Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 526 - 344: Champion

Triple the speed of sound!

Ji Xinghuo’s speed had already exceeded 1100 meters per second, a high speed he had never achieved before.

Everything in his field of vision was distorted.

It was as if the whole world was moving backward, and the ordinarily insubstantial air had become like a stone wall at such high speeds, blocking the way forward, and each step he took consumed a great deal of Star Power and physical energy.

His energy consumption was skyrocketing. Ji Xinghuo opened the interface of the Wanxiang Star Pupil and glanced at it, his Star Power numbers were fluctuating dramatically.

This was still with the effect of "Ether Energy Saving" included in his Sky-controlling Flying Shoes.

At the same time, his Star Power was also recovering rapidly. freёnovelkiss.com

His two personal Ether Resonances along with one from the Light Ring, a total of three Ether Resonance effects, were recovering his Star Power as quickly as it was being consumed.

The Sky-controlling Flying Shoes under Ji Xinghuo’s feet let him feel an infinite amount of energy contained in the space around him. As he used up Star Power and physical energy, this vacuum energy immediately poured into his body, replenishing him.

This was the effect of the Star-falling Species "Vacuum Source," coupled with an Ether Affinity from the Wandering Star Ring and its acceleration function.

Even so, the consumption of his Star Power was still greater than the recovery.

Watching the numbers change.

Ji Xinghuo quickly calculated that, at the current speed, he could maintain it for about five hours, with some reserve left to reach the finish line.

"I can go a bit faster."

But he did not continue to accelerate, instead, he maintained his pace for a while.

At the first moment, Ji Xinghuo’s rapid acceleration caught the attention of the host and guest experts, causing a stir among the countless viewers in front of the screen, all in disbelief.

The live broadcast screen showed Ji Xinghuo’s speed in real-time, 1100 meters per second, and instantly provided his estimated time of completion.

"Exceeded Mach 3!"

The host exclaimed.

A specialist’s face filled with disbelief, "A Super Mutant can run at triple the speed of sound?"

"Most Heavenly Kings can’t even reach this speed!" another guest remarked.

"This is clearly a full burst," a marathon analyst interjected, "Ji Xinghuo had been maintaining Mach 1 speed up until now, showing his hand only now, he must be aiming for the championship."

"Impossible, right?" the previous expert shook his head, "With such a fast speed, the consumption of Star Power is enormous, I don’t need to say more. Ji Xinghuo is just a Super Mutant, I don’t believe he can sustain it to the end."

"Although Ji Xinghuo’s speed is fast and surprising, I also don’t think he can do it," someone agreed.

The host looking at the data on the screen said, "The Sun King needs to respond now."

According to the current speed, Ji Xinghuo could reach the finish line about five minutes faster than the Sun King, who had not yet exerted his full strength.

Sure enough, no sooner had he spoken than the Sun King sped up.

But his acceleration wasn’t significant.

The data showed that the Sun King would reach the finish line about a minute faster than Ji Xinghuo and then maintain that speed.

Just as the host was about to speak, he noticed that Ji Xinghuo had accelerated again.

The predicted results of the two men reversed once more, with Ji Xinghuo overtaking the Sun King, expected to lead by only 30 seconds.

"He’s sped up again!"

All viewers were stunned.

However, before the live broadcast’s host and experts could comment, the Sun King’s speed increased a bit more, and the predicted time once again put him ahead.

In one minute, the speeds of both increased alternately, and the predicted times of completing also alternated in leadership.

The changes were too rapid for anyone to make a judgment.

By this time, Ji Xinghuo’s speed had reached 1200 meters per second, and at this pace, he was ultimately going to lose by about 20 seconds.

But he did not accelerate further.

Because this had already probed the bottom line of the Sun King, the mightiest being on Earth. If the opponent could win with an absolute lead, there would be no need to drag the race out with him; a full-force acceleration would suffice.

This meant that the Sun King’s strength was far from his peak, either due to insufficient Star Power or not being fully adapted to his Ability, already nearing his speed limit.

While Ji Xinghuo still had some reserve and could go faster.

With such a small gap, it was better to wait and settle the outcome near the finish line rather than forcing the Sun King into desperation too soon.

Ji Xinghuo maintained his speed, racing along the north coast of the Persian Gulf.

At this time, his speed had reached over 4320 kilometers per hour, far surpassing the Sun King, entering the Arab Peninsula in just an hour following the race route, passing through the peninsula, and heading north back to the Sinai Peninsula.

Then he crossed the Suez Canal on the Suez Canal Bridge and entered the African Continent.

Ji Xinghuo ran upstream along the Nile River.

Everywhere he passed, he stirred up winds over Level Eight, his presence like a tornado causing deafening Sound Explosions.

Scenery retreated in his view.

Ji Xinghuo opened the projection screen and glanced at it. In just over an hour, he had closed the distance with the Sun King by 2500 kilometers.

One hour ago, the Sun King was near Lake Victoria.

Now, the Sun King had just left the border of the East Africa Kingdom, arriving at the eastern coast of Africa, heading north to return.

Another 40 minutes passed.

Ji Xinghuo had run the whole course of the Ron River, reaching its source, Lake Victoria, and then headed east, rushing over the plateau at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, startling countless wild animals and leaving a trail of large footprints on the ground.

By then, the distance between the two had shortened by another 2000 kilometers.

When Ji Xinghuo reached the east coast, heading north along the western coast of the Red Sea, it wasn’t long before a figure appeared ahead.

The figure was tall and dark-skinned, with a shiny bald head that was incredibly reflective under the sunlight.
