Chapter 26: The Initial Spirit Realm, An Unknown World

Chapter 26: The Initial Spirit Realm, An Unknown World



Every month, on the 1st.

The Spirit Realm commences.

A global, unified event!

Due to time zone differences, Western countries enter the Spirit Realm in the evening, while Xia Nation does so around 11:11 a.m.

Early morning.

As Zhao Zheng emerged from the sunbathing machine, his attributes had changed once again.

Race: Human.

Constitution: 300

Spirit: 98

Strength: 300

Agility: 300

Talent: Kryptonian Heritage.

Psychic Points: 0

...

Constitution, Strength, and Agility, these three foundational attributes, all reached a perfect 300.

Even his Spirit attribute was close to a hundred!

Among his classmates, none had broken a hundred in total attributes, let alone a single attribute, with the highest being around twenty or thirty.

Zhao Zheng clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within his body, and he was quite satisfied.

He checked the time; it was still early, so he went downstairs to the apartment for breakfast and then returned to play a mobile game for a while.

He dragged his feet until 10:30 a.m. before setting off for school.

When Zhao Zheng arrived at the school playground, almost all the freshmen had gathered.

Fortunately, most of the sun's rays were blocked in this world, with only a faint glow reaching Blue Planet; otherwise, standing on the playground during this season could easily lead to heatstroke!

Not only had the new students arrived, but many teachers as well.

Seeing Zhao Zheng's late arrival, some teachers frowned immediately.

However, Zhao Zheng was thick-skinned and didn't pay much attention.

After all, Old Chu had said before 11 a.m., and it was only 10:59 a.m. now, so he wasn't late.

Upon his arrival, Zhao Zheng scanned the area and noticed that only the new students were present; not a single senior student was in sight.

Apparently, the seniors had a separate venue.

At 11 a.m. sharp, a vice principal arrived.

"Students, you are about to enter the Spirit Realm. This is your first challenge in the Spirit Realm, and on behalf of the school, I wish you victory..."

The vice principal offered words of encouragement to the new students and quickly left.

Then.

The students began to separate into their respective teams.

As Zhao Zheng stood alongside Song Haitang.

Their presence immediately drew the attention of the entire venue.

Although many students were already aware of their team-up, seeing it in person still felt somewhat surreal.

One was the newcomer with the best talent and most impressive attribute growth!

The other was the one with the worst talent...

The best and the worst! These two should have had no connection at all.

Yet, they stood together at this moment?

Not only were the students feeling surreal, but the teachers were also taken aback.

"What's the story with these two students? Are there no other teammates willing to join them?"

"It shouldn't be the case?"

"That girl looks familiar... I remember now, she's Song Haitang, a powerful recruit with the ability of the Burn Fruit."

"Huh? How does such an exceptional student only have one teammate?"

"Quickly, add two more excellent teammates for them!"

"There's no time, they're about to enter the Spirit Realm."

...

The teachers whispered among themselves.

As Old Chu and Ms. Shen listened to their colleagues' discussions, their expressions became complex...

Time quickly approached 11:10 a.m.! The teacher in charge immediately raised their voice and shouted,

"One minute left, everyone get ready!"

Upon hearing this, the students held hands with their teammates.

Entering the Spirit Realm while holding hands would be recognized by the Spirit Realm as teammates, forming an ally pact with shared benefits!

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng also held Song Haitang's hand.

The girl's hand was as white as jade, slender, and soft to the touch.

Don't say anything.

Holding such a beautiful girl's hand was indeed a pleasure.

He couldn't help but turn his head slightly, looking at Song Haitang.

The girl tried to maintain her composure, but the blush rising on her pretty face betrayed her inner thoughts.

A smile appeared on Zhao Zheng's face...

The next moment, the time was up, and all the new students instantly disappeared.

They were forcibly teleported into the Spirit Realm.

...

When the new students were teleported away, the vice-principal stepped forward to investigate.

He first found Ms. Shen and asked, "Ms. Shen, isn't Song Haitang one of your students?"

Ms. Shen nodded helplessly, "Yes."

The vice-principal then asked, "Why does she only have one teammate?"

This question gave Ms. Shen a headache.

"Is the young man who teamed up with Song Haitang also from your class? What talent does he have?" the vice-principal inquired further.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Shen immediately passed the responsibility to Old Chu.

"Principal, you should ask Teacher Chu about that. The student who teamed up with Song Haitang is Teacher Chu's favorite student and also the captain!"

"Oh?"

Hearing that it was a favorite student, the vice-principal's expression improved slightly.

After all, a student considered a favorite must have exceptional talent.

The vice-principal turned to Old Chu and asked, "Teacher Chu, what is the name of this student, and what is his talent ability?"

Old Chu's face looked constipated, and he stammered, "His name is Zhao Zheng, and his talent is... Kryptonian Heritage."

"Kryptonian Heritage?" The vice-principal's voice rose in surprise.

...

A flash of white light passed by.

When Zhao Zheng regained his vision, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.

Here, too, there was no sunlight, and the sky was dark and oppressive.

The place he was in seemed to be a remote wilderness, and apart from the new students who were teleported with him, all that remained were some barren hills.

Only in the distant east, there stood a wall.

Was this the first layer of the Spirit Realm? It didn't seem special at all.

As Zhao Zheng looked around, Song Haitang spoke softly beside him, "You... how long do you plan to hold my hand for?"

"Hmm?"

Zhao Zheng finally realized that he was still holding the girl's hand!

"Hehe, sorry, it feels too good, I didn't react in time," he said, releasing her hand.

Hearing this, Song Haitang's face turned slightly red, probably not expecting Zhao Zheng to say such words...

At that moment, the other new students who were teleported together began to speak.

"This... is the first layer of the Spirit Realm? It looks like a completely different world."

"It's truly amazing."

"Didn't the teacher say that each layer of the Spirit Realm is an independent world?"

"This place looks a bit eerie. I wonder what we'll face next?"

"Why are there so many foreign freshmen?"

...

Among the students teleported together, many were Westerners with blonde hair and blue eyes, as well as black people.

Zhao Zheng knew the reason.

Old Chu had mentioned that the teleports in the Spirit Realm were full of uncertainty.

Apart from fixed teammates, everything else was random.

He looked around at the students who had arrived with him and silently counted about thirty people.

Among these thirty, the only familiar face was Song Haitang!

...
