Chapter 241: Video Evidence of a Shocking Revelation

Chapter 241: Video Evidence of a Shocking Revelation

It all began with online rumors claiming that Zhao Zheng was a King-tier powerhouse, a member of the same group of Extraordinary Beings who had entered the Spirit Realm.

These individuals had witnessed Zhao Zheng's strength firsthand and discovered his great secret. They couldn't wait to share their findings with other netizens.

However, no matter how they tried to convince others, no one believed them!

Indeed, this matter was hard to fathom.

In everyone's impression, Zhao Zheng was merely a gigolo, a man who relied on women and lived off their wealth...

"Are you guys just making things up? Can't you find someone else to talk about? Zhao Zheng? Without Song Haitang backing him up, he's nothing! King-tier? Who would believe that?"

The words of this netizen represented the thoughts of most people.

Even those who had previously praised Zhao Zheng's "intelligence" for a while couldn't change others' impressions of him.

Now, claiming that Zhao Zheng was the real deal was like asking everyone to overturn their existing views, so naturally, no one believed it.

However, it did make those Extraordinary Beings who had emerged from the fifteenth layer of the Spirit Realm anxious!

But then, a turning point emerged.

One Extraordinary Being, who seemed to have had enough, finally stepped forward!

"Hello everyone, I'm also one of the Extraordinary Beings who returned from the fifteenth layer of the Spirit Realm. I can testify that everything said by those who came back with me is true."

"Zhao Zheng's strength is indeed earth-shattering!"

"He single-handedly defeated Whitebeard at his peak and forced the entire Whitebeard Pirates to surrender!"

"I know that words alone may not be convincing, so I plan to show you a video!"

"Many of you may be wondering where this video came from. Let me tell you that I have a high-tech recording device, a gift from my elders. When the war began, I turned on the recorder..."

"Enough talk, let's watch the video!"

"I hope Zhao Zheng won't be angry with me after seeing this..."

Below this text was a video.

The video indeed recorded the Summit War, and the clarity was exceptionally high! After watching it, many netizens were left speechless in shock.

"What the hell? Is this real or fake? Are you sure it's not a composite?"

"As a video editor with over twenty years of experience, I can confidently tell you that this video shows no signs of editing or compositing..."

"This is terrifying! It's mind-blowing!"

"Is this the legendary Whitebeard? He's indeed frighteningly strong, but Zhao Zheng is even more so!"

"No wonder he dared to ask for the Quake Fruit. With such power, it's understandable."

"Damn, even after watching the video, I still can't quite believe that Zhao Zheng has such formidable strength?"

"Agree with the above comment! It's mind-blowing..."

...

At that moment, Ms. Shen was in her office, watching the video.

From the beginning, something seemed amiss.

While other Extraordinary Beings stood in the square in front of the headquarters building, Zhao Zheng, wearing a "Justice" coat of a high-ranking officer, was seated in the position of a Navy Fleet Admiral.

Next, Sengoku revealed the true identity of Fire Fist Ace...

This part followed the standard procedure.

Ms. Shen recalled that when she was in the fifteenth layer of the Spirit Realm, it was the same.

Then, the Whitebeard Pirates attacked! Whitebeard unleashed his Seismic Power, summoning a massive tsunami! Seeing the tsunami in the video, Ms. Shen's past memories flooded her mind.

She vividly remembered how terrified and desperate she had felt when witnessing such a tsunami. Fortunately, on the Navy Headquarters side, there was Admiral Kaname Tengen, who froze the tsunami, right?

Wait!

Admiral Kaname Tengen?

Ms. Shen quickly searched for him in the video and noticed that Zhao Zheng was seated in Admiral Kaname Tengen's position, while the admiral himself was nowhere to be found, seemingly absent from this war.

She was a bit surprised.

Without Admiral Kaname Tengen, who would stop such a tsunami?

Just as she thought this, the video showed Zhao Zheng standing up from his seat, flying into the air, and mimicking Whitebeard's actions.

The next moment!

"Crack!"

The sky seemed to shatter under Zhao Zheng's attack!

The void fractured.

The massive tsunami shattered along with it.

Even the wide-range Seismic Power caused by Whitebeard was halted by Zhao Zheng.

Ms. Shen's eyes widened in astonishment!

The subsequent war left her in continuous awe.

After successfully stopping the tsunami, Zhao Zheng stood at the forefront, facing the Whitebeard Pirates alone, releasing a formidable Tyrant Color Aura that instantly knocked out most of the pirates.

In Ms. Shen's eyes, Zhao Zheng was like a deity at this moment!

Then, the terrifying Phoenix Marco arrived, his might astonishing.

Ms. Shen knew how formidable Marco could be. In the Summit War she had experienced, Marco had kicked the Yellow Monkey Admiral, and even fought the Seiryu Admiral, Kaname Tengen, with equal ferocity.

Furthermore, the principal of Zhenwu University possessed the Phoenix Fruit ability as his innate talent.

However, the next scene once again shocked Ms. Shen beyond words.

Marco's intimidating kick landed on Zhao Zheng, but to her surprise, Zhao Zheng didn't even budge an inch. Instead, he critiqued Marco, saying his strength was too weak...

Good heavens!

Even a powerhouse like Marco couldn't faze Zhao Zheng?

At this point, Ms. Shen believed what Jiang Hebin and the others had said...

The subsequent war unfolded in a way that completely exceeded Ms. Shen's expectations.

Whitebeard, known as the "World's Strongest," had started taking some kind of drug. After consuming it, his strength skyrocketed as if he had taken a performance-enhancing stimulant. Ms. Shen, an experienced Extraordinary Being herself, immediately recognized that Whitebeard had taken an extraordinary drug to unleash his latent potential.

The 15th layer of the Spirit Realm didn't possess such a substance.

Therefore, it must have been brought by an Extraordinary Being.

After taking the drug, Whitebeard's strength reached an unprecedented and terrifying level, unlike anything Ms. Shen had ever witnessed.

Even in the Summit War she experienced, the aged Whitebeard was formidable and monstrous.

She had nearly fallen into the fractured ground created by the aged Whitebeard's attacks.

Subsequently, the prime Whitebeard unleashed his powerful Tyrant Color Aura, and it was on par with Zhao Zheng's!

The clash of their auras resembled two colossal planets grappling in the sky above the Naval Headquarters, a truly frightening sight.

Whitebeard charged forward, exuding an unmatched momentum, and swung his blade downward!

Witnessing this strike, Ms. Shen wondered if it could split the entire Marineford Island in half if left unchecked.

Facing Whitebeard's earth-shattering attack, Zhao Zheng in the video showed no signs of retreat, only clenching his fist.

His fist emitted a dazzling crimson glow.

The next moment, Zhao Zheng unleashed a punch, and the world-destroying energy collided with Whitebeard's descending blade.

The scene was beyond astonishing!

Their clash even created a black hole phenomenon. Ms. Shen's eyes widened in disbelief, unable to fathom that the figure blocking Whitebeard in the video was none other than Zhao Zheng...

From that moment on, her expression of astonishment never faded.

It wasn't until Zhao Zheng took Whitebeard away that the battle on the battlefield returned to normalcy, now devoid of the two monstrously powerful fighters.

Despite the best efforts of Marco's group, they were effortlessly suppressed by the strong individuals on the Navy's side.

The video's uploader effortlessly collected a few kills along the way without breaking a sweat...

About twenty minutes later, Zhao Zheng suddenly returned with Whitebeard.

However, Whitebeard's state had changed again.

The previous terrifying aura had completely vanished, replaced by an old man who looked utterly exhausted.

After saying a few words, Whitebeard passed away.

Then, the Whitebeard Pirates surrendered, but Admiral Kazama refused, insisting on annihilation.

Zhao Zheng immediately reprimanded Admiral Kazama, asking if he was itching for a fight...

To be honest, in Ms. Shen's eyes, Admiral Kazama was a top-tier figure, exuding an aura no less intimidating than the elite of the Blue Star.

If she were to face Admiral Kazama again, Ms. Shen would likely still feel nervous.

But Zhao Zheng's reprimand of Admiral Kazama was like scolding a dog...

Witnessing this, Ms. Shen was utterly shocked.

Recalling how she had looked down on Zhao Zheng multiple times, she felt ashamed.

...

Not a single mistake was made in the video.

At this very moment, it wasn't just Ms. Shen who felt ashamed.

Everyone who had harbored biases against Zhao Zheng was now unable to believe their eyes after watching the video.

The video ended there.

Apparently, the Extraordinary Being who uploaded the video knew their limits and didn't post the part where Zhao Zheng ordered the execution of foreign Extraordinary Beings.

As soon as the video was released, it instantly went viral across the entire network, simultaneously pushing related topics to the top of the trending charts.

The internet was abuzz with discussions, and it seemed like the entire online community was talking about Zhao Zheng's strength.

Even before 4 pm, the topic of Zhao Zheng's power had already skyrocketed to the top of the trending charts, with a heat index ten times that of the second-place topic!

The news even spread abroad...

At this very moment, the forces behind the plan to target Song Haitang with a sniping operation witnessed this video.

They were all shocked beyond words.

Especially the female priest of a certain cult, who was almost scared out of her wits.

"We've been deceived. The false god spoken of in the divine oracle is not Song, but that damnable fellow..."

Immediately after, these individuals swiftly gathered, even at the late hour of the night, rushing to convene an urgent meeting.

The birth of a new King-tier was already a significant event.

Moreover, they had completely offended this King-tier powerhouse...

In any case, the situation was now in complete disarray.

Upon receiving the news, all the factions made critical decisions.

While the foreign decisions were unknown, the domestic decision was straightforward: they regarded Zhao Zheng as the new hope! This treatment was initially intended for Song Haitang.

Now that Zhao Zheng's secret was exposed, the higher-ups were thrilled! For Song Haitang, there was only hope that she could reach the legendary God-tier, but for Zhao Zheng, it was almost certain that he would become a God-tier powerhouse in the future! And he had only reached the fifteenth level of the Spirit Realm!

With such strength at this level.

What would happen if they gave Zhao Zheng a few more years?

Just as the higher-ups were excited, a bucket of cold water was poured over them.

And the one pouring cold water was none other than President Song!

President Song first went to the General Assembly and caused a stir, quickly drawing their attention. Then, the message was pushed further up the chain of command until it reached the core of the Imperial Capital.

The higher-ups were shaken to their core!

Soon, a massive investigation team was established to specifically probe the 'mole' incident.

The influential figure who had initially suggested that all Extraordinary Beings in the country join the Naval Camp was swiftly brought under control, and several leaders from the Ministry of Education who had adopted this proposal were implicated and taken away for questioning...

Regarding the formation of the investigation team, President Song informed Zhao Zheng.

The team leader even specifically requested to meet with Zhao Zheng, but he declined.

As for how the team conducted their investigation,

Zhao Zheng neither knew nor cared.

He only awaited the final outcome.

If the result displeased him, this matter would not end there!

At this moment, Zhao Zheng was on the phone with Song Haitang...

"Zhao Zheng, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I can Elementalize now."

"Really?"

"Yes! After adding the rewards I received from reaching the fifteenth level of the Spirit Realm to my spiritual attributes, I immediately felt the changes. Then, I went to the training hall to test it out, and indeed, I could Elementalize."

Zhao Zheng's eyes lit up.

He had been waiting for this moment, for the girl to gain the ability to Elementalize, for a long time.

"Congratulations, Haitang! You've finally joined the ranks of the truly powerful."

"Thank you, Zhao Zheng!"

"What's there to be formal about between us? By the way, Haitang, where are you now?"

"Just got back to the dorm."

"Wait for me, I'll be right there. I want to see your Elementalized body..."
