The next morning, Ji Xinghuo got up refreshed, finished his morning exercise with Zhao Manying, and went out for a walk in the morning.

At noon, Zhao Manying gathered with the team.

Ji Xinghuo cultivated in the exercise room in the hotel by himself, and although the efficiency was far inferior to that of the Aether Research Institute, he couldn't slack off.

He practiced until the evening, heading to the Empire Arena to watch the opening ceremony of The International.

In each edition of The International, the champions of each major league from last season and the team with the best record this season are invited directly, and the rest of the spots are determined through the preliminary tournaments of each country, and 32 teams will eventually advance to the group stage.

The first group game of the evening was full of gimmicks.

On one side of the battle is the defending champion "Emperor Star Team", which has won the past five editions of The International under the leadership of Zhao Manying.

On the other side is the "gladiators" of the new Roman Empire, the gladiator club has been created for more than a century, is one of the first Inhuman teams in the world, has countless fans, and is the favorite to win the Silla Super League this season.

In the midst of all the attention, the two teams entered the spiritual world.

Huge map projections appear in the Imperial Arena and are simultaneously transmitted around the world through the network.

Ji Xinghuo sat in the front row.

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

"Sword Immortal is invincible!"

"Kill these Silla people!"

As soon as he shouted a few times, the audience around him glared angrily.

Most of the audience were Imperial and supported the gladiator warband. They were wearing the peripheral suits of the gladiator team, but Ji Xinghuo was wearing Zhao Manying's suit, and he sat alone in the crowd of other fans, looking out of place.

The first game was over in less than 20 minutes.

Zhao Manying manipulated sword lights one after another, sweeping the audience, and the Inhumans of the gladiator clan operated for a long time, but they shattered at the slightest touch.

A wave of battles was carried away.

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

"Cool!"

"Hahaha......" Ji Xinghuo was like no one around, and kept applauding Zhao Manying.

The process of the second game of battle was slightly different, but the result was the same, no one in the gladiator team could resist Zhao Manying's attack head-on, she chopped melons and vegetables, and cut all her opponents in one look.

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

Despite the double-elimination system, this hit the audience of the new Roman Empire too hard, and the enthusiasm for cheering and cheering faded a lot.

"Time is running out for gladiators."

Ji Xinghuo said loudly.

At this moment, his words sounded particularly harsh, and the audience around him immediately couldn't stand it, pointing at Ji Xinghuo and scolding: "Asian communists, go back to your country!" ”

Ji Xinghuo turned his head to look at the other party.

The scolding is a strong man who is almost two meters tall, obviously an alien, and at first glance he is a "giant general", so he has the confidence to stand up.

"Do you want to fight? Silly big guy. ”

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

"Stupid big man" is a contemptuous term for giant generals, and they are often called "reckless men", "bodyguards" and so on, ridiculing them for having empty muscles and no brains.

Each career template has a similar nickname.

For example, Feibu is called "Scud", Tiewei is "security", swordsman is "pretending to be a criminal, a slut", martial artists are called "spearmen, spear brothers", evil spirits are "dead ghosts", mind hackers are "voyeurs", and so on.

The nickname of the Magnetic Maniac is "Electric Baton" because the Magnetic Maniac is always fully electrified and electrocuted like a hedgehog.

Sometimes it is also called "top guy", and the brain is stimulated by the electric current abnormally.

These nicknames are often used by Inhumans for self-deprecation, but at this time, they are called out of Ji Xinghuo's mouth, which is obviously a provocation.

There was a slight electric current jumping in his eyes, which was so faint that ordinary people could not detect it.

The giant general did not find out either.

He rolled up his sleeves and was about to pass over the other spectators in the middle, but was pulled by his friends.

"Calm down! Petrov, he is a legend! ”

It was a high-level hunter who grabbed the giant general, his perception was far beyond ordinary people, and he had long found that the person sitting in the front row was extremely terrifying, but he couldn't judge it accurately, and he thought that Ji Xinghuo was a legendary powerhouse.

The strong man immediately coaxed and didn't dare to say a word more.

The audience around was in a heartbeat.

Ji Xinghuo didn't care about this little episode, and continued to applaud Zhao Manying loudly, and when he played a wonderful performance, he would stand up and applaud.

The imperial people next to him dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

In the third game, the gladiator team was swept neatly, and the audience near Ji Xinghuo couldn't sit still for a second, and many people left the arena early.

However, there were also some people who stayed and watched the post-match interviews.

Ji Xinghuo didn't leave, watching Zhao Manying on the stage surrounded by countless cameras, and after finishing the interview with reporters from various countries, he waved at her. Zhao Manying flew over, and the two left the arena with their arms intimately armed.

Several viewers from the Neo-Roman Empire were stunned, including the giant general and his friends.

"He's Ji Xinghuo!"

"First on the ladder, Sword Fairy's boyfriend!"

Cold sweat broke out on the strong man's forehead, and he was terrified on his face, he was just a junior alien, and he almost made a move to the ladder just now, he was simply looking for death.

A few days after that.

In the game of the Emperor Star team, Ji Xinghuo did not fall in every game, and he went to the scene to cheer for Zhao Manying. No matter where he sat or who the audience around him was, he applauded and shouted for Zhao Manying unscrupulously.

On the Internet, someone has already spread the word about it.

Later, as long as Ji Xinghuo arrived at the scene, he was quickly recognized by the people next to 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 round as the top seed. In the knockout round, he still maintained an undefeated record, slashed his opponents in a row, and finally made it out of the upper bracket to enter the final championship match.

July 22nd.

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

Tonight, the winner of this year's International will be born between Team Dixing and Team Space Cowboy.

The Space Cowboy Club is from Midland, headquartered in the "New City That Never Sleeps" on the east coast of North America, and the controller behind it is the "Xinxiang Consortium", one of the largest consortia in the world, which is the most successful club in Midland.

Before this season, the Space Cowboys invested hundreds of billions of dollars, made multiple trades, and bought several star competition Inhumans to form the Galactic Battleship.

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

After the start of the tournament, the Space Cowboys did not taste a defeat in the American League's Super League, and they sealed the championship of the season in the middle of the season, and pointed to the International in this year's competition.

Then, two days ago, he was hit in the face.

Space Cowboy played against the Emperor Star team in the knockout round, and the first game was very fierce and almost won, but at the last moment, Zhao Manying turned the tide and killed all the opponents with one enemy and three, and won in a thrilling way.

So far, this is the only opponent who can threaten the Emperor Clan.

That game was voted the best game of the tournament.

It's a pity that in the next two games, the Space Cowboy was too affected by the loss in the first game, and the worse he played, he was swept into the loser's group.

However, they adjusted back in time for the rest of the tournament to re-emerge from the lower bracket and enter the final title match.

Tonight's game could be the fiercest battle ever.

There are countless highlights.

The two sides are from the Asia-Pacific Community on the one hand, and the Federation of the Americas on the other, and the two superpowers are vying for hegemony, which responds to the current global political landscape.

Space Cowboys are the only team that has the potential to defeat Emperor in recent years.

The luxurious lineup, all the ladder inhumans, if they still lose, it will be too big a blow to them.

And as long as Zhao Manying wins, she will become the second nine-crown 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 was relatively rich, only half of them were Imperials, and most of the rest were die-hard fans from APAC, the Federation of the Americas and other countries, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

The front row seats on the scene are also star-studded.

Celebrities, Internet celebrities, celebrities, legends, tycoons, etc., none of the people who can sit here are unknown.

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

Ji Xinghuo recognized a lot of people.

The Thousand Illusions swordsman Li Xuan, the Ice and Fire brothers and sisters of the An family, as well as many ladders and Inhumans on the Legend List, as well as actors, singers, etc., everyone's name is familiar, and it can be described as a bright star.

There are also a lot of celebrities from other countries, but Ji Xinghuo doesn't know him very well.

He wasn't very far up in the front, in the tenth row.

I decided to come to Ivan grad too late and couldn't get a ticket for the front row, but it didn't make a difference.

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

"Starfire."

An Yitian greeted warmly.

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

Now on the earth, Ji Xinghuo is known to everyone.

However, in addition to the people he has met offline, Ji Xinghuo still maintains a veil of mystery on the Internet.

Everyone wants to know what this boyfriend of the first ladder and the sword immortal looks like.

There was curiosity and scrutiny in people's eyes.

Ji Xinghuo ignored them and nodded towards An Yitian, "Senior An." Then he said hello to Li Xuan, "Brother Li." ”

His duel bet with Li Xuan has long been well known.

The two of them met in person, which immediately attracted people's inquiry.

Li Xuan got up slowly, he enjoyed this feeling of being in the limelight, with a bright smile on his face, and said loudly: "Your name is An Yitian's senior, but you call me Brother Li, why do you call my junior a generation lower?" ”

An Yitian's age is more than twenty years older than him, although he is the king of heaven, Ji Xinghuo is not wrong.

Li Xuan said this just to make a joke.

However, Ji Xinghuo didn't buy it at all, so he didn't hear it and sat in his place.

Li Xuan's smile froze.

Seeing that Ji Xinghuo didn't even look at him, he had no choice but to smile and turn around and sit back.

The people around him held back their expressions and pretended not to see it. It has long been rumored that Ji Xinghuo and Li Xuan have a contradiction, and it is true, otherwise the two would not have made such a big duel bet for a starfall alien.

After Ji Xinghuo sat down, someone came to the front from time to time to talk in a low voice, wanting to get acquainted.

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

Kick-off is approaching.

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

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

The eyes of everyone in the audience were drawn to it.

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

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

The facial features on his face 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 not angry and arrogant, revealing a majesty that seems to be born with it.

A body that is not majestic, but contains the power of steel!

In the host's passionate praise, the Iron Emperor looked around, and everywhere he looked, it would cause cheers from the people of the empire.

There were other people in the box.

Ji Xinghuo saw Princess Sophia, however, Ji Xinghuo's attention was not on her, and he was completely attracted by the other man beside her.

His pupils shrank.

This blond, blue-eyed, strong man is none other than the new Sun King, John Anthony.

The first and second kings are here!

On the big screen, after the host introduced the Iron Emperor, the focus of the camera also fell on the Sun King. The day before yesterday, the Sun King led a delegation from the United States to Ivangrad, which made headlines.

At this moment, John Anthony took a step forward, stood side by side with the Iron King, and waved his hand at the audience.

He has a standard smile on his face and looks approachable.

However, compared to 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 suddenly, he felt the power of the two heavenly kings. Their etheric energy fluctuations were not deliberately converged, and they were like two lighthouses among the hundreds of thousands of people on the scene, so bright in the dark night!

There are only a few heavenly kings who can compete with them.

But there is also a big gap.

Second only to them is Luo Yimeng, who is in another box, and in Ivangrad these days, the two have kept in touch secretly, but they have not appeared together in public.

Ji Xinghuo was about to withdraw his gaze, when suddenly, the Sun King's gaze came over.

The two looked at each other.

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

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

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