Chapter 72: Song Haitang: I'm Already Engaged! (Modified)



As Zhao Zheng arrived at the cafeteria, the clock struck noon.

The cafeteria buzzed with activity, filled with teachers and students, including some senior sophomores and juniors.

Today's lunch menu was not only sumptuous but also free, a fact that appealed to the majority of humans' natural inclination for freebies.

Even as a Superhuman, it was a trait hard to shake off.

As Zhao Zheng entered, he couldn't help but notice the complex gazes of the freshmen directed at him.

Previously, they had looked down on Zhao Zheng's talent.

But now, with 700 Spirit Energy Points, Zhao Zheng had become a formidable figure in their eyes.

Zhao Zheng paid no heed to these freshmen's stares and proceeded to get his food.

Like the last time, today's lunch was a buffet-style affair.

A variety of dishes lined the sides, and everyone could help themselves to whatever they fancied.

Not long after.

Another student entered through the cafeteria doors.

It was Song Haitang.

At this moment, Song Haitang was undoubtedly the brightest star among the freshmen at Zhenwu University.

Her arrival immediately captured the attention of most people in the cafeteria.

Not just the freshmen, even the sophomores and juniors knew of Song Haitang's fame.

Some of the male seniors even displayed an intense interest in her.

Because not only did Song Haitang possess exceptional talent and potential, but she was also exceptionally beautiful.

Her fair skin had a rosy undertone, and her eyes shone like bright gems, captivating all who saw her.

Just then.

A few sophomores were discussing Song Haitang as she entered, commenting on her appearance.

"Is that Song Haitang?"

"Yes, it's her!"

"I heard she's the top freshman, and she's indeed impressive. I'd agree with her being number one just based on her looks."

"What? Brother Leopard, are you interested in her? I heard she has a high school classmate, and their love story is quite famous online!"

"Is that so? I like challenges like this."

As he finished speaking.

Brother Leopard wiped his mouth and stood up, heading straight for Song Haitang.

His companions also put down their food and eagerly watched the unfolding drama.

After entering the cafeteria, Song Haitang scanned the room, searching for someone.

Before coming.

She had already messaged Zhao Zheng, and only after knowing he was here did she arrive.

At this moment.

A robust figure suddenly appeared before Song Haitang.

"Hello, are you Song Haitang, my junior? I'm Zhao Tubao, a sophomore in Class 2A."

Song Haitang glanced at Zhao Tubao and politely nodded, "Hello, senior. Is there something I can help you with?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to get to know you."

Zhao Tubao said, taking out his phone, "Junior, let's exchange WeChat contacts! It'll be easier to stay in touch."

Song Haitang's eyebrows furrowed.

Zhao Tubao's intentions were a bit too obvious.

She directly responded, "No need, I'm already engaged."

This wasn't a lie.

In the second Spirit Realm, Song Haitang had accepted Zhao Zheng's token of affection, which was essentially an engagement, right?

As for parental consent?

Haha, even marriages don't require parental approval these days!

Hearing the girl's words, Zhao Tubao froze in his tracks.

Song Haitang was engaged?

Hadn't she just turned eighteen?

Why the rush to get engaged?

Zhao Tubao found it hard to believe.

He thought this was just an excuse to reject his advances.

This also indicated that the girl before him wouldn't be easily swayed...

Realizing this, Zhao Tubao decided to bring out his true skills.

"Junior, you're just joking.

"Furthermore, even if we're engaged, it doesn't mean that my junior sister has no choice in the matter."

As Zhao Tubao spoke, his eyes burned with intensity as he gazed at Song Haitang.

His eyes seemed to possess a magical charm, a certain allure that could influence people's minds.

"Hmm?"

Song Haitang, with her exceptionally high Mental Attribute, instantly sensed the charm Zhao Tubao was attempting to use on her.

Daring to use his superpower on her? The girl immediately reacted fiercely...

In the 1619 version of the book, she didn't make a single mistake!

"Bang!"

A fierce ball of flames suddenly appeared in front of Song Haitang and rushed towards Zhao Tubao.

Zhao Tubao was startled.

But this guy was quick to react, leaping away like a panther, narrowly avoiding Song Haitang's fiery attack.

"This is just a warning!"

Song Haitang's icy voice echoed, "Do it again, and I'll kill you!"

An unexpected turn of events.

Instantly, all eyes in the cafeteria turned towards them.

Seeing many people looking their way, Zhao Tubao laughed and said, "Song Haitang, I was just joking. Your reaction is a bit over the top."

Song Haitang merely stared at him coldly without saying a word.

"Since my junior sister refuses, then so be it."

Zhao Tubao turned and returned to his seat.

The others, disappointed that the show was over, continued to focus on their food.

...

As soon as Zhao Tubao returned to his seat, he heard his friends' laughter.

"Hehe! Brother Panther, you got rejected, huh?"

"Seems the rumors are true. This Song Haitang is indeed head over heels for her little white face."

"Haha, even Brother Panther fails at flirting sometimes? That's a rare sight!"

Zhao Tubao merely smiled at his friends' teasing, seemingly unbothered.

In reality, he was furious!

The fire Song Haitang had unleashed wasn't particularly powerful, but it had rushed towards his face. If he had reacted slower, he might have been disfigured.

What's more, he was very conscious of his image, and Song Haitang's actions had made him lose face in front of his friends.

"Brother Panther, I just saw you use your ultimate move, right?"

One of his friends asked, "That Song Haitang, she can actually resist it and even counter so quickly. It shows her Mental Attribute is even higher than we imagined!"

"What? You didn't know?" Another friend chimed in, "Song Haitang just achieved an SSS Rating in the Second Spirit Realm, earning 350 Spirit Energy Points. Her Mental Attribute is now at least 600 points."

"What?!" The first friend exclaimed.

Zhao Tubao was also surprised.

Then, he couldn't help but turn and glance at Song Haitang once more, his interest in her growing.

...

"Haitang, what happened just now?"

Zhao Zheng approached Song Haitang and asked.

Song Haitang's reaction had indeed been intense.

Knowing her well, he was aware that she wasn't one to overreact.

Song Haitang explained, "That guy seemed to possess a charm-like ability. He tried to use it on me, but I sensed it in time."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zheng's expression darkened.

Song Haitang was his future wife, and someone had dared to set their sights on her, using such underhanded tactics?

Zhao Zheng's gaze fell on Zhao Tubao, his mind already plotting how to get rid of him discreetly.

Although he had merged with the Mega Physique, he lacked the compassion and mercy of a true superbeing.

Instead, he admired the fearless and uninhibited Ancestral Hero!
