This will cause serious damage to the Sun King’s public image and the confidence of the American Federation’s people.
"Should we ask the leader?"
Ji Xinghuo considered it but ultimately gave up.
Regardless of whether the leader exerted influence secretly, the ADC ranking is correct, my strength surpasses the Sun King, it’s a fact.
There’s still controversy now, but that’s because others are unaware.
Facts speak louder than words. When I defeat the Sun King, everyone will have to shut up.
"Hey, check out your social media account." Liangqiu Feiyan laughed.
Ji Xinghuo hadn’t posted anything on the platform for years. Upon checking his account, the most recent post was cursing Li Xuan as an idiot, and before that, a clown image mocking those who criticized him after Zhao Manying announced their relationship.
The backend notifications kept pouring in, with tens of thousands of new comments every second, mostly under a post he made.
It was a sentence posted in the year 2218:
"The Sun King is nothing, I will sooner or later step over him, just wait and see!"
Ji Xinghuo remembered it.
Eleven years ago, I was only 17.
That day, the second-generation Sun King easily defeated multiple Heavenly Kings during a global live broadcast, with an unshakeable rank of world number one. After watching the broadcast, I wrote down this "bold statement" in shock and awe, and later forgot about it.
Back then, I was still in high school, not even a Mutant, and a few classmates laughed at it.
Crazy talk , countless foolish teenagers have uttered.
It’s both boasting and venting.
The words Ji Xinghuo posted are no different from others’ nonsense, but today, it became reality!
"Time flies, it’s been 11 years." Ji Xinghuo reminisced about his teenage days, feeling a bit emotional. If someone had returned to tell me then that my boasting would come true, I wouldn’t have believed it at all.
He opened the comments below.
Countless netizens flooded in with their opinions, and the post’s shares exceeded a billion, topping platform trending searches.
"Witnessing history!"
"Everyone was bragging, but only you actually did it."
"I’m Ji Xinghuo’s high school classmate. When he wrote those words, I saw them immediately. The next day in class, quite a few of us made fun of him. Unexpectedly, we were the ones who got slapped in the face, sob sob sob..."
"Is there a time traveler who can go back and tell Ji Xinghuo that eleven years later, you achieved it!"
"You became number one globally at 28, I became company bowling champion at 28, we both have bright futures."
"Finally, the world’s strongest Mutant is from our Asia-Pacific Community."
"Looking forward to the Sun King’s response."
"Does anyone else like me really want to see Ji Xinghuo and the Sun King’s showdown, preferably streamed worldwide?"
"I want to watch it too!" Hundreds of thousands echoed.
"Given the current global situation, a battle between Ji Xinghuo and the Sun King is inevitable. This fight will be not only between two Mutants but also the final clash of two nations! Let’s watch and see."
This comment received over ten million likes and was rapidly increasing.
Ji Xinghuo read through the most popular dozen comments and opened the profile claiming to be his high school classmate, finding it to be fake.
He cursed, "I don’t know this person, he’s not my classmate."
Family and friends laughed, Liangqiu Feiyan laughed and said, "This person is pretending to be your classmate to ride your fame."
Ji Xinghuo was speechless.
Ye Dongyun asked, "Brother, now that you’re number one globally, aren’t you going to post something?"
"Yeah, it’s such a great opportunity for publicity." Liangqiu Feiyan’s eyes shone.
"I don’t need publicity, and there’s nothing much to say." Ji Xinghuo shook his head, "It’s not the time now, let everyone be happy." Even as world number one, he hadn’t revealed his image publicly. The third trending search on social media was about his appearance, with countless curious people, and even some petitions posted.
However, things didn’t go as expected, a call came in.
Ji Xinghuo walked into the room to answer.
Ji Daosheng appeared on the projection screen, speaking solemnly: "Xinghuo, there’s a matter for which I seek your opinion. I hope you’ll cooperate with the publicity department to shoot a video short facing the global public."
