...

Upon seeing the "Steel Body (Activated)" in the Talent section, Zhao Zheng's face lit up with surprise.

Then, he immediately felt that his body seemed to have changed somehow.

His skin was still soft, but it was full of resilience, even tougher than cowhide.

The muscles beneath felt extremely firm, with clear contours.

As for the innermost bones, although he couldn't test them, Zhao Zheng had a feeling that his bones might be harder than steel...

Zhao Zheng quickly went to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror.

When he saw himself in the mirror, his face instantly showed a surprised expression.

The man in the mirror had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and sharp facial features, making him exceptionally handsome!

Most importantly, his physique had transformed.

In fact, ever since obtaining the Kryptonian Heritage, Zhao Zheng's body had been improving, but today's change was the most significant!

The most noticeable change was in his abs!

Previously, he had four-pack abs, but now they had directly become six-pack.

His chest and biceps also displayed distinct outlines.

It wasn't as exaggerated as a European or American, but it looked really good.

Even his height seemed to have increased a bit, now reaching an estimated 1.85 meters.

To say it without exaggeration, the current Zhao Zheng could at least be a champion-level contender in a modeling contest.

If he went to work as a young master in a nightclub, he would definitely make those rich ladies scream with excitement...

His figure was just too perfect!

...

"Perfect!!!"

Looking at himself in the mirror, Zhao Zheng showed an extremely satisfied smile.

"No wonder it's called the Dachao Constitution! This is too awesome... After activating the super flight ability, I'll get myself a tight suit, put on a cape, and then stand in mid-air, pretending to be a 'God Among Men'!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh out loud!

Suddenly, he thought of Song Haitang.

Originally, the Kryptonian Heritage card belonged to Song Haitang.

If he hadn't exchanged it with the Burn Burn Fruit, allowing Song Haitang to become a female Superman and wear a tight suit... With her looks and figure, it would probably feel great, right?

He could try convincing her later...

Glancing at the time, he realized it was getting late.

Today's lesson was important, as Teacher Chu was going to talk about the information in the second layer of the Spirit Realm, so he couldn't afford to be late or absent.

Zhao Zheng quickly freshened up, put on a casual outfit, and hurried out.

He went downstairs and headed to his usual steamed bun shop.

"Boss Lady, give me ten meat buns to go, please."

As his strength increased, his appetite had been growing daily, and now he could eat a lot.

This was still considered reasonable for him.

After all, he could sunbathe daily to replenish his energy.

Those with strong constitutions and powerful strength among the superhumans were all big eaters.

"Sure!"

The boss lady picked up the buns while constantly glancing at Zhao Zheng.

She felt that this young man was becoming more and more handsome, especially attractive today, and his figure... was just so appealing!

If her husband wasn't by her side, she would have wanted to give Zhao Zheng a free meal!

And maybe add him on WeChat while she was at it.

"Here, your buns!"

Zhao Zheng took the buns, scanned the code, and paid as he walked and ate.

Even after he left, the boss lady kept staring at his figure.

To be precise, her gaze was fixed on Zhao Zheng's buttocks...

"Looking good, huh?"

Suddenly, the boss's voice echoed beside her, startling her.

"What the heck? You scared me!"

"Are you done with your work?

The buns are all sold out, and the boss sighs, reluctantly going to knead the dough...

...

As Zhao Zheng walks, he can't help but notice that he attracts attention everywhere he goes, especially from the girls. Some glance at him shyly, while others stare boldly. There are even female delinquents who whistle at him.

Just as the online comments predicted, it's crucial for a guy to protect himself when he's out and about. Zhao Zheng now fully understands the frustrations of "Henry Cavill."

When he arrives at school, his classmates can't help but stare at him as well. The student sitting next to him can't resist asking, "Old Zhao, you never attend training sessions. Have you been secretly working out at the gym to build that body of yours?"

Another classmate speaks up, "Zhao Zheng, how did you get such a physique?"

Before Zhao Zheng can respond, a voice with a peculiar tone chimes in, "Now I understand why Song Haitang is so determined to take you to the Spirit Realm."

This statement clearly implies that Zhao Zheng is a freeloader who relies on women.

Zhao Zheng smiles faintly and replies, "Not convinced? You can try it too! Oh...but you're too ugly to attempt that."

He's mocking him for being a freeloader? Zhao Zheng can only think of one response—thank you for acknowledging his good looks!

Hearing Zhao Zheng's words, the peculiar-voiced classmate becomes visibly angry. After all, his appearance is indeed a cause for concern.

Zhao Zheng's words are like a stab to his heart...

"Ding-a-ling-a-ling!"

At that moment, the class bell rings.

Old Chu walks into the classroom right on time, carrying a laptop and a projector.

"Is everyone here?" he asks, scanning the room. Seeing that no one is absent, he continues, "Then let's begin the class!"

"In ten days, you will enter the second layer of the Spirit Realm."

"There's not much knowledge to cover about the second layer of the Spirit Realm. It mainly depends on your strength..."

"The setting of the second layer of the Spirit Realm is similar to ancient China, but it's in ruins, and the only signs of life are monsters!"

As Old Chu speaks, he turns on the projector and projects several photos onto the blackboard.

The photos depict ancient towns and villages, all with a distinct summer country style.

"You're also not allowed to bring items into the second layer of the Spirit Realm. These photos were drawn by those who can paint, based on their memories."

"The teleportation location is random, usually appearing in towns."

"After entering the Spirit Realm, it will be dusk, and in about half an hour, it will turn dark."

"As soon as it gets dark, monsters will appear."

"So, within that half-hour window, before it gets dark, you should find a suitable weapon and a hiding place!"

"For weapons, I suggest you look in blacksmith shops or the homes of wealthy families."

"Regarding the monsters in the second layer of the Spirit Realm, we'll discuss that later. What you should be most cautious of in the Spirit Realm is other people!"

"By people, I mean your peers, other Extraordinary Beings!"

"Because the second layer of the Spirit Realm is also known as the Plundering Spirit Realm!"

(PS: In the movie, Superman gradually activates his abilities, like flight, and only masters them later. This book won't take that long to grant such powers...please don't criticize me for holding back the protagonist.)
