Chapter 343: Chasing

Luo Yi dreamed that Ji Xinghuo was so confident, although he still had doubts in his heart, he didn't say anything more, and he sped up and ran to the front.

Ji Xinghuo concentrated on running.

The rules of the Global Marathon are very simple, but it is actually very difficult to achieve complete non-violation.

Even if it is a heavenly king, it is inevitable that he will violate the rules a few times when he runs down the whole process, and then he will be penalized.

If you exceed the specified route range, you will also be penalized, and if you do not return to the correct route for more than one minute, the result will be cancelled directly.

As he runs, he taps his left wrist.

A small screen is projected in front of you, so you can see the current position of the other runners in real time, mark them on the route, as well as the speed of each runner, the expected finish result, etc., at a glance.

Ji Xinghuo found his position at a glance.

It is currently in fourth place.

The one who ran at the front was the Sun King, who had already opened up more than 10 kilometers with himself in just two or three minutes.

Jeffrey Freelander followed closely behind the Sun King, less than a kilometer away, and bit hard.

Luo Yimeng is in the third.

The speed of these three heavenly kings is more than 400 meters per second, which belongs to the first echelon, and the distance between them and Ji Xinghuo is getting farther and farther.

The host and the marathon expert have been analyzing the situation, and the main screen of the live stream has also switched between runners.

When it comes to Ji Xinghuo, they are not optimistic.

"Ji Xinghuo's star power and physical fitness are very different from those of the Heavenly King. Although he was one step ahead of the start and very impressive, it was a pity that he could not last. He's currently running at Mach 1 and is in fourth place for the time being, but in my judgment he will continue to slip down the rankings and be overtaken by the next riders by ......."

Another expert agreed: "Ji Xinghuo is just a super inhuman after all, and it is already very surprising that he can run at supersonic speed." ”

"Indeed."

"The Global Marathon is different from flying, he may be better at flying, but running on the ground restricts his speed."

"And his tactics are also lacking, and he shouldn't go all out at the beginning, as it will quickly drain his star power. The Global Marathon is a time-consuming sport, not only about speed, but also about star power, physical strength, and will. ”

"However, Ji Xinghuo has a very powerful advantage."

"What is it?"

"So far, he has not violated a single violation, and the cumulative penalty time is 0, which is very rare, which shows that he has a strong control over his body, no less than those marathon aliens who have been training for many years."

"I heard that Ji Xinghuo only started practicing marathon running after signing up, if this is true, it is amazing."

"The ladder is first, of course it won't be that simple."

Several experts in front of the screen analyzed a few sentences, although they were not optimistic, but they did not all belittle, with praise.

The host asked, "What do you think is Ji Xinghuo's final score?" What kind of ranking can he get? ”

"45 to 50 hours." One expert replied, "Ranked around tenth." ”

Several others predicted similar results.

While speaking, someone began to exert his strength, and gradually caught up with Ji Xinghuo.

This is also a heavenly king, the "arrow" of the new Roman Empire, whose name is "Maxim Kalinin", the 24th place on the list of heavenly kings.

The picture immediately switched to him, and all the viewers saw that on a highway located between the fields, Maxim's speed was getting faster and faster, and another figure in front of him appeared in a wild run, which was Ji Xinghuo.

The distance between the two quickly approached, and then, Maxim overtook him, leaving Ji Xinghuo behind.

"Ji Xinghuo fell to fifth place."

The host immediately said.

Several guest experts nodded, this scene confirmed their prediction of Ji Xinghuo, one of them said: "The foundation of the first ladder is still inferior to the king after all, and the loss of this global marathon has little impact, but in October, if he loses the duel with Li Xuan, he will lose a starfall xenomorph." ”

Speaking of Ji Xinghuo and Li Xuan's showdown bet, several people on the screen shook their heads in unison.

The live broadcast screen also deliberately cut to Li Xuan's body.

At this moment, Li Xuan is also running with all his might, but he is really not good at this, but with his strong star power, he is running in front of a group of legends and marathon aliens, not much ahead, and is currently ranked 17th.

Seeing this scene, the host and the audience laughed, this Internet celebrity king participates in marathons every year for the sake of traffic.

The quadrennial Global Marathon, of course, is impossible for him to miss.

But that's too slow.

"If Li Jianxia and Ji Xinghuo were running, he would have lost, and he would have lost badly." One expert laughed.

The host disagreed, "Combat is a synthesis of many abilities, Li Jianxia is not good at long-distance running, but his swordsmanship, attack methods and combat experience are all among the top in the world, and Ji Xinghuo's chances of winning are very slim." ”

His words were echoed.

ridicule is ridicule, but no one dares to underestimate the strength of the Heavenly King.

Most of the world's 49 kings have their own strengths and weaknesses, otherwise there would not be only six kings to participate in the Global Marathon.

The kind of real hexagonal king, there is only one sun king in the world.

The screen switches, and the conversation shifts to the other players.

Ji Xinghuo didn't know what the host's experts said about him, he just concentrated on running, maintaining a speed of Mach 1.

In the first hour, he ran 1,260 kilometers.

Not far ahead is Yerevan, and according to the route of the event, each competitor must pass through the city, passing by a sign in the middle of the city.

The scenery on the side of the road quickly changed from a mountain to a city, and high-rise buildings appeared in front of it.

The road is emptied and closed to vehicles and pedestrians.

There are striking projections in the sky to guide the route.

Tens of thousands of spectators shouted and shouted from a safe distance, waiting for the arrival of the runners of the Global Marathon.

Call......

Ji Xinghuo ran along the highway into Yerevan, and the streets on both sides swept back quickly in the field of vision, elongating into light and shadow.

In the eyes of the roadside spectators, they saw only a shadow.

In a flash.

Immediately, a violent shockwave hit the body, and a deafening sonic boom was heard, and the appearance of the player was not seen clearly.

On the projection screen in the sky, a high-speed camera slowed back the footage.

The perspective of the drone lens also locks on Ji Xinghuo, allowing people to see his running posture, leaning forward, alternating steps with his feet, swinging his arms, wearing a pair of silver and black running shoes under his feet, every step he takes, he will leave footprints on the ground, and the whole person is like a lightning bolt flying on the ground.

As seen on the screen, the visual impact is far less than reality.

Wherever Ji Xinghuo ran, the audience on the side of the road would burst into amazement, and then look at his distant shadow.

Route signs are high in the central neighborhood of Yerevan.

When Ji Xinghuo ran under the sign, he immediately confirmed that the route was valid, and continued to run forward without stopping.

It only took him a minute or so to pass through the small city, and after leaving the city, he turned southeast.

The next sign is in Tehran.

Along the highway, 40 minutes later, Ji Xinghuo arrived in Tehran, and he was still fifth.

However, as he passed the sign in the city of Tehran, someone caught up behind him.

Ji Xinghuo didn't look back.

A figure moving at high speed appeared in the radius of electromagnetic induction, a little faster than itself, and was rapidly approaching.

"Flying Artist."

"No. 35 on the list of kings, Jose Morales."

Ji Xinghuo's mind flashed information about this opponent.

Jose Morales's experience is similar to Li Xuan's, and he is also an Internet celebrity king. However, he is not like Li Xuan, who does not dare to venture into the astral realm at all, and being an Internet celebrity is just a hobby, eager to share his observations with people.

Amid the cheers of the crowd on the streets of Tehran, José caught up with Ji Xinghuo.

This "flying artist" is a "sky surveyor", what he is best at is flying, and running on the ground is not weak.

When he surpassed Ji Xinghuo, Jose waved at Ji Xinghuo and made a "bye-bye" gesture.

Obviously this is mockery.

At this moment, multiple drones in the sky took photos from different angles and sent them to the world.

Although José did not have any ill intentions, it still sparked a heated discussion.

Many viewers on the Internet followed suit.

Ji Xinghuo didn't see it, but he knew that this scene must have been seen by countless people, and he could guess the audience's reaction.

He didn't care.

Falling behind to sixth place, Ji Xinghuo was still not in a hurry, and more than half an hour later, he ran along the southern shore of the Caspian Sea to the border of the Star Moon National Alliance.

In front of it is Central Asia, the territory of the Asia-Pacific Community.

When the runners of the Global Marathon cross the national border, the drone overhead will be replaced with the current country, which can avoid many diplomatic disputes and risks.

Running all the way through the coast, mountains and plateaus, running east along the Silk Road, passing through the Taklamakan Desert, there is more and more green in the field of vision, and the climate and environment are becoming more and more familiar.

After more than seven hours of running.

Finally, Ji Xinghuo saw Chang'an, due to the time difference, Chang'an at this time was more than 12 o'clock in the night.

At night, the megacity is still brightly lit, as if it were day.

Familiar skyscrapers and wide streets are built on superconducting highways in mid-air, and maglev cars are constantly flowing.

The race route has been cleared.

But on the roadside along the way, there are countless spectators who have stayed up all night waiting until now, just to be able to see the runners run by with their own eyes.

When Ji Xinghuo ran into Chang'an, he was warmly cheered.

"Come on!"

"Ji Xinghuo run, surpass the arrogant guy in front, you can do it!"

"Come on, come on, ......"

Because it was a supersonic run, Ji Xinghuo could only hear the shouts from ahead, and it was intermittent and unclear, but he felt everyone's enthusiasm and saw his family and friends cheering for him on the side of the road.

He turned on the projection screen and glanced at it.

He is still in sixth place.

In front is the "flying artist" José, who has slowed down and is getting closer, less than a hundred kilometers.

The fastest Sun King has now run to Pearl City, the second largest city in the Asia-Pacific Community, more than 2,000 kilometers above himself.

"It's time for me to exert my strength."

Ji Xinghuo ran past the sign in Chang'an, and then began to accelerate.

A few seconds later, he reached a speed of 400 meters per second, which was immediately noticed by the host and guest experts.

"Ji Xinghuo has accelerated!"

"Oh my God!"

The host shouted in disbelief: "He can still accelerate, how did he do this?" ”

In fact, Ji Xinghuo has maintained a speed of Mach 1 until now, which has been beyond their expectations, and they thought that Ji Xinghuo's star power was almost at the bottom, just to be able to hold on to Chang'an, but it turned out that it was faster when he arrived in Chang'an.

On the screen, Ji Xinghuo in the drone lens did not have the slightest effort, and his face was very relaxed.

His speed has remained steady at 400 meters per second, almost unchanged.

"It's so stable!"

An expert sighed: "I've been paying attention to Ji Xinghuo's speed, his stability is simply terrifying, and his control is like a machine, not a human." ”

"He hasn't violated a single breach so far!"

"Even the Sun King violated the law twice and was given a two-minute penalty."

In the eyes of hundreds of millions of viewers, Ji Xinghuo quickly narrowed the distance with the flying artist, and only more than 20 minutes after running out of Chang'an, he caught up with Jose Morales in Jinyang City.

Ji Xinghuo and the other party ran side by side on the highway, keeping relatively still, and waved at each other.

This scene was also filmed.

"Hahahaha......"

"The boomerang hit him in the face!"

"Cool!"

Countless spectators burst into laughter, especially the citizens of APAC, who felt very relieved. Jose Morales's face was ugly, he didn't speak, silently sped up, not wanting to be thrown off by Ji Xinghuo.

This disrupted José's schedule, as it was time for him to regain his star power and stamina.

What annoyed him the most was that he found himself unable to catch up.

Ji Xinghuo's current speed exceeded his maximum speed, even if he spared no star power, he could only watch Ji Xinghuo get farther and farther away from him until he disappeared from view, and his running rhythm collapsed.

At one o'clock in the morning, Ji Xinghuo ran to the old capital.

Amid the shouts of many spectators in the old capital, he passed through this historic cultural city, turned around after leaving the city, and ran south along the Bohai Coast.

Along the way, it passed through the Pearl Pearl, Rongcheng, Yuewan, Hanoi, Phnom Penh, Bangkok and other domestic cities, and ran into the Southeast Peninsula.

At dawn.

Ji Xinghuo has arrived in the Straits of Malacca, where they overtook Maxim "Arrow" Kalinen and regained fourth place.

From here, it took another two hours to turn west and enter the South Asian Union.

The race route on the peninsula of the subcontinent is basically along the coast, and when Ji Xinghuo arrived in the southernmost city of the peninsula, it was exactly halfway through the race, and it had already run for 16 hours, and it was expected to take 30 hours to finish.

And the Sun King had already run to the Arabian Peninsula at this time.

Ji Xinghuo was thrown off 6,000 kilometers.

It looks like the winner is decided.

Whether it is the hosts, experts, or global audiences, they all think that there is not much suspense left in this global marathon.

Even the most competitive Freelander has slowed down over the past few hours and is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the Sun King.

But none of them gave up.

Ji Xinghuo accelerated slightly again, and more than four hours later, he ran to the northern shore of the Persian Gulf, where he caught up with Luo Yimeng.

She turned back in front, and her voice reached Ji Xinghuo's ears, "There is not much time left for us." ”

At the moment, the Sun King is in central Africa.

He reached Lake Victoria on the upper Nile, with less than 10,000 kilometers left to finish at a speed that would take him about six hours to reach the finish line of Ivangrad.

Ji Xinghuo nodded slightly.

Luo Yimeng didn't understand what he meant, and was about to ask again, but saw that Ji Xinghuo's speed suddenly skyrocketed, surpassing him in a blink of an eye, and was still accelerating wildly, faster and faster, and then he couldn't see it.

Bang bang bang......

The sound of explosive footsteps echoed around.

Where Ji Xinghuo ran over, he left a series of large craters with a diameter of two or three meters on the ground, splashing large clouds of dust, and being swept into the sky by the violent air current, as if a tornado had hit.

"At least Mach 3!"

Luo Yimeng was dumbfounded, this was faster than the speed at which she exploded with all her might!
