#156 - The arrival of the seventh-level strongman - You don’t want god-level superpowers, so you choose the worst talent?

At that moment.

Zhao Zheng suddenly raised his hand to ask a question.

"Teacher, didn't you say before that it's impossible to know the contents of the Amnesia Spirit Realm? Why is it that the National Spirit Realm is leaking so much information? Even the groupings are known?"

Old Chu thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to tell you… it's because the person who won the championship can choose to give up the extra reward and retain the memory!"

"Our country has a top expert who has won the championship many times. He chose to retain the memory once and reported all the information in the National Instance to the higher-ups."

After a pause, Old Chu added, "However, most of this information is confidential. What I can know is just what I said just now."

The students suddenly understood.

Zhao Zheng frowned…

Just then.

The bell rang for the end of class.

Old Chu packed his things and said, "Remember what I just said. Before the National Spirit Realm arrives next month, if you can find connections and enter a strong team, try your best to do so."

"If you can get more Spirit Points in the National Spirit Realm, you will have more strength when you break through the tenth level Spirit Realm."

"Oh, right."

"Next week is the thirtieth day of the lunar year."

"If you want to go home for the New Year, you can come to me for leave. The maximum leave you can take is one week."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Old Chu turned and left.

Transcendents don't pay special attention to holidays, so there are no holidays in Transcendent High Schools every year.

There are no winter or summer vacations at all.

Even during the New Year, the school at most hangs a few lanterns and pastes a few couplets to add a little festive atmosphere, but everything else remains the same.

After Old Chu left.

The students began to discuss.

"If the teacher hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known that the New Year is coming soon."

"Yeah! Since entering the school in May, unknowingly, more than half a year has passed."

"Old Zhang, are you going back for the New Year? I plan to go back and take a look."

"You kid really plans to go back and take a look, or are you preparing to go back and find a strong team to get more Spirit Points in the National Spirit Realm? Don't think I don't know, you kid is from the capital."

"Hehe! Then I'll tell you the truth, I probably won't be able to team up with you guys this time in the National Spirit Realm."

"As expected, the young master from the capital is different! You have connections!"

"Sun Chen, what about you? Are you going back for the New Year?"

"No, I heard that the school is quite lively during the New Year, so I'll stay at school."

Zhao Zheng left the classroom.

Along the way, he was also considering whether to go home for the New Year…

…

At the same time.

Song Haitang of Class A was once again called to Teacher Shen's office.

"Haitang, I called you here because of the National Spirit Realm matter."

Teacher Shen knew Song Haitang's personality, so she went straight to the point.

"The higher-ups attach great importance to you, you know that, so this time in the National Spirit Realm, the higher-ups plan to arrange you into a strong team."

Teacher Shen said with a smile, "This strong team won the third place in Group One of last year's National Spirit Realm!!"

Of course, Song Haitang would not refuse such an arrangement.

She asked, "Is Zhao Zheng and I together?"

"This…"

Teacher Shen looked embarrassed and said, "For a strong team like that, the quota must be very competitive. In order for you to join such a strong team, the higher-ups have already made an exception and made many promises before persuading that captain to agree to your joining."

Song Haitang understood.

Song Haitang chose to refuse without hesitation.

However, she was not a fool and knew how to refuse without seeming ungrateful: "It's just a matter of gain or loss in the National Spirit Realm. I don't really care, and it's not worth it for the higher-ups to make promises that harm the interests of others just for me."

Teacher Shen frowned upon hearing this and glanced at Song Haitang helplessly.

Although Song Haitang's words sounded nice, Teacher Shen was not so easily fooled and knew that Song Haitang's sudden choice to refuse was entirely because of that kid Zhao Zheng.

"Haitang, think carefully. This is a rare opportunity."

Teacher Shen advised, "If you can enter that strong team, you can get at least several hundred more Spirit Points in this National Spirit Realm, which can further improve your strength!"

"The tenth level Spirit Realm is a single-player Spirit Realm and is relatively difficult. If you can have more strength, you will have a greater chance of getting a perfect mission rating."

Although Teacher Shen's persuasion was very reasonable.

But…

Song Haitang still did not intend to change her mind.

Because she knew Zhao Zheng's strength.

In the ninth level Spirit Realm, she had personally seen Zhao Zheng shatter a small island with one punch.

Such terrifying strength had definitely reached the seventh-order expert standard set by the country.

Maybe following Zhao Zheng, she could even compete for the championship in Group One!

Not embracing such a thick thigh? Running to join some strong team? Owing huge favors?

Is her brain broken??

"There's no need to say anymore, teacher. Please help me reject the higher-ups. This time in the National Spirit Realm, I'll still be with Zhao Zheng."

Song Haitang said.

Teacher Shen sighed upon hearing this.

"I knew you would say that…"

"Since that's the case, then you and Zhao Zheng, join the True Martial University's teacher team!"

"Joining the True Martial University's teacher team, you definitely don't have to think about good rankings, but it shouldn't be a problem to get into the top 200."

"It's a pity that the principal exceeded the thirty-fifth level Spirit Realm a few years ago and has to go to Group Two for the National Spirit Realm. If the principal was still in Group One, with him leading the team, they might have been able to enter the top ten!"

Song Haitang did not agree immediately and said, "I have to ask for Zhao Zheng's opinion."

"Okay, go and discuss it with Zhao Zheng." Teacher Shen said, "I also have to report your intentions to the higher-ups."

…

At the same time.

Zhao Zheng also received a call from his grandfather.

"Grandpa? Why did you suddenly think of calling me?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask how you are doing at school?"

"Of course, I'm doing very well at school."

Zhao Zheng guessed that the old man was probably calling at this time to ask him where he would be spending the New Year.

So, he asked, "Grandpa, do you want to ask me if I'm going back for the New Year?"

Unexpectedly, the old man on the other side actually said, "New Year? You don't need to come back for the New Year. Come back when you are strong enough! To avoid accidents."

Zhao Zheng: "…"

He was still considering whether to go back and spend the New Year with his parents.

Unexpectedly, the old man knew everything.

"Then Grandpa, do you… have other things?"

"Yes! There is indeed a small matter that I want to talk to you about."

The old man on the other end of the phone said, "When I used to venture into the Spirit Realm, I also had a few old buddies with whom I had a good relationship. I even saved one of my partners' life… Now his little daughter is a very powerful expert. At the beginning of the year, she has already passed the assessment standards for a seventh-order transcendent."

"Grandson, the National Spiritual Realm is next month. You don't have a team yet, do you?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zheng finally understood the old man's intention.

"Grandpa, are you planning to have me team up with that expert?"

"That's right!"

The old man said, "That old fellow's health is getting worse and worse. He still owes me a big favor. While he's still around, we should use this favor. Once he's gone, it'll be useless."

What he said made sense.

A favor is not a debt of money. A debt of money can be repaid by the son, but a favor, if you want the son to repay it, it all depends on whether they acknowledge it.

If they don't acknowledge it, there's definitely nothing you can do.

However…

Zhao Zheng didn't want to trouble the old man because of this.

"Grandpa, I don't think there's any need for so much trouble. My strength is not bad…"

The old man immediately said, "Grandson, I know your strength is not bad, but in the National Spiritual Realm, there are many experts. It's not that Grandpa wants to discourage you, but with your current strength, it's not enough in the National Spiritual Realm!"

Zhao Zheng: "…"

It seemed that the old man didn't know how strong he really was.

At this moment.

The old man added, "To take a step back, even if your current strength is very good, you still need an expert to help you cover, understand what I'm saying?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zheng's eyes lit up.

Of course, he understood what the old man meant.

If he and Song Haitang and the others got a good ranking, or even the championship, it would definitely expose his strength.

Because it simply wouldn't make sense.

Why would a group of freshmen be able to win the National Spiritual Realm martial arts championship?

But if there was a Tier 7 expert on the team, it would make sense.

Even if they weren't championship seed players, it would be understandable if they pulled off an upset.

After all, they were also Tier 7 experts, their strength was there!

Thinking of this.

Zhao Zheng immediately said, "Okay, Grandpa, what you said makes sense. I'll listen to your arrangements."

The old man smiled and said, "I've already spoken to my old friend. I'll send you his daughter's number later, and you can contact her yourself… Oh, right, you've met before. During the Space-Time Rift crisis last time, she was the Tier 7 expert who came to support us."

Hearing this.

Zhao Zheng immediately remembered that the official support expert who came to block the monsters in the Space-Time Rift in his hometown when he was "Chen Ye" last time was a woman in her thirties.

Her ability was "Laser Eyes", which was indeed very powerful!

Anyway, killing Zhao Zheng at that time would definitely not be a problem.

As for now…

…

After hanging up the phone.

Not long after.

The old man sent a message.

The message only contained a number and a surname.

The surname was "Gu."

Zhao Zheng didn't think much about it and called the number.

The call was quickly connected.

"Sister Gu, hello, I'm Zhao Zheng."

The other end of the phone paused, and then said, "According to seniority, you should call me Auntie."

Indeed.

In terms of seniority, her father and Zhao Zheng's grandfather were of the same generation.

Then she would naturally be one generation older than Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "Sister Gu, you're so young, I'm just afraid of making you sound old."

Sister Gu was not a talkative person.

She directly entered the topic and said, "I know why you're looking for me. My father has already told me… However, there's a situation you need to be prepared for."

Before Zhao Zheng could say anything, she continued, "My team has encountered some… problems. Currently, I'm the only one left. So, if we team up for this National Spiritual Realm, you will be the one to build the team!"

Hearing this.

Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment.

He felt that the problem with the other party's team might be because of him!

The general process was not difficult to guess. It was nothing more than Sister Gu wanting to bring him into the team, which was opposed by her teammates, and finally, a disagreement occurred with the team…

Otherwise, how could a Tier 7 expert not be able to form a team?

It seemed that this Sister Gu was also a person who valued relationships!

In order to repay the favor her father owed, she was willing to suffer such a "loss".

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng said, "Sister Gu, don't worry, I will build a good team."

"That's it then. On the 1st of next month, I will come to Zhenwu University to find you."

After Sister Gu finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly.

…

A moment later.

Zhao Zheng's phone rang again.

This time it was Song Haitang calling, asking him to meet at a coffee shop.

Zhao Zheng arrived as scheduled and met Song Haitang.

They both ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the window, talking and chatting.

"Haitang, you suddenly asked me out, is it for the National Spiritual Realm?"

"Yes!"

Song Haitang nodded and explained what Teacher Shen had said about them joining the school's teacher team.

Hearing this.

Zhao Zheng was first stunned, and then fell into thought.

The Zhenwu University's teacher team was not weak.

For example, Song Haitang's teacher, Teacher Shen.

She was a senior Tier 5 expert, and it was said that she had already touched the edge of Tier 6, and her strength was not bad.

Old Chu was also a Tier 5 expert, but he was much worse than Teacher Shen.

"We can agree, but including you, I need three spots on my side."

Zhao Zheng said, "Just now, my grandpa, through connections, introduced a Tier 7 expert to help us. I also need someone to help cover, otherwise, it wouldn't make sense to get good results, so I agreed."

Hearing this, Song Haitang very much agreed.

"That's right! You do need a Tier 7 expert on the surface… I understand, I'll tell the teacher."

As soon as she finished speaking.

Song Haitang directly dialed Teacher Shen's number in front of Zhao Zheng.

Teacher Shen: "Haitang? Have you discussed it with Zhao Zheng?"

Song Haitang: "Yes! Teacher, but there are four people on my side."

Zhao Zheng: ? ? ?

Wasn't it three people?

"This…"

Teacher Shen on the other end of the phone seemed a little hesitant.

Song Haitang took the initiative to explain the situation: "Teacher, in addition to Zhao Zheng and me, the other two are my father and a Tier 7 expert!"

Hearing this.

Zhao Zheng suddenly understood, and then smiled.

It turned out that the girl wanted to bring her father, Chairman Song…

And Teacher Shen on the other end of the phone was overjoyed when she heard that there was a Tier 7 expert.

"That's great."

Teacher Shen quickly asked, "Haitang, where did you invite this big shot from?"

"It wasn't me."

Song Haitang said, "It was Zhao Zheng's grandfather who used his connections to invite him for Zhao Zheng."

Thus.

The team was determined in this way.

The remaining six spots were to be resolved by Teacher Shen.

Originally.
