After exiting the map, Ding Meng was teleported back to the VIP room. His battle with Nanxun had been very thrilling because he had almost exhausted all his energy. If Nanxun had withstood the final blow, then he would have been eliminated.
With his current strength, it was not suitable for him to use the secret technique of the Sun Divine Art. The reason was simple. It was like a beginner origin ability user who had not broken through to a beginner warrior yet forcibly used a martial technique like the Holy Tiger Sun Palm. Similarly, Ding Meng was now a galactic warrior and had not advanced to the level of a martial artist. Using Lingtian King's martial technique was undoubtedly the same as using a move of a galactic warrior. Not to mention the minimal effect, the key point was that it would overdraft his physical strength. Of course, this was within the Ke Jia server. Fortunately, he was using a virtual avatar.
Now, Ding Meng only had one last opponent left in this year's carnival. It was also his strongest opponent — Guan Wuming.
At this moment, in the conference room of the Bingyi Building, a group of beauties was excitedly discussing the competition. Nanxun appeared again with a smile.
Ji Chenxue greeted him. "You're in such a good mood. How can you still smile?"
Nanxun smiled and said, "I'm not as good as others. There's nothing I can do. Do I have to cry?"
Lan Bing, Jun Ling, Dai Yi, Lu Qing, Liang Yiran, and the others had looked down on Nanxun before. They felt that Nanxun's entry into the semifinals was due to luck. However, their gazes toward Nanxun were now full of respect.
Everyone knew that if they were to fight against Nanxun, they would have no chance of winning. Moreover, they would not be able to get close to her at all.
Jun Ling was also lamenting. He had always felt that he was an expert after obtaining the divine light energy. Now, it seemed that he was completely wrong. This year's carnival was really full of experts. Moreover, all the favorites for the championship had been eliminated. Instead, it was Ding Meng and Guan Wuming, who were not favored, who had made it to the top.
Nanxun said, "Alright, my journey to the Star Wars Carnival has come to an end. I've disturbed everyone for so long. It's time for me to leave."
Ji Chenxue asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"
Nanxun said, "Of course it's to go sightseeing and roam the world."
The girls looked at each other, and Dai Yi couldn't help but ask, "There's still an award ceremony after the competition. Don't you want the gifts and prizes?"
Nanxun smiled. "Ha, Miss Dai, you don't know this, right? Those worldly possessions will be sent to the designated locations and accounts of the contestants. If Ding Meng wins the championship, the prize money will definitely be transferred to the Bingyi Group's account. Everyone, thank you for your hospitality during this period of time. Let's part ways here.
Ji Chenxue and Lan Bing stood up at the same time. "I'll send you off!"
Bingyi Group's helipad had already prepared a luxurious flying car. The person who came to receive them was actually the Transit String's secretary, Jin Xiaoyan.
When she saw Jin Xiaoyan, Lan Bing couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Secretary Jin!"
Jin Xiaoyan was a little embarrassed. Lan Bing's question meant that she already knew the result of Ding Meng and Nanxun's battle.
Fortunately, Nanxun took the initiative to explain. "President Lan, don't misunderstand. Actually, the battle with Ding Meng in Star Wars is quite interesting. Even if Ding Meng can't beat me today, I will take the initiative to admit defeat."
"Eh?" Lan Bing was surprised. "Why?"
Nanxun answered meaningfully, "The champion and the runner-up are actually the same. Once a person becomes famous, there will be a lot of gossip. That's not necessarily a good thing."
Lan Bing smiled bitterly. "I really admire Sister Nan's breadth of mind."
Nanxun turned her head and smiled. "If Ding Meng becomes the champion, he will have a lot of income. Chenxue, this way, Ding Meng will have the capital to marry you."
Ji Chenxue blushed. "Sister Xun, you're playing matchmaker again."
Nanxun stopped smiling and sighed. "Sigh, you guys don't understand. This has nothing to do with feelings. It has to do with the competition for the interests of the major factions, and even the general trend of the Federal Empire."
Lan Bing and Ji Chenxue couldn't understand these words. However, Nanxun didn't seem to be joking. Ji Chenxue's expression didn't look too good. It wasn't that she hated Ding Meng. On the contrary, she had always admired Ding Meng. More than that, she treated Ding Meng as a kindred spirit. It didn't involve a romantic relationship.
Of course, with Ji Chenxue's arrogant standards, Ding Meng's strength could match hers. However, he wasn't her ideal Prince Charming. Moreover, Ding Meng already had four wives. This was something she couldn't accept.
Nanxun saw that the atmosphere had become a little tense. He changed his words. "It's a little too early to talk about this. President Lan, please tell Ding Meng that I'll be waiting for him in the capital. Alright, it's getting late. I should be going!"
As the flying car slowly rose into the sky, Lan Bing and Ji Chenxue finally turned around and left.
Ji Chenxue suddenly asked, "President Lan, how did you and Ding Meng meet?"
Lan Bing smiled. "I'm afraid you won't believe me. He and I are enemies."
"Enemies?" Ji Chenxue was surprised.
Lan Bing nodded. "I had many opportunities to kill him in the beginning. Later, he had many opportunities to kill me as well. However, he didn't do it."
Ji Chenxue hesitated. "So you guys …"
"That's not it!"
Lan Bing interrupted her. "I should say that Miss Dai, Miss Lu, and Miss Eisen have all gone through life and death with him. They gradually developed feelings for each other, especially Miss Lu. She waited bitterly for him in the dangerous environment of Planet Extreme Flame for three years. With Ding Meng's personality, he probably won't give up on anyone who follows him."
"What about you?" Ji Chenxue's interest was suddenly piqued.
Lan Bing smiled. "I actually gave myself to him a long time ago through a series of coincidences. Perhaps I'm a rather traditional person. I don't want to have a second man."
Ji Chenxue felt slightly relieved after hearing her explanation. "My apologies for asking you about such a sensitive topic."
Lan Bing knew what she was thinking. She took the initiative to say, "Miss Ji, sometimes feelings can't be forced. However, sometimes the situation is more important than the person."
Ji Chenxue frowned. "Why do you say that?"
Lan Bing also sighed softly. "Ding Meng has made many enemies. Let's talk about the Federation first. Sheng Hao and Xinhong are two behemoths, especially the Xinhong Group. They will definitely fight to the death. Then there's the Empire. The Chancellor and the Beidou Group will definitely not let Ding Meng, you, and the Transit String go. It's because the three of you know something that you shouldn't know."
Ji Chenxue nodded. Chancellor Wen Yang represented Apocalypse and Beidou. Ding Meng knew about the scandal and had undoubtedly offended the Federal Empire's largest corporation.
Lan Bing sighed. "In outer space, there are also underground organizations like the Hidden Front and the Black Handprint. They are all potential enemies. Ji Chenxue, what I mean is that if I were you and you didn't stay in the Bingyi Group, you might have nowhere to go. Of course, you also have the identity of a Divine Light martial artist. This is very dangerous."
Ji Chenxue pondered and said, "But this shouldn't be the reason why I'm with Ding Meng, right?"
Lan Bing smiled. "That's definitely not what I mean. I just feel that Big Sister Nanxun is much older than us and has experienced more. She can see through many things more clearly than we can. Since she's not joking, she must have her reasons. I feel that it's better to take this seriously."
Ji Chenxue also smiled. "President Lan, you're very cautious."
Lan Bing said, "I've always taken my seniors' opinions seriously."
Ji Chenxue said, "I've always been curious. You guys get along quite well. Don't you have any grudges?"
Lan Bing laughed. "Everyone has their own selfish motives. Sometimes, I envy the Empire's monogamy, but this is the Federation. When Ding Meng was still a refugee, who would have taken a liking to him?
But now, with his status and strength, isn't it normal for him to be surrounded by beauties?
At the very least, he's much better than those rich and powerful people I've met. At least he doesn't abandon anyone and treats everyone well. If it weren't for him, I might have died on Planet Thorn. "
Ji Chenxue sighed. "President Lan, your mentality is worth learning from."
Lan Bing smiled. "You flatter me. Actually, Miss Ji, you don't have to care too much about Big Sister Nanxun's opinion. Just because you've invested hundreds of billions in our company, you'll always be an important guest here."
Ji Chenxue also smiled. "Ding Meng has a good wife like you. It's hard for him not to get rich."
Lan Bing said, "Let's go back to the conference room. The finals are about to begin."
The finals of the Battle of the Kings first required a grand entrance ceremony. The central stage of the arena slowly lifted off the ground and rose into the air. The two contestants received the attention of everyone below the stage and on the live broadcast.
The system's data showed that the number of online viewers for this final battle had exceeded 660 billion. This was the highest in the history of the Galactic Combat Carnival. At the same time, the prize pool had accumulated to 53 trillion, which was also the highest in history. Crazy Explosion and Guan Wuming's popularity had both exceeded 50 billion. They were the two most popular contestants of this year's Galactic Combat Carnival …
Ding Meng had seen Long Yu's true appearance before. However, on this stage, Long Yu's image was completely different. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and his leather shoes were shiny. He appeared as a Bald Head. Those who didn't know him would never have imagined that this was Guan Xinqing's old bodyguard.
Actually, Ding Meng had also misjudged Guan Wuming. He had always thought that Guan Wuming's strength was at the intermediate wargod level. However, Guan Wuming had been able to defeat Jun Ling. That meant that he wasn't at the level of an Origin Ability user, but rather an interstellar martial artist.
At this moment, under the attention of everyone, the system transformed the two contestants' avatars into white light and rose into the sky. The final battle had finally begun.
The amount of attention paid to this battle could be said to be unprecedented. In the conference room of the Bingyi Building, the Guan family's mansion in Xingwu City, the Ling family's private residence in Saint Splendor Capital, the Xia family's mansion, as well as the live VIP rooms and the various broadcast channels, all sorts of people were paying attention to this final battle.
However, in the skies above Blue Pole Star City, Jin Xiaoyan and Nanxun were not paying attention. Jin Xiaoyan fiddled with the control panel. "Miss Nan, according to the previous plan, we will take the interstellar shuttle from the space station to the capital. Sister Xuan has agreed to meet us at the Frost Building in a week."
Nanxun waved his hand. "There's no need for a meeting."
"Why?" Jin Xiaoyan was surprised.
Nanxun said in a low voice, "Inform Xuan Xuan and have her wait for me at the Xiaolin Research Institute."
Jin Xiaoyan was even more surprised. "That's an S-class restricted military zone. She can't enter without a special pass."
Nanxun's lips curled into a smile. "Don't worry. If I tell her to go, she'll definitely be able to enter!"
