Chapter 344: Champion
Triple the speed of sound!
Ji Xinghuo's speed has exceeded 1,100 meters per second, which is a high speed that he has never reached before.
Everything in view is distorted.
It was as if the whole world was going backwards, and the normally empty air became like a stone wall in such a high speed, blocking the way, and every step of the run consumed a lot of star power and physical strength.
Consumption rose wildly, Ji Xinghuo opened the interface of Vientiane Star Pupil and took a look, and the star power value was beating sharply.
This is still the effect of "ether energy saving" attached to the flying shoes.
At the same time, the star power also recovered rapidly.
His own two ether resonance, the photosynthetic ring also comes with one, a total of three ether resonance effects, and the star power is just being consumed and recovering.
The flying shoes under Ji Xinghuo's feet made him feel that the space around him contained infinite energy, and when he consumed star power and physical strength, this vacuum energy was immediately poured into his body to transform and replenish himself.
This is the effect of the Starfall Xenomorph's "Vacuum Guide", plus an Aetheric affinity of the "Starfall Ring", as well as an acceleration effect.
Even so, the cost of star power is still greater than the recovery.
Watch the values change.
Ji Xinghuo quickly calculated, at the current speed, he could maintain about five hours, and there was still room left to run to the finish line.
"It could be faster."
But instead of continuing to accelerate, he held it for a while.
At the first time, Ji Xinghuo's crazy acceleration was noticed by the host and guest experts, and countless viewers in front of the screen were in an uproar, all of which were unbelievable.
The live broadcast screen gave Ji Xinghuo's speed of 1100 meters per second in real time, and immediately gave his estimated time score.
"It's more than Mach 3!"
The host exclaimed.
An expert's face was full of incredulity, "Can Super Inhumans run three times the speed of sound?" ”
"Most Heavenly Kings can't reach this speed!" Another guest lamented.
"It's clearly an all-out outbreak." A marathon analyst interjected, "Ji Xinghuo has maintained a speed of Mach 1 before, and it has not been shown until now, it should be calculated, and he is going to compete for the championship." ”
"Impossible, right?" The expert in front shook his head, "With such a fast speed, how much does it consume star power, I don't need to say more." Ji Xinghuo is just a super alien, and I don't believe he can hold on to the end. ”
"Although Ji Xinghuo's speed is fast and unexpected, I don't think he can do it." Someone chimed in.
The host looked at the data on the screen, "The Sun King is going to react." ”
At the current speed, Ji Xinghuo can reach the finish line about 5 minutes faster than the Sun King, and the Sun King has not returned his strength.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the Sun King's speed accelerated.
But he didn't speed up much.
The data shows that the Sun King will reach the finish line about a minute faster than Ji Xinghuo, and then maintain this speed.
The host was about to speak, when he found that Ji Xinghuo had accelerated again.
The expected results of the two were reversed again, and Ji Xinghuo once again surpassed the Suns, who were only expected to lead by 30 seconds.
"He's getting faster again!"
All the audience was dumbfounded.
However, without waiting for the hosts and experts in the live broadcast room to express their opinions, the speed of the Sun King has accelerated a little, and it is expected that the time will be overtaken again.
Within a minute, the two men picked up speed and were expected to alternate in time.
The change is so fast that everyone has no time to judge.
At this time, Ji Xinghuo's speed had reached 1,200 meters per second, and at this speed, he would eventually lose in about 20 seconds.
But he didn't speed up any further.
Because this has tested the hole cards of the Sun King, the strongest person on the earth, if the opponent can win with an absolute lead, he will never pull with himself like this, and just accelerate with all his might.
This shows that the Sun King's strength is still far from his peak, either because of his lack of star power, or because he has not fully adapted to the ability, and is already approaching his speed limit.
And Ji Xinghuo still has the strength to go, and it can be faster.
With such a small gap, it is not good to wait until the end of the line to fight the winner, and now it is not good to force the Sun King to be in a hurry.
Ji Xinghuo maintained his speed and ran wildly along the northern shore of the Persian Gulf.
At this time, he reached a speed of more than 4,320 kilometers per hour, far surpassing the Sun King, and it took only an hour to run into the Arabian Peninsula, follow the course of the race, cross the peninsula, and circle north back to the Sinai Peninsula.
Then cross the canal at the Suez Canal Bridge and enter the African continent.
Ji Xinghuo ran along the Nile River upstream.
Wherever he passed, a strong wind of more than eight levels was raised, and the whole person passed through like a tornado, making a deafening sonic boom.
The scenery recedes in view.
Ji Xinghuo turned on the projection screen and took a look, and in just over an hour, the distance between himself and the Sun King was shortened by 2,500 kilometers.
An hour before, the Sun King was near Lake Victoria.
Now, the Sun King has just run out of the border of the Kingdom of East Africa and arrived on the east coast of Africa, where he is heading north.
More than 40 minutes passed.
Ji Xinghuo ran the whole way of the Ronny River, arrived at the source of Lake Victoria, and then ran eastward, from the plateau at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, alarming countless wild animals along the way, leaving a row of footprints on the ground.
At this time, the distance between the two was shortened by another 2,000 kilometers.
When Ji Xinghuo arrived on the east shore and headed north along the west coast of the Red Sea, it didn't take long for a figure to appear in front of him.
The other party was tall, dark-skinned, shaved and bald, and very dazzling in the sun.
Jeffrey Freelander.
He was running at full speed, more than Mach 2!
Jeffrey also sensed that someone was catching up behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Ji Xinghuo, his eyes flickering, and then accelerating.
However, Ji Xinghuo quickly approached the former king of the Global Marathon and surpassed him.
When Ji Xinghuo overtook Jeffrey, a sound wave came into his ears.
"Good luck!"
Ji Xinghuo turned his head to look and saw encouragement and appreciation in the other party's dark eyes, without any malice because of his defeat.
It's a pure competitive spirit.
Although the two countries are opposed, and they are likely to be enemies in the future, at this moment, there is only competition and hard work in the global marathon, and this spirit temporarily transcends the boundaries of nationality and position.
Ji Xinghuo gave him a grateful look, and then shook off Jeffrey.
It didn't take long for him to run to the northernmost part of the Red Sea, and then run over the Suez Canal Bridge, and along the eastern shore of the East Central Sea.
This is less than 3,000 kilometers away from the finish line.
Ji Xinghuo ranked second, with only the Sun King in front of him, and he was only more than 1,400 kilometers away from the finish line, and it only took less than an hour to finish the race.
The screen shows that the Sun King will run to the finish line one minute faster than himself.
"It has to be accelerated."
Ji Xinghuo felt that his star power could last for more than an hour, and his physical strength could last longer, so he accelerated again.
Rumble......
With a furious wave of sound, he reached a speed of 1,300 meters per second.
"Ji Xinghuo has accelerated!" The host shouted excitedly: "He is only 2,925 kilometers away from the finish line and has already started the sprint!" ”
"Unbelievable, he can be faster!"
"Oh my God......"
At this time, due to the fierce race between Ji Xinghuo and the Sun King in the past two hours or so, the game was suspenseful and attracted countless spectators. People who were not interested in the Global Marathon, or who felt that the outcome was decided, turned on the live channel.
The number of viewers has soared like crazy and has exceeded 5 billion!
This broke the previous record of the Global Marathon and surpassed the record of any commercial race.
And the number of viewers continues to rise.
"Audience friends!" The host said passionately to the camera: "Today you are going to witness the most wonderful global marathon in history, if you miss this race, maybe you will regret it for the rest of your life......"
On the live broadcast screen, the Sun King also accelerated, faster and faster, trying to overtake in the predicted finishing time.
However, Ji Xinghuo is also accelerating at the same time.
He no longer holds any reservations.
"The Sun King couldn't be faster!" Spectators noticed that the Sun King's acceleration suddenly stopped at around 800 meters per second.
Even the layman could tell that the Sun King had reached the upper limit of his speed.
If it is a short-distance speed, Ji Xinghuo is far better than the Sun King.
"Miracle!"
"It's a miracle!"
An expert shouted hoarsely: "If it is the Sun King in his heyday, we all know how fast he is, and the short-term burst can reach up to Mach 10, but the Sun King has just undergone iterations, and may still be adapting to his powerful power, and he will not be able to exert his full strength for the time being." ”
"Ji Xinghuo is a super alien, but he has the ability to overwhelm the Sun King."
"It's an absolute miracle!"
"Even if he loses today, he has set a speed record that has never been done before and most likely unprecedentedly."
This expert, a citizen of APAC, foamed at the mouth in front of the camera, and praised Ji Xinghuo frantically.
However, the audience in front of the screen did not feel that there was any problem.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Ji Xinghuo's speed exceeded Mach 4, reaching 1,400 meters per second.
He couldn't be faster, and even if he could, he couldn't do it, because Star Power couldn't make it to the end.
On the Vientiane Star Pupil interface, the value of star power fell rapidly.
The intense physical exertion made my whole body ache, and I tested my will hard, and I wanted to stop immediately.
More than twenty minutes later.
Ji Xinghuo ran back to the Asia Minor Peninsula, and when he set off yesterday, the route was northern, and today's return trip was on the south coast of the Asia Minor Peninsula.
In the last 1,000 kilometers, the distance between Ji Xinghuo and the Sun King was only more than 570 kilometers.
With every minute that passed, the gap between the two shortened by more than 36 kilometers.
The live broadcast data shows that the time for Ji Xinghuo and the Sun King to cross the finish line is only between the two.
The difference between the results is less than 10 seconds!
Such a small gap has never been seen in the history of the Global Marathon, and hundreds of millions of spectators around the world are nervous.
At this moment, as long as there are no people who are asleep or can't get out, they have already turned on the live broadcast channel of the event, and the number of viewers has exceeded 10 billion.
Another eight minutes passed.
Ji Xinghuo is only more than 200 kilometers behind the Sun King.
Both of them had reached the western shore of the Asia Minor Peninsula, which bordered the Aegean Sea, with a very tortuous coastline, and the number and position of signs had increased, and they had to turn every few kilometers to affect their speed.
The last 100 km.
This journey was the same as the starting route, and Ji Xinghuo could already see the outline of Ivangrad on the horizon ahead.
He ran at full speed, and finally saw a red and black figure in front of him, with a striped cape of the American Union flag behind him.
None other than the Sun King!
John Anthony also looked back and saw Ji Xinghuo with no expression on his face.
On the highway, the distance between the two is rapidly decreasing.
In the sky, dozens of drones and many low-orbit satellites are following, showing the running speed and posture of the two from different angles. The host also turned on the mouth cannon mode, and the speed of speech was as fast as a bead, pushing the audience's emotions to the peak, and the heart was pounding.
In the eyes of more than 10 billion viewers around the world, Ji Xinghuo caught up with the Sun King.
The two were tied for only a moment.
Ji Xinghuo was vigilant in his heart, he was not very close to the Sun King, the two were about 100 meters apart, but there was a drone on the side that accurately captured the picture of him surpassing the Sun King, and the high-speed camera froze and became a classic.
In the picture, both of them are expressionless.
However, Ji Xinghuo's demeanor seemed more relaxed, while the Sun King's eyes showed helplessness and annoyance.
Even though he hid it well, the helplessness was still clearly captured.
Ji Xinghuo overtook the Sun King and became the first place.
"...... Uproar"
At the same moment, from the Asia-Pacific Community to the Federation of the Americas, from the Arctic Circle to South America, the space station in synchronous orbit, and the moon base 380,000 kilometers away, countless people let out an exclamation in unison.
At this time, Ji Xinghuo was only more than 40 kilometers away from the finish line.
He can run in just 30 seconds.
The end point was a huge city square in the middle of Ivangrad, the middle of which had been emptied, and hundreds of thousands of spectators were crowded around.
There is a triumphal arch on the square, and a large number "40075" is written on the ground, representing the distance of the Global Marathon. In the sky, the projection screens played the picture of Ji Xinghuo.
"It's coming! Here it comes! ”
"It's going to hit the line!"
Amid the excited shouts of the audience, they saw a humanoid lightning bolt appear in the distance on the wide street connecting the square.
One second it was a kilometer away, and the next second, it was close.
Call......
Ji Xinghuo suddenly slowed down and paused before the finish line, allowing everyone around him to see his appearance clearly.
From yesterday to now, Ji Xinghuo has run for a full 23 hours and 22 minutes, a total distance of 40,075 kilometers, which is just enough to circle the Earth's equator. In this day and night, he ran through the wilderness, plateaus, deserts and cities, over mountains and mountains, trekking through mountains and rivers, but without dust and sludge on his body, he was thrown away at high speed, only a little sweat.
Even, Ji Xinghuo didn't catch his breath, and the whole person looked relaxed.
But a few steps before the finish line, he suddenly stopped!
Just when everyone was shocked and confused, Ji Xinghuo turned to face the road and looked at the Sun King, who was rushing more than three thousand meters away.
Ji Xinghuo opened his hands.
He walked slowly backwards like a walk, crossing the finish line with his back under the gaze of the Sun King and the shouts of the global audience.
