Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 495 - 328: A Hundred Billion Bet_2

Seeing this scene, the guests who were originally planning to leave decided to stay.

Who doesn’t know about the issue between Li Xuan and Ji Xinghuo? It has been causing an uproar on the internet since yesterday.

This spectacle is far more exciting and entertaining than the wedding itself.

The banquet continued.

However, most people were hardly in the mood to enjoy the feast; it seemed lively, but everyone’s attention was on Ji Xinghuo and Li Xuan.

Ji Xinghuo completely ignored Li Xuan, while Li Xuan didn’t touch his chopsticks either, instead striking up conversations with Ji Xinghuo’s classmates.

As a Heavenly King and a top global influencer with countless fans, even though there are many trolls online, when faced with a Heavenly King in person, even non-fans would turn respectful.

After a brief chat, Li Xuan quickly became one with the crowd, giving the classmates the impression that this Heavenly King was down to earth.

A female classmate curiously asked, "Li Swordmaster, do you have a conflict with Xinghuo?"

This was the question countless people wanted to know the answer to.

Before yesterday, Ji Xinghuo and Li Xuan had never crossed paths, and Ji Xinghuo suddenly cursing him on social media, with both of them agreeing to a live confrontation, seemed like there was some deep-rooted hatred, which was puzzling.

"No," Li Xuan said with a smile, "Ji Xing and I are friends who got to know each other through fighting." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Of course, he wouldn’t admit that the whole thing started with him wanting to ride on Ji Xinghuo’s popularity, only to have Ji Xinghuo see right through him and turn the tables instead.

Yesterday, Li Xuan’s attempt to smear Ji Xinghuo backfired, and he realized that the officials were behind Ji Xinghuo, so he had hit a snag. The online public opinion was also very unfavorable to him, so after discussing with his team all night, he decided to lower his attitude and soothe the relationship first.

"Heh heh..." Ji Xinghuo let out a cold laugh, "We haven’t fought yet, so naturally we can’t be considered friends."

Li Xuan’s eyes showed a hint of embarrassment.

Being contradicted in person and being told that they weren’t friends was a first for him.

Li Xuan was annoyed inside but squeezed out a smile and said, "We’re not now, but we will be in the future."

"After the fight, I’ll probably become your enemy instead of a friend," Ji Xinghuo flatly denied giving Li Xuan any face. As for Li Xuan, his own impression was really bad; there was no chance of them becoming friends.

"Confidence is good, but don’t be blind," Li Xuan’s smile faded, "I hope you’ll learn from this lesson."

"I’d like to,"

Ji Xinghuo beckoned him over with a finger, "Put forth a stake that satisfies me, and I’ll give you a chance to be friends."

Li Xuan looked around and said nothing.

"Don’t tell me you prepared all night, came to see me, and didn’t even think of a price?" Ji Xinghuo scoffed.

"Fine." Li Xuan had naturally thought of a stake and said solemnly, "All the profits from the live stream as the stake, and I’ll add another 100 billion Ya Yuan in cash, to match your Alien Species, as the wager for the outcome of this confrontation."

"Hiss..."

All the guests around heard it and drew in a breath.

A hundred billion Ya Yuan!

Plus the live streaming revenue – it’s already been estimated online that the earnings from the live stream confrontation will be at least 30 billion. If all of that goes to Ji Xinghuo, coupled with the additional amount, it would total 1300 billion.

This immense fortune would be enough to place one on the national rich list!

And it’s in cash!

Ji Xinghuo smiled. Compared to the last time, Li Xuan’s offer had increased by 500 billion, almost doubling—it seemed that the other party was indeed in a hurry.

Li Xuan’s public disclosure of the Star-falling Species was meant to pressure him.

Instead, he faced greater pressure himself, worried that the Species would be intercepted and taken away by someone else, forcing him to come in person with an offer.

"Not enough,"

Ji Xinghuo remained unmoved, "You should go back and think about it."

The classmates nearby were stunned—over a thousand billion Ya Yuan, and Ji Xinghuo just casually turned it down! They had only been working for a few years, with a monthly salary of merely five or six thousand Ya Yuan— their wildest dreams couldn’t imagine how much a trillion was, yet Ji Xinghuo rejected it so nonchalantly!

Li Xuan’s face was as still as water, seemingly anticipating Ji Xinghuo’s disagreement, he immediately offered, "1200 billion!"

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat, eyes on Ji Xinghuo.

Ji Xinghuo still showed no reaction.

"1200 billion plus the live stream revenue, that’s my final offer," Li Xuan’s voice was loud and clear in the silent hall, "If you don’t accept, I’ll retract the challenge invitation right now, and we go our separate ways."

Ji Xinghuo looked at Li Xuan and guessed his negotiation strategy.

Fully public!

Regardless of whether he agreed, Li Xuan would gain maximum media exposure and spark hot debate online.

Moreover, Li Xuan’s bid today was much more confident than yesterday, believing he could win. In this case, no matter how high the bid was, even if it had exceeded the value of "Absolute Hit," he would not suffer any loss.

Zhao Manying gently squeezed Ji Xinghuo’s hand under the table.

He glanced at Zhao Manying. She had also figured out the reason why Li Xuan dared to make an offer, and thought that she should refuse.

Suddenly, Ji Xinghuo asked, "Reality or the Spirit Realm?"

This was a very important question. In the Spirit Realm World, one could go all out in a duel without the risk of death. In reality, it was difficult for Heavenly King Level battles to pull punches; severe injuries were inevitable, and death was also a significant possibility.

The laws of the Asia-Pacific Community only allowed duels to take place in the Spirit Realm World.

If the duel was in reality, it could only be arranged abroad.

"Of course, the Spirit Realm World," Li Xuan immediately replied, "It’s convenient to arrange live broadcasts domestically; many super league venues are available, there are live audiences, and just selling tickets is a substantial revenue."

He did not mention the safety of the Spirit Realm World at all.

Ji Xinghuo smiled, "I demand a duel in reality; as long as you agree, we’ll sign the contract right now."

As expected, hesitation showed on Li Xuan’s face.

"No," he said after a few seconds of contemplation, "I have no grievances against you. There’s no need to engage in a duel to the death. Duelling in the Spirit Realm World can avoid many troubles."

"Not troublesome at all, just a flight abroad. It’s okay to reduce some ticket revenue," Ji Xinghuo saw Li Xuan’s unease and continued, "If you insist on the Spirit Realm World, then the price has to increase."

Li Xuan’s biggest weakness was his fear of death.

He was not a Mutant who had fought his way out of the Star Realm and hadn’t experienced life-and-death crises, lacking the fearless courage to fight desperately.

Li Xuan closed his eyes.

The guests around held their breath, fearing they might disrupt the thoughts of a Heavenly King. The matter was related to a fortune of hundreds of billions, which made them even more nervous than the parties involved.

After a full minute, Li Xuan finally opened his eyes and said, "150 billion!"

He increased his bid by 30 billion and insisted on a duel in the Spirit Realm World.

Ji Xinghuo nodded, "Let’s sign the contract."

"Whoa..."

A gasp went through the lobby as they witnessed the birth of a duel contract worth over 150 billion, their hearts pounding with excitement. Some quickly snapped photos of the scene while others hurried to post the news online.

Zhao Manying held Ji Xinghuo’s hand, with a hint of worry on her face, "Xinghuo?"

"It’s fine."

Ji Xinghuo was very calm.

No matter whether it was in reality or the Spirit Realm World, regardless of whatever trick Li Xuan had up his sleeve, he was confident he could defeat Li Xuan.

And even if he lost, it was just the loss of a Star-falling Species.

Li Xuan’s team quickly prepared a contract and sent it to Ji Xinghuo.

Ji Xinghuo carefully read through the contents of the contract but didn’t sign immediately. Instead, he had Zhao Manying’s team review it before submitting it to the national notary office in Chang’an for checks.

This would take some time.

During the tens of minutes waiting for the review, which felt like an agonizingly long several hours to everyone present.

Finally, Ji Xinghuo received a response from the notary office. The content of the contract was legal and valid.

Zhao Manying also nodded lightly; there were no trap clauses.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ji Xinghuo signed his electronic signature on the contract, setting the date for the duel on October 1st of this year in the Spirit Realm World, effective immediately.

"Good luck."

Li Xuan stood up, lifted the corner of his mouth at Ji Xinghuo without giving another glance to the others, turned into a streak of green sword light shooting into the sky, and vanished on the horizon in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the contract signed by the two was wildly spreading online, causing a huge sensation across the globe.
