#3 - Flame-Flame Fruit? Even dogs won’t eat it!
As Zhao Zheng stepped onto the stage, he brushed past the beautiful Su Mengyao.
However, she didn't even glance at him, treating him like air…
Of course, Zhao Zheng didn't mind; he was more concerned about whether he could obtain a transcendent opportunity.
With a mix of apprehension and anticipation, he stepped onto the stage and entered the space-time wormhole without hesitation.
The instant he entered the Holy Land, his consciousness arrived in a bizarre and fantastical world!
Around him appeared many familiar figures, countless Devil Fruits, and some other strange objects.
They swam past Zhao Zheng like fish in a river.
Zhao Zheng knew that these were all transcendent opportunities!
Therefore, he immediately reached out to grab one.
Unexpectedly, he actually caught something…
When Zhao Zheng's consciousness returned to his body, he found himself back in the real world, standing at the entrance of the Holy Land, with a crystal box in his hand.
"Zhao Zheng, what transcendent opportunity are you holding?"
The vice-principal's voice brought Zhao Zheng back to his senses.
Without opening the crystal box, he could feel the information emanating from it, which was incredibly magical!
Nevertheless, Zhao Zheng opened the box, revealing a crimson Devil Fruit.
"It's the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit," Zhao Zheng said.
As soon as these words came out, the entire audience gasped!!
"Holy crap?! It's actually a Logia-type Devil Fruit?"
"Yesterday, Second High School produced one, causing a sensation throughout the city. I didn't expect our school to have one today! Are Logia-type Devil Fruits becoming commonplace?"
"Damn! This guy… is too lucky, right?"
"I'm so envious, why wasn't I the one to get a Logia-type Devil Fruit?"
"Zhao Zheng, this kid… is going to make it big!"
"The legendary Flame-Flame Fruit! Eating it grants the ability to control fire. I want it so badly!"
"So far, everyone who has eaten a Logia-type Devil Fruit, as long as they don't die prematurely, will become a major figure in the future! This guy named Zhao Zheng from Class Two will probably be in a different world from us from now on."
… …
Below the stage.
Thousands of students were buzzing with discussion, and everyone looked at Zhao Zheng with envy, jealousy, and hatred, wishing they could kill him and take his place.
On the stage.
The school leaders, including the principal, were all extremely excited. Especially the teachers in charge of Class Two, who even stood up involuntarily.
The appearance of a Logia-type student in the school would bring great political achievements to them as teachers and leaders.
In addition, with the bond between teachers and students, these teachers who had taught Zhao Zheng would benefit when he became successful in the future.
However, the people present felt that it was perfectly normal!
If they had the opportunity to curry favor with a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, they would only say even cheesier things!
Because a Logia-type Devil Fruit user has unlimited potential and may even grow into a "King-level" powerhouse in the future!
"Zhao Zheng, you can go down and rest for now," the vice-principal gently reminded, seeing that Zhao Zheng seemed to be in a daze.
Hearing this, Zhao Zheng carried the box and walked towards the stage.
As for whether not eating the Devil Fruit in the box immediately would lead to accidents? Such as someone snatching it away?
No way!!
The crystal box is not only used to store transcendent items, but also a protective mechanism provided by the Holy Land!
Unless Zhao Zheng voluntarily gives it away, otherwise, if anyone dares to take it by force and snatch the crystal box, they will suffer the backlash of the protection mechanism!!
It is said that the retaliation method of the crystal box is a very terrible curse!
In addition, under non-voluntary circumstances, even if the crystal box is really snatched away, others cannot open it and cannot get the transcendent items inside.
Even coercion won't work!
The protection mechanism of the crystal box has its own set of judgment standards and can sense the true heart of the host. Once someone uses special means to coerce the host to hand over the crystal box, the crystal box will self-destruct.
This is also the reason why no one dares to snatch the transcendent opportunities of others.
If they could be snatched and threatened at will, I am afraid that the major forces would have kidnapped those children who had just come of age…
… …
When Zhao Zheng stepped down from the stage.
A group of university admissions officers immediately surrounded him.
"Zhao Zheng, I am the director of admissions at Magic City Martial Arts University. On behalf of Magic City Martial Arts University, I welcome Zhao Zheng…"
"Zhao Zheng, I am from Peking University. If you come to Peking University, not only will your tuition be waived, but you will also receive a generous scholarship!"
"True Martial University needs a genius like you. As long as you are willing to come, you can name your own conditions…"
More than twenty admissions officers surrounded Zhao Zheng, talking about the school's benefits and doing their best to win him over.
This formation really stunned Zhao Zheng, and he was numb!
Seeing Zhao Zheng being snatched by major prestigious schools, the other students were even more envious.
Some girls looked at Zhao Zheng with strange eyes.
They were surprised to find that the once ordinary Zhao Zheng now looked as radiant as gold, and his face was even more handsome!
"Everyone, teachers, leaders, please listen to me first!" Zhao Zheng said loudly: "I didn't expect that I would be able to get the Flame-Flame Fruit, and I never thought about which school to go to, so please give me some time to think about it? Moreover, such a big thing, I have to go back and discuss it with my parents."
What he said made a lot of sense.
Although many admissions officers couldn't wait to take Zhao Zheng away on the spot, they also knew that this idea could only be thought about, so they all agreed.
"Okay, Zhao Zheng, you think about it first. This is my business card. There is my phone number on it. If you make a decision, call me and I will drive to pick you up in person…"
"Zhao Zheng, this is my business card. The gate of our True Martial University is always open for you…"
Everyone handed over their business cards before letting Zhao Zheng leave.
At this moment, Zhao Zheng was actually a little confused.
He didn't expect that he would just grab the Flame-Flame Fruit in the Holy Land.
Was the Holy Land trip too easy?
Why did so many people get nothing?
Could this be a benefit for traversers?
Looking at the Flame-Flame Fruit in his hand, Zhao Zheng hesitated, wondering whether he should eat it.
In his previous life on Earth, there was a saying, "The Flame-Flame Fruit, even dogs don't eat it"!!
The reason why this sentence appeared was because in the mid-to-late stages of the One Piece world, any dog could play with fire at will, and fire had completely become a street commodity.
Although this is not the One Piece world, Zhao Zheng still felt a little uneasy…
In addition, he was not very satisfied with the Flame-Flame Fruit.
At this time.
A slender and beautiful figure suddenly came to Zhao Zheng's face and blocked Zhao Zheng's path.
Zhao Zheng raised his head and saw a pretty face with pear blossoms and rain, looking at him pitifully.
It's Su Mengyao!
