Chapter 211: Zhao Zheng's Strength! Wang Fei Was Scared to Tears...

Newcomers only need to safely pass the first ten layers of the mandatory Spirit Realm.

After that, when the Spirit Realm opens again, they can freely choose whether to enter or not.

The moment the Spirit Realm opens, all Extraordinary Beings who have passed the first ten layers (excluding retirees) will receive a prompt in their left eye.

Entering the Spirit Realm is simple; just confirm the prompt.

Not entering the Spirit Realm is also simple; just ignore it.

The prompt will only appear for 10 seconds and then disappear if missed.

In the rest room.

When everyone saw Wang Fei and Chen Kai standing with Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang, envy and jealousy were evident on their faces.

Not just the students, but even some teachers were envious!

Following these two could lead to becoming an Overgod, and the survival rate would significantly increase.

It's no exaggeration to say that those chosen by Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang have already had their fates changed!

"Didn't Song Haitang and Zhao Zheng usually go in pairs for all Spirit Realms except for the multi-person team ones? Why the change this time?"

"I'm not sure, they suddenly decided to change."

"These two youngsters, if they can keep following them, are bound to rise to prominence."

"Indeed! What good fortune they must have had in past lives."

"Speaking of which, the quality of this batch of students is truly impressive! I thought not many would show up today, but almost everyone is here."

"Probably the presence of an outstanding student like Song Haitang is also a form of motivation for the others."

A few teachers gathered and whispered among themselves.

Indeed.

Everyone was quite surprised by the number of students who showed up today.

After all, starting from the Eleventh Layer Spirit Realm, it's no longer mandatory, so there's no need to push so hard...

A one-minute countdown.

It quickly ended.

A prompt immediately appeared in everyone's left eye.

All the students chose to confirm their entry into the Spirit Realm!

Ten seconds later, all the students in the rest room vanished from their spots...

...

New York City.

In a secluded alley, Song Haitang and the other three emerged.

The area was bustling with towering skyscrapers, and the streets were teeming with traffic and people.

Such a bustling scene made everyone look around in amazement.

"Wasn't this supposed to be a world of superhumans? Why aren't we seeing any? These passersby look pretty ordinary!" Wang Fei couldn't help but ask.

Chen Kai responded, "According to the teacher, there are actually very few superhumans in this world; most are still ordinary people."

Wang Fei nodded, then noticed something different.

"That light in the sky... " He looked up, squinting against the bright light and asked, "Is this the legendary light of a star, the sunlight?"

"Probably!"

Song Haitang replied, then closed her eyes and quietly felt the warmth of the sunlight on her skin, a look of contentment appearing on her face.

"So, this is what it feels like to bask in the sun?" Chen Kai marveled, "It's really nice!"

Wang Fei nodded in agreement.

The warmth of the sunlight on the skin was indeed very comfortable.

"I heard that over a hundred years ago, our world also had sunlight, and many people enjoyed basking in it."

At that moment.

Song Haitang seemed to recall something and quickly looked at Zhao Zheng.

She saw Zhao Zheng's face filled with surprise, but also a hint of fear...

Song Haitang, being quick-witted, immediately understood what Zhao Zheng was afraid of.

It turned out that the Eleventh Layer Spirit Realm had sunlight. If that old man from South Korea had just held on a bit longer, he might have discovered the secret of Kryptonian Heritage.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans, and the old man had been so terrified in the first ten layers of the Spirit Realm that he dared not come back to the Eleventh Layer...

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong with you?" Wang Fei found Zhao Zheng's reaction a bit strange.

Hearing Wang Fei's voice, Zhao Zheng snapped back to reality.

However, his face still showed a look of shock.

Because, at that moment, a prompt was continuously appearing in his left eye:

[You have absorbed sunlight, Constitution +0.1, Spirit +0.05, Strength +0.1, Agility +0.1...]



[You have absorbed sunlight, Constitution +0.1, Spirit +0.05, Strength +0.1, Agility +0.1...]



[You have absorbed sunlight, Constitution +0.1, Spirit +0.05, Strength +0.1, Agility +0.1...]



Every second, a new prompt appeared!

Zhao Zheng clearly remembered that when he basked in the sunlight on Blue Star, the initial gain per second was "Constitution +0.01, Spirit +0.003, Strength +0.01, Agility +0.01," and the effective time was less than twenty minutes.

After eliminating that old man from South Korea, the effective time for basking in the sunlight increased to nearly half an hour.

Even so.

Compared to the real sun, it was still far inferior.

Every second, it was ten times weaker!

This left Zhao Zheng in awe, but also made him fear for the consequences.

Song Haitang's guess was correct, and his fear was indeed that old South Korean.

If that old guy had persisted for just one more Spirit Realm, he would have discovered the secret of the Kryptonian Heritage...

If that old South Korean were to uncover the secret of the Kryptonian Heritage, there might be nothing left for him. The world order could even change drastically as a result.

The impact of a God Among Men was simply too immense.

"I'm fine..."

Although he said he was okay, Zhao Zheng's heart was far from calm.

He looked up at the sun in the sky, feeling both excited and regretful, his emotions were incredibly complex...

The regret was due to the limited time for this mission, only three hours.

Just as he was thinking about the task, a mission prompt appeared in the left eyes of the four:

【Main Mission: Eliminate the invading Zytareans on Earth!】

【Mission Time: 180 minutes.】

【Hint: The targets killed by all team members will be cumulative, and will count towards mission progress during the settlement.】

【Hint: The more Zytareans killed within the mission time, the higher the reward...】

Indeed.

The world of the Eleventh Layer Spirit Realm was the world of a certain Beyond.

And the timeline was precisely set during the famous "Battle of New York"! The Battle of New York was also the first time the main Avengers members officially assembled to fight aliens as a team.

The Avengers gained their fame in this very battle.

Upon seeing the mission prompt, Wang Fei immediately asked, "Zhao Ge, what should we do next?"

Zhao Zheng originally had a plan, but at this moment, he changed his mind.

"Wang Fei, Chen Kai, you two will follow Hai Tang's commands from now on!"

Zhao Zheng said, "I have something to take care of, and I might need to step in at the last moment."

Upon hearing this, Wang Fei and Chen Kai were both stunned.

Wang Fei was about to ask something, but Zhao Zheng directly raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Do you remember what I said when I invited you? If you're on my team, you have to follow my lead!"

At these words, Wang Fei immediately closed his mouth.

Zhao Zheng turned to Song Haitang and said, "Hai Tang, you take these two with you to carry out the mission. Remember, don't push too hard, just provide some support, and we'll discuss the rest when I return. If it's not possible, you can find a place to have coffee and wait for me for two hours."

Song Haitang had her suspicions about what Zhao Zheng was up to, but upon hearing this, she replied, "I understand."

"So, I'll be back in two hours."

As his words fell, Zhao Zheng suddenly soared into the sky!

"Boom!!!"

High in the sky, a powerful sonic boom erupted, more terrifying than a fighter jet at full speed, even shattering the glass of several nearby skyscrapers.

Countless shards of glass rained down, causing many pedestrians to scream in terror.

The street immediately descended into chaos.

Since Zhao Zheng had already decided to bring Wang Fei and Chen Kai along, he had no intention of hiding his strength in front of them...

Seeing Zhao Zheng's figure soar into the sky, Wang Fei was stunned!

"Th-this... Zhao Ge, he..."

His eyes widened, and for half a day, he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Because he simply didn't know what to say.

Indeed, Zhao Zheng's flying speed was too shocking! In an instant, he was gone...

Chen Kai was equally shocked, but he managed to remain more composed than Wang Fei.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Hai Tang Jie, Zhao Ge, he..." Wang Fei couldn't help but ask.

Song Haitang said, "The commotion here will likely attract those superheroes soon. Let's leave this place for now!"

As her words fell, she quickly led the two away.

...

At this moment, Zhao Zheng was flying at full speed.

His figure swiftly pierced through the atmosphere and entered outer space.

Ordinary people couldn't survive for long in outer space.

But Zhao Zheng was different.

His steel body was incredibly resilient, and the extreme environment of outer space couldn't harm him in the slightest.

The only constraint for him was the inability to breathe in outer space.

At this point, Zhao Zheng still needed to breathe, so he couldn't stay in outer space for too long either.

However, two hours was not a problem.

This was not an exaggeration.

With his current physique, holding his breath for two hours was not an issue at all, and his brain wouldn't suffer from oxygen deprivation...

As soon as Zhao Zheng flew out of the atmosphere, he immediately faced the sun and spread his arms wide! Embracing the sunlight wholeheartedly.

His guess was correct!

Without the obstruction of the atmosphere, the prompt in his left eye indeed changed...

【Your absorption of sunlight: Physique +0.2, Spirit +0.1, Strength +0.2, Agility +0.2...】

【You absorb sunlight, Constitution +0.2, Spirit +0.1, Strength +0.2, Agility +0.2…】

It’s doubled!

Good grief.

If he weren’t so underpowered at the moment, he would have flown right up to the sun to absorb its energy.

Even so, a satisfied expression crossed Zhao Zheng’s face.

At this moment, he felt extremely pleased!

On the ground.

Just as Song Haitang had predicted, Zhao Zheng’s sudden flight quickly attracted the attention of the superheroes.

However,

No superheroes arrived on the scene.

Because, at this moment, all the Avengers were gathered on S.H.I.E.L.D.’s sky carrier.

"Sir, we just detected an anomaly in New York!" Agent Hill reported to a one-eyed black man.

The one-eyed black man was none other than the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Nick Fury!

Due to his dark skin and bald head, he was affectionately nicknamed "Haludan Director."

Hearing Agent Hill’s report, Director Haludan’s face turned serious.

"Is it Loki?" Haludan Director asked.

"No! It’s even more troublesome than Loki…"

As Agent Hill spoke, she played a video.

"Here’s what the satellite just captured. Take a look."

The video clearly showed Zhao Zheng taking off.

His speed was many times faster than their pride and joy, the fighter jets.

In the blink of an eye, he had flown out of the atmosphere.

They couldn’t even tell if he was human or a ghost.

Haludan Director was shocked and then felt a throbbing headache.

The mess Loki caused hadn’t been cleaned up yet, and now a new situation had emerged?

Where did this monster come from?

On the other side,

Song Haitang, along with Wang Fei and Chen Kai, arrived at the base of Stark Industries Tower in Manhattan.

According to her teacher, this should be the main battlefield.

Before long, the Zytareans would appear, right?

"We’ll wait here," Song Haitang said.

This mission had no strategy; they would just rely on their strength to kill.

Wang Fei tried to speak several times but couldn’t hold back any longer and finally asked, "Haitang, what’s Zhao’s actual strength?"

As long as you weren’t a fool, you could tell that Zhao Zheng’s strength was far beyond just Tier 4.

Wang Fei was simple-minded and a bit slow, but he wasn’t a fool…

Song Haitang thought for a moment and then said, "Kryptonian Heritage is the strongest talent in the Holy Land. Starting from the first layer of the Spirit Realm, Zhao Zheng and I have been consistently receiving Overgod evaluations, and it’s not because of me, but Zhao Zheng!"

"My only role is to stand in the front and draw everyone’s attention, making everyone think that I’m the one leading Zhao Zheng to break the Spirit Realm records."

Hearing this,

Wang Fei still had a look of disbelief on his face.

Chen Kai, however, let out a heavy sigh.

He had long suspected that Zhao Zheng was far more complex than he seemed!

"Zhao hid his strength because there was another Kryptonian Heritage holder in South Korea? And now he’s willing to bring us along because that Kryptonian Heritage holder died recently?"

"Exactly!"

Song Haitang nodded and then reminded them, "Although Zhao Zheng no longer needs to hide his strength, I hope you won’t go around talking about it. Let everything happen naturally."

Voluntarily revealing one’s strength is pure foolishness.

Even Wang Fei knew that.

"Haitang, rest assured, I won’t reveal a single detail about Zhao’s secret!"

"Me neither!"

Chen Kai and Wang Fei both promised.

Song Haitang nodded; she trusted their integrity.

"Then, what’s Zhao Zheng’s current strength?" Wang Fei couldn’t help but ask again, "What stage is he at?"

Song Haitang answered honestly, "He’s almost at the Eighth Rank Archon level, I think."

"Ah?"

At these words, the two companions were stunned again.

What did the Archon level mean?

They were well aware.

Out of billions of people on Earth, there were only a little over twenty Archon-level powerhouses.

This was just the official data; in reality, many small countries called their Seventh Rank powerhouses "Archons" just to save face.

The true number of those who deserved the title of Archon was probably less than twenty.

Seeing the two still seemed a bit skeptical, Song Haitang said bluntly, "You remember the Great Wilderness Duel that caused a big stir? The Chen Ye who killed Liu Qing was actually Zhao Zheng!"

Hearing this,

The two were utterly stunned…
