetic field fanatic is always charged with electricity all over his body and can electrocute people like a hedgehog.

Sometimes called "Tian Lao", the brain is stimulated abnormally by the electric current.

These nicknames are often used by Yiren to make fun of themselves, but when they were called out by Ji Xinghuo, it was obviously a provocation.

There was a trace of electric current jumping in his eyes, which was very weak and could not be noticed by ordinary people.

The giant general didn't notice either.

He pulled up his sleeves and was about to cross the other spectators in the middle, but was held back by a friend next to him.

"Calm down! Petrov, he is a legend!"

The person who grabbed the giant general was a high-level stalker. His perception was far beyond that of ordinary people. He had long realized that the man sitting in the front row was extremely scary, but he was not sure about it and thought Ji Xinghuo was a legendary strongman.

The strong man immediately became scared and did not dare to say another word.

The surrounding spectators were all shocked.

Ji Xinghuo didn't pay attention to this episode and continued to cheer loudly for Zhao Manying. When he performed well, he would stand up and applaud.

The Imperial people next to them were too angry to speak out.

In the third game, the Gladiators were swept cleanly. The audience near Ji Xinghuo couldn't sit still for a second, and many people left the field early.

But some people stayed and watched the post-game interviews.

Ji Xinghuo didn't leave either. He watched Zhao Manying on the stage surrounded by countless cameras. After finishing the interview with reporters from various countries, he waved to her. Zhao Manying flew over, and the two left the field holding arms intimately.

Several spectators from the New Roman Empire nearby were stunned, including the great general and his friends.

"He is Ji Xinghuo!"

"Number one on the ladder, the boyfriend of the Sword Immortal!"

Cold sweat broke out on the strong man's forehead, and his face was full of fear. He was just a junior alien, and he almost attacked the leader of the ladder just now. He was simply seeking death.

A few days later.

Ji Xinghuo attended every game of the Emperor Star Team and cheered for Zhao Manying. No matter where he sat or who was around him, he applauded and cheered for Zhao Manying without restraint.

Someone had spread the news online.

Later, whenever Ji Xinghuo arrived at the scene, he was quickly recognized by the people around him, and naturally no one dared to trouble him.

The Emperor Star Team was invincible all the way, undefeated in the group stage, and entered the knockout stage as the top seed. In the knockout stage, they still maintained an undefeated record, defeated their opponents in a row, and finally made it out of the winner group and entered the final championship battle.

July 22.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Ji Xinghuo came to the Empire Arena again.

Tonight, the champion of this International Invitational will be born between the Emperor Star Team and the Space Cowboys Team.

The Space Cowboys Club comes from the American League, headquartered in the "New City That Never Sleeps" on the east coast of North America. The controller behind it is the "Xinxiang Consortium", one of the largest consortiums in the world. It is the most successful club in the American League, without a doubt.

Before this season, Space Cowboys invested hundreds of billions of dollars, made multiple deals, and bought several star competition aliens to form a galaxy battleship.

The starting five of Space Cowboys are all aliens in the top 100 of the ladder.

After the start of the game, Space Cowboys did not lose a single game in the American League Super League, locked the championship of this season halfway through, and aimed at this International Invitational.

Then, they were hit hard two days ago.

Space Cowboys played against the Emperor Star Team in the elimination match. The first game was very fierce and they almost won, but at the last moment Zhao Manying turned the tide, fought one against three, killed all opponents, and won thrillingly.

So far, this is the only opponent that can threaten the Emperor Star Team.

That game was rated as the most exciting game of this year.

Unfortunately, in the next two games, Space Cowboys were too affected by the loss of the first game, and they played worse and worse, and were swept into the loser group.

However, they adjusted back in time in the subsequent games, fought back from the loser group, and entered the final championship battle.

Tonight's game may be the most intense battle in recent years.

There are countless highlights.

One side is from the Asia-Pacific Community, and the other side is from the American Federation. The two super powers compete for hegemony, which echoes the current global political landscape.

Space Cowboys is the only team that has the possibility of defeating the Imperial Star in recent years.

With a luxurious lineup and all members being extraordinary people, if they still lose, it will be a huge blow to them.

And as long as Zhao Manying wins, she will become the second nine-time champion in history.

When Ji Xinghuo entered the stadium, there was still more than half an hour before the game, and the stadium was almost full.

Unlike the first game of the group stage, the audience composition of this game was relatively rich. Only a small half were from the Empire, and most of the rest were die-hard fans from the Asia-Pacific Community, the American Federation and other countries. The atmosphere was very warm.

The front row seats were also full of stars.

Star artists, Internet celebrities, socialites, legends, wealthy people, etc., no one who can sit here is unknown.

The ticket for the front seat costs millions of Asian dollars, but for celebrities, it is worth spending this money to get the opportunity to be exposed.

Ji Xinghuo recognized many people.

Li Xuan, the Thousand Illusion Swordsman, the An family's ice and fire brothers and sisters, as well as many strangers on the ladder and legend list, as well as movie kings, singers, etc., everyone's name is familiar, it can be said that the stars are shining.

Many celebrities from other countries also came, but Ji Xinghuo didn't recognize them very well.

His seat was not very front, in the tenth row.

Because he decided to come to Ivangelista too late, he couldn't buy the front row ticket, but it didn't make any difference.

Ji Xinghuo was about to take a seat when someone in the front row suddenly stood up.

"Xinghuo."

An Yitian greeted enthusiastically.

When he called out his name, the people in the nearby seats turned their heads and looked over. Although most people here are either rich or noble, either powerful or powerful, or both, they are not as excited as ordinary people, but they are also full of curiosity about Ji Xinghuo.

Now on Earth, everyone knows Ji Xinghuo.

However, except for those who have met him offline, Ji Xinghuo still maintains a mysterious veil on the Internet.

Everyone wanted to know what the boyfriend of the number one sword master looked like.

People looked at them with curiosity and scrutiny.

Ji Xinghuo ignored them and nodded to An Yitian, "Senior An." Then he greeted Li Xuan, "Brother Li."

His duel bet with Li Xuan was already well known.

The two of them were face to face, which immediately attracted people's inquiry.

Li Xuan slowly stood up. He enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. With a bright smile on his face, he said loudly: "You call An Yitian senior, but call me brother Li. How can you call me a generation lower for no reason?"

An Yitian is more than 20 years older than him. Although he is the king of heaven, Ji Xinghuo did not call him wrong.

Li Xuan said this just to make a joke.

But Ji Xinghuo didn't buy it at all. He pretended not to hear it and sat in his seat.

Li Xuan's smile froze.

Seeing that Ji Xinghuo didn't even look at him, he had to smile awkwardly and turned around to sit back.

Everyone around him suppressed their expressions and pretended not to see it. It has long been rumored that Ji Xinghuo and Li Xuan have conflicts, and it is indeed true, otherwise the two would not have made such a big bet for a star-falling alien species.

After Ji Xinghuo sat down, people came to him from time to time to talk in a low voice, wanting to get to know him.

He didn't refuse, just talked a few words and added contact information.

The game was about to start.

The solemn voice of the host suddenly sounded in the venue, and a man in casual clothes appeared on the large projection screen in the middle.

"Tonight, our great majesty is here at the Imperial Arena..."

Everyone in the audience was attracted to it.

Ji Xinghuo didn't look at the screen, but turned his head and looked directly at a box above the venue. The man who was standing in the box and waving at the camera at this moment was the emperor of the New Roman Empire, "Iron Emperor" Ivan * Zhugashvili.

The first impression of the appearance of the Iron Emperor is perseverance.

His facial features are not prominent, he has thick black hair, and his height is only about 1.7 meters, which is less than the average height, but he is intimidating without anger, revealing a majesty that seems to be born with him.

His body is not tall, but it contains the power of steel!

In the host's passionate flattery, the Iron Emperor looked around, and wherever his eyes went, he would cause cheers from the people of the empire.

There were other people in the box.

Ji Xinghuo saw Princess Sophia, but his attention was not on her. He was completely attracted by another man beside her.

His pupils shrank slightly.

This blond, blue-eyed, strong man was the new Sun King John Anthony.

The first and second kings were both present!

On the big screen, after the host introduced the Iron Emperor, the camera focused on the Sun King. The day before yesterday, the Sun King led the United States delegation to Ivangelista, making headlines.

At this moment, John Anthony stepped forward, stood side by side with the Iron Emperor, and waved to the audience.

He showed a standard smile on his face, looking approachable.

However, compared with the Iron Emperor, the Sun King was slightly less popular. After all, this was the New Roman Empire, and people were not familiar with him.

Ji Xinghuo's electromagnetic induction spread out, and immediately felt the power of the two kings. Their etheric energy fluctuations were not deliberately converged. Among the hundreds of thousands of people on the scene, they were like two lighthouses, so bright in the dark!

Only a few kings could match them.

But there is also a big gap.

The second only to them is Luo Yimeng, who is in another box. In the past few days in Ivangelista, the two have kept in touch secretly, but have not appeared together in public.

Ji Xinghuo was about to look away, when suddenly, the Sun King looked over.

The two looked at each other.

The Sun King's expression paused for half a second. The Iron Emperor noticed his change and immediately looked at Ji Xinghuo in the audience, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes, but he did not speak.

But in the next second, the Sun King suddenly stepped out of the box, his figure flashed as fast as lightning, and fell from the sky.

In an instant, the Sun King appeared in front of Ji Xinghuo.
