Chapter 208: Trouble! Strength Attribute Breaks 30,000

Chapter 208: Trouble! Strength Attribute Breaks 30,000

As Zhao Zheng removed his glasses and returned to his original state, he headed back to the Zhao family, where his father, Zhao Chenghua, immediately rushed over and gave him a tight bear hug.

Zhao Chenghua was purely thrilled!

This son of his had given him too many surprises.

Additionally, he also felt a bit of fear...

During the previous duel, although Zhao Chenghua hadn't gone to spectate, he had been watching the live stream at home the entire time.

Seeing his son defeat Liu Qing filled him with excitement.

Witnessing his son's victory over Ma Dongwu left him pleasantly surprised.

When Zhao Chenghua saw his son almost getting into a conflict with a King Rank powerhouse, he was terrified.

He was genuinely afraid of losing such an outstanding son.

"You little rascal..."

Zhao Chenghua's emotions were in turmoil, leaving him speechless, and tears streamed down his face.

Fortunately, at that moment, it wasn't too embarrassing for the general manager of Zhao's Technology Company to be seen crying in front of his son.

"Dad! What are you doing? I'm already back."

Zhao Zheng said with a smile.

The old man beside him let out a cold harrumph, "Look at you, so unambitious. You're not even half as good as my well-behaved great-grandson. How can you manage things like this?"

Zhao Zheng gave the old man a funny look.

Just now in the car, the old man had also been so excited that he cried, and now he was scolding his son, but he seemed to have a way with words.

Zhao Chenghua wiped his tears and said, "Dad, I'm not a management talent by nature. I plan to hire a professional manager to handle the company's daily affairs. I just need to oversee the overall direction of the company."

"Do as you please!"

The old man let out another cold harrumph.

Normally, he would have said more, but at this moment, his eyes were only for Zhao Zheng, his great-grandson.

With Zhao Zheng around, the rise of the Zhao family was just around the corner.

Even if Zhao Chenghua bankrupted the company, it wouldn't matter.

The old man saw it clearly; in this world, strength was the foundation for rising to power.

Having wealth without the strength to protect it would eventually lead to benefiting others.

Although he didn't mind, he still needed to voice his concerns.

"Now that your son has helped you solve the biggest problem, if you still can't show some results, I'll be embarrassed for you!"

Zhao Chenghua was scolded by the old man, leaving him speechless, "I understand, Dad."

At that moment, the grandfather and grandson gathered at the old man's home.

The great-uncle and others were not around.

The old man looked at Zhao Zheng, his eyes filled with appreciation, and sighed, "I never imagined that in less than a year, you would already possess such strength. Is Kryptonian heritage truly this powerful?"

Zhao Zheng smiled and nodded, "Yes, Kryptonian heritage should be the strongest natural ability in the Holy Land."

"Good! Excellent!"

The old man was invigorated for a moment, but then his expression turned worried, "However, by revealing such formidable strength today, you will undoubtedly attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. Your true identity may not remain hidden for long."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chenghua's face showed concern.

"Grandpa, don't worry. I didn't plan on hiding it for long anyway," Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "Next month, as long as no one else acquires the Kryptonian heritage ability, it's unlikely anyone else will in the future. At that time, I won't need to deliberately conceal my identity."

The old man, being an Extraordinary Being, understood what Zhao Zheng meant and smiled, nodding, "Indeed, with your current strength, you already possess the uniqueness of the ability. The Holy Land shouldn't produce the same kind of ability again."

"For safety's sake, waiting another month is indeed better. Well done!"

At this point, the old man looked at Zhao Zheng with satisfaction.

This grandson was truly perfect—not only young and powerful but also so composed and unflappable. It was truly rare...

...

That evening.

News of the duel immediately trended on social media.

Videos from the duel arena spread like wildfire across the internet.

Netizens marveled at the strength of the "Chen Ye" big shot and were extremely curious about his information.

Countless netizens began searching and digging for everything about Chen Ye, only to discover, surprisingly, that information about Chen Ye was scarce!

In this modern age of information overload, it was almost unbelievable.

It would be difficult to investigate if Chen Ye had indeed grown up in the depths of the mountains, never stepping into civilized society.

At the very least, the netizens didn't have the capability to uncover such information.

Some smart individuals realized that Chen Ye might be an alias...

For several consecutive days, Chen Ye dominated the trending searches.

It wasn't until a few days later when a shocking incident occurred abroad that the netizens' attention was diverted.

A temporal rift reappeared, and an extremely terrifying monster emerged, annihilating a small country...

The royal family of that nation was nearly wiped out, with only two heirs studying abroad surviving.

This incident immediately shocked the entire world!

Temporal rifts had rarely appeared in the past.

And now, just half a year after the last temporal rift, another one appeared.

This couldn't help but worry countless people! They feared that temporal rifts might become a regular occurrence in the future.

Zhao Zheng also noticed this news and furrowed his brows.

However, upon learning that most of the citizens of the annihilated small country were a branch of the Squid People, he didn't seem as sympathetic...

...

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, it was early May.

In the morning, Zhao Zheng opened his eyes in the sunbathing apparatus and immediately checked his attribute panel.

Race: Human

Constitution: 4035

Mental: 1222

Strength: 4035

Agility: 4035

Talent: Quake Fruit Technique, Kryptonian Heritage [Steel Body 6, Super Strength 6, Super Speed 6, Super Flight, Heat Vision 1].

Skills: Bone Fist Impact, Armored Color Domination (Mastery), Divine Descent, Extraordinary Sense, Tyrant Color Aura (Proficiency).

Supportive Ability: Dimensional Space.

Spirit Energy Points: 645.

...

These were Zhao Zheng's current attributes.

Extremely exaggerated!

As a newcomer who had just passed the tenth layer of the Spirit Realm, his attributes were ridiculously impressive.

Ever since he defeated that old guy from South Korea, he had been sunbathing daily, which increased his Constitution, Strength, and Agility attributes by 15 points each, and his Mental attribute had improved to 5 points, accelerating his strength growth.

Even more exaggerated was that his Steel Body, Super Strength, and Super Speed had all reached Level 6. This was because, after breaking through the 4000-point threshold in Constitution, Strength, and Agility, each of these attributes had improved by one level.

Upon calculation, Zhao Zheng's actual strength had already reached 24,210 points!

His power had increased by an entire level compared to before.

This was without even considering the boost from Armored Color Domination.

Once Armored Color Domination was activated, his strength would surpass 30,000 points!

Zhao Zheng's face revealed a hint of delight.

The feeling of witnessing his strength rapidly grow was truly exhilarating.

He got up and left the sunbathing apparatus, heading to the bathroom to start his morning routine.

Oh, right.

He was still at his family home, and the sunbathing apparatus was purchased by his father and installed in his room...

After finishing his morning routine, Zhao Zheng went downstairs to enjoy the breakfast his mother had prepared. Then, he left the house alone.

Today was May 1st.

The Sacred Land had already opened.

The entire world was busy preparing eligible teenagers to enter the Sacred Land and obtain their extraordinary opportunities.

Walking on the streets, one could see various banners and slogans related to the Sacred Land tests.

On the roads, numerous traffic police were on strict duty, providing convenience to eligible teenagers and allowing them to pass.

This familiar scene reminded Zhao Zheng of his past life on Earth and the college entrance exams.

After a moment of reflection, he realized that the two were indeed quite similar.

Moments later, Zhao Zheng arrived at the entrance of his alma mater.

This was his high school, and it was also the first setting he encountered after his transmigration.

At that moment, the school entrance was already crowded with students.

His hearing was excellent, and he could hear the students' anxious and nervous discussions...

"Finally, this day has arrived. May the Sacred Immortals bless us, and I hope I can obtain a powerful extraordinary opportunity."

"Damn, I had insomnia last night. Even sleeping pills didn't help. I wonder if it will affect my performance today."

"Don't worry! The opportunities in the Sacred Land don't depend on your state; they rely on luck."

"I wonder if I'll obtain an extraordinary opportunity this time. I'm not asking for much; just give me a Super-type Devil Fruit."

"I want a Natural Devil Fruit..."

"Are you kidding? A Natural Devil Fruit? That's rarer than winning the lottery."

"Speaking of Natural Devil Fruits, it reminds me of this time last year when our school had a Burn Burn Fruit."

"No need to show off; everyone knows about it."

"I still find it a bit unbelievable. How could Zhao Zheng, our senior, bear to give up the Burn Burn Fruit and let Song Haitang, our senior sister, have it?"

"It's truly unbelievable... I heard that they're now inseparable and will likely end up together. Zhao Zheng really hit the jackpot with that!"

"Oh, and Song Haitang's portrait is still hanging in the school's honor display room!"

"I wish I could be like Senior Song Haitang and become the top freshman this year."

Hearing these conversations, Zhao Zheng merely smiled.

Then, he went to a hotel across from the school and booked a room by the hour.

Today was the Sacred Ground testing day at his alma mater, and the school wouldn't allow any outsiders in.

However, Zhao Zheng's current spiritual power was strong enough.

With his vision, he could see the school's interior even from the hotel room.

And indeed, it was true.

As Zhao Zheng entered the room and drew the curtains, he could see the school's playground.

At that moment, several staff members were busy setting up a platform and installing equipment.

Zhao Zheng moved a chair over and sat by the window, simultaneously opening his laptop to monitor the online trends.

He wanted to observe and see if anyone obtained a Kryptonian Heritage Card!

After all, he had nothing better to do.

It was around 9 a.m.

Zhao Zheng sat by the window, watching the students going on stage, entering the Spirit Realm, and then displaying a rich range of human emotions.

Those who obtained extraordinary talents were excited and exhilarated.

Those with ordinary opportunities showed joy, while the majority of students left empty-handed, their faces filled with regret.

Seeing these students' reactions, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but recall the scenes from the past...

Not long after, all the senior students finished their tests.

Zhao Zheng's alma mater didn't produce any students with extraordinary abilities this year, leaving the president and other leaders disappointed.

Oh, and by the way.

Zhao Zheng noticed that the school's president had changed.

The previous president probably got a promotion.

After all, the school produced a genius like Song Haitang! Her outstanding performance not only benefited herself but also others. It's a true example of 'when one attains the Tao, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven'!"

After watching the students' performances, Zhao Zheng didn't leave. He remained in the hotel room, watching the online trends.

At that moment, the internet was buzzing with testing news from all over the country.

Whenever someone obtained a powerful ability, it was immediately posted online, attracting a wave of envious comments.

Around noon, Zhao Zheng was about to pack up and head home for lunch.

Suddenly, a post caught his attention.

【Holy sht! Something big is happening! Someone abroad just witnessed a high school student seemingly obtaining the Burn Burn Fruit in the Spirit Realm...】

The blogger not only posted the news but also shared a video.

Zhao Zheng immediately clicked to play the video.

The video was shot from the rooftop of a building, with the camera aimed at a nearby high school.

That high school was also conducting tests.

Zhao Zheng witnessed a black student entering the Spirit Realm and emerging with a crystal box in his hands.

The student couldn't contain his excitement and shouted with joy as soon as he left the Spirit Realm.

When he opened the box, revealing a crimson-red Devil Fruit inside, students and teachers alike were stunned.

Zhao Zheng paused the video at this point.

His eyes narrowed as he stared at the screen, and his brows furrowed.

He was familiar with that Devil Fruit, as he had encountered it before. It was the Burn Burn Fruit.

Unexpectedly, this year's Spirit Realm produced another one this year? Although Song Haitang's current abilities don't yet possess 'unique talent,' this was still too much of a coincidence...

As he watched the black student in the video ignore the offers from the crowd and swallow the Burn Burn Fruit without hesitation, Zhao Zheng's brows furrowed.

This kid, after consuming the Burn Burn Fruit, would likely trigger a competitive effect, possibly affecting Song Haitang's side as well.

The video ended abruptly, as if the blogger posted it in a hurry.

Zhao Zheng found that the video had been removed.
