#157 - The competition begins, who is the strongest?
Chapter 157: Martial Arts Competition Begins – Who is the Strongest?
February 17th.
This morning.
As Zhao Zheng woke up from the sunbathing device and opened his eyes, he saw many prompts popping up in his left eye:
【Physique attribute reached 3000, your Steel Body amplification effect is enhanced again…】
【Strength attribute reached 3000, your Super Strength amplification effect is enhanced again…】
【Agility attribute reached 3000, successfully activated the hidden talent of the Kryptonian bloodline: Super Speed!】
【Super Speed: One of the innate abilities of the Kryptonian bloodline. After activation, it will generate the Speed Force, greatly increasing speed. The maximum limit is the speed of light.】
【Hint: Super Speed can also amplify flight speed.】
Along with the appearance of these prompts.
There were also changes happening in his body!
Zhao Zheng was overjoyed.
He immediately opened his attribute panel:
Race: Human.
Talents: Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, Kryptonian bloodline [Steel Body ⑤, Super Strength ⑤, Super Speed ⑤, Super Flight].
Skills: Fist Bone · Impact, Armament Haki (Sublime), Demonic God Descent, Extraordinary Perception.
Spirit Points: 45.
… …
This is his current attribute panel!
When Zhao Zheng came out of the sunbathing device and stood on the ground, the powerful vitality and surging power in his body made him couldn't help but feel refreshed!
Originally.
His goal for this National Spiritual Realm was to enter the top five.
Now, he is completely confident in competing for the championship!!
Because, at this moment, Zhao Zheng felt terrifyingly strong!
No matter how strong that "One-Punch Man" from Korea is, he is confident that he can beat him to a pulp…
Afterward.
Zhao Zheng washed up, went out to find a deserted place, and tested his speed.
The effect was amazing!
His movement speed was as fast as lightning, uncalculable.
Especially the flight speed!
Originally, Zhao Zheng's flight speed was linked to his agility attribute.
For example, his current agility attribute is 3000 points, then his flight speed is Mach 3.
That is three times the speed of sound!
But with Super Speed, his flight speed has also directly increased five times, reaching Mach 15!
Such a flight speed has surpassed all aircraft on the market, as well as most missiles, directly chasing Dongfeng Express!
The Superman physique is indeed awesome!
Now Zhao Zheng has almost no weaknesses.
… …
Time passed quickly.
March 1st finally arrived.
At eight o'clock in the morning.
Zhao Zheng walked out of the dormitory and came to the cafeteria for breakfast, and found that the cafeteria was unusually deserted today.
There were not many students coming for breakfast.
The cafeteria seemed to have received a notice, and the amount of breakfast prepared was not much.
Zhao Zheng knew the reason.
Today is the day the National Spiritual Realm opens!
Everyone can participate in the National Spiritual Realm, and there are no restrictions on the spiritual realm level and strength for forming a team.
So, without guessing, most of the students must have found other teams and left the school.
Zhao Zheng took a portion of breakfast, found a seat and sat down, and began to eat breakfast.
While eating, he took out his phone to check.
Compared to the deserted cafeteria.
The internet is much more lively.
It was only a little after eight o'clock, and countless people were discussing the National Spiritual Realm…
“Damn! I'm about to enter the National Spiritual Realm, I'm so nervous!”
“What's there to be nervous about? I've even prepared my acceptance speech for the championship.”
“Who has yellow urine? Please wake up the person upstairs, dreaming in broad daylight.”
“Speaking of which, who do you guys think will win the championship in this National Spiritual Realm?”
“I don't know about Group Two, but for Group One, it should still be that Korean guy nicknamed 'One-Punch Man', right? It's really annoying! This Korean guy will probably have to win two or three consecutive championships before he leaves.”
“What about domestically? Which ones are championship contenders?”
“Two from the military, one from the Transcendent Association, one from the Zodiac Bureau… that should be it.”
“I wonder if Song Haitang can still be a god this time?”
“Dreaming? Unless she joins a strong team, otherwise with her current strength, it will be difficult to even get into the top 500.”
“Indeed, Song Haitang has not yet broken away from the scope of a freshman. The stage of the National Spiritual Realm is a bit too early for her right now…”
… …
There was a lot of discussion on the internet.
Everyone was guessing who would win the championship in this National Spiritual Realm.
Even, in some forums, Zhao Zheng also saw advertisements for gambling websites. Many gambling websites have opened bets for this National Spiritual Realm.
Currently, the biggest favorite for the championship is naturally that "Ma Dongwu" from South Korea!
“What are you looking at? So engrossed?”
At this time, a voice sounded opposite Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng's gaze left the phone and looked opposite him, and found that Old Chu had come.
Old Chu was holding a plate at this moment, and sat down opposite Zhao Zheng.
While putting away his phone, Zhao Zheng asked: "Old Chu, are you also so late today?"
In private, Zhao Zheng now calls Teacher Chu, always calling him Old Chu.
Only in public will he call him Teacher.
And Old Chu doesn't seem to mind this equal friendship-style of getting along.
“Isn't it because I heard that you kid found a Tier 7 powerhouse to join the team, I was so excited last night that I couldn't sleep!”
Old Chu said with a smile: "So I woke up a little late today."
Yes.
Old Chu is also in the teaching team of Zhenwu University.
It is said that after learning that a Tier 7 powerhouse had joined, the quota for members of the Zhenwu University teaching team suddenly became highly sought after. At least within the school, many people had taken a fancy to it.
Zhao Zheng didn't know the specifics of what happened.
The remaining six people in the total of ten-person team were all decided by Teacher Shen.
“Old Chu, don't worry, I will definitely carry you this time.”
Hearing this.
Old Chu laughed.
He nodded and said: "With that Ms. Gu's ability, it is indeed no problem to take us into the top 50."
Obviously, Old Chu misunderstood.
Zhao Zheng didn't care and didn't explain.
He asked: "By the way, who do you think is more likely to win the championship in this National Spiritual Realm?"
Old Chu didn't even think about it and said directly: "The popular candidate for the championship is definitely that Ma Dongwu from South Korea."
Zhao Zheng frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask: "What is the strength of this Ma Dongwu? What is his innate ability?"
Old Chu replied: "His innate ability is the Eternal Race · Gilgamesh bloodline, and his strength is very amazing! As for his strength… there should be videos of him taking action a few years ago on the internet, you can look for them."
Hearing this.
Zhao Zheng was a little surprised.
There is even the Eternal Race's bloodline in the Holy Land?
Then, he recalled the Eternal Race movie. In this garbage movie, that Eternal Race called "Gilgamesh" had very few scenes, but the strength he showed was indeed not weak, and his strength was very strong.
And in the official Marvel data, Gilgamesh's strength can even be compared with the Hulk.
In addition, Gilgamesh's physique is also very strong, with high defense and endurance.
No wonder that Ma Dongwu from South Korea is called "One-Punch Man"!
Speaking of which.
In the Earth's "Eternals" movie, the actor playing Gilgamesh is also South Korean, and also has the nickname "One-Punch Man."
What a coincidence!
Afterward.
Zhao Zheng took out his phone and searched for Ma Dongwu's videos online...
Many search results popped up.
It seems that this Ma Dongwu is very popular online.
Among them, the most popular video has over a million likes.
Zhao Zheng clicked it open and saw Ma Dongwu charging forward on a battlefield full of monsters. All the monsters blocking his way were blown away by his punch. Even monsters with a size of over dozens of meters were also knocked away with one punch...
His strength is very amazing!!
Completely surpassing the real "Gilgamesh."
...
Next.
Zhao Zheng asked about some other champion seed players.
Old Chu said a lot in one breath.
There are quite a few both domestically and abroad.
It seems that the competition for the championship of the National Spiritual Realm is very fierce!
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Everyone gathered in a lounge.
When Zhao Zheng arrived, almost all the teachers were there.
Besides Teacher Shen and Teacher Chu, Zhao Zheng was quite familiar with the remaining four teachers, but he didn't know their names.
After a while.
Song Haitang and her father, Chairman Song, arrived at the same time.
Seeing Zhao Zheng, Chairman Song nodded rarely, as a greeting.
Since seeing Zhao Zheng's performance in the fifth level of the spiritual realm last time, Chairman Song's attitude towards Zhao Zheng has also changed.
However.
In Chairman Song's heart, Zhao Zheng is still not as good as that Chen Ye.
Thinking of "Chen Ye," Chairman Song couldn't help but frown.
This kid has disappeared, I don't know where he went, and I can't contact him...
Everyone exchanged greetings for a few words, and then sat down one after another.
"Zhao Zheng, when will Ms. Gu be able to come?" Teacher Shen asked.
Everyone already knew the identity of the seventh-order powerhouse Zhao Zheng had invited.
Zhao Zheng said, "I just contacted her, she is on the way, and will probably arrive in about twenty minutes."
The teachers breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
As long as they are sure she can come and won't ditch them, that's fine.
Twenty minutes later.
A luxurious business electric car drove into Zhenwu University.
The one who got out of the car was Gu-jie.
Gu-jie's real name is "Gu Yuying", and she is thirty-three years old this year.
To reach the seventh-order standard at this age, she is definitely a gifted talent!
For Gu Yuying's arrival, everyone went to greet her.
A seventh-order powerhouse is worth everyone doing this.
After some polite greetings, everyone returned to the lounge and sat down.
Gu Yuying glanced around, seemingly calm, but in her heart, she was somewhat disappointed with the team that Zhao Zheng had formed.
There isn't even a sixth-order transcendent!
Although she came to repay a favor from her elders, she also cares about the results of the National Spiritual Realm...
While Gu Yuying was looking at the people around her, Zhao Zheng was also sizing up this "Gu-jie"!
Last time at his hometown, he didn't look at her carefully, and she left, busy with eliminating monsters.
Now that she is sitting in front of him, Zhao Zheng will naturally be more curious and take a closer look.
Although this Gu-jie is in her thirties, her figure is well-maintained because she is a transcendent, with a slender waist and long legs, and curves in all the right places.
Her skin is a healthy wheat color.
She has a clean, short haircut.
As for her facial features... because she wears special, large mechanical glasses on her eyes, covering most of her face, it's hard to see her appearance clearly.
However, judging from her nose and mouth, she should not be ugly.
"Gu-jie, I'm really troubling you this time."
Zhao Zheng said.
Gu Yuying waved her hand, glanced at Song Haitang, and then said: "You and Song Haitang are our future, and also key figures that the higher-ups are focusing on. I am very happy to be able to help you on your path to growth."
This Ms. Gu has a high EQ and knows how to talk.
Chairman Song immediately said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Ms. Gu is also a special consultant of the Transcendent Association of our province. I, as the chairman, have never had the opportunity to visit, which is my dereliction of duty!"
"Chairman Song, you are too polite." Gu Yuying said: "My consultant position is just a nominal one. You are the chairman, and you are busy with everything every day. It must be very busy. It should be me visiting you..."
Amidst the polite exchanges between the two parties.
The time quickly came to after eleven o'clock.
"There is one minute left before the National Spiritual Realm opens, let's prepare." Teacher Shen reminded.
Everyone nodded, stood up from their seats, walked together side by side, and then held hands.
Seeing Zhao Zheng holding his daughter's hand, Chairman Song was a little unhappy, but he didn't say much...
One minute of time.
Passed quickly.
At the moment when the spiritual realm opened, the ten people in the lounge all disappeared from the spot.
...
The next moment.
Everyone's figures appeared in an unknown square.
The square is very large, almost endless.
Not far away, there is a huge super arena, comparable to the area of a large city.
At this time.
There are a lot of people in the square, simply too many to count.
Obviously, they are all transcendents who have just been teleported over.
"Is this the National Spiritual Realm? There are so many people!"
"That building is... the arena? This is too big, right?"
"If it's not big enough, how can it accommodate so many people?"
"Thinking that I will be able to see the martial arts competitions of masters from all walks of life soon, I am full of expectations!"
"Yes! I will definitely be able to feast my eyes!"
Countless discussions around him entered Zhao Zheng's ears.
However, Zhao Zheng didn't care about these.
He approached Song Haitang without showing any signs, protecting the girl in his arms to avoid accidents.
Because there are too many people around!
It cannot be determined now whether it is possible to attack others here. What if someone has bad intentions after seeing Song Haitang?
Although Zhao Zheng is very confident in his current strength.
However, there are also powerful experts here!
And Song Haitang quickly noticed Zhao Zheng's small movements. Smart as she is, she quickly knew that Zhao Zheng was protecting her, and her heart warmed, and a smile appeared on her pretty face.
At this time.
The martial arts competition rules of the National Spiritual Realm appeared in the left eyes of all transcendents.
The martial arts competition rules are very long.
One of them clearly stated that private attacks on others are prohibited except in the arena...
Seeing such martial arts competition rules, Zhao Zheng relaxed and no longer protected Song Haitang like an old hen protecting her chicks.
"Huh? Teacher Shen?"
A voice suddenly came from the side, attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone turned their heads and saw a strange team.

(PS: The condition is very poor, the matter of adding more updates will be discussed later...)
