Chapter 6: Su Mengyao and the Burn Burn Fruit

Su Mengyao's expression softened as she heard Chen Hang's words, and she said, "I'm a bit of a coward. Pursuing the Extraordinary Path is too dangerous, and I'd rather not go... So, I'll leave this important task to you. Once you become an Extraordinary Powerhouse, you can pull me up and grant me a lifetime of wealth, and I'll be content."

Upon hearing this, Song Haitang looked deeply into Zhao Zheng's eyes.

In the end, she chose to accept.

She understood that Zhao Zheng was right; this was her only chance! If she missed out on the Burn Burn Fruit, she would live her life with regrets.

"Zhao Zheng, I agree! After I kill that monster, no matter what you ask of me, I will fulfill it..."

Song Haitang spoke with utmost sincerity.

Zhao Zheng: "..."

The girl's words were so grand!

At this moment, Zhao Zheng didn't want to probe further into Song Haitang's statement; he only wanted to complete the exchange as soon as possible.

So, with Song Haitang's consent, he immediately placed the crystal box in her hands and took away her box.

The two successfully completed the trade!

...

It was then that everyone realized Zhao Zheng was serious.

"No way... Is he really going through with this?"

"Is he just giving away the Burn Burn Fruit like that? What a fool!"

"I don't understand, but I'm deeply shocked."

"Indeed, Dog Lickers are an incomprehensible existence! Terrifying!"

"Haha, the TV cameras are rolling! I've captured the whole exchange, and I'll upload it online later. It's going to go viral for sure!"

"The biggest fool and the number one idiot has finally arrived!"

"When it comes to stupidity, I'd crown him the best!"

The students below witnessed the exchange of Extraordinary items, leaving them in an uproar.

Zhao Zheng's actions left all the male students baffled and unable to comprehend his thoughts.

As for the female students, many girls found Zhao Zheng's actions extremely romantic, wishing he would do the same for them and give them the Burn Burn Fruit...

In an instant, names like fool, romantic, big idiot, and king of Dog Lickers were all thrown at Zhao Zheng.

Even the teachers were deeply shocked!

The various university admissions offices that had sent their business cards to Zhao Zheng were all left dumbfounded. They stared at Zhao Zheng on stage as if he were an idiot.

Then, they shifted their gaze back to Song Haitang! Since that silly boy genuinely volunteered to hand over the Burn Burn Fruit, the girl holding the fruit was back on their radar as a talent they needed to compete for.

...

"Zhao Zheng, are you really..."

Even the Extinction Vice Principal was shocked.

She became the Extinction Vice Principal because her ex-husband had an affair, leading to a divorce that left her with a short temper, especially towards men.

But at this moment, she saw a glimmer of hope in Zhao Zheng, making her believe in love once again...

Turns out, "all crows are black" doesn't apply to all men!

As for Zhao Zheng...

This guy was currently overjoyed! His grin was so wide that even an AK-47 couldn't suppress it.

With the long-desired "Great Superman Heritage" in his grasp, he couldn't contain his excitement! The exchange was complete, and the Kryptonian Heritage Card inside the crystal box now belonged solely to Zhao Zheng.

Even if Song Haitang wanted it back, it would depend on Zhao Zheng's willingness to return it.

In other words!

The current Zhao Zheng...

Didn't need to pretend anymore.

However, he didn't want to reveal the secret of the Kryptonian Heritage.

The more people who merged with the Kryptonian Heritage Card, the more likely it was that the effectiveness of the card in his possession would diminish.

This wasn't an unfounded guess by Zhao Zheng, but rather a theory that had been circulating for years. There had even been news reports of a Devil Fruit user who believed this theory and, in order to monopolize the full power of the Devil Fruit, killed all other Devil Fruit users with the same ability...

Indeed, it was true that the Holy Land could produce duplicate Devil Fruits and Extraordinary Heritages.

According to research from the Academy, the reason for this phenomenon was to create the most outstanding Extraordinary Being.

Numerous Talent Ability users with similar powers were made to compete against each other.

This was somewhat similar to Raising Bugs. As long as someone could fully develop a certain Talent Ability and reach a certain level of strength, the Holy Land would completely prevent that Talent Ability from appearing again.

Consequently, there would never be another Talent Ability user with the same power in the Holy Land!

Therefore, for now, Zhao Zheng had to keep the secret of his Kryptonian Heritage!!

Once his strength reached a certain level, and this Talent Ability became unique to him, he could then openly become a "God Among Men."

As for the present...

If he revealed the secret of the Kryptonians and others took notice of this card before he had a chance to grow, and another Kryptonian Heritage Card appeared, it might affect him!

This must never happen!

Zhao Zheng had to keep the secret of his Kryptonian Heritage at all costs!! To avoid unnecessary trouble, he had to keep up the act.

So, Zhao Zheng turned to Song Haitang and urged, "Song Haitang, now that the exchange is complete, stop dallying and eat the Burn Burn Fruit quickly!"

The Deputy Principal also chimed in, "Yes, since it's Zhao Zheng's kind gesture, don't let it go to waste. And the Extraordinary Opportunity weakens over time... You've already delayed for a long time, so eat the fruit quickly!"

The Extraordinary Opportunity weakens over time? Hearing these words, Zhao Zheng couldn't hold back his surprise!

Damn! He had no idea!

He had originally planned to pretend for a while, then fuse the Great Superman Card after leaving the stage when no one was around.

What should he do now? He couldn't wait to fuse it...

No matter how reliable the Deputy Principal's words were, Zhao Zheng didn't dare take the risk!

Beside him, with the Deputy Principal's encouragement, Song Haitang looked at Zhao Zheng with apologetic eyes and opened the Crystal Box. She took out the red Devil Fruit and started eating it.

Now that the exchange was complete, she didn't hesitate or act coy.

However, after taking just one bite, she furrowed her delicate eyebrows.

The taste of the Devil Fruit was truly indescribable!

It seemed the news was right; the Devil Fruit tasted worse than shit.

Fortunately, Song Haitang had strong willpower. She endured the nausea and continued eating.

In truth, one bite of the Devil Fruit was enough, and Song Haitang knew this. Still, she chose to finish the fruit.

As for the reason...

Perhaps she didn't want to let Zhao Zheng's kindness go to waste!

After witnessing Song Haitang finish the fruit, the Deputy Principal immediately said, "Haitang, why don't you show everyone your Burn Burn Ability?"

At that moment, Song Haitang was immersed in the state of acquiring her Extraordinary Ability, and she instinctively made a move.

The girl raised her slender hand, and then...

"Pffft!"

A ball of flame appeared in Song Haitang's palm, astonishing everyone!

Everyone who saw this couldn't help but show their envy.

Especially Su Mengyao, who was both jealous and angry!

The Extraordinary Power was supposed to be hers! With this thought, Su Mengyao felt both angry and sad, and she started crying again...

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Seeing that everyone's attention was on Song Haitang, Zhao Zheng quietly retreated to the corner, took out the Great Superman Card, and selected the fusion option.

...
