Chapter 137: Entering the Spirit Realm, the Challenge Begins!

Chapter 137: Entering the Spirit Realm, the Challenge Begins!

(PS: It seems that most people don't enjoy the King's Glory mode, so as promised, I'll make a change right away! The fifth layer of the Spirit Realm will be modified to a challenge mode, and the previous chapters have already been updated. The challenge mode is also quite interesting.)



Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

On October 1st, Zhao Zheng woke up early.

Race: Human.

Constitution: 1610

Mental: 467

Strength: 1610

Agility: 1610

Talent: Kryptonian Bloodline [Steel Body 3, Super Strength 3].

Skills: Fist Bone Impact, Armored Color Dominance (Mastery).

Spirit Energy Points: 790.

These were Zhao Zheng's current attributes.

With a smile on his face, he stepped out of the sunlight bath, freshened up, and prepared to head to school.

Today was the day the Spirit Realm would be opened.

More importantly, many big shots would be coming today, and his teacher had specifically reminded him not to be late.

Zhao Zheng opened the door and immediately spotted Qin Muyin standing at the entrance.

"Good morning, Sister Qin," he greeted her.

He took the initiative to say hello and then smiled, saying, "I was just thinking of calling you! I didn't expect you to be ready already."

Qin Muyin responded with a smile, "On such an important day, I should get up early, so I won't hold you back."

Zhao Zheng glanced at the time and said, "The school will provide a sumptuous breakfast today. Let's go now so we can eat."

"Then let's go!" Qin Muyin said.

The two set off together, heading towards True Martial University.

A moment later, they reached the school gate and were stopped by the guards.

"Please show your IDs!"

Today, True Martial University was even more stringent than usual.

As many people were expected to arrive at the school today, the security personnel were extra cautious for Song Haitang's safety.

Zhao Zheng and Qin Muyin naturally cooperated and showed their IDs.

After entering the school, they found it bustling with activity.

The school grounds were already filled with people, gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing.

These individuals' demeanor and mannerisms indicated that they were all influential figures from various factions.

Soon, Zhao Zheng spotted a familiar face.

"Sister Qin, why don't you head to the cafeteria first? I saw a senior over there, so I'll go and greet him."

"Sure, you go ahead. Don't worry about me."

Qin Muyin headed towards the cafeteria as she spoke.

Zhao Zheng approached the familiar figure.

"Good morning, Uncle Song," Zhao Zheng greeted him.

Indeed, the familiar face was Song Haitang's father, President Song! It was only natural for President Song to be here, given his position as Song Haitang's father.

Oh, right. President Song's current identity was no longer the previous city's Extraordinary Association President but the province's Extraordinary Association President, and he had officially assumed the position.

He was indeed a high-ranking and influential figure!

The few middle-aged men conversing with President Song also subtly deferred to him, their words filled with flattery and servility.

President Song himself exuded confidence, his face beaming with a self-assured smile.

However, upon seeing Zhao Zheng, his smile gradually faded.

In response to Zhao Zheng's greeting, President Song nodded slightly and said, "Young Zhao, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Go ahead and eat first!"

It was clear that President Song wasn't in the mood to chat with Zhao Zheng.

He had a preconceived notion about Zhao Zheng, and no matter how well Zhao Zheng behaved, in his eyes, he was still a young man trying to steal his daughter away.

Zhao Zheng understood President Song's intentions and said, "Then I won't bother you, Uncle Song."

With that, Zhao Zheng turned and left.

He didn't mind President Song's attitude.

If he were in President Song's position, he would have made sure that any young man trying to take his daughter away would be in pieces.

President Song, on the other hand, frowned as he watched Zhao Zheng's departing figure.

He had wanted his daughter to invite 'Chen Ye' to pursue her, but she had directly refused, using the excuse that Chen Ye was her senior and she couldn't do that.

It was evident that President Song's attempt to get Chen Ye to pursue his daughter had not gone smoothly!

He didn't know where Chen Ye had gone, as his phone had been turned off every time he tried to contact him.

...

Zhao Zheng arrived at the cafeteria and found it even more crowded than before.

Many of the people there were from various social circles.

Qin Muyin was chatting and having breakfast with several men and women, likely her colleagues from the Zodiac Bureau.

The teachers and students were also having their meals.

Zhao Zheng didn't think much of it and picked up a tray to get his breakfast.

Today's breakfast was a buffet-style spread, and it looked delicious.

As Zhao Zheng ate, his phone rang.

It was his older cousin calling.

His cousin said that he had arrived at the school gate but had been stopped by the guards.

Zhao Zheng, upon hearing this, quickly finished the food on his plate and then stood up, heading towards the school entrance.

At the school entrance, Zhao Zheng saw a familiar figure.

"Zhenzi!"

The young man called out to Zhao Zheng.

"Big Brother."

Zhao Zheng also shouted and walked towards him.

Speaking of it, since his transmigration, this was the first time he had seen his eldest brother.

The eldest brother, after graduating, joined the military and became a soldier, reportedly in the Superhuman Force, rarely returning home.

Oh, right.

This eldest brother's name is Zhao Rong! Zhao Rong is already twenty-seven years old, with a sturdy figure and a resolute appearance. His every move exudes a strong military style, making him very capable.

It seems that the other party came directly from the military region, still wearing a military uniform.

The guard at the entrance, seeing Zhao Zheng coming out to greet someone, immediately allowed Zhao Rong to pass.

Zhao Zheng had already sent the invitation letter given by the school to his eldest brother, and Zhao Rong had just presented the invitation letter.

However, the invitation letter is easily stolen, so having the invitation letter alone is not enough. It also requires students from inside to come out and vouch for the guest, serving as a guarantee.

This measure is naturally to prevent troublemakers from entering the school.

"Zhenzi!"

The eldest brother walked into the school, came to Zhao Zheng, patted Zhao Zheng's shoulder, and smiled, "Good boy, after a year of not seeing you, you've completely changed! If it weren't for your unchanged eyebrows and eyes, I wouldn't dare recognize you."

These words are very true.

Because during this time, Zhao Zheng's changes have indeed been significant.

The changes brought about by the Mega Constitution are astonishing! The current Zhao Zheng is like a completely different person compared to his high school days.

His current height has surpassed his eldest brother, Zhao Rong.

Moreover, his physique is robust, and his body is full of muscles, with a very low body fat percentage.

"Big Brother, your changes are also significant. The military really trains people well!" Zhao Zheng said with admiration.

In the original body, the relationship between him and this eldest brother was not very good.

After all, the age gap between the two was evident, and they didn't play together when they were young.

However, both of them have grown up now, and for Grandpa Zhao's sake, at least their relationship on the surface is harmonious.

...

A moment later.

Zhao Zheng led Zhao Rong to the restaurant, had breakfast with him, and accompanied his eldest brother to tour the school.

By the time it was 10 AM.

Zhao Zheng let his eldest brother explore on his own, as he needed to gather with his teammates.

When he arrived at the lounge, his teammates were also arriving one after another.

"Brother Zhao, we're teaming up again."

The speaker was none other than Jiang Hebin.

"Yeah!"

Zhao Zheng smiled and responded, his gaze turning towards the lounge, where he saw two unfamiliar figures.

Over the past month.

Among the ten team members, except for Song Haitang, the others had all received invitations from other students.

69BookBar

After all, everyone unanimously believed that following Song Haitang would guarantee a win!

Who wouldn't want the free Spirit Energy Points? Even Zhao Zheng had a reckless challenger.

However, Zhao Zheng easily defeated him.

Interestingly, there were two unlucky individuals who were challenged and replaced by others.

They were Zhang Ling from Class A and Su Ziqiu from Class B.

Both were female.

The two successful challengers were a male and a female.

Therefore, the original team underwent changes.

A moment later.

The participating members all arrived.

Jiang Hebin immediately said, "I think we need to get to know each other better."

The ten participating members this time were similar to the previous ten in the third-layer competition realm, except for a few new members who needed to get familiar with each other.

Thus, Jiang Hebin and the others introduced themselves.

"We don't need to mention Sister Haitang and Brother Zhao, as you're both famous..."

Jiang Hebin was very considerate, directly skipping Song Haitang and Zhao Zheng, and turned his gaze towards the newcomers.

The newcomers were also very aware, and they stood up and introduced themselves.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Chenggang, and my talent is the mutant 'Sabertooth' bloodline. My talent ability is mainly self-healing, and currently as long as my internal organs are not injured, external injuries have no effect on me. In addition to self-healing, my nails have transformed into tiger claws, and I have a decent attack."

As he finished speaking.

Zhang Chenggang deliberately stretched out his palm.

Everyone noticed that Zhang Chenggang's palm was already different from ordinary people, larger than normal by a circle, and with some brown hair growing on the back of his hand. The most eye-catching feature was his fingers, which had no visible nails.

The next moment.

"Clang!"

Five sharp claws popped out from Zhang Chenggang's finger pads.

Incredibly sharp!

It's similar to the claws of a fierce tiger.

Everyone found Zhang Chenggang's "Tiger Claws" intriguing and couldn't help but stare.

As Zhang Chenggang sat down, another male student stood up.

"Hello everyone, I'm Tang Chuan. My innate ability is the Power Fruit Ability User of the Superhuman System, and I can currently amplify my strength by 200%!" He continued, "My strength attribute has now reached 500 points."

Although Tang Chuan's introduction was brief, the audience was surprised.

Tang Chuan's fruit ability could increase his strength by twofold, and with his current strength attribute at 500 points, his total strength attribute had already surpassed 1000.

For their current stage, having an attribute over 1000 was indeed impressive.

No wonder this Tang Chuan was able to successfully challenge and become a team member!

The last one to introduce herself was a female student.

She looked extraordinary, even a bit eerie, with her loose-fitting clothes failing to conceal her exaggerated muscles.

She was like a muscular Barbie!

"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Yuqing. In the Holy Land, I obtained the Super Warrior Serum as my innate ability. This serum is similar to the Super Soldier Serum, and after using it, my constitution, strength, and agility attributes all surpassed 100. The only side effect is that it made me look a bit bigger..."

"Currently, my constitution, strength, and agility attributes are all above 300, and my strength attribute has even broken through 400!"

The audience was once again surprised by her statement.

Calculating her total attributes, Wang Yuqing had also surpassed 1000.

These attributes were higher than many of her peers.

After the introductions, it was time to choose the "Captain"!

The fifth-floor Challenge Realm involved a lot of strategic considerations, so they needed a capable leader to command the team.

"Regarding the captain's selection... I think there's no need to choose, right?"

Jiang Hebin, always one to show off, spoke up, "Aside from Sister Haitang, I can't think of anyone more suitable than her."

Upon hearing this, the other students, at least on the surface, seemed to agree.

Only Song Haitang disagreed.

"Compared to me, Zhao Zheng is more suitable for the captain's position this time."

The audience was surprised by her statement.

Song Haitang didn't elaborate further, simply saying, "In the previous Spirit Realm, I could only achieve the SSS-Class Task Evaluation by following his commands. So, listening to him is definitely the right choice!"

The students were astonished by her words.

There had been rumors that Zhao Zheng played the role of the strategist while Song Haitang focused on offense.

Many people didn't believe it at first.

After all, Song Haitang had been a top student in high school, while Zhao Zheng, though not a failure, wasn't exceptional.

Now it seemed the rumors were true!

"Then let's follow Brother Zhao's commands!" Jiang Hebin said immediately.

The others naturally agreed.

With Song Haitang's endorsement, who would dare to disagree?

Zhao Zheng didn't object either.

Since this Spirit Realm was conducted in full view of everyone, it didn't matter who was the captain.

And so, the captain was decided.

...

At 11:00, the students left the lounge and headed to the playground.

The playground was already filled with people.

Aside from the freshmen of Zhenwu University, most of the remaining crowd consisted of teachers, leaders, and members of society.

As Zhao Zheng and his group appeared, all eyes turned to them.

The gazes held admiration, pride, envy, anticipation, and jealousy.

The envy and jealousy mostly came from a minority of the freshmen, while the majority felt anticipation.

Most of the freshmen were excited because they had a clear understanding of their abilities. Usually, they couldn't earn 100 Spirit Energy Points in the Spirit Realm.

Now, without exerting any effort or taking any risks, they could simply watch Song Haitang lead the team to victory and earn the 100 Spirit Energy Points reward.

For them, could there be a better outcome?

They wished every Spirit Realm stage was like this, allowing them to effortlessly succeed.

As for the pride, it belonged to Song Haitang's father!

Having a daughter like Song Haitang would make any parent incredibly proud!

"President Song, is that your daughter?"

"One minute left, everyone, please hold hands."

Hearing this, the students linked hands.

This was the way to enter the Spirit Realm; there was no other option.

A minute later, everyone on the playground disappeared...
