Chapter 353: Building Momentum for the Debut

It was seven o'clock in the evening.

The lights of the Tianqin National Stadium dimmed.

After waiting for a few seconds, a spotlight shone on the stage rising in the middle of the field, and several dancers in gorgeous costumes appeared.

The opening program was a dance performance.

The dancers were all extraordinary people, who could do movements that ordinary people could not do, jumping, spinning, and flying. Their dance moves were graceful and full of power. The background and projection special effects combined presented the audience with a wonderful audio-visual feast.

This was just the opening. The number of viewers in the online live broadcast room and virtual platform combined exceeded 1.5 billion!

After the dancers left the stage, deafening grand music sounded in the stadium, and two hosts, one male and one female, appeared.

Both of them are top hosts in the world.

In their introduction, two teams composed of stars, celebrities and retired competition extraordinary people came on stage.

A total of sixteen contestants, handsome men and beautiful women and extraordinary people, all of whom are well-known household names. Each of them had a special introduction when they appeared on the stage, which aroused the cheers of their fans and the atmosphere was very warm.

These people were all selected by Li Xuan.

It is said that there are many celebrities who want to participate. In order to get a place, many people find connections, mobilize their networks, and even bid high prices.

In the end, Li Xuan made the final decision and selected these 16 people and divided them into two teams.

Each team has five starters and three substitutes. They named the team, set up a temporary club, designed team uniforms and slogans, and hired the coaching team of the Super League. They started training tactics a month in advance. The professionalism is no less than that of the professional league.

Their team training is also followed by live broadcast throughout the process, which has been made into a variety show with high ratings.

The fans of each team member quarreled, stepped on, and abused on the Internet, which was very dramatic and exciting.

Today is the time for them to decide the winner.

Five games, three wins.

After the two teams appeared, the first game started immediately.

The players of both sides walked onto the platforms at both ends of the stadium, where there were glass soundproof booths so that the audience could see what was going on inside.

All the procedures are consistent with the Super League.

Five minutes of preparation countdown, the players gathered around the team coach, each with a serious expression, making the final tactical arrangements and psychological preparation.

Anyone who often watches the game is familiar with this scene.

On the live screen, the commentators also began to analyze the situation of the two teams, speaking clearly and making sure that the audience would not feel bored while waiting.

In the box.

Zhao Manying looked at the scene and smiled softly: "It's quite professional."

As the first active contestant, and her home court, she has played hundreds of games here and is very familiar with it. Today is the first time to watch the game from the perspective of the audience, which is a bit novel.

"It's all arranged by Li Xuan's team." Ji Xinghuo nodded, "This is his strong point."

Li Xuan can become a king and reach his current status by relying on top marketing ability, which is no worse than his cultivation talent, or even stronger.

Wang Yinlong also said: "If Qianhuan Swordsman concentrates on starting a business, he will definitely be able to build a huge business empire."

"How much money can he make?" Liangqiu Feiyan couldn't help but admire.

Ye Dongyun knows something about this aspect. "Not to mention the world's richest man, it's definitely no problem to have trillions of dollars. He can be among the top few on the national rich list."

The expressions of the people in the box were different.

Some people were yearning, some were shocked, and some were unmoved and very calm.

An Yitian sighed, "If I had to choose between one trillion and the king, I would definitely choose the king."

"Me too." Su Ziyou said.

Everyone became interested and answered this hypothesis one by one.

It is obvious that most people choose to become the king. There are more than a hundred people and families with trillions of wealth in the world, and there are only 49 kings. Moreover, there are several kings who have trillions of assets at the same time.

Power and wealth are not contradictory.

Sometimes they are closely linked. When an alien has powerful power, wealth will naturally follow.

"Let's start."

The five starting players of the two teams all lay in the projection cabin and entered the spiritual world.

A huge screen was projected in the middle of the stadium, which was exactly the scene in the spiritual world. It was three-dimensional, allowing the audience to see it clearly and feel as if they were there. It was also spread to the whole world through the Internet.

The first game was very exciting.

The two teams were balanced in strength, and the players were very strong in their individual strength and tactics. The game was difficult to tell until the end.

Ji Xinghuo watched with great interest, and the audience was also reluctant to leave.

There were also performances in the middle of each game.

The performer was a long-established and well-known queen, who was cheered enthusiastically by the audience. Ji Xinghuo often listened to her songs. After she came on stage, she sang three songs in a row, turning the competition stage into her own concert.

Then came the second game.

And so on.

I don’t know if it was the script or the tactics that were well arranged. The two teams won in turns. After one team lost, the next game immediately won back.

The first four games ended in a tie.

Not only were there performances in the intervals between each game, but the time for each game was full, and no game was won quickly, while ensuring the excitement.

The audience enjoyed the game, and the players had a great time playing. It was very exciting.

The Internet was very popular.

Media from all countries around the world were reporting the game in real time, and related topics were everywhere on social platforms.

In the fifth game, the number of people watching the live broadcast has exceeded 4 billion.

This is close to one-tenth of the world's total population!

The revenue from selling broadcast rights and online tickets alone tonight's match is far beyond expectations.

"Li Xuan is really a genius."

Chi Zhonglin checked the live broadcast data and couldn't help but sigh. His words were unanimously agreed by everyone in the box.

Ji Xinghuo also had to admire Li Xuan's marketing ability.

If there was an era without superpowers, or a world where power did not overwhelm capital and power, people like Li Xuan would inevitably become big figures who could call the wind and rain, instead of just being an Internet celebrity king.

Amid the thunderous shouts, the two star teams decided the winner, and they exited the projection cabin to accept the cheers of the audience and fans.

At this time, it had been two hours since the opening.

Then there was another dance and singing show performed by the participating stars, which pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

After the performance, the stars left the stage.

The entire Tianqin Stadium was quiet, and hundreds of thousands of spectators held their breath.

Bang, bang.

Two spotlights shone down, shining on the two VIP boxes above the stadium, one in the south and one in the north. In the middle of the big screen were two people, who were the two protagonists of today, Ji Xinghuo and Li Xuan.

Ji Xinghuo still maintained his privacy. His face in the live broadcast was replaced with a default male "average face" with no characteristics.

But this face was completely synchronized with his expression, without any difference.

Ji Xinghuo stood up and raised his right hand to signal the audience.

In contrast, Li Xuan had no reservations. His handsome appearance was shown to the global audience. He was dressed in an ancient-style robe with fluttering sleeves. He kept a bright smile to the audience and the camera, and waved frequently, which made people feel good.

In terms of appearance, Ji Xinghuo was obviously at a disadvantage.

But he didn't care.

The host shouted in a high and full voice: "Dear audience, the next two heavyweights are going to appear. They are tonight's opponents. First, it is Ji Xinghuo, a rising star who has reached the top of the ladder in just three years and just turned 25 two months ago. He is a peerless genius and the most dazzling star of our time!"

The huge projection screen is divided into two halves.

Half of the screen plays Ji Xinghuo's past videos.

Last year, in this venue, he killed a legend with a sword, broke through the air defense system of the Kingdom of Indy, ran wildly in the Global Marathon, crossed mountains and ridges, and finally crossed the finish line backwards in front of the Sun King and won the championship.

The other half is Ji Xinghuo in the live camera. When the host finished speaking, he was about to go on stage, but was held by Zhao Manying beside him.

In the spotlight, Zhao Manying gave him a light kiss.

"Damn it!"

"Fuck..."

Looking at the kissing couple in the picture, especially Zhao Manying's stunning appearance and tall figure, countless viewers were jealous at this moment. Whether it was the virtual platform or the live broadcast room, they were all overwhelmed by the barrage.

"Ji Xinghuo, let go of your dog paws!"

"I just came to watch the game, why did you stuff me with dog food? Damn it, Qianhuan Swordsman, kill him for me!"

Ji Xinghuo didn't know what others thought, anyway, he was very happy, hugged Zhao Manying's waist lightly, enjoying the highlight of this moment.

The two lasted for a few seconds.

"Come on."

After Zhao Manying separated, she whispered to encourage Ji Xinghuo.

Men were all envious. They didn't even dare to dream of having a girlfriend who was famous for her talent, strength, and reputation, and whose beauty was unparalleled.

Ji Xinghuo nodded at her, picked up the Black Eternal Crystal War Bow and Electric Potential War Blade placed next to him, turned around and flew out of the box.

Huh...

With a small whistle, Ji Xinghuo landed in the middle of the venue.

The host then shouted loudly: "Now, welcome the youngest king in the world, the founder of the 'Xuan Yi' studio, the holder of many cultivation records, and the member of the billion fan club..."

The introduction to Li Xuan was obviously much longer, reporting all of Li Xuan's multiple titles and honors, and the personal video was also longer.

"... No. 45 on the King List, 'Thousand Illusion Swordsman', Li Xuan!"

The melodious music full of fairy spirit sounded, with visual effects.

Li Xuan flew out from the opposite box, deliberately slowing down his speed, like a fairy descending to the earth, step by step from the sky to the ground.

When he landed in front of Ji Xinghuo, he stepped on the beat of the music and ended just in time.

Ji Xinghuo looked simple. If it weren't for Zhao Manying's kiss, the aura of the two could not be compared at all. From appearance to appearance and popularity, Ji Xinghuo was more than one step behind Li Xuan, and it didn't seem like an opponent of the same level.

Li Xuan was full of joy.

All this was in his plan. Now he only needed a perfect victory, and he had enough confidence.

"Please enter the spiritual world," the host said.

The two shook hands and said nothing more. They flew to the soundproof booth on the platform at one end and lay down in the projection cabin with their weapons and equipment.

The duel was also a best-of-five game.

There was a five-minute break between each game, but there was no show.

A countdown appeared in front of him.

When it reached zero, the scene in Ji Xinghuo's vision changed instantly, and he appeared among a continuous mountain range.

At the same time, a three-dimensional image was projected in the Tianqin Stadium, synchronizing the scenery in the spiritual world in real time, as well as maps, data and shots from various angles, showing the location and situation of the two people from multiple angles.

Billions of viewers looked at the two people on the screen, and their heartbeats accelerated.

“It’s finally about to begin!”

The next chapter will be updated after 12:00 PM.
