Chapter 31: Superhuman Item: The Glory of the Mighty Man

Chapter 31: Superhuman Item: The Glory of the Mighty Man

"What?"

At his teammate's reminder, Jiang Hebin turned his head towards the wrestling ring.

There, he saw Peter, the big fatty, clutching his bloodied right hand and wailing in pain.

And standing calmly beside him was Zhao Zheng, the very person everyone had doubted...

What just happened? Did that waste win?

"Damn it! How is this possible?"

"Unbelievable! Did Big Guy Peter actually lose?"

"I think they're cheating! I want my silver coins back!"

"That's right! How could Peter lose to such a weakling? It must be a fixed match."

"It doesn't seem fake. That last hit was no joke; Peter's right hand is probably broken. Maybe he was careless, and that despicable guy managed to land a successful sneak attack."

"There's another possibility. Peter just fought eight consecutive matches; he might be exhausted, and that kid took advantage of his fatigue."

The surrounding spectators, after their initial shock, began to murmur amongst themselves.

Many gamblers outright accused the match of being rigged and demanded their bets back.

Most of the residents believed that Peter, having fought eight consecutive matches, had exhausted himself, allowing this newcomer to seize a significant advantage.

However, the organizers of the event didn't care about these complaints.

The host promptly announced that the annual 'Mighty Man' competition was officially over, and the champion was Zhao Zheng!

Why was the host in such a hurry to declare the winner?

The reason was that there were too many gamblers betting on Peter, and if he won the final victory, the organizers would have to pay out a substantial amount of silver coins!

Now, with Zhao Zheng's surprising victory over Peter, he had inadvertently saved the organizers a significant sum of money.

To be honest, at this moment, the organizers couldn't help but want to hug Zhao Zheng and give him a few hearty kisses.

There was another reason for their urgency—the sky was darkening...

...

Next came the awards ceremony!

The host ignored the protesting residents and proceeded to present Zhao Zheng with the winner's reward.

A bag of silver coins!

A golden wristband!

The bag contained 100 silver coins, enough for Zhao Zheng to rent a tavern and party for three days and nights.

However, what Zhao Zheng valued most was the golden wristband.

"This is your golden wristband, a symbol of your mighty man's glory. Please keep it safe."

The host spoke solemnly and then handed the wristband to Zhao Zheng.

As Zhao Zheng took the wristband, a prompt appeared in his left eye:

[Superhuman Item: Golden Wristband!]



[Category: One-time Item, Cannot be Taken Out of the Spirit Realm.]



[Effect: Strength Amplification +50% when equipped!]



[Acquisition Method: This is the glory of the Mighty Man! Participate in the wrist strength competition and win the championship to obtain it.]



Seeing the prompt, Zhao Zheng was stunned.

Although he had known that some superhuman items existed within the Spirit Realm, he hadn't expected to encounter one so soon.

Strength amplification of 50%?

This item was fantastic!

Unfortunately, it was a one-time-use superhuman item and couldn't be taken out of the Spirit Realm.

It was said that permanent superhuman items were extremely rare and challenging to obtain...

...

When Zhao Zheng returned to Song Haitang's side, he noticed that her classmates were all staring at him strangely.

Even Song Haitang's gaze held a hint of surprise and suspicion...

"What's going on?" Zhao Zheng asked, feigning ignorance. "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Chen Kai was the first to speak up, "Zhao Zheng, I apologize for asking, but what is your strength attribute level?"

Before Zhao Zheng could answer, Song Haitang interrupted, "Zhao Zheng, we don't have time. Let's go!"

Zhao Zheng looked at her in surprise, then smiled.

He originally thought that Song Haitang would definitely question the source of his strength, but he was a little surprised and very satisfied with the girl's performance.

"Alright, let's go!"

The two left together.

Leaving Jiang Hebin and the others still at the scene.

"Hey, what should we do now?" a young man asked.

Jiang Hebin didn't answer.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

He watched Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang's backs, his expression somewhat clenched.

"Chen Kai, what happened earlier?" Jiang Hebin suddenly asked, "How did you lose to that big fatso?"

Chen Kai, who had already lost the competition, was in a bad mood. Hearing the questioning tone, he became even more annoyed.

"What do you mean, what happened? He's stronger than me, isn't it normal that I lost to him?"

"Stronger than you?" Jiang Hebin was very surprised. "How is it possible that he's stronger than you when even that waste Zhao Zheng can win?"

"What do you mean by that? Am I supposed to have let him win on purpose?"

Seeing that the two were getting more and more agitated, the other two teammates quickly stepped in to mediate.

"Hey, just now many people said that the big fatso had fought eight rounds and was already exhausted. I think it makes sense, it's very likely that Zhao Zheng, that kid, saw this and dared to go on stage, then he got a big bargain."

"Yeah! Maybe it's Kai bro who exhausted the last bit of strength from that fatso."

"It's getting late. You guys pay attention, everyone is heading home, it's definitely going to get dark soon."

"Hey, let's hurry and find a place too?"

After being persuaded by the two.

Jiang Hebin and Chen Kai realized they didn't have much time left.

"Let's go to the Manor!"

Jiang Hebin said through gritted teeth.

Now they had no money, and the only option left for them was the Manor.

Unless, they didn't mind occupying civilian residences and risking confrontation with the residents.

Before everything became clear, such behavior would be extremely dangerous.

Unless absolutely necessary, they would definitely not do such a thing.

On the way.

Jiang Hebin suddenly took the initiative to apologize.

"Chen Kai, sorry, my tone was a bit harsh earlier, don't take it to heart."

This guy had a bit of a temper, but he was also flexible and adaptable.

Perhaps he knew that in the dangerous environment of the Spirit Realm, close cooperation between the four of them was far better than superficial unity.

Seeing Jiang Hebin's apology, Chen Kai, of course, wouldn't hold a grudge and immediately said, "Hey, I didn't take it to heart. It's also my fault. I didn't expect that the fatso's strength would be so great."

With these words, the two shook hands and made peace.

Seeing this, the other two teammates were very pleased.

One of them couldn't help but say, "Bro Kai, if we analyze it according to the stat panel, what do you think the fatso's strength attribute is?"

Chen Kai thought about the opponent's final burst of strength and guessed, "About fifty or sixty points."

Everyone was surprised at this.

"Then how did Zhao Zheng win? He's clearly a waste!"

"Don't be fooled by his appearance, that Zhao Zheng kid is not to be underestimated!"

Chen Kai's expression turned serious, "I observed carefully, Zhao Zheng waited for the fatso to exert his strength first, then he exerted his own, and within an instant, he won against the fatso and even broke his bones... This shows that the kid's strength is far beyond the fatso's!"

Seeing everyone's requests for more chapters, the little author has decided to have another extra chapter plan next week. Remember to come, dear readers!
