Chapter 163: No More Pretending, One-Shotting the Wasteland Wolf! (Bonus 4,000 Words)
“Huh? What's that kid Zhao Zheng doing?”
Old Chu exclaimed, “Why isn't he using Fist Wind Impact? What's with approaching the Wasteland Wolf?”
“He's not planning on fighting the Wasteland Wolf in close combat, is he?” Teacher Qian guessed.
President Song had just been rebuffed by his daughter and was in a bad mood. He immediately said, “I think he's just asking for trouble!”
Others also wore strange expressions, puzzled by Zhao Zheng's actions.
Only Song Haitang's pretty face remained calm…
Meanwhile, on the arena.
Zhao Zheng was walking towards the Wasteland Wolf.
He wasn't walking fast, as if taking a stroll, and the expression on his face was very relaxed.
Why didn't he use Fist Wind Impact this time on stage?
The two sides soon collided.
When the distance was close enough, the Wasteland Wolf suddenly raised its giant axe and swung it down at Zhao Zheng's head.
“Whoosh!”
The sound of air being torn apart rang out.
It was as if the air itself had been split.
Flames even appeared on the Wasteland Wolf's axe.
This showed the power of the Wasteland Wolf's attack.
Extraordinary Intuition instantly warned Zhao Zheng that this attack was dangerous to him and could probably break through his Steel Body.
Of course, the warning was not strong, indicating that the Wasteland Wolf's attack could only injure Zhao Zheng at most.
That was if Zhao Zheng stood still and did nothing.
Zhao Zheng sighed inwardly.
The fact that Extraordinary Intuition issued a warning meant that his current defense was still far from the real Superman!
The real Superman could ignore the Wasteland Wolf's attacks, without even dodging.
Zhao Zheng couldn't do that yet!
Zhao Zheng slightly tilted his head, exposing his shoulder, and then activated Armament Haki.
“Buzz!”
His shoulder, and even half of his neck, instantly turned pitch black, shining brightly.
Zhao Zheng's Armament Haki was now at max level, reaching a divine state.
Even the “Navy Hero Garp,” known for his strongest Armament Haki, was no more than this.
The max-level Armament Haki provided a 400% increase in defense!
Coupled with Zhao Zheng's Steel Body, it was simply “indestructible”!
Extraordinary Intuition's warning instantly disappeared…
At the same time.
The giant axe in the Wasteland Wolf's hand also fell.
“Clang——”
A crisp sound almost resounded throughout the entire arena!
It was completely the sound of metal colliding!
The huge impact caused the arena under Zhao Zheng's feet to collapse instantly, with a large number of cracks appearing.
The Wasteland Wolf's power was terrifying!
However…
Having withstood such an attack head-on, Zhao Zheng still stood in place, standing tall.
There was even a smile on his face.
The next moment.
Zhao Zheng clenched his fist and punched the Wasteland Wolf…
“Boom!”
A thunderous sound, like an exploding mine, appeared in the arena.
The moment Zhao Zheng hit the Wasteland Wolf, a terrifying shockwave was even generated, spreading outward from the point of impact.
As for the Wasteland Wolf.
Its body flew out like a cannonball, flying directly out of the arena and crashing into the protective barrier around the arena before landing.
It was almost the same attack as the previous “One-Punch Man” Ma Dongwu!
Zhao Zheng easily won!
…
It wasn't until Zhao Zheng stepped into the portal and left the arena that the shocked crowd in the audience began to discuss.
“What was that just now? Did I see things? That freshman, he won?”
“You didn't see things. Not only did he win, but he won easily, defeating the veteran sixth-order Wasteland Wolf with one punch!”
“This is simply… unbelievable!”
“You're all overlooking the main point. What's really amazing is that he actually withstood the Wasteland Wolf's full-strength attack head-on, and it was a heavy blow with a weapon. Yet he was unharmed?”
“I saw Armament Haki…”
“Relying on Armament Haki alone is definitely not enough to block such an attack. You need a strong foundation. This shows that his body's defense is terrifyingly strong.”
“Wait… isn't this kid a freshman? How can he have such terrifying strength?”
…
“Chen Kai, did you see that? Brother Zhao… actually won again!”
“I saw it. He's indeed unfathomable. I guess he was the main force who led us to get the god-tier title before!”
…
“Haha, Little Zhao, I told you, your cousin is not simple!”
The battalion commander laughed loudly, “He can even easily defeat such a monster.”
Zhao Rong's face was blank, his face full of disbelief. “I feel like I'm dreaming.”
“For a freshman to have such strong strength, the problem can only lie in his talent ability.” The battalion commander said, “It seems that the secret of the Kryptonian bloodline has been fully discovered by your cousin.”
…
At this moment.
Almost the entire audience was discussing Zhao Zheng.
So much so that those transcendents who were still fighting hard in the arena were ignored…
Zhao Zheng's performance was too amazing.
If he were a well-established powerhouse, the crowd wouldn't be so surprised.
The key is that he's still a freshman!!
Which freshman can have such perverted strength?
Therefore.
When Zhao Zheng returned to his seat, except for Song Haitang, who had a smile on her face, the rest of his teammates were all staring at him with surprised eyes.
Their expressions were as if the Zhao Zheng in front of them was not real…
Even Gu Yuying and the other team members around him looked at Zhao Zheng with disbelief.
“Why are you all looking at me like that?”
Faced with everyone's gaze, Zhao Zheng said helplessly, “I said long ago that I have seventh-order strength, it's you who didn't believe me!”
His remarks finally brought everyone back to their senses.
However, everyone still found it hard to believe everything they had just seen.
A freshman is actually a seventh-order大佬?
How should they, as elders, conduct themselves?
Especially Old Chu.
As Zhao Zheng's teacher, he felt a lot of pressure at this moment!
He was about to ask something.
President Song suddenly said, “Regarding Zhao Zheng's strength, let's talk about it in the lounge tonight. Everyone, let's watch the martial arts competition first!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood that President Song didn't want Zhao Zheng to reveal too much in public.
Although this was a challenge mode and there would be no confrontation between the teams, it was never wrong to let the competitors know less about the team's information.
So, everyone stopped talking.
Although there were countless doubts in their hearts, they could only hold them back at this moment.
As for the other team members around, who were originally preparing to prick up their ears to listen, they could only disappointedly shift their gazes away, occasionally stealing glances at Zhao Zheng…
Especially the team behind Zhao Zheng, many people were very uncomfortable.
They had mocked him before, and there were some conflicts between the two sides.
Now that Zhao Zheng was performing so well, it was almost like slapping them in the face.
“It seems that I guessed right.”
The seventh-order大佬, Curator Sun, said with a smile, “The Kryptonian bloodline is indeed extraordinary.”
…
That night.
In the lounge.
Everyone surrounded Zhao Zheng, in a posture of “severe interrogation.”
Zhao Zheng didn't care, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking like a big boss.
“If you have any questions, ask them quickly!”
Hearing this.
Old Chu was the first to ask: “Zhao Zheng, your strength… is it really at the seventh rank?”
Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and said, “I haven’t tested it, but, it should be, right?”
If he had said this before.
Then definitely no one would have believed it.
Who would believe that a freshman who had just passed the ninth level of the Spirit Realm could reach the seventh rank?
No one would dare to brag like that!
However, the battle results of the day were right in front of everyone, and everyone had to believe it.
“Is your strength so strong because you ate the Tremor-Tremor Fruit?”
Teacher Shen had just asked when she actively denied it: “That shouldn’t be possible. Even if that Tremor-Tremor Fruit hadn’t lost its effect, how long have you eaten it? In such a short time, it’s impossible for it to make you so strong…”
“So, is it because of the Kryptonian bloodline? Have you discovered the secrets of the Kryptonian bloodline?”
Zhao Zheng nodded and said, “Yes! The Kryptonian bloodline should be the strongest talent in the Holy Land.”
Hearing this.
Everyone exclaimed, but President Song's face changed.
After thinking it over, he couldn't help but ask: “So, when you exchanged talent abilities with my daughter, did you have ulterior motives? Did you already know the power and secrets of the Kryptonian bloodline?”
As soon as he said this.
The atmosphere on the scene changed immediately.
If President Song's assumption was true, then the relationship between Song Haitang and Zhao Zheng would change.
Zhao Zheng had long known that President Song might ask this, and he had already prepared his answer.
“Uncle Song, don’t you think it’s a bit biased for you to say that?”
Zhao Zheng said unhurriedly: “The Kryptonian bloodline is not the only case. That person from South Korea has tried various methods, but has not found the secret of the Kryptonian. Could I have been born knowing it? Do you think I am a natural saint? Knowing everything?”
Yes!
That was the most unreasonable thing.
President Song was also speechless.
Zhao Zheng continued: “I have watched the video of that live report from more than ten years ago and know what vows Haitang made in front of the camera! I also know how eager your daughter is to become stronger so that she can achieve her wishes!”
At this moment, Zhao Zheng used his strongest acting skills.
“From the first time I saw Haitang in high school, I was attracted to her… Uncle Song, to say something shameless, I secretly loved your daughter for three whole years!”
“When I obtained the Flare-Flare Fruit from the Holy Land, the first thing I thought of was that Song Haitang needed it more than I did, so I didn’t eat the Flare-Flare Fruit immediately.”
“Regarding this point, you can check the live video at the time or ask my classmates. After getting the Flare-Flare Fruit, I took the box and walked down directly, without any intention of eating it on the spot.”
“At that time, Haitang hadn’t even entered the Holy Land yet. You can’t say that I have the ability to predict in advance, right?”
“Later, Haitang obtained the Kryptonian bloodline, which was known as a useless talent, in the Holy Land. I saw the disappointment in her eyes… I felt very sorry for her and was even more afraid that she would be discouraged because of this. So, in a moment of impulse, I sent the Flare-Flare Fruit up.”
“Actually, after the exchange was completed, I watched Haitang eat the Flare-Flare Fruit and gain the ability to control flames. At that moment, I suddenly regretted it.”
“What I regretted was not losing the Flare-Flare Fruit, but realizing that Haitang was likely to soar into the sky from then on, and we would be people from two different worlds. I would never be able to get close to her again…”
“So, I made a bold move. I fused the Kryptonian bloodline card that Haitang gave me. I also wanted to have extraordinary power and even wanted to continue pursuing Song Haitang.”
“I didn’t want to be too far apart from Haitang, so that even looking at her would become a luxury!”
As Zhao Zheng spoke, he seemed to be moved even himself, shedding two lines of tears.
At this moment, his acting skills were sublimated, and he even succeeded in deceiving himself, making himself believe that this was the truth!
To deceive others, you must first deceive yourself.
So Zhao Zheng succeeded.
His performance was perfect and impeccable.
Most importantly, what Zhao Zheng said was reasonable and the best explanation for his behavior, with extremely high credibility.
Hearing what Zhao Zheng said, President Song was ashamed.
This silly boy in front of him loved Song Haitang far more than her father!
As for Song Haitang herself… the girl's eyes were full of tenderness as she looked at Zhao Zheng, and her eyes were full of tears.
In fact, this was the first time she had heard these “heartfelt words” from Zhao Zheng!
The girl was so moved…
“As for how I discovered the secret of the Kryptonian bloodline.”
Zhao Zheng said again: “As I said before, I was unwilling to become a waste and the gap between me and Haitang was getting bigger and bigger. So, I started to study the Kryptonian bloodline. I found that there are actually two extremes in the online evaluation of Kryptonians!”
“Most people think that the Kryptonian bloodline is a useless talent, but some people think that the number of Kryptonian bloodlines is so small that it must be very powerful, but its secrets have not been discovered yet.”
“I agree with the latter point of view very much. I started to try various things!”
“Here, I want to thank the old gentleman from South Korea. He has tried many methods but failed to find the secret of the Kryptonian bloodline. I just need to avoid the methods he tried, which undoubtedly narrowed the scope for me…”
“However, after many attempts, I still failed…”
“Until one day, when I was walking aimlessly on the street, I saw a solarium experience hall. So, with a try-it-out mentality, I walked in!”
“Hearing this, I believe you should all understand.”
“The secret of the Kryptonian bloodline is to absorb sunlight and become stronger!!”
… …
Everyone suddenly understood.
No wonder the previous two Kryptonian bloodline owners used various methods but had no effect.
No wonder Zhao Zheng was able to discover the secret of the Kryptonian bloodline when it came to him.
Sunbathing equipment is a product that was invented in the last two years. Of course, the previous two people had no chance to experience it…
No wonder this kid didn’t train, but his body is getting stronger and stronger…
“Okay, Zhao Zheng, you don’t need to say anymore.”
President Song said with a face full of shame: “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have questioned your sincerity, and I shouldn’t have doubted your good intentions. Uncle Song apologizes to you.”
At this moment, President Song’s impression of Zhao Zheng completely changed, and it could even be said that he had accepted Zhao Zheng.
