Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 510 - 337: Looking Down on Peers

The Sun King’s move surprised everyone.

Ji Xinghuo’s heart skipped a beat as well. The instant the Sun King moved, he sensed that he was coming towards him, but in a blink of an eye, he decided to stay motionless, letting the other party fly down from above and stop in front of him.

By then, the camera caught up, and the big screen in the center of the Imperial Arena showed the image of the audience, capturing everyone’s attention.

The spectators around Ji Xinghuo were all thrilled.

They had never been so close to the Sun King. Although the Sun King released no aura, his reputation alone was enough to keep people from moving carelessly, and they just curiously watched the two. freēwēbnovel.com

The next second,

a colorful stream of light descended from another box above, arriving just in time, revealing the figure of Luo Yimeng.

Ji Xinghuo sighed in relief.

He slowly stood up while the Sun King hovered half a meter above the ground, towering two heads above him.

"Mr. Anthony." Luo Yimeng warned cautiously.

The Sun King merely glanced at her, then his gaze returned to Ji Xinghuo. He stepped down to Ji Xinghuo’s level, his face breaking into a warm smile, and extended his hand, introducing himself, "I am John Anthony."

"Ji Xinghuo."

Ji Xinghuo shook his hand, responding neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I’ve long admired the great name of the Sun King. It’s a pleasure to meet you."

Neither of them spoke the other’s language, speaking through translators, so there was a slight delay.

The handshake conveyed a firm touch, but under the watchful eyes of all, they only held briefly before letting go.

"Please call me John." The Sun King showed no malice, but his words inexplicably made the surrounding people nervous, "Ever since I became the Sun King, the person I wanted to meet the most was Mr. Ji."

"Oh?" surprise flickered in Ji Xinghuo’s eyes.

"We are contemporaries yet belong to different factions, making us destined to be adversaries." John Anthony surveyed the surroundings, his gaze sweeping over those Legendary, Heavenly Kings, and the Steel Emperor above, exhibiting a posture that looked down on all present.

His voice was not loud, yet everyone could hear him clearly.

"This is our era!"

The Sun King declared proudly, "Out of the global population of forty billion, two billion are Mutants, yet only you are worthy to be my opponent."

At these words, the crowd was visibly startled.

The members of the Asia-Pacific Community present immediately remembered an ancient saying: Among heroes of the world, only you and Cao wield power.

However, the Sun King’s tone was even grander than Cao Cao’s, deeming all Mutants around the globe as nothing, overlooking even the Steel Emperor and the leader, acknowledging only Ji Xinghuo, a Super Mutant.

Ji Xinghuo maintained a calm expression, but his heart was complex.

But more than that, he was cautious!

The Sun King was clearly targeting him. When he spoke, the Wanxiang Star Pupil in his brain issued a sharp warning of danger; there was an extreme malice in the depths of the opponent’s heart, as if hesitating whether to strike right there and then.

If the Sun King were to act recklessly, Ji Xinghuo might very well die.

The power difference between them was too great. The Sun King was not a social media Heavenly King like Li Xuan — even ten Li Xuans combined couldn’t match a single Sun King.

Even with Luo Yimeng present, there was only a very slim chance of survival.

"The Sun King jests."

It took Ji Xinghuo a few seconds to respond, "With such Heavenly Kings before me, I am but a Super Mutant and far behind you."

"Haha..."

Suddenly, John Anthony laughed.

His smile was still amiable, but somehow, Ji Xinghuo perceived a hint of distortion in it, standing so close.

Suddenly, the smile on the Sun King’s face quickly faded, his gaze deepened, and his lips seemed thinner. He stared intensely at Ji Xinghuo, who despite being accustomed to grand scenes, felt a chill run down his spine.

Everyone around sensed a fearsome pressure, daring not to breathe aloud.

"Don’t be nervous."

The Sun King said softly, "Just now, I’ve made a decision. I won’t lay a hand on you until you ascend to Heavenly King."

Ji Xinghuo did not relax, nor did he speak.

He wanted to say something to reclaim the scene, but facing this unpredictable person with tremendous power, it was better not to provoke him further.

"I enjoy challenges. I hope Mr. Ji will surprise me in the future. We’ll meet again at the Global Marathon."

The Sun King patted Ji Xinghuo’s shoulder.

He turned, nodded to those around him, his smile returning, then with a roar, he shot up into the sky and vanished on the horizon, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of astounded spectators in the Imperial Arena.

Everyone looked at each other, perplexed. The competition hadn’t even started yet, so why had the Sun King flown away?

Could it be he came specifically to see Ji Xinghuo today?

The spectators looked upwards, noticing the Steel Emperor sitting calmly, already waiting for the event to begin.

"Absolutely baffling."

Luo Yimeng muttered to herself and flew back to her box.

Ji Xinghuo paid no attention to the whispers and gazes around him, sitting back down and contemplating the Sun King’s intentions with this move.

Even as the competition began, he still hadn’t figured it out.

However, one thing he did ascertain was, just as Zhao Manying had guessed before, the new Sun King’s temperament differed from his predecessors, unstable and capricious, now barely suppressed.

How had the second Sun King chosen him? Or was there some hidden agenda in this Sun King succession?

As the resounding, stirring music played, the players of the two teams took the stage.

Ji Xinghuo’s thoughts also returned to the present.

The Space Cowboys team was first to enter, from starters to substitutes, all fifteen members were well-known Super Mutants on the ladder.
