The most ideal scenario would be a duel between the two.
Li Xuan is a Heavenly King, and although I’m the first on the Ladder, there is definitely a gap in strength. Li Xuan is not afraid of an upset, and he can even trample on , using as a stepping stone.
This topic is sure to explode in popularity, attracting global attention.
Upon hearing his own thoughts exposed, Li Xuan’s expression changed slightly, but he imdiately regained his composure and finally stood up and reached out his hand.
"I am Li Xuan, pardon ."
However, Ji Xinghuo did not reach out his hand. After a few seconds of looking at the other, he shook it briefly and then let go, "Ji Xinghuo."
The anger on the faces of the two Legendary remained imdiately vanished as if nothing had happened, and their posture was also just for show.
The atmosphere that had been tense as a drawn bow suddenly vanished.
Li Xuan looked around and smiled, "I have sothing I wish to discuss with Mr. Ji, if it is convenient?"
"It’s not convenient, speak your mind." Ji Xinghuo did not fall for his act.
Li Xuan’s smile beca stiff for a mont.
Before he could speak again, a tall and graceful figure walked in, her stunningly beautiful visage as if illuminating the hall, imdiately drawing the attention of everyone present, most of whom were n who couldn’t help but give a couple of extra glances.
"Xinghuo, Ming Brother."
Zhao Manying walked up to Ji Xinghuo’s side, surprised to see Ji Xinghuo and Li Xuan standing face to face, "What are you talking about?"
"Sword Immortal!"
Li Xuan’s eyes brightened, eager excitent simring in their depths.
Ji Xinghuo noticed his expression and frowned inwardly, recalling sothing.
Back when Manying first beca famous, there had been rumors about her and Li Xuan online, one being the Thousand Illusion Swordsman and the other the Immortal Sword. The man handso and dashing, the woman stunning and gorgeous, both supre geniuses, they seed like a match made in heaven.
Gossip about Li Xuan’s intentions toward the Sword Immortal also ca from his friends and team.
Of course, these were all one-sided rumors.
Zhao Manying had long since denied them, but Li Xuan repeatedly ntioned this in his live streams and videos, neither confirming nor denying, giving ambiguous hints. He seed very much looking forward to cooperating with the Sword Immortal and willing to instruct her in swordsmanship.
Online, there were also so fans that shipped the two, though it was unclear if they were genuine fans or marketing accounts.
Zhao Manying never responded.
With nearly three decades age difference between them, she had no such thoughts about him.
After more than a year, the fervor died down, and no one brought up the rumor anymore.
At the ti, Ji Xinghuo did not know Zhao Manying, but he was aware of the rumor. Now that he thought back, Li Xuan was riding on Manying’s popularity.
This man was a habitual offender.
Li Xuan, unaware of Ji Xinghuo’s thoughts, revealed a charming smile and extended his hand, "I am Li Xuan, pleased to et Ms. Zhao, it’s been a long ti."
Previous tis when Ji Xinghuo and Zhao Manying had co over, they hadn’t encountered him.
Today was their first ti, and he had clearly co prepared.
Zhao Manying now rembered who the man in front of her was, her expression turned cold instantly, and without shaking hands with Li Xuan, she just nodded, "Hello." Then she turned and went to sit on the couch next to Zhong Ming, with no intention of engaging in conversation.
Li Xuan, slightly embarrassed, withdrew his hand and looked at Ji Xinghuo, issuing another invitation, "Mr. Ji, I would like to host a gathering tonight and invite a few people over. Would you do the honor of joining?"
"Just say what you want to say right here."
Ji Xinghuo still refused.
He really didn’t care for the man, and Manying also disliked him a bit, not wishing to interact with him more than necessary.
After being rejected multiple tis, Li Xuan grew sowhat irate, especially with other Legendary watching. If word got out, he would lose all face.
"Since you’re being straightforward, I won’t beat around the bush." Li Xuan finally got to the point, "I want to have a public duel with you, live-stread to the whole world. Regardless of winning or losing, we’ll split the earnings from the duel seventy-thirty, seventy for , thirty for you."
Ji Xinghuo realized he had underestimated Li Xuan’s shalessness.
"You’re a Heavenly King, and I’m a Super Mutant." Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help but shake his head, "We’re two Ranks apart, are you sure you want to duel ?"
In fact, the gap between a Super Mutant and a Heavenly King was much more than just two Ranks.
Legendary is divided into First Dan and Second Dan.
Between each Dan, the disparity in strength is also significant, not unlike an evolution; and the gap between Legendary and Heavenly King is even more insurmountable, like a vast chasm obstructing the evolution path for nearly 4000 Legendary worldwide.
For a Heavenly King to duel a Super Mutant, the first reaction from anyone who heard about it would be that it was shaless.
Li Xuan smiled, "Of course, there are restrictions on this duel. You only need to withstand five minutes under my sword without being defeated, and you win."
"Haha..." Ji Xinghuo was noncommittal.
"I’ve seen your videos from the Indi Kingdom. Although your strength isn’t up to a Heavenly King, breaking into the top ten of the Legendary list is no problem. The number one below Heavenly King, the title of ADC is sowhat exaggerated, but it’s not far off the mark."
Li Xuan was assessing Ji Xinghuo’s strength, taunting, "You wouldn’t be scared to battle, would you, the Ladder’s first man?"
"Can you defeat in five minutes?" Ji Xinghuo asked.
"I’m eighty percent confident." Li Xuan was full of self-assurance, pride evident on his face, "I was the first on the Ladder before you were even born."
Ji Xinghuo shook his head, "I’m busy recently, need to cultivate."
"No worries, I can wait," Li Xuan instantly replied, "anyti within this year is fine." Interest fades with ti, so the sooner the better, definitely not dragging into next year as it would an losing a lot of attention.
Ji Xinghuo then asked, "How much revenue can be expected?"
"It depends. If managed well, with enough sponsorships, at least 30 billion, 50 billion is also possible." Li Xuan guessed Ji Xinghuo’s intentions, "But the split can go up to fifty-fifty at the most, otherwise, forget it."
