#145 - Return! The Collapse of Kyoto University

“Oh, right! This commander.”

Zhao Zheng came to the female commander's side, cupped his hands and asked, “May I ask how to address you?”

“This subordinate is Wei Mei!” The female commander quickly said.

Subordinate.

In ancient times, it was generally how people of low status referred to themselves when addressing superiors.

Wei Mei calling herself 'subordinate' in front of Zhao Zheng completely treated herself as a lower-ranking person, to show respect to Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng's punch really changed many things.

“Commander Wei.”

Zhao Zheng politely called out, and then said, “Let's set off!”

Wei Mei saw that Zhao Zheng was not riding a horse and asked in confusion, “Aren't you riding a horse?”

Zhao Zheng waved his hand: “I don’t need to ride a horse… You lead the way, I will keep up.”

Actually, he couldn't ride a horse!

However, with his current speed, catching up with a running horse was indeed easy.

Hearing Zhao Zheng say this, Wei Mei didn't ask any more questions, and immediately controlled the horse she was sitting on, heading towards the dark direction in the distance.

Zhao Zheng then strode forward, easily keeping up.

… …

Watching them leave.

The other transcendents on the city wall suddenly panicked.

“What are they doing?”

“Does this even need to be asked? Letting the natives lead the way, they must be going to hunt down monsters.”

“Damn? I just remembered that the monsters were so scared by that guy that they didn’t dare to come over…”

“Then what do we do?”

“What else can we do? If we want to get a high mission rating, we have to follow!”

Thus.

A large number of transcendents jumped off the city wall and ran towards the dark direction.

Only those transcendents who chose to lie flat did not move.

Area 17.

Jiang Hebin and the others did not move.

They kept in mind the task Zhao Zheng had given them, surrounding Song Haitang, secretly guarding against others.

Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Song Haitang said calmly: “You don't need to be so nervous, I believe you have also seen that we can get SSS-level mission ratings every time, it's all thanks to Zhao Zheng, among us, the truly important one is also Zhao Zheng! I am just a target standing in front to attract attention, as long as others are not fools, they will definitely not come to find trouble with me at this time.”

Everyone heard this and felt it made a lot of sense.

However.

They still didn't dare to relax.

What if there really were fools?

At this time.

There was a commotion from the city wall.

Everyone looked over and saw that the female general, with her subordinates, had come to Area 17.

They lit a bonfire on the city wall, wore cotton clothes, and grilled food, making others extremely envious.

Unfortunately, this kind of treatment was only available to Song Haitang and the others.

The female general did this to please Zhao Zheng.

Lest Zhao Zheng come back and find that his teammates were being starved and frozen, blaming her for not treating them well.

… …

At this time.

Jiang Hebin and the others were sitting around a bonfire, chatting while warming themselves.

“This mission is… really too comfortable.”

“Yeah! Everyone says that the Spirit Realm is a life-and-death situation, but what's the difference between us now and being on vacation?”

“We can be like this, all thanks to Brother Zhao! If we didn't have Brother Zhao and Sister Haitang leading the team this time, I'm afraid it would be a life-and-death situation.”

Everyone thought of the huge monster before and nodded.

Without Zhao Zheng turning the tide, that giant monster would be unstoppable.

What else would it be for them to guard here but a life-and-death situation?

“It's so awesome to come to the Spirit Realm with Brother Zhao!” Zhou Junjie said.

As soon as he finished speaking.

In the distance, a strong light from an explosion suddenly came, illuminating half the sky.

Soon, a huge roar followed.

Seeing this, everyone was not panicked.

Because they all knew that Zhao Zheng was displaying his great power at the monster's lair!!

Next.

Everything was very stable on their side.

No short-sighted transcendents dared to come looking for trouble!

Because, even if Zhao Zheng was not there, Song Haitang was also the strongest of the new students, and also a Natural系 Devil Fruit ability user, possessing a wide range of attack methods.

Being new students themselves, the difficulty of them wanting to kill Song Haitang was too great.

I'm afraid they would have to use a human wave tactic to have a chance.

Even if they succeeded, once Zhao Zheng came back, under his rage, he would definitely kill everyone here!

Zhao Zheng had this strength!

… …

Time passed quickly.

It was already the second half of the night.

Everyone originally thought that Zhao Zheng would probably not be able to come back until dawn.

Unexpectedly.

It was only one or two in the morning when he returned intact with Commander Wei Mei.

“Brother Zhao! You've worked hard.”

“Brother Zhao, come sit here.”

“Brother Zhao, first drink a bowl of hot soup to warm up.”

When Zhao Zheng came to the city wall, everyone stood up one after another, vying to show their goodwill.

Zhao Zheng immediately waved his hand: “We are all classmates, don't do this!”

Afterwards, he saw the things on the ground and immediately smiled.

“You guys are having a good time! You even got barbecue going?”

Jiang Hebin quickly said: “It's all thanks to you, these things were all sent by that general, no one else has them, only we have them.”

“Brother Zhao, these foods are all left for you.” Zhou Junjie said from the side.

Zhao Zheng nodded, and without being polite, sat down and started eating.

After killing monsters all night, he was indeed a little hungry at this moment.

“After you left before, many new students followed.” Song Haitang asked curiously: “Didn't you run into them?”

“I ran into them, they are still looking for monsters to kill!” Zhao Zheng said.

The teammates noticed that Zhao Zheng used the word “looking”!

Being able to use this word shows that the current number of monsters must be very scarce.

Song Haitang immediately asked: “You didn't kill all the monsters, did you?”

“That's not the case.” Zhao Zheng said: “Those monsters are too timid, they are all hiding in the abyss and dare not come out, I heard that the abyss leads to another world, I thought about it carefully, but I still didn't go in.”

“It's right not to go in, we just need to complete the mission.” Song Haitang said.

“Hmm!”

Zhao Zheng nodded, took the grilled meat from Chen Kai's hand, and ate it in large bites.

Chen Kai couldn't help but ask: “Brother Zhao, how many monsters did you kill just now?”

“I can't remember the exact number…”

Zhao Zheng thought for a while and said: “There must be hundreds of thousands.”

Hearing this.

Everyone gasped.

Hundreds of thousands of monsters killed in one Spirit Realm?

This is too outrageous!

But at this moment, it really happened so realistically, and they were still beneficiaries.

I believe this wave will definitely be an SSS-level mission rating again.

Thinking of this, everyone was very excited.

“Brother Zhao, you are too awesome!” Wang Fei couldn't help but say.

The others nodded.

Zhao Zheng shook his head and did not speak.

If he wasn't afraid of being too exaggerated, he could have killed through the abyss and piled the number of monsters killed to tens of millions.

However, this is too eye-catching. Even if this is the Amnesia Spirit Realm, once we get out and the super announcement is made, everyone will see that they killed tens of millions of monsters, and it will probably cause a worldwide sensation.

Even a fool knows that Song Haitang's Flame-Flame Fruit alone definitely couldn't kill tens of millions of enemies.

When that time comes, he might be exposed.

This is a case of 'too much is as bad as too little'!

"Brother Zhao, that General is here with people…" Zhang Chenggang just started to remind.

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and looked in the direction Zhang Chenggang indicated.

At this moment, the female General had already received the news of Zhao Zheng's safe return and was leading a group of subordinates towards this side.

Jiang Hebin and the others noticed that the previous female commander was also following behind the female General.

Before long.

The female General led her people to Zhao Zheng.

"On behalf of all the soldiers, I thank you for bravely fighting the enemy and resolving the disaster of the Abyss!"

After speaking, the female General directly performed a great salute towards Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng quickly helped her up: "There's no need to be so polite!"

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Afterward, the female General invited Zhao Zheng and others to return to the military camp to rest.

Tonight, those monsters have already been frightened, and it is estimated that they will not come again.

Even if they come, there is no need to be afraid. Naturally, there are people on duty on the city wall.

Once monsters are discovered, it won't be too late for Zhao Zheng to come and support.

Faced with the female General's invitation, Zhao Zheng readily agreed.

It's really uncomfortable to be blowing in the wind on the city wall.

…

It wasn't until the sky was about to dawn.

That Jiang Hebin and the others saw those people who had chased out before returning from the Abyss.

Seeing their faces were all sullen.

Presumably, they were not satisfied with this harvest.

Especially that Ma Jun, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, very unsightly.

Jiang Hebin smiled slightly upon seeing this.

He really wanted to stop Ma Jun and ask him how his harvest was, whether he could surpass True Martial University's side?

But after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Too childish.

A moment later.

When the sunlight of dawn began to shine on the earth.

All the transcendents in the sixth level of the Spirit Realm had a prompt pop up in their left eye.

【Attention: This Spirit Realm has ended and will teleport you out of the Spirit Realm in 30 seconds…】

【29, 28, 27…】

Seeing the countdown, Zhao Zheng then remembered that he still had a Transcendent Treasure Chest that he hadn't taken, which was given by the fifth level of the Spirit Realm.

Taking advantage of the little time left, he quickly took out the treasure chest and opened it…

The thirty-second countdown.

Ended quickly.

All the transcendents disappeared from the spot in an instant.

…

Blue Star.

On the Jing University playground.

The students returned from the Spirit Realm one after another.

The teachers and leaders in charge of the scene glanced around and found that many students had returned, and immediately showed a satisfied smile.

After statistics.

It was found that only one team of students did not return.

For this result, the leaders of Jing University were already very satisfied.

After all, the loss rate of the sixth level of the Spirit Realm every year is quite high.

Most importantly, Ma Jun's team all returned without a single loss.

What does this mean?

This shows that Ma Jun's trip must have been very smooth.

"Ma Jun!"

The teacher came to Ma Jun and showed an inquiring look: "Don't you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"No!" Ma Jun said: "I feel better than ever before."

He had lost his memory and did not know what happened in the Spirit Realm.

However, Ma Jun himself showed a proud look on his face.

He felt that with that Endurance Rune, even if he lost to Song Haitang this time, the results would definitely not be too far apart.

"Next, we will count everyone's scores."

A leader said loudly: "Students who have received mission rewards, please report to your teachers immediately!"

Immediately, many people raised their hands.

The teachers also came forward to count.

The first team had a lot of gains, killing a total of 339 monsters and obtaining an A-level mission rating.

Worthy of being Jing University!

Any team can get an A-level mission rating.

The other teams were either A-level or B-level!

It seems that there should be many monsters in the sixth level of the Spirit Realm.

As long as you don't die inside, you will have a good harvest if you come back alive.

The teachers were also very satisfied with the students' performance.

at the same time.

Everyone is also looking forward to Ma Jun's results.

Even these ordinary students can get an A-level mission rating. Ma Jun is so strong, at least he must start with an S-level, right?

Perhaps, with the blessing of the Endurance Rune, Ma Jun can get an SS-level mission rating, or even a perfect-level mission rating, and surpass Song Haitang of True Martial University in one fell swoop!

Thinking of this, the leaders looked at Ma Jun with anticipation.

And in this expectation.

Ma Jun's face suddenly changed.

Not only him, but his nine teammates also did the same, and even a riot occurred.

"How could this be?"

"Impossible, this is impossible…"

"It's wrong! The Spirit Realm must be wrong! How could we have such results?"

Hearing this.

The leaders were shocked.

The teacher in charge of Ma Jun's class immediately came over and asked: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Ma Jun's face still had an unbelievable look, and he seemed to be deaf to the teacher's words.

The other teammates were also shocked.

"Is it your score?"

The teacher asked again.

A student couldn't help but reach out his hand, first glanced at the captain Ma Jun, and then said: "Teacher, please see for yourself!"

The teacher immediately grabbed the student's hand and checked the other party's results.

Then.

The teacher's face changed, obviously shocked too…

"Teacher Wu, what's going on?"

"If the scores are out, read them out loud!"

Several leaders who were paying attention here said one after another.

The teacher hesitated for a moment, but still read aloud:

"Ma Jun, Wei Zhihong, He Chaoqiang…"

"Number of monsters killed in this Spirit Realm: 193."

"Comprehensive score: B level!"

"Comprehensive ranking: Not in the top 100."

"Received basic reward: 97 spirit energy points."

…

When Teacher Wu finished reading.

The entire playground fell into silence.

Everyone showed an unbelievable look when they heard Ma Jun and others' scores.

Because everyone knows.

In order to allow Ma Jun and others to have a good performance this time, and even surpass Song Haitang, the president of Jing University specially took money out of his own pocket to provide Ma Jun with an Endurance Rune.

Unexpectedly.

Ma Jun actually got a B-level mission rating?

This result is not even as good as the surrounding students!

Ma Jun's worst score in the past was also an A-level mission rating!

In the previous five Spirit Realms, even three times were S-level mission ratings.

Why is it that this time, with the help of Transcendent items, the results have deteriorated instead?

Can't figure it out.

I really can't figure it out!

And Ma Jun had already recovered at this time.

When he saw those strange eyes around him, he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to crawl into…
