#170 - The competition is over and the champion is born!

Chapter 170: The Martial Arts Competition Ends, the Champion is Born!

Seeing Zhao Zheng return victoriously.

Everyone was both surprised and delighted!

The surprise was that Zhao Zheng actually possessed such formidable strength, capable of defeating even the Four Emperor Red-Haired!

The delight was even simpler; Zhao Zheng had successfully advanced, only one step away from the championship.

If Ma Dongwu failed to advance next, then the championship team would be them.

How could they not be excited at the thought of the generous rewards for the championship team?

Even Gu Yuying couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth at this moment.

Everyone chattered excitedly, unable to conceal their emotions.

Only Guild Leader Song looked at Zhao Zheng with a profound gaze.

The old geezer had already recognized that the "Fist Bone Impact" Zhao Zheng had just unleashed was almost identical to the one Chen Ye had used, except Zhao Zheng's was much more powerful…

Looking at his excited teammates, Zhao Zheng simply smiled and sat down.

Sitting next to him, Song Haitang was very attentive, seemingly noticing that Zhao Zheng was not in the best condition, and immediately asked with concern: "Zhao Zheng, are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" Zhao Zheng waved his hand: "Just a little exhausted, I'll be fine after a rest."

In reality, it was still the impact from Red-Haired's God Avoidance just now.

With his current physique, he wouldn't be tired even after fighting for days and nights.

Song Haitang didn't say anything more, but took Zhao Zheng's left hand, their fingers intertwined.

Guild Leader Song had been paying attention to Zhao Zheng's side, and didn't say much when he saw this scene…

At this moment.

Old Chu reminded: "Quick, look, Ma Dongwu is entering the arena."

… …

Yes.

Ma Dongwu still entered the arena.

Although Ma Dongwu knew that he probably couldn't win against Red-Haired, and others didn't have high hopes for him…

However, having come this far, how could he simply give up?

No matter what.

He wanted to try again.

Anyway, he had just watched the battle between Zhao Zheng and Red-Haired, and had a rough understanding of Red-Haired's strength.

Although Red-Haired was strong, it wouldn't be easy to kill him.

As long as he couldn't be instantly killed, he would go up and try.

If he really couldn't beat him, he could just admit defeat then!

When Ma Dongwu's figure appeared on the arena island, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

"Can Ma Dongwu win?"

"I think it's unlikely; Red-Haired's performance just now was too strong, only a monster like Zhao Zheng could defeat him."

"Unless Ma Dongwu has a trump card, he probably won't win."

"The National Spiritual Realm prohibits the use of extraordinary items, what trump card could he have?"

"It seems that the South Koreans' path to the championship is about to be terminated."

… …

It can be seen from these discussions that many people did not have high hopes for Ma Dongwu.

The reality did not exceed everyone's expectations…

When Ma Dongwu stepped onto the stage, Red-Haired, who had reappeared opposite him, immediately opened his eyes and activated Conqueror's Haki.

Under the impact of the top-tier Haki, Ma Dongwu's performance was only slightly better than that of David, his face very unsightly.

Red-Haired didn't give him any chance to breathe!

The next moment!

God Avoidance reappeared!!

Looking at the imposing Red-Haired rapidly approaching him.

Ma Dongwu no longer held back, roaring and outputting his ability at full power.

It wasn't that Ma Dongwu didn't want to dodge.

But Red-Haired's move was impossible to dodge.

Ma Dongwu's whole body was enveloped in golden light, the golden light divided into two strands, one part rapidly transforming into energy armor on his body, and the other part condensing into a huge energy shield in front of him.

Ma Dongwu even raised his arms in front of him, preparing to withstand Red-Haired's God Avoidance head-on!

"Buzz!"

His fists and arms quickly turned black, like metal.

This was clearly Armament Haki!

Yes, Ma Dongwu also knew Armament Haki, he had used it before when fighting Fujitora.

However, his Armament Haki was far inferior to Zhao Zheng's.

At this moment.

Ma Dongwu used all his means.

However.

He still underestimated the power of Red-Haired's God Avoidance!!

Only by truly facing it could one know the terror of God Avoidance.

When Red-Haired's sword slashed over, all of Ma Dongwu's defensive measures became a joke!

"Bang!"

The energy shield shattered in response.

Along with it, the armor on Ma Dongwu's body and his will to resist shattered.

"Whoosh!"

Ma Dongwu's body flew out like a cannonball.

Along the way, he broke several large trees on the island, finally crashing into the protective shield around the arena before stopping and falling into the sea.

The seawater around him was instantly stained red with blood.

No one knew how much blood Ma Dongwu had lost…

At this time, Ma Dongwu was already out of bounds.

Without him shouting to admit defeat, the system automatically judged him as eliminated.

This guy's strength was not bad, he took Red-Haired's full-force attack and didn't die, just suffered serious injuries and was teleported back…

In the audience.

Seeing the fate of Ma Dongwu after taking a God Avoidance.

It was so tragic.

All the transcendents were startled.

"Damn? This is too miserable, right?"

"I never thought that Red-Haired's move 'God Avoidance' would be so powerful? Almost instantly killed Ma Dongwu."

"Is this the strength of the Four Emperor Red-Haired? Sure enough, very strong!"

"From this point, it further highlights how amazing Zhao Zheng's strength was to be able to block God Avoidance with one punch just now."

"That guy is simply a monster…"

"There will be a good show to watch when we get out, the South Koreans' path to the championship being terminated, and by a newcomer, it will definitely cause a global sensation."

… …

Thus.

Except for Zhao Zheng, all the transcendents were eliminated.

This National Spiritual Realm also came to an end, successfully concluding.

A huge change suddenly occurred in the middle of the arena.

The island in the arena area, including Red-Haired, all disappeared.

A huge holographic screen appeared in front of everyone.

On the holographic screen, the martial arts points rankings of all the teams in Group 1 of this National Spiritual Realm appeared.

Ranked first was Zhao Zheng's team, with a total martial arts score of over three thousand, a huge advantage.

Second place, Ma Dongwu's Korean team.

Third place, the British David team.

The Ugly Federation team, which many people had been optimistic about and was a strong contender for the championship, could only rank fourth.

When Teacher Shen and others saw the golden crown representing the championship hanging on their team on the screen, everyone showed excited and excited expressions.

"We won! We won!"

"The championship is ours!!"

"I never thought that I would have a day to win the National Spiritual Realm championship?"

"Teacher Shen, give me a slap, I'm afraid I'm dreaming now…"

"Go away, let Teacher Chu hit you!"

For a time.

The area around Zhao Zheng fell into a sea of cheers.

Including Zhao Zheng himself, he was also smiling, very happy.

The other teams around were all looking at them with envy.

When they saw Zhao Zheng's figure, they were filled with awe.

At this moment, Zhao Zheng was no longer a newcomer in everyone's eyes!

This is a top-tier seventh-order大佬 (big shot)!

Most importantly, Zhao Zheng is still very young, and his path of transcendence has just begun not long ago.

In the future, he will definitely continue to move forward, and the "King-level" powerhouse is definitely not his end!

Although everyone saw Zhao Zheng's potential, no one came to curry favor with him.

Because everyone knows that after leaving the Spirit Realm, they will lose their memory, and trying to get close now is purely useless.

At this time.

A prompt appeared in the left eyes of all transcendents:

[This Spirit Realm will end in 60 minutes...]

[All participants' rewards are being distributed...]

Seeing the prompt.

The others were fine, but Zhao Zheng's group stopped cheering and began to regain their senses.

Soon.

Everyone realized that there were still some problems that needed to be solved.

"Let's go to the lounge!"

Chairman Song said.

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, entered the lounge together, and then sat down in turn on the sofa in the living room.

Everyone looked at Zhao Zheng, still feeling like they were in a dream.

Teacher Shen couldn't help but say: "I never thought that we would actually win the championship..."

As soon as this was said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Gu Yuying looked at Zhao Zheng and said with a smile: "Zhao Zheng, you really gave us a big surprise. I am now extremely grateful that I was able to team up with you this time."

Zhao Zheng waved his hand and said: "Sister Gu, you're too polite. Winning the championship is not my credit alone."

He said humbly, and then added: "Besides, you were willing to team up with me, a newcomer, regardless of the consequences, which shows that you are also a person who keeps promises. I am personally very happy to be able to help you win the championship."

Indeed.

Gu Yuying was willing to team up with Zhao Zheng, a newcomer, in order to repay a favor from her parents' generation.

From this point of view, this elder sister is at least positive at heart.

"Let's talk about the polite words later."

At this time, Chairman Song said: "There is an important situation now that needs everyone to solve."

Everyone's smiles faded upon hearing this, and they all showed serious expressions.

"Zhao Zheng, after leaving here, you should be planning to continue hiding your strength, right?" Chairman Song asked.

Zhao Zheng nodded: "Yes! Until May, after confirming that no newcomer can obtain the Kryptonian bloodline talent in the Holy Land, and before that old man from South Korea dies, I should continue to hide."

Everyone could understand Zhao Zheng's choice.

If it were them, they would do the same.

"That's the problem!"

Chairman Song said: "On the surface, our team is not a championship seed team at all, but now we have won the championship... After leaving here, when the news spreads, it will definitely cause a sensation, and maybe it will trigger some speculation in the circle of transcendents."

Hearing this.

Everyone's faces became serious.

Zhao Zheng smiled and said: "We have Sister Gu in our team! Sister Gu is also a seventh-order大佬 (big shot). It's understandable to win a championship once in a while, right?"

Chairman Song nodded: "So, after going out, I'm afraid Ms. Gu will have to bear the most attention and pressure."

Gu Yuying said indifferently: "I don't care about these things, but many people know my strength. Even if I have this shield, I'm afraid it still won't dispel some people's doubts..."

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "I didn't plan to hide it for too long anyway. If I can't hide it, then so be it."

With his current strength, he already possesses "talent uniqueness."

The same talent should not appear in the Holy Land again.

Of course, for the sake of prudence, it's definitely better to hide it for as long as possible.

At this time.

Gu Yuying suddenly came back to her senses, as if she had thought of something, and asked Zhao Zheng: "Zhao Zheng, did you already foresee this, and were afraid that it wouldn't be justifiable for you to win the championship, so you agreed to team up with me and use me as a shield?"

Although she couldn't see Gu Yuying's eyes.

However, Zhao Zheng could feel that Gu Yuying was looking at him deeply at this moment.

And Zhao Zheng did intend to do so.

However.

How could he admit to such a thing?

"Of course not!" Zhao Zheng said: "Sister Gu, you're thinking too much. This is my first time in the National Spirit Realm. Even before entering the National Spirit Realm, I hadn't even tested my own strength, and I didn't have a clear understanding of it. How could I have thought that I could win the championship?"

Gu Yuying didn't pursue the matter further.

Although she vaguely felt that her guess might be true, she couldn't ask any more questions.

It might not be a good thing to ask out the truth.

"Let's talk about the rewards!"

Chairman Song added: "Winning the championship not only has a large number of spirit energy point rewards, but also transcendent item rewards. In addition, championship members can even choose to give up the transcendent item reward in order to retain all memories in the National Spirit Realm..."

As he said this, he subconsciously glanced at everyone.

If someone among these people chooses to give up the transcendent item and retain their memory, and then goes out and talks about it.

Then Zhao Zheng's hard work in hiding for so long will have been in vain!

Even.

It will cause serious consequences.

Because, in this world, Zhao Zheng is not the only one who possesses the Kryptonian bloodline talent.

There is also an old undead in South Korea.

Just as Director Sun said before, as soon as Zhao Zheng's strength is revealed, someone will soon know what's going on.

In order to verify the secret of the Kryptonian bloodline, and even to restrict Zhao Zheng, that old fellow from South Korea will be valued...

At this moment, Chairman Song.

Has already regarded Zhao Zheng as his son-in-law, so naturally he has to consider Zhao Zheng's interests.

As for Zhao Zheng.

He thought even more!

As his strength increases, it becomes increasingly difficult for him to hide himself in a low-key manner.

The secret about him will always be revealed one day.

Because Zhao Zheng doesn't intend to keep such a low profile all the time...

Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, it's time to solve that old fellow from South Korea in advance!!

...

"I remember that the transcendent item reward will first appear as a treasure chest."

Chairman Song suddenly said: "I hope that everyone present will choose to take the treasure chest and not retain the memory."

"It's not that I don't trust you, but retaining this memory won't be of much use. It's far less important than a transcendent item."

As soon as he said this.

Everyone immediately understood what he meant.
