CHAPTER 871: CHAPTER 524: TOPPING THE WORLD

Under the amazed gaze of the family, Ji Xinghuo walked over and sat beside Zhao Manying, reclining slightly, looking extremely relaxed.

No one spoke, Ji Xinghuo chuckled: "What’s wrong with you all?"

"Third brother."

Ye Dongyun gently shook her head, her expression complex, feeling both proud and somewhat bewildered about Ji Xinghuo, "You told me yesterday that you were going out for a while. I thought you were just taking a walk to clear your mind, but I didn’t expect you to do something so big."

"I didn’t want to worry you." Ji Xinghuo explained briefly, and also couldn’t reveal any secrets.

Zhao Manying had some guesses but never asked questions.

Ji Xinghuo squeezed her slender hand, and they exchanged a smile, conveying affection.

"Third brother!" Liangqiu Feiyan finally came to her senses, exclaiming excitedly: "Turns out you’re this amazing!"

Wang Zizhen’s mouth turned upwards, looking proud: "Only now you know? As soon as the third brother got back, I knew his power was frighteningly strong; on Earth, besides the Sun King, no one can match him."

"Hmph, if you knew, why didn’t you tell me?" Liangqiu Feiyan questioned.

"Saying it you wouldn’t understand." Wang Zizhen pouted.

While the two were bickering, the big screen in the living room automatically switched to the latest news and live footage.

"An attack event occurred in Karachi City, Indi Kingdom. Followers of Brahma King Firoz gathered dozens of Mutants, inciting civilians to besiege the municipal building. At least 38 people are dead and 107 injured. Minister of Internal Affairs Kane Mazonda dispatched urgently..."

A reporter rapidly reported in front of the camera.

In the footage, the streets outside Karachi’s municipal building swarmed with people, and waves of shouting and yelling rose and fell. The crowd vandalized shops along the street and public facilities, smashing, looting, burning; fires erupted everywhere.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning brightened the screen.

Rumble...

A bolt of lightning struck into the crowd, jumping countless times in an instant, turning the most frenzied people attacking the building into piles of black char.

As the lightning dissipated, the live camera captured a figure.

The figure moved so fast it blurred, flashing from one end of the street to the other in the blink of an eye. Wherever it passed, casualties were everywhere. The followers and Mutants mixed in the crowd were thoroughly killed.

Quick as lightning, the figure circled the municipal building, collapsing the attacking crowd completely.

Having resolved the crisis, the figure flew up into the sky and disappeared from the footage.

From start to finish, less than ten seconds.

The reporter in front of the camera stared dumbfounded, regaining professional composure after a few seconds and continued broadcasting: "Here at Karachi’s municipal building scene, I believe the audience just witnessed, Mr. Ji Xinghuo has already dismantled the attack, but we don’t know whether it was his body or clone..."

Far away in the villa on Qinling Mountain, the living room was utterly silent.

They had watched many such live broadcasts throughout the entire day, but now, Ji Xinghuo himself was just beside them, making it even more astonishing.

Everyone stared at Ji Xinghuo.

It was unimaginable, his body sat on the sofa at home while his clone suppressed a riot thousands of kilometers away.

"Third brother, is the you in front of us the body or a clone?" Liangqiu Feiyan asked curiously.

"What do you think?"

Ji Xinghuo smiled.

Liangqiu Feiyan strained her eyes wide, looked up and down several times, sniffed Ji Xinghuo’s scent as she approached, even touched his hand twice, then shook her head in frustration: "I can’t tell."

In fact, not only her, almost everyone present couldn’t tell, including the legendary An siblings.

Only Zhao Manying was well aware, smiling: "Feifei, your brother came home as his body."

She possessed the True Eye, combined with Quantum Mind and Quantum Speed-reading, capable of distinguishing reality from illusion; all disguises and visions could not escape her Perception, even the Deception Mask, revealing true information.

"That’s what I guessed too."

Wang Zizhen looked at the replay on the screen, then at Ji Xinghuo, saying admiringly: "The body conversing cheerfully at home, the clone taking heads thousands of miles away! Third brother, in ancient times you’d be a deity."

He had played virtual games for more than a decade, experiencing the feeling of summoning rain and wind, being omnipotent in games.

Only now, he realized reality was the best game.

Ye Dongyun couldn’t help but ask: "Third brother, what does it feel like?"

She didn’t ask specifically, but everyone present knew she was asking what it felt like to have such strong power.

Curious was everyone.

Ji Xinghuo hesitated, then replied after some thought: "Acting as whim, thoughts unimpeded."

This answer made everyone pensive.

Liangqiu Feiyan seemed half-understanding, but had no interest in the topic, "Third brother, everyone online says you’re already stronger than the Sun King, now you’re truly the strongest globally, is it true?"

"Probably." Ji Xinghuo didn’t fully commit.

"Really?"

Liangqiu Feiyan’s eyes filled with admiration, hugging Ji Xinghuo’s arm, excitedly: "The world’s strongest is my brother! Ah, something I never dared dream about before actually came true!"

Seeing her pride almost making her tail stick up, Ji Xinghuo reminded: "Only on Earth I’m the strongest, in the Star Realm still just a nobody."

"Third brother, you will surely become the strongest in the Star Realm too!" Liangqiu Feiyan believed firmly.

"That would be too hard..." Ji Xinghuo shook his head, lacking such confidence himself.

Liangqiu Feiyan clenched her fists: "It will happen!"
