Chapter 442: Number one in the world, well deserved!
Let’s go back in time a little.
Following Ji Ruo's instructions, Ji Xiaoxiao edited the movie "Armor Hero: War of the Nine Sects" in the time-stop field and took it out, while also going to the General Affairs Department to retrieve the information.
On the way, he took the opportunity to attack the leaders of the nine sects, and the effect was very good.
Emily and others also came, and the title of number one in the world has been settled.
Logically, everything should go smoothly and everyone should be happy.
But, just now.
There comes an enemy in time.
Yes, in time.
The other party seemed to have descended from a time tunnel. Since he did not belong to this era, it would take some time for him to completely descend.
The life force it displayed was roughly estimated to be at the peak of five stars, and it seemed to be a demon...
But the demon race is different from monsters. The blood power of the five-star demons is thick, pure and powerful, and their specific combat power is difficult to calculate.
In the previous battle at Babao Village, the five stars that came were just monsters. Monsters know how to seek benefits and avoid harm, and generally will not come to Daxia to cause trouble.
But once a big demon comes...
The key is not the power of the monster, but that it comes from time. According to the records of Daxia, there has never been a time monster in thousands of years.
The only things that involve the power of time are monsters.
But if demons can also deal with time, how powerful would the demon's bloodline be?
Monster talents involve the rules of heaven and earth, but the bloodline magic of the monster race can sometimes be equally tricky.
Daxia has already begun full alert.
As for the martial arts competition, only ordinary people are still paying attention. The top leaders already know that there is no suspense in the martial arts competition, and have turned their focus to the sudden appearance of the great monster from foreign land.
And it wasn't just Da Xia. The commotion caused by the arrival of the great monster made many powerful demons feel something. All demons knew very well that this great monster was coming for Da Xia.
Therefore, outside the border and in the starry sky, the demons began to stir.
The people of Daxia are martial artists and have unparalleled blood skills. Not only are they good at martial arts, but they are also supported by powerful scientific and technological means.
Over the past thousand years, the demons have suffered a lot, both on the ground and in the sky.
There will be friction, but no one will really launch a large-scale attack.
Everyone knows that the first bird to come out of the woods will be shot, so powerful demons will not take the initiative to attack Da Xia, because Da Xia will really fight to the death.
But if someone takes the lead, they will also help out.
As long as they don't start it, it's fine.
Therefore, the situation that Daxia is facing now is a bit serious.
It even made Ji Xiaoxiao worried.
Ji Ruo has the protection of the astral realm in his body, and now he has achieved the golden body of martial arts, with his body and soul intact.
Ji Xiaoxiao is an inner demon, and without Ji Ruo's consent, she can't get any power at all.
He had no other choice in this situation.
…………
"Selection?"
Everyone was surprised.
Gu Xingzhou asked curiously, "Ji Ruo, you are already the undisputed number one in the world. No one would deny your position. What else is there to be chosen?"
"Yes, yes, we are all convinced. This is not the way to go according to the procedure, right?"
Someone teased, "Do you want to thank those who have supported you along the way?"
Ji Ruo smiled and shook his head: "I am not the one who is judging now."
"oh?"
"Not you? Then who is it?"
"Besides you, who else here is qualified to be the best in the world?"
Ji Ruo smiled and said, "The number one in the world has already been chosen."
"Aren't you the default one?"
Ji Ruo shook his head: "Of course not, there is someone else who is number one in the world."
"How is that possible! Who else but you is worthy?"
"Is this a shady deal? Damn it, who made the decision?"
Everyone was angry: "How can there be a conspiracy in such a conference! Who was the chosen one? Ji Ruo, tell us and we will kill him!"
"That's right, we won't admit defeat to anyone other than you as the best in the world!"
Ji Ruo raised an eyebrow: "I am the chosen one."
"……?"
Everyone slowly typed a question mark.
Ji Ruo smiled and shook his wrist. The Wanhua Arsenal turned into a projector. Then he inserted the chip that Ji Xiaoxiao brought into it.
Video materials, text files, pictures, and texts were played one after another.
"This is..."
Gu Xingzhou opened his mouth wide.
Ji Ruo smiled and said, "Everyone, please look, this is Gu Xingzhou, Uncle Gu, who is fifty-nine years old. I guess he is older than most of the people present.
He had already achieved the Golden Body, so logically speaking he had lost the qualifications to participate in this martial arts competition.
But in order to win honor for Daxia, he was willing to sacrifice his own realm, just to be able to participate in a martial arts competition one last time, and use his experience to help you eliminate more sect disciples..."
Ji Ruo introduced Gu Xingzhou, the former Director of the Education Department.
The information in his hands came from the General Affairs Department. It was extremely detailed and covered all the honors of ancient Singapore from its infancy to its maturity.
Gu Xingzhou was also a man who had won numerous awards.
However, such a person did not serve as the Director of Education for many years.
After graduating from university, he went to the border, where he killed countless demons day after day for decades and accumulated a lot of military merits.
I even forgot to go home.
If his parents at home had not been concerned about his safety and forced him to leave the front line, he might still be at the border.
He served as director for only two or three years before stepping down.
A warrior’s lifespan is not short, especially the artistic conception of ancient Xingzhou, which was condensed on the border line - many of his comrades died on the border line.
We had agreed with each other that whoever died later would be responsible for living out the others' share as well.
It was just a joke at the time, but Gu Xingzhou took it seriously.
Later, during a beast tide, a comrade was killed in battle. Gu Xingzhou looked at the statue of his comrade that was transported back, remembered the agreement they had made, and became a golden statue on the spot.
His artistic conception of mountains and rivers is longevity.
He wanted to live longer than his original self, and to live for his comrades as well.
Therefore, he aged much slower than normal people. Later, he became the Secretary for Education. He still looked young, like a teenager, and did not look dignified at all.
So he used secret methods to change his appearance and took up his post as a middle-aged man...
Seeing his former self again, Gu Xingzhou was very emotional: "Ji Ruo, why did you put this... Don't think too much, the reason I broke through is simply because I was afraid of death..."
Install the latest version. 】
"fear death?"
Ji Ruo smiled.
He then played the next video.
That was a video of Gu Xingzhou stepping down from office.
The new director of the Education Department stood at the door of his office and asked him, "Where are you going?"
"Go to the border, stay there to guard the border, kill the demons and monsters, kill them until you become holy, and atone for your sins!"
As he spoke, Gu Xingzhou grew younger with each step, and after a few steps, he had regained his youthful appearance.
The screen changes again.
In Babao Village, Gu Xingzhou faced a crisis and resolutely gave Li Guanqi half of his life, allowing Li Guanqi to have the strength to fight again.
Ji Ruo asked with a smile: "Everyone, is Uncle Gu afraid of death?"
Everyone was silent.
Gu Xingzhou said shyly: "Ji Ruo, that's enough, don't let go anymore, it's so embarrassing..."
This move is indeed very embarrassing. To be honest, it is almost the same as taking a shit in public.
What's even more embarrassing is that he didn't accomplish what he wanted to do at that time...
But Ji Ruo certainly didn't just want to make things awkward.
The purpose of putting these there was just to let the warriors see them.
"Is Uncle Gu worthy of this number one in the world?"
"match!"
"good!"
Ji Ruo smiled and clapped his hands, and then a high platform made of earth and stones rose from the ground at the feet of Gu Xingzhou - no one knew how long he had rolled up his sleeves and dug in the time-stopping area.
"Uncle Gu, please come up to the stage and receive your award!"
Gu Xingzhou: “…”
He shook his head in annoyance and amusement: "You, you..."
The next moment, Ji Ruo took out a martial arts figurine, which contained all the nine martial arts sects, for Gu Xingzhou to choose from.
The rules were also formed at this moment, giving the honor of "the best in the world" to Gu Xingzhou.
Gu Xingzhou had a complicated expression: "Ji Ruo, thank you for giving me this honor, but... it's not necessary. If you give me the first place in the world this time, you will have to wait another ten years..."
"Who said that?"
Ji Ruo clapped his hands, and the projector began to play the life story of the next predecessor.
A moment later——
"Uncle Gu, do you have anything else to say about winning the award?" Ji Ruo asked.
"Oh, no, no."
"If you don't have any, please come down and let's go to Senior Xu Wanshan."
"???"
Afterwards, they watched helplessly as Ji Ruo selected seven "Number Ones in the World" in succession. Each of them was recognized by the rules of martial arts and was the real "Number Ones in the World"!
When the selection was over, everyone was still confused - seven best in the world in one martial arts tournament? !
"Who else wants to be number one in the world?" Ji Ruo asked with a smile.
Everyone looked at each other.
Of course they do.
But when I think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be much to praise in my life so far.
If Ji Ruo were to let out the little bit of information that he had, it would be too...
So after thinking about it, I decided to just forget it.
Besides, I haven’t made my selection yet.
Seeing this, Ji Ruo said, "Since no one has this idea, I will choose it myself."
"Next, the best squad leader in the world, Liang Shixian!"
Liang Shixian: “???”
He did not experience the same social death as his predecessors, but still received the honor of being the best in the world.
Feeling the protection of the martial arts rules, Liang Shixian felt a little flustered.
"Ji Ruo, this is not good, right? Otherwise, how about you beat me up? I... I didn't do anything in this martial arts competition, so how come I'm number one in the world?"
Ji Ruo smiled and said, "I recognize you as the best in the world, you are the best in the world."
Liang Shixian smacked his lips and said, "You are too overbearing..."
"There are even more domineering ones!"
Ji Ruo laughed loudly, flew into the air, opened his arms, and said loudly: "Martial arts started from ancient times, and ended because of me. From now on, for ten thousand years, millions of years, until the end of time... As long as I am alive for one more day, I will always be the best in the world!
Who is for it and who is against it?"
"Number one in the world, well deserved!"
Thousands of martial arts masters bowed their heads and all of them were in submission.
"In that case, here's my reward!"
It's like reaching out to the sky.
The rules of martial arts condensed, the world changed, and the next moment, a token appeared in Ji Ruo's hand.
This martial arts secret realm is time-limited, and the rules within it are subsidiary rules, which are inherently weak. Every time it is opened, it takes ten years to accumulate strength again.
The level of the secret realm is extremely low.
But at this moment, under the protection of the 'Law of Monster Evolution', 'The Way of the Blade' and 'The Way of the Sword', its rank has risen.
In addition, Ji Ruo fought fiercely with the Nine Sects and almost recovered all the honors and rewards obtained by the world's number one in history, in order to give back to the martial arts secret realm.
The entire martial arts secret realm was strengthened and upgraded to a normal secret realm that could exist for a long time.
Therefore, it has the possibility of condensing fantasy creations.
Combined with the power of the Great Inventor.
That token is the fantasy creation that it condenses.
Its name is [The World's No. 1 Exclusive Martial Arts Token]. The name is not very complicated and the function is also very simple.
It is to open and close the current secret realm, and at the same time have the highest control authority over the secret realm, and then to keep the rules within it constant to their current state.
If we release the martial arts masters back to the mountains, over time, the contact between martial arts may give rise to some more special martial arts, making this secret realm more colorful.
Afterwards, Ji Ruo made a replica of the martial arts token, giving it the same powers as the original token, and planned to hand it over to Daxia after he got out.
Ji Ruo smiled and said, "From now on, you can only compete for the second place in the world."
Everyone looked at each other, then burst into laughter.
“It’s good to be second in the world!”
Everyone is very happy.
Apart from--
"What's wrong with you? Smile a little, are you still angry?"
Ji Ruo poked Ji Xiaoxiao, who had a sad face.
Ji Xiaoxiao sighed, "How can I still laugh now? Are you done here? Come out with me if you are done. It's outside now..."
Ji Xiaoxiao briefly introduced the situation outside.
Ji Ruo was shocked when he heard this: "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier!"
"You didn't ask... and seeing that you were so excited, I was thinking of telling you after you were done... What is this all about? Is this something that a person like me should care about? It's all your fault. What a weird personality you have. You've made me feel so miserable.
Logically, the inner demons should be free and fearless, but look at me...
Are you the inner demon or am I the inner demon? "
Ji Ruo: “…”
He did not delay. The warriors around him had not fought much and were in excellent condition.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't sit still.
It would be better for Ji Ruo to open the door quickly and let everyone go out. Anyway, the number one in the world has been chosen and the secret realm has entered a new round of evolution. There is no point in staying here any longer. It is better to go out and see if there is anything he can do to help.
…………
"What's going on now?"
As soon as Ji Ruo came out, he pulled a random person and asked.
That person was the leader of Xingji Sect. When he saw Ji Ruo, he snorted coldly and said nothing.
Another sect leader said coldly, "We won't say anything! This is your own fault, Da Xia!"
Ha! So what if you become the best in the world? As long as we return to the sect, we can rest easy—"
Ji Ruo raised his hand and slapped him, making him swallow the rest of his words.
Yu Hongzhuang said: "Husband, congratulations on becoming the best in the world, now..."
"Who are you calling husband?"
Qu Fei stood in front of Ji Ruo and said angrily: "Ji Ruo is mine!"
Ji Ruo: “…”
These people can no longer be relied upon.
Fortunately, the current situation did not require these people to explain. His keen ears had already heard the voices from time.
“It’s almost there, it’s almost there!”
“I can feel it, it’s here!”
Suddenly, there was a loud whale cry, and a roar echoed throughout the entire Daxia.
A huge figure, big enough to block out the sky and the sun, passed through the barriers of time and descended into this world.
"Xie Xie, don't be afraid, we are here to pick you up!"
The demons outside Da Xia who were ready to make a move seemed to have received a certain signal, and they all started to attack at the same time. For a while, the demons were dancing wildly and invading Da Xia!
