#240 - New King? Big news that shocked the world!
"First, let Song Haitang and all of you join the Navy's camp, then let those people unite and join the Pirate's camp. Also, provide them with special items to help interfere with Admiral Aokiji, and allow Whitebeard to return to his peak…"
"What a calculation! What a calculation!!"
Even through the phone,
Zhao Zheng could hear the anger of Chairman Song!
After all, Song Haitang is his only child. As a father, learning that his daughter was being targeted in this way, it was understandable that he was burning with anger.
"Zhao Zheng, thank you so much this time."
"If it weren't for you, and Haitang had to face these things alone, I'm afraid they would have succeeded…"
Chairman Song's tone suppressed uncontrollable anger.
"Uncle Song, it's my duty to take care of Haitang," Zhao Zheng said, and then asked, "Uncle Song, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
He told Chairman Song about this matter, instead of handling it himself directly, in order to gain benefits for Chairman Song…
Chairman Song said, "I'm not angry that outsiders are targeting Haitang, because they are enemies to begin with! But it is especially hateful that our own people are creating obstacles in the middle!"
Speaking of this, Chairman Song seemed to remember that Zhao Zheng was no longer a young man, but a top powerhouse.
He quickly asked, "Zhao Zheng, what do you think?"
Chairman Song was very aware that even if he was Zhao Zheng's future father-in-law, he still had to give enough respect when facing a powerhouse.
"Uncle Song, make a big fuss about it!" Zhao Zheng said coldly, "No one involved in this matter can be let go!"
Hearing this, Chairman Song agreed almost without thinking, "Okay!"
This idea coincided with his own.
Zhao Zheng added, "Including overseas, please also investigate which forces participated in this plan, Uncle Song, and then give me a list. I will settle the score with them one by one!"
…
In the lounge.
After Zhao Zheng left, Teacher Shen couldn't wait to ask:
"What's wrong with you? What exactly is going on?"
Jiang Hebin thought for a while and said, "I really don't know how to explain this matter… How about Sister Haitang, you explain it?"
Song Haitang didn't waste any words and said directly, "Zhao Zheng's true strength has already reached the King level!"
As soon as these words came out.
Several teachers were stunned for a moment, without much reaction.
Because they simply didn't believe it!
Teacher Shen said in surprise, "Haitang, when did you learn to joke?"
Hearing this, Song Haitang was fine, but the other students were anxious.
"Teacher, Sister Haitang is not joking!"
Everyone said one after another.
Making Teacher Shen and the others look confused.
Although everyone was saying that Zhao Zheng's strength was unbelievably strong, Teacher Shen still didn't quite believe it.
A student who has only been on the path of a transcendent for more than a year has the strength of a King-level powerhouse?
This is simply unreasonable!
Not to mention Teacher Shen didn't believe it, Lao Chu and another teacher couldn't believe it either.
Song Haitang is outstanding enough, right?
She has achieved super-god status every time, and her arduous training has never been interrupted.
Her current strength is only approaching the threshold of the sixth level.
Even so, Song Haitang is already a miracle, creating an unprecedented record.
When Song Haitang is mentioned, who doesn't give a thumbs up?
Even those top powerhouses praise Song Haitang when they discuss her.
But you guys are saying that Zhao Zheng is even more outstanding than Song Haitang?
Even several levels more outstanding?
How can anyone believe that?
"Do you know what a King-level powerhouse means?" Teacher Shen couldn't help but say, "Did you encounter some kind of mental attack in the spiritual realm, causing you to have hallucinations?"
Hearing this.
Jiang Hebin and the others sighed.
"I really… don't know how to explain it."
"We can't blame the teacher. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, who would dare to believe it?"
"That's true."
"Forget it, don't explain it. In short… Teacher, you must be respectful to Brother Zhao next time you see him! Although he is still a student, he is a genuine eighth-level powerhouse!"
"Yes! Whitebeard during the Paramount War is a recognized powerhouse whose strength has reached the King level. Brother Zhao can fight him at his peak alone, so his strength is definitely at the King level!"
"Later, teacher, please pay more attention to online news. There are quite a few people who saw Brother Zhao take action this time, so they will definitely talk about it online."
The students said one after another.
Hearing their firm assurances that Zhao Zheng was an eighth-level powerhouse, the teachers looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.
"What you said… is it true?" the unfamiliar female teacher asked.
"It's true!"
"Absolutely true!"
"More real than real gold!"
Hearing the students' guarantees, Teacher Shen and Lao Chu also became a little uneasy.
Teacher Shen looked at Song Haitang: "Haitang, what they said, is it all true?"
"Yes." Song Haitang nodded and said something that couldn't be refuted: "You don't think that I can get super-god status every time because of my own ability, do you? Without Zhao Zheng, I would at most be a transcendent with a little potential."
Teacher Shen: "…"
Because the amount of information received today was too huge and heavy, she had a somewhat unreal feeling of being in a dream.
At this time.
Chen Kai suddenly said, "Teacher, our grades are out. Please take a look at the announcement!"
Hearing this, Teacher Shen came to Chen Kai in a daze and checked the announcement Chen Kai had just received.
[Announcement! Transcendent Zhao Zheng, Song Haitang, Chen Kai, Wang Fei, successfully stopped Whitebeard in the fifteenth level spiritual realm, forcing the entire Whitebeard Pirates to surrender, and preserving a large number of Navy lives. Their battlefield contribution is extremely high, their performance is extremely outstanding, and they have obtained a perfect mission evaluation: SSS level!!]
This announcement appeared in the sight of all transcendents who returned from the fifteenth level spiritual realm.
Although they had been mentally prepared for this, when they saw such an announcement, Jiang Hebin and the others still looked at Chen Kai and Wang Fei with envy.
Envious that they were able to be carried by a big shot.
And when Teacher Shen saw such an announcement, a strong shock appeared on her pretty face!
After that.
The reward settlement panel for Song Haitang's team also appeared…
"Total contribution value of this spiritual realm: Top Contributor (SSS level)!"
"Comprehensive score: SSS level!"
"Comprehensive ranking: First place!"
"Historical ranking: First place!"
"Obtain basic reward: 550 spirit energy points (capped)."
"Obtain additional reward: 200 spirit energy points (capped, evenly distributed among team members)."
“Received a Perfect Achievement Reward from the 15th Layer of the Spirit Realm: an Extraordinary Treasure Chest (reward belongs to the main force).”
……
After everyone dispersed from the lounge.
Teacher Shen and the others immediately reported the news.
Due to the magnitude and strangeness of the information, although it successfully attracted the attention of the school leaders, it also made them somewhat unwilling to believe it.
More than a year.
To possess the strength of a King-level powerhouse in the 15th Layer of the Spirit Realm?
That's too exaggerated!
To ensure the authenticity of the news, with the principal away on business and not yet returned, the vice-principal took the lead, leading some important leaders to Zhao Zheng's dormitory, preparing to seek confirmation from Zhao Zheng.
Teacher Shen and Old Chu were also in the team.
Everyone came to the door of Zhao Zheng's dormitory with complex feelings, and finally, the vice-principal personally knocked on the door of Zhao Zheng's dormitory.
“Knock! Knock! Knock…”
At this moment, Zhao Zheng.
Was sitting on the sofa, resting.
Hearing the knock, he stood up and went to open the door.
After opening the door and seeing a large group of leaders arriving, Zhao Zheng's face showed no surprise.
After his true strength was exposed, it would be abnormal if these leaders didn't come!
“Student Zhao Zheng, are we disturbing your rest?”
The vice-principal had a smile on his face, and his tone was very polite.
“No.” Zhao Zheng stepped aside and invited, “Principal, and all the leaders and teachers, please come in.”
Everyone walked into Zhao Zheng's dormitory.
Including Teacher Shen and Old Chu, a total of seven people came.
Zhao Zheng's was a single dormitory, and the living room only had one set of sofas, not enough for seven people to sit, so Teacher Shen and Old Chu could only stand on the side… …
“Would everyone like something to drink?”
Zhao Zheng greeted, “I only have plain water here, but there are some drinks in the refrigerator.”
With his current strength, although he wouldn't deliberately show off or become arrogant and disregard everyone, there was no need for him to continue to act cautiously in front of these school leaders.
“Student Zhao Zheng, no need to trouble yourself.”
The vice-principal immediately said, “We came this time because we heard some major news and wanted to verify it.”
“It's about my strength, right?” Zhao Zheng asked directly, “I don't know how you want to verify it?”
Seeing Zhao Zheng's confidence, the vice-principal immediately considered his words and said cautiously, “The best way, of course, is to find a testing venue to test it…”
Zhao Zheng showed an interested expression, “Where do we test?”
He actually really wanted to know, if he went all out now, where would his strength be among King-level powerhouses?
“This…” The vice-principal said, “Testing the strength of a King-level powerhouse is no small matter and requires applying to the higher-ups for a venue.”
“So troublesome?”
Zhao Zheng frowned.
But he could also understand!
With his current strength, going all out would definitely trigger a large-scale earthquake in a province, and the damage caused would be immeasurable, so it was indeed necessary to apply for a venue.
“It is a bit troublesome…” The vice-principal showed an unnatural, ingratiating smile, “If Student Zhao Zheng agrees, I will apply to the higher-ups immediately.”
He had been the vice-principal for many years, and it was the first time he had shown an ingratiating smile to a student, so he definitely wasn't very skilled.
If he wasn't skilled, it would be unnatural.
“Okay!”
Zhao Zheng nodded and also made a suggestion, “Personally, I hope that we can find the most powerful King-level powerhouse to spar with me!”
Hearing this request, everyone was a little surprised.
The others looked like they wanted to say something but were afraid to say anything.
The vice-principal also didn't dare to say anything and could only nod, “Okay, I will pass this request on.”
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng knew what these people were thinking.
They just felt that he was a bit arrogant to dare to make such a request!
Also, sparring would inevitably be dangerous, and it wasn't necessary for just testing strength.
He thought about it and said, “Regarding King-level powerhouses, I've actually killed one… I mainly want to know, what level can my current strength reach.”
Everyone was stunned.
They didn't know what Zhao Zheng meant by "killed one".
Could he be referring to the white-bearded man in the Spirit Realm?
The white-bearded man did possess King-level strength, and since he was defeated by Zhao Zheng and died from exhaustion, then Zhao Zheng saying that he killed a King-level powerhouse wasn't an exaggeration.
What these people didn't know was.
The one Zhao Zheng was referring to was the "Magneto" from the Ugly Federation!
……
The leaders didn't stay long. After confirming that Zhao Zheng was willing to test his strength, they said goodbye and left.
After walking outside.
The other leaders then spoke one after another:
“Principal, are you really going to report Zhao Zheng's request for a spar? King-level powerhouses have devastating destructive power with every move… I'm not doubting Student Zhao Zheng's strength, but I'm worried that accidents may occur during the spar, putting him in danger.”
“That's right! Even if Student Zhao Zheng really has the strength of a King-level powerhouse, it's probably just the beginning stage, and there's definitely still a gap between him and those veteran powerhouses.”
“Alas! We still don't know if this matter is true or not!”
“If it's a false alarm and we report it, then our Zhenwu University will lose a lot of face.”
Hearing these words.
The vice-principal said unhappily, “Why didn't you mention these things just now? What's the use of being wise after the event?”
Several leaders immediately shut their mouths.
“Since it's Student Zhao Zheng's request, then we can only report it!” The vice-principal said in a deep voice, “If we change the reported content without authorization and cause Student Zhao Zheng to be dissatisfied, everyone, have you thought about the consequences?”
Everyone immediately stopped talking… …
……
When the school leaders reported Zhao Zheng's intention to test his strength and Zhao Zheng's request, it immediately attracted great attention from the higher-ups!
To ensure the authenticity of the matter, the higher-ups originally planned to send someone down to verify the accuracy of the information before making arrangements.
However, the appearance of another piece of news immediately made the higher-ups cancel their verification plan.
It was about Zhao Zheng's strength trending on social media… …
Around 3 PM.
A trending topic quickly rushed to the top of the trending list.
【About Zhao Zheng's True Strength!】
This was the trending topic title.
Zhao Zheng was originally an internet celebrity and had been on the trending list many times.
Seeing his name, netizens were no strangers to him, so many people clicked on this topic to watch.
When they saw someone saying that Zhao Zheng's true strength was that of a King-level powerhouse, many netizens' first reaction was disbelief!
“King-level powerhouse? Is the blogger dreaming?”
“He wants to be a King-level powerhouse? Not even in a hundred years!”
“Heh heh, just a pretty boy who was forced up here, if he can reach King-level, I'll livestream eating three pounds of sh*t… …”
