Chapter 56: Treating Song Haitang as Prey!

Chapter 56: Treating Song Haitang as Prey!



Zhao Zheng wasn't a fool. He knew there were certain things he must never say, and some truths he should never acknowledge!

"Haitang, you're wrong about this!" Zhao Zheng's expression turned serious as he said earnestly, "How can you doubt my sincerity towards you?"

"The Kryptonian Bloodline was recognized as a useless Talent Ability long ago. How could I have known about it in advance? I just thought that since the Kryptonian heritage is so rare, there must be something extraordinary about it. So, I wanted to give it a try and see if I could uncover its secrets."

"And I actually did discover something..."

Upon hearing Zhao Zheng's words, Song Haitang immediately lifted her head, her eyes sparkling with renewed brightness.

Then, the girl smiled like a blooming flower, "Okay, I understand."

Huh? Was that it? Zhao Zheng was a bit taken aback.

In reality, women sometimes just need a certain attitude.

In Song Haitang's eyes, even if Zhao Zheng was lying to her, it at least showed that she held a significant place in his heart, and he didn't want to disappoint her, which was why he would deceive her...

That was enough! Not to mention, Zhao Zheng's words made perfect sense.

The Kryptonian Bloodline had indeed been acknowledged as a useless Talent, not only lacking any Talent Ability but also failing to increase attributes upon leveling up.

Unless Zhao Zheng possessed the ability to foresee the future!

Otherwise, no sane person would exchange the Burn Burn Fruit for it...

"Zhao Zheng, let's go! Let's find a base camp." Song Haitang said.

"Umm..." Zhao Zheng hesitated before asking, "Haitang, aren't you curious about how I discovered the secret of the Kryptonian Bloodline?"

Song Haitang shook her head, "Your discovery of the Kryptonian Bloodline's secret is your own skill and luck. It shows that this Talent Ability is meant for you, and only you can bring out its true potential..."

After a brief pause, the girl suddenly revealed a smile, "Zhao Zheng, I'm really happy right now!"

"Happy about what?" Zhao Zheng asked curiously.

Song Haitang merely smiled without explaining why she was so cheerful.

Her smile was truly captivating, like a fairy from a painting.

The originally gloomy and cold ancient city seemed to warm up a little because of her smile.

Zhao Zheng was left a bit dazed by her beauty.

After a moment's thought, Zhao Zheng could vaguely guess what was on Song Haitang's mind.

Previously, Song Haitang had taken his Burn Burn Fruit, and she had felt guilty about it ever since. That was why she insisted on bringing him to Zhenwu University and forming a team to enter the Spirit Realm with him.

Now, discovering that Zhao Zheng was also strong, Song Haitang's guilt likely faded significantly.

Of course, these were just Zhao Zheng's speculations.

In reality, Song Haitang's happiness went far beyond that...

"Wait, Haitang!" Zhao Zheng said, "Let me open the Superhuman Chest first and see what's inside!"

...

Meanwhile, not far from Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang, another team was also on their way to establish a base camp.

"Wasn't that duo, the one with a man and a woman, the same pair who achieved the SSS-Rank Task Evaluation last time?" someone in the team asked.

It wasn't that this person had an exceptional memory.

The terrifying performance of Song Haitang and Zhao Zheng had already shocked the entire world!

Song Haitang's photos were circulating among various colleges.

Furthermore, teachers from different Superhuman academies would caution their freshmen that if they encountered Song Haitang in the Spirit Realm, they should be extra cautious.

She was not only a Burn Burn Fruit Ability user but had also achieved an SSS-Rank Task Evaluation in the first layer of the Spirit Realm, laying an excellent foundation. The reward of 350 Spirit Energy Points was enough to set her apart from other freshmen.

What? You mean her partner, Zhao Zheng?

That guy's just a good-for-nothing with a talent for being a kept man. Nothing to worry about there.

Not just the newcomers, but even many renowned superhumans have heard of Song Haitang's name. After all, she holds an unprecedented and terrifying record.

"That's them!"

"I remember their names. The woman is Song Haitang, a Natural System Burn Burn Fruit User, and a potential powerhouse. As for that kept man, he's just a useless talent, no need to worry about him."

"I can't believe they dared to enter the Plunder Spirit Realm as a duo."

"It seems Song Haitang is pretty confident in her abilities."

"Hmph, I think that woman got lucky and broke a record, and now she's gotten too big for her britches. Just wait and see, she won't be leaving the Spirit Realm alive this time!"

"Indeed, there were many ill-intentioned folks eyeing Song Haitang and her kept man, probably seeing them as prey..."

69shu.bar

"No way, Song Haitang is a powerhouse among newcomers, even holding the title of 'Newcomer Number One'. Who would dare to mess with her?"

"Hehe, if she had brought in some formidable teammates, no one would dare to provoke her. But her partner is a useless kept man. Who's afraid of just her?"

"What a foolish woman, wasting such good talent and potential."

"Yeah, Song Haitang could have become a ruler in the Spirit Realm..."

...

Similar conversations echoed among the various groups.

At this moment, out of the hundreds of superhumans in the desolate ancient city, almost everyone was discussing Song Haitang.

Even more so, there were quite a few malicious thoughts among them...

For instance, in the team of the celebrity "Tom Hades," who Song Haitang had just mentioned, they were discussing her with ill intent.

"I heard that many congressmen consider Song a potential threat. Once she grows up, she might change the current situation... Guys, if we can kill her here, will those big shots reward us when we get back?"

The one speaking was a well-built black youth.

His words piqued the interest of several teammates around him.

"That woman is formidable. It won't be easy to take her down."

"We can let her go hunt monsters first. Once she's worn out, we'll finish her off."

"There are probably many teams targeting her already. We can wait for them to thin each other out, then clean up the mess."

"Good idea!"

"I have one request. Don't kill that woman just yet. I want to taste her, hope she can satisfy me!"

"Hehe, Quinn, you're one twisted dude. Not many women can satisfy you."

"What do you think, Tom?"

With the last sentence, the three of them looked at their team leader, Tom Hades.

Tom Hades had remained silent throughout their conversation.

Finally, he spoke up, "Let's give it a shot!"

...

Zhao Zheng opened the superhuman chest.

When he saw the items inside, his face showed surprise.
