Chapter 224: The Strongest Man! Whitebeard in His Prime

Chapter 224: The Strongest Man! Whitebeard in His Prime

"Now, let's discuss the detailed plan!"

"Gentlemen, you need to gather all the Extraordinary Beings in your territories who can enter the 15th Spiritual Realm. Then, use incentives to motivate them to enter the Spirit Realm next month and surround the target for the kill!" someone suggested.

This proposal was met with agreement, as it was a logical course of action.

The man in black continued, "Before entering the Spirit Realm, you can send them to me first. I will summon a True God and bestow upon them divine water to grant temporary resistance."

At this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Each person in the room was a prominent figure, and they all had several Extraordinary Beings under their command.

One person immediately asked, "May I ask, what kind of resistance can the divine water granted by the True God provide?"

The man in black understood their thoughts and calmly replied, "What? Do you want to try it too? The divine water can temporarily enhance physical strength and defense for a few days. However, after the effect wears off, it may affect their innate abilities and reduce the gains from regular training."

This statement quickly dispelled everyone's idea.

Sacrificing their innate abilities for a temporary boost in resistance was foolish.

"This plan might not be enough to kill Song!" another person spoke up. "If Song currently has 7,000 points in Spirit Attribute, her overall strength would likely reach the sixth rank. Among Extraordinary Beings of the same level, she would be an undisputed ruler. Even with our extensive preparations, we might not be able to kill her."

This was indeed a fact.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

After a moment, a middle-aged man with a military demeanor offered a suggestion, "We can ask them to devise a battle plan, such as a surprise attack or a coordinated assault after a signal is given."

The group nodded slightly.

Although simple, this plan seemed feasible and was better than having no plan at all.

Another person added, "In the 15th layer of the Spiritual Realm, there's a material called Mirage Stone that can specifically counter Devil Fruit users. It can also be used against the target!"

"That's a good idea, but it's still not enough!" The elder in the main seat spoke up. "I need a plan with a higher success rate!"

The group fell silent again.

Then, the black woman who had spoken earlier interjected, "Gentlemen, I have a plan!"

"In the original Summit War, the reason Whitebeard Pirates lost was solely because Whitebeard was too old and plagued by illness. His formidable power couldn't be fully unleashed."

"If Whitebeard had his prime fighting strength, would he still lose?"

"He was hailed as the strongest man in that world, possessing the power to destroy it!"

"I know of an Extraordinary Being who possesses a drug that can unlock one's potential. It can restore a person to their peak condition for a short period, and the effect lasts for half an hour."

"With this half-hour boost, I believe Whitebeard's true strength would be enough to annihilate the entire Navy Headquarters!"

These words caught everyone's attention.

As the black man paused, someone interrupted, "Excuse me for interrupting, Ms. Gabre, but is your plan to restore Whitebeard to his prime and then kill everyone on the battlefield?"

"I don't think your plan will work. According to my information, Whitebeard is not someone who kills indiscriminately."

"Whitebeard indeed does not kill without reason!" The black woman smiled. "However, on such a battlefield, he won't show mercy to his enemies. We just need to ensure the target joins the Navy."

"Under Whitebeard's suppression, even if the target isn't killed, they will be at a significant disadvantage. At that point, our forces can pursue and kill her, greatly increasing our chances of success!"

After hearing this, many people in the conference room had a sudden realization.

Someone immediately asked, "How can we ensure the target chooses the Navy when selecting a side? What if she decides to join the Whitebeard Pirates? How can we guarantee she'll be on our side?"

This was indeed the most critical part of the plan.

Fortunately, the black woman had anticipated this.

"We'll activate our inside sources and collaborate with the major colleges in the Flame Nation. We'll demand that the students unite and join the Navy, appealing to their sense of patriotism and discouraging them from fighting against their fellow countrymen."

The black woman's smile turned sinister. "Even if Song Haitang originally intended to join the pirate camp, she'll have no choice but to change her mind under the weight of righteousness."

"And if the Navy suffers a defeat, it will effectively suppress the new generation of Extraordinary Beings in the Flame Nation!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

As they carefully considered the plan, they felt increasingly confident in its high success rate.

"Clap! Clap!"

Many people applauded.

"Ms. Gabrielle, you're truly a genius!"

...

A few days later.

Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang were discussing the 15th Spiritual Realm with Chen Kai and Wang Fei.

"Zhao Ge, once we enter the Spiritual Realm, which side should we choose?" Wang Fei asked.

Zhao Zheng smiled and retorted, "What do you think?"

"I'll follow your lead, Zhao Ge."

This kid seemed to have received some guidance and had become much smarter recently.

In the past, he would have immediately voiced his own thoughts.

Zhao Zheng pondered for a moment before saying, "Personally, I'm inclined to join the Whitebeard Pirates."

With his current strength, it didn't really matter which side he joined.

However, in the original Summit War, both Whitebeard and Ace died, and the Quake-Quake Fruit ended up in Blackbeard's hands... These were all matters that left fans of the series with lingering regrets.

Zhao Zheng wasn't exactly a fan, but given the chance, he wouldn't mind changing the outcome of the battle.

"Great!"

Upon hearing Zhao Zheng's choice, Wang Fei immediately smiled, "I also lean towards the Whitebeard Pirates. Compared to the Navy, those pirates have more human warmth."

Chen Kai and Song Haitang remained silent.

They completely followed Zhao Zheng's lead.

Zhao Zheng continued, "After entering the Spiritual Realm, your task is to assist Haitang and prevent any surprise attacks on her. I believe that in this Spiritual Realm, there will be many who target Haitang!"

Indeed, this Spiritual Realm was a rare opportunity to assassinate Song Haitang.

Because all the Extraordinary Beings who entered the Spiritual Realm would eventually converge on the same battlefield!

Upon hearing Zhao Zheng's words, Chen Kai and Wang Fei nodded repeatedly.

As for Song Haitang, before she could use her elemental transformation, she wouldn't take any unnecessary risks and would follow Zhao Zheng's instructions.

"Don't worry, you won't have to worry about being surrounded by enemies. I don't plan on sending you into battle at all!"

At these words, Chen Kai and Wang Fei were taken aback.

"We're not going into battle?" Wang Fei couldn't help but ask.

"That's right!" Zhao Zheng replied, "That battlefield is too dangerous. Just find a place to hide, and if there's any danger, send a signal, and I'll come to your aid immediately."

"As for the required contribution points for the mission, leave it to me!"

The Naval Headquarters was no match for his mighty punch! Hearing Zhao Zheng's arrangement, Wang Fei and Chen Kai exchanged glances.

This arrangement was actually beneficial for them, as it kept them out of harm's way.

However!

They felt a little embarrassed to just sit back and reap the rewards without exerting any effort...

Song Haitang seemed to understand their thoughts and said calmly, "Just follow his instructions and don't try to help. If we really get to the battlefield, we'll only be a burden to him!"

Chen Kai and Wang Fei: "..."

Sister Haitang, that hurt! But after careful consideration, Song Haitang's words were indeed true.

In such a battlefield, they would struggle to protect themselves, let alone be of any help.

"That's the plan!"

Zhao Zheng added, "Regarding this plan, don't disclose it to anyone."

Hearing this, the two quickly assured him that they would not utter a word about it to anyone else.

Suddenly, Chen Kai reminded him, "Zhao Ge, if you still want to achieve the Overgod evaluation in this mission, your strength might be exposed since everyone will be on the same battlefield..."

"It doesn't matter!" Zhao Zheng smiled, "It's bound to be exposed eventually, so it's no big deal."

After a brief chat, they were about to disperse.

Unexpectedly, they all simultaneously received a notification to head to the meeting room!

...

As Zhao Zheng and the others entered the student meeting room, they noticed that there weren't many students inside.

This was because the 15th Spiritual Realm was considered somewhat dangerous, and most students preferred to wait a while before entering.

Only Zhao Zheng's group and two other teams had decided to go.

Please...You...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)



A total of just twelve people!

Not long after, Ms. Shen and Old Chu also entered the meeting room.

They exchanged glances, and finally, Ms. Shen began to explain the situation.

"We called you here because the school just received a notice from the Ministry of Education."

Ms. Shen said, "Someone suggested that all domestic Extraordinary Beings capable of entering the 15th layer should choose the Navy's side in the upcoming Spiritual Realm, forming a united front to prevent domestic compatriots from killing each other."

The students were surprised upon hearing this.

One of them asked, "Ms. Shen, whose idea was this?"

"I'm not sure who specifically," Ms. Shen replied, "But the Ministry of Education found it reasonable, so they accepted the suggestion."

"Of course, this isn't mandatory. If you have any objections, you can voice them now, and I'll report them."

Of course not!

Who would dare object to such a patriotic decision?

Seeing no one speaking up, Ms. Shen continued, "This idea will also benefit you. There is strength in numbers, and with fellow countrymen around, it'll be safer for all of you."

The group remained silent.

It made sense.

However...

The previously prepared strategy might need adjustments.

"If there are no other questions," Ms. Shen said, "then we're dismissed!"

Everyone started to leave.

But Song Haitang was asked to stay by Ms. Shen.

Once they were alone in the conference room, Ms. Shen spoke, "Haitang, the reason the Ministry of Education adopted this idea is also because of you."

"Because of me?"

"Yes!"

"We received word from above that the Pacific side seems to be preparing for something big. Many eligible Extraordinary Beings capable of entering the 15th Spiritual Realm have gathered, and it's likely aimed at you!"

"Although you're unmatched among your peers, it's hard to fight against a group. This Spiritual Realm is still too dangerous for you."

Hearing this news, Song Haitang remained calm.

She asked, "Then why the Navy instead of the Pirates?"

"The Navy is easier to join, and their order is clearer. Compared to the chaotic environment of the Pirates, it's safer."

"I understand," Song Haitang said calmly.

Ms. Shen tried to persuade her again, "Haitang, the best solution is to cancel next month's plan. If you can delay for a month, it will disrupt the foreigners' plans, and everyone won't need to choose the Navy."

Song Haitang shook her head, "Teacher, I understand your concerns, but please don't worry about me. I'm safer than anyone!"

Ms. Shen was perplexed by her response.

Song Haitang didn't elaborate and bid farewell.

...

Outside the conference room, Wang Fei, Chen Kai, and Zhao Zheng gathered.

"Why suddenly ask everyone to choose the Navy? This messes up our plans," Wang Fei complained, then asked, "Zhao, what should we do?"

Zhao Zheng thought for a moment, "It's fine. The Navy is fine. For us, any faction is the same."

He wasn't boasting.

With his strength, joining any faction would be like adding wings to a tiger.

As for the matters of the heart... Zhao Zheng also had his ways to avoid them.

Chen Kai seemed well-informed, "I heard that the foreigners have been making moves. Many Extraordinary Beings capable of entering the 15th Spiritual Realm have been summoned, probably targeting Sister Haitang..."

As he spoke, Chen Kai glanced at Zhao Zheng.

Those foolish foreigners were still desperately trying to suppress Song Haitang, unaware that the real powerhouse was Zhao Zheng, who had already risen quietly.

"I guess this sudden plan from above is also for Sister Haitang's safety," Wang Fei realized.

Zhao Zheng just smiled.

If the foreigners were planning to send a large force to target Song Haitang in the 15th Spiritual Realm, they were in for a surprise...

...

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, it was October 1st.

Early morning.

Zhao Zheng woke up and checked his attribute panel:

Race: Human.

Constitution: 7270

Spirit: 2567

Strength: 7270

Agility: 7270

Talent: Quake Fruit Technique, Kryptonian Heritage [Steel Body ⑨, Super Strength ⑨, Super Speed ⑨, Super Flight ⑨, Heat Vision ②, Super Vision ①, Bio-Field ①].

Skills: Bone Fist Impact, Armored Color Domination (Supernatural), Divine Descent, Extraordinary Sense, Tyrant Color Aura (Master), Immortal Demon Body.

Supportive Ability: Dimensional Space.

Spirit Points: 1845.

...

Compared to a few months ago, Zhao Zheng's strength had increased significantly.

Especially his Steel Body, Super Strength, Super Speed, and Super Flight... all had reached the ninth level.

This meant his true attributes would multiply ninefold!

In simple terms, his current strength attribute exceeded 65,000! A single punch could stop even a deity.

And this was without considering the boost from Armored Color Domination...

It was truly terrifying!

His 1800 Spirit Points were earned through consecutive Overgod achievements in the 12th, 13th, and 14th Spiritual Realms.
