Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 553 - 359 Global Battle Power List
Chapter 553: Chapter 359 Global Battle Power List
Ranked 31st on the Global Battle Power List!
Ji Xinghuo was somewhat surprised, originally thinking he would replace Li Xuan according to the previous rules as the 45th, and Li Xuan would fall to 46th. He hadn’t expected ADC to directly place him at 31st.
He quickly scanned through the Global Battle Power List. Upon comparison, aside from his own parachute jump to 31st, the top 30 rankings remained unchanged.
Those ranked behind him, the Heavenly Kings, had all dropped by one position.
"Interesting."
Thinking deeply, Ji Xinghuo found that ADC held him in such high regard.
At this moment, family and friends had also seen the new rules of the Global Battle Power List, sparking much discussion. Online, the Global Battle Power List had become the hottest topic, and as the only non-Heavenly king on the list, Ji Xinghuo naturally became the focal point of conversations.
"Global Battle Power List!"
"ADC actually renamed the Heavenly King List just for Ji Xinghuo."
"This is the first time this has happened."
"I have no objections to renaming the Heavenly King List, but placing Ji Xinghuo in the 31st spot, I think that’s too high," one comment gained a lot of approval, "Look at the Heavenly Kings ranked behind Ji Xinghuo, each one of them is a well-established and powerful mutant, completely different from the internet-famous Heavenly Kings like Li Xuan. I don’t believe Ji Xinghuo’s strength surpasses theirs."
Under this comment, netizens also listed the achievements of several Heavenly Kings.
The one most mentioned was "Flame King" Qi Feiyang.
He was originally ranked 32nd on the Heavenly King List, but now that it’s been changed to the Global Battle Power List, he was pushed back to 33rd, falling two places behind Ji Xinghuo.
Many people felt it was unfair for Qi Feiyang.
Of course, Ji Xinghuo also had many supporters who thought the ranking was reasonable.
"Everyone remember, every time we doubted Ji Xinghuo in the past, he ended up fiercely proving us wrong. I don’t want to be the fool again."
"Me neither..."
"Sigh, have you guys been subdued by Ji Xinghuo? As talented as he is, he has only been a mutant for three years, while the ’Flame King’ is over 50 years older than him. It’s not possible that he’s weaker than Ji Xinghuo, right?"
"Exactly, I’m convinced!"
"Even if ADC ranked Ji Xinghuo in the top ten of the Global Battle Power List today, I wouldn’t dare doubt him anymore."
Discussions like this were common online.
Countless people hid behind the internet, endlessly arguing with others.
As the person in question, Ji Xinghuo was initially a little surprised, but soon he didn’t care at all. Whether it was the Heavenly King List, the Global Battle Power List, or any other name, rankings were only temporary.
Someday, he would ultimately ascend to the top and become the strongest on Earth!
Meanwhile, his family and friends were all excitedly talking about it.
Man Ying looked at the list on the screen and suddenly said, "When I advance to the Legendary level, I’ll challenge Li Xuan and enter the Global Battle Power List."
"What?"
Ji Xinghuo was stunned.
There were two ways to be listed on the Global Battle Power List: one was to advance to Heavenly King, and the other was to defeat someone already on the list. Currently, as just a Super Mutant, even if Man Ying advanced to Legendary, she was far from reaching Heavenly King; her only way to enter the list was the second method.
Given her strength, when she reached Legendary level, she had a very good chance of defeating those ranking at the bottom.
Yet, she had chosen Li Xuan.
"Pick the soft persimmons to squeeze," Man Ying said with a twinkle in her eye. "Li Xuan is probably one of the weakest Heavenly Kings, and after seeing your battle with him today, I deeply understand his strength. Defeating him is the most assured."
Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help but laugh. This was like catching a lamb to shear!
"Will he agree?"
"What Li Xuan wants most is popularity and topics. I’ll give him a chance. If he can beat me, he can redeem himself from the defeat he suffered from you. Promise him some benefits, and with Li Xuan’s character, he would find it hard to refuse," Man Ying was already considering how to set the trap.
"If he falls for the same trick twice," Ji Xinghuo shook his head.
"That would be the fate he deserves," Man Ying said unconcernedly.
"I also want to try it."
A voice came through, and it was Wang Yinlong who had overheard the conversation between Ji Xinghuo and Man Ying and was similarly struck with a sudden impulse.
Ji Xinghuo smiled, "Brother Wang also wants to be on the Global Battle Power List?"
"Of course." Wang Yinlong approached, nodding, "I’m at least ten years away from advancing to Heavenly King. With such a rare opportunity now, I definitely can’t miss it. It’s also perfect to test and encourage me to improve my strength, just afraid Li Xuan won’t accept my challenge."
"How confident are you, Brother Wang?" Ji Xinghuo asked.
"Less than thirty percent."
Wang Yinlong’s expression was solemn, "I don’t have your monstrous ability to fight across levels. Li Xuan is a Heavenly King after all, thirty percent is already the most optimistic estimate."
Ji Xinghuo nodded. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Man Ying spoke up, "I reckon, the top twenty mutants on the Legendary List are all thinking about challenging a Heavenly King to get on the Global Battle Power List. And they probably, like me, all want to challenge Li Xuan. There should be a good show to watch."
"Hahaha..." Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Su Ziyou then said, "Who lets Li Xuan look the weakest, plus he was just beaten so miserably by you, challenging him has the lowest risk."
An Yitian and An Zhisu, though silent, seemed eager.
However, Ji Xinghuo wasn’t optimistic about their chances.
Apart from Man Ying, among the current top twenty on the Legendary List, only the top three had a slight chance of beating Li Xuan.
Even for Man Ying, the chance of victory was less than fifty percent.
Ji Xinghuo engaged in conversations with a few Legendaries, leaving the others unable to interject.
At that time, Chi Zhonglin, Zhu Morgutu, Jing Chao, and Yuan Chongzhen were enthusiastically drinking when Chi suddenly loudly said, "Xinghuo, you’re now on the Global Battle Power List, how come you still don’t have a nickname?"
Everyone present was drawn in.
"Exactly!" Liangqiu Feiyan’s eyes lit up, "Big bro, why don’t we come up with a cool nickname for you!"
"Forget it."
Ji Xinghuo quickly shook his head.
Nicknames are traditionally established by others and should closely fit an individual’s characteristics, personality, or relate to their mutant profession templates, experiences, and social status, eventually becoming widely acclaimed once they spread.
For instance, Qi Feiyang’s nickname "Flame King" was due to his advanced professional role as the "Flame King" and his ruthless actions, killing countless enemies, including many from the Beiluo Shimen Clan, similar to a Living Yama.
"Mother of Lightning" Zhu Xiaorong also had her nickname tied to her professional template and fiery personality.
And "leader" because Ji Daosheng is the leader.
Ji Xinghuo had only been a mutant for over three years and famed for less than two.
Although he had done several globally sensational deeds, it was too soon for him to have a widely recognized nickname.
Nicknames can also be seen as a "title," symbolizing status.
Generally speaking, only a few legendary mighty ones and Heavenly Kings have prominent nicknames; it’s rare for mutants on the global rank ladder to have any.
Zhao Manying was an exception.
The formerly top-ranked Wang Yinlong didn’t have a nickname, while the third-ranking Cheng Sheng was called "Hidden Dragon."
Even among Heavenly Kings, not every king had a nickname.
"Who would give themselves a nickname? That’d be a joke," Ji Xinghuo interrupted Liangqiu Feiyan’s suggestion.
"Who said you can’t give yourself a nickname?" chimed in Chi Zhonglin with a burp, "We can be flexible. Think of one first, then spread it online. Shout it everywhere, every day. Once many people start shouting it, you can casually mention it a few times as if it were unintentional, and the nickname would naturally stick. That’s what Li Xuan did initially."
Ji Xinghuo could tell immediately, "Have you been doing that already?"
"Hehe, you got me!"
Chi Zhonglin said proudly, "Although I’m only ranked around 500th on the ladder, I’m somewhat famous, so it’s proper to have a nickname."
"What is it?" Ji Xinghuo asked, curious.
"Overlord Spear!"
Chi Zhonglin stated emphatically, "How’s that? Isn’t my nickname domineering? Initially, I wanted to call it ’Invincible Overlord Spear,’ but that’s too long at five characters, and I’m not undefeated yet, so I’ll start with Overlord Spear and add ’Invincible’ once I’m strong enough."
Ji Xinghuo was speechless, and so were the legendary guests.
"Shameless!" exclaimed Zhou Ligetu.
The few women present blushed, catching the suggestive double meaning of "Overlord Spear."
"Hehehe..." Chi Zhonglin was unashamed, "Xinghuo, let me pick one for you. How about ’Thunder God’?"
"I like that!"
Liangqiu Feiyan immediately agreed, "Big bro, when you fight, it’s all flashing lightning and roaring thunder, controlling lightning and thunder. The nickname Thunder God suits you perfectly."
Family members all nodded in agreement.
An Yitian remarked, "Calling him Thunder God is too arrogant. No Heavenly King has a nickname involving ’God.’ Even the strongest Sun King is only called King. It’s hard to gain public endorsement, and we must avoid the Star God."
"How about Thunder King?" suggested Zhong Ming, thinking it over, "It’s on par with Sun King."
Chi Zhonglin shook his head repeatedly, "Doesn’t sound good, nor is it domineering enough."
"How about Magnetic King?" Jing Ji proposed.
"Too old-fashioned, and it’s a comic character, could face copyright issues."
"Magnetic Emperor?"
"Nope, anything with Emperor, King, God, or Saint is too grand and doesn’t fit the mainstream. Steel Emperor can use that because he is an Emperor, but Xinghuo doesn’t have the relevant profession and status."
"Flash?"
"King of Electromagnetism sounds pretty good."
Everyone engaged fully, brainstorming various plausible and outlandish nicknames before rejecting them.
Even Zhao Manying joined in, coming up with several nicknames, none of which worked out.
Ji Xinghuo frowned and laughed at the same time, "Stop making up names for me. I don’t need a nickname, and I won’t accept whatever people call me."
His persistent refusal finally ended the farce.
"Our compensation has all been transferred." As the celebration party was drawing to a close around one in the morning, Zhao Manying quietly told Ji Xinghuo.
"How much?" Ji Xinghuo asked.
"Over 240 billion."
Even though Ji Xinghuo was mentally prepared for the amount, hearing the specific figure still shocked him. He and Manying had placed bets in two batches worth a total of 150 billion, divided into over a thousand stakes with an average payout ratio of about sixteen times, causing a burst.
If this money had been bet with only one bookmaker, the bookie might not have had the funds to cover it.
But spreading it across several dozen made it manageable.
Zhao Manying was also delighted but saw a problem, "With such a huge sum, we can’t transfer it all back home. It’d be best to think of a plan or just spend it abroad, converting it to assets."
Cross-national fund transfers have always been a headache.
The larger the amount, the more difficult it becomes.
If it could all be converted into Ether Crystals, then the problem would be solved. However, the global market doesn’t have that many Ether Crystals available; converting over 240 billion Ya Yuan would take at least five to six years to gradually filter through.
Ji Xinghuo thought of someone.
He then picked up the phone and dialed Princess Sofia’s number.
