Listening to the Führer's words, Ji Xinghuo's face was solemn.

He had already guessed that Yuan had given him a task, and it was so important, but he was not too sure.

"The Starflame Pulse is so important, why would the New Roman Empire include it in the prize?" Ji Xinghuo was a little puzzled.

"Because they don't know." Ji Daosheng explained: "Combo ability, the ultimate profession of the son of the star, these knowledge are very few people on Earth who are clear, and I have only mastered a small part of it through a secret channel in the astral plane. ”

"Probably only I know the true value of the Starflame Pulse except the Sun King."

He pointed to the xenomorph on the screen, "There are four or five known fire burst xenos like the Starflame Pulse, but only it is a combination of 'fusion' abilities. ”

Ji Xinghuo checks the source of the prize.

The astral pulse came from the Astral Department of the New Roman Empire, and the information marked was an overspontaneous xenomorph, obtained a few months ago.

"Doesn't the Iron Emperor know either?" Ji Xinghuo asked again.

"Not sure." Ji Daosheng shook his head, "It can't be ruled out that Ivan knew it and pretended not to understand, and used it to attract the Sun King and achieve other purposes." ”

He suddenly sneered.

"Ivan, a treacherous man, forced the situation in the Fourth World War, asked for help from our country, and later signed the 'Treaty of Ivangrad' by him as a great shame in his life, and the new Roman Empire has eased up over the years, and began to move again."

The whole world is well aware of this history.

The trigger for the Fourth World War began in 2152, when the new Roman Empire was in full swing, spanning more than 30 million square kilometers across Asia, Europe and Africa.

In 2152, the Iron Emperor plotted to expand westward across Europe.

Unable to resist, the Western Alliance retreated, and in 2154 formally formed the "Atlantic Military Alliance" with the Federation of the Americas.

In 2156, the Confederation of the Americas declared war on the New Roman Empire.

In 2157, the new Roman Empire was attacked from both east and west, and an anti-imperialist revolution broke out in Central Asia.

In 2158, the Confederation of the Americas occupied Siberia.

In 2160, the Atlantic military alliance descended on the city of Ivangrad. In the same year, the alliance of stars and crescents in the Middle East advanced northward to the peninsula of Asia Minor, and the new Roman Empire was on the verge of extinction.

Nine years after the outbreak of the war, on the eve of the defeat of the new Roman Empire, it finally turned to the Asia-Pacific Community, which had only been established for more than a decade.

In 2161, APAC entered the war in full force, declaring war on the Federation of the Americas, and World War IV broke out.

The world war, the shortest in history, was declared a ceasefire in just five months.

In February 2162, the nations met in Ivangrad and signed a peace agreement, known as the Treaty of Ivangrad.

The peace agreement cost the new Roman Empire dearly, with land reparations and the loss of more than two-thirds of its territory. APAC emerged as the biggest winner, and in the following two decades, it completed de facto control of Siberia and Central Asia and incorporated it into its territory.

To this day, the new Roman Empire has not fully recovered from its defeat.

Not only were war reparations still being paid every year, but the Treaty of Ivangela contained many provisions that constrained the development of the new Roman Empire.

As long as the "Treaty of Ivangrad" is mentioned, the people of the new Roman Empire will feel a deep sting and shame, and even a thunderstorm.

As the victors, all citizens of APAC have no psychological burden.

And thought that this was the retribution of the new Roman Empire.

Because at the end of the 21st century, when the Federation of the Americas sent troops to occupy East Asia and further invade countries, the "East Slavic Empire", which was an ally at that time, not only did not do anything, but instead deployed troops on the border and wanted a piece of the pie.

In several East Asian wars at the beginning of the 22nd century, the East Slavic Empire repeatedly backstabbed its allies.

Later, it was revealed that the Iron Emperor and the Federation of the Americas secretly signed a non-aggression pact to carve up Asia.

In the 20s of the 22nd century, the new Roman Empire took the opportunity to send troops from Central Asia to invade the Western Frontier and occupy it for more than 20 years.

Fortunately, the rise of the Führer reversed all that.

In today's situation, the new Roman Empire is an ally of the Asia-Pacific Community, and it is forced by the situation that both sides are wary of their allies.

The new Roman Empire was in a weak position, while APAC was the absolute superiority.

The covenant began to falter again.

Luo Yimeng, who was sitting next to him, said, "Führer, can you directly ask the New Roman Empire for the Star Flame Pulse?" ”

"On what grounds?" Ji Daosheng asked rhetorically.

Luo Yimeng replied: "Just make up one, just say that a certain Heavenly King wants it, and you can exchange it for an equivalent xenomorph." ”

"It's just an oversized xenomorph, so much of a fight." Ji Daosheng shook his head, "With what I know about Ivan, he will definitely be suspicious." ”

"And ......"

Ji Daosheng pondered, "I was already suspecting that this Star Flame Pulse might be a bargaining chip for Yi Cheng to negotiate with the Sun King. This is the first astral pulse to appear on Earth, and it is extremely rare, and even if it is only an over-limit xenomorph, it is very valuable. ”

Ji Xinghuo didn't understand, "Since you want to be a bargaining chip, why don't you negotiate in secret?" ”

"Ivan always takes one step and counts ten steps when doing things, and there should be hidden secrets that we don't know." Ji Daosheng frowned.

"Iron Emperor ......" Ji Xinghuo sighed in his heart.

As the emperor of the new Roman Empire, the "Iron Great" Ivan Dzhugashvili was the first heavenly king in the history of mankind and the longest-lived human to date, having exceeded 200 years old.

He was born in 2018 and was promoted to Heavenly King in 2068.

In 2075, the "East Slavic Empire" was established and the road of expansion began.

The Iron Emperor is known for his iron fist, ruthless, decisive, experienced two centuries of blood and fire, invincible in the first half of his life, built the country and expanded the land, radiant, and reached the pinnacle of life, but in the second half of his life, he was frustrated one after another, and he was disgraced many times, extremely embarrassed.

And most of these failures are due to the Führer.

The two are allies, rivals, and more enemies.

The Führer and the Iron Emperor knew each other better than they knew their friends and family.

Since the Führer believed that the Starflame Pulse might be a bait released by the Iron Emperor to lure the Sun King to Ivangrad, and that it had another purpose, and that it might be used as a bargaining chip in the future, it was probably true.

Ji Daosheng looked at Ji Xinghuo, "Xinghuo, the task I gave you is to win the Global Marathon championship and get the Starflame Pulse." ”

"Yes, Führer!" Ji Xinghuo responded solemnly.

"How sure are you?"

Ji Xinghuo didn't answer right away, and asked, "What is the strength of the new Sun King now?" ”

"According to his observations, John Anthony has returned to the king, and it should be a section of the king." Ji Daosheng sighed: "Even if it's just a section of the Heavenly King, the strength of the Sun King is also the best in the world, so I stopped the kill plan and waited and saw what happened." ”

"How long will it take him to finish 40,000 kilometers?" Ji Xinghuo asked.

Ji Daosheng obviously calculated it a long time ago: "If John Anthony is the king of heaven, the star power is not enough for him to run the whole distance at the highest speed, and he must slow down, I expect it to be about 25 hours." ”

40,075 kilometers in 25 hours at a speed of 445 meters per second.

"1.3 times the speed of sound."

Ji Xinghuo was taken aback, this was much faster than himself.

And it's not the full speed of the Sun King, if you don't hesitate to consume star power, the Sun King's flight speed at his peak can reach more than Mach 10!

The rules of the Global Marathon are that you can only run, not fly.

Both feet must touch the ground, and the time off the ground at the same time cannot exceed 0.1 seconds, and there will be a time penalty for exceeding it, and the final score will be added by one minute for each overtime.

In addition, the angle between the body and the ground should not be less than 45 degrees, and the distance between the top of the head and the ground on which you are standing should not be greater than 1.2 times the height.

If you don't do the rules, you will also be subject to a time penalty.

In short, be sure to run.

This limits the number of Inhumans who are able to fly, and must be trained to adapt to this long-distance running posture without violating the rules.

In general, running on the ground is definitely slower than flying.

Ji Xinghuo expects that he will be trained and his speed will be reduced. The current star power is more than 10,500 points, and the speed has increased again, and the cruising speed is about 230 meters per second, which is limited to running on the ground, and may only be about 200 meters per second.

That's half the speed of the Sun King, and it takes 50 hours to complete the entire round of the Globe Marathon.

The ultimate speed can reach 800 meters per second, more than Mach 2, but it can only last for a maximum of one and a half hours.

Moreover, the opponent is not only the Sun King.

There are other kings and legends who are good at speed, and there are several who can reach this speed, and the competition is fierce.

"I'm not sure I'm going to win, Führer." Ji Xinghuo said truthfully.

Ji Daosheng smiled, "I let you go to the competition, and I will definitely give you enough support." He took out a box from under his desk and pushed it in front of Ji Xinghuo.

Ji Xinghuo opened the box, and inside was a pair of shoes.

I don't know what material it is made of, the silver and black upper is one, there are light blue lines on the edge, exuding a faint energy fluctuation, and the weight is about 3 kg, which is as light as a feather to myself.

When you turn it over and look at the sole, it is engraved with intricate dark lines, forming a lifelike dragon pattern, like a logo.

At first glance, the whole pair of shoes looks very similar to today's high-tech running shoes, simple but not simple.

"What is this?"

Ji Xinghuo felt that the shoes in his hand were obviously the product of ether technology.

"Flying Shoes." Ji Daosheng introduced: "This is the equipment I got many years ago, the Apocalypse Star, which has not yet been publicly unveiled, so I will wear it for you this time." ”

"One Star of the Apocalypse!" Ji Xinghuo's eyes lit up.

Luo Yimeng's eyes also widened, and he said in surprise: "Führer, you have hidden such good equipment until now!" ”

Any weapon and equipment of the Apocalypse Star is priceless.

The vast majority of Heavenly Kings do not have Apocalypse equipment.

Ji Daosheng showed a little nostalgia on his face, shook his head and said: "These shoes are my treasure, and they have special meaning for me, otherwise I would have given them to you a long time ago." Starfire, you will wear it in this competition and cherish it. ”

"Thank you, Führer." Ji Xinghuo hurriedly assured that he would not damage it.

"The Sky Flying Shoes are from the True Dragon Dynasty, and they come with four abilities......" Ji Shengdao explained its effects.

Flying, vacuum-conducted, etheric energy saving, teleportation.

As long as you wear the flying shoes, you can gain the ability to fly;

The most important feature of these shoes is the "Vacuum Source", which is an extremely rare starfall ability that absorbs energy from the vacuum, increases the lethality of energy-like abilities, and increases the speed of physical and star power recovery!

This ability can be progressed from Vacuum Induction, and is the core of the Vacuum Stringer's class template.

Qinghong has vacuum induction, and it has been upgraded to level four at present, and it has not yet advanced.

"Aether Energy" is an overlimit ability that reduces the cost of star power from all abilities;

Teleportation goes without saying.

"No wonder it's the Apocalypse!" After Ji Xinghuo heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, the Sky Flying Shoes were pure auxiliary equipment and did not have any lethality.

But the increase in speed and escape ability is immediate.

The participants of the Global Marathon are not limited to their strength level, equipment and drugs, there is no prohibition of doping, except for not being able to drive vehicles or fighter planes, other foreign objects can be used casually.

Of course, you can't attack other players, otherwise you will be disqualified from the competition.

"With these flying shoes, you should be able to compete with the Sun King in terms of speed." Ji Daosheng is full of confidence in Ji Xinghuo.

Ji Xinghuo replied seriously: "Do your best." ”

"Just do your best." Ji Daosheng nodded, did not exert pressure, and instead said: "Xiao Luo will also sign up for the competition, she is the fastest king in our country, you two compete together, one more point of insurance, and you can also ensure your safety in Ivangrad." ”

"Then please take care of Sister Luo." Ji Xinghuo looked at the most powerful imperial master on earth.

She is the tenth king of heaven.

Although she is a royal master, her war pet "Phoenix Crown Colored Magpie" is a shock-level spiritual creature that can be integrated into the body, allowing her to have the ability to be a war pet.

The phoenix-crowned magpie is not only extremely powerful, but also very fast.

Luo Yimeng smiled: "It's easy to say." ”

She looked at the shoes in Ji Xinghuo's hand, "It's a pity that I am an imperial master, and after I am combined with the battle pet, I will reject the equipment I wear on my body, otherwise this pair of flying shoes in the sky will be worn by me, and the chance of winning the championship should be greater." ”

"You go to Ivangela this time, the competition is secondary, and the most important task is to protect the Spark." Ji Daosheng said solemnly, "If you can contact Ivan, you can test his thoughts, but you have to be careful." ”

"Yes, I understand." Luo Yimeng put away his smile.

After explaining the task, Ji Daosheng let the two leave.

Ji Xinghuo took the shoes and returned home, talked briefly to Zhao Manying, and put on the flying shoes in the sky under her curious gaze.

The silver and black shoes have a zoom function that can be adjusted according to the size of the feet, making them very comfortable to wear, and the body feels light and full of infinite strength.

"The effect of vacuum conduction source ......" Ji Xinghuo realized in his heart.

His mind moved.

Immediately, the body flew up lightly, stopped in the middle of the room, as if walking on the invisible floor, and came to the balcony.

Looking at the mountains of the Qinling Mountains in the south, boom!

Ji Xinghuo shot out in an instant, entered supersonic speed, made a deafening sonic boom in the sky, and disappeared into the sky in a blink of an eye.

The wind howled in his ears, and the scene of heaven and earth retreated rapidly.

Flight, magnetic field propulsion, shock wave turbulence, the three ways of movement are superimposed, and under the increase of "acceleration", Ji Xinghuo broke through his previous speed limit in only half a minute, exceeding 1000 meters per second.

That's three times the speed of sound!

Moreover, the flight speed is still increasing.

Ji Xinghuo will experience changes in star power, and found that the consumption has decreased significantly. At the same time, the surrounding space contains an infinite energy like the sea, which slowly pours into his body to replenish his physical strength and star power consumption.

"It's just that it's useless to fly fast, and you have to run on the ground for the race."

Ji Xinghuo remembered the rules of the global Ramasson, so he lowered his height and fell to the ground, running wildly between the mountains.
