Chapter 217: Super Rewards: The Immortal Demon Body (Thanks to the Alliance Leader's Indifference)



On Blue Star.

In the lounge of Zhenwu University.

Countless students returned one after another.

The teachers on duty quickly took a headcount of the students.

After the tally, it was found that only three unfortunate souls hadn't made it back...

The mission in the Eleventh Layer Spirit Realm was certainly not easy, as evidenced by the close call faced by Song Haitang and her team before Zhao Zheng's arrival.

Fortunately, this mission had a short duration of just three hours.

As long as they kept a low profile and didn't draw the attention of the Zytarean army, survival was relatively straightforward.

This was why so many students managed to return from the mission.

The teachers were elated.

The more students survived, the better their performance evaluations would be. Once this batch of students graduated, the teachers would also receive promotions! In contrast, some of the less reputable superhuman universities might lose their entire student body before graduation due to poor natural abilities...

At that time, those teachers wouldn't just miss out on promotions; they might even get fired!

"Welcome back, everyone. You're no longer freshmen, so I won't waste time with unnecessary speeches. Let's proceed with reporting your mission results!" one teacher said.

The students who had received their mission rewards promptly shared their team's achievements.

Most teams reported mission evaluations around the C and B levels, with only two teams achieving an A-rank evaluation.

These results were undoubtedly unsatisfactory for a top-five university in the country.

However, the teachers remained unperturbed.

They had Song Haitang's team as a backup.

As long as Song Haitang's evaluation remained at the Overgod level, it would overshadow the shortcomings of the other students, ensuring that Zhenwu University lived up to its prestigious reputation.

They did not disappoint.

A super announcement appeared once more:

[Announcement! Superhumans Zhao Zheng, Song Haitang, Chen Kai, and Wang Fei have successfully eliminated 1,735,564 Zytareans and annihilated the Zytarean main fleet in the Eleventh Layer Spirit Realm, demonstrating exceptional performance and earning a perfect mission evaluation: SSS-rank!!]



This announcement appeared before the eyes of all superhumans who participated in the Eleventh Layer Spirit Realm mission.

Upon seeing the announcement, everyone present was stunned.

Although they expected Zhao Zheng and his team to excel, the gap between their performance and the others was astonishing.

"Tens, hundreds, thousands, millions...millions? How did they manage that?"

"Even if they sent that nuclear warhead into the spatial passage, it wouldn't be enough, right?"

"Did they...enter outer space?"

"Wouldn't Song Haitang's fire abilities be less effective in outer space?"

"It's hard to comprehend, truly hard to comprehend..."

...

The students discussed the matter animatedly.

The teachers, sensing the situation, immediately realized that Song Haitang's team had caused another sensation.

Ms. Shen approached Song Haitang and asked, "Haitang, did your results come out as well?"

"Yes," Song Haitang nodded, her face calm and composed.

She was used to it!

However, Chen Kai and Wang Fei struggled to contain their excitement and exhilaration.

They repeatedly glanced at Zhao Zheng, their eyes filled with reverence, and Wang Fei even displayed a hint of idolization...

Ms. Shen noticed this and felt slightly perplexed.

It was understandable to be excited about good results, but...shouldn't they idolize Song Haitang? Why were they revering Zhao Zheng?

Ms. Shen's gaze subconsciously shifted towards Zhao Zheng.

Then, she was surprised to find that this student exuded a powerful aura.

Although Zhao Zheng's expression remained calm, his eyes radiated unwavering confidence, as if he looked down upon everything.

Moreover, he emanated an oppressive aura.

Ms. Shen felt as if a super celebrity stood before her.

"Hmm?"

Ms. Shen was filled with doubts.

"Teacher, is something wrong?" Chen Kai asked.

"Oh, nothing," Ms. Shen replied, collecting herself. "It's time to report your results."

"I'll do it!" Chen Kai volunteered.

Ms. Shen nodded and retrieved the mission rewards from Chen Kai's data.

A look of astonishment flashed across her eyes, and then she loudly announced:

"Song Haitang, Zhao Zheng, Chen Kai, and Wang Fei."

"Enemy kills in this Spirit Realm: 1,735,564."

"Composite Score: SSS-rank!"

"Composite Ranking: First Place!"

"Historical Ranking: First Place!"

"Basic Reward: 550 Spirit Points (capped)."

"Additional Reward: 200 Spirit Points (capped, evenly distributed among team members)."

"Eleventh Layer Spirit Realm Perfect Achievement Reward: One Superhuman Treasure Chest (reward goes to the main team members)."

...

Everyone present, including the teachers, envied the rewards Ms. Shen announced.

On average, each team member received six hundred Spirit Points.

This is 600 Spirit Points! Even if an ordinary person were to use it, they would instantly become a 2nd-rank Extraordinary Being.

"Alright, the results are tallied. You must be hungry, let's go for lunch!"

One of the teachers spoke up.

From their sophomore year, the students had a lot of freedom.

They could eat wherever they wanted...

If it weren't for the school's training facilities, the students could even live off-campus without any issues.

As the teachers left, Jiang Hebin and the others quickly gathered around.

"Damn! Old Chen, you hit the jackpot this time!"

"As expected, following Sister Haitang and Brother Zhao is the way to live the good life!"

"You're treating us, you have to treat us!"

The students chattered excitedly.

They were all old acquaintances.

Chen Kai smiled and said, "Alright, I'll treat you all to lunch. The private room on the second floor of the cafeteria, order whatever you like."

Then, he turned to Zhao Zheng, "Brother Zhao, Sister Haitang, can you join us?"

When those people were cheering earlier, they were all surrounding Chen Kai and Wang Fei.

They wouldn't dare to do the same with Song Haitang and Zhao Zheng.

Hearing Chen Kai's invitation, Zhao Zheng smiled and nodded, "Sure, no problem!"

"Then I can come too," Song Haitang said.

Chen Kai chose the school cafeteria for the treat specifically for Song Haitang's convenience.

Otherwise, they would have gone out to eat.

"That's great," Chen Kai said with a smile, then turned to Wang Fei, "Wang Fei, you and your friend don't need to trouble yourselves. We're all familiar, come and join us."

This young man's family wasn't in business, but in terms of financial strength, they were even more affluent than ordinary businessmen. He had no shortage of money.

Even if Chen Kai treated him to meals every day, it wouldn't make a dent in his wealth.

Wang Fei was different.

He came from a very ordinary family.

Hearing Chen Kai's words, Wang Fei immediately smiled.

Then, the group headed to the private room on the second floor of the cafeteria for lunch.

...

After lunch, the group dispersed.

Zhao Zheng returned to his dormitory.

He opened his attribute panel.

Race: Human.

Constitution: 6340

Spirit: 2257

Strength: 6340

Agility: 6340

Talent: Quake Fruit Technique, Kryptonian Heritage [Steel Body 7, Super Strength 7, Super Speed 7, Super Flight 7, Heat Vision 2, Super Vision 1, Bio-Field 1].

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

Supportive Ability: Dimensional Space.

Spirit Points: 1245.

...

Seeing his attribute panel, Zhao Zheng smiled.

After spending three hours in the Eleventh Layer Spirit Realm, his Constitution, Strength, and Agility attributes had each increased by over 1800 points.

Even his Spirit attribute had increased by several hundred! The real sunlight had an incredible effect on the super-body's enhancement.

Of course, this might also be related to his first exposure to real sunlight...

Zhao Zheng sighed.

If only this world had real sunlight too.

On second thought, it might not be a good thing.

If this world had real sunlight from the beginning, the first person to obtain the Kryptonian Heritage would have become a god among men by now, and it wouldn't have been his turn.

Regardless.

Zhao Zheng now understood the value of real sunlight and felt a little underwhelmed by the sunbathing equipment in the room...

Please...collect...6191Book1...!

The only way to obtain real sunlight was to stop the existence that was devouring the sun! Zhao Zheng clenched his fist.

Although he was confident in his current strength, he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could handle such a monster!

There were King-Class Powerhouses in this world, after all.

The fact that so many King-Class Powerhouses were pinning their hopes on Song Haitang was telling.

A King-Class Powerhouse would definitely not be a match for that monster.

In front of such a monster, even a King-Class Powerhouse would be nothing more than a slightly stronger ant.

For Zhao Zheng, his current priority was to play it safe and continue building up his strength.

If he encountered a few more worlds with sunlight in the upcoming Spirit Realms, his strength would definitely take a qualitative leap.

Then, he could go and deal with the source of terror...

...

With this in mind, Zhao Zheng calmed his restless heart and let go of some unrealistic thoughts.

He needed to continue playing it safe!

Currently, he had accumulated 1245 Spirit Points on his attribute panel, just enough to upgrade his Tyrant Color Aura again.

Zhao Zheng didn't hesitate and chose to upgrade immediately!

And so, on his attribute panel, the Tyrant Color Aura's level became "Master."

He was left with only 45 Spirit Points.

Next, to advance his Tyrant Color Aura to the Supernatural level, he would need 2,700 Spirit Points!

The moment Zhao Zheng's Tyrant Color Aura reached the Master level, his aura intensified even further.

And this was with him deliberately suppressing his aura.

Without this restraint, even a blind man could tell that he was extraordinary.

At the Master level, the Tyrant Color Aura could now unleash the Aura Entanglement.

Zhao Zheng was well-versed in this technique, as he had also mastered the Armament Color Domination.

At this moment, Zhao Zheng was eager to test his upgraded Tyrant Color Aura and gauge the extent of his newfound power.

Unfortunately, he could only think about it...

With his current strength, any test would create a huge commotion and might even harm innocent bystanders.

It was simply inappropriate.

The only suitable place for such a test would be the Beyond Realm Battlefield.

But to go there, he would need to apply in advance.

Going directly might lead to misunderstandings...

...

A moment later, with a thought, a Superhuman Treasure Chest appeared before Zhao Zheng.

This chest was a reward for completing the Eleventh Layer Spirit Realm.

It was a reward for the main protagonist.

Obviously, Zhao Zheng was the main protagonist.

"The rewards from the previous ten Spirit Realms' Superhuman Treasure Chests were all delayed until the next realm."

"Starting from the Eleventh Layer, the rewards are given immediately, available to claim at any time!"

"It's truly different now..."

Zhao Zheng muttered to himself as he grabbed the chest and opened it.

Inside, there was a Skill Scroll.

[Discovering Superhuman Skill: Immortal Demon Body!]



[Immortal Demon Body: A capability from the ancient demon race to unleash potential, creating a demonic aura armor around the body upon activation, significantly boosting strength and defense by 70% each for ten minutes.]



[Warning: This skill consumes a vast amount of energy. After the effect ends, the host will enter a weakened state! Use with caution!]



Zhao Zheng was taken aback by the prompt in his left eye.

This skill...

Seemed like the ultimate move of "Kai" in the game King's Glory.

A 70% boost in both defense and strength?

Zhao Zheng's eyes lit up.

This was indeed a significant power boost, even if it only lasted for ten minutes.

With his current strength, wouldn't he be invincible during that time?

However...

The skill's effect lasted only ten minutes, and he would be weakened afterward?

"Isn't this just like overdrawing my energy to temporarily enhance my strength?"

"How severe will this weakness be?"

"Will I be completely immobile, or just feel tired?"

"Can my current constitution withstand such consumption?"

This was a crucial point.

Zhao Zheng needed to find out!

After some thought, he decided to test the skill.

Without hesitation, he tore open the scroll.

Instantly!

"Immortal Demon Body" appeared in his attribute panel, learned.

If the skill had significant drawbacks, he could simply choose not to use it, so learning it wasn't a big deal.

The moment he learned the skill, Zhao Zheng's mind was filled with the memory of how to activate it.

Without hesitation, he chose to unleash it.

Almost as soon as he activated the Immortal Demon Body...

A terrifying aura suddenly enveloped Zhao Zheng.

Black demonic energy surged from his feet, spreading across his body.

As the energy enveloped him, a pure black armor rapidly formed around Zhao Zheng.

The armor was so black it reflected light.

Its design resembled a black dragon, with dragon claws covering the shoulders and black scales adorning the body. The helmet was like a black dragon's head, its sharp teeth framing Zhao Zheng's face, leaving only his eyes visible.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Zheng's appearance had completely transformed.

He looked like a grand general from the demon realm!

"Hmm? This feeling of explosive power..."

Zhao Zheng clenched his fists, feeling the surge of power throughout his body.

The strength was so immense that he dared not move recklessly, fearing he might accidentally topple Zhenwu University...

"My strength has indeed increased significantly, but the energy consumption is astonishing!"

He felt like a balloon being inflated, with a tiny hole on its surface, allowing his energy to rapidly escape...

Zhao Zheng remained calm.

Then, he slowly made his way to a mirror to see his new appearance.
